his mother Elizabeth Browne. of
Irish parentage.
Facing the problem of obtaining
an education during the trying days
cf ' reconstruction in the south, and
following the death of his father at
Mobile, Ai3., his mother instilled in
to his mind and heart those stem
precepts cf nfprality by which he has
ever been governed. Judge Pritchard.
yet in his teens, walked 35 mil?s
across the mountains of ea-t Tei.n
essee and western North Carolina to
Bakersville, where he arrived with
10 . cents and nothing more save the
clothes he were. Eking out his sub
sistence through toil in th? print shop
by day, a desire to achieve fame
prompted him by night to search
such text hooks as were obtainable.
Entered Politics in 1885.
It was then that he received the
attention of statesmen m North
Carolina and identifying himself
with the Republican party, began a
career, the prominence and limit 2-:
tions of which were only stopped by
his calling: to a leward for services
rendered humanity.
Entering politics he was elected to

many died, at 6 o'clock this morning
By a Strang coincidence the end
came just one year after she suf
fered her first serious attack of
heart failure.
Emperor William and Prince Adel-'
bere were at the bedside when the
former empress died.
The death came as a shock to the
dwellers in Docrn castle, as last week
the patient's condition seemed less
serious. Last night she was semi
conscious and stimulants were ad
ministered to relieve her pain.
As the day broke, breathing came
still more difficult for the failing
patient and her pulse grew weaker.
It was then evident that th eend was
near and Dr. Haster werned form
er Emperor William that his con
sort had not long to live.
The ex-empresa became uncon
scious and her breathing fainter until
b o clock when the end came.
The ex-emperor stood at the bedside
with bent head as death came to his
consort and remained in the room
for some time.
