of Mrs. Gresham, and owing to the
depression and grief following the
death of her husband, the details of the

Left until late in the DAY. The present
purposes of The friends Of the family

at the station by Assistant Postmaster

friend of the family, who informed
him that the end had come.
Mrs. Gresham is broken in spirit and
body by the weight of her affection,
and her constant vigils up to the mo-
ment Of death. Her daughter Mrs.
Andrews and another relative, Mrs.
Captain Fuller, were with her con-
stantly all night.
Constant stres1n of Callers.
There was a constant stream Of call
ers at the door of the Arlington. A
knot of Grape hung from the door bell,
and across Lafayette square were to be
seen the flags of the White House,
Treasury and State, War and Navy de-
patrments half masted. Fronting the
same square and hardly a hundred
yards distant, q theatre was build
ing on the site of the historic mansion
where the life of James G.. Blaine had
ended, soon after his resignation from
the premiership Of the preceding ad-
mlnistration. The line OF callers who
drove or walked to the the Arlington,
included representatives Of all the ofh-
clal circles of Washington. The cabl-
net, the supreme court, the diplomatic
corps, congress and the army and navy.
Most OF the callers left their cards with
the attendants who stood at the door.

the presidential carriage at the door,
There was in the center of the group
photographers camera on a tripod TO-
cussed upon the carriage. No sooner
were the president and his wife seated
than the photographer put his
head under the green cloth, but his
designs were recognized, for both the
president and Mrs. Cleveland turned
their faces away. Many boxes Of flow
ers were sent to the hotel during the
morning. It was decided at noon that
