The fact that the official term of At
torney General Biggs will expire before
the next regular term Of court in Sussex,
has elected from the press expressions OF
regard and good will, that must be as
gratifying to the recipient as they are
thoroughly deserved Mr.. Biggs has
steadily grown IN the popular estimation
since the day he received his appoint
meDt, and his enviable reputation rests
entirely upon his merits He proved,
very early in his career, that he possessed
rare qualifications for an Office which tests
as'few others do, the incumbent's real
worth In the matter of marshaling his
facts so as to present the evidence in the
most telling way Mr.. Biggs ranks very
high among public prosecutors; and in
going to the jury. the earnestness of his
manner and the apparent conviction that
he is engaged in the performance of a
very serious, and, at times, painful duty,
produces an effect that no amount OF
orNtorical pyrotechnics can accomplish.
He has won the respect of the bench, the
bar, and the public, and has earned that
most honorable of titles. faithful pub
lie servant. -Lewes Pilot.

New York Times.
The European tensions seem to have
been very considerably relieved within
the past few weeks. Just after the
'Cronstadt incident" and the French
manmuvrss It seemed that France was
convinced that the hour for which she
has been waiting twenty years had at
last arrived. That France will attack
Germany whenever majority of French
men believe that she can beat Germany
may be safely taken for granted; and the
elaVion Of The nation over the showing
made ky the French Navy In Northern
waters and by the French Army in the
manmnvres was due mainly to the conf
dence ia the result of a war that these
demonstrations inspired. There was
something very unlike military habits
in the freedom and enthusiasm with
which the official representative of
Germany expressed his admiration Of the
French troops II does not appear that
he has been rebuked for his indiscretion,
while his sentiments appear TO be shared
BY all the officers Of the German Army.
Their unanimity on this point 50 sur
prised an American tourist In Berlin
that he inquired Of a friend, who was
also German officer. whether the lauda.
ton was not INSPIRED AT which the
German officer smiled and said nothing.

twenty One Weeks, Passes
From Earth.
Els Death Was Due Solely to tn .
Lapse Of Very Many
Years
Eventful Career of the Greatest nf show
men-His First Venture In the
Amusement World.

BRlDaEpoEr, Conn.,, April 1.-The great
Snowman, p. Il. Barnum, died at G:22
O'Clock this evening in the presence of his
grief-strcken family. Duling the period
of Barnum's invalidism and confinement
to the house, which began twenty one
weeks ago last Friday, there have been
frequent fluctuations in his condition, from
each OF which he rallied, although in each
instance with slightly lowered vitality.
The change for worse, which oc-
cured last night, however. was SO
pronounced that it conSnced the phys
lclans that the patient had not many more
hours to live. During his confinement he
had been down stairs only twice, although
sitting up much of the time. and being
cheerful and conyersationally inclined in
waking moments. After the attack which
came upon him shortly before midnight Bar
mum suffered good deal of pain. He seemed
to realize that he couldn't live much
longer, and spoke of the approaching end
with calmness. During his illness the ply
slclans have been careful about admins
tering morphine or sedatives, through fear
that they might produce ulterior ill effects.
Last night Barnum spoke of this and said
that when all hope was gone he wished to
be given sedatlves which would allay pain
and make his death as peaceful as possible.
The first sedative was given at 1910 this
mor.ilng. 1t was understood by the pa
t1ent and family to mean that the end was
near. Mrs. Barnum remained at her hus-
bands side throughout tho night. In al
ternate spells of doing aud conversation,
which showed his brain to bc as clear as
ever, Barnum passed the hour until four
O'Clock this morning, when he sank into
q letharey, which was a condition of stu
por rather than of sleep. 10
rouse him from this state
of inconsistencies was difficult.
This afternoon he raised somewhat while
hey. MIR. Fisher bent over the dying man
and spoke to him words of religious con-
ISOLATION. Barnum's eyes Frightened as the
scrlptnral promises were recalled to him
and he half nodded his head in assent.
Shortly after II O'Clock he took sedative
fank iatssRe inta peaceful sleep whis afternoon
ton, from which 1t was evident
there would be little hope of his again re-
turning to consciousness. When the end
esssally came it was peaceful and to all ap-
pearanSe, painless. Physicians say he had
no organic disease whatever the enfeebled
heart action which had been apparent for
the past few months being due 10 the grad
ual failure Of his general mental powers,
resulting from old age.
In general way MIR. BaInum prescribed
the directions for his funeral. He wished
it to be of private character and unos-
tentatious.
