MAJOR W KEY HOWARD.
A Brave Soldier, a Kind Hearted aud
Liberal Gentleman
The Free Lance, of Fredericksburg,
Va, thus speaks of Major \V. Key
Howard, who died in this city last Fri
day :
“Major \V. Key Howard, of this city,
died at the home of his eon, W. Key
Howard, Jr, in Griffin, Ga , Friday i
morning at 6 :30 o'clock, where be bad
gone to spend the winter for the res
toration of bis health.
The deceased was born in Baltimore
county, Md , 70 years ago, and was the
•on of Dr. William Howard, of Balti
more, and Rebecca Ann Key, grand
sou of Col John .Edger Howard, a
revolutionary war hero of Maryland,
and grard nephew of Francis Scott
Key, also of Maryland, author of the
“Star Spangled Banner." In 18G1 be
left his home in Baltimore anl came
south with Gen. Bradley T. Johnson
and entered the confederate army, in
which be did valiant service. He was
a lieutenant in the First Maryland
Infantry, and afterwards a member of
the Powhatan troop of cavalry, in
which he served until the surrender at
Appomattox. He then returned to
Baltimore and in 1860 bought “Al
toona," near this city, and made it bis
borne. A few years later he sold it
and purchased “Kenmore,” the bit*
toric residence, in this city, of Bettie
Lewis, sister of Gen. George Washing
ton, and has since resided here.
Mr. Howard’s first wife was Alias
Agnes Schley, daughter of Judge
Schley, of Baltimore, and near relative
of Admiral Schley, who lived a year
after her marriage. He afterwards
married Miss Clara Randolph, of Rich
mond, who survives him with three
children, Mr. W. Key Howard, Jr, of
Griffin, Ga ; Mr. A. Randolph Howard,
of the Banking House of Conway,
Gordon <k Garnett, of tins city, aud
Mr. Clarence R Howard, of Alexan
dria, all of whom were with him at the
time of his dealb, He was one of the
leading members and a vestrymen of
Trinity Episcopal church, and was a
well-known, popular, kind hearted and
liberal gentleman.
The remains will be taken to Rich
mond and the interment made today
in the Randolph lot in Hollywood
Cemetery.
Rooted the Grave.
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
“I was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en, tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides, no appetite—giadual
ly growing weaker day by day. Three
physicans had given me up. Fortu
nately, a friend advised trying 'Elec
tric Bitters and to my great joy and
surprise, the first bottle made a decid
ed improvement. I continued their
use for three weeks, aud am now a
well man. I know they saved my life,
and robbed the grave of another vic
tim,” No one should fail to try them.

The Growth of Trusts
There were nme who were disposed
to laugh at Ru hard Croker when he
said, awhile buck, thal the Democratii
party should make local eels-govern
tnent and the abolition of trusts tlie
man planks in their next nations
platform Hut it 'ool: -ns if the tin e
Were no f o distant when the people
w >ti dberi i!y 'or a bitter war on
trust®
The numb •.< :ri-t is it creii-in g
rapidly Almost < very day the at
nouncemetil o’ one or more of them it
made through the newspaper® At
the nite at which they are being
formed about every business in the
country will be in a trust of some
kind within a year or two. Every
trust, of course, says its purpose is to
benefit the consumer—that it will be
ab'e to do business at Ices cost and
that the public will the get benefit of
the reduced cost of production and
business management. No doubt some
of the trusts have reduced the cost of
their products, and therefore the pub
lie have been benefitted, but the most
of them have no intention of permit
, ting the public to have a share of
t'ueir profits. Their purpose is to
' squeeze out of the public every cent
' they can. They will put their prices
just as high as they can without in
viting home or iu.-sign competition.
Il is evident that tbe effort to en
force the anti-trust law has been
abandoned, practically. The trusts
have become stronger than the law.
Some other means will have to be
adopted to keep prices within reasona
ble limits. 8 imetime ago we suggests
ed that a commission ought to be
appointed in each state to piss upon
the prices of the products of trusts.
If the state untertook to pass upon
price o , prebierns would present them
selves which would be difficult of
solution, but it is probable that they
would be solved. The railroads are
held in hand pretty well by the na
tional and state commissions, and if
the traffic rates of railroads can be
controlled it is probable prices of the
products of trusts could bi kept some
where near where they ought to be.—

1 strongly, as 1 owe my baby’s life to it. She had Cholera Infantum £

2 Carminative. The fever left her when I had given her but two bottles, 1
