DIR. z. X. BROWN.
A Tribute From Nuluth, Mimi.
PAPER,
Duluth News Tribune

DIR. 4. X. Brown, of Virginia City
one Of the most prominent physicians
in the county, died at St. Mary's hos
pital yesterday afternoon, February ?,
after a sickness extending over per
iod Of sixteen weeks, due to abcess of
the liver.
Dr. Brown was born in Virginia in
1861, and was the second son of Major
j. J. Brown, of Morgantown, West
Virginia, well known figure in local
and banking circles in that state.
The doctor was brother of Captain
Robert L. Brown. of the United Stat
es army, now stationed as quarter
master at Cincinnati, and who was
with him at the time Of his death.
He was also a nephew of Brigadier
General Ludington, quartermaster
general OF the United States army.
DR.. Brown was educated at the
University of West Virginia, from
which he received the degree of M. A.
His medical education was acquired
at the Jefferson school in Philadel-
phia from which he graduated in
1885, In 1893 the doctor came to
Minnesota, locating at Virginia,
where he rapidly built up one of the
largest and most lucrative practices
on the Mesaba range. He was highly
intellectual and cultured and was very
popular with all classes.
The doctor had not been well since
last July, when he had long siege
ofstyphoid fever, which also infected
his liver as to cause an abcess. He
was successfully operated upon, how
ever, by Dr. Maggie, and although re-
covering from the abcess, persisted
from exhaustion after struggle of
sixteen weeks in ST. Mary's hospital.
DR.. Brown leaves a wife and three
children, the oldest of which is six
years of age and the youngest two.
Short services will be held IN St.
Mary's hospital this morning at II
o'clock, and in the evening the re-
mains will be taken to his old home
at Morgantown, w. Va, by Captain
Brown and his youngest brother,
j, NJ. G. Brown.

The Three Cent Piece.

A bill has been passed BY Con-
gress providing for the coinage Of the
three cent piece, which was discon-
tinued by an act of September 26.
1890. To remove the objection at
-tached to the old coin, viz; ease for
installing it for dime, the coin ii
to be unique 1t has to be made out
of nickle, of the size Of the bronze
cent although thicker. In the cen
ter is to be hole, one-fourth OF an
inch in diameter. This will make
the COIN easily distinguishable by
sight or touch.
