BY his orders the dying Secretary was
carried into the dish room adjoining the

many as four were applied to his body,
which was rapidly growing cold.

nounced to the diners that Secretary
Window, whom they had had the
pleasure of hearing only few minutes
before had breathed his last.
"He is dead ~
This was the fearful announcement
that was sent through the gayly be-
decked banquet hall, around which still
hung like funeral pail the smoke of
the after-dinner cigars.
"He Is Deadr'
The words went to the heart of every
man who heard them. Could they be-
lieve it? The brilliant orator of few
minutes before, aglow with enthusiasm,
predicting his future policy in the
Treasury, was only a mass of clay. His
voice was forever silenced, and hi last
words were for his country.
Every man looked at his neighbor
with blanched cheeks. Death, that
awful messenger, had descended upon
their feast, and taken from their midst
one of the nations chief officers.
Died of Heart Disease.
The Secretary had succumbed to an at.
tack of the heart. He had been for a
long time sufferer from heart disease
and only last Monday was visited by a
shock, which passed away without caus-
| ing him much inconvenience.
When it was officially announced that
| Secretary Window was dead, Secretary
| Tracy, who was a guest at the banquet
at once went to the nearest telegraph of
flee and sent a message to President Har-
rison, informing him of the sad event
and requesting him to inform Mrs. Win

S~COTTDALE, Pa, May 29.-The rush
Of old men for work ut the various
plants continues. In most instances,
however. they are turned off with an
excuse aud given to understand that
their services are not wanted. Hum
dreds Of the old miners are drifting
from one works to another in
the vain hope of finding work,
but everywhere they go they arc met
with the same statement: mo work
now" This simply means that the
black list has gone through the regions
and a man refused at m works is GER
tain to be refused ut another. As a re-
suit. they are either preparing to leave
the district for another field or are
drifting aimlessly about, and ore
homes have been broken up by the
strike that has just closed than by all
of the strikes that have preceded this
most gigantic failure.
Reports are coming in hourly OF the
helpless condition Of hundreds Of fam
lilies. Heretofore many of them have
been given credit ut the stores owing
to the idea that at some time or other
they would return TO work. When the
operators refused them work. however.
they were mt their wits ends With
no work. no supplies and no credit
hundreds Of them are in far worse
condition to-day than they were at any
time during the strike. Hundreds OF
others are living on q bare subsistence,
and had il not been for their garden
product-that every miner takes pride
in-before this they would have been
obliged to do more than ask their neigh
hors for temporary assistance.
