Washington, Aug. 16.--The Division
of Insuar Affairs, War Department,
has had considerable telegraphic cor
respondence relating to the appoint
ment of Mrs. Fannie Wadsworth of
Melwood, Neb., as a teacher in the
Philippines. She applied for the posi-
tion as Miss" Wadsworth, and was
selected. Then dispatch was received
saying she could not go because she
had young children TO look after. This
was signed George Wadsworth," her
husband
Questioned by the department about
the matter, she replied by wire that
the children were her husbands by a
former wife, and that she wished her
appointment to stand. She went to n
small town in Kansas, telegraphed for
transportation, which was sent to her,
and she sailed with other teachers for
Manila.
Letters were received from George
Wadsworth, asking that transportation

it was decided to send her the trans
portation and let her decide the matter
for herself
When Secretary Root returns Mr..
Wadsworths protest will he lad before
him for decision 1t is safe to say,
however, that Mrs. Wadsworths ap-
pointment will not be revoked unless
something is adduced rejecting on Mrs.
Wadsworth's character or ability. The
view now obtaining in the War depart
ment Is that the schools are run for
the benefit of the children and not for
the purpose of forcing separated fam
lilies TO live together.
If Mrs. Wadsworth is good teacher
there is little likelihood that Mr.. Wads.

TITUsVILLE. FLA. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 20. 1901
To Inspect Watches.

Mr.. I'll. 7. Whaler, of Miami, who
makes his first official trip as watch in
spector over the lower half Of the F. f.
G. railway system this week, stopping at
almost every station from Miami to New
Smyrna, Orange City Junction and San
ford, has secured Mr.. ID. s. Porter, one Of
the best jewellers in the state, to take
charge of his store here in ntusville.
Mr.. Porter was with Mr.. Whaler one
year in Barlow and went from there to
Jacksonville to take a position with
Messrs. Greenleaf & Crosby. He is an
exceptionally fine workman as well as a
most excellent gentleman, affable, court
eous and obliging, and our town people
will find in him a most agreeable citizen.

The Titusville public school opened
Monday morning with an attendance of
over 100 pupils. Miss Bessie Grisard is
in charge of the high school department
and is principal; Miss Jennie Miller, in
termediate, and Miss Grace Reddy,
primary grade.
The opening exercises were attended
by quite number of our citizens, with
County Superintendent Minis in charge.

Presbyterian church, was called upon to
read a scripture lesson and offer prayer
The third chapter of Proverbs was read
and he made a few appropriate remarks.
Mr.. Minis followed with a short ad-
dress and then introduced Prof. Teeter,
who, he said would assist the teachers in
grading the school.
The new corps of teachers made very
favorable impression, and it is to be
hoped that this will be our most success

Farewell Reception.

A farewell reception was rendered Miss
Ruth Woodward at the opera house
Wednesday night by Indian River band
with a number of friends present. The
affair was improvised on account of Miss
Ruth's going to DeLand to reside, which
retires her as a member of the band, and
the members took this means of express
ing their high regard for her and just ap-
probation of her services as one of them.
The little folks were present in goodly
number also, and enjoyed themselves
dancing, playing games, etc. Refresh
ments, consisting of cake and ice cream
were served and the band rendered sew
eral selections. Miss Ruth was very
much elated over the happy event.
1t is with deep regret that the friends
of the Woodward family parted with
them yesterday afternoon when Mrs
Woodward and Miss Ruth went to De-
Land TO reside permanently.

Fire In TitusviIIe.

The alarm Of fire early Saturday morn
ing aroused the people of Titusyille from
their soundest slumbers of the night, Just
before daybreak, when il was discovered
that the building occupiei by Mr.. Pierre
S. Titus, near the Indian River hotel, was
on fire. The alarm was given out by the
electric light station whistle ahont $40
O'Clock, but, on account Of the engineer
not understanding the proper whistle for
h.e alarm, many mistook the call for
station help, hence the response was
rather slow.
The fire caught at the southeast corner
of the building and apparently inside, as
the interior was full of smoke when the
doors were broken in in the effort to save
some of the furniture. Mr.. Henry Titus.
who owned the building, tried to save
some of the goods, but only secured one
rocker through a window. In a hall
hour the building fell in and the danger
to adjoining buildings was over For
tunately the heavy southeast wind of the
early evening had died out and very
light air prevailed from the southwest or
the fire might have done a vast amount
of damage.
The building covered considerable space
on the ground, hence made large fire
for a few minutes. The owner states
that the building was insured for 500.
The furniture had $50 insurance, but
Mr.. Titusrecently put in several hundred
dollars worth of new furniture, so he
loses heavily by the fire. He left Friday
for Sebastian and Fort Pierce, and the
Messrs. Henry and LAME Hopkins, who
had been staying with him since Mrs.
Titus went away, were stopping with
Mr.. Joe Hopkins. No fire, it is stated,
had been in the kitchen stove since the
Wednesday morning preceding the fire.
Hence how the building caught afire will
probably remain mystery.

Fr. PIERCE, Sept. l7.-William w.
Brown died suddenly at his home here
this morning. Mr.. Brown was in his
74th year, and came to the river in 1898,
from Harvey, Ill.,, where for many years
he practiced law and officiated as Justice
of the peace. He was a veteran of the
Mexican and civil wars, and frequently
recounted the struggles and hardships
which were incidentally part Of these
tnmultuous periods in American history.
Mr.. Brown, accompanied by Mrs. Brown,
had recently been spending several
months in Key West, and had returned
to their home only few weeks since.
/ The cause of death is attributed to
heart failure superinduced by ailments
resulting from wartime hardships, and
augmented by severe attack of lagrippe
from which he suffered last year. He is
survived by his widow. who has the sin
cers sympathy of the community. The
interment will occur at Ft. Pierce ceme-
