Hummer II. Cox, young man
whose home is at Shelton, was taken
i'll Monday while working in Simp.
sons logging camp. He rapidly grew
worse, and Wednesday morning was
brought to this city for medical treat
ment. But the disease, pronounced
to be spinal meningitis, had obtained
too strong a hold upon his constitution
and he died at noon yesterday. The
funeral rites were held to-day.
Miss Lily Sutherland one of the
young ladies connected with the Boy
Wanted" company, which performed
ut Olympia Theater, Wednesday night,
enjoys the distinguished honor of
having been n member of the party
that went down in the government
boat Plunger which made her trial
trip last December, at Baltimore, in
the Chesapeake bay. The boat was
submerged about twenty minutes, but
it seemed like an age to at least one
OF the party.
Correspondents of the local papers
will confer favor by being little
more explicit when censuring a hand
some Olympia editor" for alleged acts
of improperly, SO as to fix identity
upon the proper individual. When
there are SO many newspapers" and
so many handsome quill-drivers in
this FOOLS Paradise" it is unfair to
place burden upon the shoulders OF
the innocent, or to compel anybody
to bear any part of load that does
not belong to him.
The w. c. 7. U. of this city are ex-
pecting a visit from two well.known
and talented ladies, Mrs. Isabel Wing
Lake and DR.. c. Gieset, of the national
reform work. The exact date of their
visit is yet undetermined and will be
announced later. They come to us as
consecrated workers, and being bright,
winning and able speakers they will
no doubt meet with cordial welcome
and command respectful considera.
ton of the subject to which they are
devoting their best efforts.
One of the young ladies of the
Boy Wanted" company, whose name
on the programme is Lizzie Melrose
is an enthusiastic patriot and she has
cause to be. She has a brother on
the U. S. warship Indiana, who fills
the position of master at arms, and
who when that vessel captured the
Panama, n few days ago, was detailed
rs one of the prize crew to sail the
ship into port. The brothers name
is John ID. Rockefeller, and he is a
nephew of the coal-oil magnate.
G. NJ. Schilling, the world-renowned
Splinter, passed through this city on
one of his periodical trips around the
world, yesterday. He claims to have
walked $4,000 miles in the past two
years. Mr.. s. is engaged in winning a
wager. He left New York in August
1879, and is to return in the same
month, 1901, during which trip he is
not to spend cent or beg and must
have 5000 on his return, to win. He
is a splendid specimen of athletic,
strength, notwithstanding the loss Of
an arm.
st. Johns Messenger is the title of a
neat little monthly paper issued by
st. Johns Brotherhood, and edited by
the rector of the Episcopal church,
Rev. Henry l.. Badger. The Brother
hood is new auxiliary organization
to the church, composed as the name
indicates, of men, who it says care not
ashamed to manifest an interest in
Christianity" They hold fortnightly
meetings, and start out with pros
pect of accomplishing much good.
The paper is devoted almost exclusive
ly to church matters, and is distrib-
uted gratitutiously in all families con-
nected with the parish and Sunday
School of st. Johns church. Its
means of existence is derived entirely
from its advertising patronage.
