McClure, aged 81 years, passed away, at his country home at Wallingford, Delaware coun ty, Pa., on Sunday. Only a few days ago Colonel McClure returned to his duties as prothonotary of the state supreme court. This was followed by a relapse, which almost cost his life. Since then he had been at his country home, where he had i been slowly losing his little remaining strength, though putting up a grim battle against death. That he antici pated his end within a short time was shown by the disposition he made of his business affairs since retiring to Wallingford. Several times he had been in Ji'erenee with his brother-in law wl . Handled his interests during the p.ist week. Colonel McClure was born in Perry county, Pennsylvania, and when only 19 years of age became the editor of the Juniata Sentinel. Two years later he was appointed 011 the staff of Gov ernor W. F. Johnson, whom he had supported in his newspaper. He first gained political prominence in 1853 when he was nominated and defeated, for auditor general. Interesting Letter From the Misses Blumle. VENICE, ITALY, MAY 22, 1909. DEAKKST PAPA AND MAMA:— No doubt you will be surprised to hear from us from Venice, but we wish ed to visit Venice, so arrived here Wednesday noon and leave again to morrow for Milan, our last stop in Italy. We secured tickets at Rome which entitled us to visit Florence, Venice, Milan, and then via St. Gothard's j nel to Luzerne, Zurich and then Mun- j ich, at the cost of $23.40 each, which I covers our railroad fare, second class ! to Munich, and the ticket is good for ' 48 days. We are arranging our trip j so as not to travel by night, and to al- ! ways get to the next stop in the day I time. We journed from Home to Florence, and visited that city al! by ourselves without any trouble, and also came to Venice without company. However, on our way to Venice we met some very nice people, who were at f he same hotel that we were while at Flu nee, and are at this hotel now, and we Lu ve been taking in Venice with them, and they also goto Milan to-raorrow with us. There are four in their party, and come from Melbourne, Australia and New Zealand. Two of the crowd are making a trip around the world. If all is well, think we will be at Rosenheim in seven or eight more days, as we only stay ono day at Milan. Florence, while a very pretty city the only thing of interest there is the cathedral, art galleries, park, and Florenties Mosaic works, which we took in. Found Venice a beautiful place, and something out of the ordinary. This place is all composed of islands, which are joined to some extent by bridges, but some cannot be reached unless one takes a steamer, which ply from station to station the same as a street car, and 10 centisme (one cent) is the fare. A street car or horse is unknown of here, and one must either walk or take a gondola or boat. We were rather fortunate to get here at just this time, as Wednesday even ing the Queen of England arrived in her private yacht, together with Prince George and the Dowager Queen of Russia. The royal palace is rightat the Bay, and within a block of where we are staying, so we saw them coming to shore. Thursday night an illuminated procession of gondolas and barges was held on the Grand Canal in her honor, and it was simply beautiful. All of us were on the water in a boat and enjoy !ed the scene. The Queen's band was j in the center of the parade on a barge in the shape of a large crown aud simply a mass of electric lights. It took us two hours to cover the Grand Canal, and searchlights were thrown from different towers. This place is 111 ltd with American and English peo ple and we always meet aoine one to talk to. The weather all through Italy is get tint; very warm and the thermometer j ton 90 in t lie shade at noon. At iVi ■. it is very pleasant though, as we |;t a good breeze from the Adriatic | Sea. which surrounds Venico A of ua have been well right ai ug, j and have nothing to complain about. 1 Tin ' nil is going well at home, and that you are not worrying about us. We are staying right next to St. M irk'.-i <'atht d. y al at St. Marks Square, j and v.i ill you could seo tho pigeons all | around the square. There seems to be j many thousands of them, and all day I lmg people are feeding them. They i are all the same color and so tame that I they liulit on a person's hat or onaper | son's arm and eat out of your hand. I People feed them corn and peas, which | you can buy from venders at one cenf | * bag. V/e are going out this morning to | one of ihe islands to visit the largest j tflass factory in the world, where the ' Venetian Glass is made. The streets i and side canals here are very narrow, so narrow in fact that you can almost reach across and the houses are buiit right up to the water. Don't think anyone has a cellar here as they never j could keep the water out. Linda, one of the islands is fixed up similar to Atlantic City, and people flock there togo in bathing. You don't see any grass or trees around here excepting at "The Gardens", the only park, and flowers thero seem a curiosity. The country from Bologne. where we changed cars coming here, to this place is very level, but from Florence to Bologne it is far from being so, and through that district in travel ling 2'. hours we passed through 48 tunnels, many of them being over three miles long. The mountains around Bologne are very high, and the peaks of them covered with snow, while down in the valley the heat was ter rible. Think I huve told you all that is new just at the present, so will bring this to a close. Trusting all are well, and with fond est love, your daughter, TRESS. Card of Thanks.
