That the end could not long be delayed was | evident yesterday, and that it did not come sooner was due to the mental force which bas always been one of Mra. Harrison's interesting charactecistics. Dr. Gardner seemed fully at isfied yesterday afternoon that dissolution was certain within three or four hours, but the | patient, then barely conscious, held om to life with surprising tenacity.

Mr. and Mrs. Harrison began their domestic responsibilities in rooms in an Tndianapolis boarding house, In the vammer of 1804 Mra.

During the past week of Columbian festivi- ties the navy has taken quite a prominent part in the various parades, The naval parade up New York harbor and the Hudson river a week ago was as imposing as it could be, considering the small number of Government vessels participating, the Philadel- phia, Atlanta, Miantonomoh, Dolphin, Vesuvius and Cushing being the only ones present. The Italian government was represented by the handsome cruiser Bausan, the French admiral on the flagship Arethuse, with her Jong ram bow and masts, was followed by the gunboat Huseard, while the Spanish nation sent the trim little cruiser Infanta Isabel. From the start to finish the bills resounded with the e hoes of the grewt guns as all the ships fired national salutes together. The procession was forced to move very carefully and slowly on account of the large number of small craft of every descrip- tion that failed to keep clear of the chagnel. When the large naval parade takes place*hext spring some means will have to be taken to keep @ clear channel for the vessels, as many more will take part at that time. The New York naval reserves bad out a fine squadron of six- teen tugs, and Commander Miller took advan- tage of the occasion to show what they could do at feet tactics and made a very creditable show- ing indeed. i | THE NAVAL BRIGADE. ‘The naval brigade of 400 men which took part hter of the late Ca) bi is T.

At abont 6 o'clock Executive Clerk Mont- gomery, who has charge of the telegraphic de- partment, was astounded at receiving several messages of condolence over the wires. That indicated the circulation of a rumor of Mrs. Harrison's death. Denial of the story was at once telegraphed to various points, but for an hour or more the sympathetic dispatches con- tinued to arriv Shortly before 7 o'clock Dr. Gardner drove over from his office, and in response to the President's request agreed to remain through- out the night. By this time the patient had more difficulty in breathing than had previously been manifest, but nothing could be done for her relief. Her lips were kept moist and every- thing that promised to lessen her discomfort was attended to, but there was no response. To the number of notables who called during the evening and made anxions inquiry there was but one response: “Mrs. Harrison is barely alive.” Among the many who left their cards were Secretary Tracy and Secretary Noble, both of whom had just returned from Chicago; At- torney General Miller, Gen. L.A. Grant, as- sistant secretary of war; Assistant Secretary Soley of the navy, Chief Justice Fuller, Associ- ate Justice Harlan, Gen. and Mrs. Breckin- ridge, Col. Ernst, Judge Peelle of the Court of Claims, Third Auditor Hart, Ex-Surgeon Gen- eral Brown, United States army; Rev. Dr. Ham- lin and Mrs. Hamlin and Mr. W. T. Durbin, an old personal friend of the President. ‘THE APPROACH OF DEATH. At 11 o'clock the doctor found that Mrs. Har- rison’s respiration was sixteen to the minute and declining, a marked change from the more rapid breathing which had tormented the patient recently. Small quantities of phlegm interfered somewhat with the passage of air, but there was no cough. By midnight respira- tion had dropped to twelve. Half an hour later the heart's action weakened materially and the breath came more slowly than at any period in the history of the ensé. The begin- ning of the end had come and Dr. Gardner so notified those around him. Immediately there gathered to the vicinity of the bed Mr.and Mrs. Russell Harrison, Mr. and Mra. McKee, Lieut. and Mrs. Parker, Mrs. Dimmick, Mra. No comer, Miss Davis, the trained nurse, and Mrs. Harrison's maid, Josephine. The President was already there. He had been there continu- ously for nine hours. Realizing that not! he could do would beof any avail the pl left the room and stood in the corridor. Min- ute after minute passed rapidly by and the ree- pirative force slowly decreased. THE EXD. Motion ceased at 140, and when, in response to Lieut. Parker's intimation, Dr. Gardner looked into the emaciated face and touched a | wrist with his finger tips all doubt was gone. Mrs. Harrison was dead. Simultaneously with the announcement of | Mrs. Harrison's death all the lights in the house | lowered and severai policemen who had | been summoned in anticipation of the event, were stationed at all the qantrances to. the ounds to prevent people intruding on the privacy of the Presidentand family in their bereavement. Telegrams conveying the sad intelligence were also at once dispatched to all the members of the cabinet absent from the city and to Judge Scott (Mrs. Harrison's only brother), who is now on his way to this city in the vain hope of re ing here before the eud came. started from Port Townsend, state of Washington, yee- terday and cannot reach Indianapolis before | MRS. HARRISON'S CAREER. Her Marriage and Her Family—Her Social Life in Washington. Mrs. Harrison spent so much time in this city, where her father and sister, the late Mrs. Lord, so long resided, that she felt practically as much at home here as she did at Indianap- olis. She used to say that previous to coming tolive at the White House she had lived all sorts of ways here,as she bad successively | boarded, kept house or made temporary stays | im many of the hotela, She had enjoyed a vari- ety of experiences and knew life in pretty much ry phase it came to a transient resident. No matter with whom she came in contact she im- Dirth, fifty-eight years ago, was president of the Oxford (Obio) Female College. Asa boy of youngest son of the original John Scott, was a captain in the revolution, and was twice taken prisoner. He was sent to western Pennsylvania to quell the whisky insurrection. It is through Matthew Scott’s daughter Margaret that Mrs. Harrison was related to Mrs. Lucy Webb Hayes, the wife of the ex-President. Another one of the fighters in the Scott family was Sergt. Kobert Scott, who was attached to Col. Baxter's Northampton militia, made up at Elizabeth, N. J. Another Scott was one of the earliest settiers of New Britain, Conn. HER CARE FOR HER FATHER. When the family came to the White House Dr. Scott, who had resided here with widowed daughter, Mra. Russell Lord, came with thom, and resigning his position in the ion office gave up all active duties to en- the firt leisure busy fe under the White roof. From that day until stricken down with her fatal illness he was the object of the tenderest care and solicitude on the part of Mrs, Harsi: ton and indeed of the entire household. ‘The first break in the united circle was the death of Mrs. Lord, which occurred December 10, 1889, after the family had aguin returned to’ town after their summer and autumn travels. Mrs. Lord’s serious illness began at Nantucket, where she was staying with her daughter and where Mrs. Harrison visited also for a time. After being carried to New York. where the lat ter followed her and stayed almost to the last, twolater. Mrs. Harrison and her fami present at the last sad scenes. Mrs. wasalong time recovering from this blow. The sisters were greatly attached and were al- ways together as much as possible. HER EVENNESS OF TEMPER. The greatest charm in Mrs. Harrison's disposition was her strong common sense, her evenness of temper, her willingness to oblige and the kindly thought for ever; body else which dominated every act. She cultivated the faculty of saying « happy thing of everybody and repressed the strong inclination to say the witty things which always came so easy to her, for fear she might unwillingly offend s sensitive person. Her high position did not change her in the slightest degree unless it were to make ber feel more than ever willing to give up her private inclinations to do that which was expected from her by the public. HER INDUSTRY. She was probably one of the most industrious mistresses the White House has ever had. Her own method of life was so simple that it gave her more time than ordinarily comes to persons in high places to devote to things she liked best. was a constant reader of the best Mteratare and devoted to her brush. She has been a diligent pupil for several years in the studio of a china painter, and her talent was often wed in the gifts she made her friends at the holiday period. A8 MISTRESS OF THE WHITE HOUSE. In carrying out the hospitalities of the White House she has never been excelled. She pre- sided with easy dignity and grace upon these oceasipns and omitted no detail that would add to the pleasure of those attending them. She carries out to the letter the written and un- written laws of the house and did as much more as it was possible to do within the limits of each season. Speaking of her yesterday lady who has known her for many years said: “The Harri. sons have been always noted for their hospital- v. They had alwaysa houseful of company at thelr Indianapolis home and it was currently said they really entertained beyond their means, ‘They kept up the practice here. It wae not their fault if any of their old-time Indiana friends left Washington without enjoying a family meal at the White House or a di courtesy. Dr. Scott's ol pupil or associates ‘in his college president's days, were always shown the greatest attention, and practically Mra. Harrison rarely sat d meal without some extra company. Her thought and care expended tteel? upon the house in every particular, and it is to her mainly that the present exceilent condition of the mansion is due, She had a pride in its tory and a reverence for its old-time cus- toms and a patrio' that the President's house should be. worthy of the people who him there, She fou sau in bring its old treasures to it and placing them where everybody could seo and admire them.

The navy yard is beginning to look more lively as the teason advances, at the ock rec the finishing touches to her long list of repairs, the Miantonomoh is preparing for extensive’ repairs, the Dolphia Vesuvius are ing out for a southern cruise to Charleston, $.C., to take part in a celebration there. The Philadelphia is also ia the yard, while the old sailing practice ship, | Portsmouth, recently returned from her Euro- an cruise, is lying at the ordnance dock. The iovanni Bausan is in the dry dock having her hull scraped and painted. She shows rather fine lines under water, and a noticeable feature ia the smallness of her bilge keels, which extend for a very short distance along the middle body, whereas in our own vessels the bilge keels extend for more than half the length of the ship, greatly reducing the rolling. The French lying at anchor in North river and the Spanish cruiser Infanta Isabel is with the Frenchmen. Work is progressing well on the Maine and she is expected to be ready next summer. The Cincinnati is to be launched about the middle | of November. She will be christened by a Cin- cinnati girl and a committee from that city will be present at the ceremonies. POSSIBLE MOVEMENTS OF SitIPs. No definite plans are yet known for the North Atlantic squadron during the coming winter, but it is thought that after the Chicago and Concord return from Venezuela the ships may all beaseembled for a squadron cruise in the gulf with a visit to New Orleans and some of the West India ports; but the return to the north will probably be earlier than usual to begin the preparations for the naval review next spring, which will take every available ship in the service. The Bennington is ex- pected to return from Europe during the early part of November. when she will spend some time refitti probably at this navyyard.
