Mrs, HarrisOn'S Death

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Sorrow reigns
at the White house to-day. The flag is
not raised as usual. Over all the gov.
ernment Offices and over the hotels and
many business buildings flags are at
half-mast.
From the hour when the White house
was closed, following the death of Mrs.
Harrison at ! 40 a. M, quiet had reigned
until the opening of the mansion. Presi-
dent Harrison retired and obtained some
rest. When he reappeared this morning
he bore himself with calmness and
fortitude that comes from dependence
upon higher power and resignation to
the mandates of His will He was, of
course, suffering greatly from the blow
that had fallen, no less severe because
long delayed and long expected, but bis
morning greeting was as much like the
usual one as could have been expected.
All day long constant and almost
noiseless stream Of carriages has passed
through the eastern entrance to the
grounds, and after leaving cards of con-
dolence at the main door of the White
house, drove out by the carriage exit to
the west.
A great number of kilograms con-
veying messages of sympathy and sor-
row have been received at the White
house from all parts of the country.
One Of the first came from Mr.. and Mrs.
Cleveland.
kilograms of coincidence we're also re-
ceived from Queen Victoria, Pope Leo,
Mr.. Blaine and hundreds of promi nent
people throughout the country.
Mrs. Harrison will be buried at In
dianapolis Friday. There will be pri-
vate exercises in the Blue room of the
White house Thursday morning
conducted by Rev. DR.. Hamlin, and
services at Indianapolis in the First
Presbyterian church, of which the presi-
dent and Mrs. Harrison were for many
years active members, on Friday. The
funeral train will be run over the Penn
sylvania road, reaching indianapolis at
a. m., Friday.

A Baby Story,

A childless woman whose devotion to
other peoples children is proverbial among
her friends, one chilly day met in q
Fulton street shop the envied mother of
. one of her little pets. After greetings she
inquired for the small Harold, was told
that he was we'll and was, in fact, at that
moment sleeping in his carriage at the shop
entrance, his mother having brought him
shopping with her in the temporary loss
of nurse.
"What heartless thing to dol ex-
claimed the other, this very cold day.
Oh, it takes you favored mothers to neglect
your treasures" 81.
In few minutes the two separated, but
the thought of the little one, chilled per-
haps and suffering, SO wore upon the
woman who was not its mother that she
resolved to go to the door and bring the
baby in. Hurrying to the entrance, she
picked the sleeping infant out of it's downy
rugs and was carrying it, lovingly and
tightly held, when q distracted woman
breathlessly seized her.
Give me my babyl What do you mean,
you wretched womanp' VI e .5El
Surprised, but confident it was her
friends baby she was protecting, she re-
pulsed the woman with, t'This is not your
baby; it is Mrs B. .'s baby. What do you
mean?" 3si ss'E
The other woman became nearly frantic
and the scene was on the point of touching
the tragic when Mrs. b. herself appeared.
The words of her friend had aroused her
maternal fears, and she, too, had started
to ascertain how her little one Jared in the
chilly yestibule. In a moment she had
released the friend from the unpleasant
accusation by .disowning the baby in her
arms and pointing to her child still sleep
ing in a carriage whose style and belong
ings were very similar to the one from
which the zealous friend had stolen q
baby The mother Of the latter only half
listened TO the explanation and went otf,
glancing back as IL she feared 8 renewal Of
what she evidently firmly believed was an
attempt at kidnap ping. New York Times.

PIERRE, s. D., Oct. 26.-The secre-
tary of state has received by mail the
resignation of Chauncey L. Wood, of
Rapid City, one Of the regularly nomin-
ated Democratic 1didates for congress.
The resignation comes to the secretarv
so that the name may be stricken frorl
the official ballots. This seems like an
indication of fusion. AS today is the
last day on which resignation can be re-
ceived it is anticipated that there will
at once be several more designations on

sentiments" THE GAZETTE would not
if it could coerce either one of them into
the abandonment of his favorite for

of Mr.. Mills towards the leaders of the
Democratic party which invoked THE

chosen without regard to senatorial is

they could have committed Fort Worth

or for governor.
The GAZETTE has been assured by
so many delegates-Mills men-to the

they think the resolution was out of
place, it is hardly worth while to dis
cuss that question further.

A CASE IN EQUITY.

It is stated upon indisputable au-
thority that the Fort Worth and Rio
Grande railway has suffered serious
and what threatens to be fatal loss if
continued, as the result of the com
MISSIONS schedules applied to the pc
culiar conditions OF its traffic. Appeal
has been made to the commission in its
behalf, the justice of which was recog-
nized through the assurance by Chair
man Reagan that a general increase of
10 per cent upon its tariffs would be
granted.
It is claimed for the road that such
increase will be wholly insufficient to
enable it to meet its current expenses,
and that the inevitable end will be a
receiver.
Without the figures at hand, it is, OF
course, impossible to Judge fairly of
the situation of the Rio Grande's
affairs. That they demand prompt
and adequate attention from the com
mission is conceded by its chairman.
1t would be grave mistake to give to
it anything less than the full relief
necessary to enable it to pay running
expenses and q reasonable dividend to
its stockholders.
