On the 18th inst. WILLIAM CAMDEN
aged 50 years.


After spending the later years of bis
minority as an assistant on q farm, and
the first of his manhood as q clerk la q
village store In Prince Georges County,
Mr.. Camden returned 10 Anne Arundel,
his native county-apd, with one of bis
brothers. associated himself In business
in the City of Annapolis. Unsuccessful

In the Treasury of Maryland. rendered
him In the year 1887 by the Hon. George
Mackubin, then State Treasurer,-and so
commercially discharged the duties of
that delicate and responsible trust as 10
be therein retained Except during an in.
terval of two years. to the day Of his
death.
Few men have lived whose character
is as conspicuous for continuous and
unblemished piety and morality as was
bis. Through the large period of nearly
ninety years he so thoroughly preserved
the whiteDess of his soul from foul con-
tact with dissipation and vice that. but q
few days before bis fatal illness, he as
sured the writer that he had neither ever
entered gambling den nor ever known
the different suits in q deck of cards.
never INDUCED in the use of profane Ian
guage-never drank until intoxicated
never been upon race course-neyer stak-
ed dollar upon chance-nOr even ever
participated in amusements of such ques
tionable propriety as the theatre and the
ball room afford.
United in his youth with the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church as communicate
member, he was undertaking 10 his devo-
ton to lis teachings. and childlike Ia obe-
dience TO it's rules and authorities.
nananAanA nnlnlv for his 0nnnart vn0n
inadequate compensation for his fai thful
official services, he recognized that others
were poorer than himself, and answered
every appeal to his charity with that
christian generosity which disregards
the self-deprivation and discomfort 1t i'm
poses.
10 the conduct Of bis business affairs
with his fellow men, his word was reck-
oned IS inviolahle as his bond, and, In
every relation and friendship and affec
tion,-as neighbor, acquaintances and
kinsman,--as husband and parent
such were his words and his deeds, and
such his exercises of the best virtues that
adorn and embellish human character.

By more, as Uncle Billy than as Mr..
| Camden, he was addressed, and worthily
we may well believe was the title bestow.
| ed. when we memorize the events of his
life and assure ourselves therefrom that,
In his heart he cherished a sentiment as
warm as an Uncle's love for all within
the circle of his acQuaintances. He SO

doubt and terror as had been his cradle,
and from Earth to Heaven he passed as
one who lies down to pleasant dreams.

An Intelligent Dog.

y large dog at one of the Scranton
hotels became very much attached to one
of the boarders. He got in the habit Of
following this man in his leisure walks
mp town, and the boarder liked TO have
him along. But on rainy day the dog
didn't see the man start out, and the lat
ter had GOT around the corner before the
dog caught sight of him. The biz dog
was so tickled when he saw that his old
companion was not far away that lie
dashed up and rubbed his great wet side
against the gentleman's good clothes.
That was u form of boisterous familiari-
ty not to be put up with, and the man
spoke harsllly to the dog and drove him
back The dogs sensitive nature resent
ed this unkind treatment, for from that
day to this the man has never been able
to get the dog TO walk out with him, al
though he has done everything he could
think of to win back the dogs friend
ship He followed the man once, but he
did it much against his will and only
after his owner had ordered him to. 1t
was thought tho spell had been broken,
but it hadn't, and he has refused to &C.
company the man except when his mas
ter has commanded him to.
Another illustration of the dogs intel
ligence is told by the same gentleman.
The dogs owner and he We're in the
reading room one day when the dog
strobe in and lay down on the carpet. Il
won't mention his name or make any
motions" said the landlord to his board
er, referring to the dog, "but I'll say
something to You in an ordinary tone,
and see if he will notice it." Then the
landlord added: Il think his place is
behind the desk in front of the safe, in
stead of in this room" The dog seemed
to pay no attention to what had been
said, but he got up right away, walked
slowly through the long hall, pushed the
gate open back of the desk and lay down
in front of the safe.-Scranton Special to

Two young women and young

didn't like, or at least they pretended
not to like it.
"What a horrible cigar that isl said

"Well, some people don't know enough

and his position was 4 little embarrass-

As the stage halted he turned to the
young man who was with the prim
young ladies and said: Il have heard a
good deal of what has been said about
smoking. Now, it might as we'll be I'M

The Hungarian poet, Maurice Jokil,
who was an intimate friend and COM
panion of the late Prince Rudolph, has
just made a contribution to the solution
of what is still the mysterious tragedy OF
Meyerling. The poets theory is that the
crown prince, seeing public opinion go
ing against what he conceived to be his
mission, deliberately sacrificed himself
to the peace of the world. In support of
this idea he cites two scraps of converse
ton, in one of which Prince Rudolph,
referring to the floating rumors about
his domestic relations, said: II love my
family beyond everything, and tell those
who say the opposite that they do not
speak the truth. The other was: "Ah.
how would like to die on field of bat
tie. War is inevitable, and, therefore,
would that it would come quickly! The
longer it is delayed the worse it will be.
Either we will conquer, or we will fall
with glory" This settles the question
in the mind of the poet.-New York
