During March Coids and chills are prevalent, and unless the system is strong enough to throw them off, serious illness, - often ending in pneumonia and deatin results. The Cause Of colds, chills and attendant dan- gers is found in the blood, poisoned by uric acid, which should be ex- pelled by the kidneys. The Effect Of this kidney-poisoned blood is. far-reaching. Health and strength are impossible while it exists. The system is being continually weaken- ed, leaving it open to the ravages of colds, chills, pneumonia and fevers. The Cure For such a diseased condition is found in Warner’s Safe Cure, which will restore the kidneys to health,and enable them to properly perform their functions. There is no doubt about this.

WEBB Prominent at the Bar and in Offi- cial Life. FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS Mr. William B. Webb, ex-Commissioner of the District of Columbia, and a leading member of the bar, died a few minutes after 6 o’clock last evening at his residence, 1918 F street northwest. The members of the family, Mr. Randall Webb, Mr. John Webb, Miss Charlotte Webb and Mrs. Poere, were at the bedside when the demise occurred. Death was due to en organic disease of the brain and consequent degeneration of the rervous tissues, aggravated by an at- tack of the grip. Mr. Webb did not take to bed until Morday evening last, but after that time sank rapidly, becoming uncon- scious Wednesday, and remaining in that conditicn, with but two slightly lucid in- tervals, until the end came, Since Tuesday last there was no doubt as to the moribund condition of the ex-Commissioner, the fam- ily physician having rotified the household that it was only a question of a few hours when Jife would'tecome extinct. The fvneral will take place Monday after- ncon at 2 o'clock from St. John’s Episcopal Church. Owing to the absence from the city today of Rey. Alexander Mackey- Smith it ts not yet determined who will cendvet the funeral services, and neither have the pallbearers as yet been named. aera: See Sunday’s Post. Weir of Hermiston. The Last Story of Stevenson. ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON. Interment is to be made In Oak Hill cem-. -INDEX PO - ADVERTISEMENTS, etery. Announced im Court. The news of the death of Mr. Webb was received at the city hall today with deep regret by the bar and bench. After his death had been formally announced therein the various courts adjourned out of re- spect to his memory. The announcement of Mr. Webb’s death was first made in Equity Court No.1, by Mr. Henry BH. Davis, president of the District Bar Association. In the death of Mr. Webb, stated Mr. Davis, there had passed away one of the oldest and most highly respected mem- bers of the District bar. At enother time and oc nm the sad news would, he said, be more fully referred to, but he deemed it fitting that the announcement should be made today, that the court might ad- journ out of respect to the memory of one of the oldest and most highly respected officers. Mr. Webb, continued Mr. Davis, had more than attained the Scriptural limit of man’s life, and in that period had attained the highest ideal of the lawyer and man. His services to the community in which he lived were marked and lasting, and his whole life was that of an honorable, reput- able and kindly man. In passing away he had taken with him all that any man could hope to carry with him, an honored name and the respect ani esteem of all who knew him. Mr. Davis then formally moved that the court adourn out of respect to the memory of Mr. Webb, and Judge Cox, in passing the order, stated that he fully appreciated the loss which the court and community had sustained in the death of Mr. Webb, whom he knew well and greatly respected, and remarked that Mr. Davis’ motion was a most appropriate one. He, therefore, or- dered that the court stand adjourned. In Equity Court No. 2, and in Circuit Court No. 2, Mr. R. Ress Perry feelingly announced the death of Mr. Webb, and T™moved an adjournment. In granting the motion, Judges Hagner and McComas re- ferred to the death of Mr. Webb as a sad logs to both the bench and community. A meeting of the District Bar Association will be held in the old Circuit Court room next Monday morning at 10:30, to take ac- tion respecting the Ceath of Mr. Webb. At the District Building. ‘There was general regret expressed among the clerks at the District building today over the death of ex-Commissioner Webb. Many of them had served under him while Commissioner and had a regard for him that was akin to love. The Commissioners this morning passed the following in executive session: The Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia share in the deep sorrow which is feit by this community at the loss sustained by the death of the late Wm. B. Webb, ex- Commissioner of the District of Columbia, who expired at 6 o'clock p.m. on the 13th instant, and sympathize with the family of the deceased in their bereavement. The ex- emplary life of Mr. Webb as a private citi-" zen secured for him the respect and affec- tion of his fellow citizens, and the integrity and talent displayed by him as one of the chief execttive officers of this municipality, and in the discharge of other public trusts, estabiished and maintained for him an emi- nent place in the public confidence and es- teem. As marks of respect for the de- ceased it is ordered that the flag on the municipal bu!lding be kept at half mast un- til aiter the day of his funeral, and the Dis- trict offices be closed at 1 o'clock p.m. on that day. It is further ordered that a copy of this order be furnished the family of the | deceased. Mr. Webb’s Career. In the death of Mr. Webb Washington Tomorrow the Sunday Post will print the first installment of “Weir of Her- miston,"” the last story written by Rob- ert Louis Stevenson, upon which he was ergaged at the time of his death. The renainder of the story will follow on succeeding Sundays. “Weir of Hermis- ten” has been copyrighted in all coun- tries of the world, and the tole right of Pewspaper publication in the United States has been cecured by our agents.

To those who enjoyed his personal friendship, the loss will be keenly felt, for Mr. Webb porsecsed to an unusual degree the quall- Ues that endear one to friends. Mr. Webb was thoroughly identified with the city. He was boro here, passed his entire life in this city, and was actively concerned daring his long and busy career in much that contriputed toward the advancement and prosperity of the place of his birth. He was always ready to give his time and energy for the public good and any appeal based cn the interests of the entire com- munity never failed to meet with a re- sporse from him. At the time of his death he was nearly seventy-one years of age, and up to the last he retained to a remarkable degree the vigor and vitality which was char- acteristic. He was a man of large frame and had a hearty, genial manner in greet- iug his friends and a buoyant manner of viewing life’s aifairs that made him a de- lightful companion and an adviser of much value. Whether as a citizen or as a man Mr. Webb drew to him by the close ties of esteem and affection a large and increasing circle of friends. His father, John F. Webb, who sprang from revolutionary stock, came from the state of Connecti- cut and became a resident here at an early berlod in the history of the city. The maiden name of his mother was Charlotte A. Poor, and her ancestors, like those of Mr. Webb's father, were of good New England stock. Mr. Webb received his carly education in the private schools of this city, and then attended fdr some time the then fa- mous church sehool conducted by Rev. Dr. Austin, an Episcopal clergyman, in Baltimore ccunty, near the city of Balti- mere. Returning, to this city, he entered Columbiar. College, now Columbian Univer- sity, and taking the four years’ course, graduated in 1844. He then studied law, and was admitted to the bar and entered upon his career, which is so largely blend- ed with that of ‘the city. He was active in otganizing the Rar Association of the istrict rnd was one of the first presi- dents. He also took an interest in military matters. Owinghito this latter experience he was enahie@ to render a service during the critical pariod at the breaking out of the civil war. He organized a company of volunteers, and Was chosen its captain, and offered the services of himself and his men to the government. There was, however, no organization of troops at that time to which his company could be assigned, and so his offer was not accepted. He was, however, appointed by President Lincoln as drill instructor at the school for offi- cers, and in this capacity he rendered valuable assistance. A few months later he again nad an opportunity to render im- portant service to the city, when he was chosen the first superintendent of the met- ropohitan police, which was then just or- To the unselfish labor and the executive ability of Mr. Webb is due much of the perfection of details of the police system cf the city. The system was sub- jected to perhaps the most severe ordeal in its history when under his command, as the city was at that time the center of war activities and the camping ground for thousands of soldiers. Under these ad- verse circumstances he preserved the peace and order of the community and achieved a record which was remarkable. His serv- ices were appreciated by his fellow citi- zens, and he wes publicly thanked by the authorities. In 1863 Mr. Webb resigned the office of superintendent of police, and for twenty- two years pursued the practice of his pro- fession and performed the duties of a pri- vate citizen. He represented the legal in- terests of several important corporations, ard achieved, in his chosen profession, de- served success. In 1885 he was agair called to the public service, when he was appointed by Presi- dent Cleveland es the republican member of the board of Commissioners of this Dis- trict. He gave special attention as Com- missioner to the public schools, and it was during his administration that the system of manual instruction became a part of the public school system. Other branches of the local government were greatly benefit- ed by the wise attention paid to them by Mr. Webb. As 2 Member of the Bar. Both in point of service and age Mr. Webb was one of the oldest members of the District bar, having been admitted to practice in 1847. As was remarked of him today by a well-known associate, Mr. Webb was one of the very few remaining attorneys who practiced before the old Dis- trict Circuit Court. While he was never regarded as a great advocate he was very highly regarded as a sound, safe counsellor, being a iawyer of fine attainments and varied and extensive learning. His most prominent characteristic, it is said of him, was his conservatism, and that, added to his unquestioned integrity, made him one of the most highly esteemed eng greatly respected members of the local ar. He was in his time the attorney for a number of important corporations, being at the time of his. death the attorney for the Washington Gas Light Company, and dur- ing his career at the bar appeared in many of the great cases of his time. During the last several years, however, Mr. Webb en- gaged actively..in very few cases, his la- bors falling upon his sons, Henry Randall and John Sidney. Webb. His office practice continued large ‘up to the time of his death, however. Mr. Webb will be particularly well re- membered as a lawyer through his digest of the laws of the old corporation of the city of Washington. That work was prepared in 1868, having Seen authorized by the com- mon council of the city. It is regarded asa standard work, as an authority on matters relating to or connected with the laws of the corporation of *Wasifingtén, ands an un- usually valuable work. It 1s now out of print and coplés of it are, therefore, doubly prized. The Washington National Building Association.
