SUDDENLY PASSES AWAY.
Death of william Irwin PrOOke Yes
terdaX of Heart Failure.

VIM. Irwin Brooke died suddenly of heart
failure yesterday afternoon at his apart
ments In the Kensington, 18th street near
Florida avenue. About three months ago
Mr. Brooke had the misfortune to fall and
break his leg, and the effects OF the con-
finement incident to that resulted in great
ly weakening him. He was, however, able
recently to use crutches, and yesterday for
the first time he went out for drive and
visited his mother at the Cairo.
On the return home the horse attached to
the carriage in which he was seated slipped
and fell, incident which greatly excited
Mr.. Brooke. He was quite weak when he
reached the house and fell into a chair ex-
hausted and then became unconscious. His
wife at once called for medical assistance,
but before the arrival of a physician Mr..
Brooke had passed away. The announce
ment of his death was a great shock to Il
large circle of friends with whom the de-
ceased was very popular.
Mr. Brooke was born in Prince Georges
county, Md, In 1853, and came.to this city
with his parents when he was a boy. He
went into business with his father who
dealt in agricultural implements and hard
ware and upon the death of the latter he
continued the business, his establishment
being at $50 Louisiana avenue. His wifo
and two sons survive him.

The persons named under the act to

were required to file their proceedings

Executive Department at Milledgeville
for a copy of the proceedings of the
commissioners. A search failed to

the respective colleges of the United
States" and that a complete appara-
tus for such sciences and a library for
the use of the students be provided"
Whatever papers were filed with the
state relative to the proceedings of the
trustees, appear to have been lost. In
1859 a search was made in the records
at Mllledgeville, which brought to light
but one document bearing on Bethesda,

appropriation of $4,000 for repairing and

1902, and to have been in operation
there for three years. Advertisements

AN INTERNAL REMEDY.
A Pleasant Tasting TabIet-Simple,
Convenient-Cures Every Form of
Catarrb.


Catarrb.
The use Of inhalers, douches, sprays,
salves and powders for catarrh Is a
nuisance and inconvenience at the best
and cannot compare with antiseptic
remedies in tablet form for internal
use.
Internal remedies are the only ones
which can really reach the seat of the
disease which is in the blood and local
applications can no more cure catarrh
than rheumat ism or kidney trouble,
the excessive secretion in nose and
throat being local manifestations OF
a deep seated poison in the blood.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the most
successful of the various internal rem
idies, is composed principally Of high
ly concentrated antiseptics, which de-
stroy the catarrh germs in the blood
and causes them to be eliminated
through the natural channels.
Progressive physicians use and adj
wise Stuart's Catarrh Tablets because
they contain no cocaine, no opium, no
enervating drug whatever, but are
composed OF Guaiacol Hydrastin, Red
Gum and similar catarrh antiseptics,
and are 80 safe and pleasant that even
little children may use them with ex
cellent results.
Catarrh sufferers who have wasted
time and money on local applications
should rot despair OF radical cure
until a trial Of Stuarts Catarrh Tab
let's has been made
a complete treatment may be pur-
chased az any drug store for nifty CENTS.
