Senator Barbour Dead.

Senator John 5. Barbour, of Virginia,
died suddenly Saturday morning at his res
idence in Washington city, OF heart failure.
Saturdays Star says:
1t was just 5:l5 this morning wnen MISS
Ellen Daingerfeld was awakened by the
sound of knocking on the door of her cham
Der. She wanted to know what was the
matter and was distressed when the Senator
said he felt very i'll indeed and would Ike
to have some one go for doctor. There
was obstruction in his throat, was the SEN
ator's complaint, and as the difficulty In
breathing was accompanied by pain he fear
ed an attack of Group. In a little while
the entire household was aroused, a messen-
ger ran to the house of DR.. ]. W. Bayne
and Miss Daingerfeld went into the Sena-
tors room. The sick man was seated on the
edge of his bed, his head bowed and owl
IDENTIFY suffering much.
He was persuaded to lie down and then
almost instantly became unconscious. Capt.
Shepherd had been called and he responded
with all haste, but before he could reach
the bedside the Senator died.
To the Democratic party in Virginia.
Mr.. Barbour, like so many Others oil his
family, was both leader and mentor. A pru-
dent and far-seeing rather than brilliant
man, he rendered valuable service for many
years in giving his people sensible advice.
The Barbours are q historical family, the
late Senator's father, John s. Barbour, ST.,
his cousins, Senator and Secretary james
Barbour, and ex-Speaker and Justice Philip
Pendleton Barbour of the United States
Supreme Court, as we'll as later members,
being we'll known in the history of the Re-
public and the State Logical debator5 in
Congress, able mentors of the cabinet OF
ministers at foreign courts, governors of the
State, wherever placed, they stand with the
foremost men of their respective generations
Senator Barbours nearest relative living is
Hon. James Barbour, brother, of Culpep-
er county.
The funeral services in the Senate cham
Der on Monday were of the most impress
sive character. The announcement OF the
death of Senator Barbour was made
by Senator Kenna, and most elo'
quent and touching tribute it was, too; and
Bishop Keane, of the Catholic Church, of
ficiated, assisted by dozen clergymen OF
that church, and delivered a eulogy that in
no wise discounted his great reputation fol-
oratOry. West Virginia was represented al
the burial place by Senator Kenna and
Representative Wilson. The intermenl
was in Maryland, some twelve miles from
Washington. This is said to have been the
Iirst instance of a Catholic service in the
Senate chamber.

Wise Young Woman.

Young Adolphus Fitswiliam, he loved a fair
maid
But to ask her 10 marry him he was afraid,
Because Of catarrh, which she had very bad
So much so tina! often the youth was quite
glad
To omit, at the parting, the kiss of the lover.
The reason Of this she set out TO discover.
"Catarrh makes me loatheSome. It's fatal to
love
o. darling Adolphus by all that's above,
l VOW I'll not lose thee If something there ia
To drive ont cstarrh and to sWeeteR a kiss
So this young woman began searching for
a cure, and good luck attended her. She
found Dr. Sages Catarrh Remedy, at the
drug store. and felt convinced that prepa-
ration which the proprietors had such con-
fidence in that they were willing to offer to
pay $500 for a case they cannot cure, must
be worth trying. She bought it. She tried
it. 1t cured her. And when Adolphus
kissed her at the altar last week, her kiss
was as sweet and pure as roses in June.
Girls, a word of advice; If you want
lover to stay lover, you must get rid of
catarrh Do as this sensible girl did, and
get the only sure remedy for this disgusting
and dangerous diSease-Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy.
