Washington. July Notable as a
statesman and diplomat whose offic-

ously before the public for many
years, the news of the death of Sec
retary Hay was received here with
most profound regret.
Although aware Of the delicate
condition of Hays health. there was
general expectation that he would
rally and that long stay in the New
Hampshire mountains would in a
measure restore his health
Hay was never OF robust consti-

somewhat impaired physical condi-
tion he was reluctant to remain in
the cabinet and did SO only at the ur-
gent solicitation of Roosevelt
Dr. Scudder. who was at the bed
side, said today that last night Hay
bade his wife and doctor cheerful
goodnight and fen into a restful
sleep. The nurse at the bedside felt
sure the patient was on the road to
recovery. At midnight and in mo-
ment Of time, this was all changed.
Hay awoke with his breathing la
bored and quick In feeble tones he
called. The nurse Immediately sum-
moned DIR. Scudder from an adjoin-
ing room. Heroic remedies were ap-
piled but they were futile, and Mrs.
Hay was called
She was soon at the bedside but
the patients eyes were already dull,
and he seemed unconscious. The mo-
ment of dissolution arrived SO rapid
ly that the son and daughter had not
time to reach the room.
Grief and CONSERVATION threw the
household into confusion, and it was
two hours before DR.. Scudder was
able to leave the house. He was driv-

the tidings Of death were dispatched
to the president, to the state depart

'inexpressibly at the death Of Secre

When the president was at Cam
bridge, Mass, on Wednesday he had
consultation with DR.. Jackson Of
Boston, who had been summoned to
the bedside Of Secretary Hay at the
incipiency of his illness, Assurances
were given by DR., jackson that the
consulting physicians agreed with
him in the expression Of his opin-

Secretary Hay went abroad in the
spring that he might never actively
resume his onerous duty as secretary
OF state, but when Hay returned to
Washington his condition was great.
ly improved, so that both he and the
president hoped that with summers
rest at Lake Sunapee he might be
able for time at least to direct
the state department.
The death Of Secretary Hay was so
entirely unexpected, came as a per-
sonal bereavement to the president.
With him the president was on
terms of the warmest personal
friendship The secretary was q
personal friend of Rooseyelts father
and had known the president from
childhood.
It is regarded as likely the funeral
services will be held in Washington,
but interment will take place in
Cleveland, Ohio, Hays old home. IL
is regarded as probable that no I'M
mediate successor will be made. 1t is
not unlikely that ON the return of
Secretary Taft from the far eastern
trip, that he viii be appointed secre-
tary of state but nothing definite at
this time can be said.

Taft said the death was great
shock to him and the other members
OF the party were grieved beyond ex-
preston.
1t was believed the death would
stop the Philippine trip, but Taft
said he would be guided by the de-

brotherhood Of Mercy of Florence
includes men ~f all ranks, who s+tend
by day or night in cases of accident, to
carry the wounded to the hospital, or
the dead to their burial, to nurse the
sick ia their homes or to assist at fires,
receiving no money or food in any
house they visit. The great bell Of the
tower tolls to call the brothers on duty
at the time, and even the grand duke
has been seen to withdraw from table
and silently respond to the summons.

Great Things Yet to BE,

The world is only beginning. We

nothing. The history of the past is the
history Of one empire at time. Now
several empires must compete together

quest and greater miracle of slow be-
coming, set dispersedly about the
world, but linked together, grasped
and held by the embracing sea, our
own ocean state, imperial Britain,

yet know greater men than Caesar and
Napoleon, deeper passion and wider
humanity than Shakespeare's, a music
still more elemental than Wagner's, a
sadder soul than Schopenhauer's a
more triumphant intellect than Metz

Helen's. John Davidson in London

Ball Lightning.

Ball lightning" says professor Of

most evil nature. Its shape is not al

Sometimes it is oval, sometimes it has
a flame like a shell. 1t often looks like
an orange ard moves SO slowly that
one can follot' it for several minutes.
"Once at Narseilles it entered q
house like ball of fire the size Of a
plate, struck the feet of a girl who
was kneeling, terrified, rebounded to
the ceiling, struck her feet again, then
the ceiling. After bounding thus three
or four times with perfect regularity
it finally went through the keyhole.
zone day at Secondigny two boys,
one aged twelve and the other fifteen,
were playing in the street when they
saw ball like an orange rolling to-
ward them. One touched it with his
foot. 1t exploded, killing him instant

DaCilfty In Dogs.

VIII people who talk about dogs ev-
er learn to differentiate between intel.
ligence and docility? The word 'intel-
ligent' is used almost universally in
talking and writing, when people real
ly mean docility-i. e., the readiness Of
the animal to accept instruction. Now,
as in human beings, docility is likely to
gence and the degree of intelligence is
likely to appear when the animal is do
ing things on his own hook. 1t makes
no great difference, but to the man
who tries to think accurately the con-
slant parade of an obedient animal as
one Of exceptional mental ability is
painful.-Joseph A. Graham in Outing.
