WENDELL PHILLIPS DEAD
rhs Great orator and Abolitionist Breathe,
rs Last, Victim Of Hart
Disease,

BOSTON, Special Telegram, Feb. 2.-Wendeu
Phillips died at 6:15 O'Clock at his residence,
81 Common street. He had been seriously III
only since Saturday last On the morning of
that day he was taken very suddenly with an
attack of heart disease A physician was
promptly summoned and pronounced
the trouble Angina pectoris, the
malady which brought Charles Sumner to
the grave and caused the death of Me. Phil
lips father and three brothers Il had been
hoped that Mi. Phillips strong constitution
and the fact that he had enjoyed remarkable
health for years would enable him to rally,
but the disease made rapid progress He
was confined to his bed on Sunday,
suffering terrible pains, and bis bhysieian
was summoned to the house four times The
patient rallied, grew better from day to
day, and hopes were entertained until
Wednesday of a speedy recovery On
Wednesday came relapse SO serious
that constant medical aid was required.
On Thursday his condition became so criti-
cal that it was hardly thought at midnight
that ne cculH liTe until informing. Again he
rallied slightly, but the relief was
only temporary. In attempting to lift
himself in. bed to-day he overtaxed
his feeble powers A terrible paroxism was
brought on, and in order to quiet the sui
ferer it was necessary to employ an@sthetics.
1t was evident that the end was near.
Phillips realized this, and except during the
time above referred to, was conscious until
the last, though too feeble to speak. He
had been unable to speak for
two or three days He had taken
no prominent part in public life for more
than year, feeling that, though in excellent
health, he had reached an age when quiet
ness and rest were requisite. He received
many fattering invitations to lecture,
but was heard but seldom He
last spoke in public at the
old South church the day fol-
lowing Christmas, when the statute Of
Harriet Martineau was unveiled, The en-
forced removal from his home on Essex
street was often in Mr.. Phillips mind,
for he frequently spoke of the
change with regret, and some
OF his friends, thinking that broodinp
over this matter may have brought, in some
degree at least, the disease which proved
fatal. When Phillips died there were none
in the death chamber save the wife
whom he had cared for with such con-
slant tenderness these many years, and his
adopted daughter, with other members of
the family and household His death was
peaceful, and, though the illness had been
painful the end happily was free from all
suffering. The arrangements for the funeral
are not yet completed, and it probably will
not be held for several DAYS

Point de Gale and Cape Town, and Islands

vital necessity for our feet which in case of
war will have to depend upan the coaling
facilities for their power to defend our nos.
sessions. Our army is never more than ad-
equate for the work it has to do, and the
occupation of Egypt put severe strain on
our ordinary military arrangements. The
importance of improving our defensea NAV
be judged from the fact that property at
Liverpool alone, which hostile fleet could
destroy. Is estimated at $400, O0O, 600.

, The Fatal Poison of the Gun.
Henry Ward Beecher in Late Sermon.

I feel sore at heart now. One of the
;noblest natures that used to sit in these
seats, and one loved and who loved
me; whose hand was az large in its
prospects of noble and useful life, who
could restrain himself and stop when
he'd mind to. But he has gone, gone
down to such degree Of intemperance
that his friends have given him up in
despair. How many Of that kind nave
! seen; and the time past did not suffice
for him, or for them. They say: To be
sure know I drink little; but it is not
z necessity for me; can give it up to-
day: But they don't; aud they cont
next year, or the year after; and when
they hear the roar OF the tide of perdi-
'tion. over the verge of which they will
plunge finally, they can't. The time
when men ought to stop is when they
first see the peri when there is time
enough for judgement, enough to bring
the higher qualities of the mind to sii
in judgement over the lower.
