MINISTERING ANGEL
OF NEIGHBORHOOD

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
The remains of Mrs Elizabeth c.
Wright, widow of the late Charles
Wright, were removed from the vault In
Congressional Cemetery today and in
TERED In the family burial plot. For
thirty years known as the "ministering
angel Of the neighborhood, wherever
accident, sickness, or death occurred
her presence was a welcome sight, for
one felt such confidence in her knowl-
edge and attentive care to the smallest
details that loved ones could be left
with her with perfect security. At all
hours of the day or night, to friends
and strangers her ministrations were
rendered in such a gentle, unobtrusive
way, always leaving the impression
that no debt had been incurred. Days.
weeks, and months her vigils have last
Cd at the bedside of neighbors. and
memories of her true friendships, de-
votion to the sick, gentle tenderness to
every one she came in contact with,
is a monument to her worth far beyond
the reach of times annihi.ating hand.

Anniversary Date of
Two Famous Battles

Today is the anniversary OF two bat
ties near Washington-the first at Bel
air, Md. in 1872, when the British troops
were defeated by the Americans, and
the second on August 30, 1852, when the
Confederates won the second battle of
Bull Run.
On August 30. 17os, Haverhill, Mass,
was attacked and burned by French
and Indian troops. This date is also
notable in Revolutionary history, Long
Island having been evacuated by the
Americans August 80, 1776. and on Au-
gust 80, 1881, the French feet arrived in
chesapeake bay to aid the Americans.
Five years ago today William Jen-
-nings Bryan arrived at New York from
a tour around the world. being given
a mammoth reception.

PAULINE PINES FOR THE
ROCKVILLE FAIR.

Silence and desolation hang over the
White House and all the curtilage of
the mansion, except for the lonely low
which comes now and then from the
stable. 1t is the voice of Pauline, left
in the isolation which is one of the
penalties of exalted station. She feels
like some pampered little princess who
gazes wistfully through the palace
grating at the unrestrained freedom
and joyousness of the children of the
people.
True, it has been arranged that, q
few weeks hence, she shall return for q
visit to her native pastures, up in Wis
consin. The welcome with which she
will be received will be cordial; the
streamers and gariands and rosettes
will cover her as if she were the
sacred bull of Apis. But as yet she
has not learned of the glories that
await her.
She has merely caught vague
hints that over in old Montgomery
county the fifty-eighth annual fair is
now in progress, and that all the aris-
tocracy of horned cattle is on parade.
The sights and sounds and scents, the
clairyoyant vision of the yellow pump
kins and the poultry, and all the things
which go to make up typical fair,
float across the intervening miles, and

She would like to exhibit the glossy
softness of her coat, pour the wealth

tion of triumphantly measuring points
with all the fat kline of the country.
side. She would like to catch the
breath of the new-mown hay, hear the
rustic of the russet corn, as it comes
over the undulating hills and valleys
of Montgomery. The very look of
her soft brown eyes would be a pas
toral, set to the measure of a con-
tented low.
The Rockville fair would be able to
boast of her presence even beyond the
airships, the Marine Band, and the
midway marvels assembled from many
lands. The fifty-seven varieties OF
fairs which have gone before would
emerge from the shadow land of men,
ory, and, like the tall ears of Holy
Writ, do obeisance to the fifty eighth,
whose success would make "past glory
doubtful and future fame impossible"
And yet, "cribbed, cabined, and con-
fined," she must spend these August
days in the splendid loneliness of the
White House stables, with no COW of
her kindred, no stable mate nigh, to
reflect back her beauty or give sigh for
sigh.
The public sympathy goes out to
Pauline as she turns, disconsolate,
from her stately manger.

WILDCATS
Are Plentiful in the Noun
tains of Pocahontas Coun-
ty, This State.

The story is being told, based on
observations made in Pocahontas
county recently by Charles Wigal, a
travelling man, that wildcats in that
county and other counties in the sec
ton are becoming so numerous that
even whole Rocks of sheep have been
killed recently and that the county
court has offered reward of $500
for each and every pelt that is pro-
duced by the natives. The hunters
and trappars have recently caught
several of the animals and have been
given the promised reward. Wild
cats are especially fond of mutton
and of chicken. 1t is likely that the
county court of Pocahontas, at the
suggestion of the citizens, will in
crease the amount of reward for the
capture of the dangerous pests,
which on several occasions have at
tackled citizens on the public high
way.
