THE PJTTSBURG- DISPATCH, SUNDAY. OCTOBER 16 189a
ft IN
THE VALLEY OF DEATH.
WEITTZN TOR THE DISPATCH.
The shadow of a great sorrow hangs over
the White House. It gracious and accom
plished mistress won a place in the great
American heart, and the nation's loving
sympathy goes out to the sorrowing hus
band and children. Her sweet womanli
ness has been irom the first the keynote in
the strong character of .Mrs. Harrison, and
it is as a loving, faithful wife, and a tender,
devoted mother that she has been esteemed
of millions, who knew her only by name.
Mrs. Harrison's illness began with a
severe attack of the grip, which she had
some two years ago. 1 the early summer
relief was ainly sought at Cape May and
Deer Park, and in July last, in the hope
that the mountain air might effect a cure,
she was taken to Loon Lake in the Adiron
dacks. But the change did not bring the
relief so eagerly hoped for; her feebleness
increased, and in September, she having
expressed a wish that it should be done, she
was taken back to "Washington. Tne jour
ney from Loon Lake to Washington was a
sad one. The sick lady was accompanied
by her husband, the President, who from
the first has been absent from her side only
when imperative public dnties required it,
by her son, Mr. Uuseell Harrison, and her
daughter, Mrs. McKee.
A Sorron ful Ride in a Decorated City.
The 1'residental party reached Washing
Ion the day alter the great Grand Army
parade, and all ot the public buildings in
"Washington were still decorated in honor
of the visiting veterans. The President did
not ride from the station to the White
House in the family carriage, but rode be
icie the stretcher containing his wife in the
ermy ambulance. Not once during the slow
and lonely ride did he note the decorations
along the way. A few weeks before he had
looked lorward eaerly to taking part in the
reunion of the Grand .Army and inarching
side by side with his old comrades in the
great parade, brt now he was oblivious to
all save the sick woman, whom he married
in his rarly youth, and who all her life has
been a helpmeet to him in the best sense of
the term.
Sirs. Harrison's sick chamber was in the
west wing of the White House, as lar re
moed as possible from all noise and bustle.
Xollowing the return irom Loon Lake there
was lor a few days an apparent change in
her condition; but this was soon shown to
, be only temporary. Day and night the
President has been almost constantly at her
fide. He has spent a few hours in his office
each morning, but during this time has
made frequent v.siis to the sick room. The
only cullers receired by him have been
those whobe business is of the utmost im
portance. Sirs. Harrison is constantly at
tended bv a trained nurse; her' daughter,
Mrs. McKee; her daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Kussell Harrison; and 1 er nieces, Mrs. Par
ker and Mr. Dimmick. Jiussell Harrison
spends most of his time at the White House,
and the Key. Dr. Scott, Mrs. Harsison's
agedtather, is also there. Like that of the
President, the old gentleman's anxiety and
sorrow are distressing to behold. Mrs. Mc
Kee and Mrs. llussell Harrison have now
assumed the duties of mistress of the White
Hous, and each morning receiie a few
friendly callers, but the great n ajority of
their acquaintances do no more than leave a
card of sympathy at tne front door of the
White House.
Mrs. Harrison as a Girl.
Mrs. Harrison's sickness lends a melan
choly interest to the details of her past life.
The President and she hare been lovers and
companions from their earlv youth. Mrs.
.Harrison is by birth a AVestern woman.
Her lather, John W. Scott, was many
years ago a teacher in Miami University, at
Oxford, O., and it was there that the ire
of the President was born. She was
named Caroline Carrie for short and
when she grew up was sent

as this coveted pleasure is denied me I will

on the home with the husband and father
absent. In this letter he says:
Aly dear little children:
Your mother has read you some of my
letters to her, and from them you know that
I am under promise to write to you. Every
day, and many times a day. your papa
thinks about his dear little boy and girl,
and desires o much to see .them. Some
times as you play about the house or in the

of thing: Those were happy days, and wo
hope and pray God that they may come
as-un after the warls over, -and that we may
have many glad, happy times In our nice
little home.
Their Home a Social Center.

son's rise in the political world and increas
ing prosperity in his profession, the home
lite ot the Harrisons became more a pre
tentious, but none the less a happy one.
ing it a pleasant and happy home. She is a
thoroughly domestic woman, with all that
home means very dear to her heart, and her
sweetness and gentleness have all along sof
tened the lot of her husband and her chil
dren. Above all else she has been at all
times the wife and the mother.
Mrs. Harrison united with the church
when she was 14 years of age, and has been
ever since a consistent , church woman.
While in Indianapolis she took an efficient
part in orphan asylum work and other char
itable undertakings, and in Washington
her charities, though unobtrusive, have
been constant and judicious. It should be
added that she comes naturally by her re
ligious and charitable impulses. Both her
father and grandfather were Presbyterian
ministers. The latter, the Key. George"
Scott, lived tor many years in .Northampton
county, Pa., where for services to 'the
Colonial Government he was granted a
large tract ot land. Her father was in his
early days a tutor at Princeton, and a man
of high integrity and unswerving independ
ence of character; his life has been a con
stant example ot devotion to duty. The
loving and tender care he has received from
his daughter in his later years has increased
in no small measure the respect in which
she is held.
Wife of William Henry Harrison.
Reference to the wife of William Henry
Harrison, the grandmother of General Har
rison, and who, 40 years ago, was like the
beloved invalid at Washington, mistress of
the White House, is not out of place here.
Anna Synies Harrison, daughter ot the
noted John Cleves Symes, was a great
beauty in her day. She never lived in the
White House. She hadpurposed going there
a few weeks after her husband was inaugu
rated as President, but he died before the
time came for their journey. She was never
fond of social life, and loved best the do
mestic peace and quiet of the old homestead
at North Bend, O., where her 13 children
grew up to honor and bless her.
She died at the age of 89, full of honors
and years, and now sleeps by the side of her
famo'us husband in the cemetery at North
Bend. The Harrison homestead at North
Bend is now occupied by Mrs. Eaton, the
favorite sister of the President. The latter
is fondly attached to the scenes of bis birth
and boyhood, and" with his wife has often
visited the old home.

ful man who has made aplace in our history,
but to the loving and devoted husband. It
must have been his own wife and home that
the President had in mind when he spoke
thus in Texas in 1891:
It cives me pleasure to come this fresh
morninu into this jrieut State a kinjrdom
without a King, an empire without an Em
perot.a State gigantic in proportions and
matchless in resources, with diversified in
dustries and in flu i to capacities to sustain a
tremendous population, and to biing to
every home, where industry abides, pros
perity and comfort. Such homes, 1 am sure,
are represented here this morning the
A correspondent puts a question of con
siderable interest when he asks how the
sacred Scriptures were preserved, from the
time they were written by the prophets and
Apostles, till they were translated into the
English language in 1611, by order of
James L Tbe books of tbe law were the first
books of the Bible to be collected, by the
priests and leaders of the Israelites; after
the law came the written history of the
people, in the filth century B. C, the col
lection of the prophets by Nehemiah; and
from his time onward the collection of
hagiographa, the Psalms, Proverbs, Job,
Canticles.
All of these had been preserved by the
priests, copied and recopied as occasion re
quired, and circulated in manuscript, as of
course, all writings were circulated in those
days. The dispersion ot the Hebrews, and
their acquisition of other languages and
loss of the Hebrew language, necessitated
the translation of the Scriptures into other
than the Hebrew; and previous to the
second century B. C. what we know as the
Septuagint translation, the LXX., was com
pleted in Greek, designed especially for the
Hebrews living in Alexandria and other
parts of Egypt The Septuagint comes
from a tradition that TO scholars 72 actu
ally made the translation. Translations
and recensions into the Aramaic were also
made; and these translations were copied
from time to time, so that the oldest rcanu
script of the Old Testament now extant is
only about 1,400 years old.
The case is the same with tbe New Testa
ment; it was written again and again, until
now there arc upward of a thousand manu
scripts lor the gospels and as many more
for the rest of the New Testament. The
oldest manuscripts are the Codex Sinaiticus
and the Codex Vatican us. winch date from
the fourth century A. D. So the books of
the Bible were handed down, the old cop
ies always being renewed before they wore
out, the language being Hebrew, Greek,
and after A. D. 300, Latin. The latter, m
the translation adopted by the Koman
Church, and known as the Vulgate, because
commonly used in the Christian churches,
was tbe,first book printed, in 1450-55. As
far hack as the seventh century portions of
the Vulgate were translated into English;
and the early versions by Wicklifle and his
predecessors', by Purvey and others, were
translations from the Vulgate. Tyndale
used Luther's German translation of the
Greek Bible.
The authorized version of King James
was made by 47 scholars and blushed in
1611; the manuscripts, so far as accessible,
were consulted, the translators not restrict
ing themselves to the Vulgate, but going to
the Hebrew and Greek whenever they
could.
By how many votes did Jefferson beat
Burr In the House of Kepiesentatives in
1S00T E. H. C.
There being a tie vote in the Electoral
College between Jefferson and Burr, under
the Constitution the election of President
and Vice President went to the House of
Representative', where the election was by
States. Thirty-five ballots were taken with
out result. On the thirty-sixth ballot, the
second ballot of the day, February 17, 1800,
Jefferson received the vo'es of 10 States,
one more than the number necessary to
elect, and was declared choson. He got
the votes of Vermont, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina. Georgia. Kentucky and
Tennessee. Burr was supported by New-
Hampshire, .Massachusetts, unoae island
and -Connecticut Delaware and South
Carolina cast blank ballots.
Where are the headquarters of tho Nica
ragua Canal Loinpuujt J. J. T.
The chief office of the Nicaragua Canal
Construction Company, which is building
the canal, is at 44 Wall street, New York
City. The canal company is the Maritime
Canal Company. The canal is to run from
Grevtown, on the Atlantic side, through
Lake Nicaragua, to San Juan on the Pacific,
and will be 169.4 miles long: it will have
only three locks: and it is estimated that f
vessels will pass through in 26 hours.
Who wrote the song "Dixie?" Leiori.
The author and origin of the song are
said to be unknown. According to the ac
cepted story Dixie, or Dixy, was a land
owner and slave-holder on Manhattan
Island at a time when slavery was allowed
in New York. For some reason he sold
many of his slaves to Southerners; either
his slaves increased faster than his land did
or the anti-slavery feeling made him anx
ious to dispose of his chattels. In the
South his former slaves, working in the
fields, looked back on their home in New
York as to a Paradise and compared their
new condition to the time when they were
in "Dixie's land." So early in this cen
tury the refrain of "Dixie's land" was
known all through tbe South and was taken
to be ot Southern origin, although the
Southerners disclaimed it and asserted that
it was "an indigenous Northern refrain."
During the war it became familiar to everyone.
What is tho real "Harvest Moon." and
why is it so called? Assa.
The Harvest Moon is the moon which
fulls about the time of the autumnal equi
noxthat is, in September. The name is
of British origin, aud is more applicable in
Great Britain than with us, for our harvest
comes earlier. Besides, the moon with us
is not "ten nights full," as tradition says
it is in Great Britain.

to school in the girls' college ot the town.
Those who knew her in her girlhood de
scribe her as quiet and demure, with a
petite form and a face ideally beautiful.
In those days her hair t as black and her
complexion dark. As mistress of the
White House she has been known as a
beautiful woman.
It was while at school at Oxford that
Caroline Scott met Benjamin Harrison.
She fell in love with the quiet, modest,
studious youth, and her love was fully
reciprocated. Before either was 21 they
had married, settled in lite and their first
baby had been born. In the early days of
General Harrison's career at the bar his
wife was of the greatest help to him, and
he has often paid that she was "half his cap
ital." She did her own cooking and house
work and aided her husband in many
wavs. Alter eight years of happy mar
ried life Fort Sumter was fired on, and
then life for the young couple began in
dreadful earnest The husband went to the
Jront as Colonel of an Indiana regiment,
while the wife remained behind, keeping
house alone with her two children. Only
once did the husband return home on a brief
ea e ot absence. On this occasion he found"
Iiis son very ill with typhoid fever, but the
crisis of the disease had not been reached
when his furlough expired and he was
forced to leave his wife alone to watch the
outcome of the battle between life and
death. Twice she went with her children
to the front to see their father. When
Sherman's army left Nashville and started
for Atlanta, General Harrison marched at
tl.e head of his brigade, while the wife
ami children returned to the lonely home
-in Indianapolis.
Letters Written In War Times.
A letter which General Harrison wrote to
his wife from Nashville in Oct'-Ser, 1883,
gives a touching insight into tl relations
that existed between them. Ir letter
he wrote:
They had, at different times, several homes
in Indianapolis. The one which they left
when they removed to Washington three
years ago, stands on North Delaware street,
in one of the prettiest parts of the city.
Those who had the good fortune to visit it
say that in the best sense of the word it was
a home from cellar to attic, all the rooms
permeated with the life of a home-loving
family. The furniture with which it was
furnished was rich but not gaudy or formal.
The Harrison home was Jong one of the cen
ters ot the social world of Indianapolis.
The son find daughter, before they married,
often entertained their friends, and many
receptions were given there
Alter the children married and left home,
the hospitality of the household was fre
quently exhibited in little dinner parties,
among tbe guests being, as a rule, the law
partners of the General. Thev dinner was
usually an unpretentious taffair without
wine, and tbe evening was passed in con
versation. When the General.and his wife
were alone they generallvdevoted the even
ing to reading in the library. Mrs. Har
rison was always an early riser, and
managed the affairs of her household very
carefully, leaving little to her servants.
Three times a week she made an early morn
ing visit to market. When Eu'sell Har
rison and Mrs. McKee visited ,home their
children claimed much of the grandmother's
attention. She bathed tirom each morning,
and played with them all .through the day
when there was not something else to im
peratively claim her.attcntion. .
Accomplished in Many Ways.
Mrs. Harrison is an accomplished woman
in more ways than one, aud ever since her
girlhood has taken a warm interest in art
She essayed oil painting for-a. time, often
with considerable success;- and later, she
tried water colors, and many of the paint
ings which decorateoTthelndianabolis home
reflcpt great credit upon her., She always
made it a practice to see each visitor who
called upon her, and was never known to
show irritation or annovance. ; She was al
ways a fashionable dresser, but never
adopted the extremes in "anything-
Until tbe illness of Mrs. Harrison, life at
the White House -followed a carefully pre
scribed routine. Breakfast was served at 8
and luncheon at 1:30 P. 'Lt At the latter
meal there were usually some guests present
in a w holly informal manner. In the after
noon for an hour or two Mrs. Harrison re
ceived in the Bed Boom the friends who
came by appointment, and 'who , gener
ally had some friend or relative to' present
to her. Later in the, afternoon shewent for
a drive, sometimes with the President and
at others with her daughter,' Mrs. McKee,
and the latter's children. Occasionally,, in
the afternoon, she gave an hour 6r .two to
china painting. Dinner was "served at 6:30,
aud it was seldom that the family dined
alone, one or two fiendsbeingnearly al
ways present. Evenings out of "the sea
son" at the White House were , usually de
voted to her husband and grandchildren,
aud an occasional . visit to the theater, ot
which she is a erv fond. "When Mrs. Harri
son received callers in ' the evening the
President often came from his room and
helped her to entertain them in a delight
fully informal way.. . ''"
Tho Influence of Sirs. Harrison.
It is a gracious and refining influence
which Mrs. Harrison has "brought to the
White House. There have, been former
mistresses whose 'regime has been more
brilliantly successful in a social' way; but

What was the date of thellaymaiket riots
In Chicago? it.
The riots began on May 3, 1886, and cul
minated during the evening of May 4. A
strike had begun on Saturday, May 1, to ob
tain an "eight hour day;" the day passed
peaceably; but on Monday many of the la
borers who had obtained that "day" mobbed
tbe men employed in the McCormick Reap
er Work3, accusing themLof not having in-"
sisted on the eight hour day. The police
were sent for, shots were fired, and a dozen
of the mob were injured. The next evening
a meeting i as held in the Haymarket, an
open place at the junction of Des Plaincs
and Itandolph streets, "to denounce the
latest atrocious act ot the police, tbe shoot
ing of our fellow-workmen." The rain made
the attendance slight; August Spies and Al
bert K. Parsons spoke mildly, but Samuel
Fielden made a violent speech, in the midst
of which the police charged the meeting.
Fielden got down from the cart which
served as the speakers' stand, and said to
the police captain, "We are peaceable." At
that instant a bomb was thrown, falling
among the police, wounding 60 of tbem and
killing seven. The police fired, killing aud
wounding many of the mob.
The trial of the arrested men began in
June; three weeks were spent in gettinza
jury, and the actual trial began on July 15.
The jury retired on August 19 and returned
August 20 with a verdict of guilty against
Spies, Schwab, Fielden, Parsons, Fischer,
Engel and Liugg, whom they sentencd to
death, and Nee be, whom they sentenced to
15 years imprisonment. The case was ap-
peaieu; dui on oepieinoer i, laei, the Su
preme Court of Illinois affirmed the con
viction. Application was made to the Su
preme Court of the United States for a w rit
ot error; but it was refused unanimously.
Lingg, Engel, Fischer and Parsons refused
to beg for their lives, but demanded their
liberty as a right; Spies, Fieldtn and Schwab
asked for mercy. On November 10 the Gov
ernor ot Illinois commuted the punishment
of Fielden and Schwab to life imprisonment
The same day Lingg exploded a fulminate
cartridge in his mouth, killinc himself, and
on November 11, 1887, Spies, Fischer, Engel
and Parsons were hanced.
In speaking of alphabets the other day
ou called the Chorokeo alphabet the most
recent; whcie can I get a book in that
language? St. James.
At Tahlequah. the capital town of the
Cherokee nation, is a newspaper printed in
Cherokee and English; the American Bible
Society issue a Bible in Cherokee; and we
presume that various books in Cherokee
may be obtained, perhaps through the post
master at Tablequ an.

union bad a silver standard; hut some 18
years ago it ceased to coin silver, and now,

"There arc but few people who have not
experienced the exquisite torture of the
dentist's chair, eitlier under the painful
operation of bavins a tooth extracted or the
still moie dreaded and tortuous process of
bavins the teetu filled," said Dr.l.a. Wanga
maii, the well-known Peim avenue dentist,
to a reporter yesterday, "and it is easy to ac
count tor the well known diead that Keeps
tne people awav from the deutistVlicn they
need dental viorkdoneln the worst way.
"My experience as a dentist," continued
Dr. Vausj.traan, "lias been a constant leach
fuis out and effort to discover some process
outside ot the n ell-known and lmiraful anes
thetics, such as ether, cbloiofoim, gas, etc ,
by which teeth could be extracted or pre
paied and filled without pain, and atter
years or study and experiment, 1 can say,
without exaggeration or fe.ir of contradic
tion, that I have made a most wonderiul
diicoveiy, and one destined to revolutionize
the ordinal y opeiatious of dentisti y.
"Jlynew method of prepaiimr the most
sensitive tcetli for fllllnr, without pain, ith
perfect safety to the tooth, and to the abso
lute satisfaction of tbe patient, has the
merit, while civing the most perfect lcsnlts,
of being perfectly harmless in every way.
While pain cannot exist where it is used, it
has no detrimental or uisagireable attei ef
lects, and leaves no shattered nerves to
wotry and distract the patient.
"As it is applied directly to the tooth while
tho cavity is being piep.ired, and in several
cases whcio the most cxtieme sensitiveness
prevuileu, that rueroly wiping out the cavity
with cotton was much moiepaintul than the
drilling out of the cavity wus when the
piocess was applied, making it entirely pain
less, and where I also havo extracted the
living tiervo Horn the tooth by this process
without tho patient feeling the slightest
pain.
"Another "reason w hy so many rervous
people will endure n gieat deal of pain and
discomfort fioui dec lyod teeth nitlierthan
have them filled is tho thought that when
they once srat themselves in tho dentist's
chair to have their teeth operated upon,
they must endure all the pain, no matter
how great, that comes fiom drilling around
the teeth. To oveicome this difficulty I
have had an attachment fitted to my engine
Uoia which extends a cord that is held by
mo patient, uy pmung wincii tne urni is in
stantly stopped ir tho slightest pain is felt.
It sometimes happens that while a patient
is undergoing a long and very tedious opera
tion on the teeth that the eflect of the nro
ccss used will gradually wear out and'the
nerves rezain their usual sensitiveness while
tho putient is still fit the chair, but in nil
such cases the pain that would necessarily
result is felt only for an instant us tho
Mightest pull upon the cold held by the
patient suffices to stop tlm di ill at once.
"Thus, jou see," continued the doctor, "I
bavo tried to provide for every possible
emergency, and I think I have succeeded In
evety lespoct. It is arnncli greater satisfac
tion for me to operate on a person's teeth
now than it wasnfler the old and cruel
system, while I know tho patient appre
ciates the chango much more than I do. I
may say in conclusion that I have the sole
knowledge a.nd control of my new process
and that I will bo the only dentist to use it
in this city or county. I shall use my new
process in all my ordinary practices, so that
all who call upon me to Have- their tocfli
operated upon or extracted will be sure to
lecelve the benefit ot it and count most con
fidently upon suffering lib pain whatever."
