DEATH OF MARY A. HENRY.
Daughter Of Late Secretary OF the
Smithsonian Institution.

News was received here this morning by
private letter of the death at Seville, Spain
on the 10th of April, Of Miss Mary "A
Henry, the eldest daughter OF JOSEPH
Henry, late secretary of the Smithsonian
Institution. Miss Henry was taken Ill or
Monday Of that week, and after very sud
denly growing apparently better died II
the early morning of Friday.
With her two sisters, Miss Henry lef
Washington in June last for an extended
stay in Europe. The three ladies had beer
lasting a year or two Just before leaving
the dock at New York Miss Henry acct
dentally fell and broke her left arm. This
accident drew upon her strength, though
she was in fair state of health upon ar.
rival. The sisters spent the winter in Rome
They were upon tour In Spain intending
the next day to go to Grenada.
This news will be great shock to the
many friends of Miss Henry in this city
and elsewhere. Miss Henry, besides pos
seSsing the graces of a cultivated woman,
was remarkable for her power of acquiring
knowledge. Her taste lay In the direction
of her distinguished fathers requirements.
She was particularly interested in the
progress of science. and especially in cleo
tricity Well fitted for the task, she had
applied herself for several years past to
the preparation of a life of her father and
complete collection of his papers.
1t was the aim and hope of the daughter
to let the world know more of the achieve
ments of Joseph Henry than he himself
permitted in his lifetime. That Henry was
really the discoverer of the underlying
principle of the electric telegraph, and
actually constructed the first electric tel
egraph apparatus is perfectly well known
by scientific men. Professor Henry also
communicated from one point to an
other without the use of wires. These
facts are not, however, so well known to
the public at large, for the modesty and
self-sacrifice of the man would not suffer
him to use this great discovery to his own
advantage.

The fame of Henry, obScured it has
been by the success obtained by Professor
Morse in applying the principle to the de-
veopment of the telegraph a business
factor, was jealousy guarded by his daugh-
ter in her writings. She had in progress a
comprehensive work that would have been
of inestimable value had she lived to COM
plete it. Miss Henrys published papers
upon this subject, though few in number.
were of Importance, and received high
praise from those best qualified to judge.
Alike in the scientific world and in the
world of society, the sudden cutting off of
this useful life will be sincerely mourned.
Miss Henry was the soul of hospitality.
The many friends in various parts of the
country who have been accustomed to en-
joy themselves at her home on NJ street
near Thomas circle will long remember
the cordial and gracious welcome which
they met there.

Praise For Miles.

Discussing the retirement of Gen.
Miles, the Army and Navy Register
says editOrially:
The close of the conspicuous mill
tary record of Gen. Miles has seen his
office, by a combination of circum-
stances, bereft of its full privileges
and power. The condition las made
welcome, despite the uncertainty of
the new and untried, the advent of the
advisory board of officers represent
ing in its carefully selected personnel
nearly all branches of the army. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the change
will promote the harmony lacking in
the system of administration which
ends with Gen. Miles's retirement to-
day.
The splendid record of Gen. Miles
as soldier is not dimmed the least
by the harassing situation of the last
few months of his career. His achiev-
ments form II glowing chapter in the
national annals. The historian can
not ignore him in faithful chronicle
for various deeds rendered to the
country during the civil war and af-
terwaFd, in what was then the new
west.
His fine strategy, his unflinching
courage. his alertness his unyielding
persiStency, were qualities that con-
quered. They have earned for him in
the perilous pursuit of military ser
vice enduring fame, from which jeal-
ousy or the unfriendliness provoked
by unfortunate circumstances cannot
detract.
The unprecedented will. therefore,
pay sincere tribute of admiration to
the officer who goes on the retired list
today with these honors thick upon
him. And even the prejudiced must
add their praise of the man who has
gained respect for such personal char
acteriStics us generosity of heart, 10y
atty that never forgot the friends of
other days, courage of conviction.
with which one need not agree always
in order to admire, and an unimpeach-
able integrity.
The active list of the army. by
Gen. Miles's retirement, loses the ser
vice of a splendid officer and an hon
est man."

Graceful aud Refined Dance Per-
formed by FiJinn Maidens.
''The Fijian natives call their dances
'mekeS, and the best of them all is the
wave mckee" says a traveller who has
witnessed these graceful evolutiors,
"A lot of pretty girls, In two or three
rows. act the movements of the sea az
1t rolls in upon the reefs.
First of all, they bend down in uni
son and sweep the ground slowly with
their hands, waving their fingers In or.
der to represent the little wavelets
flecked by the wind. Then they sway
their bodies to and fro to show the long
roll of the tropical wave, and presently
their figures rise and fall as do tina
breakers. The action Of the dance be-
comes more and more violent. The
wave is dashing up the barrier reef.
The girls spring forward and clap their
hands and then drop to the ground
with long musical cry. The wave
has surmountcd the reef and emptied
itself into the CLASSY lagoon. The dance
is over.
Every movement of the wave
meke' is graceful and refined. The best
ballet girls in your American theaters
are not better trained than these young
Fijian maidens, who spend a good half
of their happy, careless, lazy lives
dancing their 'mekes' or playing in the
surf. There are no finer dancers in lbs
world. Nearly all their ballets describo
the scenes around them or the Incl
dents of their daily life. Other 'mekcs'
picture the palms swaying In the
breeze, the canoes tossing in a gale and
the clouds sailing across the sky"
