Washington, Aug. IA pail of
gloom has settled over the White
House. All shades were drawn and
everyone talked in whispers Mrs.
Wilson was particularly beloved by all
servants and employees about the
White House. None of them made any
attempt to hide their deep grief.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the
president of the Unised States, died at
the White House yesterday at p. IN.
of complication of diseases.
The end came after two serious
sinking spells. The president and his
three daughters and Francis b. Sayre
were at the bedside at the end.
The president was completely pros
trated when his wife died and broke
down entirely. When Secretary Tu-
multy entered the executive offices to
tell the waiting newspaper men his
cheeks were bathed in tears.
Mrs Wilson had been unconscious
for varying periods since Monday and,
while her condition was known to her
intimate friends, news of it was not
generally circulated until no hopes
were entertained for her recovery.
So serious had Mrs. Wilson y scondi-
tion become during the last few days
that her children were summoned to
her bedside and they were With her

House gardens in which she took a
deep interest. Her death came as q
great shock to the many friends she
has made since she came to Washing
ton, for a number were not prepared
for the event These friends include
persons In all walks of life, in view of
the fact that Mrs. Wilson, ever since
she arrived in Washington, had taken
deep interest in all the charitable
work being done in the capital.
Mrs. Wilson was Miss Ellen Louise
Arson, daughter of a Presbyterian
clergyman, and was born at Savannah
Ga. She was a student at the New
York Art league when she met Mr..
Wilson, who was then taking u post
graduate course at Johns Hopkins
university. The president and Mrs.
Wilson were married June "a. 1885.
Mrs. Wilson was sister of Prof.
Stockton Arson, head of the depart
rnent Of English literature at Prince

Edward Elliott of Princeton.

ability, and a painter of equal note.
Mrs. Wilson devoted much OF her time

in Burnaby's Travels In America In
1850" the following incident r. related,
The captain OF a British man-of-war
cruising or the Massachusetts, coast
left his wife in Boston On one OF his
visits to port she came down to the
wharf to meet him, and she was pub
ncly kissed by her loving spouse. This
violation OF the law was at once re-
ported. ana the captain was brought
before the magistrate and sentenced TO
be publicly whipped. There was no
getting out Of II, and the captain sub
mitted quite gracefully.
Just before the departure OF his ship
he gave an elaborate entertainment, to
which all OF the magistrates were In
vited. After the festivities were over

InhaIlnu Water.

Undoubtedly a number Of bathers
who are drowned meet their deaths
from cramp. Cramp Is liable to seize
anybody at any moment, and when It
comes in deep water few swimmers
have sufficient presence OF mind to
turn on their backs and wait quietly
until the attack has departed. So they
go under. But there is another danger
quite as imminent as cramp. though 1t
is probably less known. This is water
inhaling. A swimmer or even a wader
Is always liable to inhale spray through
his nOstrils, which. passing through the
pharynx and behind the epigloths or
windpipe guard, gets into the windpipe
and causes death. As one would ex-
pect, water inhallng is almost wholly
confined to the sea and very rarely
occurs In fresh water. Al the same,
It may happen anywhere.

scurlnar Diseases.

"What Is a cureT' asks the editor Of
the London lancet in reproving doc
tors for the loose way In which they
use the word. Nothing ever gets COM
pletely well" is an aphor1sm of a great
medical philosopher.
Only when the cause Of a diseased
condition has been removed. it's effects
neutralized and the organism protect
ed against its activities in the future
have we the right to speak Of the
"cure" Of the patient, is the editors
opinion. Immunity conferred by such
a cure, he says. may be only temporary.
Where a disease process Is only lin
tied or shut Off and it's further spread
prevented, while the causal agent re-
mains, we should speak Of arrest, but
not OF cure. Where grave organic
damage has occurred and function has
been restored by vicarious activities
we should speak Of the result as one
Of repair or compensation"

In '1The Desert and Mrs. AJAX" by

ters, an American girl, thus describes
love:
''oh, Amy Cshe says), isn't It splendid
when you love some onef You Just
want to sacridce-and give up-and
work-and be devoured by fire or
drowned in ice water II 1t win do any
good Sometimes It makes you feel
oh, so strong! And then, almost right
away, your knees get wabbly, and you
Just turn into a cobblestone inside.
And one minute he's looking at you in
the most wonderful way, and you feel
as II you were floating on lovely pink
cloud, eating ice cream smothered in
violetS, and the next thing you know
something terrible happens, and every
thing goes to pieces, and you see that
he doesn't love you after all-and,

Adopting the well known hypothesis
Of Helmholtz, which attributes the

Heart Of the lsIIssOns.

II Il were not for the countless tTil-
lions Of dust particles that hoat sepa-
rately invisible In the atmosphere there
could be no raindrops, snow crystals
or hailstones. From a perfectly dust
less atmosphere the moisture would de-
scend In ceaseless rain without drops.
The dust particles serve as nuclei
about which the vapor gathers. The
snow crystal is the most beautiful Gre
alton Of the aerial moisture, and the
hailstone Is the most extraordinary.
The heart Of every hailstone is a tiny
atom Of dust. Such an atom, with a
little moisture condensed about It, is
the germ from which may grow hail
stone capable of telling a man or
smashing a window. But irst It must
be caught up by current OF air and
carried to the level OF the lofty cirrus
clouds, Eve or six or even ten miles
high. Then, continually growing by
fresh accession OF moisture, It begins
its first plunge to the earth, spinning
through the clouds and flashing In hte
sun Ike a diamond bolt shot from a
rainbow.
