Sudden Death OF Mr. william Pope In


the Treasury Department.
The Treasury Department today suffered the
loss Of one Of its oldest and most efficient en-
ployes, Mr. William Pope being stricken down
| suddenly at the department. and dying almost
Immediately. Mr.. Pope was eighty three years
OF age, and for twenty-six years past has been
employed in the third auditors Office. His
pleasant characteristics won him host Of
friends in this city who will be shocked and
grieved to hear Of his sudden end Mr.. Pope
may fairly be said to have
DIED IN HARNESS.
For some days he mas been feeling unwell,
but has according to his usual habit, been un-
failing in his attendance at the Office. Yesterday
he was at work as usual. although evidently
feeling badly and at times suffering great
pain. This morning Mr.. Pope came to
the department at the usual time and
entered the building on the basement
floor by the 18th street entrance. He walked
toward the elevator. but. feeling suddenly I'M
WELL was forced to seat himself on one of the
settces. Several OF Mr.. Popc's acquaintance
noticed him there and spoke to him. Mr.. Pope
complained Of pain in his chest, but seemed
to think the attack would pass of Immediately.
This was about S45 o'clock.
SICK UNTO DEATH.
The sickness. however was deadly one and
suddenly one of the messengers saw that Mr..
Pope was slipping from the settee to tho floor.
The messenger rushed to the sick mans as
slstance and he was conveyed to one of the side
rooms. Medical aid was mme diatelv sum-
moned, and Drs. Eaton, Granger and Prentiss
Immediately responded. Everything possible
was done for the patient, but, owing to the
seriousness OF the attack and the great
age OF the patient all attempts failed.
The stricken man did not seem to suffer and
became almost Immediately unconscious, and
in this state passed away. The patrol wagon
had been summoned in the hope that Mr..
Pope would recover sufficiently to be taken to
his home.
THE REMAINS TAKEN TO HIS HOME.
After his death the body was turned over to
Mr.. Wright, the undertaken, who conveyed it
to the dead mans home, 1923 s street. Mr.
Pope was the father Of William H. Pope, for
many years connected with the National Re-
publican and afterward with the Critic. The
dead man possessed wide circle of acquaint-
ances and much regret is felt at the sad end to-
day of long and useful life.
MIR. Pope was born in this city and entered
the Treasury Department under President
Lincolns administration. He was appointed
September II, 1864, examining property
clerk Of the quartermaster generals Office,
which position he held for several years, after
which he was connected with the files division
of the third auditors office. He was highly re-
spected by his fellow clerks. His death was
ascribed to heart failure.
The funeral will take place from the lnte
residence OF the deceased, No. 1928 street,
Saturday, at 10 o'clock.

PEOPLE are thinking more and
more of David Bennett Hill as a
Democrat who can be elected Presl-
dent of these United States. The
Democratic bachelor candidates are
always the lucky ones, too,-Waco
Day.
The campaign liars and anti-Hill
organs will certainly have an oppor-
tunity to get off that chestnut about
his knitting Grover Cleveland. He
certainly appears to be the coming
man. If the Lodge election bill is
enacted into law he will be certain
almost to be the democratic nominee
for the presidency. He is a demo,
crat, an incorporating foe to the
INSCRIPTIONS republican scoundrels
and knows how to fight the devil
with fire.

TALK about the STATESMAN just get,
ting off the fence! This paper led
the commission movement two years
ago, when it was the only journal
that had the backbone to come
square out, open and above board,
for the measure. Some editorial
gentlemen in North Texas have
short memories.-Austin Statesman.
Unless the Statesman can claim
that it has been consistent in its
advocacy it would better not make
the boast that it was the first paper
to advocate the measure. 1t was
not the first paper to advocate 1t,
and it is a recent thing in the pres
ent campaign that it has had any,
thing to say in favor of it.
