He Is Fatally Burned IN n Brave Attempt
to Save His Mothers Life.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 20.-on a cot
in the Hanncman Hospital a fve.ycar-
old child lies dying tonight from
burns received in q bravo but
futile attempt to save his
mother from the same terrible
form OF death. The child's mother
Mrs. Coates, was cleaning a skirt with
benztne in her husbands dyeing
establishment, when 1t took fire. Her
tive.year-old boy was playing about the
room, and when he saw his mother
wrapped in fire he rushed to her and
tried to beat out the flames with his
little hands.
The child's puny efforts were useless
and his clothing also caught fire. The
screams ot, mother and child brought
Mrs. Emma Clymer to their assistance,
but her efforts to extinguish the flames
were without avail.
Finally several men rushed into the
house and succeeded in smothering tho
flames consuming the three persons,
but the fire extended and destroyed the
rear portion Of the house.
Mrs. Coates, the child, and Mrs.
Clymer were taken to the hospital,
where the former died from her in
jurles and her son is not exp ected to
live. Mrs. Clymer was badly burned
about the face and hands.

It is fitting that the people Of Ohio,
whom he served long and faithfully,
should take special note OF the going
out OF this great life, and make manifest
the ahectionate regard in which he was

His private life was conspicuous for
its purity, gentleness and benevoleuce,
His public services were long and sim
gularly distinguished. In his youth he
held an important official position in
the chief city OF the state. He was
among the first OF Ohio's sons to offer
his services to the cause OF the union in
the late war In battle he was brave,

his Country's flag were silent but clio.

patriotism and sacrifice. From major
OF the Twenty.third Ohio infantry he
reached the high rank OF major.gener-
al olvolunteers, commanding division,
beloved by his comrades and respected
by all. While in tho field he was elected
to the national house Of representatives,
but his sense OF duty impelled him to
decline to serve in congress while the
country was imperillel. Subsequently
he. performed honorable services in
that body. For two successive terms
he was elected governor OF Ohio, and
after period OF retirement he was
again chosen the chief executive OF his
state. Then the nation called him to
the Presidency, and he performed the
duties Of that high Office with diguity
and faithlulness and ability.
From the completion OF his term as
President OF tho United States until his
death he was an exemplificatiou OF the
noblest qualities OF American citizen.

their manner OF living. Atthe close IN
