A NEWS reporter went In search of the widower and found J. C. Dirmeyer. ft saloon keeper in oast Dallas, who said Ida Brevard was his wife.

He showed the reporter a telegram received yesterday from Mrs. Ingalls, 1S07 Broadway. New York, saying In substance: "Ida died deuly yesterday." Airs.

Webster's Qrave. Recently the writer of this paragraph visited Msrshfleld expressly to BO to the grave of Webster and pay the respects to his political genius which Is a rightful tribute to memory. It Is tho central object in the undent Marshfleld burying groud, a lonely knoll mile from the sea, which is plainly visible and impressive from its desolation and a certai melancholy grandeur that surrounds it.

Webster, when living, was like a star that dwelt apart In its own light, and her 3 his body rests in a characteristic separation from companionship with that of others. With few tionn, the ouly monuments are the slato headstones ot tha nrst settlers of Marsh-. field. The Webster family are all gathered within this inolosnre-- father, mother, sons, daughters, grandchildren. Tha whole etory Is told at a glance.

It Is the same here as It Is at Montlcello, the burial place of Jefferx eon. A great statesman has done his work and is gathered to bis fathers in the simplicity and severity which characterizes our republican life. Daniel Webster la the only name written on tho simple headtttouo that marks the tomb of the man who ia tho first lit the ranks of our great statesmen, aud all the surroundings of the place are In keeping with the character of Webxter, and indicate to one who is familiar with his mind und thought why he chose the oand dunes of Marflhllald for uls hume and his ulchro.

It fs away from the main road, nnd with tho roar of ths ourf In a slorm joining in the rush of the wind over tbo sand hills AS A roqnltim, and tho whole landscape 1 m- pressing you with a soreo of lu dreary, solemn nnd severe character.

It Is just the spot which a nmn like Webster might hnva been a.Tpccteu to choose for his burial pUcA, and Its IftolatloD. aad comparative neglect aro typicfcl to tho extout to which Webster has pnnnfid from tho thought of his couns aB an active eletnant ID American life.
