Molineux, who was brought into
court as soon as it was known that

evidence of emotion when the words
that established his innocence were
pronounced. His aged father, Gen

"Ail that's bright must fade,
The brightest are the tieetest:
All that's sweet was made,
But to be lost when sweetest,

When it became generally known
Yesterday morning that Miss Fan
ME Lee was dead the entire city was
overwhelmingly enveloped in grief,
each and every one feeling and be-
speaking by their very looks that
her death creates loss not only to
the family, but a loss to the entire
town. If she had SO woven and in
terwoven herself into the tender
tendrils OF her friends, how must 1t
be with the family whose hearts are
deeply weighted down with grief.
During the entire period of her i'll
ness she was given the tenderest
OF nursing and the pest medical at
tention that could be obtained. Day
after dav and night after night she
suffered intensely, but bore ii un-
complainingly. She displayed a
wonderful stoicism under the effects
of the fever which was sapping her
young life away.
Miss Fannie Lee was twenty-four
years of age and graduated at the
Park High school in 1894, winning
salutatorian honors in class of
eight. Since then she has taught at
Milford and in the city public
schools. She was bright and in
telligent young lady, endowed with
all the component elements which
go to make up true womanhood.
She was a young woman of many
personal charms and was uuivers-
ally loved and esteemed. She was
born and raised in Waxahachie and
was one of the most popular of the
city's fair daughters. She was a
member Of the Baptist church and
lived consistent christian life
She was devoted to her father and
mother and was loved and idolized
by her brothers and sisters.
The funeral services were held at
nine O'Clock this morning at the
family residence in Williams Add
tion. The last sad rites over the
remains of this beautiful young
lady were conducted by Revs. b. A.
| Copass and j. G. Smith. An unus-
ually large crowd was in attendance,
thus attesting the general high es-
TEEN in which she was held. The
| funeral services were very beauti-
full and impressive. In addition to
the prayers and remarks made by
the ministers two or three songs
were effectively rendered.
The services at the grave Were
the most trying of all; the parting
was heart-breaking. Rev. Copass

Relic OF Three Wars.

Mr.. L. G.. Redmond, who lives
near Sardis, was in the city today
and showed the reporter "a small
homespun bag, known as the sol
dier's household" which he says
has accompanied members of his
family through three wars. 1t was
made by his grandmother and was
first used by an uncle, Mp. Hodges,
of Fountain Head, Tenn, in the
Texas Mexican war of 1886. This
uncle had it in the battle San Jacinto
when he assisted in the capture Of
Santa Anna. Later IL became the
property of Mr.. Redmond's father
and was by him carried through the
great civil war between the states.
When the war broke out between
the United States and Spain, a

Thompkins, enlisted and the house

panied him during his term of en-
listment. 1t is a heavy brown cot

They grow pale and disappear from
earth, but from the crown of immor-

And so it with all that is beautiful,
pure and true. Flowers that fall at
the approach of winter viii bloom

it is with human life. The sable
winged messenger of death is abroad
in the land and is no respector Of
age The young life full of hope
and noble aspirations and with a
bright future before it is cut down
by the icy hand of death. A few
months ago Miss Fannie Lee Ross,
the beautiful an accomplished
daughter of Captain and Mrs. w. j.

choicest flowers in the rose garden
of Waxahachie's young womanhood.
But disease laid its blighting and
whitening hand upon her and after a
painful illness covering a period of
more than hinety days she submit
