GEN. BENJAMIN F. HARRISON.

iittle daughter, Elizabeth. stood ST.
lently holding to her mothers hand
and looking from the face of her moth
er to the pallid countenance of her dy-
ing father. Pneumonia was the cause
of his death.
Sorrow in Indianapolis,
News of the death spread quickly
through the city and several of the
more intimate friends at once hur-
ried to the residence to offer services,
which, however, were not needed.
The word was flashed from all the
bulletins Of all the newspapers and
thus communicated to the people on
their way home in the evening. The
announcement produced the greatest
sorrow, nearly everyone having nur-
tured the hope that Gen. Harrison
would recover. Within a few mo-
ments the flags on all the public
buildings and most of the downtown
business blocks were hoisted at half
mast and other outward manifesto
lions of mourning were made.
His Children Absent.
None of Gen. Harrison's children
was present at his death. Neither
Col. Russell Harrison nor Mrs. Mckee
had reached the city, although both
were hurrying on their way to the
bedside of their dying parent as fast
as steam would bear them. Eliza
beth. the little daughter, had .een
taken from the sick room by her
hof0 h4
The group at the bedside included
Mrs. Harrison, w. H. H. Miller. Sam
uel Miller. his son: Rev. NJ. L. Haines,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church. which Gen. Harrison had at
tended for so many years; Secretary
Tibbett, Drs. Jameson and Dorsey,
Col. Dan Ransdell. sergeant-at-arms
of the United States senate and q
close personal friend of the dead
ex-president; Clifford Arrick and the
two nurses who have been in con-
slant attendance at the bedside. Gen.
Harrison's two sisters and, an aunt
were also present. Mrs. Harrison
kneeled at the right-hand side of the
bed, her husbands right hand grasped
in hers. while DR.. jameson held the
left hand of the dying man, count
ing the feeble pulse-beats. In few
moments after the friends had been
summoned to the room the end came,
DIR. Jameson announcing the sad fact.
| Gen. Harrison's Wealth.
Gen. Harrison's wealth is variously
estimated. public opinion rating it as
high as half million dollars. Those
who are best informed about the e.-
presidents affairs. however. say he
was worth about $25O,OOO or $500, 900.
At the time he was elected president
he was reputed to have accumulated
a fortune of $125,0O0 from his law
practice. and this has been doubled
Mt least since that time. OF late his
practice, owing to his great reputa-
tion as constitutional lawyer, was
very lucrative. His fee in the vene-
zuelan boundary dispute. in which he
| represented the South American re-.
public. was $1O0.000.-

Labor Trouble In London.

London, March 24.-The Speaker says
there are unmistakable signs OF more
trouble between the masters and the
operatives in the cotton trade. A period
of activity has been followed by a reac-
ton accelerated by the high prices Of raw
cotton and other materials, poor de-
mand from India and an almost complete
stoppage of buying from China. The
Lancashire spinners and weavers have
held out longer than their rivals in the
United States or on the continent, but
the rapid closing down of the mills shows
their turn is coming, and as the Ameri-
can crop is likely to be insufficient even
for the reduced consumption, there is not
much prospect of low level quotations for
raw cotton to invigorate the demand for
yarns and cloth. II some agreement
whereby wages may be adjusted accord
ing to the state of trade is not soon con-
cluded declining profits will force the
masters to reduce wages.

is the only cure for Poison Oak, Poison
Ivy, and all noxious plants. 1t is COM
posed exclusively of roots and herbs. Now
is the time to get the poison out of your
system, as delay makes your condition
worse. Don't experiment longer with
salves, washes and soaps-they never cure.
Mr.. 5. NJ. Marshall bookkeeper of the Atlanta
lGa.) Gas Light Co., was poisoned with Poison
Oak. He took Sulphur, Arsenic and various
other drugs, and applied externally numerous
lotions and salves with no benefit. At times the
swelling and Inflammation was so severe he was
almost blind. For eight years the poison would
break out every season. His condition was much
improved after taking one bottle 81 S. s. s, and
all evidences of the disease disappeared.
People are often poisoned without
knowing when or how. Explain your case
fully to our physicians, and they will
cheerfully give such information and ad-
vice as you require, without charge, and
we will send at the same time an interest
ing book on Blood and Skin Diseases.

TRAIN OF OIL CARS IBLATE
SET A SMALL TOWN AFIRE
Moving Train Broke In Two and tho
Two Sections Came Together and OIL
Exploded Stream Of Blazing OIL Run
Into New Jersey Town.

New York. March 25.--A river Of
flaming oil swept down upon the little
village of Glengarden, N. j.. while it's
inhabitants were alseep Sunday morn
ing and reduced IL buildings, stores
and residences to ashes. The confiagra-
ton was extraordinary in character
and in it's origin.
The village is in valley along the
line of the Jersey Central railroad. An
immense freight train was coming east
at $50 a. m. 1t was composed of a
string of coal cars and 18 tank cars
High above the village the track of the
railroad run along the side of noun
tain. They descend as they approach
the village, but even at the station are
considerably above the main street,
which runs up to the depot at a steep
incline
A few miles west of the village, while
coming down the incline around the
mountain, the train parted. The engi-
neer on the forward end pulled open
the throttle of the engine and tried to
race away from the section, which was
increasing its speed every second. He
managed to keep clear of the racing
cars until he got opposite the depot at
Glengarden, when the second section
smashed into the first. The first sec
ton, composed of coal cars, was going
at high rate of speed and none of its
cars were jolted off the track. The for
ward car, one of the oil tanks of the
railway section, was hurled sidewise
across the track and the tank cars be-
hind were piled upon top of it in every
way. The first crash caused the oil in
one of the tanks to explode and ignite
and the terrific heat caused the other
cars to, explode, one after the other.
The incline running from the depot to
the main street acted as sluice for the
burning oil and it poured into the chief
thoroughfare of the village, setting fire
to everything it touched, Houses,
fences, trees, shrubbery and barns were
reduced to ashes in an incredibly short
time.
Villagers awakened by the explosion
rushed from the oncoming flood of blaz-
ing oil, carrying children in their arms.
Some risked their lives to free horses,
cows and dogs in outbuildings, but 9TH
er unfortunate animals could not be
reached in time and were burned.
Within five minutes after the first ex-
plosion the flowing river of oil had
reached Masonic temple in the heart of
the village and 10 minutes later that
structure was enveloped in flames.
Then building after building ignited
after the oil reached them, and within
half an hour the area of 400 feet square
was mass of flame. From the wreck
ed cars the oil also flowed down the in
cline of the railroad track, making a
long line of fire that destroyed the ties
and bent and twisted rails. Loss, $685.
900 to $4,000.

HEALD's BUSINESS COLLEGE.
A Prosperous and Popular San Francisco
Institution.

Among the institutions identified
with the growth and development OF
San Francisco Heald's business col.
lege holds conspicuous place. Both
as a business enterprise and an ed.
ucational institution it has been ever
! since its organization, nearly forty
years ago, extremely popular and emf.
nently successful. It Is in the class
OF those solid and substantial insti.
tutions in which city takes pride.
Citizens point to 1t as one of the old
reliable and thoroughly progressive
establishments, an institution with
definite purpose and an unQuestioned
status.
In connection with commercial
education the name of Heald's is
household word ON the Pacific coast
and throughout the country at large.
In its own field of effort it is as widely
known as Stanford or Berkely, for il
enrolls students from the four quar-
tiers of the globe. In 1899 every
county in California but four had
students in Heald's Business College
The four not represented were Del
Norte, Lassen Orange and Ventura.
The register of the college shows that
In 1900 students were enrolled from
the following states and territories
outside of California; in many cases
there were several representatives
from each: Nevada, Iowa, Washing.
ton, Oregon, Montana, Colorado, Utah,
Idaho, Arizona, Kansas, Missouri.
Pennsylvania, New Jersy, Vermont,
Virginia and New Mexico. In 1900
students came directly to the school
from Mexico, Canada, Japan, the
Hawaiian Islands, Yukon territory,
Siberia and Central America. Enroll.
ments were also made from England
and Sweden.
It's large body or alumni consti.
tute a most formidable promoting
force, and the steady growth of the
college can be attributed largely to
the commencing voice Of those thou.

they speak.

Scranton, Pa, March 24.-President
Mitchell OF the United Mine Workers,
accompanied by District Presidents 7. D,
Nichols, I. p Duffy and John Fair, have
left here ostensibly for New York. Last
night Mr.. Mitchell held long conference
over the long distance telephone and it is
believed that the departure of the mine
workers officials was the result of this
interview. There are indications that the
railroads are preparing for strike. All
the cars available are being loaded with
coal while none is being emptied and re-
turned to the mines. Consequently many
colleries throughout the region were idle,
owing to a scarcity of cars.

AFTER TWENTY YEARS
WONDERFUL CURE IN A STUBBORN CASE

porter regarding one of the most i'm
portant events of his life carries with it

with rheumatism put it is even
wonderful that there is a remedy so
exactly suited to the tratment of this
stubborn disease that one hundred
doses were sufficient to eradicate

Ing. The proof that such a remedy
is within the reach of all rheumatic
sufferers is found in Mr.. Dalton's own
words. He says:
i had been troubled with rheuma-
tism all my life, even when a boy.
1t attacked me in the legs, arms and
shoulders. The pain in the latter
was particularly severe. /, of course,
took medicine for it, but did not
obtain permanent relief. One day
about three years ago while reading
newspaper, l saw an advertisement
of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People and determined to give them
trial. l had taken but three boxes
of the pills when the trouble, which
had been my affiiction from child
hood, entirely disappeared.
About a year later l had another
attack of rheumatism which was
brought on by working in a damp
place. remembered well what DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
had done for me, so l Immediately
purchased some. Strangely enough. |
Just three boxes again cured me, and |
l have been entirely free from rheu-
matism ever since. / have told a num- |
Der of people about DIR. Williams |
Pink Pills for Pale People, and they
have taken them. with most bene- |
fetal results"
