DEATHS DoINGS.
Justice Lamar, Phillips Brooks
and James G. Blaine.
AN APPALLING LIST OF GREAT puBlsc
MEN,


The resent sudden deaths of prominent
1aen musters from the grave the memory
of an army of great men who have died
i'm the harness. Note them as they slowly
file in review before you.
Senator Zach Chandler was found dead
in his bed at the Grand Pacific Hotel.
Secretary Window died while speak
ing at banquet.
Senator Beck dropped insensible IN
the Potomac Depot on the exact spot
where President Garfield was shot, in
Washington.
Secretary Folger worked to the last
and died without warning.
Senator Tom Corwin expired at re-
ception while talking to Salmon +.
Chase, Ben Wade, Senator Schenck and
John Sherman.
The Hon. Hannibal Hamlin died at
the club while chatting with his friends.
Minister Pendleton passed away while
seated in a railway train.
Senator Charles Sumner, Massaciu>
sets pride, died suddenly, working
faithfully to the hour of his death.
| Senator Simon Cameron feels the mvs-
terious creeping of paralysis and falls in
the arms Of his friends.
) Salmon P. Chase passed away peace
fully while seated at his desk with his
pen in his hand.
Vice President Wilson died after emer
ging from the Senate bathroom.
John Quincy Adams dropped in his
chair in the House of Representatives.
And so the list might be prolonged. L
would include such brilliant names o.
Senator Mat Carpenter, Secretary OF The
Treasury Daniel Manning, Ex-Presiden
Arthur, Hon. Thomas H. Benton, Sena
tor Ferry and others.
These men died suddenly and withou
warming, but significant fact in con
nection with their deaths is that tn
cause in each case was the same. 1t ma.
have been called ''heart disease" or zap
poplexy," but what is heart disease O.
appoplexy? Simply result, not cause
Overwork and overindulgence weaker
certain great organs. From weakness
of these organs the blood becomes poi
soned, cloJs the heart and clogs tn
brain, causing death.

Cleveland Wants New Men.

There is CONSERVATION among certain
candidates for places under the new
Administration. Mr.. Cleveland has
given out his policy. He has determined
that new men shall be selected almost
without exception. The announcement
of this policy comes through members of
the new cabinet. From time to time it
has been rumored that Mr.. Cleveland
held views which would stand in the
way of his former office-holders who are
seeking reappointment, but this is the
first authoritative announcement. Mr..
Cleveland takes the position that his
former appointees should have gone to
work after losing their offices four years
ago. The fact that they are turning up
now for raappointment is evidence to
him that they have been waiting four
years to get back, and he does not be-
lieve in encouraging that sort of thing.
In conversing about the wisdom of this
policy, he refers to himself. He sys that
office-holding, turned his attention to
the practice of law, and was making a
very good living. He did not seek a
denomination, and only yielded as mat
ter of duty SO The will of the people. He
says it would have been unseemly for
him to have sought the Presidency
again, and he thinks it is unseemIy for
those who were Assistant Secretaries,
Commissioners, Postmasters, Marshals,
District Attorneys, Ministers, Consuls,
and what not, to appear pressing their
claims to reappointment. This sub
stance of Mr.. Cleveland's conversation is
being repeated TO the friends of candi-
dates who are trying 30 get back their
old places. They are being told with
emphasis that their efforts will be of no
avail.

BOSTON'S BIG FIRE.
Several People Killed-Nearly
100000 Lost.

Boston, March 10.-Fire broke out
about P NJ in the building owned by
F. L. Ames, at the corner of Essex and
Lincoln streets, and involved the entire
block. The fire was under control short>
ly before oclodk. The area burned
over comprises practically one whole
square bounded ON the north by Essex
street, on the east by Lincoln street, on
the south by Tufts street and on the
west by Kingston street.
In addition to this square, one build
ing on the north of Essex street, extend
ing along Columbia street, was burned,
also three buildings on the east side of
Lincoln street; also one on the south
side of Tufts street, the Emergency Hos
pital, which was part of the United
States Hotel, and the rear corner Of the
hotel. The loss will probably reach
So, 900, 900.
Three unidentified bodies have been
taken from the ruins, and there are sup
posed to be many other yet undiscover-
ed. The injured number about thirty.
LATER.-The burned buildings were
full of manufacturing enterprises of all
kinds, boots and shoes, machines, rub
Der gooes, plush goods, leather goods,
glass and veneerings. One of the princi-
pal firms was Horace Partridge & Co.,
fancy goods, and the fire seems to have
originated on the premises of this firm
on the sixth floor of the Ames building.
They employed about thirty clerks.
Every floor of the building had number
of people employed, and among these
were most of the injured. Girls were
knocked down and trampled upon in
the panic.
Three men and one woman were seen
to hang by their hands from the para
pet of the building, but owing to the
network of telegraph, telephone and
electric light wires no help could be got
to them and they all fell six stories to
the frozen ground. One OF the dead
is Leonidas TT. Redpath, amorchant; an>
other is a fireman named Robert J.
Restaux.
Two bodies are not identified, one is a
girl too badly burned to be recognizable.
Most of the casualties were at the Awes
building, where the people were hemmed
in without warning. Later estimates
of the the loss increase the amount to
four and half millions.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 20.-The Cabinet
is now in session upon the subject Of
the silver question In the Senate.
The compromise formulated yesterday
is being discussed, but no prediction car
be hazarded of the outcome.
Secr ret Carlisle is urging the Presi,
dent to stand firm. while many OF tho
so-called repealers are insisting that
there Is but one way out of the dim
Guilty, namely:
BY accepting a proposition which It ie
claimed comedies much to the friends pf
sound money and also provides in the
issue Of bonds h relief that the Treas
ury now sorely needs.

HOPING FOR ACTION.
Senators Have IN Air Of Anticips~
patton for To-Day.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2o.-There was
a p%erceptible increase Of hopeful antici-
patton round the Senate Chamber his
morning that the repeated conferences
might suggest means of breaking the
Senate deadlock and permitting action
OF some kind to be taken oil the pend
Ing Silver bill.
Yesterdays ~twp-hours' Informal con-
sultation between the Senate Steering
Committee and Secretary Carlisle, was
followed, it is said. by a further infor-
NAL consultation out ut Woodley. MI.
Cleveland's country home, between ths
President. the Secretary of the Treas
ury and Secretaries Gresham and La
mont.
When the Senate Committee and Mr..
Carlisle again informally come together,
as it is expected they will do SOM tina
during to-day, 1t is hoped a proposition
may be evolved which will command
sufficient support to secure its passage.
REPEAL-AT WHAT DATE?
Statements originating from divergent
sources agree that the basis of all the
compromise propositions now on foot IL
the repeal OF the silver Purchase clause
at some future day. Jan. l, 1896; July
l. 1895. and July /. 1896 (the last as men,
toned in Senator Quay's proposed
amendment offered in the Senate yester-
day., have all been more or less pub
licly discussed.
The latest suggested date is July I.
lS9+-the beginning of the new fiscal
year, and It is intimated that a measure
to stop silver purchases at that time. II
passed by House and Senate, would noe
meet with an Executive veto.
There are other suggestions going with
1t as to continuing the authority to the
Secretary of the Treasury to issue bonds
when necessary to maintain the gold
reserve, but at a lower rate of interest
than that prescribed in the Specie Re
sumption act: the withdrawal of small
notes from circulation, &C.. &c.
Senator Dubois, of Idaho, one of the
most aggressive of the silver leaders. be-
ing asked how he viewed the situation,
said. as he understood 1t, the plan was
to continue the purchasing clause OF the
Sherman act to Jan. l. 1895.
The Southern Senators, he believed.
ators, though they would not vote for
it. would not flibuster against It, but
would let it go through. and he believed
there would be a clear majority in IA
vor of it.
He thought the silver men, both West
and South. would resist any proposition
TO suspend the purchase on July I
next. on the whole, he said. the silver
men were pretty well pleased with the
situation.
