MRS. GEN. HOXIE Dying;
IS FAMED SCULPTRESS
Prominent Among Her Art Works Are
Statues of Lincoln and Admiral
Fanagut in Washington.

Mrs. Richard L. Hoxie, wife Of Brig.
Gen. Hoxie, U. s. A, retired, is seriously
III at her home, 1892 K street northwest.
Mrs. Hoxie, whose name before her
marriage was Winnie Ream, is world
famed as sculptress. Notable among
her works are the statues OF Abraham
Lincoln in the Rotunda Of the Capitol,
and that OF Admiral Farragut in Far
ragut Square. The latter Is within view
OF the room In which Mrs. Hoxie lies SO
dangerously Ill.
The latest work completed by her Is
the bronze bust OF the late Gov. Kirk
wood, OF Iowa, which was presented by
that State to the government about a
year ago. Mrs. Hoxle now holds a COM
mission from the State Of Oklahoma for
a bust of-Seauoyah. This is partly COM
pleted, a full-blooded Sioux Indian, Ish-
ca-bu-lah, having sat as the model.
Few persons have been given Masonic
distinction as has Mrs. Hoxie. In 1877
Albert Pike, sovereign grand commander
Of the Supreme Council OF the sd degree
OF the Ancient and Accepted Scottihs
Rite OF Free Masonry for the South
ern Jurisdiction Of the United States,
gave her letter addressed to all Free
Masons in all countries, in which IL was
recited that at his hands she had received
the degree Of the ancient French rite
OF adoption. This was used in her travels
abroad, bringing many courtesies to her.
Mrs. Hoxie also has the diStinction OF
having Vinita, Okla. named for her. Her
commission from Congress for the statue
Of Lincoln was the first one given by that
body to a woman.
Mrs. Hoxie was born in Madison, Wis,
on September Is, 1s47, and married Gen.
Hoxie when he was a lieutenant in the
United States Engineer Corps She is a
graduate of Christian College, Columbia.

complication of diseases She was taken
i'll In the Hoxle home in Iowa and was
brought to Washington about two weeks
ago on a special car. attended by two
doctors and two nurses. For a while
hope was entertained for her recovery,
but a turn for the worse occurred yes

home here at the Highlands, will be one
OF the honorary pallbearers at the fu-
neral.
Mr.. Clarkes experience in 1865 as stem
ographer to the Freedmen's Bureau In
vestigating commission, commended him
to Gov. Kellogg. He had settled in New
Orleans, where he introduced stenog-
raphy in the local courts, at the invita-
ton OF the New Orleans Bar Associa-
ton. 1r his capacity as secretary TO
Gov. Kellogg he ran just about the same
chances as while secretary to Maximil'
IAN
During the Kellogg administration,
declares a writer who knew Mr.. Clarke
then. "the State government was cor
raled In the State house about once year
for six weeks or so by an unwilling con-
stituency - and in September. 1874
a battle was fought In the streets OF
New Orleans in which more than 100
men were killed, and the State house
took refuge in Uncle Sans custom
house"
Built Up n. r. ID. system.
Mr.. Clarke came to Washington in 1877
as chief of the United Press Bureau and
representative OF New York papers. He
was in active newspaper work here un-
I'll 1897, when he accepted a position In
the Postoffice Department under Presi-
dent McKinley's administration.
He started the rural free delivery sys-
tenn with two clerks, forty routes and
an appropriation Of 10000. BY 1901 there
were 4,5cO routes and the annual Rppro-
priation amounted to $4,000. His work
In building up the service was comment
ed on widely in England and Europe.
He resigned from the department in 1910
because Of Ill health.
Mr.. Clarke was one of the most ac-
tive workers in the GridIron Club. in
which he served in several official capac-
tiles. Up to recently, when his health
necessitated almost continuous confine-
ment, he was a member OF the National
Press Club.
Leaves Many Friends.
Retiring and quiet by nature. Mr..
Clarke bloomed forth into the best OF
good company when among his friends.
Possessor OF a quick. dry wit and a keen
sense OF humor. he combined these traits
with a thorough and kindly understand
ing OF human nature. a charitable in
sight into men and their emotions, and
a wide fund Of information and anecdote
that made him a boon acquisition to any
gathering. His grasp on politics and
economic Questions was comprehensive.
and his judgment quick and accurate.
His passing not only means another
glass turned down in the rapidly mar
rowing circle OF men who made the ma
tion'c Capital famous throughout the
world by their work and play-it means
the passing Of a dear companion and
loyal friend for thousands with whom
he came in contact during his long
career.
Selected His PalIbearerS.
To Mr.. Clarke. Washington. his friends
and associations were very dear. and de-
spite a tugging desire to return to Eng
land upon his retirement, he remained
here to be close to those with whom he
had worked and played continuously for
nearly forty years.
