WASHINGTON, Oct % Mrs Harrison

died in the White House. And it is a
strange coincidence that most of tie

with the family of President Harrison.
The first death was that of President
William Henry Harrso n, which oc-
Cured ON the morning of April 4, 1871,
just one month after his inauguration.
The President, on that occasion, went
Uhroug the ceremonies bareheaded in
the midst o. driving storm. On April
he was con ielled to take to his bed
and send Tor a physician. But the dis
case resisted all treatment, and at 1890
o'clock on the morning of April 4 tue
President breatned his last.
Mrs. Letitia Tyler, first wife of Presi-
dent Tyler, who was elected Vice-Presi-
dent on the ticket with Gen. Harrison,
and succeeded him as Chief Executive,
died in the White House on the 10Th Of
September the next year, 1912.
During her brief stay in the Executive
Mansion, Mrs. Tyler was unable to dis
charge the duties of hostess, her place
being taken first by Mrs Robert Tyler,
her sons wife, and later by Mrs. Semple,
her daughter Her funeral sermon was
preached by Dr. Hawley and her
body laid to rest in the family burying
ground, New Kent county, Va.
The third death was that of President
Zachary Taylor, VINO entered the White
House March H. 1S49 He lived only until
July 8, 1850 His death was the result
Of exposure on the 4th of July just prev
ious, when he took part in the dedication
of Washington's monument. The weather
WAS exceedingly hot and the President
drank freely of ice water and partook of
"A large quantity of fruit.
Immediately upon his return to the
White House he was seized with an in
disposition from which he never recovered,
but which was not believed to be of "a
fatal or even serious nature on the
morning OF his death,
Willie Lincoln, second son of President
Lincoln, died in the White House in Feb
ruary, 1862, when Tad the favorite
son OF the martyred President lay ser-
ously ill.,
Mr. Lincoln said that the blow was
the saddest experience OF his life and the
hardest to bear. Willie was II years old
when he died.
Frederick f. Dent, father of Mrs U. S.
Grant, who was memUer OF the fam
lily from the time Gen. Grant entered
the White House, died there on Decem-
Der 10, 1873.

sible To accomplish, and an undertaking

twice made the trip from New York to
Lands End, England, In boats but little
better than the Sapolio, and his friends ex-
pect to hear any day of his arrival at Palos.

voyage day by day, and throws over bottle

time the memoranda were written. Ii the

there are many who will hold the opinion
that though not as important practically,
the feat of this modern adventurer is as
daring as that which has made immortal
the name of the great Spanish Italian nayi-
gator, who spent seveDty-one days in max
ing nearly the same trip with three of the
finest vessels then procurable and 80 men.
Certainly 1t Is daring undertaking. aud the

quite an interesting feature of the Sapolio

FOR SWEET ANGELINA.
Walter Mead Preferred
Death to Losing Her.
She Was Natoma-street Belle and He Was
Jealous-A Letter Which He Did Not
Want Published.

Walter Mead. said to be employed In the
United States Laundry, was so seriously
crossed in love yesterday that he en-
deavored to put an end 10 himself by poison.
and is now awaiting results in the City and
County Hospital
At 80 O'Clock yesterday afternoon De-
tectlve e. Z. Byrnes was called to 52Sh
Valencia street, where Mead has been
lodging for some months. The mans
actions had alarmed the household, and the
officer was called in to investigate his con-
dition.
On arriving at the house, which is kept
by Mrs. Olphant, the detective WAS
obliged to force the door, Mead having in
the meantime securely locked and bolted it.
On gaining an entrance he found the man
apparently in the throes OF dissolution,
and either unwilling or unable to tell what
he had done.
Looking around the officer espied on
small table alongside the seemingly dying
man the photograph of buXom girl, on top
of which was laid lady's diamond ring.
A glance at the bureau revealed an undi-
rected letter. which ran as follows:
Give these things TO Angelina Greenwood.
Send for her right away. Be sure aud do not
lose minute; might speak 10 her. She lives
at 1904 Natoma street. Tell her L prefer death
sooner t0an lose her,
Good-by all. God bless you all, for he wont
me, know.
loved her and would die for her. For Gods
sake, don't send for doctor, Mrs. Oilphant. /
don't want this published. Let the Morgue
bury me.
From this the detective instantly OWNED
that the man had used poison, and calling
for such emetics as his experience sug-
gested, be dosed the man literally with
mustard, cocktails, warm water, salt aud
other delightful decoctions, till Meed's
stomach was relieved of the deadly drug as
far as it was possible to relieve him. He
was then hurried to the City and County
Hospital and treated on the supposition that
he had taken laudanum, for he persistently
refused to tell the drug he had used.
a reporter OF THE CALL en1eavored to
interview Miss Angelina last night. but her
brother objected, and would afford no light
on the cause of Mead'S rash act further
than that it was the result of jealousy. He
admitted knowing Mead. who for time
lived with the Greenwood family, and said
that as far as he knew Mead was respect
able, industrious man.
At late hour last night the attaches at the
City and County Hospital believed Mead
would recover, but on account of the I'M
certainty as TO the means he used to ae-
c0mplish his purpose, they could not give
any positive opinion. The man was per-
feetly conscious, but absolutely refused to
make any statement OF the reasons which
prompted him TO attempt his life.
