The Death Record.

A telegram was received here Tues
day morning announcing the death at
her home in Washington Of Mrs. Char
lotte B. Johnson-a message that was
as unexpected as it was unwelcome.
Mrs. Johnson's death was very sudden
and caused by heart disease. She had
been suffering from heart trouble for
the past year or two, and had recently
obtained leave of absence from the
Postoffice Department to 60 abroad,
with hope that her health would be
benefited. She would have sailed tor
Europe on the st. Lonis the first week
in July, and had made all prepare
tons for the trip. Last week she
had an attack of heart trouble, but it
passed away and left no bad effects,
apparently. Early Tuesday morning
she had another attack, and awaking
her maid, hurriedly sent for her ply
siclan, DR.. Jones. He responded
promptly, but found Mrs. Johnson in
a state of collapse. She rallied under
stimulants and remained conscious for
some time. She met death bravely
and seemed to realize from the first the
attack would prove fatal. To her
physician she said she had no fears of
death that she had lived with chart
ty for all and was ready to 60 if it
was Gods will. 1t was sad, she said
lust before she died, that she had not
obtained employment for friend who
had sought her influence. Mrs. john
son was native of Shepherdstown,
and was daughter Of the late Hon.
A. R. Boteler, Of this place. Her
husband was George NJ. Johnson, Of
Baltimore, who died a number of
years ago. For many years Mrs.
Johnson was employed in the Post
Office Department at Washington.
She was woman Of many charming
traits of character and had wide cir
Gle of friends. Warm-hearted and
generous, ever ready to do kindness,
no trouble too great when 1t was IN
the service of her friends, she deserved
the place she had in the hearts Of her
acquaintance. Many persons from
this county and State are under OBJ
legations to her for assistance and en-
enlargement, for her knowledge Of pub
lie affairs and public men enabled her
to do many a good turn for her
friends. Her death will occasion wide
spread regret. Mrs, Johnson IS
survived by two sisters, Mrs. Helen
NJ. Pendleton, Of Sbepherdstown, and
Mrs. Angelica Didier, Of Baltimore.
Her age was about 50 years.
The Washington Star Of Tuesday
afternoon said There was many
heartache at the Postoffce Depart
ment this morning when the sad in
teIligence came. Everybody loved
Mrs. Johnson. She was the recog-
nized champion of the oppressed, the
leader in all charitable works. She
often said she lived to do good, and
those who knew her best realize that
her mission was well performed. From
the highest to the lowest in the big de-
partment came expressions of grief.
Yesterday she was bright and cheer
full. She closed the day with an ap'
peal for the promotion of fellow
clerk and left the world with the re-
greet that she had not accomplished her
purpose in this regard.
Mrs. Johnson will be buried in Bal
timore.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

Last Sunday at Bridgeton, n. j.,
while Rev. George J. Meredith was
preaching an eloquent sermon it was
noticed by his congregation that he
seemed disquieted at the screams Of a
child that came from the parsonage
adjoining the church. Finally he was
unable to continue his discourse and
ran into the parsonage, Just in time to
have his Youngest child die in his arms.
In the absence Of the father and the
family the baby somewhere had found
a package of arsenic, and had taken
sufficient to kill him in a short while.

Getting Ready for the Fair.

Mr.. ]. P. Kearfott, through whom
the negotiations for the purchase of
the Fountain Rock place from Mrs.
Johnson for the permanent home OF
the Morgan's Grove fair were conduct
ed, expects to receive the deed for the
property today or tomorrow. a few
DAYS before her death the papers ar
ranging for the transfer Of the prop
erty were made out and were signed
by Mrs. Johnson. The money was
sent on to the attorney yesterday, and
the matter may be regarded as con-
summated.
The next fair will be held on the
new grounds. A large force of men
has been put to work on the Fountain
Rock place and the Improvements will
be pushed rapidly. The underbrush
is being grubbed out, the rubbish re-
moved, the trees trimmed, the walls
repaired, and the naturally beautiful
place restored to its former loneliness.
The buildings will be moved from
Morgan's Grove as soon as the new
grounds have been cleared up. The
buildings will not be put in the Foun-
tain Rock lawn, but will be arranged
adjacent to it. The lawn will be re-
served for the use of the visitors ex-
clusively, according to present plans.
The directors have plans for extensive
permanent improvements to the new
home for the fair that if consummated
will make it one Of the most attrac-
tive spots in this part Of the country.

The dam across lue OOOAdC 44'CA
at the old cement mill below Shep-
herdstown is now almost entirely de-
stroved, and offers little obstruction to
the free passage of the water. AS a
consequence the water is very low
above the dam, and being considera-
bly below the level it had when the
railroad piers were built, the question
as to whether or not these piers will
remain safe is again sgitated. The
opinion is expressed that it would be
money in the pocket of the railroad
company to rebuild the dam and re-
store the water TO its former level.
