grant the widow of President Lincoln a
pension of 5000 year, It lacked
one vote in the Senate to secure prssage.
That was the vote Senator jackson of
Tennessee. He offered to vote for the bill
providing it was so amended as TO give an
nual pensions of s, 600 to Mrs. Polk and
the widow Of President Tyler as well as
Mrs. Lincoln, and the bill became law.
Since that time Mrs. Polk has lived on this
pension.
One Of the physicians who was con-
stantly at Mrs. Folks bedside from the
time she became i'll, when called upon this
morning by a reporter, spoke in an affect
ing manner Of the deathbed scene. He
said he had never known grander char
acter than that of Mrs. Polk. a large
number Of kilograms of coincidence were
received from prominent people in all parts
of the country and the flag on the state
capitol was placed at half-mast- The
funeral will occur Sunday morning, the re-
mains being placed in the vault alongside
those of her distinguished husband.
