Gov. CROTHERS
DIES AT ELKTON
He Was Instrumental In Securing
Important Legislation While
State Executive.

Former Governor Austin Lane Croth-
ers died at 1920 Saturday morning at
the home of his nephew, State Senator
Omar d. Crothers, in Elkton. after an
illness which developed during the clos
ing days of his administration. Bright s
disease, complicated with leak Of the
heart and other ailments. hastened his
death.
His relatives and friends were pre-
pared for the end, as his recovery was
practically declared to be impossible af-
ter visit to him by DIR. McCrea, of
Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore,
about the middle of April. Governor
Crothers was then declared to be suffer
ing with Bright's disease, an opinion in
which his local physician, DR.. Cawley.
concurred.
The Governor was steadily sinking
during Friday and the physicians had
very little hope that he would outlve
the night. About 1890 Friday night he
was taken with one Of the most serious
commissions he had suffered since his
illness. and DR.. Cawley and DR.. Howard
Brattan, who were at his bedside, at
once saw that the end was near.
Governor Crothers was born near
Rock Springs. Cecil County. on the 18th
day of May, 1860, being the eighth son
of Alpheus and Margaret A. Crothers.
AS youth he attended the public
schools. and afterward was a student
at West Nottingham Academy, conduct
ed by Rev. DIR. Samuel Gayley. and re-
ceived instructions under private tutor.
For two years after he left school he
was engaged in the mercantile business
at Conowingo. He then taught in the
public schools and later on began the
reading, of law under his brother, the
late Senator Charles c. Crothers, who
was a candidate for Attorney General
in 1895. He also attended the law de-
partment of the Maryland University.
Baltimore, and was admitted to the
Cecil bar in 1887; in 1891 he was elected
States Attorney for Cecil County over
Robert C. Thackery. Republican, by
more than 400 majority. He also serv-
ed as counsel for the County Commits
sioners.
In 1897 Mr.. Crothers was elected to
the State Senate. and in 1900 was ap-
pointed chairman Of the Finance Com
mittee of that body. this position max
ing him his party's leader in the Senate.
While the Legislature was in session
in 1906 Judge Edwin H. Brown died. and
Gov. Warfeld appointed Mr.. Crothers
as Judge to succeed him. He served as
Judge in the Second Circuit for more
than year.
He was nominated for Governor in
1907. elected and inaugurated in Janu-
ary, 1908. He was a bachelor.
His remains were inferred at West
Nottingham last Tuesday, many promi-
nent men attending the services.

TO WEAR WITH FINE BLOUSE
"Pinafore Gown" Of Linen is one OF
the Newest and Best OF the
Designs offered.

For smarter wear there is beau
tiful model Of very fine linen. This
has a pinafore top with straps over
the shoulders, and is intended to be
worn with a fine blouse. The upper
part of this, including the little
scooped-out apron top and bib. as we'll
as the lower part to below the hips
is a mass of thick embroidery in soft,
glossy, white thread in bold design
of flowers and leaves in relief. From
beneath this embroidered top there
falls a round skirt of linen plainly
hemmed and lightly gathered into it.
The corsage worn with 1t is of white
tulle, with revers and cuffs OF en-
broidered linen.
For smart afternoon. occasions one
sees a good deal of the old-fashioneo
plum color which our grandmothers
delighted in for their stiff silks ant
brocades. A costume Of fine crepe
de chine in this tone had wide
| skirt, knife-kilted from waist to hem
With this there was little cutawa,
coat of the same color and materia
with orange silk revers and cuff
lightly braided with soutache, with
touch Of some really good lace intro
duced into the scheme.

HatIess Craze viii Not Take.

Only a small number of Parish
ennes have dared to venture forth
with the sunshade instead of the hat
to protect their heads from the rays
Of the sun. This fad is not likely to
create much stir or disturb the man
date of fashion very seriously. for the
idea Of a well dressed woman without
a hat is somewhat incongruous.
A craze of this kind originates not
so much from hygienic motives. but
from the desire for sensation. and
women who appear hatless among the
fashionable promenaders are those
who appear in lingerie gowns in De
cember and wear furs in June.

Boudoir Headdresses,

Boudoir headdresses are so dainty
that it is almost impossible to resist
the temptation to wear them publicly.
The latest English model is shaped
like an Anne Boleyn cap. Usually the
crown is made wholly Of shadow net
and edged with French valenciennes.
but it may be Of tucked null and
cluny. and-if expense be not an OBJ
ject-of Duchesse lace. But the cap
positively must have trailing vine OF
tiny flowers IN satin, outlining its
shape sharply and drawn together at
the back with a soft ribbon bow
These caps are lovely in allwhite, all
cream, or all-mauve. and they are
wofidrous odd and chic in dull gray re
lieved by tiny flowers and soft rib
bons in mauve tones.
