SAMUEL j. TILDEN DEAD.

The Great Democratic Leader Passes
Quietly Away at His Home AT YOnkers,
y.
YoNKKRs, y. Y, August 4-Samuel j. Til
den, died at Greystone this morning at $50.
Mr.. Tilden had been enjoying his usual good
health up TO last Saturday evening. While
sitting on the stOOp of his residence after
shutdown on that evening, he was taken with
a slight chill which settled on his stomach
and bowels. producing Inflammation, from
which he suffered all night. Sunday he was
slightly better, and was able TO ride out.
Sunday evening he felt much worse. and
continued to grow weaker. but until last
night there were no fears OF the cOL=e-
QuenceS. This morning Il became apparent
that the end was near.
DR.. Charles +. SimOnds and Miss Gould,
a relative of Tilden. were at the bedside. A
few moments before Tilden died he tried TO
speak, bat only moved his lips, failing TO
make any sound. He passed away quietly
and peacefully. No arrangements have yet
been made for the funeral. George ".
Smith. Tilden's private secretary. says he
has not received any instructions from rela-
tives.
Tilden was born on February, 9, 1914. in
New Lebanon, Columbia county, and was
therefore - years old. He leaves one sister.
the mother OF the late Colonel PeltOn. and
several nephevs, the children OF his broth
ers, Moses and Henry Illden. On being
assisted to his bed room last night, the first
sign Of the approaching failure of the heart
was noticed by his difficult breathing. He
was put TO bed, and constantly watched
and nourished through the night, bat his
strength gradually failed. About : this
morning Samuel .. Swift was summoned
by DR.. Simonis for consultation. Tn Swift !

chair in which he had been placed TO relieve
mis- breathing. He had lost the power OF

which the men returned to work involve the
concession of the cent minimum card rate
as the basis of wages. The adoption of this
scale gives the iron workers an advance of
20 cents per ton. By the terms of settle
ment when the selling price of bar iron
drops below cents per pound there will be
no reduction in wages but for every Ito of a
cent advance or reduction in the selling
price from that basis, there will be a CORES
ponding increase or reduction in the wages
of the iron workers.
dispatch from Kingman, Kansas, says:
Heavy rains have fallen at Kingman after
nearly three weeks or dry weather. This
whole county, as we'll as Pratt and Reno
Ountles, were visited with the best rain in a
year. Corn in the eastern half of this
county has been injured perhaps % per cent
by the drOuth, but this rain insures an aver
age of about 80 per cent of full crop for
the county. Wheat yielded over half a crop.
Oats are nearly full crop. The rain raised
the Ninnescah river at this point nearly as
high as during the great floods of April, 1885
Considerable damage is reported to the new
bridges and embankments of the K, 2. Il
w. railroad, now building west from here.
The Mexican man Of-war, "Lalibert,"
which has been lying in the New Orleans,
La, port several months for repairs, and
which was to have remained there until the
latter part of September, received orders
from the Mexican authorities to leave for
Vera Cruz and there await for further orders.
This is a sudden surprise to the officers of
the ship, but they say all the Mexican men
Of-war anchored in foreign ports have been
called home since the Cutting and Rasurse
matters have assumed threatening shape.
The Mexican consul at New Orleans positive
~ refused to talk on the matter, bet other
Mexicans seem inclined to the opinion that
war is possible.
A dispatch from Ell Paso, Texas, says:
Paso Del Norte is full of Mexican soldiers.
Although heavy reinforcements are an
nOunced as on the way from Chihuahua,
they have not yet arrived. The state de-
partment at Washington is kept fully advised
of all military movements the Mexicans may
undertake. Senator Manuel Rincen, private
secretary of the governor of Chihuahua,
called on Consul Brigham, and assured him
of his regard and friendship. He said the
troops had been sent to Paso Del Mort
merely as a precautionary movement, ana
if the excitement did not increase no more
would be sent. He was astonished that
Cutting refused to accept bail when offered
as that would not have prejudiced his case
at all. Consul Brigham replied that Cutting
had done right. That his case wsr not be-
yond the reach of petit courts of the state.
1t was a question between the two nations.
There is evidently hitch in the negotiations
on the part of the Mexicans as there has
been no further developments. Council
Brigham modified his previous report and
says Medina did not abuse him, but his Sec
rotary.

away within fifteen minutes after Swift's
arrival.
AS soon as the news was received in York
ers, there was a good deal of excitement
over it. Instantly the flags of the city build
ings and newspaper offices were displayed
at half mast. Expressions of regret were
heard on all sides at the death of the emil
nent statesman.
Governor Hill issued a proclamation Off
cially announcing the death ofiS6muel j.
Tilden, and requesting that the close of his
life be marked with more than passing
notice, and directing the flags upon the pub
half mast until and including the day of the
funeral, and requesting the citizens of the
state to unite IN appropriate tokens of grief.

Blessed With Patience.

About four miles out of Birming-
ham, Ala, we came across stretch
of road about four miles long which
was foot deep with red clay mud.
We had to ride our horses along tie
edge of it, and then it was a job to
pull through. On the far side, about
fifty feet from the solid road-bed, we
came upon a colored man with his
mule and cart, the latter loaded with
wood and stuck fast in the mud. The
man was seated at the roadside, while
the old mule was chewing away at a
heap of brush and grass which had
been cast before him. a-sasa1 A

I have seen "sandhifiers' Iii certain
parts of North and South Carolina, and
some within ten miles of Columbia, =
while engaged in eating Their dinner,
and have observed them con sunne. with
evident relish. large quantities Of clay,
and what's more, L have, joined In Their
frugal repast and partaken of some of Z
the stuff myself, says North Carolina
doctor in the Atlanta Constitution.
1t is nearly tasteIess, but some Of the
cIay-eating epicures profess to enjoy it
because Of delicate favor 1t possesses
1t is white, deYoid of grit and not un-
like the kaolin of which plates and
saucers are made. 9lleres is nothing g
disagreeabie about thisscIay and it may
be taken into the stomach with impuni-,s
ty. 1t is not injurious as an article of
diet, indeed many contend that it in
sures longevity and wards off several
diseases. There are well authenticated 1
instances OF wonderful longevity among
''clay-eaters, and it is well understood
by such of the faculty as hare studied s
the subject that none of the. "sandhill-
ers" ever suffer with Indigestion or dys-
pepsia, and have never known one to
dIe.of consumption; in fact, foolish as
il may seem,I L am constrained to believe
that this strange habit exenpts the
"clay- -eaters'' from many of the all 81
ments to which the rest of the human
family are heirs. OF course there is
nothing very succulent or nutritious a.
bout slice of clay, but it certainly al
lays the cravings of. hunger This is
done by distending the walls of the
stomach 1t is not togbe expected that
clay diet will take entirely the place
of bread and meat, but it does this to a
certain extent. -!
In my country practice. which occa-
sionalIy carries me out into the sand
hills occasionally l say, for although
the sandhillers are the sickliest looking,
most cadayerous and woe-be-gone be-
ings in the world, they are the healthi-
est), have good opportunities to study
their peculiar habits. They can subsist
on exceedingly limited quantities of
meat; in fact they get very little to eat,
and that fat bacon about thrice week.
They are not lazy, but decidedly shift
less. They are troubled with few wants,
however, and these are supplied easily.
''Do they eat only one sort of clay ?"
Gas a general thing, yes" was the
reply. .ssbut sometimes their table is gar
nished by a kind of yellowish mari,
somewhat scarce, which they consume
with keen relish. 1t is said to taste
sweet, and they use it as dessert.
They, however, draw the line at red
clay. This not even their iTonclad
stomachs can digest. Don't you eat 5.
red clay p asked gawky old fellow.

to mind what Mis-. Martin had said !,
was sorely tempted to have a cry out
there in the gathering darkness all by
herself. She had been 80 snre that,
now the missing letters were in her
hand. the longed-fcr money would be
hers. But she was hot mercenary !;
it was not the coin she regretted it
was those fair visions she had allowed
her mental eyes to see, of snug home
where, within another year, she and
Eben should have their own Thanks
giving to keep, their own fat turkey to
roast. their own buttery full of appe-
tiZing danties.
She tried not to let her self say, even
IL only to herself, that there was little
for her TO give thanks for this year. and
little for h to look forward to which
would eyer ve worth remembering on
any future Thanksgiving Day. Of
course Eben would not stay single for
her sake he was too fond Of home-llfe
to be willing to 60 wifeless all his days,
and there were at least two girls Of her
acquaintance VIII would gladly marry
him.
AS she thus meditated, Eben'S voice
sounded in her ear

was her calm reply. She did hope her
eyes woud.not look red in this dim
light.
Pretty good. But, Eunice, your
pension is all humbug.'
Eunice was not surprised, yet the
news, so placidly told, was depressing.
He went on to describe his adyen-
lures and his interview with the clerk.

mand that their employers should re-
establish the eight-hour working days.
About 200 men remained at work in
Armour's beef department, ard that
house is killing few cattle as usual.

Gates that all the pork men will be or
dered OUT by the Knights OF Labor. thus
renewing the strike for eight hours
IN all It's former proportions. throwing
between 5000 and 600 men out OF
employment
at 2o'ciock this afternoon the men
employed in the pork packing esfab-
hshments were still ut work The strik-
ing beef men were endeavoring 70 in
duce 200 men who are still at Armour's,
and who refused to join the Others in
quitting work. to come out. One hun-
dred and ffty Pinkerton guards went 20
the yards at 2 20 this afternoon. The
sheriff said be had sworn in 80 picked
men, and said they would leave for the
yards a. 4 O'Clock this afternoon. -
Contrary TO the first repors, large
majority Of the beef packers at Ar
mOur's declined TO leave their work at
the order promulgated as coming from
J. ". Butler, their Master Workman in
the Knights OF Labor. Butler refused
to-day 70 acknowledge having issued
the order for them TO strike, and denied
being responsible for any such man
date. Just 400 men of the l, 500 en-
pioysd in Armour's house obeyed the
instructions 70 quit, and fully $50 Of the
800 quickly returned To work. No clear
explanation OF how the order came to
be circulated vas obtainable this even
ing. Master Workman Butter said he

this evening, of $50 armed men under
command OF deputy sheriff and Cap

ment. Each of the $50, when sum-
moned, was told to report at PIN
kerton headquarters. There 9 deputy

! deputies. The fact was that the
men were wholly or in part
members OF the Pinkerton guard con.
cerned in the recent shooting OF Ter
renee Begley. This the sheriff and his
/ deputies denied at first, but later would
only give 70 interrogatories on the
] subject an evasive reply. A meeting OF
| twenty-three delegates from the
different departments Of the packing
houses was held tonight to considerthe
question OF continuing or ending the
strike. The committee has advisory
power merely. What decision was ar
