well known physician and prominent citi-
zen of this city for many years, died last
night at 12:45 o'clock at his home, No. 4G6
West Grace Street. He had been Ill for
two months past. but his condition was not
thought critical until within the East few
days.
DR.. Bright was native Of South Caro-
lima, and was born in 1886. His early edu-
cation was received in his native State.
He began the study of medicine at Jeffer-
son Medical College, Philadelphia. from
which he graduated in 1859, and later con-
tinued his studies in Paris. While he
ever cherished the old Palmetto State, the
home of his youth, he was truly devoted
to Virginia, the home of his adoption. He
enlisted in the beginning of the Civil War,
serving four years as assistant surgeon
under General Joseph f. Jonhston's COM
mand, in the Palmetto Battalion of Light
Artillery, which was organized in Charles
ton, S. c., the first year OF the war, and
during the time was stationed at Fort
Sumter and Suliivans Island. In 1867 he
married Miss Mary S. Davies. of Rich
mond, and two years later began his prac-
tee here. in which he has been most sue
cessful, and for a number of years he has
been recognized as among the most promi-
nent physicians in the city.
He is survived by his widow and five
children-AIrs. Burton Mountcastle, Will

actually needed, Mrs. Browning's wide
book-knowledge and subtlety of aliusion
making her less difficult but richly sugges-

many poems bearing upon Italian history,
in particular, are the more enjoyable for
the illumination of the notes, never before

publishers and editors to leave nothing I'M
done to make this the best edition thus
far published. The text is complete, and
contains the rare juvenile and scattered
poems not included in her later work by
Mrs. Browning, and usually not found in
collected editions. It-iacludes her prose
essays upon the poets, her translation
from the Greek. and. also. gives the rare
Psyche Apocalypte''Ssketch and the Ten
nyson and Carlyle appropriations not APP
pearing in any other edition. Digests are
given of 'sThe Drama Of Exile - Aurora
Leigh, and one or.r.two of the longer
poems. Beside the notes each volume con-
tains critical Introduction bearing upon
the work belonging ito hti1at volume. the

graphical introduction The lines are
numbered throughout. and the volumes
themselves are in every way delight.
Each contains beautifully engraved pho

signed title-page. The type has been Sc
lected with special reference to its legi-
bility, The paper is Opaque. and the cover
designs by Goodhue are especially appro-
pirate. The set is ellcased in neat cloth

Mabel Maitland, a prettys Southern, girl,
followed this act in a monologue OF negro

of Madame Hermann. which was fol-
lowed by McMahon and King, the black
