AN ESTIMABLE
LADY PASSES
TOHERREWARD
WIDOW OF THE LATE WILLIAM
M. LoFTIN, FOUNDER OF THE
PENSACOLA JOURNAL, AND
MOTHER OF SCOTT M. LoFTIN,
COUNTY SOLICITOR, DIES SUD-
DENLY.

Few deaths in this city have caused
late Mrs. Loreto c. Loftin, VINO pass
ed quietly away, surrounded by her
sorrowing children, on Friday morn
at $3.50 o'clock at the family residence
on North Guillemarde street.
Mrs. Loftin had not been in robust
health for several months, but her con-
dition at no time seemed serious. On
Wednesday night she suffered an at
tack of acute indigestion, which in
duced heart failure, the immediate
cause Of her death. The attending
physician was DIR. Louis DEM. Blocker.
The funeral services will be con-
Quoted on Sunday morning at ten
o'clock from the family residence, 513
North GuilIemarde street, by the
Rev. Eugene r. Pendleton, interment
to be in St. Johns cemetery.
Mrs. Loftin was born on September
18th, 1853. She was Miss Loreto G.
Thomasson, of Montgomery, before her
marriage to the late William M. Lof-
tin. She moved with her husband
to Pensacola twenty-four years ago.
Mr. Loftin, who was the founder Of
The Pensacola Journal, died in 1899.
She Is survived by one sister, Mrs.
w. T. Angel, of Birmingham, Ala, and
seven children, Mrs. 4. H. Johnson,
Scott NJ. Loftin, county solicitor Of
Escambia county, Mrs. Leslie e.
Brooks, Lit. Edward H. Loftin, Mrs. G.
H. Cushman, Misses Katherine and
Josie Loftin.
Mrs. Angel will arrive this after
noon from Birmingham. accompanied
by her son, John Angel. Lit. Edward
Loftin, who is stationed at Norfolk, in
command of the u. 8. S. Bailey, viii
arrive on Sunday at a. m, and Mr..
and Mrs. G. H. Cushman are expected
to arrive this afternoon from Atlanta
Since the death of her husband Mrs.
Loftin had devoted her every energy
to the devoted care of her children.
Like the mother of the Graccht she
said: These are my Jewels
She was in all respects, wonderful
woman. For she was more than the
wife, the mother-she was a vitalizfng
force in any work she undertook. A
woman, feminine and tender, with the
force of character and the strength of
purpose that men might envy.
Her passion was her home and chill
dren, but her charity was wide and
her Christian life a beautiful example.
Such life as hers was not only a
gift unreasonable to her children, but
In which she lived. Tt has been said
that the highest tribute that may be
paid any woman is in the simple
words: "She was a good wife and
mother" This she was in the fullest
sense and besides this devoted friend,
wherever she gave her friendship. Her
loss is not only to her children, but
Is deeply felt wherever her influence
extended.

CLABBY'S BOXING

and clever foot work enabled him to
keep out of range OF Browns wild and
vicious swings, which the Greek un-
lCus"d In every round.
The only damage done I'm the entire
fab. was when Brown planted a right
cross on Clabby's left eye which caus-
,J 10 10 swell shut in the following
session. Although Brown was the re-
r.tvor general Of most OF Clabbys
well aimed and timely punches. the
Greek bore no marks Of the battle as
hn left the ring
Do was an uninterestinE fight to
watch. There was too much bulling
and wrestling with infghting which
the average spectator does not care
to see. Brown was accused Of holding
repeatedly and the Kisses which this
sort OF work drew from the spectators
was due 10 the fact that the spectators
did not understand his style OF fight
Jig

tuuslly and would not box at long
range. In all his battles, Brown bores

body punches 10 so weaken an oppo-
