DEATH OF MRS. BEECHER.
Famous Widow of The Distinguished
BROOKLYN Divine.

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, widow OF the
famous Brooklyn clergyman, died at STAN
ford. Conn, Monday morning. She was
born in 1912. in West sutton, Mass. She wa
the daughter OF DR.. Bullard She met Mr..
Becchcr first in 1880, when the latter was
student at Amherst college They were mar
ried in 1887, aud began housekeeping at
LHwrrnccvile, Ind. moving afterwards to
indianapolis. IT was at their home in the
latter city, IL is said, that Harriet Beecher
Stowe. the preachers sister, got the insprs-
tion which resulted in the production OF
"Uncle Toms Cabin
She was n graceful writer, and had always
intended to write a life OF ner husband from
the mass Of materials ne left when he died.
Mrs. Beecher came to stamford shortly be-
fore Thanksgiving on visit. A few days
lHter she fell in her room, cutting q cash In
her forehead. She fell a second time about
month Inter, fracturing her hip. For
time she seemed to improve and 1t was not
until recently that her physician abandoned
hope.
Since the death Of her husband, In March.
1887. Mrs. Beecher had lived rather un active
life Tor one OF her advanced years. She had
not attempted to keep up her social duties.
but with her charity work and literary labors
she mad been very busy woman.
In the last year Of Mr.. Beecher's life she
was always with him In his walks and drives
! hbout BtOokINH anu New lOrh. After ner
husbands death Mrs. Beecher established
herself in the Wateryiew flats, Brooklyn,
overlooking the East river and the harDor
from Columbia heights.
Mrs. Bcecher had 10 children. OF whom
only four are now liying--one daughter and
three sons. The daughter. who is the oldest
Of the four, is the wife Of Rev. Mr.. Scoyille.
A curious coincident is that Mrs Beecher
| died exactly ten years after her husband.
| His death occurred on March 8, 1887.
Mrs. Beecher died at the home Of her SOM
in-law, Rev. Samuel Scoville. She was un-
conscious for "a hours before her DEATH and
her end came peacefully. None OF her rela-
tivcs. except her daughters family and
niece. Miss BuIlard. were present

INCREASE OF TRADE.
The Gain Possesses the Elements of Sound
ness


II. q. Dun Il Co., says In their weekly re-
view of trade: 1t In u curious illustration Of
human nature, this continued discourage
ment. even while the increase Of productive
industries and OF legitimate business steadily
grows. No genuine or lasting Improvement
could come otherwise than slowly step 10y
step, after such n depression as the past four
years have witnessed, aud the most hopeful
feature Of the situation is that the gain is so
nearly devoid of elements which involve un-
soundness and probable reaction.
The money markets continue especially
favorable to Industrial recovery, and there
is no such speculative epidemic as to lick up
an excessive share OF available capital. The
annual statements OF wheat In farmers hands
ON March have not stimulated speculation.
Those commonly considered worthy Of at
tention indicate that farmers and com
mer"ial supplies. together, l9j0OO,0OO to
2Ot, OOO,OOO buehels. exceed the outside esti-
mate OF home demand 1870, ,OOJ. 900 bushels to
July ], by much more than the quantity
likely to to be wanted for export. In view OF
the continued outcO Of corn. amounting for
the past two weeks to G,sgl.Sss bushels.
against 1,b9l i7b bushels last year.
Corn is also a fraction lower. Tne specu-
lniion In wool continues and sales FOR the
