ers, the Laurada and Bermuda to the
Cuban patriots for the transportation
of arms, ammunition and men to
Cuba. Some Of the largest expe-
ditions that touched the shores of Cuba
We're shipped OH these vessels, and
their departure was due in a great
measure to the skillful manipulation of
the steamers by Captain Hart. Captain

not yet decided whether they will ap.

IL Deeu uuCOHsClOus
At the deathbed were gathered the
family Of Rev. Samuel Scoville, in
Guiding the clergyman, his wife. who
is daughter of Mrs. Beecher, and
Mrs. Scoville's two children. a daugh.
ter and son, and Mrs. Bull.e d of Massa.
chusetts, niece Of Mrs. Beecher.
No woman was ever more devoted to her
husband and his memory than was the
wife of Henry Ward Beecher, whose death
after several years Of widowhood Is now
announced. She was the daughter Of DIR.
Artemus Bullard of West Sutton Mass.
She was born Aug. %, 1912, and was
christened Eunice White. 1t was when
she was at school ut Hadley, Mass, and
Henry Ward Beecher was student at
Amherst that they met and plighted their
troth, Jan. 2, 1881. Both were very
young, and when the boyish student made
known his desire to marry DR.. Bullard' =
daughter that worthy was angry and his
wife was grieved. why, you are q
couple of babies" said the doctor. you
don't know your own minds yet and won't
for some years to come"
DIR. Bullard relented, however, after
time but 1t was not until Aug. 3, 1885,, :,
shortly after Mr. Beecher had begun his
first pastorate at Lawrenceburg, Ind,
that they were welded. Their first years
Of married life were not years of financial
plenty, for the salary then received by Mr..
Beecher was but $500 year But they
were happy days to Mrs. Beecher, for she
loved her husband and her .hOme. Chill
dren came to them as time passed until
they had ten, and Mrs. Beecher's life was
IL n<~fo ,,~I
patton.
From Lawrenceburg they removed to
indianapolis ard from there to Brooklyn,
where he became the famous pastor Of the
famous Plymouth church and where she
became his secretary. She had met with a
serious accident that resulted in partial
paralysis of one side, and from which she
never recovered She could not even read
at first, but she could write, and it oc-
Cured to her that she could be of service
to Mr. Beecher in answering his letters.
So he bought two desks, just alike, which
were placed back to back, at one of which
he sat when engaded in writing sermons
or at literary work, while she sat at the
other. When she had sufficiently recov-
cred to be able to oversee the household
affairs again, she proposed to give up her
secretaryship, but her preacher husband
would not have it 80, and she continued
to assist him by attending to his CORE
spondence up to the time of his death.
During the dark days of the Tilton
scandal her faith in Beecher never fal-
tered. After he died she wrote great
deal for the press. Having done consid-
erable literary work during his lifetime,
she had acquired Il clear, direct, unpre-
tentious style that won readers easily.
Her most interesting work was "Mr
Beecher as Knew Him." which ran as 9
