Typhoid Fever at East Canaan. Editor Of Neaos
 I see in last weeks issue of the NEWS that the board of health ascribes the prevalence of typhoid fever in East Canaan to the condition of the district school water closet. which is near well used by the children. The undersigned, and others, wish to contradict that state ment. In the first place, the children have never used the water from said we'll, or, more properly speaking, mud hole. Also. if the board of health had investigated the places specified by the medical authorities, the true sourse of the fever might have been properly To- cated. w. RI. FULLER,

THURSDAY, OCTOBER, s7, 1892.

The President has sustained great loss in the death of his devoted wife, who has been his loving companion from his youth in all his trials and tri- umphs. He has at least the consolation of knowing that the American people, whose heart has been with him in his vigil by the bedside of his wife. now sympathizes with him most sincerely.

 were summoned to the bedside. The pa- tient was in a semiunconscious and mo tionless condition and there wereindications that an immediate dissolution was at hand. The doctor then made nasty examination and found that the respiration was gradu- ally decreasing and there were other signs that the patient was in the throes of death. He made an almost inaudible communica- ton to the bereaved ones, using the words, q don't think she will last half an hour"
 Dr. Scott, Mrs. Harrison's venerable father, and her brother John were the only members of the family not present when she died.
 Dr. Gardner was in an adjoining room and was not present when his patient passed to the dark valley. From o'clock Mrs. Harrison was to all intents corpse, her breathing being hardly perceptible and her respiration gradually decreased until 1:40, when she passed away. Her death was as peaceful as child in sweet repose.
 President Harrison was at the right side of his wife in reclining position from o'clock, when Dr. Gardner notified the family that the end was close at hand.
 In this position he remained until 1:40 when life was thought to be extinct, and Lieutenant Parker, who was at the bed side, called in pr. Gardner, and the ex- perienced eye of the physician soon detected that Mrs. Harrison was no more.
 The President's Anguish.
 The president gave way to an almost audible outbnrst of grief, but soon sup pressed his emotion and endeavored to con sole Mrs. Mckee, his daughter. All the members of the family remained in the room for probably fifteen or twenty min utes after the death, and then overcome by grief they repaired to their respective rooms and were alone in their great sorrow.
 Lieutenant Parker was also present when Mrs. Harrison passed away, and he said in speaking to the newspaper men that it oc- cured without a struggle. Private Secre- tary Halford immediately notified all the cabinet officers who are now out of town of Mrs Harrison's death.
 Although no arrangements have been made for the funeral services, they will doubtless be held at the White House and the remains taken to Indianapolis for inter ment.
 During the evening there were received at the executive mansion telegrams of con dolence from all parts of the country ex- pressing sympathy for the president in his hour of grief.
 Carrie |. Harrison was the daughter of the Rev John w. Scott, who at the time of her birth-in 1S33-was professor at Miami university, Oxford, O., and subsequently, became president of the female college in the same town. At this college she became a student, and while there made the ac- quaintance of Benjamin Harrison, who was at that time studying at the Miami uni versity. The young couple became warmly attached to each other, and when Benja- min was twenty-in 1S53-they were mar ried Two children-Russell and Mamie s. were the result of this marriage.

And tho iccman tries to estimate how much

In the fall a FURNISHED beauty oversprcads the

And the "fellahs" wonder how they'll get

In the fall n mildcr music ripples from the

And the tourist sadly mourns his flabbergasted

In the fall the forest echoes with the laughter

And the Nancy Hanks gas meter gets right up

In the fall glad streams OF sweetness flow from
