THE DEATH OF MRS. BUMRREY

Mr.. l.. d. Bumbrey, the new fore
man of the composing room of the Ma
tional Baptist Publishing Board, has
been in Texas attending the bedside OF
his mother. He was expected home
last week, but his failure to arrive led
to the suspicion that the illness Of
his mother had grown more serious.
This suspicion was confirmed when a
telegram was received Saturday night
by Mr.. Henry A. Boyd from Mr.. Jesse
Milton Bumbrey, a brother of Mr..
Louis D. Bumbrey, informing him of
the death of their mother, which must
have taken place some time during
the day Saturday. The friends in
Nashville extend to the bereayed fam
lily their hearty sympathy. The Tex
as Colony especially feels this great
loss as each of them here is personal
ly acquainted with the Bumbrey fam
lily. which is one of the oldest, largest
and most respected in Southwest Tex
as. Mrs. Bumbrey died at quite an
advanced age. All of the children are
grown and live in different cities in
the United States, as we'll as in Mex
leo, but they were all summoned to
the bedside and were present during
the last hours Of her illness.

WASHINGTON HOSPITALITY.

The entertainment and reception &C
corded to the Nashville delegates while
in Washington during the National
Convention was certainly demonstra-
ton of the friendly feeling existing
between the citizens in the Nations
Capital" and the capital of the "Volun-
teer State" The fact that many PEG,
pie living in Washington have counted
their residence in this city is said to
be responsible for the open-hearted,
hospitable treatment Of these visitors.
Then, too, late arrivals in Washington
assisted. Especially is this true in the
case of Mr.. John T. Rhines, the young
undertaken of Washington, who, by his
business tact and social affability, has
won many friends and is doing an ex-
cellent business. He evidenced quite an
interest in his friends from home and
saw to it that they were not lonesome.
Others that contributed to their enter
tainment were Miss Lula Poland, one
of the city teachers, who entertained
at dinner on Sunday in beautiful style;
the Misses hurry, who are teachers
and also prominent in Washington:
Miss Matthews and Mr.. and Mrs. Lark
ford. 1t seems from the tales the re
turn delegates tell that the way is al

vice President T. L. Lewis, is an
avowed candidate for MitcheIPs place.
He and Mitchell have scarcely been on
speaking terms for years and it is pre-
dicted that if Lewis is elected to the
presidency, next year will see the big
gest coal strike ever known. Lewis
counselled the strike in the last TWO
agreements between operators and
miners The contracts for both an
thracite and bituminous miners come
to an end in April and 100000 miners
viii be free to strike. This strike
would involve over a million mine
owners.
In the announcement to members of

prompted to arrive at this decision
against reelection by ill-health and
that he is no longer able to give their
interests the proper consideration de-
manded. He also goes on to say that

S. MILLER KENT
Matinee IDOL
Handsome Actor Who POr-
trays RaffleS Catches
Feminine Favor.

S. Miller Kent, who comes to the
Templet theater Wednesday, October
16, in "Raff1es, the Amateur Cracks
man." has always fought shy of the
title of matinee idop-a title which,
by the way, the New York papers
coined for him.
The idea of a lot of silly girls going
"daffy" over him while they munched
caramels and talked adjectives would
be extremely distasteful to him.
Just the same" says a Boston
newspaper woman, who interviewed
him recently, eff he sat in an easy,
conversational pose resting one cheek
on his palm and giving one moment a
picture of his perfectly chiseled profile
and the next a calm glance from his
wonderful big eyes, the girls would
have to crown him anyway. With his
silvery white hair, his exquisitely reg
ular features, his indescribable eyes,
now gray, now green, now yellow, now
almost black, his heavyS eyebrows and
healthy tan of cheeks which comes
from the sea and outdoor life, S. Mil
Ter Kent is even handsomer off the
stage than on. His voice. with it's mu-
steal cadence, always perfectly modu-
lated, rests and soothes and holds the
nearer. The accent is charming, the
cleancut enunciation a delight.
"In the response and simplicity of
the man lies the great secret of his
tremendous magnetism. For assured
ly S. Miller Kent leads and likes the
simple life. In the drawing rooms of
every city in every land, both sides of,
the sea, he would be eagerly welcom-
ed. Besides being well born, good to
look upon and a celebrity, he is clever,
versed on many topics of more than
passing interest Yet the idea of being
known as a society man is but shade
more congenial to him than that of be-
ing called a matinee IDOL"
