Sad End of Mrs. Horton’s Pleasure Drive to Soldiers’ Home. Mrs. Sarah Horton, sixty years old, and Mrs. Addie Haight, of San Diego, Cal., who were in this city visiting friends, employed a hansom yesterday morning to take them to Soldiers’ home. They spent a pleasant day there ing through the buildings and driving through the grounds. About 3:30 o'clock they started on the return trip to No. 458 New Jersey ave- nue, where they had been staying, and the driver, John Milrick, knowing they were strangers, took a roundabout way to give them an opportunity to see the elegant residences at Mount Pleasant, Célumbia Heights, and other places, The weather was fine and the ladies were delighted with their trip. To make it more interesting for them the driver pointed out the various places of interest as they came in sight of them. When the top of the hill was reached and the horse's head was turned to- ward the city the driver was getting ready to point out to his pas- sengers the Logan mansion, when the gear gave way and frightened the horse. The animal started down the hill ona run and the driver was unable to control it. He remained on his seat, however, and did the best he could, but when the bottom of the hill was reached the vehicle struck against a tree-box and over- turned, Mrs. Horton was thrown violent; to the ground, and then the cab struck her wit! full force. Mrs. Haight was also thrown from the Vehicle, but fortunately it did not strike her. The ladies were taken to the residence of Mrs. Hayes. near where the accident occurred. Dr. Ford Thompson and another physician were called. Mrs, Horton died in about thirty minutes after the accident. Several of her ribs were broken and her head was also badly in- jared. Mrs. Haight, who the doctors did not think was dangerousiy injured, was removed to the house on New Jersey avenue where she has been staying, and the body of Mrs. Horton was also taken there. The driver of the vehicle did not escape with- out injury. He received several bruises about the head: "He was taken to the eighth precinct station, butas the runaway was purely an acci- dent he was not held. The coroner was notified of the facts, and he gave a certificate of acci- dental death.

The prop- erty was purchased last fall for these churches, the price paid being 11.000, The purchase was made because the house then occupied as a home for the aged women of the Baptist faith in the District was entirely too small, A few days ago a force of carpenters were put to work making necessary alterations and repairs to the N street building. The work has so far advanced that it is expected that some time next the home will be ready for occu- paney, There will be accommodations for about twenty-five inmates.

The proceeds are to be ones on the parsonage debt previously reduced to $228, Nearly enough has ha sub- scribed to liquidate this debt, and the society is now planning a new church building suited to the needs of the village. The present one, which has served many years, is quite out- grown,and the society,now more prosperous and financially able than ever before, feels that the time has about come to tear down and build larger.

L Costs Liss On the question of real economy Hood's Sarsaparills is so far ahead of other preparations as to place them entirely out of the race as competitors. Here are facts in regard to this popular medicine, easily susceptible of conclusive proof: ‘Hood's Sarsaparilla Costs the Manufacturer More any other competing preparation. because it is more highly concentrated and contains more real medicinal value, 2. It Costs the Jobber More, as aconsequence of the fact just stated, 3. It Costs the Retail Druggist more, for the same Teason—as can easily be learned by inquiry. Hence the desire of some retailers to sell their own preparations, which cost them less, and for which they get the same price, thus making more mone: 4. It Costs the Consumer LESS than ang other med- icine, because of its greater concentrated strength, and the quantity in each bottle, and because it is the only preparation of which can be truly said, “100 Doses One Dollar.” ‘That the people appreciate this is shown by the fact that Hood’s Sarsaparilla has The Largest Sale of any sarsaparilla or blood purifier. It possesses peculiar werit and effects wonderful cures, A POINT FOR you, ‘When you buy your spring medicine you want the Dest. Ask for Hood's Sarsaparilla, and insist upon having it.
