DISTINGUISHED DOCTOR,
NATIVE OF DOVER, DEAD.
Career of a Brilliant Man Who Be
came a Scientist and Authority
onCholera.

DR.. E. o. Shakespeare, well-known as
scientist and as AN eminent authori-
| ty on cholera, died suddenly Saturday
morning in his apartments in the Hotel
Walton, where, with his wife, he had
been stopping since Wednesday. DR..
Shakespeare was with his barber when
he was stricken. The rlan called help,
but, before it arrived, DIR. Shakespeare
had died. Death is attributed ito a
heart affection, with which DR.. Shakes
peare had suffered for some time.
Only ten minutes before her hus-
bands death Mrs. Shakespeare who,
believed him to be in good health, had
started for their home at Rosemont.
When she arrived there, she found a
telegram notifying her that Dr.Shakes-
peare was dead.
Besides his widow, DIR. Shakespeare
is survived by two sons. The arrange
ments for the funeral were made by G.
E. Baird "a brother of Mrs. Shakespeare.
Although he was only 54 years old,
DIR. Shakespeare had attained a very
high position in the medical world. On
more than one occasion he was chosen
by the Government to take charge of
| important investigations, and he each
time fulfilled his duties with a high
measure of success
Dover, Delaware, was Dr. Shakes
Ipeare's birthplace, and his preliminary
education was received in a classical
academy in this town. In 1867 he
graduated from Dickinson College with
the degree of B. A., and then he took
two-years' course in medicine at the
University of Pennsylvania. He next
turned to his native town, where he
not only built up a prosperous practice
but took an interest in the political
welfare of his State
He soon found, however, that Phila-
delphia offered greater opportunities
SO he came here, giving UP the office of
Secretary of the Delaware Senate.
In Philadelphia DIR. Shakespeare
quickly forged to the front First he
became assistant in the University of
Pennsylvania Eye Clinic, then lectured
ON operative surgery in the medical
department while acquiring a very
large practice.
In 1885 President Cleveland commits
stoned Or. Shakespeare to investigate
the causes and condition incident to
the Asiatic cholera's spread in India
and Europe. He was the first investi-
gator, and after spending a year at the
work he returned to this country with
a report which proved of great use to
physicians throughout the United
States.

that Taylor refused to divulge any of
THE particulars.
Several persons heard pistol shots
and later found Taylor lying uncon-
scious by the roadside with wound in
his stomach. 1t is rumored that the
shooting occurred during a game OF
crap, but nothing definite can be
learned. Taylor is reported to be in a
critical condition.

Found His Long-Lost Brother.

The funeral procession was halted
yesterday afternoon after entering the

Miles Golden, of Utica, N. Y. He was
the brother of the mysterious man who

kindly, and ordered the casket opened,
when there was one of the most touch
ing scenes ever witnessed in a Della

sobbed the broken-hearted man. "Poor
poor Jim, why did you leave us?" Then
turning to the priest, Mr.. Golden said
that his brother, 29 years old, left home
five years ago and nearly broke their
, hearts. Month after months passed
and mo tidings came of him. He was
doubtless travelling over the country
under the name of Ryan. Then came
the awful news of Sunday, and the
identification by the scar.
Mr.. Golden was almost overcome by
the kindness of the Holy Cross parish
oners, and said he had often heard OF
true Christianity and had yesterday
seen 1t exemplified. He expected to
see his brother buried in Potter's field.
SO overwhelmed was he by the Dover
peoples kindness THAT he allowed the

Burial of Wreck Victim.

James Golden, who was killed, was
railroad wreck here ON Saturday, was
buried from Holy Cross Catholic
Church yesterday, and the funeral was
one of the most touching incidents
ever seen here. Golden, who is said to
be a college-bred man, was stealing a
ride as an ordinary tramp, when the
collision occurred which threw him un-
der the wreckage. He died few min
utes after being dug out of the debris
Father T. F. Waldron, who conducted
the services, spoke impressively of the
deceased and said in part: 'None of
us know how Or when we shall die, and
this young man, a few years ago, when
absorbed in his studies and with life
all radiant before him, would have
stood aghast at the thought of meeting
death under freight car. But the
manner and time of his death rested
alone with his Lord, and how this
stands before us as a lesson to-day 10
be steadfast in our faith, never once
losing sight of the promise of Him
who died for u.s." Prominent people
of the town contributed money in order
that the man might have a Christian
burial and several emblems Were do
mated by florists of the town. A pitt
able incident of the funeral was the ap-

Pretoria, capital of the South Afri-
can republic, Is a charming little town
set inside circle OF formidable forts.
So strong are its defenses that not
even the most optimistic British gem
eral would have hoped for n speedy
capture II the Beers had desired to
make their last stand within 1t. That
II should be surrendered without siege
and without fighting Is as pleasant n
bit of news as Britain could receive.
Pretoria is n historic spot for the Boer.
Its name is a modification OF that of
Pretorias, the sturdy Dutchman who
led his countrymen In their last trek"
to the country beyond the River Vaal.
1t occupies n large, uneven valley
everywhere surrounded by low, grassy
hills, and the mass OF green foliage
within ii renders Its appearance very
attractive and in great contrast to the
barrenness OF Johannesburg. The size
of Pretoria Is only n quarter that of
Johannesburg. however, and 1t has
nothing of the commercial Importance

PRETORIA AND JOHANNESBURG.

nesburg has sprung up with that tre-
mendous rapidity which Americans
know so well in the history of their
own gold and silver districts. AS
consequence of the Importance OF the
town from n purely monetary stand
point, 1t was natural that the Beers
should have used much cash and in
genuity in fortifying the place. but at
the crucial moment they have aban-
doned IT, The principal fort is
mighty piece OF military engineering
and has been held by the Beers to be
practically impregnable. On this for
tlncation searchlights of great power
were mounted to guard against any
surprise in the night. The aurlferous
tract of country Of which Johannes
burg stands MS the center is known as
the Witwatersrand. This range Is
about 5000 feet above sea level, The
city, at the last census In 1896, had
population OF 100000 within n three
mile radius. The population was about
equally divided between whites ani
