SUDDEN
SUMMONS
Heart Trouble Causes Death
of Mrs. Virginia Grey
Sunday.

Mrs. Virginia Winfree Grey died
rlther suddenly Sunday afternoon at
$50 O'Clock at the home of her
brother, Judge w. P. Winfree. She
had been sufferer from asthma for
some time, but the immediate cause
o death was heart trouble, compli-
Gated with kidney disease. Mrs.
Grey was apparently in her usual
health Sunday morning, but when
attacked with the trouble that caused
death she survived only few hours.
She had been a resident of Byron,
California, since 1871, but she and
her only surviving sister, Mrs. Irene
McMullen, had been here on a visit
since last July and they had planned
to leave for their home on the Pacific
coast in week or ten days. The
deceased was born in Christian
county July IS, 1S49, and was a
daughter of the late S. T. and Ellen
Winfree. She was married to N. E.
Grey, a son of N. E. Grey, ST., a
prominent lawyer here many years
ago, in December, 1868, and was the
fifth of a family OF fourteen children.
After her marriage she and her hus-
band resided at Columbus, KY, for a
year or more before moving to Cali
fornia.
Mrs. Grey had been a member of
the Episcopal church for many years
and was a pious christian lady, loved
by every one who knew her. Her
funeral services were at Grace
Episcopal church yesterday afternoon
at 3 o'clock by Rev. G. C. Abbtt and
the interment took place in River
side Cemetery. Ten nephews of the
deceased acted as pail bearers.

MADAME X TO-DAY.

Craving the love her husband is too
busy to supply, Jacqueline clandes-
timely meets Eugene, a former lover,
and Floriot sees everything. Disre-
garding her pleas, Floriot sends her
away. A very short time later
Eugene meets with an accident and
poor Jacqueline is left alone. She
returns to Floriot's house to see little
Raymond, her child, and again Floriot
drives her away. Unable to secure
work, and desperate for the want of
food, she accompanies Manuel Gar
cia, a disreputable Cuban, to Havana.
Sweethearts are plentiful, and Garcia
soon tires of JAcqueline.
In the depths of degradation, she is
about to end it all when she meets
