DEATH OF MRS. WHARTON.

Died, at the family residence In this
city Friday morning, Mrs E. K. Whar-
ton, widow of the late Col Benz. Frank
lin Wharton of DeSoto parish.
Again has the angel of death come to
this devoted family. In the short space
of six months, a son in the prime of
years was taken, and one in the dawn
of manhood. Then one in the ripeness
and ftillness of years-the devoted fos-
ter mother and sister, whose latter days
were full of WEAKNESS and pain and
longing for rest. For many months a
sufferer with the ir1hr1nities of years
upon her, Mrs. Wharton preserved a
cherriness of nature, and a gentleness
that was indeed remarkable. To sit in
her invalid chair in the family circle,
meet old friends and watch the play of
children were her truest pleasures.
The days of her usefulness were long
since gone, but many here remember the
grace and goodness of her hospitality in
years gone by, when Colonel and Mrs.
Wharton's big beautiful country home
was thronged with guests, always 50
welcome, but never so happy as when
overlooking with children, little neigh
bors, grandchildren. nieces and nephews.
Then the beloved head Of the house was
taken, and all was changed; few years
later the sweet young niece and adopted
daughter was called from earth. and

Deepest sympathy is extended Mrs
Cornelia H. Boazman in the death OF
her son Make Boazman, which oc-
CURED in Alamagorda, N. M, Tuesday,
! September 20.
Only few days before the sad news
came, encouraging reports had been re-
ceived of the invalids condition and
plans announced that he and his moth
er would spend the winter in FL Paso,
leaving New Mexico on account of the
high altitude. Alas, even then the end
was at hand. How true, as in this case,
deaths angel walks with US unseen. A
hemorrhage, a rapid failing of his hold
on life, and the end came in that far
away western town. Heart broken, the
devoted mother made her journey
honeward with her beloved son-asleep
in his coffin.
Grievous beyond words is the death
of the young, who, loving life as they
should, go from place to place in vain
search for the balm of health and heal
ing.
Funeral services were held Friday
morning at the home of Mrs. Boazman's
sister, Mrs. w. R. Nicholson on Cotton
street, conducted by Dr. Sunlrell of the
First Baptistc llurch. In Oaklond Gem
etery beside his father, Make Boazman,
was laid to rest. May Christ the COM
forter give strength to the bereayed
mother in this heavy affection
SELECTIONS-THE FLOWER
KING.
When the roses of summer have bios
somed and gone
And the daisies are brown on the hill
The golden rod nod in the cool autumn
wind
And brightens the fields for us still.
Its slender gold plume like scepter it |
holds
Ger the land where the roses have
refgned,
And it bows as you pass in a way that
the rose
In her beauty and pride never deigned
Then, no, for the golden rod, king of
the fields,
The Midas of flowers is he!
And we yield to the wave of his, scepter
of gold,
A homage of love, full and free,
Cora S. Day.
IN THE HEART OF THE WOODS
Such beautiful things in the heart of the
woods
Flowers and ferns and soft green moss
Such love of the birds in the so1itudes
Where the swift wings glance and the
tree tops toss;
spaces of silence, swept with song,
Which nobody hears but the God above,
spaces where myriad creatures throng
Stunning themselves in his guarding
love.
such safety and peace in the heart of
the woods
FAR from the city's dust and din,
Where passion nor hate nor men in
trude,
Nor fashion nor folly has entered in.
Deeper than hunters trail has gone,
1linmers the torn where the wild deer
drink;
IND fearless and free comes the gentle
fawn
70 look at herself Ger the CLASSY brink.

JUNE DANCE
Was Most Delightful Ever Given
In This City.

The Sterling Dancing Club gave
their annual June dance last We'd
nesday night at Trimble's Hall.
The spacious ball room was beau
tifully decorated in green, white
and yellow. The ceiling and
walls being tastefully draped with
cheesecloth and trimmed with
white and yellow roses informing
ling with green asparagus. The
stage was a perfect bower of
flowers, palms and ferns, and must
have been an inspiration to the
orchestra that rendered the most
enhancing music. The bright
lights being covered with colored
shades shed a mystic, dreamy
opalescent light over the dancers.
The first three couples in the
grand march were President, j.
w. Burbridge and Miss Lodema
Wood; Vice President Hunt
Priest and Miss Anna May Can
non; Secretary and Treasurer
Lewis A. Judy and Miss Rachael
Settle. There were As couples in
the grand march and many other
dancers present who did not take
part in the march.
Although the night was warm
and close, the thoughtful officers
had provided 10 electric fans
which were splendidly arranged
so that at all times the dancers had
the benefit of their cooling breezes.
The program was perfectly ar
ranged showing that President
Burbridge and Secretary Judy had
given much time and thought to
its construction, and too much
credit cannot be given these young
men for the excellent manner in
which the entire program was car
ried out.
To describe the beautiful gowns
worn would take an artist, each
one with some mark of individu-
atty, showing the taste of its
owner, and the girls were the
quintessence of beauty and re-
fnement, 1t was the universal
opinion of all present that this
dance was the best one given in
years.

HARVARD WINS
Crimson Makes Clean Sweep With
Yale at New London.

The Harvard Yale varsity race
started at 4:37 this afternoon.
Harvard had a slight lead at the
first eighth, but at the half both
crews were even.
At the three-quarters the pace
was slightly lessened and Harvard
led by a narrow margin. At the
mile Harvard led by almost a
length.
At the mile and half Yale spur
ted ana drew up on even terms,
but soon dropped back.
Both crews passed the navy yard
just before the two-mile flag on
exactly even terms, but in the next
half mile Harvard regained her
lead of half length.
Yale began to splash and at the
24-mile mark Harvard led by more
than length.
Harvard cleared up the Thames
this morning with two of the most
decisive victories that ever marked
the opening of h err annual rowing
regatta with Yale. The Crimson
freshman eight-oared crew beat
the youngsters from New Haven
by three lengths, and the Harvard
varsity four bettered this perfor-
nance a little later by rowing
away from Yale in the last eighth
mile of surprising race and fin
ishing four lengths in the lead.
A quartering down stream breeze
rose to eight knots an hour before
the second race began, cut down
the time, and although both the
winning crews were strong, both
races were slow. The time was:

DARING DIVE.
Boy Leaps 1876 feet From Center
OF Brooklyn Bridge.

"A SldTp-ltdIuFeu. unueTSlZeU
youth in ragged swimming trunks,
with skimpy coat and an old
pair of trousers thrown over them,
dived successfully from the center
of the Brooklyn bridge to the
East river 1876 feet below, for
$3.50 in cash, two new suits of
clothes and whatever fame the
world may hold in store for a
bridge jumper.
The late Steve Brodie acquired
fame as a bridge jumper, and long
ran Bowery saloon on the
strength of it, but many say it
was never proved that Steve
really jumped. Several would-be
suicides have been fished out of
the river unhurt after jumping,
but Otto Eppers is the first to
jump with unquestioned witnesses
as part of prearranged plan.
The boys first words when he
was fished out of the river by the
crew of passing tug were: Gee!
but l hit hard"
His next were: Say, who's
got the inskin's of cigarettey"
Eppers is II years old. the son
of a photographer. He weighs
about 40 pounds, and has been
unofficial swimming champion of
the East River ever since he got
into the big boys class. Recently
he heard that a Brooklyn mer-
chant was willing to pay $3.50 out
of his advertising appropriation to
the first man who would jump
from any one of the bridges over
the East River.
Otto was the boy for the job.
He had jumped 1O4 feet from a
bridge once before, and the addi.
ton of few more feet never
caused him so mnch as a thought.
Sure, I'll do it," he said, and
he did.
Otto meant to dive in one long,
sweeping arc, but somehow" he
told afterward, Il started to
twist, and then l couldn't STOP
Passengers on the ferryboats who
saw him said he turned like a
pinwheel.
Il wasn't bit scared until |
jumped" he continued, but
don't remember anything after
hit until l came up again" He
was found floating on his back
half stunned, and padding feebG
Il could nave swum to Shore" he
boosted, and in the next breath
admitted, but was not feeling
very spry."
A rundown and two hours OF
rest in hospital found Eppers fit
to appear in Police Court, where
he was promptly discharged fol
lack of evidence that he had at.
tempted suicide. He hopes now
to become shining star in some
dime museum. In his coat pocket
was rough sketch of his plunge,
signed proudly, THAT Bridge
Jumper. o. Eppers."
The authorities should bore
this lad for the simples."
