Anderson Mail, June 25: Mr.. J.
G. Douthit, an old and respected citi-
zen of this county, died at his home
near Sandy Springs at 8 o'clock yes
terday afternoon as the result of a
stroke of paralysis which he sus.
tanned early yesterday morning.
Mr.. Douthit was paralyzed about
two years ago, but had almost en-
tirely recovered and was able to 90
about and attend to business. The
second stroke came upon him with
great suddenness yesterday morning
about breakfast time and he died
yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Douthit was born and spent
all of his life in Anderson county,

CHAPTER Ky.

Irby Wallace was in his study,
when small colored boy entered
and presented to him a tiny box,
among the other mail.
"What can this be ?" he thought,
as he turned the package over in the
palm of his hand. "The writing is
not familiar to me-"
To satisfy his curiosity, he quickly
tore away the paper, piece by piece,
and, when he had taken the last off,
he observed the box. Picture his
surprise when there, before his eyes,
he beheld the engagement ring. He
searched for some message, but found
none.
"What can this mean2 1t is all
beyond my comprehension. am

that prompted her to post the ring

Mr.. |. P. Smiths Marrow Escape.
ITO be continued.]

Mr.. l.. p. Smith, the we'll known AL
popular excursion promoter, returned
yesterday from business trip to
Atlanta. While in Atlanta he had
an experience that he would not go
through with again for all the money
that he could make on a thousand
excursions.
Mr.. Smith was seated at a desk
writing in she lobby of the Kimball
House Monday night when man
crazed by liquor crashed into the
room. The man had had quarrel
with another man on the third floor
of the building and had chased him
down the stairways. In his race he
had rpm through glass door, shat.
tering the glass and QUITTING himself
frightfully about the face and hands.
He was bleeding profusely when
he got to the hotel lobby, and the
man whom he had been chasing had
disappeared. The crazed mamie
was really insane for the time being
glanced around the lobby and his
eye resting on Mr.. Smith, he made
rush for him. He had a pocket
knife in his hand and as he started
for Mr.. Smith he had murder in his
eye.
Mr.. Smith is small man and he
had nothing with which to defend
himself. 1t is doubtful if he could
have used anything, as the attack
was 80 sudden. AS the maniac
rushed at him he seized the inkstand
and threw it into his face and then
dived under the table. The subse.
quent proceedings might have
turned out disastrous for Mr..
Smith had not some by-standers
rushed up and overpowered the
man. Policemen were called in from
the street and they handcuffed the
man and carried him off to the bar
racks. He got all right after several
hours when the effects of his spree
wore off.
Mr.. Smith was not hurt in the
encounter, but it was the narrowest
kind of escape. He admits that he
was frightened and says he fervently
hopes he will never have another
such experience.-Anderson Mail,

Take No Substitute.
Will Graft on New Scalp.

New York, June 27.-Two Hun
dred employees of the American Felt
Company, at Glennville, Conn, have
volunteered pieces of their skin to
save the life of one of their fellow
employees.
The victim is Mary Affeldt, 10
years of age, weaver. She had
just arrived at her loom and STONED
down over her "threads" to oil some
part of the machine when the loom
started. She raised her head, and
in an instant the hair at her temples
caught in the gear. Before anyone
could reach her she was lying on the
floor covered with blood. The hair
on her head had been pulled off, tax
ing the scalp with it and part of one
ear. Her condition is serious, but
the doctors believe she can be saved
by skin grating, and the weavers
have all volunteered to furnish what
is needed,

discharged with equal fidelity what
ever duties he was called on to per-
form as citizen. He was man of
great musical talent, and was known
throughout the upper part of the
county as a skillful musician. In
early life he joined the Methodist
church. He was man of strong
convictions and of the strictest in
tegrity. His death will be sincerely
deplored by all who knew him.
His wife died about four years
ago. They had but two children,
Mr.. j.. B. Douthit and Mrs. Rebecca
Pickel, who lived with him.
The interment will take place at
Sandy Springs this afternoon, the

FUND FOR NEW
STREETS EXPENDED
East Washington Heights Citizens As
sociation and the Commissioners Cor
respond

The question OF the spending oil the
appropriation for the macadamizing of
Pennsylvania Avenue extended has been
the subject of correspondence between
the East Washington Heights Citizens
Association and the District Commits
sioners. The association inquired wheth-
er the appropriation of $1,000 for the
purpose had been expended between
Minnesota Avenue and the Anacostia
bridge, and suggested that cobble gut
ters be laid and the macadam covered
with gravel.
The Commissioners will reply in ac-
cordance with the report on the subject
by MIR. Morris Hacker, Superintendent of
Roads, that the appropriation has been
nearly all expended and that there are
no funds available for the work sug-
gested.
1t appears that the macadam roadway
is twenty feet wide. and the Commission
ers think this wide enough to accom-
modate the present trayel on the Ave
nue. Mr. Hacker states that the depth
and construction of the macadam is ac-
cordng to the rules adopted for subur-
ban roads. The laying of the cutters is
not deemed necessary, nor is the cover
ing of the roadway with gravel above
the macadam.

LOCAL COMPANY OFFERS
COAL BINS TO DISTRICT
Would Facilitate Shipments
of Fuel for Schools.

The District Commissioners have re-
ceived from Mr.. W. Hamilton Smith,
manager of the ]. Maury Dove Coal
Company, letter offering the facilities
of the company for the unloading and
temporary storage of any coal that the
municipal. authorities may have shipped
to the city for the use of the public
schools.
I'VE fully appreciate the situation in
which the District would be placed
says Mr.. Smith, lin the lack of fuel for
this important purpose, and while We
are unable to relieve the situation by
she delivery or handling of any ship
ments which you may secure, yet should
you find il to your best interests to de-
liver this fuel with District teams. VIC
will place at your disposal. free of
charge. two bins in our railroad dump
at First and NJ Streets northeast for the
unloading of this coal during the months
Of October and November.
The Commissioners have heard moth
ing further from the coal depart
ment of the Reading Railroad system.
but hope they will be able to do some-
thing in the way of shipping 1000 or
1900 tons of coal here before the cold
weather actually sets in. President
Baer, of the Reading. has instructed the
coal department to see what it can do
for the Commissioners.
Commissioner Macfarland has replied
to Mr.. Smiths letter, expressing the ap-
probation of the authorities for his kind

COST OF COAL FALLS
HEAVILY ON THE POOR
United Hebrew Charities
Makes Urgent Appeal.

The cost of coal is having a telling
effect on funds accumulated for the care
of the poor. The situation has become
so serious that the United Hebrew
Charities has issued to the public an ap
peal for additional aid. The circular
says:
THE fuel problem which confronts the
public in general the scarcity of that
Indispensable article coal, coupled with
its exorbitant cost, when obtainable, are
matters sufficiently grave and agitatins
to every housekeeper. Especially is the
problem serious one to those who are
charged with the care and the comfort
of the poor.
Hundreds of these poor people in the
past by great self-denial have kept their
families from the pangs of cold by daily
purchases of small quantities of coal,
but where formerly family could make
a shift of getting along on or 10 cents
a day for fuel, it is now practically i'm
possible to get an adequate supply for
double these amounts.
Hard on the Moneyless.
"The situation of those who have no
money will be deplorable 1t will be ap-
parent to anyone who gives the matter
the least thought that all charity organi-
cations will be in need of larger funds
than ever to meet the demands that will
be made upon them this winter.
THE United Hebrew Charities appeals
TO it's patrons and friends to send in
their subscriptions and donations now
due as speedily as possible. Let the re-
turns be increased, doubled if possible. in
order TO make the care of the poor a
possibility. Those who have given this
matter an Indifferent consideration are
especially and earnestly implored, for
the sake of suffering humanity, to give
this appeal their closest attention. Do

RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF
POLICEMEN IN SALOONS
Diversity OF Opinion Leads Commissioners to Seek a
Ruling From Corporation Counsel.

The District Commissioners have re-
quested the Corporation Counsel to give
them instructions as to the right CT
police officers to enter saloons at the
request of proprietors to put out or ar
rest disorderly persons. The Commits
sioners also request information as to
the duty of policemen in entering sa-
looms under certain other conditions.
This action was taken at the instance
of the Retail Liquor Dealers Associa-
tion. which recently sent the following
letter to the Commissioners:
Alterations Are Provoked.
'Tt appears that when an officer is
called by saloonkeeper to remove
The Washington times., 1902-09-26

disorderly person from his place of
business. the officer generally expresses
an unwillingness to enter, and suggests
that the offending party be conducted
to the door. On the other hand there
have been occasions when officers have
entered barrooms unrequested. and by
so doing involved themselves in alterca-
tions with the proprietors.
There appears to be a diversity of
opinion on this subject among the men
in the trade as well as among members
of the bar, and as it is of the utmost
Importance TO the trade, 1t is respectful
ly suggested by this association that the
matter be referred TO the Corporation
Counsel for definition of the rights
and duties of policeman in the prem
ises.'
