PASSED CENTURY MARK
Mary McAfee Died at Ashla nd
Aged l0I.

There died in Ashland, Tuesday
night, at II O'Clock lady, whose age
is placed from reliable data at 10l
years. Her name was Miss Mary
MoAfee. but she had been known by
relatives and friends for score of
years past, as Aunt Polly. She went
to Ashland from Iowa ON the 10th day
of April with the family Of +. L.
JORDAN, with whom she was related.
She was adopted by Mrs. Jordan's
grandfather. Geo. Burns, at Brad
ford, Pennsylvania, when 12 years Of
age, and was living with tho third
generation of the Burns family at the
time of her death. In 1859 she ac-
companied members of the family to
Iowa, that state only having been ad.
mitted TO the Union few years be-
fore. Her recolloctions OF pioneer
days in the old Keystone state were
quite vivid and dated from the earliest
years OF the last century. She had
attended school but three years in her
life, when sho walked a distance Of
five miles to and from Bradford. Her
mental faculties remained clear up to
the time Of her death and her rela-
tiyes do not recall any time in which
she could be said to havo been in her
second childhood. The trip TO Ash
land from Iowa was made by her with
less tiresome effects than with either
Of the other younger members OF the
family. On account of tho cold
weather in that state she was very
anxious to come to Oregon. She had
not been i'll since reaching Ashland
and death came to her as quietly and
with as little apparent pain as II she
had lain down for nights slumber.
The funeral occurred Thursday
morning from the Jordan residence on
Pennsylvania avenue. Deceased had
been member OF the Baptist church
for the past 60 years. and Rev. r.
McKillop, Of that denomination. con.
dnoted the services Interment was
made in Ashland cemetery. -Tidings.

WOMANS RELIEF C0RPS
Brief History of the Order and Its
Work.

The Woman's Relief Auxiliary to
the Grand Army of the Republic. is
the largest benefcient and patriotic
organization of women in the world,
numbering now almost $50, 900 mem
bers. Organized in 1888, following a
cal! by Commapder.in.C Chief Paul Van
Der WORT, with small band of
charter members, it has grown to
magnificent proportions, in numbers
and infiunece, and in the streams of
bounty which have been poured out
through the treasury in many deserv-
ing channels. The strongest and best
women of the nation have been proud
to have their names upon its rolls.
All loyal women are eligible to mem
bership in the Women's Relief Corps.
Its aims and objects as found in Rules
and Regulations are as follows:
To specially aid and assist the
Grand Army of the Republic. and to
perpetuate the memory of their heroic
dead.
To assist such Union Veterans as
need our help and protection. and to
extend needful aid to their widows
and orphans. To find them homes and
employment, and assure them of sym
pathy and friends. To cherish and

Nurses, and of all loyal women who
rendered loving service to our country
in her hour of peril.
To maintain true allegiance to the
United States of America; to incul'
cate lessons of patriotism and love Of
country among our children and in
the communities in which we live ;
and encourage the spread of universal
liberty and equal rights to all.
This organization was the first to
introduce the salute to the flag in the
public schools and to make the OBJ
servance of Flag Day general, by pre-
pairing and carrying out suitable pro-
grams.
There are two salutes to the flag
taught in the schools, the one for the
older scholars being; 81 pledge alle-

SHOOTS HUSBAND
IN HIS SALOON
Mrs. w. j. Burns, in a Jealous
Rage, Puts Two Bullets
in Mr.. Burns Hip.

The disgraceful scenes which have
lately caused frequent police interfer-
ence in the saloon of WilliamsJ. Burns,
1876 East Seventh street, eliminated in
a shooting affray last night.
Mrs. Burns, wife of the saloonkeeper,
incensed beyond reason, fired two shots
at her husband, seriously injuring him
in the hip and thigh. Both bullets hit
him.
According to James Kelley, the bar
tender at Burns saloon, Mrs. Burns
was called to the saloon by telephone,
and arrived at the place at about 1890,
with her boy, aged eight. She and
Burns were sitting in the private office
when Burns called Kelley in to answer
the telephone Mrs. Burns was sitting
near the telephone and could hear the
conversation that was going on over
the wires.
A woman asked if Burns was in the
saloon, and he took the telephone from
the bartender. Something that passed
| over the instrument clearly reused Mrs.
Burns to the fury of madness, for she
seized revolver and shot twice at her
husband after which she took her boy
| by the hand and ran out into the street.
Burns ran as far as the lavatory,
where he fell in heap. bleeding pro-
fusely. The police surgeon was imme-
diately summoned and the wounded
| man removed to st. Joseph's hospital.
Mrs. Burns ran as far as the Rocka-
way restaurant, on Jackson street,
where she informed the manager of the
shooting and told him to telephone to
Burns saloon and tell them that she
was there. She was arrested by Off
Ger Hall and sent to the central sta
ton.
On her own behalf the woman was
