Edwin NJ. Brown, son of Freeman
W. Brown, of this county, died at
Tacoma, Sunday, from an illness con-
tracted while in service of his country
at the Philippines. Mr.. b. was native
OF this county and 90 years of age.
He enlisted in May, 1898, in the First
Washington Volunteers. He soon
began to show the effects of the
climate, and in July 1899, he was sent
to the hospital in Manila, where he
remained until his regiment came
home. He was in the ships hospital
on board, and the government hos
pital at the Presidio, Cal. In fact he
had not seen we'll day from the time
he was Frustrated by climatic condi-
tons and his weight fell from 2l9
pounds at the time OF enlistment, to
III pounds on his return to Tacoma.
He was buried in the cemetry near
that city Tuesday.
Oily suggests the idea of paying the
dredgc company reasonable conpen.
sation to place the mud pumped from
the channel on the site OF the old
time Long wharf, whose existence
is now only brought to memory by the
long rows of pile-stumps, extending
nearly mile into the bay. He thinks
that permanent causeway OF that
nature would makea splendid prone
made and bicycle path. The sugges-
ton is a good one, if the cost is mod
crate and the amount can be raised by
subscription, but it seems to us that
a much more serviceable use might be
made of the earth by filling Long
bridge to grade, and thus obviate
the heavy expense of plank renewal
and constant repairs. Whether the
municipality can devise any plan to
meet the expense is another ques-
ton. but all can see the importance
of providing a permanent thorough
fare with the Western part of town.
The singing of Charity Martin and
Ernesto Baldanza, at Olympia Thea
ter, Saturday night, was finished and
exquisite, although it was so high on
the shelf, in an artistic sense, that all
the audience did not appreciate it.
The pictures of the war were vivid
reminders OF the excitement and ac-
tivities Of the late war, but the piano
accompaniment did not meet public
expectation, through misapprehen-
sion OF the first announcements made.
1t was expected that an U. s. military
band would accompany Mr.. Brooks,
but it seems that the eminent leader
and composer, who manages the mus
ical portion of Old Glory relies upon
the professional bands in the large
cities, to supply that service. As the
music was new and difficult, and the
time for rehearsal short. the piano had
to be substituted here. The Capital
City Band rendered several numbers,
however, in excellent style, under the
baton of Mr.. Brooks, and were highly
applauded.
