I > a recent magazine article Presi-
dent Hyde of Bowdoin College de-
clared that Christianity was decreas-
ing in New England Tbo statement
stirred up tbe Yankees and caused a
redhot discussion The alleged lack
of interest in church services and
work is probably doe more to tbo
lethargy that comes to a community
of povertystricken and worn out
farms drained of its youth and energy
by the great West than to any real
prevalence of paganism
Statistics have been gathered to
prove coat consumption is one of the

monary complaints Tbe Indian lives

Tuebe are churches in this country

medical authority so a mes enuer
was dispatched to the houso of Dr
Gardner and the pnysieian quickly
responded lie reacned the white
house at 7 o clock Ho found the
sunshine and dryness of tho atmos-
phere had somewhat helped the in-
valid and acted as a stimulant Uhe
was lying on her back ana wnenever
she awoxe from her trouoled and un
satisfactory sleep she was conscious
She coajd stiil recognize her sur-
roundings and a glance of recognition
was granted the physician when ne
entered the sick room Dr Gardner
was at the patient s bedside nearly
th entire oreuoon Mrs Harrison
at noon was still conscious V little
before that the president leaning
over her osecd if sne wsned for aaj
tning Sne answered low out very
distinctly No dear At 1 o clock
as he left the house Dr Gardner said
he did not think more than five or six
hours of life remained for Mrs Harri-
son He said that most of the time
she was in a sleepy semiunconcious
condition from which she occasion-
ally rallied During these spells of
wakefulness she recognized those
around her and someliaeiirspoadeA
to inquiries made Tbe doctor said
his efforts were devoted solely to
matting his patient as comfortable as
possible in ner dying hours She
could not taice nourishment of any
kind and application of stimulating
moistuie to hor parched lips was the
only treatment pat afforded any re-
lief The doctor returned to his pa-
tient aoout noon and found ner even
wcauer man before aimost completely
prostratea and unable longer to speak
or cough Apparently she was con-
scious There was little chnuge dur-
ing the afternoon but every change
was for the worse and tne watchers
were fearful death would etisue aoout
sundown 1 rom 4 o clock until well
into the evening tbe presdenl and all
the members of the famiiy rtmained
unceasingly at Mrs Harrison s bea
sica As the day waned the anxiety
of the waicners oecame more and
more intense Ibe physician s calls
were more frequent and whenever he
came from tne sick chamber be
brought the same report that the
patient was as near ueath as she
could be and still live Just after
6 oclocK Mrs Harrison suffered
another sinning spell and a message
was ent by fcecreiary Halford lo tne
absent cabinet oSicers asking them lo
return to Washington immediately
but ihe sick woman tfill baa sufficient
reserve strength to raiiy once more
Dr Gardner mide eight calls during
the day and when he came on the
last he sent toe carringe home and
prepared to remain until the end and
at 1240 came the end For tne sec-
ond time in the history of tne white
house the president s wife died while
In its walls Mrs Harrison met death
with a patience and resignation of a
devout christian and her last days
were comparatively free from pain
Eor twentyfour hours the president
and family have been almost constant-
ly at the bedside awaiting ihe end
Ijite and early so frejuentiy that ho
CQsld have slept but little if at ait

A SIASCONSET FISH STORY
An Old TThalsti Dfllchtful Way ot Entf r
taloin r Summer Visitors
JA number of ancient fishormen
were tolling storiosof thblr carjy days
In tho
qualntTittlo village of Smscon
set There vero a number of sum-
mer visitors in tho room and tnev
seemed to onjoy tho yarns which
wcro being spun immensely Finally
an old driccup man with a purple
wen on his neck and a handful ol
while chin wlJskers said
Talk abouttho whaling days in
Siasconsot why I can remember
when tho whales were so thick around
here that it was a common thing for
them to crawl upon the shore to sun
tliemselves
How long ago was that asked
an anxious bystander
About forty years ago replied
tho old man and in those days the
wtiiles had oil in ihcm too that was
worth talking about 1 have seen
them tap a whalo and by the time the
oil was out of him there didn t seem
to bo skin enough left to cover abaso
ball But now they aro kinder non
oxploslvc
What do you mean by non oxplo
slvc asked a bystandcr a he
handed tho hoary grandsire of Sias
conset a Cask with which lo warm
himself
I mean replied tho Siascon cter
as ho handed tho flask back with a
smile that the whales usod to bo so
full of oil that If you put a wick in
one of them and lit it it would burn
for almost six months
Tho crowd be ame very attentive
as tho old man continued
Wo used to burn hunks of whale
in tho slovo and it made tho finest
firo you over saw Wo had the whalo
or part o one hanging up liko a
sheep in tho ba k yard and when
over wo wanted to stirt a firo wo
would ust step out with a lialcbct
a chop a chunk or two that would 111
tho stove
Havo another drink interuptcd
the man with tho flask
Dont mind If Ida replied the
ancient Siasconsetcr
Hero bo took a gool pulL und
handling the flask back continued in
a sad reflective tone
1 onco knew an old whaler whe
has been dead a great many years
His end was very sad
How did ho die asked a by-
stander
Killed by a whale said the
grandsire of Siasconsct
Out on tho water of course
suggested tho stranger
No out in his back yard
Hit him with his tail
Na replied tho Siasconset
romancer You see lho old man
hauled of at tho whale with his
hatchet
And tho whalo bit him In half bo
fore he could strike
Not much tho whale was deal
Then how could ho havo killed
your ancient fr end
This way said the old man de-
liberately he dropped a spark by
accident out of his pipe and it fell
upon tho whale The whale ex-
ploded like a kerosene oil lamp and
scattered my fivcndfrom Siasconset
to Tuekahoe As it was night tht
ocean was lighted up for miles and
ovor at Marthas Vineyard they
thought Nantucket was having it
first volcano I tell you the whales
in those days were Here tho old
Siasconsoter looked around lo find
that all his hearers had slipped softly
away tho summer visitor in all
extent the fire will oe It is soreadl probability overcome by his grace

OUR ST LOUIS LETTER
Another Ilrlilce Aeroit the MInIiilppl
Departure or the Street IleKj n
Mure Cleetrte Itoadi
St Louis Oct W For years the
people of North St Louis have had to
ride four or five milc before they could
get to tha Lads bridge near the center
of the city and cross to tho Illinois
towns Last St Louis and Madison
where many of them were engaged In
business Lately they got engineers
and had estimates made of the cost of
a vehicle bridge in their part of town
Tile engineers reported that ono
couldnt be built for less than two or
three millions The Merchants bridge
which spans the river between North
St Louis ami the other side is only a
railway bridge The men who wanted
another bridge went to the directorsof
the Merchants company and asked
what terms they could have a highway
built along the railway quite an en-
gineering feat 1v the way They
were told the company would do it for
350000
Well accept said the North St
Louis men-
The building of this new bridge for
it is one practically will result in an
enormous increase in tlo business on
both shies of the river
Thousands of people who came to
St Iouis during the last few weeks
when the eity was crowded gave a
nickel or a dime to the beggars thrty
saw on the street corners There were
all sorts of beggars blind maimed and
musical and all of them reaped a har-
vest but wtat muat the visitor have
thought of St Louis
I never saw but one other place
where there were so many beggars
said a lady standing with her escort
near the postollicc one night and that
was in Home I should think that St
Louis would keep them in asylums
Today one couldnt find one of thoso
blind organgrinders if he walkcdfrom
one end of the city to the other They
dont ljclonin St Lonis They dont
belong anywhere Next week they
will be in Chica o or New York They
follow the cro ds all around the coun-
try It is a regular profession with
them and they make good incomes
begging Policemen can do nothing
but drive them away from their beats
and they then appear at another cor-
ner in five minutes and go on grinding
Another electric railway which
looks on the map like an octopis is
projected in the city and the men who
arc trying 10 get the franchise promise
to have it built by the time the throng
fill the streets next fall and clamor
for fast transportation over every
block they have to go Every car Hue
In the city exeept one short piece out
West will be run by electricity next
year and it seems that they cover the
ground pretty well but these hardy
projectors are willing to give a heavy
bond to get the road finished by Oc-
tober if the assembly will allow them
to liegin spending the S2000000 it
vrlllcost
