SPRAGUE, WAR |
GOVERNOR. DEAD
Civil War Hero and Rhode
Island Executive Passes
Away in Paris.
Peri?, Sept. 11. William Sprairue.
famous wnr Governor of Rhod" Island,
and tv.'ice Cnited Sta'es Senator from
that state, died at his residence here
early this morning at the n-ja of eighty
four years. His death was due to men?
ingitis coupled with infirmities of age.
At his bedside were his wife and his
old friends, Captain and Mrs. Frank
H. Mason. His granddaughter, Mrs.
Inez Stiness, is expected to rail from
New York to-day.
Simple funeral service? will be held
at the residence in this city, after
which the body will be taken to Rhode
Island for burial.
Mr. Sprairue followed with deep in?
terest the developments of the Euro?
pean conflict, referring frequently to
the cimpai-pis in which he took part
In the Civil War. At the outbreak of
hostilities he converted hir apartment
in the Rue do la Pompe into a con?
valescent hospital for tne wounded of
all nationalities. He was assisted in
the work by his wife, who gave up her
dressing room for aso as a hospital
pharmacy.
Governor Sprague had lived in Paris
?OTeral fasts. He became critically ill
late in 1S10, and his death was ex?
pected, but he became much better, al
thonjrh he continued to be a ?emi
invalid.
Laat of "War Governor?."
William Sprac;iie at the time of his
death was the last of the famous "war
governors." and had lived to an age
;?ttnir.ed by few of them. At the be?
ginning he was the youngest of them
all, and one who most appealed to pop?
ular fancy and enthusiasm Leeauso of
his youth, his wealth, his distinguished
family, his gallant personal bearing, hi?
lealotu (it-votion to the 1'nion c:? ..-e
and, not least, his charming? and brill?
iant young bride. Yet he was doomed
to lose hi? fortune, to lo?e his popular?
ity and, worst of all, to become hope?
lessly alienated from his wife.
The first William Sprairue in this
country established a saw mill and grist
mill on the Pocass.-t River, in Rhode
Island, near the place in later years
known as Cranston. At hi? death he
left what was then a considerable fort?
une. His son and grand?on succeeded
him, developing mi.r.ufacturir.g indus?
trie? culminating in the great Sprague
Print Works. The grandson. Amasa
Sprairue, married Fanny Morgan, and to
them the fourth William Sprague was
born at ? ran ?ton on September 1-,
?Ml, He was named for hi= uncle, who
had made the family powerful in Rhode
Ieland politics, being elected a Repre?
sentative in 1 ?35. Governor in 1*38 and
Senator in 1842.
Young Sprague seas educated at the
Irving Institute, Tarrytown, N. Y., and
then entered the ru?ine?s of nil father
rnd nnelt, of which he became 'he
head. Ho built a big new mill at Bal*
? , ? ! ma le " tu m.-i-.tei beert of all
hi.? eatabllahmenta that they were the
cleanest and most sanitary' in the statu
WILLIAM fPRAGUE.
and second to none in the quality of
their products.
In the winter of '?iO-'nO he r
turnad from a trip to Europe to h
elected Governor by a union of R?
publicans and r'emocrats. In th"
spring of 1KUI he was re-elect-d for
i second lerm.
Nine day.- ?nter Fc?rt Sumter was
fired on. To the first call for troop?,
Rhode Island, through his energy, was
one of the first states to respond, and
as commander in chief of the staU
troops he want himself to tTie front.
At the tragedy of errors known as
Bull Hun he ?vas r?e cf the few un?
der fir?? who distinguished themselve?
by their valor, and he bfcama one of
the popular heroes of the day. A year
later he was again elected for hi?
third term by the practically unani?
mous vote of the state, onlv sixty-five
ballots being east against him.
The next year Mr. Sprague was sent
to the Units?! Btatea Se; ate, and be?
came chairman of the ?'ommittea on
Manufactures, thouirh his time was ;
chiefly .?.pent in vastly extending hi*
own business interests, in Rhode
Island, Maine, South Carolina and
Georgia. In th* f.rst year of his term
he married ?Hfl Katherine Chase,
daughter of Salmon P. i'hase, Fecre
! tary of the Treasury and Chief Justice
! of thi Supreme Court. The Pr?*sl
? dent, the Cabinet, foreirn ministers
and many members of both houses of
! Congress attended the wetldintr, which
: was said to be the moat splendid en!
: costly ever held in the 1'nited State?
! He and his accomplished bride opened
I one of the finest houses in Waihing
i ton and became ?octal leaders there,
i and ho also built at Narragansett
Pier his famous honre, Canonehet, at
1 that time probably the finest seasid"
' residence in the country.
He was re-elected to the Senate for
a ?econd term, and incurred ?ome un
' popularity and reproach by prate'.ng
! in a speech his own industries and ad?
versely criticising ?hose of a rirai f.rm,
' Brown & Ivss. Then evil days beiran
! to dawn. Overexpansion of building
operations left no reserve fund on
: hand with which to meet a ?train, and
in 'he hard times of 1PT3 hi? firm went
! into bankruptcy, with liabilities of $14,
? 000.000.
At th? end of his second t?rm Mr.
! Spragne found it necessary to retire
to private life to ?ave what he could
' from the wreck of his fortune. R it
: hi? efforts were in vain. Everything
went excepting only Canonchet, which
he and his son, with the aid of armed
puards, held stubbornly against legal
attacks.
Meantime Mrs. Sprague, who lived
chiefly in Wa?bington, was having trou?
bles of her own, financial difficulties
threatening to deprive her of her
father's estate of Edgewood. She
: sought the legal and political aid of
' her father's old friends, prominent
amontr them being Roscoe Conkling,
Senator from New York. In 1S79 Mr.
, Conkling called on Mrs. Sprague at
! Canonchet, whither ihe had gone for a
time to aid hnr husbnr.d, and there a
? violent quarrel occurred between him
and Sprague, which led to a rupture be?
tween the latter and his wife. Mr. and
Mrs. Sprague were divorced in 1882.
\ and a lit'.'.* later, in spite of th? nrmca
guards, the courts ordered Canonchet
! to be seid for the benefit of creditors.
It brought 162,260, scare!? 10 p?r cent
of its cost, but Mr. Pprajuc managed
, to keep possession of it.
The next year h? married Mrs. Ines
Culvert, of West Virginia, and then
??stayed a rs-entrance into polities. In
the fall of ISM he ?rss nominated for
?Governor by the Democrats and Inde?
pendents, but was badly defeated. In
1902 Canonchet, whore he still lived,
wa? doctroyed by firs, snd a few years
lator he want to Paris to Hvs. About
, :???(, years ago his health became seri*
ously lmpairtd, and h? never ?atlrcly
' rallied from the invaltdism which then
came on him.

Some Logical Reasons
Why a
BROOKL YfTS BESTKNO WN
PIANO HOUSE J
Is a Consistent Purchase
Thai the use of a ?Piano is a gTeat
benefit in any home is an ac?
knowledged fact.
But to get the Piano best suited
for your particular purpose?one
that will give you honest service
and the highest quality of music
and at a consistent price, requires
an expert experience or a knowl?
edge of the reliability of the in?
strument and the seller.
There are logical reasons why the
Sterling Co.'s product has met the
requirements of the largest num?
ber of homes in Greater New
York and its vicinity.
Established value and reputa?
tion: Over fifty years of manu?
facturing, with the most ad?
vanced methods of the times,
have firml" established the relia?
bility of our Pianos and fixed
a standard of artistic worth ac?
knowledged by the best musi?
cians.
Best adapted to the home:
Sterling Pianos are essentially
home pianos?they are made to
meet the requirements of the
home and always become a neces?
sary part of the home life.
Conservative Prices: The actual
cost to make, plus one fair profit
only, and the price the same to
everyone. While the case designs
are handsome and unexcelled in
finish, they are not too elaborate
to harmonize with the furnishings
of a humble home or too simple to
blend with the artistic setting of
the richest apartment.
We have always spent money
on perfecting the interior rather
than in trying to hide weakness by
an over-expense exterior. It is
volume and sweet lasting tone of
the Sterling that has won its place
in the art world.
?Easy plan of purchase: Any
honest person can buy a piano
of us. A small cash payment and
a simple business-like agreement
to pay us a fixed amount (with?
in your means) every week or
month, gives you all the benefits
of an instrument and our careful
service.
We have Sterlings as low as $325,
1 iuntingtons as low as $300, Men?
delssohns as low as $225, and
other pianos as low as $195, and
Playerpianos from $495 up.
