PREPARING TO DIE.

ligious faith and his firm belief
therefore in Immortality and it's
bleSsedness, either because he
breads to die or besause he has a
great, intense desire to die, he is
always making great preparation
for the dy ing day.
The Indianapolis FREEMAN in it's
last weeks issue presents a sign
iticant cartoon showing how our
people are pouring their money
into petty insurance companies,
which promise few dollars per
week during a limited i'll
ness and after death = burial Of
some sort. We are making all
preparations to die, providing for
doctor and medicine during ILL.,
ness, if illness there be, and for
the undertaken and sexton; of
the cemetery when death shall
come. We believe in insurance.
we believe in persons preparing
against the day of poor health,
but as matter of fact there are
Negroes who are working TO
keep up small insnr-
ance policies which are indis-
criminately placed in companies
which are dishonesty admins
tered. These same Negroes
have little to live upon and are
denying themselves many of the
necessities of life to pay the
weekly assesments which, if judi
lclously expended, would prolong
life preparation to die is all right
but preparation to live should
take the precedence.
Why should not our people get
homes? Get homes if only
small ones. A person with
family docs not realize what life
is nor does he appreciate the sig
nlficance of a home until he is
sheltered by his own roof, enclos-
ed upon piece of land which he
holds in his own right and title.
Ii there were more preparation
to live the day of our dying would
be postponed and would lose
much of its terror. We know of
persons who are keeping up four
or five of these small insurance
policies and in doing so must
struggle each week so that when
they die there is the inconsistent
spectacle-a gorgeous display
ana an elaborate funeral of an
lndlvuahwho had lived in the
olrest poverty. Homes are
what we need, less preparation
Tor dying and more prearation
for living.

intense respect for the dead or
death, so long as he can be be.

MAN WITHOUT A FRIEND
DIES IN COLUMBUS, O., PEN
Italian Is Liberated from Serving
Third Term by Hand of Death-Had
Been in Habit of Taking Seven
Grains of Morphine.
Publishers PressS

Columbus, =. JL.y 6.-Gradually
sinking ever since he was admitted
to the penitentiary, Frank Delano, 35.
an Italian, serving two years for
forgery from Hamilton county, died
in the prison hospital OF tuberculosis.
When Delano was admitted TO the
penitentiary about three months ago
he was in the habit of taking seven
grains of morphine each day, which is
sufficient to kill 20 ordinary men.
After being treated for a short time
for the drug habit, it was seen that
the convict had not long to live be-
cause tuberculosis was sapping his
life away. He was placed in the
tuberculosis ward, where he remained
until he died
Delano served two previous terms
in the penitentiary. He never COM
mitted any great crime and never
profited financially to any extent from
his thefts. When he entered the peni-
Tertiary the last time he seemed to
know that his days were numbered,
and had to be helped along to the
hospital, he was so weak
An aunt of Delano in Chicago is the
only known relative. She was not
notified, because it is believed that it
would be to no purpose. The convict
had no other relative or friend on
earth.

Rev. Morgan Injured.

Rev. S. NJ. Morgan. former pastor
of Snow Hill NJ. +. Church, and Rev
b. F. Jester, also well known in this
town and county, were both badly in
jured, by being thrown out of carriage
in Dover last Saturday. Their horse
took fright at several boys beating
symbals and ran away.
Mr.. Jester was dragged across the
dashboard and Dr. Morgan was thrown
violently to the ground. The wagon
turned completely over with both men
pinioned underneath. When they were
released both were unconscious and
bleeding freely. DR.. Morgan. badly
shaken up and bruised about the head,
was helped to his hotel. Mr.. Jester was
so badly bruised and shaken up that
his condition is considered extremely
serious. Both eyes were bruised and
bloody. his head was badly SCARED and
it is feared he is internally injured.
DIR. Morgan is gradually recovering
from his bruises and shake up, but
Mr.. Jester is yet in serious condition.

GORMAN A WEALTHY man.
His Personal Etsate Now Valued At Six
Hundred Thousand Dollar. No Ref
erenee To Real Estate Made.

For Is years the question as to the
exact size of the late Senator Arthur
7. Germans financial possessions has
been a theme of more or less curious
discussion among his friends, as well as
the general public. Senator German
was very secretive man in his meth
DDS, both in politics and business. and
it was always very well understood that
he had no confidants in money matters.
Therefore. the filing of the appraisers
report at Ellicott City revealing in sub
stance the actual wealth of the Sena-
tor, has excited widespread interest.
Senator German, who died last June.
left a personal estate of $6l2, 406 81.
according to the returns by the APP
praiser. Messrs. Hammond Dorsey and
Henry A. Penny. TO the Orphans Court
of Howard county. in which county Mr..
German maintained legal residence.
The statement is voluminous type
written document, and is recorded in
the office of Mr.. Richard Davis. Regis
ter Of Wills, at Ellicott City.
BY many persons Mr.. German was
considered a much richer man, and be-
fore his death he was reported at times
to be worth anywhere from two million
TO five million dollars.
