Hume died at 5 o'clock yesterday morning at his place of business on Market Spacty having been stricken with apoplexy even- ing. He was engaged Satuniay evening in his pri vate office on Second floor of the building. About 6 o'clock a heavy fall was heard, and when it was investigated Mr. Hume was found lying on the floor, having been stricken with apoplexy. When he fell he ‘was coming down the stalrway from the third floor, and he was found at the bot- tom of the steps. How far he fell isnot known. His family physician, Dr. Mackall, and Drs. Murphy and McBlair were at once called, and the members of his family were summoned.’ Mr. Hume It though ineensible, di the night, and breath his last Just before the dawn of thé Sabbath day. ‘The body was then removed to his family residence, No. $319 P street. Arrangements have been made for holding the funeral at 2 o'clock to-morrow ternoon from the residence in West Washington. The interment will take place in Oak Hill ceme- tery. Mr. Hume's sudden death caused deep shock in this community, of which he was an honored and valuable member. Only Saturday he appeared, as usual, on the street, seemingly in the prime of vigorous manhood—having for every one a kindly reeting. Mr. Hume was born in Culpeper Co., ey Oe 1838, and would have completed his 43d’year had death spared him another day. For many years his father, Who died long ago, held a prominent position in the Treasury department in this city. When the deceased was a mere chi his family removed to Bladensburg, Md. Young Thomas left his home, when he was about 15 years of age, to seek his fortune. Coming to Washington he obtained employment as a clerk in the grocery store of Mr. Edward Hall, then located on Penn- sylvania avenue, between 7th and 8th streets. With such fidelity ‘and industry did he devote himself to the business of his employer that he was rapidly promoted and within afew ‘Fears became associatey with Mr. Hall as a partner. Upon the death of Mr. Hall, twelve years ago, Mr. Hume assumed the control of the business, which Brospered greatly under his management. In 1868 Mr. Hume erected the fine building on Market Space, between 8th and 9th streets, where his business establishment. has since been locat and where he met his death. Messrs. James K. Cleary and H. F. Davis became his partners about the time of the erection. of the building. Recently Mr. Davis retired, and Mr. Frank Hume, a brother of the deceased, took his place in the firm. On Saturday morn! a notice of the dissolution of the partnership, and the retirement of the deceased from the firm ‘was published. It was while engaged In arranging papers and attending to other business respecting 13 retirement, that he was attacked by apoplexy in his private’ office. Mr. Hume in 1864 married the only daughter of Mr. Adolph Pickrell, an old and wealthy citizen of Georgetown. His wife and 8'x children survive him, as well as his mother, a venerable lady who resides with her son Edmund at No. 216 C street. The deceased was a member for many years of Ascension P.E. church, and by his death a vacancy is made in the vestry of the parish. Mr. Hume will be remembered most pleas- antly by his soctal acquaintances as the master of Tunlaw farm. ‘This splendid place, a few miles northwest of Georgetown, was noted alike for its fine stock and the generous hospitality of its owner, who seemed never so happy as when act- ing thé part of the host. ‘Tunlaw became years ago famots for its entertainments. Mr. Hume was associated with nearly every movement having for its object the advancement of the interest of the District, or the iinprovement of the city, and was a contributor to numerous charitable enterprises. He served as_a member of the fire board, as originally constituted, and after the reorganizition, and a few weeks ago, upon the death of Mr. W. B.’Reed, resumed his old piace in the boanl. | He took a prominent place tn the movement which resulted in the organization of the National Fair Association. For many years he ‘a director of the Second National Bank, and the time of his death held a commfsston from the President of the United States, to repre- sent the District in the proposed World’s Fair tobe held in New York. He was a member of B. B. French Lodge, F. A. A. M., Washington R. A. Chapter, and Washington’ Commandery No. 1. He Was a prominent member of the Potomac Boat Club, which organization has ordered its flags to be placed at half mast, and was an honor- ary member of the-Washington Light Infantry Corps, and other bodies. No one’s death could be more ‘genulnely and generally regretted. ‘The funeral will be attended by a Masonic dispiay, which will give some tokei in which the deceased was held. Fire Commisstoners to-day adopted appropriate resolutions respecting the death of Mr. Hume, and tendered to the family, through Chief Engineer | Cronin, an escort for the remains, to consist of a detail of men, from each of the several companies In the departinent. ‘The services, which will be tn charge of the Masonic bodies, will begin exactly at two o’clock, and the funeral will leave the house at three. Atacalled meeting of the vestry of Ascension Parish, on Sunday morning, October 23d, the asso- clate réctor, Rey. John H. Elliott, announced the death of Mr. Thomas L. Hume, whereupon the fol- lowing resolutions were unantinously adopted Resolved, ‘That we have heard with sincere grief of the death Gf our late associate and esteemed fellow-citi- zen, Thomas L. Hume. ‘Resived, ‘That in his death we realize the loss to his family of a devoted and beloved member, to ourselves of an earnest and valued co-laborer, to this parish of zealous and generous supporter and to the community Of s worthy, upright and honored man, Kesolred, That aa a mark of respect to his memory the members and ‘ex-members of the vestry aud the wardens of the parish attend his funeral in a body.

MEN OF SHORT STATURE AND LARGE PRO- PORTIONS LABOR UNDER THE DELUSION THAT THEY CANNOT BE FITTED READY-MADE. THIS Is A MISTAKE. LAST WEEK WE HAD AMONG THE HUNDREDS OF VISITORS THE EMINENT COMEDIAN, BISHOP. MOST EVERYBODY WILL REMEMBER HIS ROTUND FORM. HE WANTED AN OVERCOAT, AND SAID: ‘I WAS TOLD YOU COULD FIT ANY SHAPED MAN. CAN YOU FIT ME!” THE VERY FIRST OVERCOAT THAT WAS PLACED ON HIS BACK FITTED HIM. TO SAY HE WAS DELIGHTED WOULD BUT FAINTLY EX- PRESS HIS FEELINGS. HE THEN TRIED ON A SUIT, WITHOUT ANY DESIRE TO PURCHASE, MERELY WISHING TO SEE IF HE COULD BE FITTED. IN PAYING US FOR THE OVERCOAT, HE SAID: ‘tI WILL KEEP A MEMORANDUM OF ‘THE SIZES AND SEND YOU MY ORDERS FROM ANY PART OF THE COUNTRY I MAY BE IN. I NEVER WAS FITTED READY-MADE BEFORE.” WE RELATE THIS TO SHOW TO STOUT OR FAT MEN THAT THEY SHOULD GIVE US A CHANCE TO SHOW THEM OUR STOCK, }ROM WHICH WE GUARANTEE TO FIT NINETY-NINE PER CENT OF ALL WHO MAY CALL UPON Us, A.
