Discharged Month Ago.

L month ago, N company with
eight other old employees, Flowers
was discharged from the service for
old age, and he was a changed man.
He appeared deeply hurt that any
one could say he was useless when he
was so willing and anxious 10 work
and was in good bodily health. Hour
after hour he would sit at the win
dow broOding over his troubles and
his family became very much wor-
ried. His post had been the vista
10 a pleasant little world. and he
had become very fond of his duties
and liked the meeting with prOmi-
nent men in public life. all of whom
knew him and had a CHEEKY word.
The heroes of the nation were his
friends, and after he was forced
from Office he missed them.
Tried TO Cheer Him Up.
HIS wife and family sought TO divert
the old mans mind from his troubles by
trips about the city and 10 neighboring
resorts But in vain. HIS heart and life
were in the stately pile on Pennsylvania
avenue, and nothing else could interest
him. Then. too. he was worried about
his comrades who had shared his fate.
Again and again he expressed his anx-
iety for them, fearing that they and
their families would suffer from want
A short time ago he received a letter
from one Of the discharged men, Ia
which his friend from Maryland ex-
pressed the belief that there was no
hope Of reinstatement for them. Their
hackers were gone and there was no one
willing 10 put old men back in office.
From that hour the old man steadily
failed. He refused nourishment and the
family became greatly alarmed and
called IN physicians They could not
discover any signs Of disease, however.
and could do nothing, for the old man
was dying OF a broken heart He had
lost the incentive for life with his post
as watchman and no physician could
help his troubles.
Died of Broken Heart.
Yesterday rather Unexpectedly he died
and his last words were filled with the
bitterness Of the blow The doctors
say his death was caused by heart fail
ure. but his wife, who stood helplesSly
by. says It was OF a broken heart.
Gustavus Flowers was a direct de-
scendant OF Samuel Chase, one Of the
signers of the Declaration Of Independ-
ence. and other prominent Maryland
families. his grandfather being a cap
tain In the Maryland line Of the Conti-
mental troops. He was born TN Maze
moy. Charles county Md, August >,
1872. After a good course in the county
schools he served his State faithfully as
farmer. merchant. school trustee. and
postmaster. In 1883 he came 10 Wash
ington as an appOintee Of Senator Cor
man.

THE FISHING CASE
NOT so BAD AS IT MIGHT BE
Though Property Is Protected From

II Is to be hoped that the fishermen
Of the state will accept the final decis-
ion of the Supreme Court in the fish
case in the proper spirit, and that
there will be 80 attempt at foolish
measures of so-caled retaliation, says
the Leadyille Herald Democrat We
see II stated that some Sportsmen had
declared that il the decision was
against the fishermen they would in
stitute other proceedings and drive the
state fish commission out Of business.
All this would be extremely unwise,
because II would injure the fishermen
themselves and accomplish no good re-
suit.
As a matter OF fact the decision OF
the Supreme Court in the case prop
crly understood Is not against the fish.
crmcu. II is the simple assertion on
the part of the court of the rights OF
property and its protection against

low that every owner OF property
through which trout stream lean
dcrs is going TO post dogs aud senii.
nels So as to keep fishermen away II
doesn't imply that every ranchman in

that one individual in a thousand will

The Pueblo Chicftain sums up the
situation thus
III the fishermen had always been
reasonably and deCcnlly considerable OF

probable that this question would

Mr.. Hearst's highwayman atti-

at time Of party decentralization,
for the indignity implied in the hold
up would be bitterly resented by the
party rank and file in any ordinary
time. 1t does not matter what a
candidates popular strength may
be, how formidable may be his
claims to political honors when such
man confrOnts a party and says,
The nomination or III shoot, he
places the party where it must wal
low in humiliation if it delivers the
goods. The first conspicuous New
York Democrat to place their aspect
of the situation before the Demo
cratic voters is Judge Parker. The
former presidential candidate was
probably as well suited as any one to
the task of checking Hearst move
ment, for, while he was severely de
feated in 1904 and is no longer recOg-
nized as the national leader, he is not
without dignity and prestige in the
Empire State. Judge Parker's in

seems most timely.-Springfield
