A NOTED EDITOR GONE,

George Jones, of the New York Times,
Joins tho Great Majority.
POLAND SPRINGS, Me-, Aug. 12.-Mr.
George Jones, of the New York Times,
who has been i'll with dysentery for
some time died at 4 O'clock q. m.
Mr.. Jones was born seventy-nine
years ago at Poultney, VT, where his
father had settled on coming to America
from Wales. It was in this village
that Mr.. Jones met Horace
Greedy, and the two boys formed a
friendship that lasted nearly half q
century. They were employed together
in country store, and on newspaper,

Amos Bliss. Young Jones went to New
York in 1888, and again met Greeley,
but declined .n offer Of partnership. 7.

into the news agency business at
Albany, and in 1851 he started the New

get back to Elmwood and his family.
At times he fancied he was en-
pertaining royal visitors. Though ev-
IDENTIFY in much pain he made
no complaint. Last Sunday he
seemed better, and the deIirium left
him. Monday he was brighter than at
any previous time during his illness.
The weather had up to that time been
cool. The sudden appearance Of hot
weather had very bad effect upon the
patient. On Monday afternoon, when
the nurses were changing the bedding,
he suffered intensely when moved, and
finally said: "Oh, why don't you let mo
die. Those were his last words. He
seemed from that time to lose heart,
and gradually his life faded away.
James Russell Lowell was born in
Cambridge, Feb. 90, 1919. His literary
work is too we'll known to require men
ton His experience In public life was
not extensive. Toward the close Of 1874
Mr. Lowell was offered the post of minis
ter to Russia, which he declined, but in
from which he was translated IN 1880 to
that of minister to Great Britain. On the
change of administration in 1885, he re-
signed this position and returned to the
United States. The speeches which he
delivered in England were published in
1887 under the title of Democracy and
Other Addresses" Though life long Re-
publican, Mr.. Lowell supported the oandi-
dacy of Mr. Cleveland for reelection to
the presidency in 1883. During the slave
agitation prior to the civil war he was .
prominent advocate of abolition, and had
been equally outspoken in more recent
years in urging the reform Of the civil
in Cambridge, where he was born. He
spent most Of his declining years with his
sister, Mrs Burnett, at Deerfoot farm,
South Borough, Mass, and with his
grandchildren, whom he adored. Hero he
did his last literary work.

heM IT'S DENIAL.
President Harrison viii Not Refuse to Be
Candidate for denomination.

kNssAuoAS harhAsOu VIII NOT de1use TO De
q Candidate for denomination.
CHICAGO, Aug. ia special to The
Tribune from Cape May, N. j., says:
President Harrison, through Private Sec
Rotary Halford, Saturday, denies the
story that he Is about to declare over his
own signature that he viii refuse to be
a candidate for reneminatien, The presi-
dent replied In his usual manner that he
would not discuss newspaper articles.
Mr.. Harrison's friends say that while the
president is not chasing after nominal
ton he desires denomination. His
,subordinates are doing the work while
he looks on and notes the effect. The
president has not written any letter de-
clining to permit his name to come be-
fore the national convention, but 1t is
said that there exists an implied under
standing between Mr.. Harrison and Sec
rotary Blaine to tho effect that one Of
them will decline in advance should the
other develop the greater strength. This
is simply tacit agreement existing only
in the inferential sense, but it seems to
be an agreement nevertheless. All Of
Mr.. Harrison's friends seen lately seem
confident Of his yenouajnation.
