MRS. 0. J. THIES SUCCUMBS
AFTER A BRAVE AND
PATIENT FIGHT
' Mrs. Nettie McNinch.Thies, wife of
Mr. Oscar J. Thies, president of the
Carolina Realty Company, died at the
Presbyterian Hospital Sunday night at
8:30 o'clock following a month's ill
ness. .
f
Mrs. Thies had not been well for
two months prior to entering the hos
pital and underwent a serious opera
tion the following day. She seemed
I to improve for a time but it was soon
learned that she would have to under
go a second operation which she did
two weeks ago today. Later perito
nitis set in and for the past week
those who watched by her bedside re
alized her death was but a question of
time. Mrs. Thies before her marriage
was Miss Virginia Nettie McNinch,
daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs.
Franklin A. McXlnch of this city. She.
was born iri Charlotte Nov. 30. 1868,
and was therefore 44 years of age.
She was married to Mr. Thies Novem
ber 7, 1895, and the husband, with
two sons, Oscar J. . Thies, Jr., and
Frank Thies age 15 and 7, respective
ly, survive. A sister, Mrs. Frank
Brannon Smith, and two brothers,
Messrs. S. S. and Frank' A. MdXinch,
also survive.
The news of the death of Mrs. Thies
will bring sorrow to a host of friends.
She was a woman of high character,
with a sweet, gentle and retiring na
ture. She bore her suffering with
marked fortitude and was cheerful
and conscious to the last.
The deceased was a loyal and con
sistent member of the Second Presby
terian church which she joined soon
after her marriage. When the Knox
Presbyterian church was recently or
ganized at Elizabeth Heights she
moved her membership there. Mrs.
Thies was a member of the Charlotte
Chapter Daughters of the American
Revolution. She always took an ac
tive part and was regarded as one of
the chapter's most valued members.
' The funeral wfll take place at the
residence, J510 Elizabeth avenue,
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Rev.
Dr. A. A. McGeachy, pastor of the
Second, church, assisted by Rev. D. H.
Rolston, pastor of the First Presby
terian church, will conduct the serv
ice. The pall-bearers will be Messrs. W.
H. Twitty, H. M. McAden, Robert Las
sater, B. Rush Iee, J. Renwick
Wilkes, W. R. Wearn, A. B. Justice
and A, M. Young.
AN IRISH JOKE
THAT 18 APROPOS
Remarking upon the fact that work
men were engaged in tearing up for
the third time a strip of bitulithic
pavement on South Tryon street that
was first removed to enable the Pos
tal Telegraph and Cable Company to
put its wiree underground, an alder
man today told an Irish Joke, that is
very apropos. An Irishman was oper
ated upon for appendicitis. After the
wound had healed up nicely the sur
geon convinced himself that he left
an instrument in the cavity and had
sewn it up. Pat was cut open again.
This time the patient-did not get
along so nicely and an X-ray exami
nation revealed the fact that a big
wab of gauze had been left in the
wound. As Pat was being placed on
the operating table the third time, he
earnestly and innocently suggested to
the surgeon that a pair Of small
'hinges and hooks and eyeg be used
this time so that in opening him up
thereafter the knife would not be nec
essary. , :
Likewise with this particular strip
of paving, much work would be saved
if hinges were pit on one side. ' V
Dysentery is always serious-and of
ten a dangerous disease, but It can

POLICE LOOKING
FOB HORSE THIEVES
The local police officers are on a
sharp lookout for two horse thieves,
both of -whom are thought to be in this
community. A day or so ago a man
giving his name as Sam Gibson hired
a horse and buggy from the Reid livery
Stable of this city and has not yet
returned. He got a black horse hitched
to a black buggy. Gibson claimed to
be working on the farm of D W. H.
Wakenld, appeared to be about 25 years
I of age, and wore a damaged gray suit
of clothes.
Another case was reported of horse
stealing to the police here, from Gas
tonia. .. The thief got a horse from Wil
son's stables in Gastonia and was
chased towards Charlotte as far as
Sloan's ferry. It is thought that he
came on to Charlotte, but no trace of
him has been found. .
Horse stealing is a dangerous offense
in this State, the penalty calling for
a long term in the penitentiary.
AMERICAN ATHLETES TAKE
PART IN MEET AT HAMBURG.
HAMBURG, July 22. A number of
the American participants in the
swimming competitions at the recent
Olympic games at Stockholm took
part in a swimming meet here yes
terday. The Hawaiian "Duke" Kah
anamoku won the 100 meters event
in the world's record time of 1 min
ute 1 1-5 seconds. P. C. McGillvray,
Illinois Athletic Club, Chicago, was
second.
George Hodson, Canada, won the
Kaiser prize in the 800 meters race ln
which his time was 7 minutes 23 sec
onds. Nicholas P. Nereh of the New
York Athletic Club was second.
Bathe of Breslau, defeated McDer
mott of the Chicago Athletic Associa
tion in the breast-swimming races of
100 meters and 400 meters.
The American Olympic swimmers
defeated both the German teams In
the relay Pwlms.
"Ad"' Artist Won Rome Prize.
Peoria (HI.) Journal.
"We're very much pleased with your
drawings for our fashion ds. Mr.
Blank, and we'll pay you $500 a month
to keep it up."
Tm sorry, Mr. Merchant, but I ve got
to paint a picture of 'Morning.' . I'll
have to turn you down."
If you'd been in the office of one or
the biggest men's clothing dealers in the
country recently you'd have heard this
coversatlon, and probably said to your
self. "Well, of all the idiots r
Well, the young man hiked to his little
studio and got busy.
Hsult
He won the "Grand Prise of Rome"
bestowed annually upon the best young
male artist in the United States by the
American Academy of Rome.
He gets a three years' residence in
Villa Aurelia (the high brow art work
shop of the world.)
A large and beautiful studio in which
to work. .
A beautiful home in which to live.
One thousand dollars a year for three
years for personal expenses.
And the best instruction on earth.
The winner of all this glory is a
youngster from Bloomington, 111., named
Eugene Savage. At an early age this
awkward country boy drew pictures
which made the neighbors say, "I'll
swan, ef it don't look Just like him I"
They sent Gene to school but he
nearly got expelled because he insisted
on drawing pictures on the blackboard.
It was pretty generally conceded that
Gene Savage was no good for anything.
But Gene didn't care and when he was
full grown he beat it up to Chicago, to
learn to be an artist.
Now right here is where this story
becomes improbable. Gene did not
starve to death. He had no more than
taken a hall bedroom and paid a week's
board ln advance than he got an order
to do some pictures for a department
store ad.
Gene should have scorned commercial
art, but instead he grabbed at it.
That's the way he got his start. He
studied ln the Chicago Art Institute, and
after awhile found he could make $50
or $60 a week on fashion cuts by work
ing five hours on a Saturday, giving
him all the rest of the week for what
he actually wanted to do. He also
saved some money, and was able to
take a course at the Corcoran Art Gal
lery in Washington, winding up with
two years at the Chicago Academy.
Savage took unto himself a wife a
young woman doctor of Bloomington.
When the annual contest for this year's
Grand Prix opened, he was ready to go
after it He had become one of the
greatest fashion artists, but he threw
his wholej soul into the fight for bigger
So, out of all the aspiring and per
spiring young artists who competed this
year. Gene Savage was selected. He
will go to Rome and take his Uttle
wife with him in the fall.
