Rear Admiral Joseph Giles Eaton died
March S. last He was buried in a
simple manner. without the pomp and
honor generally accorded an officer who
once had been high in the nations serv-

over the body of his son, took the little
dead boy in a baby carriage to the
cemetery and. alone in the graveyard
in the woods, consigned TO the earth the
little one who bore his name.
The statement Of the Admirals death
has been given by Mrs. EatOn's mother.
the late Prenident Harrison. Accord
ing TO her story the admiral had been
troubled with his stomach for a year
or more preceding mis- death. On the
Wednesday before his death he cooked
his own dinner. as he was said TO have
been in the habit of doing. He had
killed q pig and he cooked IL himself.

ate heartily of this pork with vege-
Iablcs and in a few hours became sick.
