DEATH OF MRS. WILKINSON.
Old Lady Removed From County Aims
House Expires at Baltimore Home.

Mrs. Samuel Wilkinson, aged IS
years, died last night at 1915 Bolton
street, Baltimore, the Home of
Widows Of Physicians, after brief
illness.
Mrs. Wilkinson's death was due to
an attack Of acute Indigestion. For
an old lady, she had been in fairly
good health up to short time prior
to her demise The excessive heat
and the shock attendant upon the
sudden death OF Or. Eugene CordelI
who, with his wife, had been in charge
Of the Home, are said to have has
tened the old lady's death.
Mrs. Wilkinson was the last of her
family. She had no living relatives,
but made friends both in Annapolis
and at the Baltimore Home since her
transfer there early last Spring. At
Christmas the desr old lady was
found at the Anne Arundel County
Home. and was the only white wo-
man there at that time. Gentle and
refined, with pleasing personality,
her condition at the Aims House ap-
pealed to the Guild Of Mercy mem
befs, VIII distributed the Christmas
presents, and they Immediately took
a personal interest in the old lady.
The nature of the case was publish
ed in the Evening Capital end Mary
land Gaze tie, and some ladies at Car
vel Hall became interested. Finding
the old lady was the widow of a ply
sician, and also the daughter of a ply
sician, a Home for Widows of Physi-
clans in Baltimore was found al inn
mediately the ladies Of Annapolis set
to work to raise funds to place Mrs.
Wilkinson therein.
The desired amount was donated or
raised by fairs AMI entertainments,
and the old lady was provided with
suitable clothes tc travel, and early
in the Spring she left for Baltimore,
accompanied by Mr.. Lewis, the care
taker OF the County Home, for her
new Home at 1915 Bolton street, that
city. Here she hal all comforts and
made friends among those at the
Home and the visitors.
Dr. A. B. Kiusolving, rector of
St. pau's. Baltimore, has taken q
special interest and care in the dear
old lady, ard members of his parish
have visited her at regular intervals.
The sum raised for Mrs. Wilkinson
was turned over to DR.. Kinsolving
to be devoted to the care and keep Of
Mrs. Wilkinson, and the rector of st.
Paul's was made the custodian of the
money provided for Mrs. Wilkinson's
we flare. Mrs. Cordell, superinten-
dent of the Home, has been most kind
70 the --olti~-4acys whs..-beeaRae very
fond of the superintendent.
Mrs. Wilkinson was possessed OF
sweet, amiable disposition and was
loved by all who knew her. Her case
was pathetic one. She had been
widow for many years. She lived in
Washington and answered an adver
tisement as housekeeper to family
ia Anne Arundel, whom death had
robbed OF the mother. Afte living
there for years the family became
scattered and Mrs. Wilkinson being
friendless and alone, was givsn q
home in the Aims House, where she
was found last Christmas and provi-
sion for her removal was made few
weeks later.
The dear old lady is now at rest
and with her, the last of her family
has passed away.

Don't waste the wsterl
That is the edict that tha officials
of the Annapolis Water Company
would have consumers observe at
least, temporarily, because the sup
ply at the water works has fallen
considerably.
Owing to the long drouth of the
present. summer. the bra iches and
springs that supply the reservoirs
have greatly diminished as far as
the ir output is concerned. and in CON
sequence, the amount of water avail
able at the works is much below nor

of the Water Company, today issued
a warning notice to all consumers 20

WATER SUPPLY FAILING.

The Annapolis Water Co. calls atten-
tion 10 the fact that the springs and
branches are not at present furnishing
as much water as IS being used. and
that the reserve supply in the reser-
voirs is decreasing 1t is therefore i'm
perarive that in all cases caution and
economy shall be observed during the
dry weather. and in order that the wa
ter supply may be conserved as much
as possible for the more vitally neces-
sary uses Of the home, it is recommend
ed that water for lawn and street
sprinkers be used, il at all, with utmost
economy.

BIG SHAKE-UP FOR
THE CHICAGO CUBS
Magnate Murphy Declares One
With an Eastern Club for
Trade of Players.

CHICAGO, May 19.-"One of the big
gest base ball deals of the year be-
tween the Cubs and an eastern club is
in the making. and unless all present
plans go astray it will go through this
week. When it does it will strengthen
the Cubs 100 per cent and will mean q
complete reorganization of the West
Side team.
This was the gist Of an announce
ment made by Charles Webb Murphy.
owner of the Cubs. yesterday.
No names can be given out for the
present said Mr.. Murphy. 1T might
spoil all of Manager Evers plans. SO
we are going to keep quiet until all
of the details are agreed upon. All |
can say is that the deal will bring at
least two pitchers to the West Side
club and the men We part with will not
injure the hitting or fielding work OF
the Trojans."
What Mr.. Murphy means by a com
plete reorganization is not known, but
manager of the West Siders are dis
satisfied with the work of several OF
the stars in days gone by. They are
of the opinion that these players are
not putting forth their best efforts for
the club. They are the athletes slated
to go.
In my opinion" continued the owner

TRY TO MOB UMPIRE.
Newark Fans Enraged at Decision
Which Allowed q Home Run.

NEWARK, n. j.. May ia decision
BY Umpire Hayes of the international
League. that a ball knocked over the
right field fence was a home run led to a
player being taken from the field by the
police yesterday and later on the
minions of the law were obliged to escort
hail of bottles, stones, cushions and
other missiles, and later to escort him
to a train which would take him out
Of town. During the melee a spectator
was struck on the head with a stone and
stunned.
The trouble started in the third inning
of a game between Newark and Roches-
ter The visitors were leading to I
and had two men out and one man on
base linn connected with a fast one
and the ball sailed over the right field
fence. Swacina, the Newark first base
man. declared it foul and protested SC
vigorously when Hayes permitted the
two runs to tally that he was ordered
from the field. He refused to obey the
order Of expulsion and Hayes called on
the police to put him off. This they did
the spectators meanwhile kissing and
hooting the arbiter of the game.
Play was resumed after q short delay
and the Rochester team scored another
run in this inning and another in the
fifth, while Newark went scOreless for the
remaining innings.
When the game ended the crowd surged
out on the diamond and tried to get al
Hayes. Bottles, cushions and stones
filled the air. The police formed hol:
low square about the umpire and led him
to the clubhouse There stones were
hurled through the windows and some OF
the crowd tried to rush the door. Police
reserves finally had to be called to drive
the excited fans from the vicinity of the
ball park. When they had done so the
police took the umpire to the depot and
he left the city.
