Cause Of Mr.. ConkIInr,s Illness.

Henry c. Melville, of New York, the law as
soclate of Mr.. Conkllng, says: 1T was not the
bitter experience of the blizzard that brought
on Mr. Conkling's trouble. lie did not COM
plain at all of any pain or illness thereafter
Mr. Conkling contracted cold IN Judge Hor-
ace Russ ellis Office, March 90, while in con-
sultation with ex-Surrogate Rollins, Leslie
w. Russell, and Horace Russell There was
no fire in the room, and Mr.. Conkling shiv-
cred frequently. All next day he complained
of pain IN his ear. The following Monday.
April ?, / received letter from him, saying
he was i'll and could not attend TO business.
The next day visited him at his rooms. He
said that he had been IN perfect agony since
Friday. The physicians had given him so
much opium, he said, that he was beside him
self. The following Thursday l saw him
again He said he had not had wink Of
sleep in a week, and could not sit or lie still
in bed, such was his agony. He realized that
he was IN desperate state, but seemed to
think the pain was due To the opiate and not
to the abscess. He showed that delirium was
coming on him in other ways"

Governor HiIrs Comment.

Governor Hill, of New York, commenting
on the death Of Mr. Conkling, said: She
death OF such a man as Mr.. Conkling is a 10 8
10 the country at large, and especially to the
State he tried faithfully to serve. His career
as a statesman has been an unusually clean
and honest one, and the party to which he be-
longed is the only one that failed TO do him
honor The people in general must mourn the
loss of such q man and statesman"

His RoYhood Home.

On Madison avenue, near the Refo. med
Church, stands the house where Roscos Conk-
ling was born, Oct 30 1929, says the Albany
correspondent OF the Chicago Ne1oS. 1t to-
day presents practically the same appearance
as when that illustrious man first saw the
light OF day. 1t was here that the statesman,
when a boy, labored faithfully in the old
academy and acquired in it the rudiments of
an education that, in after years, made him
leader among men. From Albany Roscoe
Conkling was sent to New York and
placed under the instruction of pri-
vate tutor. There he was @birched into the
classics" as he was wont to say, but liked
them less than the English essayists and re-
viewers. His early passion was for rhetoric,
oratory, and politics, and to them he directed
no small share of his attention Old friends
here love to tell OF the promise of his early
days; how, while yet stripping, his person
atty drew about him a following, and his
oratorical gifts enchanted multitudes. He
was always a great student, and the light
often shone far into the night from his study
windows as he pored over the books in which
he sought the solution of knotty problems Of
law After reaching mans estate he fire.
quently visited his birthplace, and his old
friends gave him royal'welcome. His loss
is deeply felt here by citizens, irrespective of
party, who knew the man and honored him
for his true worth.

LONDON, Oct 26-The Parnell commission again
listened to Attorney General Webster's presenta.
ton Of the Times case to-day. The speaker con-
tinued TO recite a catalogue Of outrages supposed
70 De traceable to members OF the League, and
then quoted from speech,s Of Mr. Dillon and other
Parnelites 70 prove their support OF the plan OF
campaign. Hedealt In succession with q series OF
utterances made by Messra VIM. OBrfen, Cox,
kenny, and Matthew Harris, TO show their sym-
pathy with outrages, and he intimated his fnten.
tion 10 deal at length with violent orations OF
League members made In County Clare during the
years 1885, 1886, and 1887.
AT this Presiding Justice Hannen's patience
seemed 10 be exhausted, and, leaning forward. ne
asked the attorney-gener II he did not think he
mad already given sufficient indication OF the line
OF argument he intended to adopt.
SIT Charles Russell, counsel for Mr.. Parneh, sug-
gested tnat the encouragement might hand him
copies OF the speeches he meant 10 quote from,
and thus save time.
The Atto0ey- General replied that he must deal
with all the Irish counties he had picked out as
anord1ng the most striking proof OF the character
OF the Leagues agitation. He quite understood
Justice Hannen's hint and he was desirtous of
adopting any practical suggestion which would
enable him to shorten his remarks
The encouragement concluded his remarks by
stating that men who had actually participated In
0utrageS would be called as witnesses, and they
would tell what money had been paid TO them, and
how the crimes they were hired to commit were
arranged The court then adjourned until Tues
day.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
OF 1ugglers there are no end In Japan. Swell
japanese always have them at any large enter
tainment OF theirs One old man who could give
Heller points goes around In q single cotton gown
with two baskets full OF properties over his shoul-
derA and, putting them down anywhere, performs
his tricks with the audience encircling him. A
hat full OF coppers rewards him sufficiently, and
he goes on 10 eat nre, spit out eggs needles, Ian
terms and smoking pipes at the next place. At q
recent japanese dinner foreign guest determined
TO have no optical delu ions about what the Jug
Rlers did He never let his glances be distracted,
and was not once on bic guard Noticing this the
old JuGRler played to him entirely. An Immense
porcelain vase was brought In and set 10 the md
die VI the room, and the Jugger, crawling up, let
himself down into II slowly. The sceptic then SAT
for q half hour without taking his eyes from the
vase that he had nrst been convinced was sound
and nrm and stood on no trap-door. After this
prolonged watch the rest OF the company assailed
him with laughter and jeers and pointed TO his
side, where the old 1ugRler was seated tanning
himself, and had been seated for some minutes
Tue scepuc was dumfounded, and wanted the trick
repeated, but the whole company protested that
he bad had q fair chance TO catch the wizard and
had failed.

such goods He went upstairs, LOOKING probably
for Jewelry ana cash. He entered the room occu-
pied by Colonel COwies daughters and crawled
across the room on his hands and knees. The gas,
which was burning, had been turned down. The
burglar, no doubt, thought that the young women
were asleep as It was about O'Clock In the morn
Ing. Miss Maggie was not asleep, and when she
saw the negro she aroused her sister, Miss Frank
and both jumped out OF bed. Tue burglar then
started for the door, and was assisted by one OF
