Death of Mrs. Wilson.

Mrs Anna Eleise Wilson, widow of
the late George W. Wilson, died at her
home near this town on Sunday, Feb
ruary 10Th at 10 80 p. m, after eng
illness, preceded by failing health
which was first apparent about four
years ago. The death of her husband
last March was too great q sorrow in
her frail condition and since then she
has been a helpless invalid, gradually
ia ding away and loosening all earthly
ties until she seemed almost ethereal
when at last her spirit took flight to its
heavenly home.
Mrs. Wilson was SO years cid and the
eldest daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. G. II.
Carpenter, of Louisa county, Va,
VIII ere during the civil war, while she
was mere girl, she met her future hus-
band, Confederate soldier, stationed
near her homo, and who was nursed
through severe illne in her fathers
house. Their acquaintance thus form
ed ripened into something deeper than
friendship as the years went by, and in
December, 1878, Mr.. Wilson brought
home his sweet bride who was destined
to win the love and admirati on of every
person who was fortunate enough to
knew her. No woman ever lived
among Us who was more charitable in
word and deed, and her kindaess to the
Door was universal. A warm greeting
welcomed all who crossed her threshold
and few departed without some proof
of her generous hospitality.
Early in life she Joined the Baptist
Church and always remained true to
its doctrine, although a constant at
tendant at and contributor to Trinity
Church, this town. She was deeply re-
ligious and her faith was unlimited, but
her nature was retiring and she never
revealed to the world all the strength
Of her character nor the resources OF
her mind. She was content to give her
life to her home wishing no greater
happiness than in her husband and
children and her sweet, gentle spirit
shed an influence of good far beyond
the family circle.
She leaves daughter, Miss Mary L..
Wilson, whose love and devotion dur
ing her mothers long illness was es-
pecially tender. Two sons, Mr.. George
w. Wilson, who is living at home, and
Mr.. Civic c. Wilson. of West Virginia,
her aged mother, three sisters and one
brother also survive her.
The funeral took place from Trinity
Church Tuesday morning at 11.30
O'Clock, Rev. Mr.. McManus officiating.
The pail bearers were Messrs. Fred.
Sasscer, Phil. W. Chew, R. B. B. Chew,
John F. Hickey. William 8. Hill and A.
Marshall Marbury.
The floral tributes from loving friends
were numerous and of the choicest and
most beautiful flowers, including roses,
lilies. sweet peas, lilacs, carnations, etc.
The interment was in the family lot
in the Episcopal Cemetery. Mr.: W. Fl:
Scott, of Washington, was funeral
director.-Gazette.

Wants Question Submitted.

The following is a copy of letter
sent to each member Of the Prince
Georges County Delegation by Mr.
James G. Rogers, prominent lawyer:
Dear SIR
write to you as one Of the represent
atives OF our county, to urge upon you
the passage of some bill which will al
leviate the serious CO ndition that con-
fronts our people resulting from the in
discriminate sale of liquor, and to
briefly point out, from material stand
point alone, the baneful effects upon
our people as . whole.
Asyou know, I am not, and never
have bsen an extremist upon this sub
ject, on the contrary I have urged the
largest measure of personal liberty with
relation to mems business and affairs as
Is consistent with the rights of the ma
jority of people, and would not now be
advocating what some might consider
an extreme measure, but which to my
W.
were it not for the very serious condi-
tions that now confront US.
One OF the greatest drawback to the
material advancement of our county to-
day is the lack of farming labor, and
this is due very largely to the saloons,
which are patronized by almost all the
~
time aud energy to lsafing and drink
ing, aud become unmanageable, than to
be sober and industrious men. l sup
pose oHe-half of the laboring class have
become practically united, because of
the indiscriminate sale OF liquor in our
county. So long as our farmers are I'M
able to secure nslp, such as In the old
days, their farms arc profitless and a
burden, resulting in the inevita BILE mort
gage, sale and foreclosure.
Each Of you is doubtless aware of the
fact that at least $40 of our criminal
cases are traceable directly to the sale
of liquor in our county, and the cost,
grand jury, and prolonged session of
the court in the trial Of these cases, not
to speak of the expenses incident to
Jail and penitentiary, is thing in which
every taxpayer is materially interested
In the section Of the county where l
live, and where, through the efforts of
We have, within the last few yeare,
brought into the county at least 1000
citizens, the situation is most appall-
ing.
1t is needless to expatiate upon the
benefits that the county must feel from
such 3 population, and the material
wealth which it brings in our midst; and
car safely say, that if it were not for
the conditions incident to the sale OF
liquor nearby, that it would have been
doubled.
You may not know it, but the situa-
ton in and about Bladensburg, particu
larly on Sundays, is 80 shameful and
outrageous. that it is startling that the
citizens Of that community should per-
NIT 1t to exist for single day, and there
is powerful undercurrent, particularly
among the newcomers, of condemn ation
against the continuance of this state of
affairs.
We have beautiful, county where
nature has been lavish with her gifts, q
splendid class of men and women
standing at the gateway to the National
Capital and near the great city of Balti-
