Indianapolis, Ind., March 14. —General Harrison died at 4:40 yesterday afternoon ■without regaining consciousness. His death was quiet and painless. The gradual failing of strength became more notice able in the afternoon, and a few moments before the end there was an apparent breakdown. Not one of General Harrison's children was at the deathbed. Neither Colonel Rus sell Harrison nor Mrs. McKee had reached the city. Elizabeth, the little daughter, was taken from the sickroom by the nurse. The group at the bedside included Mrs. Harrison. W. H. H. Miller, Samuel Miller, his son; the Rev. M. L. Haines, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, which Gen eral Harrison had attended for so many years; Secretary Tibbett, Drs. Jameson and Dorsey, Colonel Dan Ransdall, ser geant-at-arms of the United States sen ate, and a close personal friend of the ex-president; Clifford Arrick, the two nurses and General Harrison's two sisters and his aunt. One of the most pathetic incidents of his illness occurred Tuesday, before* he be came unconscious. His little daughter, Elizabeth, was brought into the sickroom for a few moments, and offered her father a little pie which she had made. General Harrison smiled his recognition of the child and her gift, but the effort to speak was too much end he could do nothing more to express his appreciation. In his semi-conscious condition, he be gan to speak of the Boers and their hope less struggle for national life. The listen ers bending over him could hear words of pity for the dying farmer republic. BENJAMIN HARRISON Sketch of the Twenty-third Presi dent of the United State*. Benjamin Harrison, twenty-third president of the United States, was born Aug. 20, 1833, at North Bend, Ohio. His father was John Scott Harrisou, son of William Henry Har rison, ninth president of the United States, who was the son of Benjamin Harison, one of the signers of the declaration of inde pendence from Virginia. ■Benjamin Harrison's early education was received under private instruction at home. His first school was College Hill, near Cin cinnati, and he was graduated from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, in 1852. He studied law with Storer & Gwynne in Cincinnati. He was admitted to the bar in 1854, and bd gan practice in Indianapolis, which was thereafter his home. Soon after he was ap pointed crier of the federal court at $2.50 a day, which was the first money he earned. Jonathan W. Gordon, one of the leaders of the Indianapolis bar, called young Harri son to help in the prosecution of a burglary case. Harrison was to make the plea for the state. The case was closed at night, and the courtroom was lighted only by candles, so that Harrison was unable to read the elabor ate notes he had prepared. He laid them aside and talked entirely from memory, mak ing an eloquent plea, which produced a marked impression and won the case. After that he always talked without notes. Mr. Harrison's entry into politics was in 1860, when he was elected reporter of the state supreme court. While he was away at war, the democrats considered the position vacant and elected a successor, but in 1864, when he returned from the war, Harrison was again chosen, for the place. War Record. General Harrison's war record was notable. He was in command of the Seventieth In diana ■wjaen it marched toward Bowling Green during the Bragg scare in southern Ohio and Indiana. His regiment was in the campaign under General Sherman against General Jo seph E. Johnston. At Resaca, Ga., General Harrison, then in command of a brigade, was one of the first, if not the first, to cross the parapet In storming the southern redoubt. When the Peach Tree Creek fight was over, General Hooker wrote as follows to Wash ington: My attention was first attracted to the young officer by the superior excellence of his brigade, in discipline and instruction, the result of his skill and devotion. With more foresight than I have ever witnessed in an officer of his experience, he seemed to act upon the principle that success depended upon thorough preparation in discipline and esprit of his command for conflict, more than on any influence that could be exerted on the field itself, and when collision came his command vindicated his wisdom as much as his valor. In all the achievements of the twentieth corps in that campaign, Colonel Harrison bore a conspicuous part. At the close of the war Harrison was bre vetted brigadier general for "ability and manifest energy and gallantry in command of the brigade." General Harrison refused a nomination for supreme court reporter in 1867, and resumed general law practice. He took an active part in the presidential campaigns of 1868 and 1872, stumping in Indiana. In 1876 he was the re publican nominee for governor, and although be ran ahead of his ticket, he was defeated. He refuaed President Garfleld's tender of a place in the cabinet, preferring to represent Indiana in the United States senate. He was senator from 1881 to 1887. The republicans nominated General Harri son for the presidency in the Chicago con vention in 1888. On the eighth ballot he re ceived in votes to 100 for General Alger, 50 THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL, for Judge Gresham, 5 for Blame and i for McKlnley. At the election in November he received 233 votes in the electoral college to 168 for Cleveland. His Administration. The seal controversy with Great Britain came to a head in the Harrison administra tion, and the agreement for arbitration was reached. The famous pan-American congress was held in Washington in the winter of 1889 --90, and some of its reciprocity ideas were made possible by the McKinley tariff law passed by the fifty-first congress. North Da . kota, South Dakota, Washington, Montana, Idaho and Wyoming were admitted as states. Commissioners negotiated with Indian tribes for the cession of lands, which resulted in throwing open Oklahoma to settlement, and the organization of the territory. The trouble with Italy over the New Orleans lynching and the controversy with Chile came during the Harrison administration. In tlie spring of 1891 President Harrison made an extended trip to the Pacific coast, delivering 149 speeches. On his retirement the president furnished a good solution of the problem of what to do with our ex-presidents, by returning to the practice of law. He has been especially prominent in important cases involving con stitutional and international questions. Re cently General Harrison has not been entirely in sympathy with the attitude of the republi can party on the question of expansion. He has written in advocacy of the theory that the "constitution follows the flag." General Harrison's first wife was Caroline Scott, daughter of Dr. John W. Scott, presi dent of Oxford female seminary. Mrs. Harri son died during his term as president. Of their children, Russell B. Harrison has served in the volunteer army until recently, and Mrs. McKee became known in social circles during her father's term in the White House. President Harrison later married Mrs. Mary Lord Dimmick, a niece of his first wife. They have one child, Elizabeth. HIS LATER LIFE Harrison Appeared in Important (use's—His Second Marriage. Soon after the close of his term as pres ident, in March, 1893, General Harrison returned to his home city of Indianapolis and began again the practice of law in the most simple and unostentatious manner. Although General Harrison never in the least sought notoriety, his reputation as a brilliant attorney and profound constitu tional lawyer had spread until he was in the greatest demand in important litiga tion, not only in this country, but abroad. Perhaps the most notable case in which he figured after his retirement from the presidency was that which involved a dis pute between Great Britain and Venezuela concerning the location of the latter's boundary line. General Harrison was given a large re taining fee as counsel for Venezuela, and in the noteworthy legal battle before the international tribunal at Paris was a luminous figure. He was chief counsel in the celebrated suits brought by the city of Indianapolis against the Citizens' Street Railroad company, which we're, on his ad vice, transferred to the federal circuit court. One of his most memorable legal ad dresses was .delivered in the hearing of these suits before Judges Woods and Ba ker of the United States circuit and dis trict courts. General Harrison's masterly argument in this case was taken down verbatim and printed, and has been in great demand ever since by corporation attorneys and courts all over the country. One of his notable speeches of late years was an address before the students of Ann Arbor on the expansion question. The last public address made by General Harrison in his home town was on the occasion of the dedication of the Colum bia club, the first of the year. General Harrison also figured after leaving the president's chair as counsel before the United States supreme court in a notable case involving irrigation lands of the west. General Harrison and Mrs. Mary Lord Dimmick were married at St. Thomas' church in_New York city, on April 6, 1869. Immediately after the wedding the ex preeident and his wife went to Indianapo lis, where they afterward resided. The courtship of the ex-president is said to have contained in all its elements the very essence of romance. It was fostered by and grew among the cares, the daily routine, and labor of a man's work-a-day life. When Benjamin Harrison became presi dent of the United States Mrs. Mary Dim mick, his wife's niece, left her home to help her aunt in her duties as mistress of the White House. Almost before the first year had passed the social functions of the White House had become of secondary importance to her. The president hud found more important work for her to do. He found that she could keep her own counsel; she was discreet. He had found that the affairs of the country possessed a great interest for her, and that her knowledge of politics and the finances of the land was beyond that of many a sen ator who made speeches on thoee sub jects. Mrs. Dimmick became quite a personage in the White House, and after the death of Mrs. Harrison her duties became ,even more i arduous. After General Harrison laid down the burdens of 'office and re turned >i to this city 'he felt :, the - : need iof companionship, and • the marriage to Mrs. Dimmick '■ followed. v But one child, Eliza beth,' was born to the president and hie second wife, She is now 5 years old. 5 HIS METHOD: OP, SPEAKING Some of the Characteristic* of the '.. .'i ■.'.''• l'•'".;• Ex-President. ' . '■ Indianapolis, Ind., March Speaking of General Harrison's methods, a prom inent'lawyer says: . ■ '..-.y. *■ "In a cake at law he brought a moral force to bear upon any crooked work or concealment that was as powerful as any skill in handling it. His scorn and sar casm had an 'ugly honesty' in its expres sion that would ■ skin or scalp the. victim, according to the degree of his culpability. In speaking he had a high, shrill voice, unpleasant to the ear for the first few moments,' but a great clearness of' enun ciation soon absorbed the sense in the subject. n His manner was very earnest, and at any proper point ■ swept on like a cavalry charge. He had oan 1 aggressive streak in his nature, as his square, firm jaw and the 'clench' with which he shut his mouth indicated. He had abundant pluck in r the use of it, and ..with an aroused conscience j was no respecter of persons." .', ;;;: :.. r , -. ,-'■..■ .-. ■. '•v i v "t-">^ A typical example of the powerful ora tory of young Harrison occurred in 1860, when he was the republican candidate for reporter of the state supreme court. He did his share in stumping the state for his party. Colonel Lane and Thomas Hendricks were the opposing candidates for governor and it happened that Harri son and Hendricks were booked to speak at Rockville at the same hour. The democrats cried for a joint debate. Young Harrison hesitated. "Mr. Hendricks is at the head of the democratic ticket." said he, "while I am at the tail of the republican ticket. He is an experienced public debater, while I am on my first trip." He finally consented. The courthouse was jammed. John S. Davis and Mr. Vorhees, the "Tall Sycamore of the Wabash," occupied high seats dividing honors with Mr. Hendricks. Young Har rison went in unnoticed- Democrats feared him not; republicans knew him not. For two long hours Mr; Hendricks ex tolled the democracy. When he had fin ished Harrison's turn came. Directly he stated a proposition and charged that at some previous time the democrats had conceded it to be true. There was a stir in the house, and Mr. Vorhees reared his tall form and denied the truth of the statement. An electric flash is not quick er than the rc;tort: "Fellow citizens, the denial induces me to amend my assertion. I now say that every democrat approved the proposition except Mr. Vorhees. He was then a wig." A spontaneous yell broke out and the Rockvllle republicans knew they had an orator before them. Harrison's campaign for the presidency in 1888 was marked by powerful and tell ing speeches, always appropriate and win ning the plaudits of his hearers. During the next four years Mr. Harrison's repu tation as an orator was vastly enhanced. He talked well both in public and pri vate. During the celebrated tour which he took through the south to the Pa cific coast and to Rochester he made many apt and well-rounded speeches, each particularly pleasing to the people to whom it was addressed. STARTED I.IKK AFRESH HarrUon Turned Over Hl* Property to Hla Children., Jiete Xork Sun Special Sentio* Louisville, Ky., March 14. —"Public sen timent condemned General Harrison when he married the second time," said a Louisville judge, who was associated with General Harrison in legal cases. "But this would not have been so had all the circumstances of that marriage been un derstood. '"His second marriage was opposed by his two children, Colonel Russell B. Har rison and Mrs. Mary Harrison McKee. Feeling that their opposition was in a manner justified," General Harrison turned over to them his whole fortune with the exception of his house in In dianapolis, and said with characteristic firmness: " 'I shall now start out again in life, and whatever I may make shall belong to my wife and any-children God may bless me with." "He turned over to his son and daugh ter about $100,000 accumulated in the practice of law and saved from his sal ary as president. Since his second mar riage he has accumulated about twice that much, and I am told his will will cut off his children by his first wife with a mere mention, and leave Ills second fortune to his second wife and his child by her. "Since the second marriage his son Russell and Mrs. McKee have not visited their father's home in Indianapolis."

MAY GOME IN Wilmot Would Break Into the West- em With a Brewer Team. THE CIRCUIT IS STILL IN DOUBT Speculation ajt to the Final Makeup of the Circuit—Denver and Pueblo May Go Out. Walter Wilmot is of the opinion that Milwaukee would fit much better into the Western league than Dea Moines or St. Joseph, especially if the Denver and Pueb lo franchises go to Indianapolis and Louis ville and he is doing what he can to bring about this change. Wilmot never had a moment's use for Ban Johnson and his crowd and wouicl like nothing better than a chance to "buck" them on their own ground. If placed in charge of the Western league team in Milwaukee, with sufficient backing to secure what players he required, he would have the American league team playing to empty benches if conflicting dates were arranged. Still in Doubt. Denver and Pueblo are still members of the Western league while Louisville and Indianapolis are looking for an opening. The Western league meeting to adopt a circuit and schedule of games may be held next Saturday in St. Paul, but even this is doubtful as all depends on the results of President Hickey's hustling down in In diana. Speaking of the situation yester day he said: I cannot say positively that Louisville and Indianapolis will be taken in, because we have not had our meeting yet. It will take place in St. Paul on Saturday, I think, and then if the necessary arrangements are made with the holders of the Denver and Pueblo franchises, they will be transferred to Lou isville and Indianapolis, respectively. W. H. Watklns would hold the Indianapolis franchise, which would be turned over to him by Hullen, and I think Packard of Den j ver will be willing to bring his club to Louis ville. As Watkins has his club already signed, Louisville could also have the cream of the Pueblo team, thus making a splendid organization. If a team is placed here, no Louisville capi tal will. be represented. •-■ We have all of the capital we need. The town is what we arc after.'
