VOLUME I. PRESIDENT'S WIFE WAS SUMMONED BY DEATH Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, After a Brave Fight Died Aug. 6th. NO FUNERAL NOTICES WASHINGTON, D. 0., Aug. 6. —Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the President of the Pnited States, died at the White House at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Death came after a brave struggle of months against Bright's disease and other complications. Kneeling at the bedside at the end were the President and their three daughters. I)r. Gary T. Gray son. 1. S. N., and a nurse were in the room, and just outside of the door were Secretary McAdoo and Francis B. Savre, Mr. Wilson's son-in-law, and Mr. Tumulty, his secretary. Both Houses of Congress ad journed whe Mrs. Wilson's death was announced, and for a brief time the wheels of the Government practically stopped, while every one paid respect td the loss of the President. Majority Leader Underwood, of the House, hurried o the floor as soon as he received word from the White House, lie stopped the dis cussion of the Moon railway pay bill. LICENSES ARE READY! HUNTERS MAY NOW SECURE THEIS PRIVILEGES FROM THE COUN TY TREASURER. County Treasurer J. Willis Wilson is now ready to disburse the hunters' licenses for this coming season and already quite a number have paid the required fee and were given the little > piece of oilcloth that gives them per- ■ mission to hunt the elusive rabbit and that animal's companions of the wild. The attempt to have the hunting li censes for this year issued from the offices of the justices of the peace has failed. It appears that last year much time was lost by the manner in which the licenses were issued, and it was planned to have books of "tags" sent to the various offices of the magis trates in the different towns. This was done in a number of counties last season with great success. Licenses will therefore be issued in much the same manner as they were last year. The hunter will go before the squire and make application. This year the squire will immediately col lect the fee. The hunter must hand the magistrate a stamped self-ad dressed envelope to be sent to the county treasurer with the application and then the license will be mailed directly to the hunter making the ap plication. \ Former Normal Instructor Holds Brilliant Position, in Cleveland William Wrigley. former violin instructer of the Nor mal Conservatory of Music, lias recently accepted the po sition of head of the violin department of the new De troit Institute of Musical Art.

'"lt is my sad duty." he said.; to announce to the House the; death of Mrs. Wilson, the wife of the President of the United States. 1 think the House should show the proper respect at this time, and 1 therefore move the adoption of the) following resolution : House Resolution "Resolved, That the House has heard with profound sorrow of the death of Mrs. Woodrow Wil son. wife of the President of the I nited States. "Resolved, further. That a coin- j uiittee composed of the Speaker and one additional member from each State in tlie Union, be ap pointed to attend the funeral. "Resolved, further, That as a mark of respect the House do now adjourn." The resolution was adopted in silence. Mrs. Wilson was 50 years old. and when she came to the White House was in robust health. Al ways a home lover, she neverthe less immediately assumed the ar duous duties of the wife of the President. She took an active in terest in public affairs, and fre quently received delegations call ing on the President when he was too busy with other matters. Even during her last illness she fre quently asked to be informed of the events of the United States and of the world. MARRIAGE LICENSES. Dorr—Roof.

I Its Influence In the Melting Pot of the Latin Races. South America is the melting pot of the Latin races, ami the French influ ence now seems to predominate over that of Spain Italy is well represent ed, especially in strong Argentina . Brazil seems tc be the most polyglot of them all, for here the native Porm guese is mingled not only with the Spanish and French and English, but a great deal of German. In the south of Brazil 90 pel cent of the people sneak German, and Portuguese is not always enforced as the language even of the public schools. The large German colonies here do not affiliate with these people as tbe> do with the Anglo-Saxon brothers or the north They live to themselves, they retain their own language and customs in chile, where there are many English too, the Germans direct the education of the country Buenos Aires is close to this Germanic group In southern Brazil and feels its influ ' ence, though Argentina seems the most ! unitied and progressive of the repub lies in point of literary expression and culture. French influence also is felt in Bra ; zil. Rio de Janeiro itself was founded i as a refuge for French Huguenots, though they were afterward driven back. In Paris today one hears that a youth is to emigrate to America, but probably it is to Rio that he is going. There are many French immigrants, and French is required in most of tbe schools and is next to the native tongue in importance in northern Brazil. For merly in Brazil Spanish or German al ways came next to French, but it is said that some of the states now re quire English as the third language and that Brazilians are proud of their English.—Christian Science Monitor Suspicious. Ernest Vizetelly, who has publish ed a record of his experiences dur ing the Franco-Prussian war, tells a story to illustrate the popular mania for discovering "treason" that prevail ed in Paris. He says that one day a soldier re marked to a comrade: "I am sure that the captain is a trai tor." "How's that?" was the rejoinder. "Well." said the suspicious soldier "have you not noticed that every tine he orders us to march forward we in variably encounter the enemy?" Executions In Europe.

(>. —Official an nouncement is made that the bat tle continues to rage around Liege, Belgium. The German shell lire has reduced two of the Liege forts but the Belgians continue to re sist with untiring energy. The Germans were able to use their light siege guns against the forts of Liege, which are 1 years old. Two of them were silenced and the German columns broke through. The other forts are hold ing out. The Belgians are making a determined resistance before the city. The situation at Liege, ac cording to the latest dispatches, was as follows: If the German army succeeds in carrying Liege it will find itself confronted by an entrenched camp at Xamur, at which the Belgians are preparing to make a stand as fierce as that at Liege. The Belgian army was brilliant ly fulfilling its task of delaying the German advance, and it ap peared certain the German staff's plan ot campaign in Belgium would be hindered by the obsti nate stand of the Belgians.
