In plot it is simple. Robert Stafford,
weglthy man, weds Virginia
Blatae, poor working girl. In his
cups he tells her that he bought
and paid for her. She knew It if
he hadn't said eo. Like John L.,
it happens one-time,too many. The

SENATOR BACON DIED
IN WASHINGTON LAST
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Washington, Feb. 16.?Augustas
Dctavlus Bacon, United StateB Senator
from Georgia for nearly nineteen
years and chairman of the
foreign relations committee alnce the
ascendency of the Democratic party
March 4, 1913, Saturday died In
& hospital here after an Illness of
ten days. He was the first United
States Senator elected by" direct
voto of the people under the seventeenth
constitutional amendment.
Though Senator Bacon had been
seriously 111 with kidney trouble and
complication? developing from a
broken rib, his death was unexpected.
It came suddenly at 2 o'clock
in the afternoon, and news of the
end fell upon the senate as a shock
while it was in executive ecssiou.
The immediate cause of the senator's
death was dlagnozcd as a
blood clot in the heart. Through
out tho morning he had been in good
colleagues that he wag feeling bet
ter than for several days. Physicians
had determined that an oper
atlon, which had been contemplated
was unnecessary. Despite his '{76
years, It appeared that the, affile
tlon which he suffered was of recem
origin, and specialists believed II
would yield to treatment. This con
elusion relieved considerably the
anxiety of his friends and "assocl
ates In Congress.
Half an hour before his death th
senator talked with his daughter
Mrs. W. B. Sparkes of Georgia. Sh
had just left the room when he rais
ed himself In bed. As Mrs Spark
re-entered* the room her father fc'
back In colfapse and never regain
ed consciousness.
In the absence of Senator Hok<
Smith of Georgia, Senator Overmai
was notified and proceedings In th
senate were abruptly Btoppcd whei
the North Carolina senator announc
ed the death. A brief resolution o
respect was adopted and the s na:
adjourned.
HOl*R IB CHANGED.
The Minister's Union of the clt
at their. last meeting decided t
change the hour for prayermeetln
from ">.30 to 8 o'clock. This chang
goes Into effpct on next Wednesday
