SCENE AT THE DEATHBED.
His Wife Held His Hand to the Last-Pa-
thetic Incident.

thetic Incident.
None of General Harrison's children
were present at his death, not even
Eliza beth. the little daughter. who had
been taken from the sick room by heI
I.urse before the end came. Mrs. Har-
risOn kneeled at the right hand side
of the bed, her husbands right hand
eraSped in hers, while DR.. Jameson
held the left hand of the dying man,
counting the feeble pulse-beatS. In a
few moments after the friends had
been summoned to the room the end
came, Dr.. Jameson announcing the
sad fact. The great silence that fell
on the sOrrowing watchers by the bed
side was broken by the voice of DIR.

consolation for the bereaved wife and
family. which mingled with the sobs
of the mOurners.
One of the most pathetic incidents
of tSe whole illness of the general oc-
cuf--N1 Tuesday, before he became un-
conscious. The generals little Eliza
beth was brought into the sick room
for n few moments to see her father
and offered him small apple pic
which she herself had made. General
Harrison smiled his recognition of the
child and her gift, but the effort to

nothing more to express his apprecia-
ton. Yesterday all efforts to arouse
the slowly dying man to consciousness
failed and he died without a word of
recognition to any of the loved ones
who surrounded him.
General Lew Wallace almost a life
time friend of ex-President Harrison.
said: Il heard last night that General
Harrison's illness was likely to prove
fatal. something | had not dreamed of,
and the news was like n blow over my
heart. Probably there is not one in
Indianapolis today whose memory of
him goes farther back than mine: and
sitting now and thinking of him | re-
view the good relation that existed be-
tween us, and it is apparent to me
that his friendship is one of my prfdes
of life.
But why talk of him selfshly? The
loss is not merely to his stricken wife
and family, nor TO his friends, sorrow
as they may-it is to the nation. the
greatest on the earth. Ten days ago
benjamin Harrison was the foremost
man in America. l make no exception.

And of these qualities the people knew.

brought him there was no mixture of
