SENIOR SENATOR OF MAINE DIED TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

Senator Frye, 40 Years a Public Servant, Passed Away at Home of Daughter In Lewiston. Lewiston, Maine, Aug. B.—The state of Maine lost its senior United States senator and an almost lifelong faithful servant when William Pierce Frye died today at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Helen White, in this city. The end came at 3:55 p. m. At his bedside were Mrs. White and his other daughter, Mb. Alice Briggs, who also resides in Lewiston. Although he had been ill for a long time, death came suddenly. Forced by the condition of his health to resign his position as president pro tempore of the senate at the beginning of the present special session of congress, although he retained his membership in the senate, Senator Frye soon afterward made his last journey to the city which always had been his home. For several weeks he rested in comparative comfort.
