Beautifully gowned, as she was. and surrounded by flowers, she made an entrancing picture. She reads with clearness in enunciation and intelligence in interpretation. Especially good was her work in the intense pas-; sages. And the audience thoroughly approved of everything she did. She was repeatedly encored and was forced to give several additional numbers. The vivid selection by Bulwer-Lytton and the poem of Riley were perhaps the best liked by the hearers. Miss Browning is to be congratulated on both her work and her choice of assistants.

SISTEK DEAD AND KUUED KETTKNS Brother Keceives a Letter From (iirl Whose Funeral He Thought He Attended. i An Asheville, X. C., dispatch says: It is a rather weird story that comes from the western part of North Caro- j lina, brought by one of the leading j business men of Andrews, Cherokee county, in which a brother and sis- j + A nrou-o thfV thOU2fh. ! tvi UI AUUi V/ no MU* ?vv>7 ~ v w the body of their sister and mournec j her death, but later found that their j sister was alive. William Oliver, who belongs to the firm of Andrews Supply company,' lived in Andrews with his sisters, i | Annie and Delia. The story goes that Annie Oliver left Andrews about six months ago and came to Asheville ' and stayed here for several weeks. After she left Ashe villa it seems that her brother and sister lost track of 1 her. I i About two weeks ago a strange woj man committed suicide in the redlight ; district of Charlotte. There was a ! traveling salesmen in Charlotte at the time who knew William Oliver j ;and also knew that his sister had left ' Andrews. He went to look at the suicide and was shown a letter which j was found on the suicide or with her i 1 effects. This letter was addressed to J i ? Annie Oliver. Thereupon the sales-| man telegraphed to William Oliver j that he was convinced that the suicide 1 j was his sister. I ( The ibrother immediately telegraphed to a firm of undertakers, instructing them to embalm the body and ship it to Franklin, where the family "* 1 "NVtAm.. formerly uvea ana wuere uuci members are buried. i He was notified of the time the f body was shipped and when it might arrive at Franklin, and he and his sisIter Delia made the trip to Franklin to attend to the last rites. Another brother came from Atlanta and there 1 were numerous relatives and friends I living in Franklin who were present - 1?5-- ? ~ qtvqv with pnnro : 1 lie UUU V \> as pui/ c* ' ..*v- ?x-x priate ceremonies, bunches of flowers ! were laid on the grave. But the cas. | ket was not opened on account of the i family's aversion to look on the faces of/their dead. Besides, it is said, that Mr. Oliver had received a letter i from the undertaking firm suggesting that the casket had better not be : opened, as the face of the corpse was 1 disfigured about the mouth, caused i by the corrosive action of the poison I which had been taken. William and Delia Oliver then retumori to Andrews and the other ! brother to Atlanta, apparently well satisfied that they had attended the ! burial of their sister. But a few days ago the brother at Andrews received | a letter from Columbia. He was amazed to see that it was in the handwriting of his sister who he believed dead and that she had signed it. She gave the information that she was in a Columbia hospital and had been for some time; that she had undergone an operation for appendicitis. This ! evidence that his sister was alive seemed conclusive, but Mr. Oliver was not taking any chances. He boarded j the train and went to Columbia, and ! sure enough, he found his sister alive, i He has no idea whose body it was : he buried nor whose death he mourn! ed over. He is not quite sure that a | "job was not put up" on him. He | certainly went to a great deal of exi pense and trouble besides the mental ! anguish that he suffered. , THE BEST PROOF.
