Disappointment was the reward
of the crowd that gathered at the
post yesterday to witness the pro-
posed game of baseball between
the married men and bachelors. A
number of the members of both
teams failed to keep their engage

come off. A nine was made up by

Mrs. Lillian Garthwaite Wiley.

BY telegram received by Miss
Esther Sloan Friday afternoon,
January 81, the many friends of
DR.. [. S. Garthwaite were made ac-
quainted with the sad news of the
death of his sister, Mrs. William
Wiley, which had occurred that
morning at Denver, Colorado,
whittier she had gone in the sum-
mer of ninety eight to recuperate
under different climatic condi-
tions. In the summer of ninety
seven, before going West, she
was the guest of her brother at
Webster Mills, during which time
many persons were attached to
her, by her gentle manner and
amiable disposition. In natural
gifts she was richly endowed, ,hav-
ing such knowledge of music as
made her delightful entertainer.
Skillful with the brush, her de-
votion to art was the comfort and
solace of many hours that other
wise might have been intolerable
during her long exile and illness.
Knowing that his sister had but
a short time to live, DR.. Garth
waite gave up a lucrative practice
at Webster Mills some months
ago and joined his sister at Den
YER, in order to assist his brother
er-in-law, Mr.. Wiley, in nursing
and caring for her.
The consciousness of having
done his whole duty in acts of
tender ministry and loving self
denial, cannot but sustain and
comfort him in this hour of lone
liness and grief, for such love and
devotion as this brother display
ed to his fragile little sister has
rarely been equaled and never
surpassed.
