THE LATE THOMAS mAssIE.
Marriage OF His widOw-His VIII
Offered for Probate,

The Washington Post Of Thursday
announced the fact that among the mar
RAGE licenses issued in that city on We'd
nesday was one TO Jacob Ct. Goldsmith
and Mary J. Massie both of Richmond,
Va. The couple have returned to this
city.
Mrs. Massie NOV Mrs. Goldsmith
was the widow OF Mr.. Thomas Massie,
who died at the American Hotel on
Monday, January Odd, after an illness OF
thirty-six hours, and was buried at Hol-
lywood on Wednesday the 18th.
The deceased was insured for s., 600 IN
an accident company, and it is claimed
that the policy is due and payable be
cause his death was the result Of an acct
dent.
Some weeks prior to his death Mr..
Massie was out in the country cunning,
and in jumping across a ditch sprained
his back. Later, in walking along the
street near the st. James Hotel he
slipped on the ice-coated sidewalk and
received a shock, but he never alluded
TO it, as far as is known, rs causing him
any serious pain. Three days afterwards
he was seized with a deadly sickness
which two physicians pronounced lock-
jaw. and it appears he died Of this, after
having a number OF conyulsions-his
Jaws mean while being close set.
Mr.. Mnssie was quite often known TO
use morphine by hypodermic injections.
In two other well-knOwn cases In this
city the habit caused lockjaw and death.
So It is regarded as very likely that in
this case the disease was produced by
like means II would be especially pro-
bable if Mr.. Massie did not take the
pains to thoroughly cleanse the syringe
after each use of it.
The will of Mr.. Massie WAS presented
for probate in the Chancery Court yes
terday, but was not admitted because the
witnesses present were not able to prove
it satisfactorily. The paper offered was
not read. The estate is valued varlously
from $40, 900 to $4,000.

when planted for fodder, cover about
two inches deep, and pack the ground
by tramping with the feet. Cultivate
thoroughly and the next spring you
viii have enough plants to fence one
section of land. The hedge now should
be plowed at least one year before the
plants are set out, and the land again
broken in the fall, and again in the
spring before the plants are set. Be-
fore setting, thoroughly harrow the
ground. A very straight furrow the
full depth of the pillow can be pulled,
should be made in the center of the
ground: if this is run through with the
plow 3 or times all the better. The
plants are now set, the tops having
been previously cut of about 5 inches
above the root Now is the time to do
your work thoroughly. See that the
earth is packed against every plant, and
with through cultivation, scarcely
plant will be lost. Cultivate we'll 3
years, and with little labor, trimming
you have fence that requires no fur
Their attention during natural life
time. In conclusion, don't let any pre-
judice that may be in your mind against
hedge fences in other states influence
you here. There are no good objec-
tions to hedge fences in this country.
ANY one who will make business of
raising the plants for sale will find it
profitable business. Begin at once and
let our country be checked off by rows
of living fences which will be COM
fort for all time to come. Full par
ticulars will be cheerfully given in re-
gard to the culture and trimming at any
time by calling at the TINES Office.

HEDGE FENCES.

On the treeless plains of Western
Kansas nothing will add more to beauty
and comfort than hedge fences. The
best tree for such fences is, without
doubt, the Usage orange. 1t is very
handy tree or shrub, and with proper
care in preparing the ground, setting
out good plants and properly cutting
for three or four years perfect fence
can be had. 1t will not only be fence
that will last lifetime, and afford per-
feet protection to crops. against stock,
but it will add more to the beauty of
the country than any one thing that
can be done. 1t Will offer sure and
safe guide to the traveller. and protec-
ton against storms and billiards. 1t
is very cheap. A farmer can buy one
peck of Usage orange seed for 50 or
less They should be placed IN bag
large enough TO hoid one DuShei, this
bag of seed should be placed in pool
of water that is slightly warm. Every
day this bag of seed should be taken
out and well stirred or shaken up and
again placed in the water. Examine
the seed every day or two to see if they
are sprouting. As soon as one seed
can be found sprouting it is time to
plant them. Generally it will take
from ten days 30 two weeks to plant
the seed. The ground should be as
thoroughly prepared as for garden seed.
Mark the rows with hoe or pillow 81 feet
apart. Drill by hand as thick as corn

Lewis Post No 294 G. a. r. has great
reason for congratulation over the sue
cess of their campfire Tuesday evening.
All arrangements were ample and COM

all circumstances suspicious. The
weather was fine: the crowd was as large
as the hall would accommodate, and all
who assisted them in carrying out the
programme, filled their allotted parts in a
very creditable manner.
When Post Commander Sitter called
the house to order. fully two
thousand people were in the hall.
Exercises were opened by short but
impressive prayer by Rev. G. Lowther.
The address of welcome was delivered by
Rev. n G. Collins, who during the war
was Post Chaplin at Grants headquar-
ters His address was brief and in well
chosen language. He said: Napoleon
said that the best soldiers in the world
were those who had no minds of their
own. This might have applied to France
in Napoleon time, but not to America
in this day, and it was not true of the
men who formed the Union army.

cost us many valuable lives and much
treasure but am sure it is worth all it
