DEATH OF GENERAL DOUGLAS

DEATH OF GENERAL DOUGLAS.
General Henry Kyd Douglas, whose death
took place at his homo In Hagerstown on
Friday last, has long been one Of the most
widely known and conspicuous men in
Maryland. He was a native Of Virginia,
but bis parents were Maryland people, and
throughout bis life he was entirely identi.
fled with this State. He was man of strik
iDg personality, both in his appearance and
In his mental endowments. His personal
appearance was most distinguished. He was
tall and erect and carried himself as a sol
der, which, indeed, he was. He entered the
Confederate army as youth In the ranks
with musket on bis shoulder. Rising rap.
! lily into notice for his soldierly qualities, he
became an aid on Gen. Stonewall Jackson's
staff, and enjoyed the association and the
confidence Of that great commander. Ia the
army he performed q number Of acts which
brought him distinction. After the war he
engaged In the practice oil his profession,
and was brilliant lawyer, as he had been
brilliant soldier. He was as q lawyer
brilliant rather than profound, as he was
never a student. At the trial table he was
ready and resourceiul and strong before
juries. He was fond OF political life, and
although he made several efforts, he never
was success in the political field, having
been defeated each time he was candidate,
because he was In community where his
party was in the minority. For a short
time he was on the bench and made an ex
cellent record. He loved military affairs
and all his life took deep interest in the
Maryland National Guard. As captain of
militia company, major, colonel of a regi-
ment and Adjutant.G General OF Maryland,
he contributed In marked degree to the eff.
cheney Of the State troops.

walks are so narrow that pair of
lovers can hardly squeeze close enough
together to walk abreast. but must
single file like pair of ducks. In
many places the bricks are missing
for a distance of two to ten feet. and
all the sand upon which the bricks
were laid has been washed out by the
rains. leaving hole about a foot deep.
When man unconsciously steps into
a place like that it jerks his liver out
Of place and stops his watch. When
he runs into one of those fire plugs
in the middle of the walk, his finish
is in the gutter In rainy weather
the holes in the walks become pools
of water through which no person not
wearing high rubber boots can wade
without coming out with wet feet. The
sidewalks are almost as bad as the
streets, and the streets couldn't be
worse. The good sidewalks fever
should get hold of the people as firmly
as the good streets fever. Good walks
are as essential as good streets.

Waterproofinq Boots at Home


1 have for the last five years used
successfully dressing for leather
boots and shoes, composed Of oil and
India rubber, keeping out moisture
and uninjurious to the leather applied,
leaving same soft and pliable. To
prepare some, heat in an iron vessel
either fish oil. castor oil. or even tai.
low to about $50 degrees Fahrenheit,
then add, cut into small pieces, vul-
canized or raw India rubber, about
one-f1fth the weight of the Oil, gradu-
ally stirring same with wooden
spatula until the rubber is completely
dissolved in the oil; lastly, add to
give it color small amount of print
er's ink. Pour into a suitable vessel
and let cool. One or two applications
OF this are sufficient to thoroughly
waterproof a pair of boots or shoes
for season. Boots or shoes dressed
will take common shoe backing with
the greatest Scientific Ameri.
can.
