FUNERAL OF MR. AsHE.
The Whole City Mourns the Death of its Lead
ing Architect.

The funeral Of Mr.. Thomas Martin
Ashe, whose death was announced I'D
these columns yesterday morning, Will
be held from Christ church this at
ternoon at o'clock. 1t will be con-
Quoted by Rev. NJ. NJ. Marshall, ID. d.,
who returned from Atlantic City yes
terday in response to a telegram sent
to him ON Tuesday night. The pail
bearers will be Messrs. c. F. MacRae,
John Howard. V. II. Boyden, Brown
Shepherd, F. c. Lamb, Joel Whitaker,
w. w. Vass. John West, w. \. Graz
ham, Jr., and Chas, Pearson.
Thomas Martin Ashe, third son of
Capt. Samuel A. Ashe, was born in
Raleigh on the 18th of February 1876.
He was named for his kinsman, the
venerable Dr. Thomas Martin of this
city. He was studious as a boy and
was prepared for college by Prof.
Hugh Morson. He entered the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College in
this city and graduated in the class of
1894. While in college he was mem
Der of the Leazar Literary Society and
the Sigma M fraternity. He stood
high in college, winning the respect
and regard of his teachers and as
sociates.
Mr.. Ashe devoted himself at college
to studying those branches that would
fit him to become an architect, and af-
forwards perfected himself in that
profession. Some years ago he formed
"a partnership with Mr.. Chas. Pearson
under the firm name of Pearson and
Acl Ito ticin ont in N q
and was rapidly rising to the front
rank. No young man in North Caro-
lima in so short a time made more
reputation, and the future held high
honors and large success for him. His
firm had planned and were to build
the new Wiley graded school in Raj
egh, they were the architects of the
handsome Carr building at the Uni
versity and other elegant public and
private buildings in the State. In pub
lie affairs, Mr.. Ashe took the inter-
est of a publicspirited and progress
sive young business man. and was
an active member of the Chamber of
Commerce.
On the 3Oth of November, 1898, Mr..
Ashe was happily married to Miss
Mamie Branch Jones, daughter of Mr..
Armistead Jones. 1t was an ideal
marriage. The tender sympathy of
the entire community goes out to the
lonely young wife in the affliction
that has darkened her life-all that
human sympathy could do to give
comfort and help has been extended
to her.
Mr.. Ashe was a member of Christ
church, an exemplary young man,
worthy of the honored name he bore.
The whole city mourns it's loss.

Bud Ledbetter and l. @. Couch

low Adair. EARLY IN the morning the
man offered buggy and horse for
sale at Couch's livery stable in this

outfit and telephoned Mr.. Ledbetter,
who did not arrive until the man had
gone. When overtaken the man had
a young woman in the buggy who
gave her name as Emma Williams,
and the man gave his name as George
Thompson. The sheriff from Lamar,
Mo-, arrived on the flyer this morning
and identified the outfit and took the
man back to Missouri. The horse
and buggy were stolen from hitch
rack on the street OF Lamar, and the

y There Is no police in juneau, the po-
lice function being in the hands Of
deputy United States marshals, and
there Is little disorder. Juneau has
q climate that is all cioud and fog
and mist and rain for about 1868 days
! IN the year.
All kinds Of hardy vegetables are
raised around the town, and one man
has a floral garden where roses and
other flowers flourish as the green
bay tree. Prices are quite reason
able. Good board may be had at from
five to six dollars week, and rooms
at from $40 to $50 month. Drinks
are 25 cents each, except beer, which
is is cents, and cigars are usually two
for quarter, but good FIVE cent ci-
gars are to be had, and the time-tried,
fire-tested Pittsburgh and Wheeling
stogie can be had at "two fer" or
two dollars hundred. A shave costs
q quarter, hair cut so cents. Best
hotels, which have water, electric
light, and all the modern improve
ments, charge two dollars and three
dollars a day, and some very fair as
low as one dollar dny.
The town is lighted by electricity
from fine plant, and 1t has water
works, supplied by. mountain streams,
30 high up that there is force enough
to throw water all over town. It is
cold water. too, and beautifully clear.

THE PARIS OF ALASKA.
Some Fentures Of Life In juneau, the
Principal city Of That IS
Territory.

Juneau is not a pious town, notwith-
standing it has Methodist, a Presby+
terian. an Episcopalian, Greek, q
Catholic, and an Indian church, all Of
them thrifty. The fact is, Juneau is
a good deal Partisan in its style, and
Is decidedly wide open. Gambling
places, saloons, dance halls and dives
abound, and they appear to be a ne
cessity of existing conditions. The
streets of Juneau, beyond the one at
the water front, are mostly uphill,
and they are all paved with plank,
says the Washington Evening Star.
Wagons are few, ten in all, but there
are platform sheds on low runners,
that can slide down street like
toboggan. There are rs horses in
town and one buggy. There are 20
bicycles, but just where they can run
is not apparent. There is an opera
house, and unique method of hav-
ing shows in it. Every Friday night
it is open to the best people, at one
dollar a. seat, with selected talent
from the variety shows of the town
where the best people cannot go
except the men.
Socially Juneau is quite gay, and
pink and other hued teas prevail in
the afternoons, while assemblies, balls,
and other functions take up the night
time. On special occasions flowers are
ordered from Seattle. There are 25
or 30 ladies, who are prominent in So
ciety, and entertain. Men are plenty,
but there are few unmarried women,
and there is an urgent demand for
them.
There are two banks, and the stores
are very large. with fine window dis
plays. One firm pays its window
trimmer Sos a month. What $500
size town in the states does as well
as that? Extensive stocks are car
ried, running from $4,000 10 $4,000,
with annual sales running as high az
$4,000 at retail. There is a big
business done IN Indian curios, the /
Indians selling as high as $4,000
worth year from their houses and on
the streets. One excursion steamer
last season carried out 5000 worth
of Indian baskets.
The press is represented by the Dis
patch daily, and its weekly, the
Morning Record, by F. c. Russell. Jr.
a hustler; the Alaska Miner and the
Truth are weeklles.
There are two or three libraries
and free reading rooms maintained
by the citizens. and they are al well
patronized. Dealers sell large quanti-
ties Of pspef-back novels a. well, and
