The condition of Miss Hattie Allen is so
favorable today that it is probable that
Senator Allen will not be called back To
Washington City on account of her illness.
Mrs. Allen said to the Posr-ISrELI1sEscER

believed that if her daughter had no set
back whatever within q month she would
probably be out of the house again. In the
event that there.is no change for the worse

THE DEATH OF rENNYsoN.
Fell Asleep In the Early Morn-A Tom
In Westminster Abbey.

- S~e ~ASASCR 81 Sn0 Early 0AOIu-A 1O"D
In Westminsuer Abbey.
LONDON. Oct. 6.-The poet Tennyson
died at LBS o'clock this morning. Since
yesterday afternoon it was evident to his
physicians that the end was only a ques-
ton OF few hours. The dying poet-laure-
ate gradually lost his strength, failing and
growing feebler little by little. but pain
lessly, and finally the end came peacefully
as flowed the life of the passing soul.
Death came to him as he could have
wished it. There was no artificial light in
the room, and only the mellow rays of the
autumn moon Lit up the chamber in which
the dying man lay and fell across the bed i,
bathing him in pure, pellucid light. form
ing Rembrandtesque background to the
scene. All was silent save the gentle
soughing of the wind through the trees
around the mansion, fitting requi-
EN- tor the poet who sang of
love and the beauty of nature.
So quietly did his soul depart that
the members of the family were not aware
of the fact till it was announced by the
attendant physician. Once or twice during
the night he lifted his eyes to the faces of
the watchers and q peaceful smile played
over his features. Lady Tennyson, though
herself feeble. bore up well when informed
that all was oyer.
A coincidence is the fact that a year ago
today Charles Stuart Parnell died.
1t is conjectured that Gladstone will ap-
point Algernon Charles Swinburne as poet
laureate to succeed Tennyson.
The canon of Westminster Abbey has
formally invited Hallam Tennyson to
bury his father in Westminster Abbey.
Hallam Tennyson is now so ill as to be
confined to bed.
The body of Lord Tennyson lies on the
bed where he died. He looks fifteen years
younger than before his death. His beard
has been carefully trimmed, his hands
folded over his chest, laurel wreath
crowns mis- head and another lies at his
feet. Burning wax tapers lend . subdued
light to the chamber.
The bishop of Winchester will preach
the funeral sermon in Haslemere church

Ono Lung Destroyed and the other At

WASHINGTON CITY. Oct. 6.-Aside from
the usual changes characteristic in con-
sumptive cases, there is no particular alter.
alton in the condition of Mrs. Harrison.
Her right lung is entirely congested, so
that she has no use of it whatever, and the
left lung is now involved. Although anx-
ious for prolonged life, the patient does
not exhibit the cheerfulness and hopeful
ness usually SO apparent in the case of
consumptives. This is due to the extreme
nervous exhaustion from which she suf-
fers. This extreme prostration has been
one great cause which has operated against
her rallying.
The most noticeable result of her illness
is the great emaciation. Before she was
taken i'll Mrs. Harrison weighed 1877
pounds. and it is said she has lost during
her prostration between forty and fifty
pounds.
