MRS. HARRISON EASIER.
The Report of Her Death Caused Grea Annoyance ar the White House.

The Report of Her Death Caused Grea
 Annoyance aE the White House,
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The anxiety il the Capital as to Mrs. Harrison's Hines, was increased last evening by the con. suant receipt of telegrams from other cities stating that reports as to her death were in circulation. These rumors were of course groundless, but they gave rise many unnecessary inquiries at the White House and caused annoyance to the grieve6 household.
 To-day Mrs. Harrison is easier and bet ter rather than worse. After his visit to Mrs. Harrison, Dr. Gardiner said that her condition was slightly improved, so much so that the anxiety occasioned by the patients condition yesterday, had, to some extent been dlssipated.
 It is by the narrowest thread that the poor sufferer clings to life. She is obliged to recline all the time on her back or partly on her right side, for, with the right lung gone and the left lung being consumed rapidly by the dis ease, great danger would attend lying in any other position.
 The physician this morning gave in structions to move her about no longer She is now totally unable to raise her head from the pillow, though at times she can and does slightly stir her shoul, ders.
 The paroxysms of coughing are very frequent and painful. Her respiration now varies between 40 and 50, which is more than double the normal.
 She is still taking nourishment, and in the same quantity that she has been able to take lately-about three beaten raw eggs in each 24 hours.
 This she is able to retain unless fit of coughing occurs soon after taking it, in W hich case the violent exertion of cough ing prevents retention of the nourish ment upon the stomach. The spread ot the disease over the left lung is rapid and alarming.
 Great nervous prostration has attended the terrible disease all along, compli. cated by the danger of an accumulation of watery matter in the cavity of the pleura, which would mean an early dis solution

THE CONTESTED ELECTION (
Arguments Made by Counsel Befol
 Judge Thayer To-Day.

Arguments Made by Counsel Before
 Judge Thayer To-Day.
 The preliminary skirmish in what promises to be an interesting contest took place this morning in the superior court room in City hall. Judge Thayer sat on the bench and listened to the ar- guments of Attorneys O'Neill and Root who appeared for the democratic nomi- nees for selectmen, Messrs Grelle and McElligott, and Attorneys Kellogg & Kellogg and Terry, who appeared for Messrs Pinney and Boughton, the repub- licans at present helding the offices of selectmen. In the beginning the counsel for defense demurred to the allegations claiming that the charges were not specific. Judge Thayer sustained the demurrer and allowed the petitioners to amend their pleadIngs by adding the charges in full. They were as follows: That E. w. Pinney, at present holding the office of first selectman, at the late election assisted the counters in the third ward by cutting open two-thirds of the envelopes. That George l. Boughton, in the fourth ward did count the envelopes in the town and city box, did select ten unsealed envelopes, did take the town and city ballots from the envelopes and sort them in piles. The arguments occupied but short time and decision was reserved.

LORD TENNYSON.

The following lines on the death
of the English Poet-Laureate, Lord
Tennyson, were written by an old
Hawaiian kamaaina formerly
well known in connection with the
Board of Health here.
They were suggested by Sir An
drew Clark's description of the
poets last hours and in acknow-
lodging the receipt of copy of
these lines, Sir A. Clark (who was
both friend and physician to Lord
Tennyson) wrote:
"They are, in my opinion, excel
lent, and full of high thoughts
melodiously expressed" and adds
that he would take the first oppor-
tunity of showing them to the
members of Lord Tennyson's
family:

AS sinks to rest q parting sun
Beneath the farthest bounds of sea,
In bright career so nearly run;
Has closed a noble life for thee
Whose harp, that echoed long and
sweet,
Not once sordid note has rung,
But ever taught the praises meet
OF him whose hand that orb has
hung!
No noisy Glamour stirs the air,
Or distant sounds of warning Earth,
AS peacefully in slumber there
Departs soul to newer birth
No paining struggle marks the face,
AS symptom of final strife;
For gentle thoughts alone place,
AS fickered up the lamp of life!
Celestial glory on a brow
That noble aspirations caught,
Will paint sacred halo now
Though never more to know a
thought!
All, all around is perfect peace,
AS on sleeping couch he lies;
And cen the gentle signs that cease,
Declare prophet never dies!
Live on in every heart of love,
The noblest bard nation owned;
But higher honor kept above
For nobler notes spirit throned!
And fit the resting place to be
Amid an army known to fame;
But none can take the palm from
thee,
Or laurels of a deathless name!
And craven on enduring stone
With ravages of Time will cope
A name to future ages known,
The prophet of q larger hope!

SIZZLING VILLAGES.
News From the Solomon Islands

News From the Solomon Islands.
Smelling villages and trying Sol
ONION Islanders on charges of muir
der have occupied the warship
Rapid for several months, says the
Sydney Herald. She got on the
track of the culprits who killed
Mr.. Nyberg and another white trad
er, and in one instance the charge
was clearly proved and the native
executed. Seven native villages
were destroyed during the Rapids
cruise of 10000 miles. Immedi-
ately the guilty natives get sig ht
of man-of-war they take to the
bush, and it is useless to attempt
to overtake them. The only way
to punish them for taking the lives
or property of the traders is to
wreck their villages, and this the
Rapid did. At Santa Cruz, where
Commodore Goodenough years ago
lost his life, the islanders were
found very friendly, and large
quantities of curios were purchased
there by the crew of the warship.
After completing the cruise in the
Solomon Group the Rapid went to
New Guinea. All was quiet there
and the ship came across to the
Queensland coast. At this time
Captain Kelham, in command OF
the Rapid, was taken very i'll,
and there appearing to be little
prospect of a speedy recovery he
was invalided home. The new COM
mander, Captain Sir Henry Asgill
Ogle, Bart, now on his way from
England, will join the Rapid at
Sydney.
