THE DEATH SCENE.
Dissolution came at l15 this Morning
A Brave Mans Death.

Washington. May 2s.-secretary
Gresham died at 1.l5 this morning at
his room At the Arlington hotel. All
hope of his recovery was practically
abandoned when sinking spell DC
cured shortly before o'clock last
evening. The most powerful heart
stimulants known to medical science,
nitroglyccrina and disltalia, We're in
jected periodically AMI an infusion OF
normal saline solution was made
through an opened vein In the arm.
He recovered slightly, but owing to
severe rigors shortly before II o'clock
he began TO fail rapidly and his vitali-
ty began to ebb. The three physicians
saw that the end was near and at IL
o'clock withdrew to the ante room,
leaving In the sick chamber only the
members of the family. Mrs Gresham,
her daughter, Mrs. Andrews, and SON
in-law. Mr.. Andrews, and the nurses.
Up to that time he had been CON
sclous and talked at intervals. His
words We're full of bravery. He fully
appreciated his condition, and spoke
words of hope and cheer to his stricken
wife and daughter. Sometimes his
mind wandered slightly and went back
TO the days OF long ago, recalling Incl
dents of love AMI happiness in the
spring time of his life. He spoke. too,
tary, Mr.. Lands, whom he loved as a
son, and who, like his son, was speed
ing to his bedside. all too late. Just
before the physicians retired he ceased
speaking, though he appeared 10 be
conscious. Mrs. Gresham sat at the
bedside, smoothing his fevercd brow,
and occasionally reading TO him from
the Bible passages which he loved. As
the end approached his pulse became
hardly perceptible. Gradually his eyes
glazed and closed. But Mrs Gresham,
with noble and heroic fortitude. con-
tinued TO read words of the gospel to
her departing husband. Her daughter
and son-in-law stood with bowed heads
by the side OF the couch.
At l:15 his breathing ceased, peace
full shadow passed over his pale coun-
tenance, his pulse nickered, and the
sorrowing family We're In the presence
of death. One OF the nurses conveyed
the news that the end had come to
the physicians in the next room and
they In turn broke 1t TO the watchers
in the reception room. Those present
in the reception room We're Secretary
and Mrs. Lamont, Secretary Herbert.
Assistant Secretary OF State Uhl and
Assistant Secretary OF State McAdoo,
and First Postmaster General Jones,
Assistant OF the Treasurer Hamlin,
Attorney General Olney. Colonel Corbin
of the army and Private Secretary
Thurber.
In the hotel lobby outside were half a
hundred OF the secretary's friends.
No arrangements VIII be made for
the funeral until after the arrival OF
his son today.

tbs to interfere. The secretary was
very hard worker. He was thorough
In all things and insisted upon reading
up every aspect OF a case whlch chilu
before him. This involved long hours
spent in study OF musty manuscripts
and authorities in the late hours OF
the night at his rooms, coming upon a
day full of embarrassing Incidents ana
Diplomatic fencing with the ableHt
diplomatic corps, and II IL now clear
that Secretary Gresham was brought
to his last illness by the great eNer-
lions he was obliged to put forth to
discharge his official duties to his own
satisfaction.
Judge Gresham heard and decided
many noteworthy cases. many OF his
decisions illustrating In remarkable
degree his fearlessness, impartiallty
and judicial fairness. His greatest de-
clslon was In the wabash case, when
he went beneath the technloalities and
nut all the lines of the system under n
receiver. thus giving Jay Gould d.
rect blow. His pradominpting TRAIT
was honesty OF purpose. and he always
brushed aside the technicalitles and
considered the equity OF every case
Gresham was a man OF action more
than of study, and yet he found time
for wide reading. He possessed n
thorough and minute knowledge OF the
history of the government ana tho
country, of the various measures OF
the various administrations, and the
great debates, and the men who shaped
and Influenced legislation In their day.
many of whom are now forgotten. He
understood the relation OF this country
to foreign nations thoroughly. and as
secretary of state sought TO apply the
principles OF justice to international
controversies as he would from the

ably so-six feet tail, his black beard
and hair turned TO an iron gray. HIS

but soft and amlable in familiar con-
versntion.
HIS voice was pleasant and consortHd
well with hts habltual demeanor, which
was quiet and modest As n man he
was kind. generous and frank. He
was social and approaehable. II was
in his home life that he was most TO
be admired. In 1858 he married. Miss
Matilda McGrain, the daughter OF
Thomas McGraln, a man OF Scotch
Irish descent. A son and daughter
were born to them, who live In Chicago.
He was devoted TO his wife and chill
dren. This side OF his life the public
know nothing OF. but It furnished the
best key to his nature and character.
In the glare Of the public footlights
the glitter passes for gold. In the soft
glow of the Preside 1t Is that the heart
Is revealed.

the way from Chicago. Secretary La

seager, kept his wires busy trying to
locate him with the purpose OF hasten

about o'clock that Otto Gresham was

reach .Nltoona. Pa, at midnight The
pennsylvania officials declared that It
would be impossible to expedite his
passage TO Harrisburg, but special
tram was arranged from there to bring

VIII reach here about S a. M, two hours
ahead OF the regular train. Meanwhile
the anxious watchers at the bedside
ABOUT $3.50 saw the giant form OF the
secretary convulsed by severe chill.
He sank rapidly but the chill passed
away and he recovered slightly and
then dozed for a few minutes. The
physicians continued TO give hypoder-
mic injections of nitro glycerine. At
1920 o'clock he suffered another rigor.
At ll:S0 Secretary Herbert came to
the hotel. He had arrived in Washing
ton about half past eight o'clock. and
had gone to a dinner party. Here he
first learned OF Secretary Gresham's
serious illness, and FASTENED at once
to join the little party OF watchers
who sat in the ante room, scanning the
clock as 1t licked away the minutes OF
Secretary Gresham's life. At this time,
the three doctors, despalring OF all fur
ther effort, had retired from the bed
chamber. and sat in the next room
ready to render such service as they
might n soothing the way to the end
when summoned. BY midnight the
signs Of dissolution were crowdlng thick
and fast. The members of the secre-
tary's family who had been excluded
carrier in the evening from u fear that
their presence might arouse the appre-
hension Of the dying man, I'D been ad-
mitted, for It was plain that he clearly
realized his condition and desired to
spend his last moments with his loved
ones. He had been conscious and even
conversed calmly with those about him
but as midnight drew near the waning
| forces of life were no longer equal tc
the effort and he sank into silence.
Although almost pulseless and with.
out sign of life, otherwise, his eyes
still showed the CLEAN OF intelligence
and appreciation OF what was goinI
on about him, and the watchers walt.
ed in silent agony OF spirit for the dead
small hours OF the night, when the tide
goes out and the life OF stricken mortals
goes with 1t.

SUSIE" is DEAD.
The Pet and Pride of the Gazette Died
Yesterday.


In 1881, when the Gazette was first
published on Second street, there came
to the editorial rooms a mlld-mnn-
nercd, tender-cyed dog OF youtaful APP
pearance, who fell In love with every
cmployo or the paper. and 10 whom"
every man ON the force became much
attached

name Of Susie" and from that good
hour TIL yesterday she was as much
fixture about the Office as was the
editor. When the Gazette moved, su-
miVed. When the paper came Into
It's present quarters, Susie followed,
coming with the editors arm chair,
The dog was the especial friend OF
every ono who ever had any connec-
tlon with the paper, and II an outsider

TO abuse Susie. OF late years Susie has
been moro closely connected with the
composing room, Every printer TINT

ten years remembered Susie n he for

aught for anything or anybody not
part and parcel OF the paper that aghs

Gle.
Susie was nfreotionate and even
