WAS A FRIEND TO MANY
DEATH OF MRS. JOHN FITZGER-
AID WILL BE KEENLY MOURNED
As Wife of Superintendent of the
County WOrLhOuse She Had Many
Opportunities to Refriend Help
less and Unfortunate People
Sent There.

The death of Mrs. John Fitzgerald, wife
of the superintendent of the Ramsey
county workhouse, occurred early Monday
morning at the family residence, Como
park.
During Mrs. Fitzgeralds residence in St.
Paul, extending over period of eighteen
years her personality, her kindly, amiable
and sympathetic disposition won for her
the abiding affection of an extensive and
affectionate circle of personal friends.
Self sacrificing in her entire life, devoted
in thought and soul to her duties as wife
and mother, Mrs. Fitzgerald still found
ample opportunity to extend over others
the beneficent influence of her gentle ac-
tivities, of her sweet and lovable DISPOSE
ticn.
The position Of the decedent as wife Of
the superintendent FACED at her hand
opportunities which she never ceased to
avail herself of to the utmost, to lessen
the burdens and mitigate the misfortunes
and sorrows of those who had been
brought within the official care of her
husband. Many a poor, obscure soul will
shed a tear of sorrow when ne learns of
the death of the gentle woman who, go
ing outside her own circle of domestic
obligations, brought into his or her own
existence the sunshine of human love, and
the grave and far-reaching thoughHulness
" hich distinguished her relations with ali
about her.
Readiness to Help Others.
II is not alone for her husbands sake
a man who has stood for years in the
light of public position, and whose quiet
manliness and sterling friendship has won
to him, it might be said the entire peo-
pie of the COMMUNICATIVE the decedent
will be remembered or mourned. Never
blessed herself with vigorous health she
bore her ailing with a sunny smile, and
ever showed her readiness to help others
to realize all the joy there is to be found
in healthful, vigorous life.
To her family and friends her death
will come as deep affection, and as an
enduring grief which will be borne none
the less keenly because thousands OF peo-
pie can be numbered among her friends
and admirers.
The funeral of Mrs Fitzgerald will take
place from the family residence this
morning at $50. Services will be held at
st. Luke's church, after which the re-
mains will be taken to her old home in
Detroit, Mich.,s for interment.

He Passes Away After Long Illness

LONDON, April 29.-United States Con-
sui General Osborne died at his residence
in Wimbledon at 1890 o'clock this morn
ing.
Mr. Osborne has been confined to his
home since November last suffeing from
Bright's disease and dropsy, which lat
terly affected his heart. He was con-
scious until near the end.
The deceased never had been absolute
ly well since he arrived in England.
William Mckinley Osborne was ap-
pointed consul general at London by
President Mckinley on March 49, 1887. He
was born at Girard, Ohio, in 1912. Later
he removed to Boston. Mr.. Osborne was
a cousin of the late President Mckinley.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 29.-Therc
is a probability that Commissioner Of
Pensions Evans will be offered the posi-
ton of consul general to London to sue
coed William Mckinley Osborne whose
death was announced this morning.
White house officials are reticent in re-
gard to the matter, as is also Mr.. Evans,
There is reason to believe that the presi-
dent would very much like to have him
accept it, and the chances are decidedly
in favor of it's being offered to him.
The state department today received
Deputy Consul General Westacott. dat
ed London, today: Deeply regret to
report death this morning of Gen. Viii
liam Mckinley Osborne
The post is considered to be the plum
of the United States foreign service, for
the compensation averages about SIS, 600
per annum and the expenses are not
particularly large.
Mr.. Osborne was secretary of the Re-
publican national committee during Nc
Kinley's first campaign for the presi-
dency. His family wife and several
children, were with him in Europe, the
eldest boy at an English college and his
younger daughters at school in Paris
Commissioner of Pension Evans was q
caller at the White house today and
while there the president informed him
Of the death of William Mckinley Os-
borne, consul general to London and
in an informal manner offered him the
vacant position. No formal tender of
the place was made and none will be, as
the president wants to pay the proper
respect to the memory of the dead con-
sui. Mr.. Evans said that he would take
the offer under advisement, but no doubt
he will accept it when it is made in a
formal manner.
