A Naval Officer Takes Our Girl

Last Monday evening at eight o clock
our city witnessed one of the most
brilliant and unique weddings ever
given in our City. 1t was the maria &c
OF Miss Beatrice Helen Hicklin to U.
s. Naval Officer John C. Jordan of
Porto Rico. Those who were present
OF the forty or more guests enjoyed
the beautiful and solemn wedding
ceremony SO effectively pronounced
by Rev. w. s. Brooks OF the A. M. E.
Church. The bride was beautifully
gowned in white swiss organdy with
real lace. The groom wore bright
navy blue military style showing his
official naval rank, that of chief gun
ner's mate Of the United States Navy,
having the unique honor OF firing the
first in Manila Bay under Admiral
Dewey, he having been on the flag
ship Olympia. Having served more
than 20 years he is now stationed
with the Ordinance Department at the
~. S. Naval Station at Cnlebra. Porto
Rico. The wedding occurred at the
beautiful home of the brides sister,
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. I. Holt. Mrs. VIM.
COaisOn played the MedelsshOn we'd
ding march through the ceremony.
There were no attendants. After the
ceremony a four course supper was

ance ripened into friendship and

Carol Adams Cannot Be Re-
stored to Health Under a
Year and Perhaps More.
WILL ALWAYS BE CRIPPLE.
THE BEST TO. BE HOPED FOR is
THAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO
WALK WITH THE USE OF
CRUTCHES.
Cincinnati Post.)

Little Carol Adams, the 7-year-olt
Hagerstown 0nd) boy who wa!
brought to Cincinnati to be operated
on for diseased hip. which has made
him helpless cripple, is in the Chill
dren's hospital, Mt Auburn. Physi
clans say he will have to remain there
a year, and possibly three or four.
Carol is the little boy who has beer
trying to win a pony and cart in a
newspaper contest. He was going to
sell the pony and cart and use the pro
ceeds to pay for the operation.
An X-ray examination of his hips
showed them both to be in a badly dis.
eased condition. The bone and sock
ct in the right hip were badly eaten
away by the tubercular germ. while
the left hip was in such an acute con-
dition that the doctors deemed it adyis-
able to delay the operation.
So, little Carol is waiting in the
hospital for the surgeons knife to re-
lieve him of his suffering.
No matter how successful the opera
ton may be. the doctors say he will
always be cripple. There will be alb
solutely no motion in his hips, but he
will be able to walk with the aid of
crutches.
When Carol arrived in Cincinnati ev-
erything was new to him. He had
never seen big crowds of people, big
buildings and street cars. The whole
thing worked upon his nerves. and in
his feeble condition he cried. When he
was placed on the examining table in
the doctors office, he screamed He
has become used to his surroundings
at the hospital. however, and now takes
everything philosophieally. The. as
surances that he will be made better
make him happy.
Carols trip to Cincinnati was made
possible by a Cincinnati woman, who
refuses to give her name. She paid
the expenses of the boy and his mother
and father for their trip to Cincinnati
In addition she paid the costs of an ex-
animation by an expert surgeon before
the boy was taken to the hospital

citizens, died early this morning nc
Minneapolis. Mimi. at the home OF his

whom he had been visiting for the past
two months. Death was due to urae-
mic poisoning. following an illness
which began several weeks ago. IL
was not until last week. however. that
Mr.. Kates' condition was deemed
alarming. His decline since last Fri
day had been rapid and death was not
unexpected. though the announcement
comes as a decided shock to the family
and multitude of friends in Rich
mond.
Left Here In July.
Early in July Mr.. and Mrs. Kates
went to Minneapolis to spend the sum-
mer with their daughter, Mrs. G. II.
Roberts, and Mr.. Kates, who had not
been in robust health for some time.
appeared to be much improved during
the early part of his sojourn in the
northwest. Even after his more serI-
Gus illness began 1t was believed that
he would speedily recover, but his ad-
vanced age, 40. probably found him
without the necessary powers of recu-
peration.
Last Friday. his son, III. s. KateA.
Jr.. left for Minneapolis on the receipt
Of telegram that his fathers condi-
tion was precarious and he was with

Mrs. Ross White, North 4
Street, Came Very Near
Ending Her Life.
A CHANCE TO RECOVER.
1T is UNDERSTOOD THAT THE
WOMAN'S ACTION WAS DUE TO
SOME FAMILY TROUBLE-NA-
TURE NOT GIVEN.

Tiring of life Mrs. Ross White.
aged 81 years. residing in an alley
running from North Third street to
North Fourth street and between
Main and North A streets, drank over
an ounce of carbolic acid. Tuesday
afternoon about 3 80 O'Clock but is
still living. Just before noon Mrs.
White Decame conscious but as yet
she has given no explanation for her
act, being too weak TO talk. DR..
Robert Hopkins, the attending physi-
clan, states that the woman has a
bare chance of recovery. He says
that the fact that anyone could drink
nearly two ounces of carbolic acid
and live as long as Mrs. White has, is
most remarkable and that the fact
that the woman has chance to re-
cover makes the case a still more re-
markable one. 81 was astonished that
she recovered consciousness, said
DIR. Hopkins.
Called for Help.
Mrs. White lives with her daughter,
Mrs. Merle Carter and her sister, Mrs.
Mary Gilbert Both Mrs. White and
Mrs. Gilbert are employed in a Main
street restaurant. They go on duty
every afternoon about 4 O'Clock. Tues
day afternoon about 80 Mrs. Gilbert
was upstairs dressing to go to work.
Suddenly she heard her sister call to
her in a most agoniZed manner for
~,
stairs and as she entered the living
room she detected the strong odor of
carbolic acid. Rushing into the room
she found Mrs. White reclining in a
chair, her face distorted with pain.
Mrs. White soon passed into merciful
and Mrs. Gilbert
summoned Drs. Zimmerman and Hop
kins. DIR. Zimmerman arrived first
and worked with the woman until the
arrival of DR.. Hopkins, the family ply
sician, an hour later.
Due to Family Trouble.
Mrs. Gilbert states that there was
kept in the house four ounce bottle
of carbolic acid which was used for
domestic purposes. At the time of
the attempted suicide this bottle was
about half full and Mrs. White drank
over half of the remaining contents.
1t is thought she drank from the bot
tie. Mrs. Gilbert stated to DIR. Hop
kins that she thought her sister tried
to end her life because of some family
troubles, the nature of which she did
not disclose. DR.. Hopkins states that
Mrs Whites mouth throat and stom-
ach are terribly burned

1t Is Believed He Could Be
Benefited by Treatment
At That Place.
is AGAIN IN CUSTODY.
THE AFFLICTED MAN WAS AT
ONE TIME ONE OF THE WELL
KNOWN BALL PLAYERS OF THE
COUNTRY.

Richard Van Zant, who is thought
to be mentally unbalanced, is again
being held at the city jail for safe
keeping. 1t is probable that he will
be sent to the Martinsville sanatarium
for treatment as it is thought his con-
dition can be benefited there. Several
of Van Zant's friends have interested
themselves in his case and they have
decided that it is best to send him to
Martinsville for a few weeks in the
hope that the treatment there will re-
store him to his normal mental condi-
tion. If Mrs. Van Zant consents to
this plan it will be carried out. At
police headquarters she talked OF hav-
ing an inquest held over him.
Van Zant has been acting peculiarly
for some time. Last Saturday even
ing he became quite violent and SO
alarmed his mother, Mrs. Weber, and
his wife that they had the police take
him into custody. Sunday morning,
at Mrs. Van Zant's ard the attending
physicians request Van Zant was re-
leased from the city Jail, where he had
worked himself into frenzy. Sunday
afternoon Van Zant asked his wife TO
go with him to the ball game she
said that she did not want to. He was
then seized with another violent spell
and seizing large knife hurled it in
to wall The police were then sum-
moned again but before the officers
had arrived Van Zant quieted down
and his wife took him to the ball
game. The sport at which he was
formerly such an adept, apparently
greatly benefited him.
Placed in Custody.
Tuesday afternoon about o'clock
Van Zant again became violent and
the members of his family, fearing
for their lives, again summoned the
police. When they arrived he appear
ed to be in a normal frame of mind
but it was thought best to place him
in custody.
Van Zant about twenty years ago
was one of the best known base ball
players in the country. After playing
ball with various teams in this part
of the country he went to the Pacific
coast where as a member of the San
Francisco team in the Pacific Coast
league he became the Idol of the fans.
Van Zant played third base for San
Francisco and several of the National
league clubs endeavored to secure his
services but Van Zant preferred to re-
main on the Pacific coast. He re-
NAMED there until he retired from
base ball.
