by Mrs. $eveIs.
Not a great deal has been developed
in the last twenty-four hours that would
tend to throw any light on The murder Of
Mrs. A D. Matson. Sheriff Morris of

to help catch the murderer, and incI-
dentalIy TO work little for the warden

knows Novels of old aud says
he used to have another wife
when he lived in Sumner county. All
efforts 10 locate her, however, have thus
far been fruiIless.
In the last day or two rumors have
been flying thick and fast that one Of
Mrs AIatson's gold watches mad been
discovered in local pawnshop. 1t is
learned, however, after sitting the mat
fsr to the bottom, thal the watch winch
was found was one that was pawued by

~ can now answer why il is that the

Captain Mcintyre Of the steam
collier Costa RIGA, which arrived
at San Francisco on the 18th inst,
from Nanaimo, reported that on
Friday afternoon he passed the tug
Fearless with the large four-masted
ship Hawaiian Isles in tow about
forty miles northwest Of Point
Arena. The weather was very
heavy at the time, and the tug had
all she could do to handle the big
ship. Seas were breaking over the
Hawaiian Isles, and the vessel
rolled heavily.
The crew of the British ship
Glenlui, which left San Francisco
for Bristol September 18th, mutined
shortly before reaching the Horn,
and five of the men finished the
| voyage in irons. On trial all hands
set up the defense that the ship
was unseaworthy and poorly found
in the matter of provisions, but the
plea availed them nothing, the
Admiralty Court sentencing them
to a month each at hard labor.
The three-cornered fight which
has been going on for over a year
between the Sailors Home man
agement, the members of the Ship

least negotiations are under way
between the home and the ship
owners which will, it is expected,
eliminate in the two combining
against the Sailors Union.
The greatest speed attained by
sailing ships, according to Mulhal,
was by the James Baines, 42O
miles in twenty-four hours, and
Flying Cloud, 412. The Red

days, averaging 325 miles day.

Death of an Old Lady.

Mrs. Jane Hahn, an aged pilgrim,
departed this life on the evening of
April goth, in her 73d year. Mrs.
Hahn was born Nov. 6, 1921, near
Frostburg, About the age of II
she openly confessed Christ and
became member of the Lutheran
church. She had been a consistent
member to the day of her death.
She married the late John Hahn
and moved to this county to live.
She had been an invalid for more
than tventy years, but through all
her sufferings she never lost her
child-like faith in God, but was
constantly admonishing her friends
and loved ones to live Christian
lives. She seemed to live for the
future alone, not desiring the goods
of this world, but longing to depart
and be with Christ. Her bible was
her daily guide, and when too i'll
to read she would call her friends
to read it for her. Her health
through the past winter had been
comparatively better than for yeals
but suddenly she became ill and
after intense suffering for twenty
eight hours she fell asleep in Jesus.
Just before her departure when
asked by members of her home if
all was peace she said yes, and it
was not as hard to die as she had
thought. Just before her illness
she spoke of her faith in her Savior
and said it was only through His
loving kindness she had been spared
so long. She leaves four sons and
three daughters to mourn her death,
namely, Thomas and Scott Hahn,
Of Good Intent, Pa; George Hahn,
of Pattan, Ala; Isaiah Hahn, Mrs.
V. B. Wensell, who has cared for
her through her years of suffering,
Mrs. Lydia Polan and Miss Sarah
Hahn.

Physicians Must Register.

A law passed by the Legislature
at its late session provides that they
shall be registered by the first day of
July.
The law in question says that any
person who shall practice medicine
or surgery in Maryland after the
date named without being regis
tered in the manner prescribed shall
be fined not less than SO nor more
than $500 for each offense. 1t
amends the law passed in 1892,
which provided for the licensing of
applicants to practice medicine and
surgery after they had passed an ex-
animation before board of medi-
cal examiners. This feature is re-
tanned in the new law. which pro-
vides, in addition, for the registra-
ton of physicians and surgeons
practicing before June /, 1892.
Commissioned surgeons of the
United States army, navy or ma
rine hospital service, physicians and
surgeons in actual consultation
from other states, persons temper
arily practicing under the supervls-
ion Of medical perceptor or rend-
ering gratuitous services in an emer-
gency and midwives are exempted
from the provisions of the law.
Physicians and surgeons Of the
State are required to be registered
in the Circuit Courts Of their respec-
tive counties. Those who were ad-
mitted to practice since June l,
1892, are required to file with the
clerk Of the court a license from
one Of the medical boards of the
State. Those who were practicing
prior to that date may be registered
upon making affidavit to that effect
in their application for registration.
The names are recorded in a book
kept for that purpose.

Death of an Old and Highly Es-
teemed Citizen

lSSIIGN AilLGSn.
The Angel of Death visited Oak
land on last Friday afternoon at
4.40 o'clock and called hence the
soul of one Of Oakland oldest and
greatest esteemed citizens, MIR. John
George Miller.
Mr.. Miller was born in York, Pa.
on April 9th, 1913, and was there
fore in the eighty-second year of
his age. His father was born Feb
rGary Sd, 1773, and his mother
January goth, 1880. His parents
were married on Christmas dav of
.1796, and were very prominent
people in their day. From this
union there sprung twelve children,
the subject of this sketch being the
eighth. Mr.. Miller went from
York, Pa, to Frostburg in 1851,
where he married Miss Susan Offutt,
sister to Mr.. D. E. Offutt, Of Oak
land, on December oath, 1856.
After mis- marriage he continued to
reside at Frostburg with the ex-
ception of about two years) until
1887, when he and his family came
to Oakland. At the curly age of
twenty-one years Mr.. Miller was
converted and became ssnp6aeber of
the Methodist Episcopal church,
which membership he retained
until his death, period extending
over sixty years. During his res
idence at Frostbury he was an
active member of the church but IN
later years was unable to give that
attention to his church he desired
on account Of bodily Ills. AS a
Christian gentleman he was par
excellence and as acitizen was faith.
full to every obligation. BY the
death of this venerable man Oak
land loses one of her best citizens,
his family an IGNORED husband
and father and his church devout
member.
The esteem IN which Mr.. Miller
was held by the people Of Oakland
was attested by the throng which
gathered at St. Paul's church on
Sunday to pay last tribute to his
memory.
The text of the sermon delivered
by the Rev. Geo. W. Kepler was
BLESSED are the dead who die in the
Lord. In the courseof Rev. Kepler's
remarks he paid glowing tribute to
the virtues Of the deceased. He
was assisted in the services by Revs.
DR.. Alexander and John NJ. Davis.
The Interment occurred in Odd
Fellows cemetary. The pail bear
ers were Col. A. &. Sturgiss, Capt.
john NJ. Jarboe, DR.. Z. II. Bartlett,
Messrs. Scott 7. Jones, S. L. Town
shend and Thomas j. Peddcord.
The casket was literally covered
with floral offerings, all of which
were very handsome.

was the true boundary line between
the States. And ever since the
passage of the acts of 1852 by the
Maryland Legislature has there
been any claim put toward by or on
behalf of said State that the mer-
idian of the South Branch was the
boundary line or that any other line
was the true boundary except the
Michler line, until the bill was filed
in this suit by the attorney general
of MARYLAND.
