Death of the Well-KnOWn New

A Sketch of His Long and Event
full Public Career.

Congressman S. s. Cox died about half
past o'clock in the evening at his home, No.
10 East Twelfth street, New York city, from
peritonitis. His wife DR.. Lockwood and a
few friends were at his bedside. He was con-
scious almost to the end. During the day he
recognized his wife, some Of his friends and
an old cOlOred servant who came on from
Washington TO see him.
Only q few days before, Mr.. Cox was pre-
pairing a speech on the new States, eInbOdy-
ing his recent observations in the West. for
delivery before the Judge Steckler AsSocia-
ton, Democratic club in Second avenue,
New York city. The title of his lecture was

society met at their rooms, and sat about in
gloomy groups reading with anxiety the fire.

length the news came that their frien' had
gone to the Wonderland of which he could
tell them nothing.
There were many callers at the house dur
ing the day, and kilograms were received
from the Turkish Minister and other
well-knOwn men. Among the friends
who called were: General Fitz-John Porter,
George Francis Train, Congressman
John J. O'Neil, of st. Louis; ex-Judge

vile, ONO arrived IN the afternoon, as also
did her sister, Mrs. Hardenburg.
About two years ago Mr.. Cox had a serious
illness from which it was not thought he could
recover, and the recollection of his wonderful
rally at that time, after the physicians had
pronounced his case hopeless, caused his
friends to cherish the hope that the same
thing might happen again. Almost his last
words were in regard to the new States of the
great West and plans which he had formed
for advocating the admission of New Mexico
and Wyoming at the next session of Con
gress.
A change which told of the approaching
end took place early in the day, and in spite
of his cheerfulness and a brave effort to hold
on to life, he sunk gradually, and even at five
o'clock the doctors thought death so immi-
nent that members of the household wer~
summoned to the bedside

The Oldest Bank Notes.

The oldest bank notes are the
flying money" or convenient
money" first issued in China 1897 B.
G. Originally these notes were issued
by the treasury, butas experience die
tated a change to the banks under gov
eminent inspection and control. The
early Chinese greenbacks were in
all essentials similar to the modern
bank notes, bearing the name Of
the bank, date of issue, the num-
Der of note, the signature Of the
official issuing it, indications of it's
value in figures, in words and in the
pictorial representatives in coins or
heaps Of coins equal in amount to it's
face value, and notice of the pains
and penalties Of counterfeiting. Over
and above all was q laconic exhorta-
ton to industry and thrift, Produce
all you can; spend with economy"
The notes were printed in blue ink on
paper made from the fibre of the null
berry tree. One issue, in 1899 B. c.,
is still carefully pre- served in the
Asiatic Museum at st. Petersburg.
