Highland Boy Dies'in Newark N J

Highland boy U'es III i1ewa'kN1
Tuesday afternoon the family Of
Mrs. O. E. SulIenberger received a
telegram announcing the sudden
death, on the previousnight, Of Mr..
Lynn Sullenberger, at the home Of
his adoption, Newark, New jersey.
1t 10 needless to say that the mes
sage came as great shock to his
family and friends here. Lynn
was a son of Mrs. 0. EfSullenberg-
err, Of Vanderpool, and one Of
large family of boys.n7 He was
born at Monterey and made
his residence here until manhood.
During those early years he made
many warm friends, who are grew
ed to hear Of bis unexpected death.
Lynn was printer by trade and
has been employed at Newark for
several years..
His brother, Carl -Sullenb erger,
stationed at Fort Hunt, near Wash.
ington, D. c., was communicated
with by the friends here and went
to Newark to take charge Of the
body, which was expected to reach
Stauntoh early this morning.
The body was met at West Au-
gusta to-day-Thursday-by un-
dertaker, Paul Slaven, and will be
brought to Monterey for burial,
We have heard no particulars Of
this sad death, but it is recalled BY
many that Mr.. Sullenberger, in
early life, was afflicted with heart
trouble, and it is supposed that his
death was due to that.
Lynn was about 33 years of age.
A letter received today by Mrs
Sullenberger states that death was
due to asphyxiation, the gas escap-
ing by accident, from stove.
The funeral will take place
from the Methodist church Friday
morning at IL o'clock.

Of them very much, he would like TO
see them comfortably married. IL have

marries. Then comes Bet. she is more
than thirty-fve, and she will get SO 900

Washington City on it's way to Car
Isle. Pa, to attend the annual com
mencement exercises Of the Indian
school there.
With the party, which included
some members of both houses of Con
gress and few officials OF the Indian
service, were the fearless, forcible
Fftzhugh Lee, and that knightly
Christian soldier, Major-General o. o.
Howard.
Naturally the two old veterans,
serving on opposite sides OF our coun-
trys most desperate war, found much
in common to talk over and discuss:
and were together during the entire
trip.

In their conversation from time to

structive and entertaining.
From present events their conversa-
ton drifted back to the heroic days of
the civil war, and they fought over
again many Of its battles. Then they
recalled old days at West Point. when
Howard was an instructor and had
"Fitz" as his pupil.
DO you remember" said General
Howard, the time at the Point that
induced you to attend chapel serv-
ices?"
Yes" answered General Lee. but

you"
Again their conversation was about
the war, and its decisive battles, and
to the wonderful changes since those
tragic days of els.
They had discussed the Industrial
conditions Of the country, and General
Lee seemed unusually we'll informed
as to the needs and opportunities of
the South.

General Lee, "but / wish you would

gatta season at Cowes, it meant one
more distinguished American woman
to be admitted to the Kings circle.
Mrs. Potter Palmer never does
things by halves, and this was never
more thoroughly demonstrated than
when she arranged the marriage be-
tween her niece. Miss Julia Dent
Grant, and the Russian Prince Can
tacuZene. 1t was one of the most bril-
liant matrimonial achievements the
social world has ever known, and, I'M
like so many similar affairs, the union
has turned out to be a supremacy

When Mrs. Potter Palmer deter

Cowes last year she leased the his

nous beauty spot, the Isle of Wight.
Everybody who is anybody in English
society goes down for the regatta sea-

and society 1ocks at the royal heels.
This recalls that the interior of
Egypt House is splendid example of
the simple luxury which prevails in so
many old English houses. Several
years ago it was leased by Consuelo,
Dowager Duchess of Manchester. The
Duchess is one of the Oldest friends Of
King Edward, and during the season
that she was mistress of Egypt House
she was the Kings hostess on more
than one occasion.
The Duchess had the old place done
over in anticipation of the Kings COM

A vH.im of Russian severity who

mainly by gestures. Prisoners com
municate with each other by knocking
on the walls of their cells, so many
times for each letter But even this
is sternly repressed by the authorities,
and captives detected in the practice
are liable TO severe punishment.
