and a Good Citizen.
The entire community mOurns
the death of DR.. Francis Fen
wick Smith, which occurred on
Sunday afternoon last, at 6.45
o'clock, the result of complica-
ton of diseases, from which he
had suffered for well nigh on to
three months.
Outside of his immediate fam
lily, who of course feel the deepest
grief. are many who have known
the touch of his kindly hand and
heard the cheering accents of his
comforting voice in time of suf-
fering and atfliction. Many more
have been the beneficiaries of his
generosity during a life devoted
to the demands of the noblest
calling that of a physician.
Early and late he has ever held
himself at the call of those in
need OF his professional services
and from many grateful heart
so up to the Divine Spirit,
prayers for the repOse of his soul.
During his professional career in
this city, he has always stood
high in the estimation of his pa
tients and eo-laborers. Among
the first to be called into consul
tation, his advice was always
tempered with thorough knowl-
edge Of his work and the imme-
date demands of the case, and
was always readily considered.
In manner he was extremely
courteous and attractive and his
presence in a sick room often
more of a comfort than the physic
he prescribed. In the commun-
ity he stood high as a citizen
and a man and his loss
will be deeply felt i'll bust
ness and social circles.
The hand of death has dealt
most unkindly blow and thou
sands feel its weight. He died
as he had lived-a christian first
and last, a model husband and
father and a public benefactor.
DR.. Smith was born in ALLIE
ganey County, May "a, 1928,
making him slightly over 70
years of age. He was a son of
the late Leonard Smith and Eliza
Jamison Smith, both members of
ola and prominent Maryland
families. He graduated from
the Jefferson Medical College,
Philadelphia, Pa, in 1854, and
began the practice of medicine
in Prince Georges County. In
1868 he came to Frederick and
associated himself with his
brother, the late DR.. Charles
Smith. He married in 1866 Miss
Maria Lee Palmer, of Virginia,
who survives him, with four sons
Messrs. Charles f., John Francis,
William Meredith and Edward
j. Smith. Two sisters also sur
vive him-Misses Kate +. and
Mary L. Smith.
The funeral took place on Tues
day morning at 10 o'clock, from
st. Johns Catholic Church. Sol
emn Requiem Mass was sung,
with Rev. j. L. X. Coleman, as

at the Novitiate assisted in the
services. Rev. j. III. O'Rourke

American Steel for all the World.


Pttsburg, Sept. 1O.-The Dispatch
tomorrow will say:
Aggressive steps are being taken by
the Carnegie Steel Company to export
iron and steel into all parts of the
world. Eight great English trans-At-
lantic liners have been chartered for Il
year, and two of them are now load
ing ne Philadelphia for export. Use
will probably be made this winter Of
eight Lake transatlantic boats, now
operating in the ore trade on the great
lakes and orders will probably be Civ
en- this winter for sixteen of the new
pattern boats that can be operated
both on the lakes and ocean. The steel
company is determined to reach the
markets of the world with its surplus
product, and even more elaborate
plans will probably be made to Offset
the action OF the seaboard railroads.
The sudden development of the new
style of lake and ocean carrier will in
fuse new life into the Lake Erie and
Ohio River Ship canal, and in the next
session of Congress, when the provls-
ional committee will apply for its ma
tional charter. the steel manufacture
ers OF Pittsburg and others benefited
will probably stand n unit In its favor.

ELOPED
Not Allowed to See Her LOV-
Gr She Runs Away and
Is Married.

A social sensation is reported from
the little community of Crescent City.
L is reported that Miss May Pyatt, the
seventeen-year-old daughter of John
Pyatt, a merchant of that little town,
eloped last Sunday evening with j. A.
johnson and the compile was married
later the same evening. Johnson was
employed by farmer and fruit raiser
named Pfrimmer TO do farm work. He
had formed the acquaintance of Miss
Pya.t, although her parents always
kept her very close at home. They
held secret meetings and met often at
secluded lovers spot aud told each
other of the love they had. Miss Nays
father strenously objected to the
young mans attentions to his beauti.
full fairshaired daughter and the young
coup agreed to run away.
On last Sunday evening the young
man obtained a buggy and team of
con6ding and helping friend He
drove into the little town aud up to
the home of h 5 sweetheart She was
in the door watching for him Jump
ing quickly into the buggy they drove
off west through the town and then
south, crossed the Clmarron river and
were coming to Guthrie,
They had driven at almost break.
neck speed, ard when they had gone
but eight miles the team was almost
past going. They logged on few
miles further. when the team refused
10 go further. The lad, reduced to
the extremity of walking, thought to
unhitch and unharness the horses.
They then mounted horse apiece and
went on in search of a minister, which
they found after a two hours hunt.
Day before yesterday the father re-
ce'ved letter from the daughter, say
ing that they were married and would
soon be living happily in some portion
of the Cherokee Strip.

years ago his first wife died and left

tried to find comfortable homes for

he gathered his family together and

1T WAS VICIOUS.
Remarkable Ball Performance Given by
over and Underwriters.

Remarkable Ball Performance Given by
over and Underwriters.
The Waterbury watch in George
Dodson's kick was just on the stroke
of FIVE yesterday afternoon when the
gates of Island Park paddock were
unlocked by Mayor Berkey and the
precocious yearling, Frank Greer,
pranced out on the green sward wildly
neighing ard kicking. 1t was the
spectacular prelude to horse show,
ribbed up by underwriters and news
paper writer's. Evil minded persons
have stigmatized the show as q ball
game. but knockers are found in every
walk of life, except at the tat. Since the
ungenerous will have their way, the
thing will go humping down times
outfeld as a bald game.
Ii IS useless to comment at length
on the event. suffice it to say that the
score kee per was bribed which resu!-
ted in an apparent victory for the un-
derwriters at the close of the sixth
inning at the ratio of 20 to IS.
The game was marked by husky
lodging, pneumatic repartee and a
fine assortment of underdone calves
At no time during the game did the
insurance scrubs play ball; they ran
bases like pail bearers at funeral and
managed to stay in the game by TAX
ing risks on bases which they carried
with them. The story-writers were
handicapped by the league rules and
the law Of gravtatlon. For the un.
derwriters Humphrey, Dodson. Ar
dery, Gilbert and Freddy made esoter
ic plays, while Bekemeyer, Prouty
Shellabareer Greer, Gill and Barde

THE NEW YORK WORLD
THRICE-A-W WEEK EDITION.

The striking and important events

overwhelming value of THE THRICE-A-

The motto of THE THRICE A-WEEK
WORLD is improvement. 1t strives each

shown By the fact that it now circulates
more than twice as many papers every
