Mrs. JULIA LENT GRANT.


MRS. JULIA LENT GRANT.
the name Of Grant is woven the most i'm
portant and forceful history of the last
century, and it has never been doubted
that it was the wise and self-denying
counsel Of Julia. Dent Grant that helped
to mold much of that history. Mrs.
Grant was net brilliant woman, but she
was what is ten times better, she was a
level-headed, home-Ioving wife, ana a ten
der and juGicious rIothefsf She never
startled the world with splendid achieve
ments of her own, but. she gave it children
who were an honor to the name. Mrs.
Grant was in no sense Of the word So
eiety woman. As the vito Of the General
commanding the Armies Of the United
States and later A. the wife Of the Presi-
dent, she did the hanors Of the Grant
home and of the White House so well
that the world spoke well Of her, and not
so many women who have filled that
onerous position have gained this high
plaudit.
She vas generous to fault, and had
the happy manner that never gave offense
to the. lowest, though she never for a moe
ment forgot tie Hghifysof her position.
The four: children that came to Gen.
and Mrs. Grant are all living, Nellie,
Frederick Dent, Jesse, and Ulysses Sher-
man. The oldest son, Gen. Frederick
Dent Grant, who was with his father dur
ing the war, is now Commander of the
Department Of Texas, U. 8. A. The other
sons live in California. On their arrival
in Washington, arrangements. for tie
funeral will be made. Mrs. Grant, like
Martha Washington, will sleep beside her
husband, and the tomb in Riverside Park
will be to loyal Americans what the tomb
beside the Potomac has always been, the
shrine Of patriotism.

MRS. GRANT IS DEAD.
The Widow Of Our Greatest General Goel
over 70 Join Her Husband.

The grand marble mausoleum on the
banks of the Hudson. where sleeps the Na-
tion's great soldier-President, will now be
opened that there may be placed beside
him the devoted wife of his youthful days,
the helpmeet of those years vixen priva-
ton and disaster came upon him. Then
the great doors of the tomb wiz be closed,
never to open again.
The world sincerely mourns the going
of Mrs. Grant, but she was ready, and
had lived beyond the span of life set by
the prophet. Her later years had been
made up of days of suffering, greater suf-
fering than her closest friends knew till
just recently. She had long since denied
herself to all but her closest friends, and
her mind lived wholly in the past. 1t had
been a happy past to her. She had been
tender, loving wife, a kind and tactful
mother, and her home was her world.
There had come to him whom she loved
all the honor and glory that grateful peo-
Pile could bestow, and though there were q
few clouded years, both had lived to SEQ
the sunshine gleam through the riffs, and
to feel the return Of all the eld-time af-
fection Of the people. Sorrow has been
Mrs. Grants constant companion since
her honored husband answered the last
rollcall, and the loosing of the silver cord
found her waiting the summons.
Mrs. Julia Dent Grant was IS years
old. Her grandsires were Revolutionary
soldiers, and her father and husband serv-
ed in two wars. She was the mother of
sons who also served in two wars. Around

HARD ON DUMMY.
Incompetent Official Gives the Mute
the Worst of It.

the Worst of It.
From all accounts of the fight be-
tween Dummy Rowan and Frank Dunn
at Butte Thursday night, the silent
man was robbed of the long end of the
purse by the referee, whose name is
James Keefe. He gave the decision TO
Dunn in the seventh round on what he
called foul which, however, neither
the fighters nor the crowd had seen,
and which. in all probability, did not
occur. The contest itself was devoid
of science, and was what might be
called a rough house" exhibition from
start to finish. Commenting on the
contest, the Anaconda Standard says:
Though Frank Dunn was given the
decision over Dummy Rowan of Ana
conda in the seventh round of what
was scheduled as a twenty-round con-
test at SuttOn's Broadway theatre last
night, il cannot be said that he earned
1t. The best evidence that the decision
was not wholly just and was unpopular
with the crowd was attested by the
Kisses which greeted the announce
ment of Referee James Keefe. When
he raised the left glove of Dunn and
declared him the winner the decision
was based on a claim Of foul which
was made by one of Dunn's seconds.
Keefe gave no sign to indicate that he
considered there had been a foul until
the claim was made. Then he hest
tated for a moment before giving the
decision, which ended a fight that
many believe the deaf mute would
have won.
What was considered a foul was a
blow struck by Rowan as the men
came together, after an exchange of
rights for the head. In the exchange
neither man was damaged, and the
blow struck by Rowan as they came
together was of no consequence. AS
the blow was struck Dunuscaught hold
of Rowan for an instantssand Dunn's
seconds called foul, e18ning that
Rowan had struck the blow while the
men were clinched when they had
agreed not to hit in the clinches. From
an impartial viewpoint it did not look
as though q foul had been committed,
but if there was foul it was of such
an Insignificant nature that it should
have been overlooked, particularly in
view of the fact that there were fouls
previously and Rowan was not the
only offender. Dunn frequently vio-
lated the Marquis of Queensberry rules
by going on the floor when struck at
and he was warned for it, but not. pen
allied. He would not be allowed to
pursue such tactics if boxing before
first-class athletic club.
by dropping to his knees and some
times to his hands and knees it was a
matter of impossibility for Rowan to
hit. As soon as Rowan would start a
swing Dunn would drop and then hav-
ing touched the mat. the Dummy
could not uppercut or strike any kind
OF blow without fOuling."
