Death Of N Promising Young Atteruer.
Word was received In this city about
o o'clock this morning that Frank ID.
Carpenter, a prominent young attor-
ney, had died at Rehoboth, and the
sad news was severe shock 60 hts
many friends. Mr.. Carpenter was the
only son OF Joseph l.. Carpenter. Jr.,
and was about ~ yenrs OF age. He was
born In this city. and after receiving
10 preparatory education entered
Princeton College, where he graduated
with honor In 1885. In 1887 he entered
the law office OF Bradford n Vande.
Igrlft, and after studying law three
years creditably passed an examina-
ton and was admitted to the bar In
February, 1890. Since then he has
had quite number of cases, all of
which he conducted with skill and
ability.
His health has not been good for
over year, and about three weeks ago
he went to Rehob0th, with the hope
lof recupernting. Some ten days since
he was seized with bilious dysantery.
(which his system. already weakened,
was unable to Withstand, and he grow
worse until he passed away. lie was
mot considered seriously III until
"Wednesday night and several ell
lcouraging letters concerning his con-
ldltlon had been received by his family.
Yesterday morning his father was sent
for and went down at once.
| Upon reaching his bedside and ind
Ing him very low, he Immediately tel
legraphed for the IN other and sister to
come at once. which they did, and
REACHED Rehobotn last evening. This
morning MIR. Carpenter telegraphed
the news OF his death. and also for
Funeral director Jordan A. Wilson to
come and take charge of the remains,
which will be brought to this city for
linterment.
Mr.. Carpenter was married about
two years ago to Niles Richardson, but
does not leave any children. He was
a remarkably bright young man and
the possessor of degree OF agrees
IsiveneHs. which, combined with his
ability, would in few years have con-
lstituted him one Of the leading mem.
bers OF the bar. He also had consid-
cradle musical talent and for long
time was n leading member of one of
the Episcopal Church choirs. He had
considerable ambition In this line and
devoted considerable time to its study.
! He had large circle of friends, and
with his jovial disposition was well
liked by all who had tho pleasure OF
his acquaintance. His death Is not
lonly severe affiiction to his imme.
Idiate family, but also loss to the bar
and the community In gener al.

speaking Of the alarming summer
mortality among his patients, that
the cause of this high death rate among
infants Is indigestion"
AT the beginning OF summer, the
best physicians gave warning that
pure food must lie used for babies.
That this warning did not reach every
city and town in this stnte is evident
from the high infantile death rate.
But In those places where the news
papers published the discussions that
were going on. large quantities OF lac.
tated food were sold and this best of
diets for children WINS used. The re.
suit Is. statistics show that fewer
deaths have occurred in those towne
