The Death of Mrs. Gen. schofeld.

Mrs Schofeld, the wife of Maj Gen John
NJ Schofield, commander of the Army of the
United States, died at the Richmond Flats, in
this city, on Sunday morning, Dec. 80 of heart
failure.
Mrs. Schofield had been suffering from heart
trouble and nervous prostration for some weeks,
but nevertheless her death was very sudden
and unexpected.
Surgeon General and Mrs. Moore had given a
dinner Saturday night, at which Gen. and Mrs.
SchOfield were to be the especial guests of the
evening. Mrs. Schofieid was not feeling well
enough to be present, however, and the GEN
eral went without her. On his return to the
Richmond Mrs. Schofeld's symptoms were so
unfavorable that Dr. Yarrow was called in and
alterward Drs. OReilly and Lincoln were sum-
moned. She grew worse, however, and died at
$50 o'clock Sunday morning.
Mrs. Schotield was a daughter of Prof Bart
lett, Professor Of Philosophy at West Point, and
Gen. Schofeld married her while he was de-
tailed as instructor in the Military Academy.
She leaves a daughter, recently married to
Lieut.. Andrews, of the 18th u. S. Art, and two
sons-William b. Schofield, engaged in business
in New York aud Richard $. Schofeld, of FL
Paso, Tex. Mrs. Andrews arrived in Washing
ton q few days ago on a visit, and was with her
mother at the time of her death Lieut. An
drews arrived Sunday night. Mrs. Schofield
will be buried at West Point On Wednesday,
Jan. 2.
The death of Mrs. Schofield will not inter
fere with the reception of the officers of the
Army at the White House on New Years Day
further than that Gen. Schofeld and his per-
sonal staff will be excused from attendance by
the Secretary of War.

months ago by the old soldiers as the grandest
soldiers paper in the country, it undoubtedly
is to-day. Other Journals may have done good
work, but none were nearly so effective as the
grand old soldiers friend. Especially are the
old veterans of Indiana proud of the course
of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE in exposing the

handsomely to our calls upon them to place
him on the retired list, where he could no
longer obstruct pension legislation.

the Public Mind.
"How few people there are who are
free from superstitions OF one kind or
another" said friend to me, ''and yet
how few will acknowledge, even to
themselves, that they are superstitious.
One person believes in the genuine old
fashioned ghost, which appears in
some dark crossroads where some one
was murdered, or in the deserted house
where a miser died and left his spirit
to guard his hidden treasure; another
believes that there is something omin-

gambler has superstitious belief in

who, though we may say to ourselves
we have no superstitious beliefs, will
occasionally attribute some little hap
pening to something supernatural. l,
for one, have to acknowledge that the
occurrence which am about to relate
had such an influence on my mind that,
against my will, believe just little
bit in the supernatural. When l
was boy, living at home with my
parents on Kentucky farm, l came in
from the field one night, and, after
scraping the fresh-plowed dirt from
my boots and washing preparatory to
taking supper, noticed that there was
an extra chair and plate at the table.
/ asked mother the meaning of this and
she replied in an off-hand manner that
my brother, who lived in Chicago and
who had not been home in eight years,
would be home that evening. / asked
her how she knew that, and she replied
that she had nothing tangible to base
her belief on, but she was positive he
would be home; and "sure enough" he
did come. AS we were sitting down to
supper a rap came to the door. THAT
is he!" said mother, and filled with
doubt and curiosity opened the door
and saw man so different from the
the brother that left eight years before
that i concluded that mothers !dea
was mistake, but he grabbed me by
the hand and spoke my name, and in
about two seconds his arms were around

that they filed me with a desire to
leave home and then come back years
after to be cried over. After the greet
ing was over. he sat down to supper in
the place which had been prepared for
him, and as he had come straight from
the railroad station to the farm and
had sent no word in advance of his
coming, he conld hardly believe that
preparations had been made for him.

Curious Incidents of Social Life In WASH

The stories that were published last
winter and the winter before OF the un-
invited guests who crowded that Chi
nese Minister'S parlors were not eXag-
gerated. They were true in every par
ticular, and more racy anecdotes of
social experience could have been told
by the correspondents had they wished.
1t is not unusual for hostesses to find
their parlors filled with strange people.
The occurrence is only too common.
There is not q woman who has enter
tanned in Washington who can not re-
late some experience with the great
unlimited. The intruders are to be
found in the greatest numbers at the
receptions of people in official life.
Many strangers regard these as in the
nature of public receptions. Unac-
quainted, perhaps, with social custom,
they do not recognize the rights of the
servants of the people," as they are
fond of calling them, to any privacy,
even in their homes. The advent of
a crowd of curiously-dressed people in
the parlors of the Secretary of State or
of the Secretery of the Interior at a
card reception would astonish none OF
the receiving party, however much it
might annoy them.
At one of the afternoon receptions
given by the family Of the Secretary of
State under the last Administration a
number of plainly dressed women
walked in and began to look about the
parlors. Miss Bayard stepped forward
to greet them, but was met with a re-
quest not to "bother'' herself, and the
information that they had ''just come
in to look around" At another large
reception a showily-dressed woman
was approached in the tea room by the
daughter of one of the Cabinet officers
and asked if she would have some re-
freshments. "No," was the response,
delivered in hard, metallic tone of
voice, II have just given my order to

was had at reception at which she
was asked to assist. The unlimited
guests did not enter the parlor where
the receiving party was stationed, but
went direct through the hall to the Sec
ond parlor and into the dining-room.
AT another entertainment given mad
vertently on the night set aside for
public reception at the White House,
the number of the uninvited guests was
so great that it was finally necessary to
station policeman at the curb to ask the
occupants OF each carriage as 1t was

invitations. And the people who had

Poultry is generally the most neg

Don't be afraid of "burning up"
your crop by using too much manure.
1t is a myth that never materializes.
The only way to "burn up" a crop is
by neglecting it. Plenty of manure,
and the soil kept loose on the surface,
will always give good results. Con-
centrate your work on small space,
and aim to leave the soil richer after
the removal of every crop.
1t is very easy to over feed brood

stroys so many; paralysis, which pre-
vents the use of the limbs and causes

Ind perish; apoplexy, which causes
;hem to fall over and die suddenly,
and others which kill off fully one half

its useful as we'll as it's ornamental
side. just take peep around one of
the corners and you will find a verita-
BILE surprise awaiting you-yes, every
thing under the sun for the conven-

the very top of the screen is run red
and white braid, forming a lattice
work-the incest snuggery possible
for paper patterns. On both sides
of the screen are placed pockets
of various sizes. to be put to
any use desired. Beneath this are
tackled strips of leather, into which
are cozily tucked the scissors, large
and small. Boxes of pasteboard or
wood are securely fastened in odd
places upon the framework; so handy
to hold buttons, tape, thread, and other
odds and ends. In the center is sus-
pended u good substantial cushion,
bristling with needles and pins. What
could be more delightful than this NOV

ried with greatest ease out upon the

of work accomplished during the warm
