VOL. LXV. THE LAST SCENE. MAJORITY. The Presidents Wife Away. With Patience and Resignation She Awalted The Summons. Passes Mrs, Harrison is no more. At 1.40 Tuesday morning came the end. For the second time in the history of the within its walls, Mrs. Harrison met with death the patience and resignation of a vout Christian and her last days were comparatively free from pain. For twenty-four hours the president and family had been almost constantly at her bedside awaiting the end. Mon- day night was without special inci- dent, but late and early, so frequently that he could have slept but little, if at all—-the president was in and out of the sick chamber and was never away for any length of time. At half past ten Mcnday morning Mrs. Harrison was still living, but was so feeble that the only evidence of life was the feeble pulse and light breath- ing. She is just alive and that is all. Her room is the one in which Garfield lay for many lingering days before be- ing taken to Elberon. There are win- dows to the south overlooking the Po- tomic and to the west. She lies motionless on her side, ing the southern windows, but does not appear to notice anything. The scene before her is one which in her health afforded her great pleasure, and which she has sketched with pencil. At noon Mrs. Harrison was still con- scious. A little before that the presi- dent, leaning over her asked her if she wished for anything. With the old time smile she answered, low, but very distinetly: “Nodear.” Atoneo’clock as he left the house Dr. Gardner that he did not think more than four or five hours remained for Mrs. Harri- son. The Doctor returned to his patient about noon and found her even er than before, completely prostrated and unable longer to speak or to cough. Apparently she conscious, There was little change during the afternoon but every change was for the worse and the watchers fearful that death would ensue about sun- down. From four o'clock until well nigh into the evening the president and all the members remained unceas- ingly. For ten hours up to the moment of Mrs. Harrison's death the president sat by her side, seemingly unconscious of all surroundings except the presence of the beloved patient. During that time he spoke not a word, and the only movement he made was to get up once and walk in an absent minded way across the room and then back to hi seat by the bedside. His mind seem- ed to be tracing back the winding way of years to the days of the schoolboy love with which started a long life of domestic happiness, At midnight the striking the clock aroused him for an instant. He looked up as if awakened from a dream. “What hour was that?’ he asked. When told it was twelve, his head sank again and he said, “I thought it was but ten.” Tears came to the eyes of all present, but he did not notice this. His silent, motionless watch continued until the last moments. Just before the last spark of life went out Mrs. Harrison opened her eyes and moved them slowly around the room as if looking for some one, yet almost sightless fwhen her eyes rested on her with de- fac- said weak- almost was were w of a slight expression of recognition was apparent, then the eyes closed.
