 hearty. The dinner was complete, shortly after nine o'clock and Mir, Win dom was introduced by Judge Arnout to respond to the toast, "Our Country Prosperity; Dependent on its Treatmen of Commerce"
 He finished his speech at 9:55 o'clock He had requested the audience not tc applaud. A quiver of fear shot over tht semblage like an electric shock as tht speaker finished. Windom was standing erect under the gas lights, with tn. faces of all turned toward him. For a moment the secretary stood silent while the banqueters watched him. It was a moment which no one who was present will forget. Then Mir Window sat down quietly, too quietly many thought The Toastmaster Arnou2 arose to introduce ex- Secretary of state Bayard as the next speaker.
 He began, but had not proceeded faI when Mir. Windom gave short sharE moan of anguish, ard fell back in his chair. His face grew purple, his lower limbs stiffsned and stretched out under the table. His eyelids opened and shut spasmodically, but there was DO gleam of intelligence in them. The cigar which he had been smoking was held be- tween the grim clinch of his teeth. For only moment he appeared thus. A cry went up from those sitting near the guest at the table, Look, look at MT Windom." Every eye was turned toward the man whose voice had jus: ceased. As they looked he collapsed in his chair and was falling to the floor.
 Messengers were hastily dispatched for electric batteries and as many as four were applied to his body, but it was rapidly growing cold. This was 1915 D. m. For six minutes electric shocks were applied necessarily, but without success.
 He was pronounced dead.
