son. of West Virginia, resumed his seat
yesterday, after introducing the bill for the
repeal Of the Sherman law, his appearance
showed that he realized the tremendous i'm
portance of it. IL was the opening gun in
a fight that is destined 10 be prominently
historic aud Of vast effect upon the country,
whatever It's outcome. He was very pale
and his hands trembled so visibly that after
vaiuly trying to still them he clasped them
light and held them between his knees. he
is rather an impressiOnable man Al best, and
the occasion was something too much for
his nerves

We have lust received the shocking in
telligence of the death of Dr. S. ]. Holli-
day. He died this Tuesday morning be-
tween eight and nine o'clock. He had Civ
en- orders 10 his servant to hook up his team
but almost Immediately countermanded it,
saving that the rheumatism about his chest
and shoulders was so severe that he could
not drive. Soon afterwards one of his SER
wants. hearing him groan, went up hastily
into his room and found him dead. None
of his kin were in the house as his sister
Mrs. Mason, lives in Charles Town, w. Va,
and Governor Holiday is on trip to the
Adirondaeks. There was no premonition
noticeable and death came like thief in
the night. DR.. Holiday was never mar
ried and all that wealth of affection which
abounded in his noble heart was poured out
lavishly upon his patients and friends. He
belonged to the community and the COM
munity mourns the loss Of valuable pos
session. They mourn the loss of skill and
knowledge lovingly directed towards the al
deviation of pain and the healing of dis
eases. He was the better physician because
he was a true friend and better friend be-
cause he was wise physician.
To-day as the news is spreading about,
the circle of sadness growing wider and
wider every hour, many are recalling the
many acts of his strong brain and his intel
ligeut devotion. They are recalling to
themselves and telling others how he brought
this one from deaths door, and smoothed
the path of that one through the dark val
vey of the shadow.
The writer has known him from early
childhood and enjoyed with him to the full
friendship which was both personal and
hereditary.
A more generous man was never fashion,
ed and a cleaner life was never lived than
by him who has been so suddenly called TO
his account.
When this account is ordered by the great
Judge he can testify to inuumerable acts of
charity; to a long and unselfsh devotion
to the csnse of humanity, to an earnest
faith in all the sanctions of the Christian
religion.
No sufferer was ever turned away unat-
tended from his door no friend ever came
10 him in vain. He was brave, frank and
sincere, but with all a. gentle and tender as
a woman when in the exercise of his heal
ing art, or in the sweet communion of
friendship,
With a sad heart We offer this tribute TO
the brave soul for whom no Cfice of love or
friendship can now avail. but hoping that
his senuent spirit may be conscious of the
gr eff Of many whom he has benefited so
that he can feel he has not lived in vain
