ESTABLISHED 1827.
FOR DYSPEPSIA,
Aycr's Sarsaparilla
Is an effective remedy, as numerous testlmo.
nials conclusively prove. "For two years
I was a oonsuuit sufterer from dyspepsia
and liver complaint. 1 doctored a Ions;
time and th medicines prescribed, in nearly
every ease, only aggravated the disease.
An aK)th-cary advised me to use AVer's
Hircaparilla. I did so, and was cured
at a cost ot S3, binca tliat time it has
been my family medicine, and sickness has
become a stranger to our household. I
telieve it to be the best medicine on earth."
. McSulty, Ilackoian, 23 Summer sL,
Lowell, Mass.
FOR DEBILITY,
Aycr's Sarsaparilla
Is a certain eure. w hen the complaint origi
nates in impoverished blood. " I was a
great sufferer from a low condition of the
Mood and genemi debility, becoming finally,
so reduced that I was unfit for work. Noth
ing that I did for the complaint helped mo
so much as Ayer's Sarsaparilla, a few bottles
of which restored me to health and strength.
I take every opportunity to recommend this
medicine in similar cases." C. Lvicic, U E.
Main St., t'hillicoUie, Ohio.
FOR ERUPTIONS
And all disorders originating in impurity of
the blood, such as boils, carbuncles, pimples,
blotches, salt-rheum, scald-head, scrofulous
sores, and the like, take only

The End Comes in Calm and
Sweet Repose-
Mil la tb Cimater of
Beautiful Tributes and Sketches of Mrs.
Harrison's Domestic and
Social Life.
Wash inc. ros, 1. C., O.-tober 23. Mrs.
llarrisjn ia no more. At 1,40 a. m. came
the end.
For the second time in the history of
the White 1 1 use a President's wifj has
died withiu its walls.
.Mrs Harrison mot death with" the
patience and resignation of a devout
Christian, au-l her last days were com
lartively free from pain.
For twenty-four hoars the President
and fatuiiy had been almost constantly at
her bedside, awaiting the end. l.ir-t
night was without special incident, but
late and early, so freiu(intly that he
could have slept but little at all, the
President was in and out of the sick
chamber and was never away t jr any
length of time.
As the ni-ht waned and the gray light
of Monday morning ttpread over the earth
the vital fjree of Mrs. Harrisoa was at
the lowest ebb, and the President s anx
iety became so acute that ho felt the
need of some s.ssurance, no matter of
what character, from medical authority.
o a messenger was dispatched to the
home of Dr. Gardner and the physician
juickly restanded, reaching the White
House at 7 o'clock. lie found the pa
tient in a condition to warrant the gravest
apprehensions, and so hopeless was LU
report that the President nesired Lim to
remain in the White House Ijr a time.
Dr. Gardner accordingly remained and
BREAK! ASTED WITH TIIE FAMILY.
At 9 o'clock it appeared that the sing
le for lifa was to be prolonged for some
hours at lotust, and tlie doctor left the
White Huuv, after giving the family the
small grain of comfort to be found in the
statement that Mrs. Harrison might live
until the sunlight begin to fade into the
shadows of the evening. The day was
clear and crisp the inspiring sunshine
and the dryness of the atmosphere had
somewhat helped the invalid and acted
as a stimulant. She was lying on her
back, and whenever she awoke from her
troubled and un.alisfactoiy sleep she
was conscious. he could etill recognize
her surroundings and a glance of recogni
tion greeted the physician when he
entered the sick room this morning. The
fatal coub'h was present, but naturally ia
tlie enfeebled state of the invalid it was
not pronounced.
Ijtrly in the morning there wa? a
revival iu the popular interest in Mrs.
Harrison's condition. Many of the
Bureau chiefs and other employes of the
Executive I Vpartmen went out of their
way to enter the White Hotwe grouJs

condition of the patient, and the watch
men ut the door were kept bu?y answer

called tarly and saw Mr. Ilaiford. So
did Mr. De Struyve, the Kuusian Minis
ter; Minister Grip, of Sweden; Rev.
Dr. Hamlin, the family pastor: Assistant
Secretary Grant and Indian Commiss
ioner Morgan.
Mr. llalford himself had been admitted
to the sick room in the day, so that he
was prepared
TO UESCnr.iETIIE MTl'ATION.
Oas of his first acts was to telegraph a
statement of the case to Secretary. liusb,
who is in Wisconsin, and Secretary
F.ikin", now in Wet Virginia, and sug
gest their speedy return to Washington.
The other absent members of the Cabi
net were not telegraphed Ir because
tl.ey are eij-etted to icturn today or to
morrow Dr. Gardner saw Mrs. Harrison again
at 2 o'clock this afternoon, and found
that she was even weaker than when he
visited ber aliout an Lour before, Sha
was then almost eomplotely prostrated,
ar.d was r.o longer able to speak, to cough
cr to swallow, ar.d therefore was unable
to take either gtitnnlant or nourishment
of any kind. The doctor again referred
to the remarkable vitality displayed by
the patient, and said she had already
Burvivttd a greater number of critical
conditions than any other patient he had
ever attended.
About 0 o'clock Private Secretary Hal
ford said that Dr. Gardner had stated
that Mis. Harrison might live until 8
o'clock, fcbortly afterward advices were
reived bv wire at the White House
that a story had originated in the West
that Mrs. Harrison was dead. It gradu
ally worked its way F-ast, aad in a short
time several telegrams of condolence
were rweived. Mr. Mon gomery, in
charge cf the telegraph department, im
mediately answered the mtrsa.es to the
effect that there was no truth in the sto
ry, and its cira.ilation was premature. At
7 o'clock a mMege was received from
John X. Scott, Mrs. Harrison's brother,
stating he would leave Por. Townsend,
Wash., at once. The family had been
endeavoring to reach Mr. Scott, who is
Mrs. Harrison's only brother, since Sat
urday, but had been unable to locate
him until to-day. He bad been absent
raoMaouson business.
It will be impossible for him to reach
here before Friday or SaturJay. The
night paaaed slowly for the grief stricken
watchers. The patient was restless ana
nervous, with small flactantions in con
dition that did not range far on either
sid from the general average of extreme
depression and exhaustion.
Th terrible net tous strain on those
who watch without hope and despairing
nation was vsrv apparent. As the
n:tht waned and the trray light of Mon
day morning spread over the earth the
nf Mrs. Harrison was at its
lowest ebb, and the President's anxiety
became so acute that be felt the need of
eome assurance, no matter of what char
acter, from medical authorities. So a
messenger was dispatched to the home
of Dr. Gardner and the physician quick
Herald
ly responded, reacting the White House
at 7 o'clock. He found the patient in a
condition to warrant
THE GRAVEST A I PREHENSIONS.
Dr. Gardner accordingly reaiatnedand
breakfasted with the family. At 9 o'clock
it appeared that the struggle for life was
to be prolonged for some hours at leaM,
and the doctor left the White House af
ter giving the family the small grain of
comfort to be found in the statement that
Mrs. Harrison might live until the sun
light began to fade into the shadows of
evening. The day was clear and crisp
and cool, and perha, s the inspiring sun
shine and the dryness of the aticosphere
had somewhat helped the invalid and
acted as a stimulanL She was ly ing on
her back, and whenever she awoke from
her troubled and unsatisfactory sleep she
was conscious. Shecould still recognize
ht r surrounding', and a jjance of recog
nition greeted the physician when he en
tered the sick room this morning. The
fatal cough was present, but naturally, in
the enfeebled state of the invalid, it was
pronounced. Eirly in the morning
there was a revival in tlie popular inter
est in Mrs. Harrison's condition. Many
of thbureau chiefs and other employes
of the F.xecutive Iepartmeiit went out
of their way to enter the White House
grounds aad ak for information regard
ing the condition of the patient, and the
watchmen at the door
n ET.E KE1T Ul'Y
Answering (jtierrtions. The Russian Min
ister called early to inquire after her
condition, so did Dr. Hartnan, the fami
ly minister. Mr. Haiford had been ad
mitted to the sick room early in the day,
so that Le was prepared to describe the
situation. One of his first acta was to tel
egraph a statement cf the case to Secre
tary Rusk, who is in Wisconsin, and Sec
retary Elkins, now in Wtt Virginia, and
suggest their speedy return to Washing
ton. The other members of the Cabinet
were not telegraphed for because they
are expected to return during to-day and
to-morrow. The clerks were at their
desks at the White II 'ise during the
day, but it was painfuliy apparent that
li.ey were sorely oppressed by the gener
al gloom, and they performed their du
ties iu a trftinctory manner. Dr. Gard
ner was at the patient's bedside during
the entire forenoon. He went away two
or three times to attend to othet profes
sional duties, but at no one time was be
absent more than half an hour.
When asked about her condition be
frankly admitted that death was very
near, and that, remarkable as Mrs. Har
rison's vitality was, he did not see how
she could live for more than a few hours
Mrs. Harrison at noon time was still
conscious. A little before that the Presi
dent, leaning over her, asKed if she wish
ed for anything. With, the old-time
smile that death only
MAXES MOKE TENDER
And trustful, she answered, low but dis
tinct: "So, dear."
At 1 o'clock Dr. Gardner said he did
not think that more than four or five hours
of life remained lor Mrs. Harrison He said
thai most of the time she ws in a s!et py
uncontrcious condition, from which she
occasionally rallied. During the moments
of wakefulness she recognized thoe
around her and some times nsponded,
feebly, but clearly and intelligently so
infants u.adc.
The doctor said that his eiTorts were
devoted .sjlely to making his patient as
comfortable as possible in her dying
Lours. She could not take nourishment
ofanv kind, and fre.;ntr.t application of
a stimulating moisture to her j arched ,
lips was the only treatment that atlorded
any relief.
The doctor returned to h;s patient
ab-mtnoou andfouaJ her even weaker
than before, almoat completely prostrat
ed and unable to speak or cough.
Appraently she was consci us. There
was little change during the al.erao ja,
but every change was for tin worse aa l
the watchers were feartul tUii. oea.a
would ensue about Btindow n.
Secretaries John W. Foster. Rusk and
Eikius telegraphed to the President in
response to his message of the morning
abort I Mrs. Harrison's condition that they
would return to Washington immediate
ly. A number of messages of condolence
were also received. From 0 o'clock un
til well into the evening the President
aud all the members of the family re
mained unteaeinjjly at Mis. Harrison's
bedside.
As the day waned and the unclouded
sua sink behind the Western bills, east
ing rapidly lengthening shad a across
the While House laau, the anxiety of
the watchers became
MORE AMI HOSE INTENSE.
The persons about the bed moved
stealthily across the halls and tese!uled
floors and dropped their voices into
whispers when they spoke, even though
far out of earshot of tne stricken woman
who lay rjtietiy and with resignation
awaiting the Ust call. The shadows
detuned, the sun sann to rest, the ntgat
came and in the South the new uoun
showed her sickle in the sky. and yettne
end was not.
The physician's visits were more fre
quent, aud whenever he cau.e from the
skk-chaaiber he brought the same re
ports, that the patient was as near death
as she could be and still live, that so-
mishi exiat aa hour or two. So Lie
employes in the buslaets portion of the
house, whose wor was Uone, ana w no
might have gone home, lingered in their
rooms and as time ran oa and the cathe
dral gocg of the clock ia the clerk's oflioe
told each passing half hour a silence
would fil upon thttn and no one spoke.
Absolute dejection and that wretched
ness which results from o a lack of ho4e
were pictured on each count-nance.
At the supper hour the meal was
spread npon the table, and one by one
the watchers snatched a few moments.
TO USEE A 1 1 .VST T BEIlT.
It could hardly be said that the patient
was unconscious during the evening
hours, when she did not betray some
sign f understanding, the sympathetic
efforts to save her by opening her parch
ed lips for the stimulating fluid applied
from time to time, but not a drop could
she swallow, and the power apparently
left her frame forever. In addition the
physician s experienced eye noticed that
as evening wore on an increase in the
difficulty of breathing, which waa regard
ed as an ominous sign.
Among those who called during the
evening were Secretaries Tracy and Xo-
WHOLE NO. 2153
ble, who haT returned from Chicago:
Judge Pete, Colonel Ernest, Ex-Surgeon-General
Brown, of the army, together
with members of the Diplomatic Corps
and the Rev. Dr. Hamlin and Mrs. Ham
lin, of the Churc h of the Covenant, which
President Harrison and his wife have
attended.
Hour af.er hour slipped away, each
leaving the patient weaker in turn ; yet
so gral aal was the decline that it could
not be said positively at any minute that
her condition had materially changed.
The measure of the ebbing ti le was the
respiration, which slowly sank from
about 13 at nightfall to 12 at midolghL
The physician had said that if she tided
over that hour she might and probably
would survive nutil daylighL So fre
quent glances were cast at the clock
which was steadily ticking away the life
time of the iiva'id and there was a visi
ble air of relief when tlie gong sounded
12, and one critical point was supposed to
have been passed.
The hope inspired by the doctor's last
statement was only cf short duration.
About 12o0 o'clock, while he sat by Mrs.
Harrison ' side with Cngsr lightly press
ed to her pulse, his practiced hand notic
ed that the heart's work was begining to
cease. He notified the grief-stricken fam
ily grouped around the couch that the
end appeared to be very near, and that
uuletts she soon rallied from the stupor
into which she then was drifting she
could scarcely live half an hour longer.
This intelligence had a most depressing
effect upon the President, who had been
in constant attendance npon his alllicted
wife for over nine hoars, and be snstaia
ed himself with the greatest difficulty.
If it were poible to add to the gravi
ty of the situation and to stimulate the
agonized apprehension of the sorrowing
family gathered about the scarcely ani
mated form of the
BELOVEO Wire AND MrlUlL
The results were attained when Dr.
Gardner, after narrowly examining coun
tenance and feeling the pulse of the dy
ing woman, sorrowfully announced that
all the indicationsjustified the belief that
she could not survive more than half an
hour.
This was at 12. o'clock. The minatea
paed with frightful rapidity; the half
hour passed; then came l.-io aad all
was oter.
Mrs. flarrison was dead.
Funny Marriages.
Some funny stories are told about the
marriage service. One ofthetn relates
how an old man, brought rather unwill
ingly to the altar, could not be induced
to repeat the responses. fcMy gd man,"
at length exclaimed the clergyman, "I
really cannot marry you unless yoa do as
yon are told." But the man still remaiced
silent. At this unexpected hitch the
bride lost all patience with her future
spouse and burst out with, "Go on ; yoa
old toot 1 Say it after him just the same
as if you was mock in him." The same
ditlicuity occurred in another case : The
clergyman, after explaining what was
necessary and going over the responses
several times without the smallest effect,
stopped in dismay, w hereupon the bride
groom encouraged Lim with, "Go ahead,
passiu, go ahead 1 thou'rt doin' bravely."
I'p-jn another oocadoa i: was, strangely
enough, the woman who could not be
prevailed upon to speak. When the
clergyman re:noa!rated with her she in
dignantly replied : "Your father married
me twice before, and he wasn't axia me
any of them impereat questions at all."

-WONDERFUL BROADWAY.
BY WALrar.'tt rLLMAS.
This broad way in a reiuirkable thor
oughfare. It is Now York. Many thou
sands of people virtually live on Broad
way, rarely going farther from it than to
Fifth avenue on theeastior Sixth avenue
on the wesL It is their world. I speak
now of the n; town Broadway, from
Twenty-third to Forty-second street
about two miles.
This main street of the Dutch village
of ew York 'siarta at the lower end cf
the Island at. the Battery. There are
the shipping otlices, headquarter of the
steamers lines. Then comes oihce build
ingstwo or three of them as fine as a
score to be. seen ia Chicago insurance
offices, banks. Thenthe postotlice, Print

this the dry goods districL
For two miles Broiday ia a commer
cials Palestine. Xinety-nine signsoutof
a hundred bear Hebraic names, many of
them names which is symbolic of great
wealth, business probity, g'Kxl ciliicu
ship. It is remarkable, how everything
h is become spt-ciaiized in this region of
trade. Taere arete general dry g ls
or clothing houses. One handiess hat
trimming, another corsets, attiir lstra
frames, a fourth hosiery, a tit'th suspend
ers, a sixth artificial lljwar. Men and
women's wear is sub divided a tlio'aaand
times, each article being the solestcck ia
trade cf one or a dozen or a hundred
booses. Cue is amazed to see a six story
building devoted wholly to merchandis
ing iu butler.
Br"aday is very commercial for these
two miles. Nearly ail the houses are
wholtstle. There are no alleys in the
rear or at the sides of building, and the
rec-iving and shipping is all done ou
the frout side-waiks. The street is pack
et 1 with '.rucks, and it is abciit all pedes
triaa or vehicle can do to et through.
Tne iost time in aingle year would de
fray the expenses of cutting ailevs for
shipping purposes. But to have alleys
for the facilitation of commerce would
not bo like New York. There are many
alleys in town, but all have been made
streets of.
At Fourteenth street cue enters the
shopping quarter. For three blocks east
and west is the pretense of having in the
tiwn some streets besides Broadway.
The same thing occurs haif a mile father
up, at Twenty-third street. For a short
distance, where it is very near Bn ad nay
Fifth avenus takes on some shopping im
portance. Hut these are ail the diver
gences there are worth mentioning.
Everything else is Broadway.
Take this thoroughfare out of New
York, and there wouIJa t be enough left
to make a Kansas Ci'.y. Broadway to
New York is what Main street is to tlie
country town. Northward and a little t
the west sweeps this great thoroughfare.
At Harlem, ten miles from the Battery,
it is still ail .important. They tell lue it
rins twenty miles farther into the coun
try, lined with roadhou.sts, suburban set
tlements, villas and occasional stores.
So i;n;-ortant is Broadway as a metro
