Asks for Quarter Million.

Secretary Wilson Of the Department Of
Agriculture has communicated to Congress
the fact that unless another appropriation
of $250.000 is made to cover the expenses
of stamping out foot-and-mouth disease
the work Of the bureau of animal indus
try which has charge Of the meat inspec-
ton branch of the government, will be
seriously hampered before the end Of the
fiscal year.
Early in the present session the Secre-
tary asked Congress to give him 100000
for this work. but only $150,000 was APP
propriated He says that $183,776 al
ready has been expended, and there are
further liabilities estimated at $63,285.
making a total of $247,061 up to this
date. All of this money was taken from
the appropriation for general expenses OF
the bureau Of animal industry Mr. Will
son says further:
while the general bureau work has not
yet suffered, it is apparent that it will be
most seriously crippled before the year is
out unless the appropriation is reimbursed.
The number Of employees now engaged in
the final work Of disinfection is 1873, and
it will not be possible to withdraw all Of
them until warm weather-say for three
months yet"
The recent epidemic of foot-and-mouth
disease, responsible for these large expen-
ditures. was in the States Of Pennsylvania,
New York. Michigan and Maryland. The
disease was brought under control some
time ago. but Mr.. Wilson has declared that
symptoms, with view TO preventing an
other outbreak.

Senator Lee Should Go Back To
Annapolis.

The whole State is interested in the re-
turn of Senator Blair Lee, of Montgomery
county. to the Legislature. Senator Lee
has had experience at Annapolis he
knows the ropes there. and the State has
had an opportunity to take the Senator's
measure. He was one of the members of
the Democratic party who could not be
swung this way and that way either by
promises of patronage or by the threats
of the organization. He had a mind and
a will of his own and was no mans man.
His fight for publicity in connection with
legislation alone entitled him to the graft
tude of the State. On a number of other
issues he espoused the side of the people
against the bosses, and on many occasions
was a thorn in their side. His ability and
his integrity are unquestioned. Senator
Lee is man of wealth. a lawyer of ability,
and he has now had the benefit of service
at Annapolis He is the kind of man the
State needs, and Montgomery county ought
to keep him there as long as he is willing to

THOMAS AUGUSTUS JOHNSON.


One of the saddest events of recent date
was the death and burial of Thomas Au-
gustus johnson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thorn
as Johnson. Born and reared in this cOun-
ty, he was well-known and loved and
honOred by all. From boyhOOd to manhood
he was known to be kind-hearted and I'M
selfish, always ready to do an act of chart
ty when opportunity presented itself,
thoughtful of the welfare of loved ones,
and especially courageous in time of doubt
or trial. For short time he was superin-
tendent of little Sunday School conducted
in Walnut DELI school house. He was
very fond of his church and diligently
searched the Scriptures"
He was an electrician and his business
finally carried him to Springfield, Mass,
where he resided several years, returning
at times to visit his people. Several years
AGO he returned to this State, and going to
Washington City pursued his business un-
til compelled to give up on account of i'll
health.
During the summer Of 1898 he opened
a stationery and confectionery store on
the corner of 9Th street and Rhode Island
avenue, Washington, d. c. At the time
of his death IL was known to his friends
that he had recently had medical advice
ana Dui II wan tllOuBiit
that he was seriously ILL., On Monday
when his store was found closed, with a
sign illness" on the door, suspicion was
aroused, and upon going in he was found
lyiy> on his bed, cold in death. The peace
full Oppression on his features seemed to
indicSe that he died without pain or even
n struggle. The undertaken remarked that
he never saw such look Of peace on the
face of a corpse. His remains were brought
TO Boyds on Wednesday, February 3rd, and
buried in the cemetery near the Presby-
terrain Church.
Those who attended the funeral. as well
as those who have visited the stricken
family since, express their sympathy for
the broken family circle. May they look
10 Jesus and realize that after few more
trials and a few more tears, father, mother
and children will all meet again in that
Land where wen never grow old, and
where God will wipe away the tears from
our eyes.
Once our home was bright and happy.
Oh, how sad and drear to-day.
For our darling, loving brother
Has forever passed away.
Darling brother, we will meet you,
We will meet you by-and-by,
In that land where there's no parting,
We will never say goodbye.
Weep not for me, my loved ones, dear,
am gone to rest, you need not fear.
Ny stay was short, you now may see,
So, therefore, prepare and follow me.
When spring is here again,
With birds and blooming flowers,
We will wander to our brothers grave
To spend the lonely hours.
His loving sister,
Mrs. JAMES o. KING.

friend. self-sacrificing and sincere Chris
tan soul, real heroine in the sphere of
life in which her lot was cast. Mindful
and considerable of the welfare of others

unselfish love and devotion to the care of
her little grandchildren, who were down
with serious illness. Mother, you are
growing old and have not strength to
nurse the children" she was told you
