Yesterday morning, shortly after Z

ing's oldest citizen, was found dead in
bed, ut his home, No. 81 Thirteenth
street. His demise at this time was
entirely unexpected. Only the evening
before he had chatted pleasantly for
an hour and half with his daughter,
Mrs. Emily Boyd, and with the latter's
daughter. For some time he has been
somewhat indlsposcd. and was confined
indoors by fever that was not consdl-
cred a serious ailment. He retired
Sunday night at the usual hour. At
6 o'cfock yesterday morning, Mrs. Boyd

ily. and lying on one side. Shortly

his room. and found Mr.. Botsford lying
on his back. dead. The sad event was

the wagons Of the recently completed
National road and the boats of the Ohio
river. He has lived to see some notable
changes since he first landed. including
number OF vicissitudes for better and
worse. The Wheeling OF 1899 Is wholly

second turn Montcjo's destruction was
apparent. and the flames on his tubs
were getting beyond control. When
Dewey saw certain victory he drew his
ships of, while his men were refreshed
with sardines and hard tack. After
they returned to work there was little
to do. for the Spanish fleet was about
helpless, and became easy prey. The
torpedo boat Petrol demanded Monte
JOS surrender, which was received
forthwith.
Ensign Doddridge further stated that
the Asiatic squadron was not composed
of as fine vessels as the Atlantic. but
was superior TO the Spanish, although
the latter had more men TO Il vessel.

Remedy for Cuts.

One fall several of my horses, being
full Of life and energy, took swift
run dowL wire fence, two abreast.
One next to the wire fence, becoming
crowded, plunged into the wire fence
at full speed, lacerating her fore legs
badly above the knee. The wound
was about seven inches across and
four inches deep. Neighbors pro-
nounced it incurable. or, if cured, that
the animal would be stiff and useless.
But I brought her out, so that the
scar was scarcely visible, by applying
the ashes of burned leather of any
kind, wherever the wound was worst.
The leather should first be soaked in
coal oil, then placed in a kettle and
ignited. The ashes are the cure. A
brother cured bad cut on a horse
with this remedy, and I know of many
other cases where it succeeded to the
entire satisfaction of the user. It is
simple and has not big name; but it
does the work. That is all care for.

Gated to my beloved husband Charlie
ton Hines Strickland. who entered

twepty-third by his ever devoted
wife, Teresa Hammond Strickland:
A MEMORY.
O, the sweet old Southern garden,
With its pillows OF perfume.
o, the bees and birds and sunshine,
When the fruit trees were in bloom.
Where the sloping, lawn-like velvet,
Gemmed with stars Of JonIuils sweet
And the purple OF tho tomb vine.
Spread carpet for my feet.
And the stately white lag lilies,
With the leaves of silver sheen.
Waved like flags Of truce for lovers
From the banks Of vivid green.
0, beloved | remember
With prayer that sacred bush,
With its trailing vines of roses,
That We called tho maiden's blush.
How you tWinod II crown of llowers,
Tied with bits of grasses green,
And you crowned me, then down kneel-
ing
You proclaimed me your heart queen
Never knight more true and loyal
knott before his lady feet,
Than were you. my fair faced lover,
In those childhood days 40 sweet
And we sat beneath the rose vines,
Who're the fragrant petals fell
There we'd build our fairy castles,
There our vows Of love we'd tell.
Every nook within the garden,
Where each bud and blossom grew,
Where the birds their nests were build.
ing.
o, beloved we'll we knew.
All. dear God. we then were happy,
And we thought for e'er to be;
But the years have passed, and sorrow
Leaves me only memory.
All things pass and fade. my darling;
Now the trees are dead and gone:
Now the weeds grow in the garden,
That Ia Of oil beauty shorn.
Alb, the echoes of past pleasures
Haunt each dear familiar spot
Like sad spirits ever weeping,
That will never be forgot.
You have passed away, beloved,
just as life had reached it's noon,
And upon our path of brightness,
Came the sunset, far too soon.
But know that on some planet,
Brighter, sweeter far than this,
I shall find you, best beloved,
And we'll drink our cup of bliss!
