PROF. FA|RBROTHER
CALLED BY DEATH
At HOME IN MAINE
Veteran Teacher Succumbs,
Telegram to Physician
- Announces.

Prof. Isaac Fairbrother for thirty-slx
Washington, and one Of the most popu-
Jar superintendents ever in the District,
died yesterday afternoon at his summer
home In Orland, Me. For two years
Mr.. Fairbrother's health had been fail
ing. but he had greatly improved in the
last few months and his death comes
as a great shock to a host Of friends.
Isaac Fairbrother was a. native Of
Maine and was seventy-two years old.
He received his education at st. Adams
Academy and Oak Grove Seminary, and
Immediately went into teaching. He
was connected with public schools in
Maine for three years as grammar and
high school teacher and later as super
tntendent.
In 1876 he was appointed an eighth
grade superintendent in the District,
and served In this capacity until 1884,
when he was made superintendent Of
the Fourth division, which later be-
most prominent men and women In
Washington received their education un-
der his supervision, and he was uni
versally loved and respected.
Mr.. Fairbrothers Washington resi-
dence was 924 B street southwest. He
leaves no family, bis wife having died
about two years ago. They had no chill
dren.
The teachers of Jefferson School,
where Mr.. Fairbrother made his head
quarters, are meeting this afternoon to
take some action on his death. The de-
tails of his death are measer, as a tele-
gram to DR.. H. T.. A. Lemon, announc-
ing the death and requesting that his
Washington friends be advised Of II, is

Aunt Sally's Advice
to Beauty-SeekerS

w. c. d. says: My elbows are so
thick-skinned. goosepimply, and muddy
/ cant wear short sleeves How can
this condition be overcome?" Don't use
elbows as props. The treatment recon-
mepded to Minnie l.. will make your
elbows quite presentable.
Ellen b. asks: What should do for
deep lines under my eyes and across my
forehead?' Such lines, and all wrinkles,
are best obliterated by bathing affected
portions in good astringent and tonic
lotion, which strengthens and draws in
the relaxed tissue. Here's a reliable
formula: One ounce powdered saxolite,
II pint witch hazel; mix and use daily
until entirely relieved.
Minnie L.: The undue redness, as well
as the p!mples, may easily be removed
by using ordinary mercolized wax. APP
ply nightly like cold cream and erase
mornings with warm water. Soon you'll
have a beautifully white, clear, SOFT
and velvety complexion. Mercolized wax,
sold by all druggists, is better than cos
metics for any complexion trouble. one
ounce suffices for most conditions

Millions Are Wasted
In Coke By-Products

Between $35,ooo,OOo and $4O.ooO.ooo in by
products was wasted in the coke indus
try in Eastern coal mining States last
year, according to Edward w. Parker,
geologist of the United States Geologi-

Mr.. Parker declares that this waste
was due to the use of beehive ovens
by many coke makers in place OF the
by-product ovens used by some Of the
coke manufacturers.
By-products recovered in the use Of
by-product ovens were equal in value
to the cost at the mines Of all coal
used. according to Mr.. Parkers find
ings.
Mr.. Parker's report is supplemented
by the statement OF the superintendent
OF motive power OF the Pennsylvania
railroad, who declares that sufficient
power was wasted in beehive ovens in
the Connellsville. and Lower Connells-
vile districts alone to move twice the
number Of trains handled during the
