1t was one of the most remarkable
sights ever witnessed in Legislative
hall. Senator Foelker, who had been
on the point of death several times last
night and this morning, sat in his chair
as though dazed or stunned. He was
too weak TO show any recognition of
anyone. By his side stood Dr. Murphy
his physician, and back of him stood
Canon Chase, ready to administer the
last rites of the church if the physi-
clans skill should fail.
While the roll was being called for
votes on the ant-race track bill there
was not a sound in the chamber ex-
cept the calling of the names by the
clerk and the ayes and noes by the
Senator's All eyes were on Senator
FOelI1er, not because there was any
doubt as to which way he would vote,
but because 1t was expected that he
might collapse and drop dead before his
vote was cast.
There were fifteen names before that
of Senator Foelker, and when his, the
sixteenth name, was reached, there was
a deathlike silence during pause
which seemed interminable, but which
was really only thirty seconds. In this
silence the dying Senator reused him
self, his eyes raised, he conghed feebly
as though trying to clear his voice to
announce his vote, and then came
weak but at the same time an all
powerful AYE"
It meant the passages of the most i'm

were defeated.
Knowing that the effort would prob

to vote in favor of Governor Hughes's
bill to kill race-Tack gambling. II is
considered one of the most heroic sacrt-

Fixing Their Catboat.

Thompson and Kirllman We're work
ing on their catboat when found by
an EVENING STAR reporter. The
boat has been lying on the bank of the
Passaic, unoccupied, ever since the ar
rest of it's owners. and both men were
complaining bitterly of the condition
in which they found their possessions.
Great seams, through which the light
shone, were sprung in the hull and
mildew covered the clothing, which
has been rotting since the day after last
Christmas.
1T is a shame to pick, up two per-
fectly innocent citizens and put them in

clared Thompson. I'VE thought that,
under the circumstances, the authori-
ties at least would have protected our
property. But we have made up a long
list of missing articles, and with them

The only persons now locked up at
Jersey City in connection with the case
are Bartlett the Bowery waiter, and
Whitmore himself, who is awaiting his
second trial. The discharged witnesses
each left his $50 witness fees as bail
for their temperance when wanted.
Whitmore has asked Captain James

tive bureau, to aid him by putting his
detectives on the case. "I am an in

reached the state board of horticul-

funeral which seems to have ESCAPED
general observance.
President Roosevelt, before the fun
eral, summoned the members of the
dead Presidents two Cabinets into the
chamber of death and delivered to
them, with his characteristic energy
and force, an exquisite eulogy on the
life and the death of Cleveland.
1t was probably the only eulogy
preached at the funeral, and even this
was delivered behind closed doors to
men who once were much in the public
eye.
Around the bier. with heads bowed,
stood former Secretary of the Interior
Hoke Smith, former Secretaries David
r. Francis. Villas, Richard Olney, John
Carlisle, Herbert. Harmon and others.
All these and others had been sum

coffin, told of the good deeds and the
faith in which Cleveland had died.

far up in the barren lands where there

odd some distance away, and l went
there on my snow shoes.
What do you suppose found? A
mighty tree! That was queer enough
up there. But queerer still was the fact
that this tree did not stand in the
ground as other trees do, but stood
roots up with its crown buried deeply
in the soil. 1t was the most marvellous

that when the rocket is lit it will pull

Washington, June 13.-William H.
can presidential nomination, has
mapped out plans for the immediate
future. His resignation as secretary
of war will be placed in the hands of
President Roosevelt next week and I'M
less there is a change Of program it
will become effective July 1. Secre-
tary Taft does not believe he will be
able to wind up his affairs in the War
Department before that date.
Gen. Luke E. Wright, the prospect
i've secretary, will be ready to take
charge the day Mr.. Taft steps out.
Early in July, Mr.. and Mrs. Taft will
leave for Cincinnati. They had plan
ned to spend July and August at an
Eastern resort. but Mr.. Taft will spend
the better part of the summer in ohio.
1t has not yet been decided what
form Of campaign Mr.. Taft shall make.
The chances are that he will do most
Of his campaigning from the front
porch of his home in Cincinnati. Thou
sands of Republicans are expected to
visit him there as they visited Mckin-
ley at Canton in the memorable cam
paign of 1896.
Up to a day or so ago it was fixed
part Of Taft's immediate future that
with the exception of a brief stay in
Cincinnati he and his family would
spend July and August on the North
Atlantic coast, but the plan has been
changed as a result of correspondence
between Taft and his managers. The
latter regard it as highly essential
that the candidate should begin work
at once, and that a beginning should
be made in his own state.
