The Wife OF the Eminent New Yorker
Breathes Her Last.
New YORK, Msy7.-Mrs. Elise Hege-
man Depew, wife of Chauncey M.
Depew, died at her residence in this
city at 1890 this afternoon.
Although Mrs. Depew was known to
be seriously IN this sudden termination
Of her illness was not expected by her
family and those who were most inti-
mately connected with her. Her condi-
tion showed no material change Satur-
day and early this morning the turn for
the worse came.
Mr.. Depew was completely prostrated
and has shut himself up against all
callers to-day. During the afternoon
aud evening friends of the family call
ed, leaving cards and expressing SYM
pathy with the family.
Mrs. Depew was descended from one
Of the oldest New York families. Her
father was the late William Hegeman,
a we'll known dealer In drugs who traced
his ancestors back TO the earliest Dutch
settlers In New York. Her mother was
a Miss Niven, daughter Of Col. Niven,
the once distinguished New York attor-
ney, who. himself, sprang from an old
revolutionary family.
The final arrangements has not yet
been made for the funeral, but il is
probable that it will be held from st.
Bartholomew Episcopal Church, OF
which organization Mrs. Depew was
member

CHICAGO, May THE rule TO close
the gates Of the Worlds Fair Sunday
was rigidly enforced to-day, AT least
so tar as the ticket purchasing public
was concerned. The fortunate
hundreds who hold passes were ad-
mitted, however, ana allowed to wan
der about the grounds ut their will.
1t was a beautiful day and thousand Of
workmen. some of them with families
went to the fair grounds under the
apprehension that the gates were
to be opened. And when these
toiers were turned away they left
in anything but good humor.
1t was highly aggravating TO them 10
see the favored hundreds, even thous-
auds enter the grounds on passes while
they who worked all week were ex.
cluded.
THE VALIDITY OF THE LAW
OF Congress closing the gates is 10 be
tested In the courts this week. Charles
w. Clingman, who is n stockholder In
the fair, has served notice on Secretary
Edmonds that he will appeal TO the
courts to open the fair on Sunday.
In his letter he, In the interest OF the
working people, aud as representa-
tive OF other stockholders, demanded
that the people be admitted Sunday,
the same as every other day In the
week. 81 demand this" continues he,
mot only for my interest financially as
a stockholder, but more especially for
the people who could not see the ex-
position on any other day except Sun
day. Having made this demand on you
In writing, have placed the matter In
the hands OF my attorney. who Will
commence legal proceedings at once
against the exposition IL my demands
are not complied with"

a reporter asked him, w be offended

porter remarked.

we would be placed, although nearly all

plan is not the proper one. and that u
is better to let matters rest as they ara

SING SING, n. Y, May 7.-Carlyle
Harris has said farewell to parents and
friends and all that is dear to him on
earth, and he now awaits the messenger
of death. The last act in the strange
drama Of his life approaches, and while
he shows nervous agitation and full ap-
probation of the terrible thing that Is
to come to him on the morrow, no signs
of breaking down are visible. He ad-
heres to his oft-repeated declaration of
innocence, and he has spent the best
part of his last day on earth not In COM
munion with spiritual advisers prepar-
ing for the great hereafter, but with
pen, ink and paper, reviewing the past
and seeking to place himself right with
the world he leaves. After his death his
words will be spread broadcast through
out the land in his last attempt to
establish his innocence in spite Of the
verdict OF the courts and jury.
He saw Chaplain Wiles, of the prison,
for few moments and devoted hours to
his screed for publication. He was a
trine more nervous than usual to-day.
The strain is telling upon him.
DR.. Irvine, the prison physician, saw
him twice to-day and said that while
Harris showed little more nervous
ness than usual, he could discover no
signs of breaking down.
Harris appetite has been light ever
since he has been in Sing Sing and he
ate very little to-day.
MRS. HARRIS
remained at her boarding house to-day,
and did not go to the prison. She took
her last farewell Of her boy yesterday
afternoon. The scene was one Of the
saddest that has ever been witnessed
within the grim walls. The mother,
who, by her devotion, has fought off
death for a year, and whose efforts have
aroused the sympathy Of nation, not
because they were wisely directed,
but because they came from q
mothers love; this mother, whose
courage has never halted, and
whose belief in the innocence OF her
son has never faltered, broke down in
anguish before his cell door and wept.
She prayed with her boy that the hor-
rible doom might be averted, and while
the guards, hardened as they are to
human suffering, turned away with
moistened eyes, the mother and son
kissed and parted for the last time.
This afternoon shortly after o'clock
Charles l.. Harris, the father, accom-
panied by young Allan, went to the
prison, and the father and son met for
the first time in years.
The last farewells to relatives having
been said, Carlyle Harris devoted his
time to writing a review of the chief
events of his life, and OF what has been
done by the courts, the judges and gov
ernor in his case.
Mrs. Harris is preparing statement
for the public which will be given out
after that of her condemned son.
All of the preparations have been
made for tomorrow. The electrocu-
tlon will take place at about noonS
State Electrician Davis has tested the
dynamo and the apparatus and found
that everything is in order.
