Dir. John w. Bowdoin though call
ed to very many patients suffering
from typhoid fever, has not lost, we
believe, a single patient. This is
rather remarkable record consider
ing the malignant character of the
disease.
On our return from the Fair at
Cape Charles we were first made ac-
quainted with the new fashion re-
Gently introduced in our social life,
of making the ladies in the cars-fa-

were-stand up, while the lords of
creation reclined lazily in their
seats, putting the while vile smoke
from still viler pipes in the faces OF
our wives, our daughters, our moth

become so "yankeeized" as to forget,
at home or abroad, the respectful
consideration due that sex, which
by their nature and incompatible
characteristics should command the
tenderest solicitude on the part OF
every gentleman for their comfort
and pleasure. Will this discourtesy
be witnessed again on our trains?
Sorrowfuily we record the death
of our friend and former neighbor
and associate, Mrs. Fannie Rowles,
daughter of John W. Gillespie, Esq,
and wife of our friend James Rowles.
Her life went out like the last sigh of
summer zephyr, on the eve of last
Friday, surrounded by loving friends
relatives and husband \ more low
ing personality rarely graces the
walks of this life than hers. Loving,
fond and dutiful, as wife, daughter,
sister and mother she more than
measured up TO every requirement in
every relation of life. Patient in suf-
fering, considerate to the utmost of
the grief stricken hearts around her
sick bed, she heroically suppressed
the pangs that racked her fragile be-
ing. and concealed to the last from
her dearest friends her sufferings and
her hopelessness Of ultimate recov-
cry. Her funeral was largely attend
ed; loving hands buried her casket
beneath beautiful flowers, symbol
cal OF hope and eternal happiness.
The funeral services were conducted
by the Rev. Mr.. Dunaway, her pas
tor, assisted by Rev. ]. L. King and
Rev. Mr.. Hayes, of the NJ. E. Church,
South. The sermon was full of
hope for the dead and of comfort
and cheer for her mourning relatives
and friends. Bro. Hayes gave utter
ance to tender, loving and beauti-
tiful prayer, replete with thanks for
the life and example of the dead one
and of supplication and hope for the
living. a short but well spent life
has ended, but to those who knew
her best her example will ever be liv-
ing, her love and affection never
