MRS. BENJAMIN HARRISON.

when informed that Mrs. Harrison's con- dition showed no unexpected change re- paired to the dining room.
 After luncheon, the President returned to the bedside of his wife, from which he has been absent the last few days only long enough to obtain absolutely needed rest.
 The other members of the family went on to the piazza at the south side of the house for a breath of fresh air.
 When tEus refreshed, the sad vigil which they have so long maintained was resumed.
 During the morning there were rather more than the usual number of callers, who left their cards merely after receiv- iEg the answers to their inquiries. Among them were many of the Diplo- matic Corps, who have just returned to Washington from Chicago. The visit by Baron Fava, Italian Min ister, last Tuesday evening inquiring of Mrs. Harrison's condition in obedience to instructions from the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, has already been noted, but it transpires that 8 week ago last Saturday Hon. Mir. Herbert, l British Charge d'Afaires, presented the inquiries of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, | to which formal response was made last week through the State Depart ment. A few of the callers, including Attor- ney- General Miller, visited the office DOT | tion of the building and had brief inter views with Private Secretary Halford. At o'clock Dr. Gardner paid a third visit to the White House. He remained but 8 few minutes, and as he left gave to crowd of newspaper men the condition l of Mrs. Harrison at that hour. ''She is gradually growing weaker, slipping away"
 "What are the probabilitiesF'
 ''She is likely to pass away at any moment, and she may live five or six | hours yet"
 ''Is she conscioUs?" Occasionally. She passes most of the time in heavy sleep. but arouses once in | a while, when we moisten her lips with a | stimulant."
 "Does she come out of the sleep naturally, or is it the result of efforts by l those about3'
 "She arouses naturally, and is con | scious. There is no coma in her condi- tion. In cases of this kind, the patient | generally dies of asthenia, diminution of l the vital forces"
 l About o'clock Private Secretary Hal | ford said that Dr. Gardner had stated | that Mrs. Harrison might live until l o'clock.
 Shortly afterwards advices were re-
 ceived by wire at the White House that g
 story had originated in the West that Mrs. Harrison was dead. It gradually | worked it's way East and in a short time l several telegrams of coincidence were re-
 ceived. MT. Montgomery, in charge of
 the telegraph department, immediately | answered the messages to the effect that there was no truth in the story and its
 circulation was premature. | At o'clock 8 message was received
 from John N. Scott, Mrs. Harrison'i
 brother, stating that he would leave Port
 Townsend, Washington, at once. The family has been endsRvoring to reach Mr. Scott, who is Mrs. Hrrrison's only
 brother, since Saturday, but had been unable to locate him. He had been ab- \ sSrt from home sn business. It will bs

impossible for him to reach here before Friday or Saturday.
 The President passed the entire day at the bedside of his wife. He did not en- ter the office portion of the building. In the morning, during the two hours when it seemed death was imminent, he stood over the bedside holding the hand of his stricken partner, and breath by breath they fought the invader back together, and won few more hours of earthly Companionship.
 The result of the long strain upon the President is matter of serious concern to his friends, but 1t is believed that he will be able to endure it with the same confidence and trust that has made him such a consoler to others in hours of their deepest distress.
 A few minutes before 8 o'clock Br. Gardner made his fifth visit of the day to the White House, and as that had been the probable hour fixed by him when 8 change would occur, his reappearanc e was anxfously awaited by the newspaper men gathered about the door.
 In the meanwhile it was learned for the third time in the course of the day, that Mrs. Harrison was overcome by what it seemed must be fatal nervous attack. Most of the family were at the supper table and were summoned thence to the sick room. The patient, however, again rallied, and entered upon the sleep that follows these incidents of the progress of the case.
 At 11:30 o'clock Dr. Gardner told Nr. Halford that if Mrs. Harrison passed the midnight hour alive she might live until o'clock in the morning. The patients respiration was then scant 16 to the minute. Until it decreased to 10 min ute, Dr. Gardner said, there was no iln mediate danger of collapse. In the course of the disease, he said, Mrs. Harrison's respiration had been as high as 45 or 50 8 minute for brief inter vals. At that time small quan titles of phlegm had formed in the throat but the air made it's way through with less difficulty than may be imagined.

 WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The long vigil is over and Mrs. Harrison is numbered with the dead. She passed away at 1:4O this morning. The President was com. pletely overcome.
 She sank slowly from midnight, the change in the last two hours being more marked than at any time.
 Her respiration, just before the end, had fallen to eight 8 minute, and the awakenings from the lethargic sleeps were at greater intervals and for briefer periods.
 The President had been with her for hours.
 All the members Of the family were present at the bedside when the end came.
 ShorCly before noon Dr. Gardner reached the house and remained at the bedside of the patient until noon.
 As he left, he stated that it seemed to him impossible that Mrs. Harrison could survive the day, and this state ment was communicated to the members of the Cabinet who are not now on their way to Washington-Messrs. J. w. Eos ter, Charles Foster and Rusk.
 The first named is in Indianapolis, the second in Chicago, and the last in Wis consln.

WHITE HOUSE DEATHS.
Rut Two Presidsnts' Wives Have Passed
 Away There.

A escoO~@
 Away There.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Mrs. Harrison is the second Presidents wife who has died in the White House. And it is a strange coincidence that most of the deaths that have occurred within it's walls were of persons connected more or less remotely, personally or politically, with the family of President Harrison.
 The first death was that of President William Henry Harrison, which oc- cured on the morning of April 4, 1841, just one month after his inauguration. The President, on that occasion, went through the ceremonies bareheaded in the midst of driving storm. On April he was compelled to take to his bed and send for physician. But the dis ease resisted all treatment, and at l2:3O o'clock on the morning of April 4 the Presid ent breathed his last.
 Mrs. Letitia Tyler, first wife of Presi- dent Tyler, who was elected Vice. Presi- dent on the ticket with Gen. Harrison, and succeeded him as Chief Executive, died in the White House on the 10th of September the next year, 1S42.
 During her brief stay ill the Executive Mansion, Mrs. Tyler was unable to dis charge the duties of hostess, her place DOlh5 OohhOA AloO OJ HAAo' AsOOSAO AoAJ her sons wife, and later by Mrs. Semple, her daughter. Her funeral sermon was preached by Dr. Hawley and her body laid to rest in the family burying ground, New Kent county, Va.
 The third death was that of President Zachary Taylor, who entered the White House March 4, 1849 He lived only until July 9, 1S50 His death was the result of exposure on the 4th of July just pray ious, when he took part in the dedication of Washington's monument. The weather WAS exceedingly hot and the President drank freely of ice water and partook of a large quantity of fruit.
 Immediately upon his return to the White House he was seized with an in disposition from which he never recovered, but which was not believed to be of a fatal or even serious nature on the morning of his death.
 Willie Lincoln, second son of President Lincoln, died in the White House in Feb ruary, 1862, when Tad" the favorite son of the martyred President, lay seli- ously ill
 Mir Lincoln said that the blow was the saddest experience of his life and the hardest to bear. Willie was 12 years old when he died.
 Frederick F. Dent, father of Mrs. U. $. Grant, who was member of the fam fly from the time Gen. Grant entered the White House, died there on Decem- Der 15, 1873.

SKETCH OF MRS. HARRISON.
A Model Wife and H1Other-- Her Life fl
 the White House.

Model Wife and Mother Her Life in
 the White House.
 Carrie L. Harrison was the daughter of the Rev. John w. Scott, who at the time of her birth-in 1833-was professor at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, and subsequently became president of the female college in the same town. At this college she became a student, and while there made the acquaintance of Benjamin Harrison, who subsequently, became Presi- dent. He was at that time studying at the Miami University.
 The young couple became warmly att tached to each other, and when Benja- min was 20-in 1S53-they were married. Two children-Russell and Mamie s. were the result of this marriage. Russo Il in time married & daughter of Senator Saunders, and became prominent in the politics of Montana Territory. Mamie married Mir. Mckee, tradesman in an Indianapolis boot and shoe house, and had two hildren-Benjamin Harrson Il Mckee and Mary LrdSe Mckee. Russell also had one dauguter-Martisser.
 As wife and mother Mrs. Harrison was worthy of all praise. During her husbands early troubles she helped him in many ways, and her wise counsel was
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-10-25

often of great service to him. She reared and educated her children thoroughly and sensibly and made their home always at- tractive to them.
 She was also skilful housekeeper, and few women were more adept in the art of domestic economy.
 Besides these admirable qualities, how ever, she had many others. She was an interesting and ready conversationalist and became famous for her bon mots and repartees. She was 8 studious reader, but not of modern novels, the books which she preferred being of a graver, more thoughtful character.
 To do good works was her delight, and she was for many years one of the mana gers of the Indianapolis Orphan Asylum.
 Very pretty in her youth, Mrs. Harri' son retained to the last almost all of her attractiveness. Her features were regu- lar, her eyes bright and dark, and heI hair dark brown and abundant. Els. pecially beautiful were her hands, which were models for their shape and white ness.
 Mrs. Harrison lived so long in Wash. ington, and her family were so much there as actual residents, that she was practically as much at home there as in Indianapolis
 In all the honors that came to her bus. band she remained just the same consist ent, helpful woman that she was the first day they were married.
 In the years of her absence from Wash ington her father, Dr. Scott, resided there with his daughter, Mrs. Russell F. Lord, who died nearly two years ago. Dr. Scott was for many years 8 clerk in the Pension Office, and resigned his position when his son-ln-law became President. Their modest home was the rendezvous of all the Harrisons when they came to Washington, and when the family moved into the White House Dr. Scott | and Mrs. Lord accompanied them.

The Venom of Snakes.

AS to the venom of serpents, no dis
tinct chemical principle has as yet been
detected in it, though such there must
be, seeing that the effect of the saliva of
different poisonous snakes is different
the blood coagulating after a fatal cobra
bite, though not after that of a rattle
snake or Il viper. 1t has also been ascer-
tanned that if the blood of a poisoned
animal be injected into a healthy one
the latter will be poisoned in the same
way as if it had itself been bitten, al
though its flesh may be eaten with inn
punity.
1t is a mistake, however, to suppose
that a snakes poison can have no effect
unless actually mixed with the blood.
1t will act after being absorbed through
such delicate skin as that which lines
our lips, though its action when thus
received is less powerful.-Qusrterly
