Chester A. Arthur Dead.
A Year OF Suffering Exhausts the
System, and the Ex.President
Succumbs to the Inevitable,
Expiring Unexpectedly.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-Ex-President
Chester A. Arthur died at S O'Clock
this morning at his residence, No. 123
Lexington avenue. He had been ailing
for some time from a complication of
diseases5 principally kidney affection.
He had spent the summer at watering
placa and it was supposed that this had
strengthened somewhat his enfeebled
constitution. His.death was uneXpect-
ed, i. not being supposed outside of his
house that he was in any immediate
danger. AS soon as the news of his
death was announced many flags were
placed at half-mast on public and pri-
vate buildings. A stroke of cerebral
apoplexy, sudden, but not wholly unex-
pected by his physicians, terminated
Mr.. Arthur's life. The stroke came in
his sleep during Tuesday night and he
did not rally thereafter. For hours be-
fore the end came he was unconscious
to his surroundings. His son and
daughter, his sister, his former law
partner, Sherman w. Kneyals, and his
closest friend, Surrogate Rollins were
at his bedside. The funeral will take
place on Saturday at 9 a. M, from the
Church OF Heavenly Rest, on Fifth Ay-
enue. The Rev. DIR. Parker Morgan
will officiate. Mr.. Arthur was not a
member of any church, but his wife
formerly attended that church. The
remains will be inferred in Albany Ru-
raj Cemetery in the family plot.
James G. Reed, Private Secretary to
late ex.President Arthur, received all
the callers at the house of the Arthur's,
123 Lexington Avenue, to-day. The
family of the dead ex-Presldent, con-
sisting of bis son, Chester A. Arthur.

his sisters, Mrs. McElroy and Mrs. Cav,
denying themselves to all callers. They
remain in an apartment on the second
floor of the house and here they receive
dispatches conveying expressions of
sympathy from relatives and near
friends, but none are given to the pub
lie.

A FAMILY OF "SHAKERS. :"

How Worldly Possessions Are Managed
Worship of the "Benevers.'
The Warrensville Shakers make yearly
reports to the elders at Union Village,
Ohio, and are visited yearly by them.
Each family is in charge of an elder
Elder Miner being the head of the Cen
ter family and Elder Watson Andrews at
the head of the North family. The bust
ness of the Warrensville society is in the
hands of trustees. All property belongs
to the society as a body, being conse-
Grated to God, and its worldly owner
ship extends as far as the present society
at Mount Lebanon. When person joins
the society an inventory of his posses
sions is taken, and if he concludes to
withdraw all is returned. If he chooses
to do SO, he can cOnsecrate the property
and put it into the hands of the church.
Properly speaking, each family settle
ment consists of one large dwelling
house, where all the members have sep
arate rooms, with such other buildings
as their occupations may make neces-
sary. Industry is compulsory. Meal
times, bed time, milking time and the
time to rise is signaled on a bell on the
roof of the dwelling house. If any per-
son wishes to be excused from whatever
work he is given to do, he must gain the
consent of the elder.
There are seventeen societies in the
country, as follows: Mount Lebanon,
Watervliet, and Sonyea, in. New York;
West Pittsfeld, Aver, and Shirley, in
Massachusetts,; Shaker Station, in Con-
necticut; Shaker Village, and Enfield, in
New Hampshire; Alfred and West
Gloucester, in Maine; Pleasant Hill and
South Union, in Kentucky; and Water
vliet, Whitewater, Union Village and
North Union, in Ohio.
The worship of the Believers, it is pur-
ported, was systematically revealed to
Mother Ann Lee. It is principally
marching and singing, as is hereafter
described. A meeting-hous is built at
every settlement. The women occupy
one half and the men the other half.
The elder has charge of the services, and
speaks to the people. The members give
their testimony" when so inclined. Lit
tie is done in the way of oral prayer.
The Shakers believe that "every breath
should be prayer"-that prayer is
feeling impossible to express in words.
Before and after each meal they kneel at
their chairs in silent devotion In meet
ing the dancing is conducted by the men
and women first arising and standing in
two separate rows. They march back
ward and forward, singing earnestly,
and when sufficiently warmed up, arms,
heads, and bodies keep time with the
beating of the footsteps. Visitors were
often attracted to the meeting house by
those peculiar exercises, and the levity
that they nearly always displayed re-
suited in the doors being closed to all
outsiders who appeared to be actuated
by curiosity. The origin of the name
"Shakers" is apparent. The fact that it
was first used and is yet in any but re
spectful way, did not prevent the serene
Believers from recognizing it, or even
from giving it the dignity of actual
adoption.-Cor. Cleveland Leader.

A New Mineral in Montana.

A new mineral has been discovered in
gold-bearing ledge near Butte City,
Montana, which is described as carrying
considerable gold in places, but the latter
can not be separated from the strange
mineral by the ordinary process of work
ing gold ores. The mineral when melted
is white as silver, but much harder. 1t
takes about the same heat to melt it that
is required to melt silver, and weighs
about the same, but it is as hard as iron
after melting, while it is as soft as galena
before being subjected to heat-Chicago

A Man of violent Temper.

Sir David Baird, man of VIGOROUSLY
violent temper, was one of the prisoners
taken by Hyder Ali. The Oriental des-
pot chained his prisoners two by two and
flung them into the subterranean dun
geons of the fortress. The news of this
cruel incarceration, when it reached
England, sent thrill of horror through
the land; but the sole comment on it
made by Bairds stole mother was: God
help the puir chiel that's chained VII COR
Davy!"-Exchanpe.
