Mr.. FILLMORE took the oath of Office
as President of the United States, and
discharged the duties of Chief Magis
trate for the remaining two years and
eight months of the term. He was a
candidate for the Presidential nomin-
alton before the Whig National Con-
vention held at Baltimore in June,
1852, but after several ballotings, the
choice, as is well Known, fell upon Gen.
WINFIELD SCOTT, who had the sup
port of the more advanced Anti-Slav-
cry wingsof the party. The dissolu-
tion of the Whig party followed not
long after its disastrous campaign of
that year. Mr.. FILLMORE was the
candidate ofthe "American" party at
the next Presidential election, in 1856,
receiving only the electoral vote of the
State of Maryland.
While Mr.. FILLMORE disappointed
many of his best friends by his politi-
cal action, and particularly by CIV
ing his official influence in favor of the
S0-called Compromise measures of 1850,
in opposition to the policy of Presi
dent TAYLOR, and by his course in ap-
proving and enforcing the Fugitive
Slave Law, all concede that he was
man ofintegrity and executive ability,
and his Southern friends were wont to
call him "the model President" In
seeking to avoid 1.-The irrepressible con-
fiict," and in expecting that rose-water
would suffice where, as eX-
perience has proved, only heroic treat
ment could avail, his characteristic
shows to better advantage
than his practical Judgment. Yet he
had warm and devoted friends in those
days, many of whom were subsequent
ly among the active organizers were
of the Republican party.
In private life, Mr.. FILLMORE leaves
a reputation without stain or reproach.
He was an upright and estimable man
IN all the walks of life, and his memory
will be respected throughout the ma
.iOn.-Cin. Times.

NIillard Fillmore.

Ex-President FILLMORE, who re-
sentIy suffered a paralytic stroke, died
last night at Buffalo, his home for near
ly half a century. Until this attack,
he had enjoyed general good health
though well advanced in years, and he
retained his mental faculties to the
last, consciously and peacefully pass
ing away from earth.
Mr.. FILLMORE was born in Cayuga
County, New York, Oh the 7th of Jau-
uary, 1900. His father, who was a
farmer, subsequently removed to
Erie County, and the son, with few
advantages OF education beyond what
the common school then afforded,
learned in youth the trade Of Il fuller
and wooI-carder. His leisure hours,
while engaged in this employment,
were devoted ~ study, and developing
taste for the profession of law, he ere
long, at the age of nineteen, entered
the Office OF Judge WooD, of Cayuga
County, as student, supporting him.
self tor years by teaching school. In
1924 he began the practice of law at
Aurora, in Erie County, settling in 1929
at Buffalo, where he had a prosperous
professional career. In 1926 he married
Miss. ABIGAIL POWERS, who survived
but short time after the close of his
public life. OF their two children, well
remembered by those who visited the
While House during@Mr. FILLMoRE's
Presidency, the daughter, ABBY, mar
ried soon after that period, and died a
few years later. His son, MILLARD p.
FILLMORE, then his Private Secretary,
entered on the practice of law at Buff
ralo, where, we believe, he still resides.
The Ex-President subsequently mar
ried a lady of Albany, who survives
him.
The leading events of Mr.. FILL
MoRE's public life are so well known
that they need be only briefly indicated
here. He was always Il Wing in poll
tics, until the dissolution of that party,
and in later years was SO conservative
as to fall behind the advancing senti-
ment which found organization in the
Republican party. AS President, he
had leaned almost as strongly to the
| Southern side as his successors, Mr..
| PIERCE and Mr.. BUCHANAN, though
! in earlier life MS views had been deci-
| dedly Anti-Siavery. He began his
public services as a member of the
General Assembly, to which he was
elected in 1929. He made successful
canvass as the Anti. Jackson candidate
for Representative in Congress in 1892,
and after an interval of one term he
was again elected to that office in 1886,
1888 and 1910, taking high position as
an able and hard-working member.
In 1917 he was elected Comptroller OF
the State of New York, and il the year
following received the Whig nomina-
ton for the Vice-Presidency-having
a small majority over Mr.. ABBOTT
LAWRENCE, of Massachusetts-on the
ticket headed by General ZACHARY
TAYLOR. He resigned the Comptrol-
lership in March, 1919, to take the
Office of Vice President. On the death
of President TAYLOR, in July, 1850,

resulted from the rupture of a bloot
vessel at the heart. After Mr.. Sum
ner had paroxysms his body remained
cold and clammy, and his pulse very
feeble, breathing slowly but with sons
rafting in the chest. Soon after death
the body of the late Senator showed
signs OF discoloration, and it became
evident that decomposition had set in,
The embalming of the body was COM
menced tonight, and upon the success
OF this process depends somewhat the

embaiming be successful, the BODY will
be detained here until the arrival of a

About the last words of the deceased
Senator were expressed to Judge Z, r..

was uttered about 10 minutes before
his death; just after it escaped his lips a
paroxysm seized him, in which he ap-
peared TO suffer severely and he passed
away few minutes after. His strength
seemed to increase from ten O'Clock

For the first six months of 1873 the

for the second six months will show a

These figures show that the increase
in the population of Ohio, exclusive O
immigration, is progressing very slow
ly. It is not fashionable now to in.
crease and multiply.
Divorce is another feature of the So
cial system that is not encouraging.
The total number of marriages in 1873
was 6,1G0. Equal to ten per cent OF
this number tried to get divorced du-
ring the year. On the 1st of July, 1872,
there were 935 cases pending. Within
the year ending July 1, 1873, 1,649 more
suits were brought, and during the
ear l, 124 divorces were actually gran
| ted. Divorce has been made pretty
easy in Ohio. OF the total number
granted, 500 were for absence and ne
glect, and 265 for adultery. The latter
used to be the only ground upon which
II divorce could be obtained, but now
;hree-fourths of the eases are-for other
causes.
OF the total number of divorces grant
ed, 796 were on application Of the wife,
and 32S or application Of the husband.
The ratio of total number of divorces
to marriages in 1878 is to 20. The ra-
tio OF divorces for each specific cause
to total number Of marriages is as fol-
lows: Adultery of husband, 1 tS 30; do.
of wife, TO 100; absence and neglect Of
husband, to "a; do. of wife, to III;
cruelty Of husband, to 1853; do. of wife,

band, 1 to-, ,410; do. of wife, 1 to 4,4l0;

Sleeves are most important feature

bands lengtirwise upon. the corner.
Extra sleeves in black or white net, the
puffings divided with bands of silk or
velvet or jet embroidery, are now made
to all the dresses ofeerein0ny of FASH

sleeve is coat-shaped, with an upright
puff, which, added to the high cut up
on the shoulder, makes the arm seem
inordinately long, the shoulder ex-

OHIO STATISTICS.

The annual report of the Secretary Of
State presents some valuable statistics
that show tho steady growth of the
State IL ali its material departments.
The report is for the year 1873, and is
valuable additiod TO our statistical
record.
In reading the report we make few
points of interest.
! I. CORPORATIONS.
AT the close of the fiscal ye..r tFere
were / ,14S corporations doing business
in the State under general and special
/ charters; of these oil we're manuiaetu-
ling companies and 81 railroads. Char
ters were granted during the year to
404 companies, with an aggregate nom-
inaI capital of SOS, ,267 ,OOO. The aggre-
gate authorized capital stock of corpo-
rations at the close OF the year was
$S75, 5,119,613.
IL COAL.
The coal area of Ohio equals that Of
Great Britain, and is six times greater
than that of France, Prussia, or Aus
tria, and about four times greater than
that of Spain, which has greater ex-
tent of coal territory than any other ma
ton ON the continent. Great Britain
owes her greatness as commercial
and manufacturing nation to this sure
source of wealth and power. though
her mines are many hundred feet deep,
and are worked with great labor aad
risk of life.
AT the rate the mines of the State
now yield, the coal would not be ex-
hausted in 81 200 years, or would stand
the present draft on all the mines of the |
United States for 4 $50 years; or, with |
a yearly product equal to that Of the
mines of Great Britain, it would last
500 years!
These facts show that there is plen-
y of coal in Ohio Ter some time to come,
waste it as we may, aud notwithstand-
ng the rapid increase in consumption.
The amount of ccal mined in the State
or series Of Years compares as follows:
