Gen. HARR|SON'S SISTER
DEAD At NORTH BEND, 0,
Mrs. Elizabeth Harrison Eaton
Passes Away at the Family's
Old Homestead.
HISTORIC SURROUNDINGS

LAWRENCEBURG, Ind, May 12.-Mrs
Elizabeth Harrison Eaton, sister of the
late President Benjamin Harrison, died to-
day at the old family residence at North
Bend, a suburb of Cincinnati.
She was a granddaughter of President
William Henry Harrison, who was a pio-
neer in that part of Ohio.
The present house. in which Mrs. Eaton
died, was built soon after the birth of
Benjamin Harrison, in log cabin a little
further back on the peninsula. Near by is
the tomb of William Henry Harrison.
The name Harrison is closely identified
with the peninsula between the two
Miamis. On the summit of the hill at
North Bend, which marks the end of the
ridge skirting the Ohio river northward
from the mouth of the Great Miami, there
is a small burying ground. This is known
as the Harrison burying ground. Many of
the descendants of William Henry Harri-
son are buried here.

by Exchange of Rhetorical
Thrusts.
DIR. HARTZELL'S REPORT

Los ANGELES. Cal, May 12.-Business
moved very slowly in the Methodist Gen.
eral Conference to-day. and the events of
the days session were dull and uninter-
esting TO the crowds that filled the CALLER
les and at times failed TO hold the atten-
ton OF the delegates. Only once did the

degree of unanimity, and that when the
two greatest debaters of the body, DR..
j. NJ Buckley. of New York. and Dr. T. b.
Nicely, of Philadelphia, exchanged rhetor-
zeal thrusts. 1t was all over the method
OF constituting the judiciary committee.
DR.. Buckley wanted power given the bjsh-
ops to name five of the nineteen members
OF this important committee. which was IN
opposition TO the recommendations of the
rules committee, as reported by DIR. Nicely.
The committee report on this section final
ly prevailed.
Immediately after recess Rev. JOSEPH
{. Hartzel. missionary bishop TO Africa,
read his report to the conference 1t was
full OF interesting details of his work in
the Dark Continent, and he made strong
appeal for additional funds to further
prosecute his labors In the ChriStianizing

Bishop HartZel with $50 teachers and five
thousand scholars The total value of the

Bishop Hartzel paid an eloquent tribute
to the character of the late Cecil Rhodes.

Op, what was his ambition He replied:
My ambition is to do the greatest thing
for barbarous humanity and TO give all
my power to the unification of the Eng
