Legged Goose" by Miss Bertha F. Dew.
The piano solo by Mrs Ray E. Dew was
greatly appreciated The closing song by

joyable. A number of the selections were

evening for the large audience that filed

the Misses Higgins after the concert was
over, where light refreshments were served

Mrs. Slocum Killed.

Mai, Gen. j. Franklin Bell. chief of staff
U. S. A., was severely injured and Mrs.
Herbert j. Slocum, wife of Major Slo-
cum of the 7th Cavalry, U. S. A., was al
most instantly killed in an accident in
Wisconsin avenue last Wednesday morn
ing, in which Gen. Bells automobile was
struck and overturned by south-bound
trolley car of the Washington and Rock
vile line. Gen. Bell received a scalp wound
and bruises and had one rib broken. The
chauffeur, Seret. Edward Ward, U. S. Signal
Corps, was uninjured.
The collision occurred a short distance
south of the intersection Of Massachusetts
and Wisconsin avenues. and its force was
sufficient to practically demolish the auto
mobile. Gen. Bell, who was on the front
seat of the auto with the chauffeur, was
thrown to the ground Ward was pinned
under the car for a moment, but released
himself, and with Gen. Bell sought Mrs
SlOcum.
They found her body doubled under the
seat within the limousine body of the au-
tomobile. She was unconscious and her
death occurred on the trolley car. which
was used as an improvised ambulance, on
the way to Georgetown University Hospital.
Mrs. Slocum. whose husband is nephew
of Mrs. Russell Sage, was visiting her sis
ter, Mrs. II. L. Green. of Washington, and
was Gen. Bells guest on a pleasure ride
when the accident occurred.
Because of the pleasant weather of the
early spring morning the drive was ex-
tended through the suburbs in the north
west section of the District. The route lay
out Massachusetts avenue and the auto
mobile had just been turned into Wiscon-
sin avenue when Gen. Bell noticed a shady
by-path leading toward the grounds OF
the Naval Observatory, to the east of
Wisconsin avenue, and he directed his
chauffeur to turn into it. Ward spun his
steering wheel around and the automobile
was fully two-thirds across the trolley
tracks when the trolley car, approaching
from behind, crashed into it,
Ward the chauffeur, stated afterward
that he made the turn across the tracks
Immediately upon receiving Gen. Bells
instructions. and he did not know that the
trolley car was approaching. He did not
look back to see II the way was clear

Bethesda Masonic Lodge by Maj. James
Sprieg Wilson, who has recently been made
a Master Mason in the lodge. at a meeting
held on the 18th instant The sword was
captured from a Spanish officer in one Of
the engagements in Cuba during the late
war with Spain and is embellished by the
Court Of Arms of Spain. The hilt is in the
form of the Cross, for the reason that the
Spaniard. anticipating death, wanted the
Cross to be the last object Of his mOrta
gaze should he be killed in battle. Wor-
shipful Master E. A. Condor received the
sword on behalf Of the lodge and the pre-
sentation speech was made by II. Latant

In MemOrlam.

Mr. Charles Higdon died at his home, at
Ounce Orchard, on Tuesday. March list,
1910, aged 70 years and months.
The funeral was held in the church at
Ounce Orchard on Thursday, March 3rd.
The funeral services we're conducted by the
Rev. Mr.. Smith, who preached very ap-
propriate and impressive sermon from
Philip. !. II. which reads: For me to live
is Christ, and to die is gain" And we
do sincerely believe that the Language
of the text was appropriate and true In
the case Of Mr.. Higdon that TO die was
gain. Our faith is based upon the fact
that he was good man, although he did
not belong to any particular church In
all his daily walks Of life he lived up to
close imitation Of Christian character.
He was man Of s0briety, industry and hon
esty he was kind and friendly to all with
whom he came in contact he was low
ing father and kind husband Part OF
the funeral services consisted of the read
ing Of ! Cor, XVI-the certainty Of the
resurrection and with the singing of
beautiful hymns selected by his daughter.
Nearer My God to Thee, "Will There Be
Any Stars in My Crown" and I'VE Shall
Never Say Good-by in Heaven" After the
services the remains were placed TO rest in
the cemetery at Jamestown.
Now all his cares Of life are ended,
And his form Is laid to rest,
And we hope the soul assembled
To dwell among the best.
A FRIEND.
In sad but loving remembrance of my
dear father, James S. Holland, who de-
parted this life January 9th. 1910
Dearest father, thou hast left us.
And our loss we deeply feel.
But It's God that has bereft us.
lie can all our sorrows heal
Yet, again we hope to meet thee,
When the day Of life is fed,
When in Heaven with Joy TO greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed
BY his daueter Jermyl.

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Neb., Jan. o.
(Special.)-In their annual contest here Fri
day evening the Wesleyan basket ball team
defeated the alumni by the score of 80 to
II The game was rough from the start,
which served to even up matters for the
alumni, the varsity having the advantage
Of a weeks hard practice. The game
served as a tryout for this years team, two
new men, Essert and McCandless, being put
in at forward for a few minutes.
The work of Captain Meyer, center. and
Simonds, forward, for the university, was
especially good, both being at all times
in the game and making several difficult
goals.
Isham, former captain and star. did most
of the work for the alumni, having a Valu
able co-worker in Cain, who played a strong
game.
The strong games to be played this year
are with Ames and Highland Park, with a

WEIGHS AVERAGE A SURPRISE
Hitting of Omaha Right Fielder IL
shown "a he Classy.

WICHITA, Kan. Jan. a.-The fact that
Harry Welch. right fielder for the Omaha
Western league club, batted for an average
of .372 last season came as a surprise TO
followers OF the game in the various West
ern league towns.
Welch was recognized as a sweet hitter,
but there were few persons or ball players
who had any idea that he hit more than
$40 or even that much.
In previous years sport writer's have ac-
cused the Omaha scorer with showing ia
v~oritism to certain players, and Welch was
among them. but there can be no talk OF
that kind this season after the records In
President Norris L. o'Neilfs office in Chi
cPgo are examined.
Jack Holland, who now controls the ST
Joseph club. was in Chicago a few weeks
ago While concentrating the purchase OF
the Pueblo ball club, and at that time ex-
amined the records as compiled by Presi-
dent O'Neills secretary.
He was surprised at Welch's high average
and examined the score sheets closely. He
found that Welch hit over the 400 mark
on the road and that Il was his average 81
hcme which was the lowest. No one think
for one minute that Weloh was favored by
scorers upon the road. At least. the writer
found that the Wichita players were never
