TELEGRAM THAT HURT.
New York, Aug. 1.-THE attention of
Health Officer Doty has been called to a
published statement that the ashes of
Col. Waring were unclaimed at Swim
burnes island, with the ashes of paupers
who had died of yellow fever Mr.. Doty
said:
1T is true that the ashes of Col. War
ing are in the same vault on Swinburne
island with the ashes of other yellow
fever victims After the remains of Col.
Waring were cremated I communicated
with Mrs. Waring and asked her what
of her husband. She replied that she
desired them kept at Swinburne island"
Mrs. Waring is said to be in Minnesota.
MAKES A STATEMENT.
Mrs Waring is a guest of her daughter,
Mrs. A. B. Ovitt, at Dellwood, White Bear
lake, and talked quite freely to the
G Hob e reporter last evening regarding
the pcstponement of the final interment
of her husbands remains.
1.-THE first intimation I had that Col.
Warnings remains were being neglected"
she said, "was through a telegram which
I received Thursday morning from a New
York newspaper. The telegram was quite
lengthy and asked me to authorize that
paper to start q collection for the pur-
pose of raising fund for the proper in
terment of Col. Warnings ashes. 1 was at
a less to understand the meaning of the
mornings Globe quoting Health officer
Doty.''
HAS Dr. Doty ever communicated with
you in regard to the remains?'' Mrs. War
ing was asked.
mo, he never has" replied Mrs. War
ing, emphatically "Dr. Doty was a
warm personal friend of my late husband,
but I never knew him personally. After
Col. Warnings death our family physi-
clan, Dr. Daniel Simpson, said every
thing might safely be left in DR.. Doty 5
hands and when later I was informed
by DR.. Simpson that the ashes were at
Swinburne island, that it was perfectly
SUITABLE PLACE FOR THEM
and that they might remain there until I
should decide upon a suitable place for
their final interment, 1 thought the mat
ter was settled temporarily. When the
discussion arose concerning some suita-
BILE memorial to be erected in memory of
my husband 1 personally was in hopes
that it would take the form of monu-
ment and intended to have the ashes
repose beneath it. l am confident this
would have been Col. Warnings wish.
However, the chair in Columbia college
and the 100000 endowment fund, of which
I receive the interest, was decided upon
instead.
Three weeks after my husbands 8
death I came to st. Paul 1 remained
here over two months and then went
South for a two months visit. Upon my
return I was called to New York by a
telegram from Mayor Strong, who de-
sired me to sign some papers in regard to
the endowment fund. While in New York
I saw DR.. Simpson, and it was the un-
derstanding that when I returned to New
York this fall my husbands remains
would be
FINALLY INFERRED.
ST remained in New York three weeks,
been ever since.
Last February I received a communi-
cation from the management of a Long
Island crematory, which has in connec-
tion with it what is termed a colun-
barium, where repose the ashes of many
famous men. Col. IngersoHs ashes are
| there, l believe. The management asked
that my husbands ashes also repose
| there, and I Immediately wrote to DIR.
| Doty in regard to it, but have never re-
! ceiVed an answer
! Mrs. Waring was asked If she would
now wait until fall to have her hus-
bands ashes inferred.
mo, shall not she answered. GAS
soon as I had read the New York tele-
gram in the Clio b e 1 wired instruc-
tions to my husbands private secretary
and the executor of his will, Mr. Everitt
| Hill, to take steps al once concerning
| the interment of the ashes in the colum
barium at Long Island. I have also
| NOTIFIED DIR. DOTY
and DR.. Simpson that they must set me
right with the world and clear me OF
this cruel charge of neglect"
! Mrs. Waring will go to New York city
