DIED OF A BROKEN HEART.
One OF the Few Authenticated Cases of
Fatal Heart Lesion From shock.

One OF the Few Authenticated Cases of
Fatal Heart Lesion From Shock.
Anna B. Clarke died of a broken
heart; actually and physically a broken
heart. She died suddenly in Chicago a
week ago Monday, and her remains
were taken TO her Cleveland home for
interment. From that city came the in
formation that a physician, examining
the body, asked if Miss Clarke had re-
Gently suffered any sudden and great
sorrow or q shock. He was told that she
had been informed that total blindness
was near and inevitable. The physician
said that there was a heart lesion, and
that one of the few authentic recorded
deaths from a heart broken by sorrow
was hers.
Probably no more pathetic story han
this of the death of Anna b. Clarke has
been recorded. AT least the facts are
pathetic, but it is hard to put such "a
burden OF pathos upon paper in a way
to make manifest the full weight Of the
trouble which wa a load upon the
heart Of a noble woman and which at
last caused a noble heart to break.
There is net a lawyers office III Chi
cage where Anna b. Clarke was not
known. She was an almost weekly Wis
ltor at the law offices in the big Office
buildings, coming and going SO quietly
that her presence was barely felt. For
many years this busy little III had
an office in the Methodist church block.
Her headquarters were there, but the
round of her duties kept her constantly
moving about, one Of the busiest factors
in a busy city's life. She sold law sta
~tionery, not peddling it, but taking or
ders for it from people who for years
had never known any other mean of
securing their supplies save by a word
to the little woman, who seemed to di-
vine just when a new supply was need
ed and who never for a III allow
ed one to wait for what was needful be-
You'd the allotted time.
Two weeks ago Miss Clarke went the
daily round of her duties, and then,
owing to some slight trouble, as she
supposed, with her eyesight, she visited
an oculist. He told her that the loss of
her sight might be the question of but "a
few hours. This was Saturday. Sunday
afternoon Miss Clarke returned to her
residence, 364 Ontario street, from a
walk. She entered the door, and some
one spoke to her. She turned and said:
Il hear your voice, but | cannot see
you
Her own voice was q bit broken, but
the significance of what she said was
felt by those about her. The next
morning she was dead.
"A heart lesion, caused by a sudden
shock of sorrow, was the cause," said
the physician. Chicago Times Herald.

j. W. BAILEY. OF California, and
Mr.. Bland, by Mr.. Terry, of Arkansas
On roll call the vote stood: Bailey, So;
McMillin, 80; Bland, %. The nomina-
ton was made unanimous and Mr..
Bailey was escorted to the hall and,
after thanking the caucus for the
honor, spoke briefly. Mr.. Bailey's view
of the correct democratic policy and
the one which he will urge his follow
ers to adopt as their own during the
extra session, is here defined by him
self:
The democrats have l2l representatives in
the present house, and there are besides 81 flu
sionists. silver republicans and populists, maxi
ing in all l53 members OF the opposition The
republicans have 20i. majority over all OF 81.
1t will be the purpose of the democrats, so far
q my voice and influence go in shaping their
TO the passage of q tariff bill, but insist upon
upon that measure. We want to go on record
as expressing the opinion that republican poll
cies and principles, as eXempliiied in the
proposed bill, are wrong and will not
bring about a return OF prosperity. II
our view be correct, then we will be
able TO go before the country two
years from now and be returned
to power II the republican view proves to be
the right one we may have to wait in the will
dsrness for yet another season We propose
TO make the challenge clear. SO that there can
be no doubt as to the issue.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-H. Clay
Evans, of Tennessee, has been rendered
tie position of commissioner of pen

is one of the most important in the

recognized as a leader among southern

eral years and in the Harrison admin
istration was first assistant post
master-general. Later he ran for
governor of Tennessee ON the repub-
lican ticket and the result was in doubt
for many weeks. He was considered
for some time not unlikely to be the
south's representative in Mr.. McKin-

the place to receive the appointment.

Pension Examining Surgeons Not UpdeF the
Civil Service Rule.
WAsHINeToN, March 12.-The civil
service protection has been removed
from pension examining surgeons
whose fees amount to $500 and less per
annum. Mr.. Francis issued the amend
ing order just before he went out Of
the interior department, but this is the
first publication of it. The corre-
spondence of congressman shows the
impression is universal among the
doctors that these appointments are
now protected by civil service. The
original order, issued seven or eight
weeks before the end of the Cleveland
administration, put all of the thousands
of examining surgeons under the civil
service law. The civil service commits
sion called the attention of the secre-
tary to the matter and insisted that the
order went too far.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, March 16.--Three
negroes, Jim Gilmore. Jim Miller and
Otis Miller, were taken from the sheriff
yesterday by so armed men, strung up
to trees and their bodies riddled with
bullets. The crime for which they
were lynched was the murder of John
Barefield, postmaster at Blue Springs,
and his assistant. John r. Turner, on
March 8. The murders were committed
for the purpose of robbery. Since that
time a posse has been on the track OF
the negroes, and they were captured
by the sheriff of Orange county. The
negroes had been fishing on Lake Locke
when the sheriff came across them.
They showed fight at first, but were
quickly overpowered and taken to
Orlando for safe keeping. The negroes
were identified as the murderers, taken
to the scene of their crime and
lynched. They implicated James Rich
ardson, colored, in the murders, and
he will probably be lynehed.
