Ten years ago John Dcarman married
Katherine Crispell, a well 70 do farmer o

shamefully. Five years ago she deter

MRS. Dearman heard nothing Of her
husband after he went away, but year
CT so later she read in a newspaper an
account Of the discovery Of the body of

held the post mortem and TO others who
had seen the body photograph of her
husband, and every one at once pro
nounced il that of the dead man.
Mrs. Dear1man had the body disin-
TERED in order that she might herself
see the face and make sure that IL was
her husband. She recognized the body
at once, and the further fact that the
dead man had two front teeth missing,

moved the body to her home and had 1t

The Morgan amendment to the
court bill has been favorably re-
ported by the senate committee
on Indian appropriations will
Doubtless pass that body. BY the
bill as amended 9 j Idi ary Of
Paris and Ft. Smith courts over
crimes committed in the Indian
Territory will be abolished and
three districts created out of the
Territory instead of two as was
the case in the bill recently pass
ed by the house. The only dan
ger is in the house, where it is
feared that an opposition equal
to it's defeat will be met. Let us
hope however that such will not
be the ease and that a sufficient
number of votes can be mustered
for its passage.

Mr.. l. E TGAGUE publishes
elsewhere an appeal for the suffer
ers of Kansas and Nebraska which
appears well enough on the sur
face. While no doubt the people
of these sections are in need of
help we should not allow ourselves
to lose sight Of thefact thatchari-
ty begins at home and that there
are many in ourOwn midst t. whom
We could turn our attention in be-
slowing it. Attend to their wants
first and then if there is anything
left it will in our opinion be time
enough to go beyond our own
doors in carrying out the biblical
injunction to feed the hungry and
elothe the naked. AS a rule the
people of Kansas and Nebraska
are pensioners on the govern
ment which amounts should be
used as a general fund for the al
deviation of want among the peo-
pie among whom they are disbur-
sed. If thiswas done there would
be no necessity for widespread
suffering among those people.

Advertising Frauds.

If our merchants and business men
would take the money they throw away
on advertising frauds who come to this
city on the pretext of getting up some
advertising schemes that isn't worth
the paper they are prin ed
on, and distribute that amount among
their home papers, they would not only
be benefitting themselves but this COM
munity. These follows make practice
of going from town to town getting up
some advertising scheme for their 0tcn
benefit at the expense of the merchants
and business men, every dollar of which
is carried out of the town with the ex-
ception of the paltry sum they pay the
printer-if they don't beat him out of
it-and they don't care farthing for
the advertiser after they get his money
If any of our merchants or business men
have advertising to do, they should do
it through their local papers which are
read by the people, who spend their
money with them, and not through some
advertising adventurer.

MRS. FRANK BROWN DEAD.
The Illness of the Governors Wife Ter
inmates Fatally.


Mrs. Frank Brown, wife of Governor
Brown, died this merning at 3. 40 o. clock
at the Hotel Rennert, Baltimore, after
an illness of three weeks, the result of a
complication of kidney and liver tron-
bles, aged thirty-eight years.
Though Mrs. Brown had been in ro-
bust health for several years, her condi-
tion did not become serious until about
two weeks ago, and last Monday it reach
ell critical stage. Her attending ply
sician was DIR. Howard III. Kelly, who
was assisted by Drs. William Osler and
Isaac +. Atkinson. They held con-
sultation ON Thursday afternoon and de-
cided that the case was mot without
hope, but yesterday even that slight
encouragement was abandoned, and it
became plain that death was a question
of only short time.
The Governor left his Office early in
the afternoon and went to his wifc's
bedside, where he remained until the
end came. With him was j. K. Beas-
man, of Carroll county, an old friend of
the family, who has known both the
Govern or and his wife since their child
hood. Mrs. Browns death was peace
ful. Though she had suffered much
during her illness the last few moments
of her life was free from pain. During
the evening and until very near the last
she was conscious and spoke occasionally
to her husband and her faithful maid
servant.
Governor Brown is prostrated with
grief. Both of his children, who are at
school, will be summoned home at once,
Miss MAY Brown being at Madame lie
Feyre's, Baltimore, and Master Frank
Brown at the Episcopal High School in
Alexander. Mrs. Browns maiden name
was Mary Ridgely, her father being Da-
vid Ridgely. She was twice married,
her first husband, whom she welded in
her twentieth year, having been the late
Horatio w. Preston, Of Boston. They
were married in the winter of 1877. He
was number of years her senior, and in
delegate heath. He died within a year,
| leaving her childless but with a large
| fortune. A year or so later she met
| Frank Brown, who had always been one
| of her admirers, and they were married
chrildren, the eldest being Miss May
Brown, who is about fourteen years OF
age, and the other Master Frank Brown,
| who is about twelve.
Mrs. Brown was especially popular
with the Naval Academy and st. John i
students. At all the hops and germans,
for which Annapolis is famous, Mrs.
Brown was always the central attrac-
tion. She was here, there and every
where, and was rbsolutely impartial in
the selection Of dance partners. To
this, as well as to her charming person
mel, was attributed so much of her popu-
larity.
The news of Mrs. Brown s death reach
ed Annapolis this morning and was not
generally known until the flag on the
dome of the State House WAS hoisted at
half-mast out of respect TO her memory.
