WIDOW An AL[XANDR|AN.
Daughter of George W. Harrison
Wife of Late Admiral
Eaton

With striking absence OF naval non
ors, the body of Rear-Admiral Joseph
Giles Eaton, US. N, (retireD, whose
sudden death in his Norwell, Mass,
home early last Saturday morning Is!
being investigated, was brought TO
Boston yesterday and then taken to
Lowell for burial. The widow and
Miss Dorothy Ainsworth, her daugn-!
ter by her first marriage, were the
only mourners. Newspaper reporters
and hack drivers were the palI6ear-
ers. Not even a flag was shown.
The widow and her mother, Mrs.
George W. Harrison, both expressed
the opinion that the Admiral had died
"a natural death.
The widow was the AdmiraTs see
Iond wife and was formerly the WIRE
of D. H. Ainsworth, once a clerk III
the United States Senate. Her father
was George w. Harrison and the fam
lily home was at Alexandria. The
family left this city about third OF
century ago, having previously oc-
cupied a residence which stood on the
southeast corner of Prince and Royal
streets. Mrs. Eaton's father SuDSe-
quently lost his life by drowning. Mrs.
Eaton is about 40. She said yesterday:
"For two years l have been afraid
that if anything happened to Joe they
would blame me for it and now they
probably will
The inexplicable neglect of gov
eminent attention to the passing OF a
man who was great enough to COM
mand a battleship in the nations last
war is causing comment. In the
Spanish war the dead man was in
command of the United States ship
Resolute at Santiago Bay. 1t was The
| Resolute which signaled 10 Admiral
Sampson the message that the Span
iish war fleet was heading out of the
land locked harbor and was adv1n-
cling to meet the United STATES vessels.
The man who, commanded the Reso-
lutte on &lnat great day was buried
with no more honors or attention
than would have been accorded the
insignificant alien just landed on our
! shores.
; Mrs. Harrison remained at the hcme
| iii West Norwell. She said yesterday:
"These rumors that my son-ln- law
was poisoned are terrible. We feel
terribly distressed over his death. 1t
! is nonsense to say that the admiral
was poisoned His stomach, as people
we'll know, was in bad shape.
Last Wednesday he cooked his
own dinner, as he was in the habit OF
doing at times. He had pig killed.
1t weighed nine pounds and he cooked
| it himself with vegetables. AT ..
o'clock he sal. down and ate about two
pounds of it. A few hours later he
became sick. He seemed to be suffer-
ing at the time. Thursday he was
taken sick and was attended by Mrs.
Eaton and his step-daughter, DoEo-
thy He was nauseated that day ana
complained of feeling 'ired. He SAID
his body ached. He continued SICK
Thursday night and Friday and ccm-
planned of feeling cold. Mrs. Eaten
gave him hot-water bottles for his feet
and back Both she and her dau%h-
ter worked over him until late Friday
night. Mrs. Eaton did not sleep in
tho room with the admiral that night.
She slept with her daughter in near

they were made the objects of a suf-

had obtained possession of a box opposite
the royal box. When curtain went down
on the first act they stood up and un-
furled a banner on which was inscribed:
Women are being tortured in your mai
estes prisons"
The suffragettes started to deliver
speeches, addressing the King, but their
words were drowned by a volume or
hisses from the audience. The King and
Queen meanwhile were smiling.
The women's Intellectual efforts to make
themselves heard occupied little more
than a minute because the management
was on the lookout for some such dis
turbance and quickly elected the women
While they were leavin3 several suf-
fragettes in the gallery threw down a
lot of suffragette leaflets.
This demonstration was planned by the
Women's Social and Political Union and
the speeches which the women did not
get chance to deliver appealed to the
King to end the present state of affairs
by bringing pressure to bear on the gov
ernment to give women the vote
