WARD HOWE DEAD
CREATOR OF "BATTLE HYMN or
THE REPUBLIC" PASSES AWAY.
Was Ninety-One Years of Age and Was
Always Active in Every Noble
Effort.

Middletown, Rhode Island. Julia
Ward Howe is dead. Bowed under
the weight of her 81 years, the noted
philanthropist and author succumbed
to an attack of pneumonia. The end
came peacefully in her summer home
here. Her three daughters were at
the bedside, but her son was absent.
The funeral will be held at the Church
Of the Disciples, Unitarian, in Boston,
Thursday.
Those who knew her intimately said
that Mrs. Howe's unfailing optimism
was the greatest source and support of
her manifold activities. Born in a
cultured home in New York City and
educated with care, she showed early
a remarkable avidity for study and
superior literary tastes.
She was put % years of age when
she came to Boston, and met DR.. Sam
uel Gridley Howe, the great philan-
were married. From that time until
DR.. Howe's death in 1876 this remark
able couple showed a never-tiring CO.
partnership of activity in all things
making for the uplift OF mankind.
After her husbands death, Mrs.
Howe continued her work for many a
worthy cause. She had shared her
husbands labors for the Greeks in
their struggle for independence; she
had assisted him in his anti-slavery
work and fired the nation with her
Battle Hymn of the Republic" she
had Joined heartily in the crusade for
IN suffrage; then in the last year
of her life by participating in a pub
lie hearing at the State House and
urging that action be taken to insure
pure milk for infants.
Although perhaps best known on her
literary side as the author of the Bat
tie Hymn of the Republic Mrs. Howe
was the author of many other poems,
of which she had published several
volumes, and of many prose works.
She was one of the most prolific con-
tributors to the Woman's Journal, the
woman suffrage publication, of which
she was a founder.
Mrs. Howe leaves four children, Mrs.
Florence Howe Hall, a prominent wo-
mar suffrage worker; Mrs. Laura E.
Richards, an author; Mrs. Maude
Howe Elliott, wife of John Elliott, the
artist, and Henry Marion Howe, pro-
lessor of m~etallurgy at Columbia Uni
versity.

DAVID B. HILL IS dad
WELL KNOWN DEMOCRAT PASSES
AWAY.
Heart Failure Causes Death Of Form
err Senator From New
York.

Albany. New York. - David Ben
nett Hills life work ended. his body
rests at Wolfert's Roost, his country
home, near Albany. The interment
will take place at Montour Falls,
Schuyler county, where the former
governor and ex-United States senator
was born 81 years ago. D.
Senator Hill had been ill nearly
three weeks with a cold and bilious
attack, but his condition had not been
considered serious. He was sitting up
in bed to take a drink of water when
he was seized with an acute dilation
OF the heart. Death quickly followed
with no n but a nurse at his bed
side.
Although he retired from active par
ticipation in politics following the
presidential election of 1904, Senator
Hill was deeply interested in the Pro-
gress of the present campaign. AS
late as last Friday he discussed the
situation with Judge Parker.
Senator Hill never married, did not
smoke and rarely INDUCED in intoxi-
cants.
Wolfert's Roost, two and one-half
miles from the capital, was purchased
by Senator Hill in 1893 from the heirs
OF Fritz" Emmett, the actor. The
house, a beautiful structure with odd
hooks, and gables, stands in
the midst of a 14-acre park and cost
its builder a small fortune. An arti-
fetal lake fed from springs by an i'm
mense Dutch windmill, lies between
the villa and the public highway.
Governor White issued a proclama-
ton requesting that the flags upon all
the public buildings of the state be
displayed at half staff until shutdown
of the day of Senator Hills funeral
and that the citizens of the state unite
in appropriate marks OF respect to his
memory.

The situation in reference to the un-

The Ontario government, through it's
lieutenant governor, j.. M. Gibson, not
flied the club that it's services would
be rendered in the search for tho
missing men.
All of the balloons should have been
down and reported by Wednesday
night, according to Aero club officials,
and the fact that more han a hun
dred hours have elapsed since the
start of the race, and neither pilots
Messner, Hawley or Abercron or their
aids have reported to the Aero club
of America has given rise to grave
apprehension for their safety.
1t was pointed out that the great
est danger is anticipated in the case
of a balloon having descended in Geor-

1908, 46.17 for 1907 and 49.79 for 1906.
In q formal order the Interstate

DISPATCH TELLS OF RESCUE
FROM OCEAN OF DARING
BALLOON voYAGERs.
STEAMER BRINGS CREW
Abardons the Airship and the Un-
successful Flight il Diri.
gible Airship
America"

sage from Captain Dowd of the Royal
mail steamer Trent says the Trent
picked up Walter Wellman and the
crew of the balloon America at 5 a. m.
Tuesday. The airship had been aban-
doned. The rescue was made in lati-
tude 1918, longitude 6S.13.
Crew and Cat Saved, Balloon Lost.
The position reported by Captain
Dowd indicates that Wellman and his
crew were picked up at a point about
$50 miles due east of Cape Hatteras on
he North Carolina coast.
Wellman and his crew sailed from
Atlantic City, Saturday, at A a. m. The
cruise was planned to test the dirigible
but the start was so promising that
Mr.. Wellman determined to continue
the flight in an effort to cross the At
lantic.
The course taken by the airship up
to the time of it's wreck shows to what
an extent it was the prey of wind and
weather. Sunday morning it was 300
miles northeast of Atlantic City. Mon
day it must have encountered strong
winds from the northward, as it was
driven $50 miles southwark, finally
bringing up east of the North Carolina
coast.
The total distance covered by the
balloon, while under control and drift.
ing a prey to the winds appears to
have been approximately $50 miles.
The wireless message received from
Commander Dowd read as follows:
The Story by Wireless.
On board Steamship Trent at sea,
We sighted the dirigible airship
America at 5 a. m, Tuesday. She sig
nailed us by the Morse code, and the
wireless played a wonderful part in
requesting me to stand by her till day
light. We kept a boat close by her
till dawn broke when she signalled
that she could not launch her %lifeboat,
and asked me TO keep close, in order
that a line might be attached.
I'VE made several futile attempts to
attach a line, then the America wire
lessed that she would come down to
the water as soon as possible and
drop her boat if l could stand by and
pick the boat up.
Lifeboats Keep Close.
Meanwhile our lifeboats kept close
to the airship as possible and finally
she got all her men in her boat and
cut adrift at a height of about five feet
from the water.
"This proved successful. The Ameri-
ca Immediately rose in the air and
shortly a~fterward, at 8 o'clock, l had
the pleasure of welcoming on board
Mr.. Wellman and his five l%ieutenants
and a cat which seemed little the
worse for it's air experiences. l then
picked up the boat and proceeded.
"Wellman and his crew are honored
guests on board. After a wash and a
brush up they ate a hearty breakfast.
The America was abandoned in lati-
tude 35.1S north, longitude 68.13 west,
408 miles from Sandy Hook, and the
craft is o having a great time
among the clouds.
"The America vas making a speed
of about eight knots when abandoned
and when released drifted to the west
ward. Her motor had been broken and
Wellman was out of his course. All
hands were mighty glad of being res
cued.
