Dr. Harry Martyr Brace, mayor of
this city, died at twenty minutes be-
fore 8 o'clock last night, at his home,
179 High street, in the forty-seventh
year of his age, only five hours after
he had gone to his bed for the last
time.
The end came peacefully with his
wife, mother and other relatives at
his bedside.
The indomitable will and courage
which had marked his every action
since the invincible kidney trouble,
Bright's disease, had secured its hold
upon him, remained with him until
the final collapse.
DR.. Brace was up and about the
house yesterday until $3.50 o'clock
when he felt more badly and was
helped to his room. His strength
seemed TO desert him and he sank
upon the bed He went into a deep
sleep and thus his spirit took flight.
None of the attending physicians
was at the bedside when the came,
but DR.. J. l.. Lund and DR.. w. e.
Ramsay had been there but a short
while previously, as had also Dr.
William Stratford, of New York, a
former instructor of Dr. Braces when
the latter was at college, and now a
professor in the College of the City
of New York
Mayor Brace breathed his last
while the board of aldermen, with
n ha hnnn nct
co-worker for the city's interests, was
in session. Word was communicated
and an adjournment was taken out
of respect.
The funeral will be held Thursday
afternoon, Washington birthday, at
2 O'Clock, from the First Presbyter-
ian church. Rev. James H. Northrup,
pastor of the church, and, it is ex
pected, Rev. Harlan G. Mendenhall,
DID,, former pastor of the church,
will officiate. An Elks' service will
be held in conjunction, at the church,
and the Red Men may take some part
in the services at the grave. 1t was
one of Mayor Braces last requests
that the Elks take a part at his fun
eral. Interment will be made in AL
pine cemetery.
Flags are at half-mast at all the
city buildings and schools and on
many private buildings and resi-
dences throughout the city. City hall
and the fire houses are being draped
in black.
Sentiments of the deepest sorrow
are being everywhere voiced at the
loss which the city has sustained.
Mayor Braces illness began to take
definite form early in the summer He
went away for several weeks stay
in the nealthgiving air of the Della
ware Water Gap country, followed by
the trip home by auto in short stages.
The full recovery which had been
hoped for was soon seen to be re-
mote, however, and DR.. Braces own
knowledge and that of other physi-
clans and specialists told him that
his kidneys were in the throes of
Bright's disease.
He continued, however, to attend
to his medical practice and his of
fetal duties until a few weeks ago,
only relinquishing his hold when it
became only too evident that his con-
dition demanded it. Even then he
never lost his interest in the affairs
of the city and signed the city war
rants approved by the aldermen and
water commissioners, although AL
derman-at-Larg Pfeiffer could and
would have done so in his stead.

OLD TIeHTFlsT NOT CAUGHT.
Clevs Ruse to Secure Eraught OF
Beer Was Wasted

Near Vineland, n. j., there lived
German farmer who brewed his own
beer, the superiority of which he was
continually proclaiming, though no
other person ever enjoyed an oppor-
tunity of testing its merits. A young
neighbor made wager that h could
trick the farmer into giving him
taste of the much-vaunted drink The
youth visited the German one Sunday
afternoon and the conversation was
deftly stored around to home brewed
beer The young man ooasted that
mis- father brewed beer that could not
be equaled. TIE farmer at once We
hmently ordered up a mag oil his own
fayorite brew When i, Appeared, the
German raised it to his ps, and, the
other hand pressing his stomach,
drank every drop without taking
breath. Then holding the empty mug
to the disappointed young fellow he
said, gravely:

MALICE IN CONC VALENTINES.
Philadelphia Judge Declares Missives
Are Offensive.

The Philadelphia comic valentine
case has reached another interesting
stage 1t began with the sending Of
the offending missiye last February
and was then enliyened by the recip
tents lawyer demanding that the
sender be brought into court to an
swer to the charge OF criminal libel
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Both
the complainant and defendant are
women and related by marriage and
the proceedings show an added bitter
ness on this account. Several months
after the charge was made the grand
Jury returned bin of indictment and
then the lawyer for the defendant
filed demurrer to have this lndict-
ment quashed But the Judge refused
to sustain It. He declared that yalen-
tines of the character Of the one under
discussion, In which the recipient was
alluded to as a scandalmonger, a busy
body mischiefmaker and a person
of unrestrained mendacity, afford am
pie grounds for suits of the character
instituted and that when such libel
GUS valentine leaves the sender's pos
session 1t IS clearly in circulation ac-
cording to the letter of the law.
1t is possible that this Philadelphia
case will prove warning and de-
terrent for those persons who under
the cloak of anonymity use The So
called comic valentine as means of
venting their malice. If so, it viii not
be prosecuted in vain.

Travels Of WINGED Seeds.

Most persons probably think that
winged seeds from trees travel to
great distances on the wind. But the
studies of DR.. Ridley, of the botanic
gardens, at Singapore, indicate that
winged seeds have a far narrower

and plumed seeds The greatest dis

with him on friend that owned a
cat. In fact, wouldn't take him call
ing at all, to see him run around my
friends house and chew up a pair Of
rubbers or anything else he might
fancy.
Il wouldn't permit him to jump on
a callers dress, leaving his dirty foot
prints on her best gown, and some
times tearing it with his paws.
Il wouldn't tie him up and go off
for the day, while he made life miser-
able for the neighbors with his steadN
bowling.
Il wouldn't take him shopping and
get him mixed up with all the other
shoppers.
Il wouldn't permit him to hop on
the seat beside me in a car, 50 that
the next woman who sat down after
he had vacated would cover her gown
with dog hairs and probably take on
Ued or TWO.
Il wouldn't interrupt conversation
to call attention to how cunningly he
cooked his head on one side or how
white his teeth showed when he
yawned.
Il wouldn't permit him to salute me
with his tongue, and then say rap
turously, See how he kisses met

deeds in killing cats, and make no
