Killed Wife and Self.

Despondent because Of long continued Ill.
ness OF both himself and wife, and also de.
pressed BY series of other misfortunes
Charles g. Forster, clerk employed at the
White House, Washington, shot his wife,
Elizabeth Forster, through the brain on
Sunday last and then killed himself. The
tragedy took place in their home at Ken.
slngton, this county, but as they lived alone
no one heard the shots, and the bodies were
not discovered until Monday morning. A
searching party, headed by Mayor Corne-
Illus Eckhart and Alton W. Cornwell, broke
into the Forster home and found the couple
lying almost side by side on the floor Of
their bedroom, their heads in pools of blood,
while revolver with two empty chambers
lay near Mr.. Forster's hand.
Justice Of the Peace Charles ). Nichols
summoned jury, and after hearing all the
evidence, they gave verdict of murder and
suicide.
Until two weeks ago the Forsters were
staying with Mr.. Forster's father, Herman
Forster, s1S Fifth street southeast, having
been in Washington all winter so that Mrs.
Forster could receive proper medical treat
ment. Mrs. Forster was q great sufferer,
and last winter she underwent two or more
operations. This weighed greatly on her
husbands mind. Some weeks ago, how.
ever, she decided that she was we'll enough
to go out to Kensington. Forster accord.
ingly visited his home, and discovered that
water pipes had burst during the winter and
done considerable damage, and also that
thieves had visited the premises and carried
away some property.
For the next few days bis fellow employees
In the White House Offices noticed that be
seemed more cast down than usual, and be
referred many times to his losses. The
house was finally repaired, and two weeks |
ago they came out. On March 18th they en-
gagged board at the home Of Alton W. Corn
well, Of Kensington, and took their meals
there until dinner at noon on Sunday last.
1t Is believed that Mr.. Forster had the
tragedy planned while eating this meal, for
uPOu AiSiuB hOtu tuc thOlo uo tOlu MT. OOfn- |
well that If he and his wife did not return
In short time he would know they were In |
Washington. When the couple did not appear
Tor breakfast Monday morning Mr.. Corn.
well became alarmed, and recalling several
recent conversations in which Forster had |
limited vaguely at suicide, he called in Mayor
Eckhart and Town Marshal Wagner, and |
an investigation was begun, which resulted
IN discovering the dead bodies.
Forster had not removed his overcoat be. |
fore committing the double crime. A bullet |
hole just above his right eye showed how he
met death. Mrs. Forster had evidently been |
winding an alarm clock when the shot |
which ended her life was fired. The clock |
was tightly clutched in one OF her hands,
and was still running. She was shot from |
behind, the bullet entering at the base of |
The brain.
Forster had been $1,000 clerk at the
White House since July last. He also
worked at the Executive Mansion several
years prior to that time on an assignment

In Momoriam,

On the evening of the 18th Of March, 1904
Sadie O. Matthews, daughter Of Mrs. Arthur
Mullican, of Derwood, this county, sweetly
and quietly passed away at Martinez Arr.
iona, where she had gone recently Tor her

| aunt, Mrs. A. b. Raft. Owing to her i'll.
ness, tuberculosis, she was compelled to re-
sign the office Of President Of the Christian
Endeavor In Washington and leave the city.
Her remains we're brought to- Washington

1.-THE know her was to love her." 1t would
be In vain TO try and put In words what she
was. In every sense of the word she was
good and pure, always loving, kind and
cheerful. She had bright smile and kind
word for every one with whom she came In
contact. Hers was nature that saw the
sunny side OF life, and II ever cloud came
she never failed TO find the silver lining. Her
bright, happy disposition won the love OF
all who knew her. Kind, considerable and
gracious to every one she met, she won for
herself position Of popularity among her
friends. The smiling face and cheerful
laughter with which she always greeted her
friends, and her lovable disposition, with lite
elements OF tenderness and sympathy, can
never be forgotten.
Yet, when life seemed Its very brightest,
God in His wisdom saw at TO pluck this
lovely flower, and ere the close OF evening
her beautiful life ended, and she was not,
Tor God took her TO adorn His Mansion, and
now she has joined the Church Triumphant
and sings In the Heavenly choir the songs
she loved so much. She was called away be-
lore even the shadow of sorrow had fallen on
her pathway, and now Is forever at rest and
happy In the beautiful beyond. Although
her dear lace ia gone, her angel spirit will
ever finger around her loved ones and friends
Our dear one is not dead, she has passed
through the silence into the rest beyond.
The blessed privilege has been given her 10
walk In those great pastures and beside the
still waters OF the paradise of God. That
day has come TO her when at eventlde II shall
be light.
Her loved ones have the sincerest sympa.
thy OF all who knew her, and may they
humbly look 10 the All wise Father, who
cannot err, the source of all comfort, the
glver OF every good and perfect GIT.
Forever they are fading,
Our beautiful, our bright,
They gladden. US q little while,
Then pass away from sight.
A little while we're parted
From those who love Us best
Who gain the goal before Us
And enter into rest.
Forever and forever,
To dwell among the blest,
Where sorrows never trouble,
The deep eternal rest
When one by one we gather
Beneath our Fathers smile,
And Heavens sweet forever
browns earths sad little while

Layhill, Md, on March 18th, 1904, Miss
Amanda V. Easton, aged 30 years and 8
days. At half past three the Death Angel
came and took our loved one home.
She had been an earnest worker In her

member while quite young. She was highly
esteemed In the neighborhood where she
lived, and will be greatly missed by all who
knew her. II may be said Of her 80 truly
that
"None knew her but to love her,
None named her but TO praise"
She leaves TO mourn her loss four brothers
and three sisters, and number of relatives

Another link in our home is broken,
Another soul is safe at rest,
Another soul TO live with Jesus
ln that home Of happiness.
One dear girl has left US,
One dear girl has suffered too,
One dear girl we will e'er remember
The many sorrows she's passed through
Farewell, dear Amanda, may your Stun
bers
BE as gentle as your love,
And when God will call us homeward,
May we meet In Heaven above.
Her remains were laid to rest 10 tho Gem.
etery adjoining the church which she 30
dearly loved.
