DEATH OF G.E. HEPBURN
Old and Well-Known Printer Sue
cumbs to Paralysis at His Home
Last Night.

George T. Hepburn, who has oeeh
suffering from paralysis Tor many
wears. died at his home on Faif1aA
street, near Wolfe, at o'clock iass @
night. The deceased was about %
years old. He is survived by Wlo-

Mr.. Hepburn while a small boy pc
came an apprentice to the pruning
business in Warrenton, and was iater
an attache Of the Alexandria Gazette
In the latter part of the eighties,
when the free silver mania was spread
inp over the country, Senator Stewart
of Nevada, fitted out printing office
on the north side of Cameron street,
between Royal and Pitt, where ne
published the "Silver Knight and
other papers in th. interest of the
movement. He placed a man namd
Simon over the plant and Mr.. Hep
burn became his assistant. The de-
feat of William Jennings Bryan, for
President and the fnan~.al depres-
sion which followed in the ranks OF
the silver advocates brought the Ia
bors of the Alexandria publishing
house to a close, after which MIR.
Hepburn became foreman of the Law
Reporter, a Washington publication,
Industrious and trustworthy, he
worked faithfully until the wheels Of
life were about to stand still. The
introduction of type-setting ma
chimes finally brought his printorial
career to close. He had in the
meantime received several slight
strokes of paralysis, the effects Of
which gradually rendered him help
less, and for some time he had been
unable to leave his home, where ne
sat and patiently awaited the final
summons which came to him early
last night. Mr.. Hepburn was a
member of Columbia Typographical
Union, No. 1Ol, of Washington.
The arrangement for the funeral

SERVICES TOMORROW
Many Activities in Local Churches
of All Denominations-to Continue
Through Week.

During the past week there have
been over sixty strictly religious
meetings in Alexandria, not including
those of the Revival during the
earlier part of it. In all the churches
this activity is in large measure due
to the Revival and the fact that
all the Protestant churches are re-
ceiving large accessions to their
membership. The Presbyterian church
has added more than one hundred new
members to it's rolls and a number
of the other churches have received
cards of converts of the Revival which
would appear to indicate that the
member they will receive will be as
large. The pastors say, however, that
it will be impossible to give the de-
finite figures for several weeks yet.
In practically all the churches to-
morrow new members will be receiv-
ed.
