Ex(Bov. Made a Valiant
Fight for Life.
A TOD CITIZEN -GONE
Active, Fierce and Uncomprom

Were Fotiffht to a Finish.
Hon. Hnzen S. rinRree, cx-sovernor
of Michigan, died in London. Kngland,
at 11:35 p. m., the ISth of June, from
an Illness brought on by the hardships
of travel In South Africa, and shat
tered health arising from the severe
strain of his political life.
That he was a remarkable man his
career In Detroit and as governor of
Michigan gives the most brilliant
proof, lie was a descendant of tine
old Puritan stock and first saw the
light in the rugged little town of Den
mark, Me., In 1840. At the age of 14
he left the rocky farm of his birth
place and went to Saco, Me., where for
six years he worked In a cotton mill.
'From there he went to Hopklnton,
Mass., where he became a cutter in n
shoe factorj'. In August,. li-. Imbued
with the patriotic ardor which was a
characteristic of his ancestry, he en
listed in Co. T, First Massachusetts
Heavy Artillery, his term of service
expiring he promptly re-enlisted, and
vith his regiment, took part In the
second battle of Hull Hun. the battles
of Fredericksburg Hoad, Harris Farm,
Cold Harbor, Spottsylvnnla Court
House, North Anne and South Anne.
He was captured May 2", le-t, by a
squad of Mosby's men and sent to
Andersouville, where he was confined
for several months. He was then
sent to Salisbury prison, N. C, and to
Mlllcn, (In., where he was exchanged

ment in front of Petersburg. He took
part in the expedition to Weldon Hail
road, and in the battles of Hoyutou
Hoad, Petersburg, Sailor's Creek,
Farmvllle and Appomattox Court
House, and was mustered out after
the close of the war in August, ISUu.
Came to Detroit.
After this service in the war Mr.
Plngree came to Detroit, being then 'S
years of age, and began work in the
shoe factory of II. P. Haldwiu & Co.,
and in December, 1S;, established the
shocmaklng linn of Pingrce & Smith,
Avith a capital of but $1.3tX, with
Charles II. Smith as his partner.
Starting with eight employes during
the first year, the linn, carried forward
by Mr. Plngree's native energy and
Yankee shrewdness, grew into an In
stitution that employs SOO persons and
has an annual output of $1,000,000. lie
became one of Detroit's foremost busi
ness men," and was known as an enter
prising manufacturer.
He was married in 1S72 to Miss
Frances A. tlilbert, of Mt. Clemens,
and had three children, of whom Hn
zen S. Plngree, and Miss Hazel Pln
greo survive. Miss Gertrude Plngree,
his eldest daughter, died in 1S!)4, and
her demise was one of-the saddest
blows experienced by Mr. Plngree.
Mr. Plngreo was a I!-d degree Ma
son, a Shriner and a member of De
troit post, (1. A. H. He attended the
Woodward Avenue Haptlst church.
In 1SS7 there was a political land
slide in municipal ol!tlcs. the Demo

large majority, and in the fall of Ussi)
a large number of Itepublicans met
upon Invitation of James F. Joy to
consider the nomination for mayor
and endeavor to make such a selection
ns would regain thcclty to the He
publicans. No Hepubllcan desired to
run. Col. Henry M. Dutlield positively
Tcfused to run. Mr. Plngree's name
was suggested, but he protested.
"No. no," he said, "I was never In
the city hnll except to pay my taxes.
I will double my subscription for the
campaign, but let me out."
Hut a committee was Appointed, and
finally a reluctant consent wns gained
from Mr. Plngree to undertake the
campaign. That was the beginning
nt a popular political career on the
7art of the ex-governor that spread
his fame broadcast over the world.

Mnjor of Detroit.
When he took the ollice as mayor of
the city he brought to bear in the
office of chief executive the same level
headed business methods that had
brought him success in the CQmmercial
world. The city's streets were lu a
deplorable condition. Contractors had
the city by the throat. He Immedi
ately began a campaign for better
paved streets; urged a rapid transit
system of street railways; a municipal
lighting plant; a separation of grade
crossings, and higher taxation of acre
age property.. He Ignored the profes
sional politician, and let loose an aval
anche of Ideas regarding municipal
government. In the second month of
his term he proposed testing electricity
as the motive power for street rail
ways. At the end of six months he
was severely criticised by the Hepub
llcan party leaders at a Michigan club
meeting for his appointments, and
there vns arrayed against him many
of the leaders of his own party. He
even pursued his business methods re
gardless of political favor, to the ex
tent of vetoing overtime pay for muni
cipal employes. Hefore the dose of
his first year in ofiice, he wns antagon
istic to the common council, and had
started a score of ideas, some of which
were abandoned as quickly as started,
upon their proving Impracticable. He
was always ready to confess frankly
any error, but mistakes never caused
any cessation of his efforts to improve
municipal conditions.
Street Cnr Strike.
During the first few months of his
ouice-holding Plngree showed very lit
tlo of the corporation-fighting traits
which later became his leading char
acteristic, but when the big street rail
way strike took place, his .astute sec
retary, A. I. McLeod. saw an oppor
tunity for making a political coup.
Mayor Plngree refused to ask the
governor of the state for troops to
quell disturbances. Insisting that the
police were sutllclently powerful to
keep the peace. The mayor called up
on both sides to settle the difficulty by
arbitration, and this was done.
XVn Knnlly Ile-eleeteil Mayor.
In 1SSH, when the time arrived for
another mayoralty election, Plngree's
political prestige had not as yet
reached the point which later made
him so powerful, and there was some
fear In the Hepubllcan camp that he
would be defeated. However, the
Democrats got Into a factional light,
and John Miner and W. (J. Thompson
were both nominated, with the result
that Plngree was re-elected, receiving
more votes than both of his opponents.
In his second term Mayor Plngree
took hold of many of his most success
ful plans for city improvement. He
declared for a comprehensive park
system, and though his scheme to turn
much of the down-town district of the
city into a playground was sat upon
as being too expensive, bis agitation
brought alwtut the establishment of a
number of Detroit's present beautiful
breathing places. The grooved rails
for street enrs with the same pavement
between the tracks as was laid on the
rest of the street; new sewers were
built, and the old sarfd and plank foun
dations of pavements were replaced
with those laid on concrefe. and a city
lighting plant was established during
his second term. Cheaper gas was
also obtained through his efforts.
In order to Introduce the grooved
rails Into Detroit, he took the common
council to HuiTalo in a special car at
his own expense. At his request the
council engaged two special cars and
made a Junket trip to Chicago, New
York, Hoston, Philadelphia and other
eastern cities to Inspect lighting
plants, but Incidentally looked. Into ail
lines of municipal work in order to
gain Ideas.
Aside from the knowledge to be ob
tained the t rip was a strategic move
to gain the good-will of the aldermen
toward the city ownership plan. When
the legislature met the next year there
was a fierce fight at Lansing, the elec
tric lighting trust fighting the bill to
enable the city to establish a plant,
and there were charges of IhhkIIc in
connection with the measure, which,
however, went through, and was
signed by (lov. Hlch.
Third Term.
In 1M.1 Plngree was nominated for a
third term by the Republicans, and me
Democrats nominated Marshall II.
(Jodfrey. The campaign was one of
the hottest that ever took place In De
troit, the Plngree men charging that
those in favor of a new street railway
franchise furnished the funds for the

spent freely on both sides. The Dem
ocrats were confident, but Plngree won
by about 0,000 majority, the largest
vote ever given a caudidate for mayor
up to that time. Plngree's third term
was much taken up with fighting over
street railway franchises. It was
during this term that the potato patch
plan evolved. The plan proved suc
cessful and was followed In many oth
er large cities, and earned for the
mayor the name of "Potato" Plngree.
' Fourth Term.
In 1S0." Samuel (Joldwater was pit
ted against Plngree by the Democrats,
but (ioldwater's candidacy was re
garded largely as a Joke, and Plngree
had over 10,000 majority.
Governor of MlchlKn.
The career of Mr. Pingreo as gov
ernor has iK-rhaps no equal In the his
tory of any state. As governor, Mr.
Plngree became conspicuous nationally
bj' reason of the excellent equipment
of the state troops he raised for the
Spanish-American war, and the rapid
ity with which he sent troops to the
front. In this he was most energetic.
When fien. Hussell A. Alger was be
rated by the yellow Journals of the
east as secretary of war, (Jov. Plngree
was the first to uphold him and criti
cise his detractors.
In the fall of 1S0S Mr. Tlngree was
re-elected governor -by a plurality of
i 00,000. In '1)0 he secured the passage
of a street railway municipal owner
ship bill by the legislature, and later
endeavored to have the city buy the
street railways for $17,500,000, and
though business sentiment was almost
unanimously against the plan, he car
ried It once through the common coun
cil, and was only stopped untimately
by a refusal on the part of Owner Wil
son to extend the option on the prop
erty. As governor Mr. Plngree secured the
passage of the law creating the state
tax commission, which has equalized
taxation throughout the state to a
great degree. He also after his ad
valorem taxation law was declared
unconstitutional, secured an amend
ment to the constitution of the state
whereby the present ad valorem bill
was made valid. He likewise secured
the repeal of all special railroad char
ters in the state.
The military board scandal Is the
only spot of ids olitical career that
has even a dark look and that comes
from those whom he stood by through
it all. those whom he considered his
friends and less culpable than others.
The banquet given by him in the
state capitol when carloads of viands
and wine, and decorations were used,
marked the end of his political career.
That he wrought well for the Inter
ests of the people of his home city and
the state In many ways evidences on
every hand attest. That he made some
mistakes there can be no denial. That
he was an honest, fearless and produc
tive politician all admit. He was well
fitted for the strenuous political life he
led by tlio Inheritance of good blood
and a strong physique, by the very
climate of the state in which he was
born, and by his own rugged" person
ality. Ills worth as a man and a clti
ten will not be fully developed till the
results of his work bear fruit.

London, Juno 25. Whatever may
have been the extent of tho gradual
attrition of the Boer forces and re
sources, and the consequent Improve
ment of the British position in South
Africa during the last month, the gen
eral situation has been so little al
tered since the end of May that re
ports mailed by English correspond
ents which are printed today may
probably be taken to represent the
condition of affairs now as accurately
as when they left Capo Town. Tho
correspondent of the Dally Mall at
Cape Town sends a statement that is
calculated to dispirit the most opti
mistic Englishman if it can be regard
ed as well founded. The letter was
written about three weeks ago. The
correspondent of the Mail says: "The
Boer invasion of Cape Colony 13 de

The Boer bands are getting recruits,
and what is more, they are getting
horses. They picked up no fewer than
500 at the remount camp near Coles

ports. He continues: "A glance at the
map will show that a large portion of
the colony is virtually in the hands of
tho enemy. From Dordrecht to Wll
lowmore and across to Kenhardt and
on to Namaqualand the Boer is the
man in possession. The slow progress
of the campaign from the British point
of view causes deep dissatisfaction.
The authorities allow next to no news
to be published, and it is only by inter
viewing recent arrivals from the front
that one can get any real conception
of what is taking place."
The correspondent of the Standard,
writing from Pretoria, speaks in al

New Haven, Conn., June 25. Secre

son's death brought on physical collapse-
late yesterday, is much better to
day. He passed a fairly restful nljjht
and at 9 o'clock received a call from
Dr. Gilbert, his physician. The doctor
found Colonel Hay so much better that
he permitted him to sit up, while di
recting that he remain quietly in his

that he would be able to leave the city
this evening. If necessary.
Hay' Son Found Dead-
New Haven, Conn., June 23. Adal
bert S. Hay, son of Secretary Hay and
former consul to Pretoria, was found
dead on the sidewalk outside the New
Haven house. Hay retired to his room
at 1 o'clock, after spending the even
ing with friends, In apparently excel
lent spirits. At 2:30 a passer-by no
ticed the body of a prostrate man
lying on the sidewalk on the College
street side of the hotel. The night
clerk of the hotel was immediately
summoned and recognized the young
man as the one who registered as
Adelbert S. Hay. There was consid
erable excitement about the hotel and
a large body of students and gradu
ates who are here for the commence
ment exercises soon gathered. A num
ber of Hay's former classmates at
Yale positively identified the young
man. It is believed that Hay became
ill and went to the window for air,
was overcome by a fit of dizziness and
fell to the ground below.
The secretary, with his party ar
rived at 5:43 p. m., immediately en
tered a carriage and was driven to the
residence of Seth Moseley, 36 Wall
