Cause of Admiral Earragut's Death.

his wife We're coming from California
when Il woman occupying il seat in

window. Admiral Farra@ut was ill
and the strong draught of wind which
blew directly upon him chilled him.
Mrs. Farragut asked the woman cour-
teously if she would not kindly close
the window. as it was annoying to her
husband. The woman snapped out:
NO. | won't close the window.

Admiral Farragut thus caught severe

fifty inhabitants have been unable for
weeks past to communicate with the main
land, end who were believed to have been
in danger of dying of starvation
The life boat on its way to Innistrahull
was buffeted by enormous seas. which filed
the boat and necessitated flashing the oars
men to their seats. The life boats crew
found the people of Innistrahull in sore
straits They had been compelled to use
the furniture and woodwork Of their houses
for fuel. So far provisions were con-
cerned, there was only a handful of puta-
toes left on the island.
Happily, the inhabitants, with one ex-
Ception. had managed to sustain life until
the arrival of the life boat. which brought
small supply of food for the suffering
people.
As 1T was, one man died OF starvation
and number of others were found to
be suffering severely from lack of food
The crew of the life boat did their utmost

that the business sessions of the conven-

THE NEW SENATOR
Takes the Oath md IL Posted on the
Peckham Case.

Anselum j. McLaurin, the new Senator
from Mississippi appeared today In the
Senate and took the oath of Office The
ceremony was brief and simple. Escorted
by Senator George and Representa- ives
Kyle and Catchings. the new Senator
entered the chamber promptly at noon. and
Immediately after the reading Of the journal
Mr.. George made a brief speech in his
usually eloquent style. and presented the
credentials OF the new Senator. which We're
handed to the desk and read. They were very
gorgeous and were startlingly like q certifi-
cate in a mining company or a diploma
of a newly graduated physician. They GER
tilted to the usual facts Of Mr.. McLaurin s
age, place Of residence, and other senatorial
qualifications. and were sufficient to cause
the Vice President to call Mr.. McLaurin
to the bar of the Senate.
The new Senator Is q rather slight man of
medium height, with a smooth face and a
quiet manner. He has a curious resem-
blance to Secretary Carlisle. especially from
the line of the eyes upward, his forehead
being remarkably like that of the financial
minister Of the government. He took the
oath Of office without any embarrassment,
and signed the Official book with the aid
or pair Of steel-bowed spectacles. H-- N
Then Capt. BaSsett led the new Senator
still walking arm in arm with Mr. George,

democratic side. formerly occupied by Mr.
Martin of Kansas, who has moved TO the
back row to the seat vacated by Mr. Allen

tors coming eagerly but politely forward
to meet their new colleague. Mr.. Hill was
early on the ground and bowed and shook
hands in an exceptionally pleasant style.
MIR. Faulkner. who is doing his best to or
set the votes that Mr.. Hill has obtained
against Peckham by votes for that gentle
man, followed soon after. but as Senator
George was busy furnishing himself With :.

obliged to introduce himself
