wife of Henry Leonard, and best
known 10 her friends as ''Willie,' at
her former home in John street.
ROBBED in her wedding gown, lying on

Willie, sweet, childlike and innocent
as a girl and woman, is a Borrowing
husband, mother and grandmother,
to whom we extend our deepest sym
pathy.

bride, Yesterday she was carried into
the church, wearing the same beauti-
full robes. but silent in the casket, the
bride of Death, with a Borrowing
husband left to mourn her departure.

MODERN PURITANS.
Rulers Of 1iehmo,d, Va, Are Cen
sors Of "Ads."

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Rich-
mond, Va, has become a hot competi-
tor of Washington, d. c., as the most
virtuous-not to say straight-laced-
town in the United States. The capt.
tai of the nation is exceedingly strict
in all matters Of propriety, such as
theater posters and improper per-
formances. This is due largely to
the fact that two of the three men,
bers of the district commission, by
which the city Is governed. are prom
inent members of the Y. M. c. A.
Henry B. f. Mcfarland has long
been prominent in this good work and
Henry Lichfeld West is almost as
prominent in church work.
But Richmond. Va, has gone two
steps ahead of the virtue of Wash
ington. This city has barred dummy
stocking holders in shop windows,
and a tobacco advertising picture
representing a lady trapeze artist
swinging by her knees. In Rich
mond, henceforth. stockings must be
displayed limp and untitled; and to-
be.cco ads must keep their heels on
the ground, and wear skirts to their
shoe tops.
