A Saxon Banquet.

From Chambers Journal
At Saxon dinner the dining table was oblong
and rounded at the ends. The cloth was q rich
crimson, with a broad gilt margin hung low
beneath the table. The company sat upon
chairs with concave backs, and we're arranged
with regard to the sexes, much as at the
present day. The dishes consisted of fowls.
fish. flesh of oxen, sheep, deer and swine, both
wild and domestic-not excepting certain por-
lions OF the sea swine or porpoise. a food at
present little cared for, but at that period no
infrequent article of diet. Bread of the finest
wheaton -four lay two silver baskets upon
the table.
Almost the only vegetable in use among the
Saxons wa kalewort, and the condiments salt
and pepper. The various articles used were
boiled, broiled baked, and were handed by
the attendants upon small spies to the company
Prior to the introduction of forks into England
which was not till James Is time our ancestors
made use OF Dame Natures forks their fingers,
and for the sake Of cleanliness each person was
provided with small silver ever con tanning
water and two lowered napkins of the finest
linen Their dessert consisted Of grapes figs
nuts, apples, pears and almonds. In the tenth
year Of the rein of King Edward Ill there was
an act of parliament passed which ordained that
no man should be served with more than two
courses. except upon some great holiday therein
specified, on which occasion he might be served
with three.

Death came at m early hour this morning to
end the long and an xious watch 1T the White
House. Mrs. HArrison's husband and children
were at the bedside when her pulse ceased its
deliberate movement, when her eyes ssw their
last of earth.
That the end could not long be delayed wss
evident yesterday. and that IL did not come
sooner was due to the mental forcs which haa
always been one Of MIRA Harrison's Interesting
characteristics. DIR. Gardner seemed fully sst-
isted yesterday afternoon that dissolution
certain within three or four hour, but the
patient, then barely conscious, held on 10 life
with surprising tenacity.
number OF persons Of social and political
prominence called at the Executive Mansion be-
tween 3 and 4 o'clock, but it was not until few
minutes after the latter hour that . great out
pouring Of popular sympathy vas apparent
Then the employees Of the State, War
and Navy Departments were on the streets
and q great proportion Of these clerks went
out of their regular way home to make inquiry
as to Mrs. Harrison's condition. In spite Of
the chilly atmosphere hundreds Of them stood
around reading THE STAR's story Of the day and
Its anNieties. Groups Of men and women
stopped in front Of the mansion and talked
over the situation with the newspaper men who
were ont near the gates. Expressions Of sym
patty were universal.

God Be With Her!
There's mourning in the air tonight;
There's grief In ev'ry breath,
For her who fought the Christians light
And died the Christians death;
More noble than the crested dame
Who sails Ger Fashions sea;
She left behind cherished name
nlumed by Charity!
All parties fam would place wreath

All Christians, for her virtues, breathe
prayer, or drop a tear
she lived for others-kind and quick
To 60 where duty led;
A minst'ring angel to the sick;
But now, alas, she's dead!
We dare not bid our nations chief
Dry unavaiing tears;
But Time will calm the heart-wrung Rrief.

What wonder that, by day and night,
He scarcely left her side
As dear and precious to his sight,

Mrs. Harrison spent SO much time in this
city, where her father and sister, the late Mrs.
Lord. so long resided. that she felt practically
as much at home here as she did at Indianap-
oils She used to say that previous to coming
to live at the White House she had lived all
sorts OF ways here, as she had successfully
boarded, kept house or made temporary stays
in many of the hotels. She had enjoyed q vari-
ETY. OF experiences and knew life in pretty much
every phase il came to a transient resident. No
matter with whom she came in contact she i'm
pressed herself q woman Of more than ordi-
nary character, of great force Of mind. but Of
unusual gentleness and evenness Of disposition.
In fact the people who knew Mrs. Harrison
when her husband was in the Senate could find
no change in her when she came to the White
House, save that the passing years bad silvered
her soft brown hair. In manner Mrs. Harrison
was Just the same-kind and thoughtful for
every body. great and small-and the friends Of
her early days in Washington we're her friends
to the last.
Mrs Harrison and Mrs. Russell Lord were
the only daughters Of the venerable DR.. John

As MISTRESS OF THE WHITE HOUSE
In carrying out the Inequalities of the White
House she has never been excelled She pre-
sided with easy dignity and grace upon these
occasions and omitted no detail that would add
to the pleasure of those attending them She
carries out to the letter the written and nm
written laws Of the house and did az much more
as it was possible to do within the limits Of each
season.
Speaking Of her yesterday a lady who has
known her for many years said 1.-THE Harri-
sons have been always noted for their hospital-
ity. They had always houseful Of COMPANY
at their indianapolis home and it was currently
said they really entertained beyond their means.
They kept up the practice here. II was not their
fault II any Of their old-time Indiana friends
left Washington without enjoying family meal
at the White House or o drive or some other
courtesy. DIR. Scott's old friends his pupils
or associates In his college presidents days,
practically Mrs. Harrison rarely sat down to
meal without some extra company"
Her thought and care expended itself upon
the house in every particular, and il Ia to her
mainly that the present excellent condition Of
the mansion is due. She had pride in its
history and a reverence for its old sime GUS
toms and patriotic desire that the Presidents
house should be worthy Of the people who
placed him there. She took pleasure in bring
ing its old treasures to light and placing them
where everybody could zee and admire them.
Only one other Presidents wife has died dur
ing his term Of office. This was the wife Of
President Tyler, who breathed her last in the
| White House on Saturday. the 10th September,
ls42, and just q half a century ago. She had q
long illness. but her death came % . great sur
prise and shock to the country at large. Her
death was announced by the tolling Of all the
church bells the following day. The funeral
ceremonies took place in the east room on Mon
day.
PROMINENT IN GOOD WORKS.
Mrs. Harrison was president Of the Daughters
Of the American Revolution and took great in
terest in the work Of that organization. The
Garfield Hospital Of this city win miss her
greatly, for she was ono Of the active
workers in that most commendable charity.
She has been prominent in charitable organiza-

THE BLACK PATTI.

She Charms a Magnificent Audience at the
Exposition-She Is Loudly Applauded-
Something of Her Appearance and
Her Singing.
The main hall of the Exposition building
was uncomfortably crowded last night to
hear Miss Sissieretta Jones. the Black Patti,
sing. The young colored woman sings like
Patti, without the slightest visible effort;
her voice is well cultivated, her high notes
enable her to effectually render the most
difficult compositions, and her low tone is
peculiarly deep, intense and masculine.
This sable diva is highly cultivated, of
profound insight into the spirit of her art
Yet she sings intelligently, wholly without
affectation and with sound musical feeling.
her teeth would be counted the wonder OF
ell lands-it is a strong and beautiful voice,
that sounds with the steadiness of a
trumpet. Though it does not ring with
passion, it shakes the heart, not your ears,
with the pathetic warmth that marks all
negro singing. Her skin has a soft lack
luster tint as of pale plush in shadow. Her
eyes are expressive and intuitively play
sympathetically colloQuial part Her
teeth would be the envy of her fair sisters
and the despair of dentistry. Her rather
rows, snowy white, whether in song or con-
versation. She entirely ca ptivated her mag
niflcent audience last night, and her every
performance this week will likely attract
just such a crowd as she entertained last
night,
