voluntary membership from Cincinnati,
Philadelphia, Chicago, Pittsburg and

belonging to the steamer st. Kilda ON
the Indian Ocean ten years ago. The

any restaurant keeper to serve us with
the dinner we want. These men fear
that their business would be ruined if

The death in the White House OF Mrs.
Harrison makes the second case in the
history of the Executive Mansion in
which the wife of President has died
there. A little more than half century
hgo, on September 10, 1912, Letitia
Christian Tyler, first wife of President
John Tyler, died in the White House.
She had entered it in delicate health,
unable to perform the social duties of
the place, but her death, nevertheless,
came as surprise and shock to the
country. The tolling Of the church
bells the following day announced her
death. The funeral ceremonies took
place in the East Room. Two Presidents
also have died in the White House.
William Henry Harrison, the Presidents
grandfather, ended his days there just
one month after his Inauguration
Zachary Taylor, the old Mexican war
hero, also died in the White House in
July of the second year after his in.
auguration. There have been a few
other deaths in the historic building. OF
which deaths two were of members of
the Presidents family circle. Lincoln IS
little boy, "Tad," died there, and so did
Frederct Dent, Mrs. Grants father.
During President Arthur's administra-
tion the H:waliuu Minister suddenly fell
at New Years reception and died in Q
very short time.

The business men look forward to the
