SOLOMON G. BROWN DEAD.
One of the Prominent Colored Men Of
the District

The death of Solomon G. Brown who had
been an attache of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition for many years, occurred Sunday
evening last at his residence on Elvin ave-
nue., Hfllsdale, after an Illness extending
over number of months. He was one of
the first settlers in the colored suburb now
known as Hillsdale and was seventy-four
years old. He was a native of this city
and when the District was under a terri
torial form of government he served three
years in one of the legislative branches
then in existence. He entered the service
of the government as an employee of the
Smithsonian Institution fifty-four years
ago, before this bureau was removed from
the patent office building.
When the civil war was over and the
Barry farm, now called HiIlsdale had been
purchased and opened for the settlement
of colored people by Gen. o. o. Howard
and others. Mr.. Brown determined to take
up his abode there among his people. He
went there to live In 1857, purchasing a
home that he subsequently took much pride
in, as he expended his efforts to make It
comfortable and attractive. Once settled
In the village, Mr.. Brown took up the ques-
ton as to how best he could aid his people
who were beginning to take up homes about
him. He gave much thought to their reli-
gious and moral upbuilding. Most Of the
settlers were freedmen, who were building
small homes and who needed advice and
counsel. This Mr. Brown gave freely
One of his first acts was the establish
ment of a missionary Sunday school This
he organized in frame building on Mount
Zion Hill, In Hillsdale, which had been
erected as a freedmens home He became
the first superintendent of this missionary
school. which he called the Pioneer Insti-
tute. Later the classes were removed to
a modern building on Nichols avenue which
is now used as an Episcopal chapel hav-
ing been purchased from the institute
Mr.. Brown was prolific writer of verse
and had published many of his poems. He
was a frequent attendant at the public
school and church exercises Of his section,
where he generally contributed to the pro-
gram with some literary composition, prin-
cipally verse. He was a member of. the
Fifteenth Street Presbyterian. Church in
this city The last several years Of his life
were quietly spent. as his health began to
fail him. and he occupied his time with the
writing of poems and "reminiscences. His
wife. Mrs Lucinda Brown, survives him.
Two years ago the couple observed their
golden wedding anniversary. when they
were the recipients of many beautiful gifts,
notably from the employees of Mr. Browns
department. His funeral will be held to-
morrow afternoon, beginning at 2 o'clock,
from his late home. Rev. Francis J..
Grimke, the pastor of the Fifteenth Street
Presbyterian Church. will officiate. The

WASHING THE RED0UILTS.
Choose a Sunny Day and Do Not
Spare Waters Used in Cleans
ing and Rinsing.

AS to the best method of washing
euilts, have had several washed by a
cofored laundress. who made living by
washing bed clothes. She said: Choose
dry, sunny day for the work, and be-
gin early in the morning, SO that they
will have plenty Of time to dry. wash
ing machine and wringer seem almost
indispensable, yet every housewife
doesn't have them. This woman washed
them both ways, with and without ma
chine.
Heat the water until hot, using rain
water, and dissolve enough Gold Dust
washing powder to make a strong suds.
Pour this into the machine or tub
which ever you have. Put the quilt in
the machine and work vigorously for
ten minutes, then pass it through the
wringer. Change the soiled suds for
clean and wash again. Three rinse
waters will be necessary. A little blue
ing may be added at the last Hang the
quilt on the line, turn the edge over Just
enough to hold it, and fasten thoroughly
with clothespins.
When the quilt is dry it is ready to
use. l know several wealthy men liv-
ing in the city who prefer light quilt
for covering in the fall and spring. They
say they love the old-time memory OF
them, when they were light-hearted boys

RELIEVING THE BRAIN.
To Relieve Nervous System Of It's
Tension, Persistent Use of Mus
cles System Eecommended.

The persistent use of the muscular
system is well calculated to relieve the
brain and nervous system Of their ten
sion, says DR.. H. j. Hall, in Good
Housekeeping. 1t is also true that
manual work pleases and satisfies the
mind when it's results are good All
this becomes clearer when we realize
how vainly We may seek relief from
nervous fatigue IN physical rest, or
even in recreatiOns Of the ordinary
sort. The quiet room or the quiet hill
side, SO suggestive of rest and peace.
these are too often impotent in the
presence of carking care. One reason
for this failure is that the brain and
the body are commonly not tired in
what is called nervous exhaustion, but
are only irritated, while the sense OF
fatigue which is so misleading is mere
ly the result of that irritation and may
be termed a psychic fatigue. Under
these circumstances it is easy to IN
derstand that it is change. not neces-
sarily physical rest, which is SO sorely
needed.

HANDMADE LINGERIE.
Than Too Much Elaboration Of
Machine-Made Sort.

The rage for haDdWork which has
been SO pronounced in all other parts
of fashions realm, has, of course. not
passed the undergarments by. Every
thing worn by a fashionable woman OF
to-day is made by hand. including all
her outer garments, heterogeneous
her shoes and stockings, her jewelry
and even her umbrella handles. reticulee
and purses. But Of all these things, per-
haps, the under garments are most
rightfully included among the necessa
rily hand wrought. Beautiful undergar-
mentS cannot now, be made by machine.
Better plain, fine garments made by
hand than elaborate ones made by ma
chine. Here is a realm into which the
amateur seamstress may we'll enter be-
cause it is far more possible for the
woman of ordinary ability as a seam
stress to learn to make her own under
garments than to make satisfactory
outer clothing. The work is also more
interesting and agreeable.
Indeed. since the passion for hand
made under-gar1nents has become Sc
widespread many girls who could not
possibly afford to buy French underwear
have learned to make their own. Time,
patience and skill are more necessary
than much money in this pursuit. for
very narrow lace really looks prettier
than wide, expensive lace, and hand en-
broidery costs only infinite patience and
skill, and-this is just by way Of eau
t1on-eyesight. Embroidering on white
with white thread, even plain needle
work, on these fine, white garments is
hard on the eyes if pursued too steadily.
1t should be done with care and only in
q good light, and the embroidery should
be dropped when found to be affecting
the eyes. Better no trimming on ones
underwear; better machine-made under
wear than rained eyes.
Handwork, however. despite this eau
tions is the constant cry Of the new un-
derwear. Embroidery is supplemented
with lace motifs. lace entredeux and lace
fiounces. The English eyelet embroidery
has been quite fashionable for two years.
but 1t has never taken the place of
French embroidery.-Chi Record
