a WARNING.

The modes of deaths approach are various, and
statistics show concluswely that more persons die
from diseases Of the Throat and Lungs than any
other. 1t is probable that everyone, without ex-
ception, receives vast numbers Of Tubercle Germs
into the system, and where these germs fall upon
suitable soil they start into life and develop, at
first slowly and is shown by slight tickling SEN
sation in the throat, and If allowed to continue
their rayages they extend to the lungs, producing
Consumption, and to the head, causing Catarrh.
Now all this is dangerous, and If allowed to pro
coed will, in time, cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing cold to 60
without attention is dangerous. and may lose you
your life. AS soon as you feel that something is
wrong with your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, OBJ

breathed very heavily. He opened his
eyes at times, and seemed to be con-
scious that people were about him. but
he did not recognize them. His last mo-
ment Of clear consciousness appears to
have been in the morning, when he ST.
lenily pressed Dr. Barker's hand at the
physicians first visit. DR.. Anderton sat
with the relatives awaiting the final mo-
ment. Law papers connected with the
cases that the ex-senator had been act
lively engaged in just before he was taken
sick were scattered over the large desk
in the front room, which Mr.. Conkling
used as his study and workroom. Tele-
grams of sympathy numbered by the
score were spread over the same desk.
The family intended TO preserve these.
Flowers bloomed on the table, too. They

LIFE OF THE EX-SENATOR.
Colonel Conkling LEFT the room after a
ten minutes whispered talk with his sis
ter-in-iaw, and the others and Alderman
Conkling followed him and took little
fresh air. He said that it. appeared at
Q o'clock that Mr.. Conkling would live
about II hours still, owing 10 his great vi
tality. Alderman Conkiing also said
that he Was going TO prepare a life of the
ex-senator. He has been busy for the
last ten years, unknown to Mr. Conk-
ling, gathering material for it. Ex-Sec-
retary William Window called jnst be-
fore 9 o'clock and was shown to the sick
room just before he came there had
been a little informal talk about the
funeral, bat no definite arrangements
were made.
A uniformed band of itinerant musi-
clans gathered on the opposite sidewalk
some distance from the hotel annex and
played an operatic air. One of Captain
ReilIy's policemen hurried across the
street and stopped it.
DR.. Barker arrived with DR.. Sands at
9:l5 and spent - minutes with the pa
tent. DR.. Barker had rested, and was
in better spirits than at his previous visit.
DR.. Sands did not 20 with him TO the
sick room. DR.. Barker said on coming
out:
Mr.. Conkling's system is sinking fast,
and it looks as though he could not now
live through the night, although he may
last until morning, despite contrary indi-
cations. He is now lying perfectly pass
i've, and is not wearing himself out phys
icalIy, if mentally. His cough has abat-
ed. His temperature is now I02. His
pulse is now 40 and his respiration IS

That Tired Feeling

Affects nearly every one in the spring
The system having become accustomed
to the bracing air of winter, is weakened
by the warm days OF the changing sea-
son, and readily yields to attacks of dis
ease. Hoods sarsaparilla is just the med
icine needed. 1t tones and builds up
every part of the body, and also expeis
all impurities from the blood. Try it

AT THE BEDSIDE.

Colonel Fred Grant and his wife called
a few minutes later, and were admitted
to Mrs. Conkling's presence. She was
almost worn out physically. and greatly
depressed mentally. She had caught a
cold two DAYS before and is had affected
her eyes, but she had passed the greater
part of Sunday night at her husbands
bedside, being relieved at intervals by
Mrs. Oakman, the Senator's daughter.
Mr. Conkling, who had been in a semi
stupor all the morning, relapsel into un-
consciousness at noon, and at l2;.30 o'clock
the symptoms Of pulmonary edema were
unmistakable. DIR. Barker came back at
$50 O'Clock, and at the end of a half
hours conference he came to the door
and verbally reported that hope was
abandoned.
"Mr. Conkling has grown steadily worse
since 1859 o'clock" he said. "He has de-
veloped eedema. His pulse is steadily
increasing in feverishness, and ne can
hardly last until morning.
The doctor returned a third time at
SOS. He remained but five minutes, and
came away with a distressed look on his
face. lie was so completely worn out
himself that he could hardly hold him
self erect to talk with the reporters.
"Mr Conkling is sinking pretty fast, .
he said, with very considerable emotion.
His lungs are filling up faster and faster
He has TO struggle now to breathe, and
his breathing is spasmodic and rapid.
He has been exerting all his vital power,
but that is giving out. His vitality is 80
wonderful, however, that he NAV last
until morning, although he may pro5a-
bly, pass away before midnight, and he
may 90 at any moment" DR.. Barker
complained that he felt like drunken
man, and that his brain was in a whirl
from exhaustion. He staggered as he
walked to bis carriage.

PEACE IN DEATH.

Calmly and Without Suf-
fering.

Roscoe Conkling died at l:50 Az
The announcement was given to the
crowd waiting in the street by Judge
Coke, who came to the door on Twenty
fourth street and said '.It is all over
He had been sinking gradually since
noon. The hopes engendered on sun
day dwindled with the rising of rfle
mornings sun. BY noon they had van
ished entirely, and at 1890 the doctors
formally gave up the case. At 1870 A. NJ
he was alive, bat the faintess symptoms
Of vitality only were discerned in his
wasted body. His feet and hands were
cold, and the blood was gurgIing up from
his lungs. which ultimately choked him.
He brea,hed in short, weak gasps, and
was wholly insensible and almost wholly
palseless. The fsmily had gathered
about his bed counting the minutes until
the end.
II midnight Dr. Earker left the house,
after long visit lie said at that time
that it was only question of few hours
at the most. A less powerful oonstitu-
tion would have long since succumbed.
WHEN THEY LOST HOPE.
All hope Of recovery was abandoned at
1890 O'Clock in the afternoon, when pull
monary Gdema, the settling Of blood in
the lungs by reason of gradual heart fail
ure, was developed, and made it certain
that dissolution was only question of
hours. The improvement that had
marked the sufferers condition on Sun
day continued the first of the night, and
he rested more quietly than he had rest
ed in some days. But before morning il
became evident that this seeming quiet
ness of siumber was the result of grow
ing physical weakness Dr. Barker drove
up in his carriage at . A. NJ, and was in
the sick room with DIR. Anderson for an
hour. When he came out there WIS no
sign Of the buoyancy that had marked
his manner ever since Mr.. Conkling was
taken sick. He saw that Mr.. Conkling's
mind WAS growing clouded. The patient
had taken about forty ounces of food,
mostly milk, since Sunday evening. His
pulse was 9S, and he was semi-uneon-
scious.
Lawyer Henry Melville, Mr.. Conkling's
law partner, called Just as Dr. Barker was
going away, and said when he came out
that the patient was in critical eondi-
ton. Alderman Conkling, Isaac II. Bai-
ley and c. A. Stevens were in the next
room when DR.. Barker called, and they
were satisfied that the end was very near
at hand.

coyKLrSc's CAREER.

Roscoe Codkling was born in Albany
on the 30th Of October, ls2S. His father
Alfred Conkling, was Judge of the
United States District Court by appoint
ment of President John Quincy Adams
in 1925. He had served rs Representa-
tive in the Seventeenth Congress, ard in
1852 was appointed by President Fill
more to be Minister 10 Mexico. He wrote
several books on law, one of which,
known as "Conkling's Treatise is a
standard work found in nearly every
lawyers library.
Roscoe attended the common schools
of Albany, and had no opportunity in
his boyhood to study the classics. His
remarkable familiarity with the ancient
and modern literature was gained by pri-
yate study after he had left school His
father removed from Albany to Auburn
and later TO Geneva. where Roscoe stud
led law He was not noted as student
in those DAYS, although he impressed all
his associates as young man of ability.
After he had read law with his father
for time he entered the Office OF Spen-
Ger K kiernan in Utica. The Herman
was Francis Herman, aflerward United
States Senator from New York, and it
happened several times in his scareer that
Roscoe ConkIing was the political adver-
sary Of his instructor. Conkling was
prepared for The bar before he attained
his majority and made no small impress
sion while yet a minor. His abilities
were so pronounced that Hamilton Fish
appointed him District Attorney for
Oneida county month before ne came
of age. He was admitted to the bar on
his twenty-fist birthday. He was already
actively interested in politics and was
becoming a local leader, but even then
his leadership was of the same quality
that marked it when he had the entire
Republican party of this State under con-
froi. lie was domineering almost to the
degree of arrogance, and not a politician
who depended on the eurrying of per
sonai favor. In all his career he kept
himself at the front by force of his char
acter rather than by the condensing suav.
ity Of the ordinary politician. As party
leader he was a thorough tactician, and
he relied confidently npon the discipline
of his forces to accomplish party ends.
A SUCCESSFUL LAWYER
As lawyer he was remarkably sue
cessful from the beginning in criminal
practice, and the nature of his public Of
fice in Utica kept him constantly busy
with criminal cases. 1t happened, there

and Detective Jacobs and Superintend-
ent Loud, of the hotel, stationed them
selves at the top Of the stoop and passed
no one who had not the right to enter.

daughter, and Mr.. 0akham, the ex-Sena-

a brass bedstead in the bedroom, which
is the rear room of series of three. on
the second floor, looking out upon Twen-

with some violence at intervals and
