OBITUARY..



Mn. Joseph J. Dale died at his home
No. 402 Jones street, east, at 2:10
o'clock this morning. He had been
ill about two months. Death re-
suited from paralysis brought about
through a fall caused by stepping on
an orange peel. He rallied from the
first stroke. and made such steady
Improvement for a time that 1t was
believed to be a question of a very
short time when he would be able to
return to his affairs, but a week ago
he suffered a second stroke and from
the end came.
1t had been known to Mr.. Dale's rel
atives and friends for several days,
that there was no hope of his recovery,
and that his death was a question of
a. short time, but his wonderful vitality
caused them to hope against
hope, until early Sunday MORN
ing, when a sudden spell of
weakness led his nurses to believe that
the end was near. and to summon his
relatives to the bedside. He rallied
but the physicians could offer no hope
that death would be delayed more than
a few days.
Mr.. Dale was one of the oldest and
one of the best known business men
in Savannah. He was born in Lands
End, England, Feb. Is, 1929. When IL
years old he was brought to this coun-
NV hNY n fe V,Or &c
consin, where he remained until 1858,
when he came South. He went first to
Atlanta, but remained there Gnly a
short time before going to Brunswick.
When the Civil War began he enlist
ed in the Confederate army, and was
detailed to furnish wood for the gov
eminent. AT one time he was also in
charge of a grist mill in Pierce coun-
ty, operated by the Confederacy to

anu operated a SaWnlH ana carried on

self largely to his monied interests. He
was president of the Oglethorpe Saw

ident of the National Bank of Sayan-
nah. He had also large real estate
holdings that demanded much of his
attention. For a time. too, he gave
much of his time to the work of the
County Commissioners of which he was
chairman.

White one of the oldest settlers of
New England. She died In 1898. In

HOPES TO DEFEAT THE
SWAYNE IMPEACHMENT.
GiIIett Believes the House Mny Turn
the Report Down.

GiIIett Believes the House May Turn
the Report Down.
Washington. March 31.-An addition
al minority report on the Swayne inn
parchment proceedings has been pre-
pared by Representative Parker of New
Jersey. and will be filed with the re-
port of Representative Gillett of Cal
ifornia.
While opposing impeachment, Mr..
Parker takes a somewhat different
view of the case than does Mr. Gill
lett. His report is very brief, and in
opposing Impeachment he makes no
eulogistic comments on the official
character of Judge Swayne.
Mr.. Gillett has been withholding his
report in order that each member of
the committee who did not sign the
majority report might have an oppor-
tunity to sign the minority. Seven
members so far have signed this re-
port, but two members have not yet
signed. These are Messrs. Thomas of
Iowa and Warner of Illinois.
Mr.. Gillett has been sounding the
sentiment on the Republican side of
the House. and believes that he can
secure enough votes to defeat the i'm
parchment resolution reported from the
to be taken up, according to the pres
ent programme, as soon as the appro-
priation bills are disposed Of

no reason why woman IN
good health should not retain her looks
until she is quite old. Girls grow up
like flowers in the field, and if weeds do
not smother their good looks-by which
we mean disease of the feminine organs
they should grow up beautiful. There
is no reason in the world why the
majority of our women should grow old
looking and haggard as young as they
do. The influence of flowers is good.
A woman who loves flowers is usually
one who enjoys tranquility and cheerful
ness has usually charming feminine
ways. Men do not like a mannish
woman. The sight of flowers often
tranquilizes a woman's nerves and the
perfume soothes the temper. In America
wrinkles are the greatest drawbacks to
beauty that we have to fight. 1t seems
as if we even see wrinkles in the faces
of our very young girls. Life in the
open air assists people to keep young.
By living in stagnant air in close room
night or day the beauty of the COM
plexion is spoiled. vMany people i'm
agine night air is dangerous" says DR..
Pierce, the great specialist in woman's
diseases. vThey exclude it from the
sleeping rooms as far as possible by
keeping doors and windows closed.
This is mistake. Young women are
apt to hover about the register or stove,
spending too much time in the warmth
indoors, with the result that they become
tender and sensitive and are almost GER
tain to catch cold. The young girl is
like a plant which, set in a dark cor
ner, becomes scrawny and struggles
hard for an existence, but if put in the
sunlight puts on more vigorous growth.
Thousands of girls in America lose
health and strength and grow thin and
sickly because they do not take proper
hygienic methods or take proper care
of their wo,sianly health. When there
is disturbance of the female organs the
effects are vide spread and disastrous"

Large Crowd Heard the Pleas of the
Candidates.

Candidates.
Orlando, Fla, March 31.-Col. Robert
w. Davis, Senator J. P. Taliaferro,
and ex-senator Wilkinson Cali spoke
here last night to a full house. Their
reception was a cordial one. 1t was
the first political meeting of the cam
paign that has drawn a crowd.
The coming of ex-senator Call had
not been announced, but the other
speakers very generously divided the
time with him, allowing him a liberal
portion.
Davis is the favorite of this county
for Governor, and while Democrats are
somewhat divided on the senatorial
question, it is believed that Taliaferro
will lead all of the other aspirants.
Nominations for all local. state and
congressional places will be made at
the primaries to be held May 10 next,
and as Florida is so decidedly Demo-
cratic, the campaigning viii all be
done in advance of that date, as a
nomination at the primaries will settle
the election later on.

and never before prominent in state
politics, is making a good race for the
congressional nomination in this dis

AND Ran
Edgar Sipes Took Baby Away
from Mother.
She Had Left Him Five Months
Ago.

Sheriff Lucas is looking for Edgar
Sipes, who it is charged kidnapped his
two-year-old child, Frank, at O'Clock
this morning. Sipes went to the house
of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Wycoff, at
100 West Tenth avenue, and while the
mother and grandmother were not
looking, seized the baby and ran, so the
women say.
Sipes came from Nashville, Indiana,
four months ago, following his wife,
who left him a few weeks before that
time and came home to her mother, Mrs.
Wycoff. Mrs. Sipes refused to return
with her husband, and he hung around
town, working occasionally and calling
at Mrs. Wycoff's home to see his child
frequently. The mother. Mrs. leila
Sipes, watched him closely, fearing that
he would steal the baby, and on two
different occasions stopped him when
he made a move to carry it away. This
morning, while he was playing with the
baby the family heard the front door
slam and ran out after him, but he had
escaped taking the baby with him.
Running to the corner of Tenth and
Jackson streets he climbed into buggy,
which was waiting for him, and drove
west on Tenth avenue. The young
mother was frantic at the loss of her
baby, and telephoned Sheriff Lucas
about the occurrence. She was advised
to appear before the district court, which
she did, and habeas corpus papers were
issued charging Sipes to bring the child
the papers.
Mrs. Sipes and her husband were sep
arated about five months ago, but not
divorced. In speaking of the affair to-
day Mrs. Wycoff, mother of Mrs. Sipes,
said: I'VE are afraid that the baby will
die if it is not returned to its mother
at once. 1t has not been weaned, and
was sickly and under the doctors care.
When Sipes took it away it was bare
headed and dressed in a light Bingham
dress, and we are afraid he is going to
drive to some station outside of the
city and take the train for his home in
Nashville, Indiana. SipeS was worth
less, and did not work enough to take
care of his wife if she had been willing
to live with him, but he may have sent
to his father, who frequently furnishes
him with money for funds to carry out
this project. He thinks that by securing
the child he can force my daughter to
come back to him. We had allowed
him to come and see the baby because
we thought he would be satisfied to
leave it here. We were confident he
would steal it if we ordered MIN to stay
aWaV.n
