American Author Passes Away a.,
Cranberry, Eng. 800.
London, May IF. Bret Harte the
American author, died during the
night. He was born at Albany, N. Y,
Aug. 25, 1889.
Mr.. Harte died suddenly at the Red
House, Cranberry, near Aldershot, from
hemorrhage, caused by an affection of
the throat.
Mr.. Harte had been living quietly in
England for years. Most of his time
was spent in the country, and when in
London: he was almost equally seclud-
ed, having few visitors to his rooms at
Lancaster Gate and only going to- the
houses of a limited number of very in
innate friends. *
The remains will be buried Thurs
day at Primley, in Surrey. ~
Deep sorrow at his loss and admira-
ton for his work are expressed in the
lengthy obituary notices, the sketches
OF his life and the editorial articles
upon his death which are published in
the London papers. Regarding Bret
Harte's place in the literary world, he
is variously compared to Dickens,
Stevenson and Kipling.

Rtors was received last Saturday, and
that he knew of nothing that could
give ground for the rumor that peace
was assured. He even went so far as
to declare that the only reliable knowl-
edge he had that the presidents of the
coal roads had held meeting was
gained from the Associated Press bull
letin which was shown him.
Mr.. Mitchell would not discuss the
situation or the possibility of interven-

the chances were that nothing would

MEETS FINAL DEFEAT,

plans for which they have been fight:
Ing for two years go down before the
vote of the women's convention. The
final defeat was given to the admis.
sion of colored women's clubs, the ef-
fort being made to down the Individual
club as a step toward reorganization
through state declarations only failed,
and the plan to reduce the per capita
tax from 10 to cents was showed I'M
der. The dispatch with which the
three issues were defeated, in the
midst of intense excitement on both
sides, is a matter of surprise, even to
the delegates who assisted in the re-
suit.
While Massachusetts is sorrowful
there is no element of bitterness in
the defeat and the union of the South
and the North, as far as the women's
clubs are concerned, promises to be
cemented for some time.
the nominating committee, after
five hours secret session, decided to
place one ticket before the women's
convention, headed by Mrs. Denison
OF New York for president.
