Miss Media McNeal, assistant ‘superin- tendent of the Augusta, Ga., hospital, died early Saturday morning from the effects of opium poison taken with suicidal intent. She was formerly with the Emergency Hos- pital here. She is said to have suffered dis- appointment in love. The discovery of her rash act was made about 1 o'clock and every effort made to resuscitate her, with- out avail. She had been out to attend a pa- tient, returned to her room, wrote a letter and took the dose. In a farewell letter to a lady Miss Mc- Neal states that she had no living relative; that she had no one to whom she could go in her trouble, never having known her parents, and that her only alternative was death. The dead woman was engaged at the Emergency Hospital here from January to Jun of last year. She was known at the hospital as a tireless worker, and gave gen- eral satisfaction during her stay in this city, The nurses here found that she was exceedingly downcast at times and lament- ed the fact that her parents and friends were all dead. She seldom left the hospital while here, and spent ier time off duty in reading. Sees MR. ELDRIDGE’S DENIAL. Pastor of Waugh Church Reads State- ment From the Pulpit. ~ Rev. E. Olin Eldridge, pastor of Waugh M. E. Church, who is named as corespond- ent in the divorce suit filed on Friday by George T. Robertson, at the services at the church yesterday morning read the following statement to his congregation: “As the congregation already knows, 1 occupy today a position most trying to my faith and courage. Conscious of my Innocence I have asked of the church as early an investigation as may with pro- priety be had, and confidently anticipate the formal: vindication of my character, so unjustly aspersed. I look to Almighty God for His aid and am comforted in the assurance of your sympathy.” Rev. J. E. Gilbert, D.D., preached the sermon, and in the evening Rev. A. H. Zimmerman officiated. Mr. Eldridge stood behind the chancel rail after the services and received a cordial grasp of the hand from many members of his congregation, who extended their sympathy ard ex pressed their belief in his early vindica- tion. tee tg a Lecture on George Washington. The Society of the Scns of the American Revolution has arrayged with Miss Eliza- beth Bryant Johnstoii, the historian gener- al of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, to give for its benefit January 28, at the Armory of the National Rifles, an illustrated iecture on George Washington and his portraits. Miss Johnston has for many years made @ study of this subject and is the author of an important work en the portraits of Washington. Her lecture {s an outline of the character and career of Wash- ington, and each portrait accentu- ates an event tn his life. Examples from every artist to whom he gave sittings will be presented, as well as family portraits, including those of personal friends ‘of Wash- ington, various historical paintings and por- traits of the artists. The event, marking as it does a new de- parture in the entertainments hitherto given by this patriotic society, promises to be one of unusual interest, and it ts ex- pected that all those who are interested in the patriotic movements of these societies will attend on that occasion. © eae Transfers of Real Enstate.
