SENATOR ALDRICH is
VICTIM OF APOPLEXY

NEW YORK, April 16.-Ex-Sena-
tor Nelson W. Aldrich, of Rhode Is
land, died at his home this morning
of apopleXy. The first symptoms were
manifested yesterday when he suffer
ed AL a..ack of indigestion. He SEEM
ed to recover. The physician called
this morning and found the famous
old Republican feeling well. Ten min
utes after his departure, the ex-sena-
tor succumbed to a stroke. His wife,
son and daughter, Mrs. John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., were with him when
the end came.
Nelson Wilmarth Aldrich, United
States senator from Rhode Island
from 1881 to 1911, and for number
Of years leader of the Republicans
IN the senate was born in Foster, r.
l.. on November 6, 1911. At the pub
lie school of his native town and at
the academy at East Greenwich,
Vhere he received his education, he
became known as the boy who wanted
to know the why for everything his
teachers and professors taught him.
After ne had completed his school
education he became clerk in a whole
sale house in Providence. Young Aid
rich soon developed faculty Of
smoothing out the troubles other
statesmen brought upon the firm and
be proved SO diplomatic in his deal
ings with difficult customers that he
rose rapidly, He was quite young
when he became interested in poll
tics for which his peculiar gifts emf
nortly qualified him. At first his part
was merely that of power behind
the throne, but soon he began himself
to hold office and to become n more
prominent figure in public affairs.
HIS aspirations in that direction were
aided by the fact that he enlisted in
Company C Tenth Rhode Island in
fantry in 1852 and served nine months
before Washington.
Seven years later he was elected
. councilman Of Providence without
effort During his term as member
Of the council it was remarked that
he mas 50 deadly in earnest about
every matter that came before the
board that he had no sense of hu-
NOR, and could neither make a Joke
nor take one, The same trait was
noticed later in the United States
senate, where Mr.. Aldrieh's reputa-
tion was that Of man who although
suave and eompanionable, Was seri-
Gus in al things.
Mr.. Aldrieh in short time became
a prominent member Of the council
ard IN 1871 WAS elected president Of
iaas e9dy, which position he held uu.
al lS7& Two years later he was
elected member of the Rhode Island
legislature and in the second year Of
ens term he was made speaker. In

at work, and members of congress
were talking nothing but schedules
and duties, Aldrieh, as business
man representing an important man
ufacturing state, was appointed to a
place on the committee of finance.
of which later he became chairman.
The influence which Aldrieh soon be-
gan to show came to many as a sur
prise. During his service in the low
er house of congress he had the repu-
tation of a good business man who
had shown political aptitude, but who
had never attempted to take the lead
His career in the house was rather
uneventful and Aldrich had no oppor-
tunity to distinguish himself. It was
Democratic house with Sam Ran
dali as speaker and Aldrich was put
at the foot OF the committee on the
District of Columbia.
But Aldrieh had not wasted his ting
in the house. He had begun to study
financial and economic questions and
to lay the foundation for his later
success as a leader. lie was inter
ested chiefly in looking out for the
interests of the industries of his own
state, and in order to do that effec-
lively he found it necessary tc study
closely all the conditions which would
affect them. After his election to tn,
senate he continued his studied until
there was not a better posted man On
financial and economic subjects in that
body.
His complete mastery of financial
subjects, his seriousness and energy
and his remarkable knowledge of men
soon made him an influential member
of the senate and in 1896 Aldrich be-
came the tactical leader of the senate.
when the Democrats were driven from
control and the senate was reorgan-
lied by the Republicans. He became
chairman Of the committee on rules,

For several years his rule was un-

1t almost impossible to maintain con-

United States, which will become a world

Old-Fashioned Walks.

Are you planning to join the ranks of
the mixers this spring-not the
mixers who follow particular trails under
competent leadership. but just the every
day folk who steal a few minutes out
of the days crowded hours and take a
brisk walk in the bright spring sunshine?
Maybe it's only to market or the gro
Gerry store, but try it and see IL it won't
soon become a necessary part of the
days routine.
Women, as a rule, are not walkers.
Tennis and golf and other sports attract
many of our athletic sisters. but plain.
ordinary everyday walking is usually dis
couraged by a convenient street car.
Fashion is responsible for this to a
large degree. for nothing Is less enjoyable
than to attempt a jaunty stride III a
narrow skirt which trips its wearer at
every step, and French-heeled shoes
which turn perilously on a downward
grade. But the spring styles will elimi-
nate the difficulty, and If you are going
fc walk, select your widest circular skirt
and your stoutest, low-heeled boots.
thick of sole, but not to heavy. Try to
wear loose clothing and avoid carrying
anything even a handbag. Above all,
keep your mind free from worrying
thoughts, concentrate only on the blue
sky and the signs of spring in tree and
flower. and breath deeply Of the crisp air.
If you are a housekeeper, don't try to
plan tomorow's menu and forget the
desk and the typewriter. II you are q
business woman.
Even thirty minutes of this swinging
along in the bright sunshine will fill
you with the joy of living and you will
look as fresh and youthful as the spring
itself. English women are famous for
their clear. bright compilations. due, it
is said, to their devotion to daily
tramp. Try it and see how needless
cosmetics will be.
