Masons. and he is one OF the few men
in the State who have been honored

Thornton married daughter OF the
late Colonel John Bell Bigger, for
many years clerk of the house OF dele

Nearly twenty years ago, when sub
station postoffices were established IN
Richmond. Mr.. Thornton was placed
in charge of Station A, and since that
time he has remained In charge OF
the office. Each succeeding admins
tration has refused to disturb him--a
tribute to the manner In which he has
conducted the business OF his office.
He Is ait all times and has ever been.
a Democrat. Attention to the business
in which he was engaged has won for
him many Communications from In
spectors and high officials Of the post
office department. His endorsements
include machine men, and anti-ma-
chine men, and his appointment will
have no factional significance.
Sometime ago. soon after Wilson
was indicted into office, there was a
movement to get endorsements for
Mr.. Thornton. He said he wanted
the position OF postmaster, declared
that he would appreciate the support
of his friends, and they rallied to him
in fashion that made him feel good.
A meeting was called at the Jefferson
hote! and steps were planned for a
campaign in his interest. And all
those who attended were not Demo-

ANATOMY.

Taking two apparently unrelated
subjects and showing their close in
terelation. Dr. j. w. Broadnax. assoc
ciate professor OF anatomy In the
Medical College of Virginia. spoke to
a well attended meeting OF the Art
club yesterday afternoon in the rooms
of the Richmond Art club. His sub
ject was Artistic Anatomy"
Ever since the establishment OF
anatomy as a science, art has been an
useful adjunct to its study and teach
ing, and on the other hand anatomy
has rendered a service to art equally
as great as she has received" said DR..
Brodnax.
ITO the great artists OF the Euro
pean renaissance, anatomy owes
much" DR.. Broadnax continued. "Ail

omy They associated themselves
with men learned in the medical
sciences of their day, and their skilled
pencil recorded the achievements OF
those early Investigators In characters
that all men could understand"

Here DR. Brodnax stated that the
medical profession has produced many
men whose artistic ability would have
made them artists OF note. had not
their destiny called them to be famous
In their chosen calling instead. He
cited the examples Of DR.. Paul Richer.
Of Berlin, who wrote what Is consid-
cred the best treatise on anatomy ever
printed. and who drew all of the ac-
companying Illustrations, and the
names Of Bell. Maclise, Holden and
Goodlee, all of England, and all OF
whom were accomplished artists.
DR.. Brodnax urged his hearers to
study the human body and skeleton,
saying, THE application of anatomy
to the plastic arts began when anat-
omy was first put upon a scientific
basis by the practice Of dissection
upon the human body. This new de-
parture in the study Of anatomy was
!naugurated by Frederick the Second.
emperor OF Germany and king of
Sicily. who. In the year 1890, passed
a law prohibiting the practiclng Of
medicine. without the practitioner

Mrs. William n Libby

Mrs. Mehitable (Tibbetts) Libby, widow
of the late William III. Libby, passed
away at her home Cedar street early
Friday morning after an illness of more
than five months
Mrs. Libby was the daughter OF James
and Sarah (GetchelD Tibbetts and was
born in Litchfield, Me-. Jan. 2S, 1880. Her
early life was spent In Litchield, Shfr-
ley and Plymouth. In 1858 she married
William H. Libby, for many years sher-
iff il Kennebec county. All her married
life was passed in Augusta, most of it in
the home where she passed away.
Mrs. Libby was one of the few older
residents who were left in Augusta and
her death is felt by a wide circle of
friends.
Not to a few. but to everyone with
whom she came in contact. did she en-
dear herself. Her interest in the welfare
of her friends was strong to the last.
Mrs. Lfbby's chief interest was her
home and family. No one could have had
more love for family or have been more
devoted or self-sacrifcing. Weak as she
sometimes was physically, she seemed to
live for the son and daughter, whose ev-
cry thought was to keep mother with
them
Energy and self-reliance characterized
her entire life. Many times has death
come to her home, taking some years ago
husband and all but one son and one
daughter of her eight children. Yet she
was always submissive to the Higher
VIII and calmly lived her life with an
unfaltering trust that all was for the
best.
Mrs Libby is survived by a son, Fred
w. Libby, daughter, Miss Gussfe T.
Libby. and grandson, Fred Libby. The
deepest sympathy of many friends and
neighbors goes to these relatives, who
SO tenderly ministered to and cared for
their mother during her long illness
Funeral services will be held at P.
M. Monday at the home, "a Cedar street.
