H|/ WIDOWS OF EX-PRESIDENTS. Three of Them Lives, Mrs. Garfiold, Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Cleveland. , Although there is now no snrvivV n,~ ^-president ?r (ho ITniiod Stales. W t,,rce women Still live who have sliarB ed the lot of former rulers of the na tion. K The three widows of ex-presidents I J1*? .lames A. Garfield, Mrs. B ljenjamin Harrison and Mrs. Grover f " Cleveland. It has nearly always been I the ease I hat the widows of presidents have ont numbered former holdera of the office. The strain of earing -?>i the nation's affairs seems to bear heavily on incumbents of the Chief I Magistracy, and it is rare, indeed, says the Hoslon Herald, to have had (more than two ex-presidents living at the same time, despite the fad that ho term of office beiuir onlv four years, it would naturally be'expected more would survive after concluding terms of office to receive the respect of their fellow citizens. Mrs. Garfield has long survived I her husband, who has now been dead J almost 27 years. | Mrs. Garfield divides her time between three places. She deeply loves ) her old home town of Mentor, ()., ! which is rich in memories .>f her >ounj? lite. I here her children were raised, there are a thousand meinorjes of the statesman stricken down hv the bullet of Gilcau. the capital city saw the ollf-lnking of her husband, she lias made ii a practice to Uo there often to spend the winter, within sight of his triumphs during the brief time that he occuthe While House.

She is a sweet and gracious wo| man. gentle and kindly and always ready to speak of | he t riumphs of her husband. Mrs. Benjamin Harris. Mrs. Hen.jatnin Harrison was not actually a lady of (he White House, for her distinguished husband had retired from public life before lie married. She became a member of the Harrison household prior to his election to the presidency, and after his in luiruiation she took a prominent j" Hie activities of social Washington. The first wife. I\Irs. Marv Scott Harrison was an invalid during a large part of Mr. Harrison's =|;-.v a! the While House, and much of the social duty devolved upon Mrs. Rhumb k. She cared for it with complete s.i< cess. When four years after his passimfrom the White House Mr. Harrison announced his purpose to remarry, there was general pleasure and lieaVliesl good will expressed all over the country. On February 21. 1807, a child was born to (he pair, Elizabeth Harrison. A woman of rare beauty and charm. Mrs. Harrison is very popular. h"th in Inndianapolis. where she had her home, and in Tuxedo, N. Y. where she spends much of her time. Mrs. Cleveland. Mi's. ( levclaud has onTy latelv been made the widow of a president. The whole life of |his lovable woman, since her girlhood days. radiated "round the life of the only man the Democrats have succeeded in putting m the While House in half a century of effort. They were wedded in the White House during the first limn of the then New Yorker. For the remaining three years of his term Mrs. Cleveland presided with a charm and dignity that were iroresistible, and that gave her perhaps more thorough popularity than any woman of the many who have held the title of "First Ladv of (he Land." For four years more in private life, j Mrs. Cleveland continued to hold a place in the affections of the people, 1 and when in 1802 the vote of the peo- I pie carried Grover Cleveland back in-I to the chair of Washington, many a I Republican found the paugs of hav u- Democratic president lessened b\ I lie tact that his selection returned Mrs. Cleveland fo her old place. Her triumphs of the first term were abundantly repealed. ami when (?nce more the pair retired to private ,n take up their home in beautiful We-t lands, their I \ iucetoii bode, Mrs. ( level-.p,! remained a hcaulif.il I memory to the nation |h:i| had genuinely loved her.

She died in 1782, while life did 1 pi not go from I lie body ol' the greatest ' of Democrats until 1820. j pi ^ Mrs. Madison lived Kl#years after ibi the ilealh ol' her husband. John Adams outlived his wife; so jN did Andrew Jackson. John (^uincv Adams died four years before his wife. j,l, Martin \ an liuren almost equalled 11" the record of Jefferson, and lived i S years alter the passing of his wife. | o] First Pensioned Widow. | A The first time a pension was ever!''' suuiiested for the widow of an ex-j president was when William IT. liar- w rison died one month after his inau- s: gural ion. I'rior to that time there1!1' had been only one instance of a wid- l" o\v getting any favors whatever. This ' was when Dolly Madison was granted tin? right to publish in other countries her own benefit the manuscript " debates on the Constitution. I In; death ol Harrison peculiarly appealed to (he senlimenl of the nation, and Mrs. Harrison was voted out right *2.>,000. T'ven this sum was not extravagant, for she had to live ' f'"' I he 2.'{ years slie survived her husband. I lie second Mrs. T\ ler. w!in maclied I lie president during his si >v i:> ' ollice, occupied the White !lou-e; eight months. When I lie forinei' pre.': lei: dieil i !H")2 it was f e.md that he had 1 fl his widow so poorly provided !'>r I' that government help became imper.i- t live. Therefore, a pension of $.">,000 j 1* yearly was granted, which Mrs. Tyler S continued to draw until her death 27 years la ler. \ Franklin Pierce outlived his wil'e n six years. Buchanan was a bachelor. ^ Fillmore's second wife outlived him seven years, bul never received gov- (] eminent aid. In the burst of pity and affection ( that f<dlowed (lie off-taking of Lincoln, the nation sought a means of doing something for those who had a been dear to him, An outright $2.">.- f 000 was granted to the widow and she was further given a pen-don of $.">.000 yearly. j. Johnson s wife outlived him but one year. There was no pension in that lime. The distinguished services that f (Irani had rendered his country received some acknewledgeinenl in the!(} shape of a $0,000 pension for his ,, widow, which was undoubtedly wel- |, come, since the inisforlunes of tlie former president in the banking ousi- / ness had gone far to reduce his never v extensive foriune. I Mrs. Hayes died before her hus- j band.
