He Enjoyed World-Wide Fame for His Contributions to Indian Bibliography. Mr. James Constantine Pilling, the well- krown ethnologist, died last night at Ol- ney, Md., where, with his family, he was spending the summer. His death was caused by locomotor ataxia, from which he had been a sufferer for fifteen years. Mr. Pilling was born in this city Novem- ber 16, 1846, and was educated in the pub- lc schools and at Gonzaga College. He was employed after his graduation in Mor- risen’s book store and at the same time perfected himself in the then novel art of stenography. His ability in this direction soon became marked, and he quickly came to be regarded as one of the most expert shorthand writers in the country. At the age of twenty he was employed as stenographer In court work, in commit- tee work in Congress, and in thg various commissions established by Congress for the settlement of claims resulting -from the civil war. In 1875 he joined the survey of the Recky mountain region, under Major J. W. Powell, which organization gave a large share of attention to the Indian tribes, and from that time until 1890 he was almost continuously in the west among the native tribes, engaged in tabu- lating vocabularies of their language and collecting tales of their weird mythology. The successful investigator in this line must spend many sleepless and weary nights, often go hungry and wet, and ex- perience hardships In which only the en- thusiasm born of a genuine love of science cen sustain him, and during these years Mr. Pilling overtaxed his strength. When; in 1881, Major Powell succeeded Mr. Clarence King in the directorate of the present United States geological survey, Mr. Pilling was made chief clerk. He did rot, however, abandon his cthnologic re- searches, but, as a member of the bureau cf ethnolegy, also, he continued till his death to give to ethnologie and linguistic work all the time and strength he could command, and this sufliced to enable him to catalogue and index the literature re- lating to the languages of nearly all the Indiars of North America. Amorg them were bibliographies of the Siouan, Eskimo, Iroquoian, Muskhogean, Athapascan, Wakashan, Salishan, Chi- nookan and Algonquin languages. The lat- ter is regarded as one of the most im- portant ethnological works in existence, and the portion of it published separately end devoted to Eliot's Indian Bible is high- ly regarded by scholars. At the time of his death Mr. Pilling had just completed a bibliography of the ancient Mexican lan- guage, which will be published as soon as it is indexed. These works gave him a world-wide reputation among scholars, and in their preparation he studied and’ col- lected material in the libraries of Paris, London, Berlin, as well as In the important public and private libraries in this country. Mr. Pilling leaves a widow, who was Miss Minnie Harper, the stepdaughter of the late Judge Paschal, and a little daugh- ter. His brothers are Messrs. Fred. and J. W. Pilling. The remains were brought to Washington and the funeral will take place from the family residence, No. 1343 lth street northwest, Monday morning at 11 o'clock. The honorary pallbearers will be the late associates of the deceased in the bureau of ethnology, while the active pallbearers will be members of the geologi- cal survey. * Mr. Pilling was a member of many learn- ed and scfentific societles throughout the world, including all ‘of those in this city, and a member of the Cosmos Club, with which he has been affiliated since its or- ganization. ———— Union Republican Club. Forty new members were admitted to the Union Republican Club at the meeting last night at Willard’s Hotel. President Thomas J. Lasier was in the chair. It was decided that a banner should be stretched across the avenue from the hotel, provided permission could be obtained from the au- thorities. A special committee was ap- pointed to purchase a banner, to cost about $100. Colonel W. W. Dudley presented an informal report from the executive com- mittee urging the members to work for the best interests of the party, without attempting to promote the interests of individual presidential candidates. It was Gecided that prominent speakers should be invited to address the club at its regular monthly meeting. Appropriate resolutions concerning the death of General Green Clay Smith were passed. The thanks of the club were voted to Senator Chandler for his donation of 10,000 copies of his speech on the principles of the republican party. —_—_ Death of Ex-Congressman Davis.

AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW Ex-Representative Pendleton Talks on the Return of Business Prosperity. Me Thinks It Will Break the Back- bone of the Free Silver Move- ment—Democratic Prospects. Ex-Representative Pendleton of West Vir- ginia is an optimist in his views of the prospects of the democratic party, the financial question from the point of a sound money man, and of the future prospects of the country at large. “Prosperity has already returned in West Virginia, especially in the Ohio valley,” said Mr, Pendleton to a Star reporter to- day, after having spent some time at his home in Wheeling. In Wheeling and along the Ohia valley the mills are all at work, and wages of the men have been increased simply because the business outlook has warranted such action on the part of manu- facturers. I think, too, the mill owners are acting on the principle that they can get a great deal better results from a force of well-paid and eontented men than from a force of discontented men. On the Ohio side, at Youngstown, there is an actual scarcity of wotkmén. Every mill in Wheel- ing is in full operation except a couple of glass works, which have been shut down for two years ag the result of a strike. To Break the Buekbone of Free Silver “E feel confident,” continued Mr. Pendle- ton, “that if the present prosperity recelyes no setback the backbone of the free silver movement will, be broken, and that next year the only ‘advocates of free and un- limited coinage of silver left in West Vir- ginia and in the county at large will be a few cranks. In northern West Virginia, about Wheeling, there is a predominance of sound money sentiment now. In the middle part of the state the opinion of the public may be on the side of free silver, while along the southern borders of West Vir- ginia is the stronghold of the free silver people. But,as I said, continued prosperity is destined to destroy the power of the free silver mcyement. The Democracy’s Opportunity. “If the democratic party is wise enough to nominzte a sound money man and to adopt a scund money platform, I believe it will sweep the country in 1896. The re~ publicans are endeavoring in West Vir- ginia to Impress the people with the idea that our returning prosperity is the result of the election of a republican Congress, but as the democrats were blamed for the hard times as the result of the passage of the Wilson bill, they should in fairness be given the credit for our prosperity. In fact, the prosperous outlook in Wheeling is unprecedented. Usually, many of the mills close down in July and August, but this year the demand for iron and ‘steel manufactures ts so great that it will be necessary to keep the mills running during these months.” Mr. Pendleton will remain in the city until next week, when he will return to Wheeling. ————_+o+____ DEATH OF LIEUT. WATKINS. Valued Member of Capitol Force Ex- pires Suddenly. Moses F. Watkins, one of the three lieutenants of the Capitol police, died sud- denly this morning at his boarding house, 31 B street southeast. Some days ago he was attacked with cholera morbus, and suffered severely. He returned to duty, however, and continued to work, although he had not fully recovered. For the past few days he has been troubled with stom- ach affection, and last night suffered from a pain in the region of the heart. “A phy- sician was called, and Mr. Watkins told him if there was any danger of death he wanted to be informed frankly, as in such an event he would take the train for his heme in Tennessee so he could die there. The doctor laughed at his fears, and told him that it was simply neuralgia that was troubling him. This morning he went down to breakfast, but felt so ill that he returned to his room. When one of the other IMeutenants on the force called, shortly before nine o'clock, to see how he was, the servant announced that Mr. Wat- kins was sleeping. She went to the room, however, to verify the statement, and im- mediately called down stairs in an excited manner for help. The lieutenant hurried upstairs and found Mr. Watkins lying on his face ungonscious. He shook him, but could get no response, and after he had been turned over,:there was a sudden con- yulsion of the body and the man was dead. Almost immediately there was a great suf- fusion of blood under the skin of the head and neck, indicating that death was due to apoplexy. Lieut. Watkins was appointed on the Capitol police foree in August, 1893, from South Pittsburg, Tennessee, where, for some years, he had served as a city mar- shal. He was regarded as an excellent of- ficer, and had made a splendid record ever since he joined the force. He was forty- four years of age, and jeaves a wife and seven children in South. Pittsburg. Mrs. Watkins was notified by telegraph today by Col. Bréght, the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, of her husband’s death. The remains will be embalmed and sent to Tennessee as soon as possible. TOM JOHNSON’S IDEA He Wants Senators Ohosen by Popular Vote. His Aim is to “Down” Brice and Get Himself Into the Senate. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 27.—Political zephyrs blowing off from the sea of public opinion in this section are beginning to toy playfully with the political whiskers of Senator Calvin S. Brice. There is but one man in Ohio who has had the courage to say that the democratic state convention, which meets in Springfield, ought to step aside from the beaten path and adopt a resolution favoring the nomination of a United States Senator by the people. The man who has dared to make this prop- osition is ex-Congressman Tom L. John- son, who will go into the Springfield con- vention with the avowed intention of “downing” Senator Brice. The democratic state convention is cer- tain to be the scene of a sharp party con- test. While the silver question will create considerable interest, it will be but a minor feature of the party meeting. The conven- tion in this county will meet August 17, and will be in favor of free silver. Tom Johnson will head the delegation in all probability. Mr. Johnson is not for free silver, but it is thought that he will sacri- fice his convictions on this occasion if he can only secure the passage of a resolu- tion by the convention favoring the nomi- nation of a Senator by the people. Some of Mr. Johnson's enemies are uncharitable enough to say that he himself is anxious to wear the shoes that Senator Brice now has on. Mr. Johnson has not denied the soft impeachment and it will not surprise the democrats of northern Ohio if he shies his castor into the political arena again and appears as an active candidate for the United States Senate to succeed Senator Brice. The expressed determination on the part of the free silver democrats at the recent silver conference at Columbus, to favor a resolution looking toward the recommenda- tion of a senatorial candidate, as mamed by the convention in party assembled, has given Mr. Johnson renewed hope, and a strong action on the part of his pet scheme es doubtless be taken in this section of 0. — Attack the Will. William Burns of Winona, Minn.; Mary Long of Chicago, and Bridget Walsh of the same city, have filed a caveat in the matter of the estate of the late James Burns. The petitioners are children of the de- ceased, and they allege that a will offered recently for probate by Margaret J. Burns, the third wife of James Burns, and pur- porting to be his last will, was not signed by him or by any other person at his direc- tion, but was procured by Margaret Burns by undue influence practiced upon her hus- band at a time when his mental condi- tion was such as to be unable to resist such influence. It 1s asked that the will in ques- tion be annulled and set astde. —_-- Funeral of Cora Ferguson.

A FAMOUS FIREMAN DEAD Assistant Chief Lowe's Illaess Terminates Fatally. Twenty-Five Yeurs’ Service in the Fire Department—Arrangements for the Funeral. First Assistant Chief of the District of Columbia Fire Department Louis P. Lowe Gied at 1:45 o'clock this morning at his residence, 1222 29th street, of catarrh of the stomach. During the past week the physicians in charge, Doctors Appleby and Mayfield, exhausted the devices of their profession to sustain life, but without avail. Three weeks ago Mr. Lowe went to Colonial Beach for the benefit of his health. He seemed to improve for about a week, and evidenced a lively interest in the pleas- Ures of the place. Then there was a sud- den change on the 17th, and he came home immediately, a sick man, and grew rapidly worse. The affection that brought on death first appeared abou: five years ago, and {it clung to him steadily with increasing severity. Every fire that Assistant Chief Cowe at- tended during the past two years left a visible effect upon him. The deceased bore the reputation of being one of the bravest of fire fighters. He could be found always in the thickest of the flames. The reputation of the District department was very dear to him, and it was his constant endeavor to make it the finest in the country. Chief Parris had un- limited confidence in his first assistant, and the members of the department generally held him in high esteem. His executive ability was considerable. At the t!me of his death he was in command of the first bat- talion, District of Columbia fire department, consisting of engines No. 1, 2, 5, 7 and trucks B and C, and chemical engine N with headquarters at truck B hous, Hampsire avenue and M street. He was born in Alexandria, Va., In 1849, and received an appointment as a private on the Metropolitan Truck Company in June, 1870, andspromoted to foreman of No. 5 engine company April 16, 1874. He was acting #s assistant clief May 4, 1886, when Congress made the position a permanent ne. The District Commissicners appointe him first assistant chief July 2) ins Whenever the chief engineer was absent Mr. Lowe had command of the entire de- partment. For the past twenty-five years he has attended all the large fires in the District. Among them were the’ National Theater (twice), Wall's Opera House, old Center Market, U. S. arsenal and U. S, patent office. He also went to Baltimore at the time of the great fire there in 1873 on the train that conveyed two compantes of the department and made the run in thirty-nine minutes. Twice he went with the Washington department to Alexandria to render ald. Mr. Lowe leaves a wife and seven chil- dren—six sons and a daughter. The sens are William, Louis, Edward, Robert. George and Perey. The daughter is Marle Louise. The news of the death of the as- sistant chief was received everywhere with the greatest regret. He held a high place in the respect of his townsmen and was particularly admired by those who served under him. From the time of the an- nouncement of his illness to his death his home was almost constantly visited by anxious friends. ‘The flags on the engine houses throughout the city were all at half-mast today in re- spect to the deceased. The funeral will take place Monday morning at 10 o’ciock from the late residence of Assistant Chief Lowe, 1222 29th street northwest. The interment will be made at Glenwood and the pallbearers will be representatives of the fire department’ and Potomac Lodge of Masons. The members of this lodge will assemble at their hall in Georgetown at 9 o'clock Monday morning and march in a body to the house of the deceased. —_—_>-—_ Pythian Tribunal.
