Mr d II Shall died in llaliiniore.
Md.. Saturlay night at 11: in
o'clock His death was not miex
peeled, and etune as no surprise to
those of his relatives and friends
who were familiar with his eondi
tion. lie had been in falling health
for some time, and had been un lei
treatment in Baltimore for about
two months. Soon after his arrival
at the hospital a delicate operation
was found to he necessary and when
performed the attending surgeons
announced thin his case was hope
less and that death was pructlcall>
inevitable and was likely to occui
at any time. Although he suffered
untold agony, he was a patient sul
ferer, took his condition philosoph
ically and awaited the end with much
more composure and a greater de
gree* Of resignation than is usually
displayed by those in like condition
His wife ami two of his brut Iters
.1. D. and Kd ward were at Id
bedside when the end came. These,
with an aged, mother, who was too
feeble to go to Batitnore, an infant
child, and H I Shot!, (also a
brother) survive him.
He was married in 1900 to Mis.
Clara Bibb, of Hinton, this state,
tite occasion having the elopement
tinge of romance, and the ceremon\
being performed in Bristol, Tenn
His mat ried life was a thoroughl
happy one with the single exception
ot the death of two children. He was
a printer, a member of Bluelield
Typographical i'nion No. Gil. and
up to the time of his recent and las;
illness was foreman of the job and
'ad" departments ,,t the Dally
Telegraph He was also a member
of ttie Knights of Pythias.
Mr. Shott was horn in Staunton.

in In 96. and had made this his
home since that time
Pik* tie* majority of young men,
deceased sowed his share of wild
oats in tin* years heforo his mai
riage not in the sense of a de
bauch. tint in the lighter vein of
sport and open living. However, all
this ceased years ago, and after his
matrimonial venture he transformed
himself into the quiet. peaceable
citizen of whom any town might feel
proud.
Without an enemy on cart it, ami
with a firm faith in the promised
hope of better tilings in the here
after, ihe soul of this young man
has returned to its maker.
There was perhaps not a bettei
known or a bigger hearted hoy in all
Mluetield than John Hamilton Shot),
and his passage to that bourne from
whence no traveler ever returns lias
cast a shadow over the hearts of his
relatives and friends that time in its
ever hastening course down the ages
will not dispel, and the memory of
■the young mans many good nails of
character will live in the hearts and
minds of those who knew him best

The remains were brought to this

“TIGE” IN
BUSTER BROWN.
With the Muster Brown Company
which comes to the Klks Opera
I louse. Saturday. March 1*5. Is a
man who has made himselm famous
by playing dog. Muster Brown with
out Tige would be like “home wlth
ou: a mother." Jack Bell. who
plays the part of Tige certainly
knows dogs. His reconstruction of
I ige's quizzical countenance is a
masterpiece in paint, papier-mache
i and canvas. Ferocity, amiability
I curiosity; even that peoulairly sub
tle and illusive “doggish" emotion
called humor is flitted clearly and
easily across his canine mask. He
wags his tail, licks his chops, tracks
foot-prints with tremendous energy,
worries the tramp’s boots and just
plays dog.
There are always a great many
| people in the audience who wait to
| see him assume his expression of
I pleasant preoccupation which is pe
culiar to the dog. when lie stretches
jmit his neck, crooks his hind leg
or his left ear.
“Muster Brown" is a musical com
!‘*dy with forty people, mostly girls,
| and is said to be intoxicatingly fun
nv and one that is appreciated alike
by young and old. from five to flftv
