Seize HudgIns. in Norfolk. Va,
on Sunday evening, January 2Sth,
through hemoi rhage of the lungs.
The attack was sudden and imme

unexpected by even her nearest
friends. Nature, kind mother,
seemed to softly. gently. rock
her to sleep. and she passed into
the beautiful silent vally. so peace

She is survived by several grand

four sons.
Accompanied by -elatlves the
remains were taken for memorial
service to the home Of her daugh

Mathews County, where her life
time friends and neighbors sorrow
fully gathered. To the bereaved
family. so in need of consolation,
her pastor, Rev. ]. c. Walker,
spoke tender words of comfort.
He drew brief word picture of
her life from early gilhoood. The

was such good mother! Her

Governor Of Indiana Is Chosen for
Second Place.
Baltimore, July 3.-For president
Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New
Jersey.
For vice president Governor Thorn
as R. Marshall, of Indiana.
This was the ticket completed by
the Democratic National convention
at 1 $50 a. m. today.
The nomination of Governor Mar
shall for vice president by acclama-
tion after the second ballot came as
something of surprise, for when the
nights balloting for vice president
began it seemed that the Bryan
Wilson contingent in the convention
had definitely settled upon Governor
Burke, of North Dakota.
There was not much of fight, how
ever, and when two ballots disclosed
Marshall steadily in the lead, Cover
nor Burke's name was withdrawn and
Mashall was proclaimed the nominee
by reclamation.
A minute later the convention had
adjourned sine die.

SHOUTS RUIN FINE VOICE..
California Woman Delegate to Chi
cago Unable to Speak.


Chicago-One we'll trained contralto
voice was lost at the Republican con-
vention in Chicago, either at the Coli
scum, where the California delegation
was shouting for Roosevelt, or at the
birth of the new progressive party.
The lost voice belonged to Mrs. Isabel
Blaney, of San Jose, CAL, one of the
two women sent as delegates to the
Republican convention. Owing to the
loss of Mrs. Blaney's voice, the
women of Lake Forest and other north
shore cities failed to hear discourse
on woman suffrage which was to have
been delivered here.
Mrs. Blaney came to Chicago at the
opening of the Republican convention,
determined to fight for the cause of
Roosevelt. During the convention
Mrs. Blaney cheered with the rest of
the California delegation and was one
of the leaders in the cheering at Or
chestra Hall when the new party was
launched. The strain, combined with
the damp lake winds, caused Mrs.
Blaney to lose her voice until she was
unable to speak above whisper.
Her husband, Charles D. Blaney,
was taken to the hospital at the close
of the convention suffering from an
infection Of one of his eyes.

AMERICANS WIN HONORS.
Two Worlds Records Broken at
Swedish Olympiad.

Stockholm, Sweden-The glory Of
the opening of the Olympic games Of
1912 should be divided between Swed-
en- and the United States. Sweden
gets the lions share, for the impress
sive stage setting she provided for the
contests, which, with the natural
beauties of Stockholm-its parks and
palaces and lakes-and the moving
ceremonial with which the king IN
augurated the meeting, makes it by
far the most memorable international
festival ever held.
Americas share of the honor is due
to the remarkable fashion in which
her brawny young men set to work Cd
the cinder path. They ran away with
heat after heat in the first rounds OF
the 100 meters and 800 meters; they
outdid the expectations of their tram
ers and completely upset the calcula-
tions the public had made. They iel'
their old-time British rivals far DE-
hind.
The smashing of the Olympic record
by D. E. Lippincott, University Oh
Pennsylvania, in the 18th heat OF the
100 meters event, puts that runner III
the hero class.
The worlds record with the javeliin,,
made by E. Lemming, the SWedlsa
champion, was not unexpected, Wv
the Hawaiian swimmer "Duke" ha-
hanamoku, covered himself with glory
