An Omen Letter.

To the Members of the r. O. >. Of a.
The position OF the Patriotic Order
Sons Of America in the great frater-
nal order parade, which will take
place i'm Baltimore on September 9th,
during the celebration OF the cen
tennial Of the Star Spangled Banner,
has been definitely determined. The
Red Men will lead the first division.
The Patriotic Order Sons OF America
will lead the second division. Each
division will be unit, and ours will
be the best position i'm the line.
There are about one thousand mem
bers of the order in Carroll county.
We should have not less than two
hundred and fifty of them in the pa
rade. All who can arrange to be In
line, should at once give their names
to the secretaries of their respective
camps, together with the price of a
uniform and have their measures sent
without delay to the tailors.
Many are coming from the camps
or Western Maryland and the Eastern
Shore. Baltimore's contingent will
of course be the largest for the rea-
son that at least half of the member
ship in the State il in that city
Most Of the camps have contributed
toward the expense of an historic
float, which will be one of the most
significant and interesting in the
parade. The order will have only
the one float in line; all members will
be clothed alike.
Here il an opportunity for every
member of the order to show his de-
votion to the principles to which he
has vowed allegiance. The call comes
to us to Rally round the Flag" 1t
is the call to us as individuals. Let
every man who can do so follow the
flag that day, keeping step to the
music Of the Union"
All members from Carroll county
will meet at Harrison's Hall, Fulton
avenue, on the day Of the parade.

MRS. WOODROW WILSON DEAD
President Wilson By His Wife's Bed
side When End Comes.

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife Of the
President of the United States, died
at the White House at 5 o'clock yes-
terday afternoon. Death came after
a brave struggle of months against
Bright's disease, with complications.
The President was completely I'M
nerved by the shock and his grief
was heartrending. He bore up well
under the strain, however, and de-
voted himself to his daughters
The end came while Mrs. Wilson
was unconscious. Her illness took a
turn for the worse shortly before l
o'clock in the afternoon, and from
then on she grew gradually weaker
Kneeling at the bedside at the end
were the President and their three
daughters. DIR. Cary It. Grayson, VI.
s. ~, and a nurse were in the room.
Both houses of Congress adjourn
ed when Mrs. Wilson's death was an
nounced, and for a brief time the
wheels of the Government were prac-
tically stopped, while everyone paid
respect to the Presidents bereave-
ment.
Mr.. Wilson took-his daughters, Mrs.
W. G. McAdoo, Mrs. Sayre and Miss
Margaret Wilson, and told them of their
mothers condition. Until then they
had thought there was a chance for
her recovery.
From that time on the President
and his daughters remained constant
ly at Mrs. Wilson's bedside. The
President held his wife's hand, and
the three daughters were grouped
nearby. Until she became uncon-
scious, Mrs. Wilson frequently nod
ded to one or the other and smiled
cheerfully.
During the day Mrs. Wilson spoke
to DIR. Grayson about the President,
whose health she thought more about
than she did of her own.
Promise me-" she whispered faint
ly, that if l go, you will take care of
my husband"
Mrs. Wilson was the typical Ameri-
can woman of that class with whom
she spent the greater part of her
life-the wives of university profess
sors who live in small college towns
and in the home cultivate the virtues
of plain living and high thinking to
their fullest flower The atmosphere
of motherhood and of home fairly
radiated from her, and in the first mo-
ment of meeting her one knew chat
she and her husband had lived in
close companionship, surrounded by
their work, their daughters, their
friends and their books, striving al
ways toward a realization of their
highest ideals.
