The Efforts to Arouse the Lady.

Between one and two o'clock this aftern noOn
her younger sister cndcavored to awaken her,

summoned and powerful reStOratives. includ-

physicians expressed the opinion that Miss

Iater-Miss Baynrd had accepted an invita-.
tion TO assist Miss Cleveland at her reception

Mrs. Utly and Miss Love, who were also to
assist ut tho reception, were Whiting Miss Bay

and the reception was to begin in an hour.
The Marine Band was stationed In the main
vestible. and the leader was cOnversing with
Col. J. NJ. Wilson with regard to playing q
tune as signal for the opening Of the rccep.

Immediate Cause of the Death.

The immediate cause Of Miss Bayard
death was disease of the heart. She had been
troubled with weakness of that organ, and
been treated by the: family physician at in
tervnls tor several years.
At the reception ut her fathers house last
night it was remarked that she was unusual.

TO entertain the guests. 1t Is presumed that
undue cxerti0n may have prrcipitnted the ia.

The White House Ordered Closed.

Orders were Mt once issued to close the
housc. The band was dismissed, and the peo-
ple in waiting were notified that the recep-
lion had been postponed. Ushers were sta
toned ut the main door and Carriage en-
trance to inform callers that the house was
closed for the day.
The news spread quickly through the city
occurrence. The President, upon the receipt
OF the message from Secretary Bayard. nm,
nouncing the death Of his daughter, recalled
invitatlons to dinner which he had intend
ed to give Monday evening, in honor of Mr..

Her Absence Commented On.

Prior TO descending to the Blue Room
where the reception was to take place, the
absence of Miss Bayard was commented OH
as singular, rs she was usually very prompt
in sucn matters, and was momentarily en-
pccted to arrive. While they were wonder
ing at her delay. a messenger notified Col. La
mont that Harry Bryan, private secretary to
Secretary Bayard, was in his office and had
something Important to communicate to
the President. Col. Lamont excused himself
anu went to see Bryan. That gentleman in:
formed him that Miss Bayard was dend. and
that Secretary Bayard had instructed him to
communicate the fact to the President. Col
Lamont IT. once informed the President, who
was very much shocked at the unexpected
Intelligence, and the two gentlemen joined
the ladies' and announced the sudden death
OF their friend.

The wound proved of a far less dan

imagined. Indeed, it was not serious,
though Philip Bathurst must give up
gOtd-ligging for some time. Isaac
Lewis at once constituted himself his
nurse, taking his place by his bedside.

senses clearer, said, regarding the Jew

The words were accompanied by a
meaning glance.
PerfOrce Philip had to obey; but no

shelter depart for their days work, than
he exclaimed:

"Yesh. will answer"

whom he had kept up communication.
Eagerly he tore it open, and read these
brief sentences:

The Southern Addition.

Is the City Council satisfied with its
action respecting the addition south of
Anderson street? It's difficult to see how
it can be. Improvements in the addition
have about stopped, and why? Simply
because the plan for streets and lots,
adopted by Council against the protest of
the owners of about nine-tenths of the
property, is a confusing and an unsatis-
factory one. 1t is a plan that is caIcu-
lated to hinder the improvement of the
addition. It is certainly not likely to pro-
mote the best interests of the city.
If the Council had never adopted any
plan the improvement of the addition
would be pushed forward much more
rapidly than is now being done. The lot
owners would have taken the matter of
streets in hand, and there would have
been no such confusion as there IS now
respecting the lines of the streets and the
lots.
If the Council doesn't know what a
deadening effect their action has had on
the improvements of the addition it would
be a wise thing for it to vi sit the locality
way OF improvements before its plan was
adopted and what is being done now.
1t is not vet too late for the Council to
rescind its action. If inquiry proves that
it has made a mistake, why should il not
rectify it in the easiest and quickest way
possible?
Those who own the greater part of the
property of the addition ought certainly
to have voice in chosing the plan for its
improvement. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that they are not going to advise anything
that will not promote the interest OF the
addition. There is reason for thinking
that if the Council will take the trouble
to ind out what the eff of the adoption
of the plan, on which it Is now supposed
the addition is being Improved, has been,
it is probable that it will hasten to undo
its work.

( disposition in varoas parts Of tn. state
/ 70 send delegates uninsructed, or so in
/ s,ructed as TO permit OF the exercise Of a
wide discretion. The more the people
I think Of it the less inclined they

placing two Democratic candidates in the

would, OF course, be accepted as settled,
but if the friends Of neit1er have ma

1t difficult, If not impossible, for the con-
yeutiOn 10 reach a harmonious result.
IL is not probable that either Gen. Cor
don or Mai. Bacon will advance anything
new respecting either their personal rec
ords or State questions between now and
the meeting Of the convention. They have
had plenty ofopportunities to enlighten the
people relative to their views on matters
affecting the welfare OF the State, but they
do not appear to have improved them.
Their aim appears to have been to pursue
a course that would not arouse opposi-
ton. While they are not to be blamed
Tor this they have a very poor opinion Of
the intelligence OF the people if they think
it will not be noticed.
Perhaps both candidates were so de-
sirous of exciting and amusing their au-
dences during the joint debates that they
did not think they could afford to discuss
at length the dry details of matters upon
which the prosperity Of the state depends.
Now, however, that there is no longer any
necessity for trying to arouse the au-
diences they address to a high pitch OF
excitement, by flights OF eloqueuce and
personal illusions, for the purpose OF Gre
ating the impression that the one
getting the greater applause is the more
popular candidate, it may reasonably be
expected that they will devote the most
OF their time to defining their positions
on public questions in which every citi-
zen of the State is interested
They VIII have nearly two months to do
this. and If they pursue this course they
will, at the end OF the campaign, be much
stronger with the people than if they con-
tinue to deal in personalities. They have
both seen, doubtless, that their course
during the joint discussions did them
harm rather than good.
