DEATH OF MRS. SMITH. -SurrouDde
by loving children and grandchildren
Mrs. Sarah g. Smith passed away yes
terday evening at 6 20 o'clock at her
residence, No. $40 Wolfe street. Sac
was the widow of the lats Francis L..
Smith, for many years distinguished
lawyer 10 this community, and the
daughter OF John,O. Vowel. of London,
England, and Mary Jscqleline Smith,
of Shooters Hill, Middlest equity, Vir-
ginia. Her tstler, MIR. Vowel, was 8
successful merchant 10 his day, and bic
vessels sailed to all parts OF the world,
contributing to the commercial activi-
ty and Importance of Alexandria. Mrs.
Smith was q woman of the noblest
traits of character and gifted by Provi-
dsnce with an intellect far above the
average and a sound, we'll balanced
Judgment. She had out-lived the
friends and companions of her youth,
and of all the families who at that time
we're conspicuous here. she alone re-
NAMED uutil this day. OF children she
had nine, four OF whom survive her.
she int lied in their youog minds the
great aud ttsrnal truths OF Christianity,
and lived to realize that no woman ever
possessed to q larger degree the conf
dence, the respect aud devotion OF her
children and descendants, than herself.
She was model OF industry and
economy, gifted with every womanl y
grace aud virtue, and her presence al
ways lent a charm to every scene at
M he
full and charitable and those WHO were
privileged to koow her will remember
her wonderful pOise, the. calm. sober
Judgment and sound seDse she brought
10 bear upon every proposition, aud the
correctness OF her conclusions. MRS.
Smith was of distinguished lineage,
numbering among her ancestors many
men notable 10 the early history OF Vlr-
gtnis. The Jacquelius and Careys were
amongst her kinsmeD, and August ae
Warner, at one time Speaker OF the
House OF Burgesses, was her direct
lineal ancestor. She was a remarkable
aud gifted woman. Her loss will be
mourned by many, but the Immediate
members OF her household are dis.
consulate, and she has left there q void
which never can be filled. AS an
example OF lofty devotion and self
sacrifice, her life as daughter, sistsr,
wife, mother and friend Is legacy to
ell who knew and loved her. Mrs.
Smith was 10 the S9sh year of her age,
and almost to the last retained all OF
her wonderful faculties. Death was
the result of no disease, but, like
flower, she faded away after long aud
useful life. Her surviving children are
Mics Margaret V. Smith, Col. F. l..
smith. Mrs. E. L. DsiDger6eld, and
Mrs. w. E. Strong, the latter OF New
York.

A Poisonous Drug Still Freely Used,

Many people are brought up TO beleVe
that coffee is a necessity of life, and the
strong hold that the drug has on the
system makes it hard to loosen its grip,
even when one realizes its injurious Ell
feet;
A lady in Baraboo writes: Il had used
coffee for years; it seemed one OF the ne
cessities of life. A few months ago my
health, which had been slowly falling
became more impaired, and l knew that
unless relief came from some source L
Would soon be a physical wreck. l was
weak and nervous had such sick head
aci es. no ambition. and felt tired OF life.
NV husband was also losing his health.
He was troubled so much with lndlges-
ton that at times he could eat only a
few mouthfuls Of dry bread
I'VE concluded that coffee was SLOWLY
poisoning us and stopped 1t and useo
hot water We felt somewhat better, but
i, wasn't satisfactory. Finally we saw
Fcstum Coffee advertised and bought a
package I followed directions for max
ing carefully, allowing it to boil twenty
minutes after II came to the boiling

He said that in his experience of thirty

found its victim on cross street near
Richmond College.

killed by lightning some years ago, but
they lived in the county
