SENATOR CHARLES SUMNER. of Massachu-
sets, expired at the capital, at Is minutes be-
fore o'clock on Wednesday, March IL. He
was seized the evening before with what physi-
clans term literally neuralgia OF the heart.
1t was at once perceived that the great states
man was dangerously i'll, and nothing that
co uld be done was left undone. Brandy and
ammonia were administered, and the limbs
and body of the patient were rubbed and
blanketed. Whilst all this was being done,
Mr. SUNNI or, assuming that this was the end,
uttered among others, these words: " My
book. my book 1 should not regret this, had
1 finished my book" The great account is
closed" "Can not have relief ?" In the
meantime Surgeon-General Barnes was sum-
moned, and promptly responded. An exami-
nation developed the fact that the Senator
was suffering with angina pectoris, or a con-
traction of the muscles OF the heart-the
worst phase of the disease from which he
suffered a couple Of years since-and that in
all probability he would not recover. He suf-
fered excrutiating pains, and hypodermic In
iections of morphine were administered as
occasion required. He fingered in great agony
until 2:47 o'clock of the following day, when
death ensued He had several severe convul-
sions just before dissolution, and it is the
opinion of those who we're present that
rupture OF the heart occurred. His
last words which were addressed to
ex-Attorney-General Hoar, were Take
care of my Civil Rights bill. Tell Emerson l
love him and revere him." Mr.. Sumner was
born in Boston, Jan. 6, 1911, and had just en-
tered upon his Gath year. He graduated at
Harvard. passed through the Cambridge Law
School. studied law under his father. and was
admitted to the bar in 1884. He visited Eu-
rope in 1896 and spent four years in England,
France, Germany and Italy. Returning, he
pursued his profession with success. His
first entrance into official life was as United
and continuously represented his State in that
capacity up to the time Of his death.
