A Well-Known and Much Respected OMcial of the Government. ‘William Holcomb Webster, chief examiner of the clvil service commission, died sud- denly of heart disease at his home, 1615 Rigas place, yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock. After spending the day at his of- fice in the civil service building, he left at 4 o'clock for Lome, riding bis bicycle as usual. For several years Maj. Webster had been a sufferer from heart disease. It is supposed the exertion of riding over the wet and slippery pavements was too much for his strength. He did not complain: of fatigue, however, but sat down as if to rest. Mrs. Webster was not at home, and Miss Cot- trell, the major’s niece, was the only per- son in the house. Not long after he came in he arose, pressed his hands to his head, stag- gered across the floor to his bed, where he fell to his knees and died instantly. Miss Cottrell called Dr. Krogstad and several poe but it was found that life had Mr. Webster was born at Burlington, Conn., January 24, 1839. He graduated from Trinity College in 1861, and at once enlisted as second Ijeutenant of compary I of the fifth Connecticut volurteers, a regiment raised and equipped by Col. Sam Colt and commanded by Col. O. 8. Ferry, afterward United States Senator. In 1863, having been discharged for disabilities,he returned to Connecticut and became provost mar- shal. After the war he served in Louisiana during the reconstruction period. In 186) he was appointed chief of the old war and navy division of the pension bureau, where he remained until, in 1886, President Cieve- land appointed him chief examiner of the civil service commission, to succeed Mr. Lyman, who had been made a member of the civil service commission. Prior to that appointment Mr. Webster had served for several years on the de- partment board of examiners, and his ac- tvity and interest in the work had done much to help inaugurate successfully the civil service system in the federal depart- ments. He was of studious habits and was most intelligent ard capable official, com- manding the esicem of his official superiors. While engaged in the pension office he took @ course in the Columbia Law School, grad- uating in 1871, He was most affable and sympathetic in his relations with others, and had as many friends as any man in public life. As a resideut of Washington ie took much interest in local affairs. His death will be sincerely deplored by all who Were associated with him in either official Don’t Stop ‘Tobacco Suddenly.

How Victoria Has Retained Her Won- derfal Health and Strength. “Have you ever heard of Queen Victoria's sccret?” It was a well-known New York physician who recently asked the following question, in the course of a conversation at his club. None of the com- Peny had ever heard about it, and they pressed him for an explanation. He then related the fol- lowing remarkable story: “It is a well-known fact,” ho said, “that the of Great Britain ts one of the most wonder- ful old iedies in existence. Although she is nearly 80 years of age, she is, today, as bright and active as many a woman o1'40. And why do you sup- Pose it is? I will te: you, for I obtained the in- formation from reliable sources. It because ber majesty never allows a day to by. without taking a Hittle pure malt wiiskey. She takes this strengthening stimulant by the advice of her phy- sicians, among whom are some of the greatest medical men in the world. That is why the qucen 4s so fall of life and energy in spite of her ad- vanced years.” : ‘This is an interesting story anf It clearly proves correct in telling us that scientific men are ing us that Rothing compares with a pure malt stimulant for pallding up health. | Untortunatelseygh s stimulant is by no means common or reap the benefit of In fact, there is only cue pure medi istence which is entirely free from injurious adul- teration. It is ki whiskey, a testified to the wi taking it. Nothing has ever equaled it for stirfing up hd blood, promoting digestion and invigorating the body.’ For this reason, no inferior imitations sbould be accepted from grocers or druggists who attempt to substitute something which they claim is “just as good’” as Dufty’s. icinal whiskey in ex- or private life.

He was deeply interested in ce- menting the friendship between the two opposing elements of the war and was ever active in doing what was possible to pro- mote friesdly relations. He was much liked by the members of the Confederate Veterans’ Association of this city, and was always a welcome and an honored guest at their public entertainments. He leaves a widow and one daughter, Mrs. Georgia Mowry of Charleston, S. C. The funeral will take place Thursday af- ternoon at 2 o'clock from Epiphany Church, Dr. McKim conducting the services. Maj. Webster was a vestryman of this church and had been long identified with it. Kit Carson Pert, G. A. R.. of which Maj. Web- ster was a member, will attend the funeral in a body, as will also the Military Legion of Honor. The burial will be at Arlington. Relatives in Connecticut and Illinois were heard from this morning, and are on the way to Washington to attend the funeral. Maj.

A meeting of the civil service commissioners and the employes of the commission will be held tomorrow after- noon, after the return. of Commissioner Procter, who is on the way home from Bos- ton, and supposed to be in New York to- day.

Plumber Pond Tak Custody by the Marsh: Officers. Several weeks ago Judge Hagner ordered that Hollister G. Pond, who is being sued for divorce by Rose L. Pond, pay his wife a certain amount of alimony or stand com- mitted to jail for contempt of court. Pond’ not only refused to pay up, but until yes- terday afternoon successfully baffied the efforts of Marshal Wilson and his deputies to land him in jail. Pond is a plumber, en- gaged in business at 414 6th street, and his Place has been constantly watched by the ollicers. Yesterday afternoon, shortly be- fore 4 o'clock, Bailiffs Cusick and Spring- man received information that-their man was there, and while Cusick entered the front door of the shop Springman watched in the rear. Cusick caught the man in the back yard, after forcing a door in the shop. When placed under arrest, Pond denied his identity. The officers, while not personaliy acquainted with him, were certain that the man was Pond, and escorted him to the marshal's office, and later he was sent to jail. It is said that Pond has been endeay- oring to effect a compromise with his wife, anc it is understood that he will now purge himseif of contempt by settling with her. THE COURTS.
