The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-11-30

laid Immediately after death. Mrs. Davis
has been the constant vigil of the silent
form from the time the sad inevitable
came. She hardly leaves the room eX-
cept to take her short sleep at night.
Mrs. Davis is displaying wonderful
about her are hopeful that no different
result may ensue after the tension of
the strained occasion has slackened.
Major Davis, who is naturally strong
and vigorous old gentleman, bears this
blow at eighty-nine years with astonish-
ing fortitude, but the aged mother seems
more submissive to the grievous burden.
The elder Mrs. Davis is given all the
needful rest and attention that her
watchful friends can give and her mind
is kept as far as possible off the sad
fact that has rendered the entire house
hold one of bitterest grief
The remains will be placed in the cas-
ket early this morning. They will oc-
cupy place in the front parlor until
taken to the capitol at 10 o'clock.
The face of the late statesman bears
calm expression and does not denote
the extreme suffering through which he
passed. The features are very natural.
All day yesterday kilograms came in
at intervals though not as numerous as
they had been received for several days
past. Several hundred messages have
pSSu ISCSN6u altogether. MIS-. DdNIS
occupies much of her time perusing these
sympathetic communications and talking
Of the friends from whom they come. The
message that is sent from the humbIest
friend is received with just as much
interest and given the same considera-
ton by the stricken woman as that which
comes from the highest dignitary This
simple characteristic was one of the
predominating elements in the life of the
senator ana is equally manifested in that
Of his devoted wife.
CLUB WILL SHELTER SENATORS.
One of the callers at the Davis home
yesterday was Kenneth Clark, repre-
senting the Minnesota club. He requested,
in behalf of the club, the privilege Of
entertaining the committee of senators
who will arrive from Washington to-
morrow to attend the funeral as the
special senatorial representatives. The
request was readily granted
1t is the regret Of Mrs. Davis that the
venerable statesman from Alabama,
Senator Morgan, a staunch friend of
Senator Davis, is prevented by his eX-
IRENE years from being at the funeral
1t had been at first thought that he
could be present, but later communica-
lions indicate that his condition does
not warrant it. He is seventy-six years
Senator Davis and Senator Morgan were
very intimate friends.
TELEGRAMs ARE STILL COMING.
The degree of Senator Davis friendship
and popularity the world over and the

erous kilograms of sympathy received
