Mn GIpPERICH DIES SUDDENLY.
Hurled His wife Last Tuesday ana
Quickly Follows Her to the Grave.

Mr. Adolph Gipperich, the well-known
jewelIer, died suddenly yesterday morn
ing shortly after o'clock at his home,
No $40 Mosby street. Heart trouble was
the immediate cause, though this, 1t Is
thought. was superinduced by grief oc-
casioned bv the loss of his wife, who died
last Monday.
Mr.. Gipperich arose yesterday morn
ing at his accustomed hour and after
dressing himself walked about the house
for some little time. He was then APP
parently in excellent health, but quite
suddenly he was stricken down and in
less than ten minutes, Notwithstanding
that the usual restoratives were applied,
he breathed his last.
Mr.. Gipperich was in his 7Sd year. He
was one of this city's most respected
citizens and leaves a family of nearly
half a score of children. He was mem
Der of the Gesangverein Virginia, and
other German organizations.
He also held membership in st. Johns
German Evangelical Lutheran church,
and from this sanctuary his funeral Will
take place tomorrow afternoon at $3.50
o'clock. The pall-bearers will be:
Honorary--W. II. Zimmermann August
Pohlig, c. Wendlinger, Adam Schmidt,
and w. a. Brown.
Active-Charles Euker, c. A. Hening-
hausen c. A. Peple, Charles Droste, W.
r. Heinrich. G. A. Thilow, Jacob Wolff,
and C. 7. Loehr.
Mr.. Gipperich had been associated with
the tewelry business here for nearly
half century. He was with the old and
yidelv-knoUn firm of Mitchell az Tyler
and it's successors for many, many years,
and had more recently been in business
for himself, on Main street. near Eighth.
Mr.. Gipperich was an experienced watch
maker and skilled workman.
Al eII-Known TObaCconist Dead.
Mr.. James II. Mason. prominent among
the tobacconists of Richmond and in
FIuvanna county, died at the residence
of his daughter, Mrs. George A. Parsley,
No. 1909 west Main street, last night, at
10 o'clock.
Mr.. Mason was born in Hanover
seventy-three years ago. and while quite
a youth came to this city and went into
the tobacco business. BY prompt atten-
ton to his duties he was gradually pro-
noted until he held the position of man
ager of the r. ]. Christian Tobacco
Company. This position Mr. Mason held
for a number of years, until the concern
went out OF business.
About four years ago he entered the
tobacco business at Fork Union, in Flu
vana county, and was very successful in
this place. until about three months ago,
bad health forced him to return TO this
city.
Mr. Mason suffered very little pain. but
a general breaking down caused his death.
He leaves a wife, who was Miss
Thomas of Fluvanna. and seven children.
whosesnames are: Mrs George A. Pars-
ley, Miss Mary Mason, Mrs c. c. Tun-
stall, of New Kent and Messrs. Henry
c., w. o., Frank H., and Oscar V.
Mason.

WAS supposed to be ncurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it 10 be a

edes, and by constantly failing TO cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incu-
rable. Science has proven catarrh 10 be a
constitutional disease. and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls

The Biggest Wheat Crop on Record.
Good Reports From All Sections.

CHICAGO, August S-The Post to-day
says:
According to reports received by rail-
way companies and business men, the
largest wheat crop in the history of the
United States will be harvested within a
fortnight. The winter wheat yield, which
aggregates from 3s5,O00,0o0 to 400, 600 900
bushels, will be increased to the extent
of nearly 35000O.GO0 bushels from the
spring wheat region. The bumper CROP
of 1891 will be eclipsed this year, by
100 ,OG0 bushels from present indica-
lions. Reports received from the men,
bers of the National Association of Mer-
chants ard Travellers, who are assembling
here to-day, to attend the fall meeting
afford positive proof, it is declared, that
a new era of prosperity is at hand
throughout the great west. Railroad off,
Gals who have just come in from ex-
tended trips through the spring wheat
and corn growing States, make equally
optimistic reports State crop reports re-
ceived to-day from Kansas and Michigan
say: "A bumper crop is here and the
Pearson-Taft Land Credit Company,
which holds 5000 COO worth of farm mort
cages in the west, has but $1,000 worth
of property under foreclosure.

Miss Emma Arnold. the beautiful girl
who kissed Lieutenant Hobson. now
wishes she hadn't, for she is the OBJ
served of all observers and finds it very
embarrassing to be pointed cut as ''the
girl Hobson kissed" She explains that
she merely kissed the hero on the spur
OF the moment. The witnesses, how
ever, declare she kissed him fair under
the moustache However this may be,
Miss Arnold pleads that she only kissed
the deed through the doer. ''Mr. Hob
son will never kiss me again." she re-
marked with decision. 1t is probably
just as well to stop this thing of kiss
ing Hobson at the start, else there's no
telling where it will end and Mr.. Hob
son might be driven to wearing in pub
lie a mask like that of the base ball
catchers.

and wearied delicate fingers making
dainty night gowns for the big, husky
fellows at the front But it is a fit warn
ing for the thousands of loving women
who want to "do something" for the
boys in blue, whose night is turned in
to day and day irto night according
to the demands of battle or bivouac,
and whose best friend is a rifle, that
their wants are limited largely to that
rifle in good condition and plenty of
grub.

UNQUALIFIED WICK EDNESS.

From Our Animal Friends.
One of the most interesting friends of
our society wrote from a bed of serious
illness to Gen. Wheeler, begging him to
insist on kind treatment to the poor
horses which are made involuntary par
ties to the bloody conquests of men, and
particularly urging him to give orders
that badly woundned horses shall be mer
cifully killed. We are glad to be per-
mitted to print his reply:
Headquarters Cavalry Division, United
States Army
Tampa Fla, June I. 1898.
My Dear Madam appreciate and
commend your noble efforts 1 have an
officer now under arrest for having a
horse beaten. A noble animal, whose
sole effort seems to be to learn the wishes
of his master and promptly obey, should
be treated with the utmost kindness.
Cruelty to a horse is unqualified wicked
ness.
With very high regards, your obedient
servant and friend
JOS WHEELER.
