Death of a Distinguished Lady.

Harriet Lane johnson, of Baltimore, Nd,
died at Narragansett Pier, r. /. July 3. Her
beauty aud winning personality made famous
the administration of her uncle, President
Buchanan. She had been suffering from AN
incurable disease for a long time. Her re-
mains were inferred in Greenmount Gene
terry, July g.
In the social history of America Mrs. Har-
riet Lane Johnston ranked as leader whose
sway was undisputed. By her side stand only
Two other American peeresses-if they may
be so styled-Dolly Madison and Mrs. Grover
Cleveland. Between them stands Mrs. johns
ton. Her reign in the White House marked
the passing Of that epoch in which Mrs. Madi-
son stood out boldly as the chief exponent of
its social functions and the coming of that pc
Rod when Mrs. Cleveland so completely met
the requirements of country which had
grown vastly rich and which was rapidly as
piring to world wide ambitions, social, politi-
cal and financial.
Over her predecessor and over her success
sOr Mrs. Johnston possessed what the social
world considers great advantage training
in the royal court OF England and a familiarity
with the social customs of Continental Europe.
1t was this training which enabled her to in
augurate the new social life in Washington, TO
lay aside the obsolete customs which had be-
come a part of the White House life aud which
bore heavily upon its miStresses, and to intro
duce officially, gracefully and gradually, the
social departures which we're slowly but surely
finding their way across the ocean.
There are bat few living who remember
Mrs. johnson reign in the White House.
That she was beautiful is fully attested by the
the prints of the time as well as hv the testi-
muny Of those who remember her in her youth.
Even II this proof were not sufficient there
remained ia her advanced years that beauty
Of form and figure which plainly told of the
woman beautiful in her younger years. She
was courted. Her admirers were legion.
Those who sought her hand in marriage, if
the rumors of those bygoue days have any
foundation OF fact. must have been numerous.
Ii was even said that the then Prince OF Wales,
now King Of England, found her so lovable
aud so charming that he dared to hope that he
would WOO and win her for his bride. Lords
and peers Of England sought her hand IN mar
ringe, but she returned heart aud fancy free
to Washington from London, where she bad
presided over the household Of her uncle, Mr..
James buchanan, who was minister to ling
land. with her head unturned by the atten-
uous showered upon her by titled suitors.
Her heart and her baud went 10 the compan-
ION OF her girihood. Mr.. Johnston, and to him
she plighged her troth. They were married ia
lSG6 and settled in Baltimore after their hon
rymooa which was spent abroad.
She Was the only lady ia this country who
received personal invitation from hing Ed

Maryland Raised More Wheat In
1900 Than Was Raised By North
Dakota.
From the Frederick Citizen.

The statement made in a recent issue OF
the Citizen that Maryland produced more
wheat in 1900 than South Dakota, one of
the greatest wheat growing States in the
Union. has caused considerable comment
and we have been in receipt of several let
ters making inquiry as to the source Of our
information. Mr.. NJ. \. Carleton, in
charge of the cereal investigations, under
the supervision of the t. S. Agricultural
Department, supplements our general state
ment with some facts which may be of
interest to our Maryland farmers. The
comparison, however, should have been
North Dakota instead of South Dakota.
This only makes the condition still more
remarkable as North Dakota is a greater
wheat State than South Dakota. MIR.
Carleton writes You will notice on page
767 of the agricultural year book for 1900
that the Weld of wheat for Maryland Is
given as l5.lS7 SIS bushels, while that
Of North Dakota is l3, l76, 2l3 bushels,
making the Maryland yield fully 1000,
600 bushels more than that OF North Da-
kota OF course, 1900 was an unusually
bad year in the northwest. Nevertheless
the comparison is Of interest, as North Da-
kota ranks among the very best wheat
States in the Union. This information
from the statistics Of the Agricultural De-
partment should be correct and necessarily
must be of great interest to the people of
MARYLAND.
