SECRETARY FOSTER struck the right moi

when, in speaking of the immigration COM
mission, he said: My aim in appointing the
commission and in drafting the suggestions
recently was not to block emigration, but
to get the best class of immigrants" We
cannot afford to shut out all immigration
indiscrimfnately, but neither can we afford
to admit immigrants without insisting upon
some selective supervision.

ONE thing at least is certain about the
Presidential election-the supply will far
and away exceed the demand. That is, the
supply of candidates will exceed the de-
mand of the Office. OF course the converse
is equally true, and the demands of the
office seekers will be woefully disappointed
by the limited supply.

DEATHS HERE AND ELSEWHERE.
Captain Timothy Meaher.

Captain Timothy Meaher, the steamboat
man, who died Thursday. aged 70 years. was for
many years identified with business on the Ala
bama and Tombigbee rivers. He was noted as the
importer Of the last cargo Of slaves brought to the
United States. This was in the spring of 1861. He
chartered the schooner Cotilde, which brought 16o
negroes and managed to spirit them into cane
brake 100 miles up the stream. The news of the
importation soon got abroad and Meaher was ar
rested and tried, but proved that he had made
every trip on bis boat. the Toney, and the infer
,ence was that he had not time to receive the
groes and personally superintend the hiding Of
them. He was discharged. If convicted he would
have suffered the death penalty. The 30 negroes
that fell to Meaher's share settled in suburb of
Mobile, where, being freed shortly after their
rival. they and their descendants have since
manned. They have never associated with other
negroes but partially civilized. still their
native language. and are ruled by queen of their
own choosing: They enjoy good reputation for
industry and honesty. and their colony is one Of
the curfosities viewed by sightseers.

per cent on a valuation OF $250, ,000, 900, while
Pittsburg will levy only II to 13 mills on the

SIS percapita, while the tax in Chicago will
be less than IS per head. THE DISPATCH
asks If Pittsburg ought not in its present
condition to administer its government as
economically as Chicago does when the lat

THE CAUSE OF HER DEATH.

Standpoint

The History of Her Case from Medical
Standpoint
Mrs. Harrison's illness Is the outcome of
an attack OF la grippe during the winter of
lS9O-9i. While Mt Cape May, in the sum-
mer of 1891, she contracted a cold which
caused q cough lasting the entire summer.
During the winter she was well enough to
attend to the exciting social duties of the
White House, but in January, 1892, the
cough, which had never entirely left her,
commenced to again trouble her consider
ably.
In the following March she hal second
attack of la grippe, followed by catarrhal
pneumonia. The coughing spells then in
creased in severity until they were accom-
panied by bloody expectorations. and about
the first Of May she suffered from
hemorrhage of the lungs. which though
not severe, caused great prostration.
From this time until July 8, the date Of her
removal to Loon Lake, the patient did not
undergo much change
After her arrival at Loon Lake she coin
menced TO improve, but the improvement
was of short duration, and Rn examination
made September l showed that the upper

able 10 continue drives until September Z,
w hen she was stricken with an attack of
sub-acute pleurisy accompanied by fusion
fibro-serous fluid, completely filing the
cavity on right side, necessitating tapping
three times. During the complication
consultation was held by DR.. Gardner, DIR.
Doughty and DIR. Truden. resulting in the
issuance of bulletin, Septem Der "a, and
announcing that Mrs. Harrison wus
afflicted with pleurisy and nervous pros
tration and that the result was uncertain
At the time of Mrs. Harrson's removal
10 Washington on September %, her right
lung was entirely consolidated. The dis
ease progressed steadily, resisting ali treat
n ent, until eventually her left lung became
involved sud the condition Of the patient
became hopeless. The case was compli-
Gated from the first by extreme nervous
prostrstion, which persistently resisted
every remedy. Certainly nothing within
the knowledge of the medical profession
that could possibly tend TO alleviate her
sufferings, or lead to her cure, was left un-
tried, but to no avail.

! MIR. and Mrs. Harrison began domestic
responsibilities In rooms in an lndlanapo-
lis boarding house in the summer of 1854.
Mrs. Harrison paid visit to her parents
and there on August 18th. 1854, Russell
Morrison, the elder child was born. After
this event the proud husband rented a
small house In Indianapolis and began life
in earnest, the faithful and industrious
wife doing her own house work In cot
tage OF three rooms.
Steady progress in fame, practice and
pecnniary reward found Mrs. Harrison
presiding over larger and more porten-
tlous house ana in the course OF two years
her second and last child, Mary Scott Har-
rlson, was bern. The couple steadily grew
in the estimation of their neighbors and
MIR. Harrison achieved fame in politics.
In 1881 General Harrison entered the
United States senate and Mrs. Harrison
became membe of the distinguished cir
Gle of the wives of senators In Washington
and during her residence of six years she
extended her sphere of usefulness.
When the family came to the White
House the first break in the circle was
made by the death OF Mrs. Russell Lloyd,
Mrs. Hsrrison's sister. Before Mrs. Har-
rison was taken down with grip. which
intimately resultas fatally, she nursed all
the rest of the family, even to the little
grandchildren. Her late illness really
began on April g. after brilliant reception
in the White House, and few friends have
seen her since
Mrs. Harrison was distinctlvely g do
mestic woman. Her home and family were
always first in her thong hts. 1t is said of
her that she was never idle, occupying ner
spare moments with embroidery, water
coloring and china decoration, and devot-
ing considerable time 20 charities, in which
she was always greatly interested. Her
loyalty to old friends never wavered.
In appearance Mrs. Harrison was a type
of matronly feature and figure. She
showed generosity in her nature and 10
her mind natures equal benehcence. A
lavish growth of hair, silvered with the
threads of q little over a half century of
life and falling in curly waves over q well
shaped head. ending in graceful coils,
regular feature and dark expressive eyes
formed a picture of ripened womanhood.
She had voice softened by the INSTINCT of
gentle nature, gift of conversation,
which while animated was thoughtful.
While she shrank from notoriety the calls
of society with her were second in import
ance to her duties of wife, mother and
daughter, and it was in q domestic sphere
where she shone with brightest light.
