Annapolis. Md, Jan. 26.-Mrs. Mary NJ

Nun who made a dying deposition to
Notary Public John r Magruder, Of An

Church, died yesterday at the residence of
her brother, on West street. She had been

The Interesting Letter Writer.

The number Of people who can-and do
write interesting letters is growing smaller
and smaller every year. If the art is not "A
lost one now it viii probably be So in 4
few years time. The cheaper rates and
increased speed Of travelling have as much
to do with the change as the system OF
postage. 1t is far easier now than in the
mail coach days for friends-even II living
far apart-to seeeaCh other often, and that
being so. the necessity for long, chatty
epistles is not so great Letter writing

So deadly was the disease that the per-

The surgeon general has an interest

which was sent TO lnu by Prof. KitaSatO.
OF Toxic. Yunnan, in Eastern China, is
the ancient home Of the plague, and it re-
ours there with alarming frequency and
very fatal results. In 1894 it spread 10

Prof. KitasatO says in his report.

Important word money has provoked an
Antipodean paper to express the opinion
that domestic bliss is insured by the pos
session of good bankers account. This
unromantic opinion is hardly worth con-
tradicting, and yet one hardly likes to
allow young folks to read such assertions
without correction. There is something
positively appalling in, the idea that girls
should really believe that nothing but
leash buys comfort" and that mere COM
fort is invariably synonymous with hap
piness. And it is not true that rich, we'll
dressed, well-fed people lead the hap
piest lives together, as the an
mails of the divorce court prove. The
married couples who do live together most
happily are often those who have TO
struggle along as best they can ON in
aequate incomes, and are never so idle
as to get into mischief or become tliscon-
tented.

A PRETTY SKY PICTURE.
Electric Illumination of the New
Printing Office Tower.

There was a new constellation in the
heavens last night, very near the Govern
ment Printing Office, which attracted
picture, plainly visible in all portions of
the city. The new constellation consisted
of a bright circle of dazzling lights, which
twinklcd pieturesquely in the crisp, icy
atmosphere. Persons who did not know
from whence proceeded this aerial illu-
mination supposed that the inaugural SOM
mittee were experimenting for the night
display on March 4, but such was not the
case. Others thought it was a new plan
etary system.
The Evening Times reporter who was
attracted by the bright circle of flame,
as the wise men OF yore were attracted
by the Star OF Bethlehem, investigated,
and found that last night, for the first
time, Public Printer Benedict had ordered
his electrician to touch off the beacon
lights which he d just been com pletedaround
the top OF the recently erected gigantic
smokestack, which ascends skyward from
the boiler house of Uncle Sans big print
shop.
The new stack is constructed OF heavy
sheetiron. 1t is 90 feet high, and painted
a bright red. The top ledge projects some
distance out wardly, forming sort Of
portico roof, beneath which are about
fifty incandescent electric lights, arranged
at short intervals around the circumference
OF the high chimney. The lights are
reached by an iron ladder extending up
the stack to its top, and terminating at an
iron platform, inclosed by ratings Of the
same metal. The sight with the electric
lights ablaze was pretty one. 1t will be
witnessed again tonight.

Roman blue, a superb dark shade of color
now popular abroad is making its way
among leading colors on this side the water.
A few costumes of this handsome and most
becoming color have appeared among costly

trimmed with sable or mink or chinchilla
fur, and in the array of costly dinner and re-

Care of Patent Leather.

Patent leather shoes require to look
well. They should be wiped with a damp
sponge and afterward with soft, dry
cloth, and occasionally with cloth
dampencd with a little sweet Oil. Blacken
and polish the edges OF the soles in the
usual way, but do not cover the patent
leather with the backing. A cloth mois-
tened in a little milk may be used on
patent leather with GOOD effect.

THE NEW WAVE.
Physical Culture, Pure Food ant
Drink Ma rks a New Era.


Drink Marks q New Era
A great popular pure drink and pure
food wave is just now passing over the
country, and seems to have come to stay.
More attention is being given to articles
or food and drink than heretofore, and peo-
pie are slowly learning that good health
cannot be preserved under the present
civilization unless the habits are of more
natural character. The apparently harm
less coffee habit now numbers its victims by
the thousands, producing obstinate stom-
ach and bowel troubles that will not
ahatc except by leaving off the habit.
II is not always an easy task to drop a
lifetime habit.
One OF the late discoveries is a pure food
coffee, made entirely of grains and pos
sessIng great fattening and noUrishing
properties, while il brews the exact deep
seal brown color of Mocha, and when cream
is added il takes the rich golden brown of
old Java. The taste is pungent and piQuant,
quite similar to coffee; in fact, so close
TO il in aroma and flavor that the coffee
drinker, who has had trouble with Coffee
will freely take on the new grain drink
when he discovers that it a agrces with him
perfectly, and its healthful properties
quickly dismiss his former ails.
The great feature OF this new and ra-
tlonal method OF dismiSsing sickness, is to
avoid drugging oneself and quit hurtful
habits, taking in only what is known to
be pure natural food such as the Creator
intended for mans subsistence.
DIR. Wesley A. Dunn, editor of Medical
Current Marshall Field Bldg, Chicago,
says: Il am highly pleased with it,
Nothing is more to the point than this
new food-drink made from grains. Itbears
the name OF Postum Cereal, ''and is made
10y the ostum Cereal Co., lim., Battle Greek,
Mich.
1t claims to be direct and quick pro-
iucer OF new blood corpuscles by the natural
method of good nourishing food taken in a
liquid form. 1t is quite a bit less ex-
pensive than coffee and altogether its use
appeals to ones common sense.
Beware of the fraudulent limitations of
the original Postum Cereal Grain coffee.
Insist on Postum.

Three Sizes of Buttons.

Nearly all the elegant buttons are now
shownin three distinct sizes designed for one
costume. Many of the smaller buttons are
veritable jewels in their artistic beauty of

like actual gems on low mountings of whit
ened silver, or pure gold or pearl. Jet,
plumb-colored euamel and bronze buttons
set in riveted points are all familiar styles
Some of the handsome jet and iridescent
cord passementeries have buttons to match
which are not intended to have any strain
upon them, but are merely used as decora-
tions all over the cloth or other costume.

He was clerk in dry goods store, and
her beauty and grace simply turned his head.
It was in Chicago dry goods store, which
is in its way unique, and the Chicago dry
goods clerk is creation indigenous to the
plant he serves. The 'fbooful' lady was
young, albeit she is matron, and as she
stood entranced before remnants of lace and
tried their different effects by spreading
the mesh over her i]y-white hand, he, poor
fellow, was entranced too
"Isn't it beautiful?" she asked, enthus;-
astically, as she laid another specimen over
the back of her small, plump fist.

wildered clerk, with an energy that ought
to have sold all the lace in the establish
ment, but which was lost on the object of it.

"No," answered the poor fellow, rushing

clerk is transferred to a department where
