will be a candidate for the United
States senate against Mr.. Quay before
the Pennsylvania legislature, is one of
the richest men in Philadelphia. His
candidacy has the Endorsement of May

ported. Mr.. Widener has recently won
the reputation of being a philanthro-
lpist. Some time ago he presented his
superb city residence, with all its
treasures of art, to the public library
as memorial to his dead wife. This
gift amounts in value to about $1,000

Elephants MS Nursemaids.

Siamese women trust their children
to the care of elephants. Their babies
play about the huge feet of the ami
mails, who are ever careful not to hurt
the little creatures. And if danger
threatens the sagacious old nurse will
curl the child gently in his trunk and
swing 1t out of harms way upon his
own broad back.

genius for making safe and profitable
investments. His interests are not
along any special line, but cover rather
a wide range of financial property,
chiefly in street railways. But Mr..
Widener has never considered any in
eustry unworthy of exploitation and
his enormous wealth is therefore made
up of large variety of things valua-
Bile. He is now 60 years old and has but
lately turned his active mind from the
cares of business to the pleasures OF
philanthropy and politics. He resides
on his magnificent country estates

Death of III James Hickson


A few short years ago and Fl.
j. Hicksen was the ideal of robust
young manhood. But while his
friends admired the handsome
face, the manly foim; and almost
envied him the glow of health in
his cheeks and the seeming long
and useful life before him, little
did they dream that SO soon the
relentless angel of Death, with
his icy touch, would lay low this
noble young man. For months
he has suffered from CANCER of
the tongue, and 1t will he remem-
bered that he was recently oper-
atsd on at the JOINS Hopkins
hospital and a large part Of the
tongue removed After some
weeks spent there he came home
and he and his friends were bright
ened, and cheered up with hopes
that the cancer would net return
but, alas, their hopes soon vanish
ed and 1T became too apparen t
that the inevitable was at hand
Only a week ago it became the
painful duty of his step, father,
Sheriff Jno. P. Hunter, to tell
him the result of consultation
OF the ply ysicians, viz: that a re-
turn to Johns Hopkins was use
less and that his recovery could
no longer be hoped for. Taking
two handsome rings from his fin
ger lac requested that they be
given to his sister, and from that
time calmly he awaited the final
moment, which came at - O'Clock
Thursday and his pure spirit Slip
ped away into the great beyond.
Henry James Hickson wascthe
Oldest son of the late H. j., and
Laura Fraser Hickso., and was
about 40 years of age. For .sev-
eral years he was engaged in busi-
ness here but for the past few
years he has been engaged in bus
mess in Charleston. During Mr..
Hunters term as us. Marshal. he
was his chief deputy: Mr.. Hick-
son had many friends, and was a
young man without guile, honest,
kind, sincere always, never one

row. In morals he was model
young man. From childhood he
exhibited devotion to his mother
that was beautiful, and that same
devotion has been shown his sister,
Mrs. G. B. Barron, who sur.
wives him. Hs was member of
the Methodist church and died in
full hope of the reward that
awaits the faithful.
The interment took place YES
terday morning in the family plot
at the old cemetery, with the
burial ceremony of the Weodmen
OF the World, of which he was a
member and In which fraternity
he carried insurance on his life to
the amount of So, 900. The funer-
al services were conducted by
Rev. Chalmers Fraser assisted by
Rev. j. II. Boldridge. The
services were held in the Presby
terian church and the church was
filled with people Notwithstanding
q heavy lain was falling. The
grave was covered with beautiful
flowers after it had been filed.
To the devoted sister and loved
ones who survive him, We tender
our deepest sympathy and the
sympathy of the entire COM
munity.
