LONDON, June 19-Hazen 8. Pingree.
former governor of Michigan, breathed
his last at 1885 p. m. He was under
the care of three physicians and two
nurses, but the doctors had admitted for
the last day or two that the hope Of hts
recovery was very slight. DR.. Mills left
the dying mans bedside hardly Is
minutes before the final summons and
promised soon to return. At that time
Mr.. Pingree was unconscious, as he had
been for several hours.
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 1870 he noticed an
apparent change in his fathers condi-
tion, and drawing closer, soon observed
that the heart had ceased to do its work.
Death had come silently and without
special warming The once vigorous and
aggressive American passed away peace
fully and without q word to friend or
Toe.
Upon the death of his father. H. s.
Pingree. Jr., cabled at once to his mother
and uncle. who were about to sail from
New York, not to come to London.
The remains of Mr.. Pingree have been
kmbalmed. They will be removed to
private mortuary tonight, prior to their
bmbarkation on Sunday. The officials of
the United States embassy here have ex-
tended every courtesy and assistance.
SHOW SORROW IN DETROIT.
DETROIT. Mich, June 19.-The down.
town streets were we'll crowded last
evening when extra editions of the pa
pers announced the death of ex-Govern
Or Hazen S. Pingree in London. On
every side was heard just one express
sion: We'll the old man is dead" fol-
lowed by some words Of simple eulogy.
He was always considered as one of the
people and the familiar title was used by
everyone in speaking of him.
Many messages of coincidence were
sent by friends and political associates
to the widow and daughter, who are in
New York, and to Joe" Pingree, who
has watched by his fathers bedside since
the latter's illness began. A cablegram
from the dead mans son this evening
said he would start for home with the
remains at once.
AS Mr.. Pingree's brother, widow and
daughter are in New York nothing is
known of the funeral arrangements. 1t
is expected the members of the family
will remain in New York to await the
arrival of the remains.
WILL TAKE OFFICIAL ACTION.
Mayor Maybury 10 In New York and,
It to understood, will convey the city's
sympathy to the family. II II also
thought likely that the council will ap-
point committee to 90 to New York
and accompany the remains to the gov.
ernor's home city. Similar action may
be taken by the citizens reception COM
mittee, which was appointed some time
ago to greet Mr.. Pingree with great eclat
on his return homo.
Among the dead mans friends and for
mer associates general pity is expressed
that he should have worked so hard and
worn himself out during his political ca
reer. A man of tireless energy and
fighter all the time, he gave himself no
rest and the fact that his wonderful con-
stitution stood up so we'll under the
strain is thought to have made him care
less when the sickness which proved
fatal came upon him.
MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN SKILL
Full.
In it's editorial on Mr.. Pingree the
Free Press says: "He will be remem-
bered for what he attempted rather than
for what he accomplished, for his ag-
gressiOn rather than the skill and wis
dom of it's direction. What the follow
ing that he attracted will do in seeking
to carry out his samewhat variable plans
must be left to the revelations of time,
They will never have a more picturesque
or hard-hitting Champion. though they
may prosper under better and more eff
cient direction. AS private citizen he
was estimable and in his family rela-
tions one of the kindest and best of
fathers and husbands"
= Au-tags In the city floated at half
mast today. Expressions of deep and
sincere regret were heardon every hand.
The common council met this morning
and adopted fitting resolutions, and the
circuit courts adjourned until tomorrow
In respect to his memory.
Government.
