DR.. Mills had not returned when the
end came. The only person in the room
at the time was Hazen S. Pingree. Jr.,
who had been constantly at his fathers
bedside and had not removed his clothes
for four days. At II 80 he noticed an
apparent change in his fathers condition
and drawing closer soon observed that
the heart had ceased TO do its work
Death had come silently and without spe-
cial warning. The once vigorous and ag
gressive american passed away peAce-
full, and without Il word TO friend or
foe.
Upon the death of his father I'll. S.
Pingree, Jr., cabled at once to his moth
er and uncle, who We're about TO sail from
New York, not to do 50. The body will
be embalmed and sent to Detroit.
DIR. Mills, in speaking of the condi-
ton of his distinguished patient shortly
before his death, said: 1T seems too bad
that the serious nature of his ailment
was not discovered earlier. He ought
never to have been allowed to travel on
the continent. Mr.. Pingree is receiving
every care and is making a gallant fight,
but the liberation of the stomach is only

Business and Political Career.
Haze. $. Pingree was born at Dem
mark, Me, Aug. 30. 1910. He spent the
first fourteen years of his life on his
fathers farm. He then went to work
in a cotton factory at Saco, Me. He
afterward learned his trade as a shoe
cutter at a factory in Hopkinton, Mass.
When the Civil War broke out Mr.. Pin
gree enlisted in the First Massachusetts
Heavy Artillery. He served from Aug
l, 1862, till August, 1865. During 1864
he was for ave months a prisoner of war.
After the var he went to Detroit. He
worked at his trade in a shoe factory in
that pace until 1866, when, with ii.
Smith, he established a very small shoe
factory of his own. The partnership
was eminently successful and the factory
developed into the largest shoe manufac-
turing business in the West.
Mr.. Pingree was Mayor of Detroit four
times. serving in that capacity from 1889
to 1896. During the mayoralty he attain
ed prominence by his successful project
Of potato patches for the poor, and also
by his fights against street railway and
other combinations. He compelled the
Detroit street railways to reduce fares
to 3 cents.
He v'as elected Governor of Michigan
in 1896 and was reelected in 1898. At
the end of his term he retired to private
life
