The Senator ’i dropped dead at the Baltimore & Poto- | mac railroad station at a few minutes | after 4 o'clock. He spent the day in | New York and had just arrived on th® Ll 4 o’clock train from that ecity. He . | alighted from the train and while pass- .| ing into the station fell and immediately expired. Tne news of his death was telephoned to the Senate and upon its | announcement the Senate at once ad- | | journed. ] Mr. Beck was accompanied by hjs .| daughter, Mrs. Goodloe, wife of Maj. | Goodloe of the United States marine || corps, He got off the train with the .| rest of the passengers and waiked with his daughter the entire length of the platform and through the gate leading to the station proper. He seemed to | walk with an effort and breathe with | labor, but these symptoms were the usual wccompaniments of exertion with him for some months past. After passing into the station the Senator and his | daughter stopped and were joined by his private secretary, who had brought % carriage to take them home. : A few words were exchanged with regard to the care of baggage, when the senator suddenly turned pale and with the remark “I feel dizzy” fell into the arms of his companions. 'Thev could not support his weight and he dropped to the tloor, where he swooned away. His daughter was naturally alarmed and screamed for help. Willing hands were numerous, as the station was crowded at the time. and the limp and helpless body was borne into the office of the station master about twenty feet away. Great excitement ensued, and although it was apparent that the Sena- , tor was dead half a dozen messengers were immedigte!y dispatched for physi- ‘ cians and all the remedies at hand were | applied, but to no effect. Dr. Chamnber- ’ lain was the first physician to arrive, and he was soon followed by Dr. Wells | and others, but there was nothing for them to do except to examine the body and to determine the cause of death. A superficial examination only was possible at the time, but it was suflicient to satisfy the phyvsicians that death re-

sulted from paralys's of the heart. The news was telegraphed to the capitol and subsequently spread like wildfire to all sections of the city. Representatives Breckenridge, Caruth, Stone, and others of the Kentucky delegation repaired to the station at once and arranged for the removal of the remains to a more suitable place. Nenator Beck was 68 years old in February. His only son, George Beck, is a large ranch-owner in Wyoming. The Senator came from the shire in Scotland where the poet Burns wrote his sweetest songs.

London cable: The Sunday labor demonstration in Hyde Park was a maguificent success and excelled in peint of numbers and orderly enthusiasm all working-class gatherings since the great reform assemblage in 13¢6. The splendid organlzation of the different sections taking part in the procession brought together in the park 500,000 people, who met, went through their business, and dispersed without a single incident occurring of a disorderly character. The leading sections were the trade councils, which included eight groups, representing the leather trades, metal and cabinet workers, and the shipping, clothing, printing, paper, and building trades. These bodies, in which were numerous related trades, mustered in specified districts of the metropolis early inthe forenoon and marched, headed by their leaders and with bands and banrers, toward the Thames embankment, ! the central point, whence the marshaled array was ordered to start for the Park. The gigantic procession was timed to start at 3 o'clock, and punctually at that hour it moved off- amid thunderous cheers and the blending music of many bands. The route toward the park was along Bridge street, St. James’ park and Bird-Cage walk, which were lined with

Spectators. Masses of artisans joined the paraders on the way, until on entering the park the estimated number of men in line was 150.000. The total number taking part in the various processions is estimated at 170, 000, and these were almost lost in the vastness of the assemblages gathered around the thirteen plattorms upon which the labor-day advocates ‘held forth. Among the far-stretehing, dense crowd no police were visible. Orders from headquarters to refrain from interferring or co-operating with the organizers of the demonstration had caused the police to judiciously keep in the background. After the paraders had formed around the platforms the speaking commenced. Shortly after 4 o'clock resolutions de- ! manding tuat eight hours be recognized | as aday’swork were put and carried amid the acclamations of the multitude, and by 6 o’clock. when the paraders had reformed in line the assemblage began to disperse. Half a million is a moderate computation of the gathering, the character of which bore everywhere the unmistake able stamp of the solid, respectable artisan classes, the tag-rag and bob-tail being conspicuously absent. A notables feature was that the bands of the tradescouncils eschewed revolutionary music, playing only popular and national airs. The speakers included Messrs. Davitt, Cunninghame, Graham. John Burns, Thomas Mann, Benjamin Tillette, Mrs. Aveling, and Annie Besant. By 4 orclock the park was deserted and the thoroughfares were full of orderly crowds streaming homeward.

He Had the Fioor. The Dritish House of Commons is perhaps the most powerful organization _ of men in the world, but its great anthority and dignity did not preventit = from being thrown into some confusion on a recent occasion, by a very smalll enemy. One of the members, Sir John Gorst, had taken the floor to address the - House, when it was perceived by a number of members that a mouse had taken the floor at the same time, and E was running exactly in the direction of the spot occupied by Sir John. b Certain of the members could not re< frain from cries of surprise at seeing the mouse make this movement. The cries frightened the mouse and caused him to tuin back and run toward the benches occupied by the members, This threw the front benc intosome confusion, which only frightened the mouse the more. He attempted to take refuge in the trousers legof an honorable member, and this gentleman immediately began a series of leaps and bounds in an attempt to free himself from the mouse. -8 In an instant the chamber wasin confusion. The mouse, escaping from the honorable member with whomhe had taken refuge, ran this way and that. Numbers of the members jumped upon the benches which serve them as % seats. The “(question before the House” became “how shall the little animal be 3 got rid of ?” - All at once the mouse found his way to the hele in the floor through which i he had entered. He disappeared: members got down frem the seats, and Sir John Gorst resumed his remarks. j How to Keep Your Skin Nice. 3 Don’t use a sponge or linen rag for % - your face; choose instead a flannel one. ; ’ Don’t bathe in hard water; soften it } with a few drops of ammonia or a littl borax.
