"DEAR Mrs. PINKuAM:--It is with
pleasure that I write to you of the

Mrs. William r. Lewis, of 335 Thir-
teenth street. was found dead in bed
Saturday morning about $50 o'clock.
She retired as usual the evening be-
fore in the best of spirits. The start
ling discovery was made by the de-
ceased's mother, Mrs. Beniamin
Humphrey. after being notified b> the
dead womans children that Mamma
was cold and would not wake up and
talk to them"
Mrs. Humphrey resides at 326 Thir-
teenth street. She is completely pros
trated by the shock ana is unable to
tell what time it was when the chill
dren came over to her. 1t must have
been shortly after six o'clock. for her
two sons had just LETT the house t.
go to work.
For some time after the awful dis
co"ery the grandmother was utter'y
unable to do anything or call any
one. Later, however she managel to
get out of the house and call neigh
Dor. Mr.. Humphrey was called and
DR.. G. B. Beach sent for. He stated
the woman was beyond help and had
been dead probably seven hours. Cor
oner Longstreet and Funeral Direc-
tor Tague were then notified
Coroner Longstreet conducted a post
mortem and was assisted by DR.. G.
b. Reynolds. DR.. C. w. Treverton, DR..
j. j. Robert and DIR. j. MeKeage.
The unanimuos verdict was that dea ii
was due to dilation of the heart ow-
ing to weak walls, and this malady
was superinduced by an abnormal
condition of other vital organs. No
pain was experienced, simply fut-
tering of the heart and then cessa ton.
A sad circumstance connected with
the case was the absence of the hus-
band over night on business. He re-
turned just after the discovery of the
death was made. He left home in the
afternoon and his wife was then busy
with her household duties. She bade
him good luck and seemed happy. Her
mother-in-law, Mrs. Hannah Lewis of
Hampton street spent a few hours in
the early evening and left for her
home about $50 o'clock. The deceased
then went over to her mothers and
looked after some household work
there, her mother not being well. She
and the children returned home about
$50 o'clock and retired. The young
est slept with her mother and the
other two girls sleep in a smaller led
in the same room.
The three girls arose about $50
o'clock and after dressing themselves
tried to wake mamma" Their efforts
were vain and then the eldest, May
went over for her grandmother. The
deceased had not been perfectly well
for several days and was being attend
ed by DIR. c. w. Treverton. She was,
however able to do her usual work
about the house and was happy. She
even remarked Friday evening that she
was feeling first rate" then.
Mrs. Lewis was born here Septem-
Der s, 1871, and was twenty-sever years
Of age. She was we'll known and high
ly respected. She was an active men,
Der of the Scranton street Baptist
church. The husband and three girls,
May, years. Emma, years; and
Bertha, years; survive her. The fun
elal will be held Tuesday afternoon
at o'clock. Services will be conduct
ed at the Scranton street Baptist
church and interment will be made at
:he Washburn street cemetery.

Ger outpitched Egan and the Saints
did better fielding than the Blues to-
day. The game was in many respects
a most peculiar one. A light rain fell
during the morning and continued I'M
til l o'clock. Even then the sky did
not clear up, but heavy clouds hung
over the city for the remainder of the
day.
The game was played in semi-dark-
ness, and the shouts of the spectators
who had braYed the weather were
supplemented by almost continuous
noise of thunder. Under such condi-
lions perfect fielding was impossible,
but the Saints gave much better ex-
hibition than did the Blues. Although
the Saints punched three hits in the
fifth, two in the sixth and seventh,
and four in the eighth. the frequent
errors by Manning's men kept them
from earning their runs.
Singles by Miller, Geier and Shu-
CART and an error by Connaughton gave
the Saints three in the fifth. A double
by Burke, base on balls to Miller.
an error by Frisbee and a single by
GlasscocB produced a pair of runs in
the sixth. Five were added in the
eighth on singles by Miller, Spies and
Burke, a double by Glasscock, a wild
pitch, base on balls, and errors by
Frisbee, Connaughton and VioX
DenZsr was practically untouched
save in the sixth, when singles by
O'Hagan and VioX and a two-bagger
by Williams and errors by Glen
