change until death came to separate
them. Their iondness for their home
and the pleasure they took in the family
life and tho simple joys filed their
horizon and gave an example OF con-
jugal affection that all the world is
better for knowing about.
Their honeymoon was passed under
the paternal roof at North Bend, below
Cincinnati. In the following March the
young couple went to indianapolis. In
addition TO the care bestowed upon
her education tho young wife was train
ed in household duties.
The cash capital at tho command OF
Benjamin Harrison when he began
married life and the practice of his pro-
fession was $500. an advance on lot in
Cincinnati inherited through his aunt.
On August - Russell Harrison, their
eldest child, was born. The couple
steadily grew in the estimation OF their
neighbors and Mr.. Harrison achieved
iame in politics. All the world knows
his brilliant military career in the war
for tho Union. In 1881 General Har-
rison entered the senate OF the United
States and Mrs. Harrison became q
member OF that distinguished circle,
the wives OF senators. In her WASH
ington residence OF six years Mrs. Har-
rison extended her sphere OF useful
ness. Her name was associated with
noble charities and church work.
When the family came to the white
house DR.. Scott, who had resided here
with his widowed daughter, Mrs. Rus
sell Lord, went TO live with them. The
first break in the united circle was the
death OF Mrs Lord, which occurred
December 10, 1889. Mrs. Harrison was
a long time recovering from this blow.
At the beginning Of the grip cpl
demic Mrs. Harrison shared the fate OF
her cntire household, save the Presi-
dent. Before she was taken down, how
ever, she nursed all the rest.
Several times afterward she suffered
again from all the painful symptoms of
the first attack, and especially SO last
spring year ago.

other Engineer Billing and Conductor
GerlacheT, ofthe coal train both jumped
from the cab and what injuries they
sustained were received in falling.
No one was on the passenger engine
but Engineer Fitch and Fireman
Welsh. They were given no time to
think OF their own safety, and were
buried in the ruins before they knew
what had happened.
When the collision occurred Con-
ductor Hamilton was in the third pas
senger coach-the one next to the Pull
man. With q remarkable exhibition
OF coolness he turned his attention at
once to the dead and wounded, and
soon had them out Of the wreck. The
injured were quickly taken away and
soon row OF seven bodies were laid
out on the side OF the road and bat
tered and torn almost beyond the hope
OF recognition.
Word was Immediately sent in several
directions for medical aid, and in a
short time staff OF physicians we're
on hand looking after the injured who
could not be Immediately removed in
the ambulance As soon as the wounded
had all been attended to they were re-
moved to ambulances, those who could
60 home or come to the city going to
trains and the other adjacent hospitals.
The dead were taken to the city police
station at Manayunk.
The narratives OF these who escaped
and OF the rescuers who searched the
wreck few minutes after the collision
occurred form n series OF pictures that
demand a brush dipped In all the hor-
rors that attending the most disastrous
OF such occurrences, save one-.hat of
fire. 1t was by the very narrowest
margin, by miracle practically. that
the tragedy was not holocaust.
Rumors were current this afternoon
that some arrests might be made, but
Chief of the Reading Coal and Iron
Police O'Brien said that nothing would
be done in the matter until the coron-
er's inquest Is held. This is set for
next Thursday morning.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 25.-Mrs'
Harrison is no more. AT lao a, m.
came the end. For the second time in
the history of the white honse Presi-
dents wife has died within the walls.
Mrs. Harrison, met death with the pa
tience and resignation ola devout Chris
tian and herlast days we're comparatively
free from pain.
For twenty-four hours the President
and family had been almost constantly
at her bedside awaiting the end. Last
night was without special Incl
dent, but late and early-so frequent
that he could have slept but little, if at
all, the President was in and out OF the
sick chamber and was never away Tor
any length OF time.
The resistance offered by the consti-.
tuition OF the patient was marvellous and
surprising to the physician and all
at the bedside. There was no
struggle, no exhibition of pain
but a simple passive resistance that
was battling in its quiet intensity, Dr;
Gardner took up the feeble hand and
felt the wrist. The blood still
crept through the contracting ar
teries, but, oh, how slowly. He
shook his head and said that briet ILL
teen minutes must surely finish the
struggle. The agitation OF the family
could no longer be controlled and
realizing his utter helplessness to
longer cope with his formidable foe, and
from consideration for the sacredness
Of such grief as this, the devoted physi:.
clan and friend bowed his head and
passed out OF the door.
AS the time piece marked the hour OF
1:4O o'clock there was an interruption
OF the feeble breath, resumption and
then stop, this timo to be eternal, and
the life Of Caroline Scott Harrison had
gone out peacefully and quietly and
without pain.
All Of the family in Washington
werc present at the death-bed except
the three little grandchildren and
the venerable DIR. Scott, the
father OF Mrs. Harrison. They
we're: President Harrison, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mckee, Mr.. and Mrs. Russell
Harrison; Lieutenant and Mrs. Dim
mick and Mrs. Newcomer. In addition
Mrs. Harrison's faithful maid, Jose;
phine, and Miss Davis, the trained
nurse, were in the room.
The members OF the family spent a
fow minutes around the)ifeless clay and
let n veil be drawn over their grief.
When they emerged with sorrowtul
faces, the President went immediately
10 his own room and closed his door

ing of cannon and ringing OF bells.
Messra. Reid and Depew were escort
ed to the rink by several clubs. The
rink was packed with people when the
speakers reached it.
Mr.. Reid was introduced first. H9
talked OF the calamity cry that had
been raised by the Democrats. He
said he had been particularly interested
in this trip through Indiana and along
the Wabash, because OF the statements
that he had read in Democratic news
papers that the people Of Indiana were
overtaken with calamities. He said he
had failed to see any sign OF tribulation
in his trip across the northern part OF
Indiana. He asked if the sheriff was
present, and he said that If the officer

hear from citizens Of Logansport
whether or not the sheriff was prosper

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-The monster meet

pices of the College League Of Republi-
can clubs, marked one OF the largest
political gatherings OF the campaign in
this city. The original plan was to
hold monster meeting at the Auditor.
ium, but it became manifest several
days ago that this vast building would
be quite inadequate 10 accommodate
the crowd, and arrangements were
made for an overflow meeting at Bat

nouncement was made that tue issue OF
tickets for the overflow meeting had
also been exhausted. The same speak
ers addressed both meetings, first speak
ing at the Auditorium, afterward being
escorted by the committees TO Battery

made chairman and received flatterinG
ovation at the Auditorium. In assum-
ing the chair he spoke few words Of
greeting to his fellow Chicagoans and
expressed pleasure at being home once
more.
Chairman Lincoln then introduced
Hon. Charles Foster, secretary OF the
treasury, who opened his speech by the
assertion that Democratic success in
this campaign means political and
economic revolution in this country, il
the Democratic party means what it
says. The Republican party, on the
other hand, was the,party Of safety and
prosperity. In the thirty years Of its
existence it had never met problem it
was not able to solve.

wSsHIxoroN, D. O., Oct. 24.--All the
members Of the diplomatic corps called
at the white house during tho forenoon
to leave messages OF sympathy for the
the President and family. Notwith-
standing the publicity given to tho fact
that Mrs. Harrison was near to her
death, there was the usual rush to the
house OF curious sight-seers, for whose
thoughtless conduct the only excuse to
be offered is that they were strangers
in the city. Although the house was
closed to them they did not appear to
realize the fact until they were con-
fronted at the door OF the main en-
trance with two signs conspieuously
placed, each bearing the word CLOSED. !"
While the President and his grief
stricken family were gathered about
Mrs. Harrison's bedside awaiting the
inevitable, Private Secretary Halford
and the other members Of the clerical
force were at their desks in another
portion OF the executive mansion.
Sergeat Loeifler, tho usher at the
Presidents Office door, stood in his
usual place all day aud told all callers
who rot that far that the President
would not be in his office to-day, and
that all messages for him should be lett

total amount Of wages has risen from
s5.7iI. s57 to s7.O41. 100, and the deposits in

while in Great Britain they are but si4 per

worSmen turned deaf ear last April 10
Grover Cle7eland's starting CRY, "the tar
if is tax" and voted the Republican
ticket.
The Democratic tariff reformers claim
that while free trade would lower wages it
would so reduce the cost of living as 20
benefit the lanoring man in the long run.
This fallscy is exposed when We remember
that while in our country wages average II
per cent. higher than in Great Britain. the
entire cost of living averages but 17o per
cent. higher here than in the United
Kingdom, go that even il We should real
ize the full benefit from free trade our
xorkmen would still be 1911 per cent
worse off than at present.
The workirgman now gets his sugar. tea
and coffee free. Under the Democratic
tariff for revenue only all these articles
would be heavily taxed. The proposed
Democratic restoration Of the tar on sugar
would raise the price 3 cents q pound.
And how would the laboring man like
Grover CleveIand's platform OF the Mills
bill, which would give him Stree WOOL
married to taxed sugar, tea and coffee.
The Mckinley tariff on wool satisfies both
the wool grower and the manufacturer, for
both wool grower and manufacturer pro-
tested TO the last session of congress
against the passage Of the free wool bill.
The National Association Of Wool Manu-
facturers said:
There is universal agreement among manu-
fa1turers that the tariff il now accurately and
scientifically adjusted IN its relationship BE-
tween the duties on raw material and the
finished product In 1850 our wooden rasnufac.
turers consumed s5,35i.se5 pounds of greasy
wool, Of which 304 per cent. was imported.
In 1890 their consumption has grown 10 about
100000 pounds, Of which % per cant wal
imported. Ii the ordinary wear OF
our people the domestic manufacturers can
now easily supply their entire wants with
fabrics which for durability and general excel
lence are nowhere surpassed. In
13o the British manufacture was consuming
nearly four times as much twoo.) 80
our own. In 1870 the British manufacture con-
sumed but IL per cent mere wool
than our own. No record OF growth
equal to our own has ever been witnessed.

| be surpassed by the growth OF tina next decade
