TllDEN'S LAST DAYS.
How the " Sage of Greystone" Spent the
Declining Years OF His Life.

How the " Sage of Greystone" Spent the
Declining Years OF His Life.
Mr.. Tilden's last years have been
spent chiefly at Greystone park, his
beautiful country home. 1t lies on the
right bank of the Hudson in the town.
ship of Yonkers, Yew York. 1t is 45O
feet above the level of the Hudson river
at high water, and slopes in six natural
terraces down to the waters edge.
The house is beautiful one, contain
ing grand staircases and Railways and
spacious rooms of different descrip-
tions. In every niche and corner OF
Mr.. Tilden's rooms are crowded book
cases full of rare and valuable works
on various subjects. Mr.. Tilden has
usually awaked at 4:S0 o'clock a. m.
An electric bell at once summoned his
valet, who gave his medicine, which he
took as regularly as he did his food.
Then he would lie still, but not doing,
until about eight o'clock, when he
arose. At nine o'clock he was assisted
downstairs to breakfast, which ordi-
narily consisted of milk and some rich
broth. Paralysis made it necessary for
some one to feed him, and this duty
was performed by his faithful compan-
ion, Miss Anna Gould, the sister of the
wife of the dead statesman's brother
Henry. At breakfast the morning pa
pers were read to him. Although very
feeble physically, Mr.. Tilden's mind
was vigorous to the last and he often
surprised his friends by the thorough
ness of detail with which he directed
the business of his estate. His memory
was marvelously retentive. Some
times in fine weather his condition ad-
mitted of his taking walks and drives.
Mr.. Tilden was very fond of the trees,
flowers and animals he raised on his
place. For FIVE years he had been un-
able to speak above a whisper, owing
toparalysis of the vocal chords He suf-
fered considerably from insomnia He
was fond of fiction, liking love-story
with an intricate plot.-Albany IN ~

Willing to Be Translated.

A man was crushed by having well
cave in on him in Fargo, d. T., one
day recently and died few hours after
being rescued. Some of his neighbors
were talking about it the next day.
"Well," said Colonel Bentley, "Jones
was a good fellow, and I'm sorry he's
gone. Did you help rescue him, Cap
tainP"
"Yes, and Major Powers and Judge
Alexander took him out, and stayed
with him till he died. AS was just

"But they say he was resignedP"
"Yes, he was"

ISOLATION of his dying momentsp"
"Well, he seemed to get some COM
fort from religion, but he said that what
really made him resigned to death
was the fact that he was the
only man in Fargo without title.
He said he guessed it was better that
he should go."-EsteIline I'd. IT, Bell.

A Liberal Reward.

A rock weighing over ton fell on
the track of the Derby railroad, and
was seen by two twelve-year-old New
Haven boys. One of them, Willie
Kehoe, at once began stripping to get
off his red undershirt, but the other,
Christie Holton, ran to some boys on
the bank and got red handkerchief.
This was vigorously waved as train
came around the curve. The engineer
Stacked up, but, seeing that the flag
was waved by small boys, started on
again. The boys made such frantic
signals that he decided to stop, and
brought his locomotive to halt q
hundred feet from the bowlder. 1t
took nearly half an hour to remove it.
The passengers were so pleased at be-
ing rescued from danger that they gave
four dollars and twenty cents to the
boys, which is considered a good deal

THE ADVANCE IN CENTRAL.
The Stock Eight Points Higher Than
1t was a Week AGO.


The boom in Central is still on. The
stock touched 1917 yesterday. This is
eight points higher than it was a week
ago, and it is a good deal higher it was
thought n few weeks back than it would
ever get.
The market was feverish. Between
600 and 700 shares changed hands. Most
OF the stock though was bought by Sa-
vanuah parties. A gentleman who is
well posted in stock movements SAID that
he thought its boom is about over, and
that there will be a dead stop pretty
soon. Others think that it will
last until the middle of next month. 1t
is necessary that all stock that is to be
voted at the next election be transferred
by Oct. !, three months befot g the election
occurs, otherwise 1t is dead.
a good deal has been purchased though
by parties whose names will not appear
on the transfer books. Just now much.
there is no telling. This is done by pur-
chasing with the stock a power of attor-
ney and proxy. The scrip and all is placed
IN the brokers hands. The proxy may be
in blank and the seller may not know
To whom he is selling. The broker holds
the proxy subject to the purchasers order.
IL may be called for at any time. In this
way almost any amount of stock may
change hands and the company is none
the wiser. The fact that good deal has
been disposed OF in this way has given
rise TO the rumor In one direction that out
siders are trying TO get control OF the
road.

changed hands this week has
been small holdings. The large

much higher than it is now and that he
is confident that il will never reach 10.

on advancing for some time yet.
