after treatment. Ferry felt relieved and
fell into sound sleep. He was partly
dressed ut $3.50, and we helped him to an
armchair, and for an hour he WAS in con
dltion Of such extreme prostration that he
could talk but lttle.'
At 1880 he began struggling for breath.
After q sudden rally he had another sink
ing. turn. These alternations of rallying
and sinking continued until Ave o'clock
when he raised himself in his seat, and
looking at his wife ti1edly exclaimed. "Save
me. and fell back exhausted. His struggle
Tor breath became agoniziug and physicians
injected morphine to relieve him. After q
| few unintellgible words he fell into state
of coma, which ended with his death. He
died in the arm chair in which for years he
had done all his writing and reading. All
members of his family and Mime. Floquet
were beside him to the last
The news of Ferry's death sstounded the
city. None since Gambetta's death has
made such an impression. Hundreds of
politicians called at the house during the
evening and inscribed. their names in the
VISITORS book. The general feeling is that
although Ferry's election to the presidency
of the senate was contrary to the wishes of
Carnot and Ribot his death is a serious loss
to the government. AS yet the names of
his possible successor to the presidency of
the senate are hardly mentioned.
Jules Francois Camille Ferry was elected
presluent OF the frencn senate by q major
ity OF Jas votes less than one month ago.
He was horn at Saint Die, in the Vosges.
April g. 1882. He studied law in Paris. was
admitted to tho bar there in 1864, took part
in journalism and joined the opposition to
Napoleon III, beng one of those con-
demned in tho Trial of the Thirteen in
1864. In 1869 he was elected TO the Corps
Legislatif and sat with the left. He
quickly made himself conspicuous, propos-
ing the abolition of the court that acqut-
ted Prince Pierre Bonapart and also the
dissolution of tho Corps Legislatif as no
longer representing the people. He voted
against the declaration of war with Prussia.
When the empire fell IN 1870 he was mac
secretary OF the provisional government of
the national defense. and since then has
held several high public offices.
In lSsO he became prime minister, but
his ministry fell a victim to it's Iunis eYpe-
dition policy. In 1888 Ferry again became
prime minister, but his ministry WAS ended
through the mishaps OF tho Tonquin cam
paicn. The unpopularity he then acquired
was potent element in his defeat for tho
presidency on nj. Crews resignation.

Stannch Friend OF the Republic Lost In
His Dsath-skateh of HIS Bril-
liant Career.

PARIS March 17.--Jules Francois Camille
Ferry. the celebrated statesman, is dsad.
Hia death was caused by heart disease.
The affection OF tho heart from which he
suffered wes due to the effect of bullet
striking rib near the base Of the heart MT
the time he was attacked by Aubertn in
1887. He was seized with spesms early this
morning. and despite every effort made by
physicians who were hastily SUNNI moned,
the convulsions continued to grow in vio-
lence until at six o'clock in the evening be
expired in terribly severs sparms.
Nine Ferry said in an interview with a
reporter this evening: For the Inst two
weeks Ferry complained of difficulty in
breathing. His sleep was much broken and
his general health suffered in consequence
In the last few days he seemed TO recover
somewhat his former energy and spirits.

at Union City, which. although partly To-
Gated III Ohio. is always spoken OF as IN
Indiana town.
He began life as a dry goods clerk. He
studied law. was admitted to the bar and
soon acquired large and lucrative prac-
tice.
| When tho war broke out he was made a
| captain in the Fourth Indiana cavalry. In
1863 he was discharged on account of i'll
health.
At the outset of his political career Mr.
Gray was a republican. He ran for con-
gress as a republican in 1866 and was de-
feated by George w. Julian. Two years
later he was elected as q republican to the
state senate, in which he became the re-
pointed him consul to st. Thomas in 1870
but Gray would not accept the place be-
canse he disapproved of Grants policy. In
1872. on the same grounds, he refused re-
nomination to tho state senate.
Mr. Gray was delegate Mt large from
Indiana to the liberal republican conven-
tion which nominated Greeley. He refused
in 1874 to accept the democratio nomina-
tion for the attorney-Reneralship of In
diana.
Indiana supported ex-Gov. Gray for the
vice pr esidenoy IN the st. Louis convention
in 1888. and last year he was talked of as
possible democratic candidate for the pres
idenoy. When M. Cleveland's renomina-
tion was assured Mr.. Gray's friends advo-
Gated his nomination to the vice-presi-
denoy. In 1876 MIR. Gray was elected
lieutenant governor on the democratic
ticket with "Blue Jeans'' Williams, who
defeated Ben jamin Harrison for governor.
Williams died before the expiration of his
term and Gray held the office Of governo,
for time. In the presidential campaign
of 1884 Mr.. Gray was the democratic cnndi-
date for governor ana was elected over w.
il. Calkins by majority larger than the
one given by Indiana to Cleveland in that
year.

An Illustration of How Helena Impresses
the Observant Visitor
Every day furnishes striking illustrations
of the way Helena impresses visitors from
the east. One of these is furnished by the
following extract from letter written by
A. j. Stenseth, of Il. l.. Polk O. Co, after Il
residence of three months in this city, to
A. C. Jordan, of ST. Paul:
"But Helena is the place to live in so far
as health and pleasure aro concerned.

Helena. The future holds q great destiny
for the Queen City of the Rockies. Helena
1s a city OF immense wealth and nature has
surrounded her with rich resources and she
is bound to become one OF the most impor-
tant and beautiful cities of the land of the
hidden treasure.
The summer resort, only two miles from
the heart of the city, called Btondwater,
where the Hotal Broadwater and tho nata-
torium are built. is beautiful, and it would
take man long time to satisfy his admir-
alton for the place. The water is supplied
from natural hot springs. about one
mile distant from the natatorum, and
around the hotel are beautiful fountains
surrounded by green lawns. trees and shrub
berry. The buildings are Immense, and to
me this is one of the paradises of the west"

THE SERVING OF PAPERS.
Trouble Likely Over the County Cor
missioneTs' Order.

Trouble Likely Over the County Com
missioneIs' Order.
The recent order of the county commits
sioners, that all papers In criminal cases
before justices of the peace shall be served
by deputy sheriff, is likely to lead to some
trouble, and may even get into the courts
for final determination. The justices OF
the peace and the police magistrate will
hand their papers to tho most convenient
constable or policeman to serve, regardless
of the orders Of the county commissioners.
When the bills for this service reach
the county auditor they, will very
likely be disapproved. An inlunc-
tion will then probably be asked
to compel the auditor to allow
the accounts and this will bring tho matter
of the commissioners powers in the matter
suuarely before the court. One of the first
criminal cases that has come up before a
magistrate since the commissioners made
their order was one that was tried before
Judge Gage last night. Judge Gage made
out his subpnnas yesterday afternoon and
they were placed in the hands of a police
man for service. When the end of the
quarter arrives Marshal Calvin will pre-
sent his claims for this service. If not al
lowed a suit will undoubtedly be filed and
q test case made right away.

Impassioned Peroration at the
Close of the Address of M.
Barboux.
Tontans's Attorney Given an Ovation for
His Vigorous Defense of tho Mem-
bers of tho Bar.

PARIS, March 17.-Barboux, counsel for
Charles DeLesseps, resumed his argument
for the defense on the opening Of court
this morning. He maintained that his
| client is ignorant of the manner in which
Baron Reinach used the money paid him
by the canal company; that the evidence in
the case proved that the efforts of Gle M
enceau, Floquet and DeFrey cinst to pre-.
vent law suit from being instituted by
Reinach against the company were made
solely i'll tho interests of the governments.
He said that from the outset of the trial
the country looked upon it less for its value
than as symptom of French public life.

OF office and not alone those accused
here. but others also might have been prose-
cuted in order to satisfy public opinion.

Dubuit then proceeded to argue in de-
fense of II. Marcus Fontane. He urged
that there is nothing in evidence to sustain
the charge against Fontaine. Dubuit re-
ceived MI ovation on account Of his spirited
protest yesterday against Premier Rlbots
imputation on the members of the bar. in
his statement In the chamber of deputies.
When Dubuit arrived in the robng room Of
the ass,ze court, before the resumption Of
the trial, members of the bar cbeered and
waved their official caps several minutes.
Dubuit was warmly congratulated on his
effort as q sucoessful refutation of Ribots
charges. The incident, which efose out of
report that counsel for Cottu intended to
mako an open statement in court to the
effect thnt certain foreign AMBASSADORS
were among the recipients Of Panama bri-
