THE DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTRIC POWER
is yet in its infancy. But it has made pro-
gress enough to indicate very clearly that it is
destined to produce more changes in the indus
trial affairs and economic conditions of civil

any agency of force that has been brought
under the control Of man. The progress that
has been made so far in turning electrical
energy to the service of man makes it certain
that its use will become practically illimitable.
Its possibilities are yet, and probably will re-

The application OF electricity to the arts and

Biographical Sketch.

The Last Moments of Dying Statesman
Biographical Sketch.
New YORK, September 1Oth.-Congress-
man Sunset" Cox died at 1888 o'clock this
evening The end was quiet, and the dying
man breathed bis last as peacefully as il
falling into light sleep.
Mrs. Cox, who had been scarcely away
from his beside for the past two days and
nights, held his left hand, while his old
friend Douglass Taylor held the other.
He had been conscious all day until
about quarter of an hour before the end.
Mr.. Cox's last conversation was about the
four Territories, whose Statehood he hoped
to father.
He mentioned New Mexico and Arizona,
and said something about making great
effort in their behalf at the coming session.
In the afternoon while DR.. Lockwood
was talking to him, Cox made some witty
remarks which completely upset the Doc
tors dignity.
Late in the afternoon kilograms were
sent to Cox's three sisters, two of whom
live in GAINESVILLE, o., and the other in
st. Louis. Cox's nephew, who is Superin-
tendent Of the Smithsonian Institute was
also telegraphed for.
DIR. Lockwood said the immediate cause
of death was heart failure, and the cause
peritonitis
Teleerams were sent to the Sergeant. at
Arms of the House of Representatives
Leedom, and to Speaker Carlisle.
Samuel Sullivan Cox was born in Zanes-
vile, Ohio, on the 80 day of September,
1924 He was the son of Ezekiel Taylo
Cox, a meIuber of the Ohio Senate in
1923 He attended the Ohio University,
at Athens. and was graduated at Brown IN
1876 During his stay in college he main

erary criticism and political economy
Adopting the profession of the law he
returned to Ohio TO begin practice but soon
laid it aside and went to Europe. On his
return he became, in 1858, editor of the
Columbus, O., Statesman, and from that
time turned his attention to political issues.
While editing this journal he published
a gorgeous description in sophomore
strain, which earned for him the soubriquet
of Sunset" Cox. Mr.. Cox was offered in
1855 the Secretaryship of the Legation in
London. but declined it. The opportunity
was given him not long after of going to
Lima, Peru, in similar capacity and he
accepted.
He remained in Peru one year, and on
his return was elected TO Congress, and re-
elected three times serving continuously
from December 7th, 1857, till March 8,
1865 During three terms he was Chair
man of the Committee on Revolutionary
Claims.
He was delegate TO the Chicago, New
York and st. Louis Democratic Conven-
tions of 1864, 1868 and 1876 During the
civil war he sustained the Government by
