the same complaint. As ill as she was she adj
hered to the plans to start for home on the day
previously arranged and even fastened the prep
arations. At every stage Of the journey she
continued to grow worse, although at each stop
long enough from New York to Chicago ply
stefan met the sufferer and all that was possible
was done for her. In Chicago her feverish
anxiety to complete the journey kept her up,
but when she finally reached her home at Madi-
son she was almost in a dying condition. Her
disease had developed into malignant quinsy
and the physicians informed her that at
any. moment her throat was likely to
entirely close. AS last resort she
bravely submitted to the operation of tracheot-
omy. sitting up in a chair while it was per-
formed. All efforts were unavailing, however.
and death shortly afterward put an end to the
dreadful suffering which had been borne SO
heroicallv. What adds peculiar sadness to her

impossible to reach Senator Villas, who is ut
