TH0ILAa Il HENDRLnKN-

The kilograms last evening brought
the sad intelligence of the sudden death
of Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, Of
Indiana, Vice.P President of the United
States, which occurred at Indianapolis
at five o'clock yesterday evening. He
had attended a reception the evening
before, at which he complained of feel
ing unwell, and went TO his home
where he rapidly grew worse, the sick.
ness terminating fatally. The history
of this distinguished man is familiar
to all readers of American history
and no name has been more prominent
before the country than his during tht
last quarter of a century.
Mr.. Hendricks was born near Zanes.
Ohio, September z, 1919, and was
therefore only 66 years of age. When
he was six months old his parents re-
moved to Indiana. He attended a
village school for several years, and
then entered college at South Hanover,
from which he graduated. In 1913 he
was elected a member of the Legisla.
Eture, being only % years old. Ia 1850
he declined a reelection, but was
elected a Senator under the new
constitution. In 1855, having been
oeen defeated, he resumed the prac.
lice of law, but was soon after ap-
pointed by President Pierce Commits
5ioner of the General Land Office, but
resigned in 1859 and resumed tht
practice of his profession. In 1860 ht
was the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor, but owing to the split in the
party, THE Douglas and Breckenridge
factions) he was defeated by Gov,
Morton, and he again retired to his
law books. In 1868 he was elected
senator from Indiana and served until
1869. He was again a candidate for
Governor, but was defeated by Conrad
Baker by only eight hundred votes,
but in 1872 was elected by 1900 ma
jority.
In 1876 Mr.. Hendricks was nominated
by the National Democratic Conven
ton as their candidate for Vice resi
dent, on the ticket headed by Mr.. Til
den, and Vas elected, but through the
nan%ipulations of the party then in
power, through the Electoral Commits
sion, he was defrauded of the office
Mr.. Hendricks then returned to private
life, but was again called upon by
mis- party to take the second
place on the ticket with Presi-
dent Cleveland. After one of the mos,
exciting contests ever witnessed inl
this country the Democratic party was
successful, and on the fourth of March
of this year Mr.. Hendricks assumed!
the duties of the office of which he had
been defrauded in 1876.
Ia his death the party has lost one
of its most distinguished members AND
the South a steadfast defender, and the
grief at his taking off will be genuine
throughout the entire country this
morning.
By his death Geo. L. Edmunds, of
Vermont, a Republican Senator, bel
comes the acting vice-president of the
United States.

INCUBATION FOR YELLOW
FEVER.

A DR.. Freire, Of Rio de JaneirO
claims that bis experiments, by inOcu
|~latiOn, for the prevention Of yellow
fever, have proved successful. Hehas
.inoculated over 5000. and says he bias
not lost a patient. although the masses
Of them reside in the midst of infec
tion. DR.. CASTOR, of Atlanta, ano
other distinguished physicians think it
is not at all improbable that DR.
Freire has hit upon the true prevent
five of the dreadful scourge. The New
Orleans Picayune seems to be of the
same opinion, and says in that con-
nection:
Yellow fever is a disease which SO
rarely attacks a person a second time
that one attack of it is regarded az
practically a security for life against d
recurrence; consequently it occupies
The same position in this respect as
smallpox, and it is not unreasonable,
70 suppose that it may be as easily
prevented. DR.. Freire proposes til
welcome any medical commission
which our government may send to|
witness the NEGOTIATIONS and obseEv
their results; and we feel sure that AS
soon as the subject is brought to the
|%aotice of Congress it will receive the
consideration which it deserves. The
sum requisite for the ttfectuation OF
|the projected inspection will not bel
large enough to arouse opposition on
he score Of extravaganza.

AMONG the Exposition notes pub
lished in the New Orleans Picayune,
We find the following:
The ladies of Natchez, have contrib
uted a magnificent piece of needle
work in the form of a patchwork map
Of the State Of Mississippi. 1t is about
ten feet wide by twelve 1eet long. Each
county is correctly represented by d
piece of colored satin of the requisite
shape. Cities and towns are marked
In silk embroidery and the rivers and
streams are deity wrought with en-
broidery work. The colors of the
county patches are so well chosen and
tastefully combined that the general
effect is extremely rich and beautiful
The whole is laid on a ground Of white
satin which projects all around as a
margin. On it In embroidered text are
the statistics of area. population, pro-
ducts and other important matters
besides several items of history. Ont
of these contains the following pathetic
information: mississippi supplied tc
the C~onfederacy its President and 78,
900 troops, of whom $4,000 died from
wounds and on the battlefield, and
$4,000 died from diseases"
This satin map is one of the most
elegant things of the kind to be found
anywhere, and is a credit to its fail
makers.

THE following from the Philadel.
phia Times is especially applicable to
the New Orleans murderers, Ford and
Murphy. who are asking executive
clemency for the sake of their wives
and little ones
A young man who was on trial for
murder 10 Pittsburg and who expected
verdict of either manslaughter OF
murder in the second degree, was
awakened from a deep, moral slumbeI
IN Friday by a verdict of murder in
che first degree. His only comment
was : II don't care so much for my
self, but | am sorry for my mother, fol
it will kill her."
Doubtless there are people-perhaps
there were some present when this
verdict was handed in-who wondered
now the jury could be 50 heartless as
20 convict the young murderer of 81
Iegree of crime that dooms him to the
1alloWs when he had a mother tU|
whom it would be a crushing blow
such people often turn upon juriesl
themselves. And yet when the mo
i've of consideration for a criminals
mother is analysed it is found to con
Tain no valid reason why the crimt
should go unpublished.
Society is most interested in tht
punishment of crime and the enforce
nent OF the law and is not responsible
for the variance between its interests
and those Of the heartbrok,n relatives
Of criminals. The criminals them.
selves are responsible, and they cannot
iope to escape the consequences OF
heir acts by appealing to society to
remember and pity those whom they
orgot and for whom they had no
mercy. There are few who have
stronger claims on the sympathy of thu
individual than the innocent relatives
Of a condemned murderer, but thu
public well being demands that this
sympathy should be expressed chiefly
In a private and unofficial manner
There Is entirely too much of maudliL
|Atterthought Oh the part of criminals
for their relatives.

1t is singular that in America our re

cause most church members in America

One cause of their apathy may, perhaps,
be found in the prophecy of the founder
of the Methodsts Their virtues viii
make them rich; their riches will make
them vicious. Most men in this country
who profess religion are well to do.
Thrifty, shrcwd and rising men, they hav e
little interest in schemes, which they re-
gard as U!opian.
In contrast to their want of zeal for
humanity stand out the earnest efforts of

long, and as it gided along, reared it's

was as thick as II beer keg, and it made II

PATERSON, N. j., Ont z. DR.. Francis H.
Daluner, one OF the Oldest physicians in this
city, is dying at st. 10 epn's hospital. He
was born in Germany ssvent y-sevoh year
ago. For participating in the revolution OF
1913 he spent four year. in the dungeons Of
Rastadt, Ehrenbrri;stein and Juiich
While in these prisons oftan 10 me to >oli-
tary confinement he formed strange Mt
tachmeut for the spiders that were hi only
company. After escaping from a prison
hospital, Dalumer came to this country and
settled in Paterson, where he has been
greatly beloved by the German res dents,
and has enjoyed moderate practice.
From his love OF spiders he would allow no
repairs to his rooms, nor any brushing of
walls, and as consequence these creatures
and their webs covered nearly every avail
able spot in the apartments. A few days
ago his health having been failing for
months, he was at his own request removed
to the hospital to die.
