WIFE PASSES AWAY ONLY A
SHORT TIME AFTER DEATH OF
HER HUSRAND-DOUeLE FUN
ERAL YESTERDAY.

A pail of gloom was thrown over
the city Sunday afternoon when it
was learned that Mrs Duncan Wright
had passed away after an illness Of
only about a week, her death follow
ing close upon that Of her husband,
at an early hour on the morning of
the same day.
Mrs. Wright contracted severe
cold little over a week ago This
rapidly developed into pneumonia and
from the first the case was serious.
Captain Wright, who had been in i'll
health for several years and in a very
weak state, became so alarmed over
the illness of his wife that he became
Frustrated, and while the attending
physicians and nurses were still hop
ing for coed results in the sickroOm
of Mrs. Wright, Captain Wright was
suddenly stricken and in a few hours
had paid the debt which all must pay.
Mrs. Wright was unconscious at the
time OF her husbands death and re-
mained so to the end, not knowing
that he had preceded her to rest.
Mrs. Wright, who was the younger
daughters of Charles A and Margaret
Russell, the former of Deerfield,
Mass, the latter of Charleston, was
born in Charleston, September 26,
1860, just one day after the birth of
her husband
The family removed to Brunswick
in the early seventies, and beci me
clC@~lv identified with her social ana
business affairs. Mrs Wright was
devoted member of the Cathol .
church and was woman whose nama
had become a synonym for all tha;
stands for charitable works and good
deeds. Sacrificing her life to duty
and the dictates Of rigid conscience,
she was esteemed, respected and
owed by all who knew her.
She was a great lover of the beau
tiful and especially fond OF music and
flowers. From her garden many a
choice bouquet went to cheer the room
OF some sufferer, or to the altar of
the church which she loved so well.
In her death the church, her friends,
and the community, have suffered an
irreparable loss

indications furnished the official
reports. Following close the an
nouncement from Constan inople that
Russian offensive along he 100-mile
front south of AraSa had b. N inaugu-
rated, comes the further news that the
attack is being pressed. NJ litary OBJ
servers have been expecting or some

slow in developing in magnitude, but
it now appears that the preparations

The move is doubtless in coniunc-

nearby Mesopotamia and the Russian
activity in Persia. Important devel-
opments on the other fronts are
lacking.
There is as yet no indications that
the Teutonic allies are ready for
