FREDERICK DOUGLASS DEAD.
Passed Away Suddenly Of Heart Disease. At
His Home. Last Evening.

Washington. Feb. 20.-Frederick Doug
lass dropped dead in the hallway Of his
residence on Anacostia Heights, this
evening at : o'clock. He had been in
the highest spirits and apparently in the
best of health, despite his rs years, when
death overlook him. This morning he
was driven to Washington, accompanied
by his wife She left him at the Con-
grcssional library and he continued to
Metzerott hall, where he attended the
sessions of the Womens Council in the
forenoon and afternoon, returning to
Cedar Hill, the name of his residence,
between and o'clock
After dining. he had a chat in the hall
way with his wife about the doings of the
council. He grew very enthusiastic in his
explanation of one of the events of the
day, when he fell upon his knees with his
hands clasped.
Mrs. Douglass, thinking this part of
his description, was not alarmed, but he
sank lower and lower and finally lay
stretched upon the floor, breathing his
last. Realizing that he was i'll, she raised
his head, and understood that he was
dying. She was alone in the house and
rushed to the front door with cries for
help.
Some men near by quickly responded
and attempted to restore the dying man
One of them called DR.. J. Stewart Harr-
son, and while he was injecting a restora-
tive into the patients arm, Mr.. Douglass
passed away, seemingly without pain.
Mr.. Douglass is survived by two sons
and daughter, the children of his first
wife, living here. Mr. Douglass was to
deliver q lecture tonight at Hillsdalc
African church, near his home, and was
waiting for the carriage when talking to
his wife.
Mrs. Douglass said, tonight, that her
husband had apparently been in the best
of health lately, and showed unusual vigor
for one of his years. No arrangements,
she said, will be made for the funeral I'M
til his children are consulted.

on not less than sheet of paper. Probably
until recently there was no abuse IN THIS
matter, but SO many bills nowadays are
presented in typewriting on thin paper
that they get badly mutilated before they
are passed to be engrosscd 1t struck me
that these original bills should not be filed
away in five or six or eight or 10 pieces,
and l therefore wish to call the atten-
ton of the Senate TO the matter.
The President inquired v he her the
senator had any motion to put, and said
that the point was well taken.
Mr. Shaw: / have no motion ready at
the present time, but shall take some
proper steps tomorrow in the matter.
On motion of Mr.. Maxwell of andre
scogein, the Senate adjourned.

Full and Interesting Particulars
of a Case that Attracted
Wide Attention.
Mrs. kdeIne Munson. Who Resides in NEEDY
bemps. Maine. Declares:

For many years past have been afllict
ed with general debility, sleeplessness, and
numbness in my hands and feet, caused
by poor circulation and impure blood
Was at times affected with headache, dir
illness and severe vomiting as my food
would not digest properly In later years
my nervous system seemed to give out en-
irely, and a general paralytic-like numb
ness came over me. have tried numerous
kinds of sarsaparillas without obtaining
any benefit from them. They not only
proved valueless; but l believe actually
harmed me; my stomach could not retain
them, and l grew steadily worse
About a year ago, l heard of the Red
Seal Sarsaparilla, that was said to be pre-
pared by an entirely new and thoroughly
scientific method, whereby certain poi
sonous principle, very harmful to the diges-
tive organs, and which is brought out in
some process, was entirely eliminated.
l found great relief in the first few doses
of the Red Seal SarSaparilla, and after
taking three bottles l found myself en-
tirely cured, and, although "a years of age,
feel stronger and younger today than ]
have for many years past.
l believe the Red Seal Sarsaparilla to be
the best medicine of its kind and strong
" recommend it to all who wish for
speedy cure. l will checrfully give full
details of my case to all who wish for
further particulars.

Walter Taylor the absconding South Da-
kota treasurer, was under arrest here on
Thursday and yesterday, but late last
evening, according to Chief Of Police
Davis, he was released. The letters on the
prisoners person from Pierre, Chicago
and New York leave no room for doubt,
says Chief Davis, that he is the man
wanted, but as no replies We're received
from the kilograms sent to those cities,
Taylor was turned loose. Chief Davis
was loath to speak Of it, but says Taylor
is under surveillance, and will be rear
rested if wanted The opinion prevails
that Tayloris still in custody and will be
produced when wanted

GiE30Ns ON THE SCIENCES.
CHE Church Ever Foremost in the Search
for knowledge.

che Church Ever Foremost in the Search
for knowledge.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 12.-Cardinal Gibbons
will have the first article in the first NUM-
Der of The Catholic University Bulletin.
The Bulletin will be quarterly, ,conduct7
by the professors in the interest of Il ,
university. The subject which Cardinal
Gibbons treats is "The Church and the
Sciences. 1t is in part as follows;
"Ihe opening Of an American Catholic
university was significant in many re-
spects. 1t was entirely in accord with the
traditions of the church, which, after en-
dowing barbarian Europe with Christian
ity and civilization rounded out this
double progress by establishing centers Of
learning.
''The measures adopted by Pope Leo for
the restoration of thomistic philosophy
and the promotion of scientific pursuits
are due not to impulsive enthusiasm, but
rather to a penetrating far sighted pru-
dence. He realizes fully the actual needs
of Catholicism. We can no longer con
tent ourselves with a knowledge of what
is being done in the various departments
of science; we must contribute share of
the work
LAS Ca lOlics, we know of a certainty
that no real conflict can arise between the
truths of religion and those which science
has solidly demonstrated But this con-
viction must be brought home to those
who are outside the church, and who judge
her rather by what her members do than
by what they write or say in favor OF
science
In order that the honor of the church
may be completely yindicated, it is neces-
sary above all to do away with the mis-
taken idea that Catholics are not free to
pursue scientific research. The church,
far from neglecting scientific advance,
sets a higher value upon it than do those
who are swept to and fro by every new
current of opinion"
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1895-01-12

81 was about as bad a used up man IS

Greene's wonderful medicine, | am
greatly improved.
Now all my bloat is gone, and l am as
well of that as ever My rheumatism is
prac ically gone, and my stomach is

is widely known.
"I can recommend DR. Greene's Nervura

icine ] ever saw or heard of, and / will
cheertully answer any inquiries about

Mr.. H. r. Kimball, druggist, OF Hard

state nent is true"
1t cures quickly and permanently, rheu-
matism, neuralgia, kidney and liver dis
ease, and makes good blood and strong
nerves Everybody, both physicians and
the people everywhere acknowledge DR.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy
to be the greatest known cure for disease.
People who take it get we'll.
Why waste time in trying uncertain
and untried remedies, when here is a ply
sician's prescription, discovery made by
he greatest living specialist in curing
nervous and chronic diseases, Dr. Greene,
of 80 West 14th ST., New York City. If
you take this medicine you can consider
yourself under DR.. Greene's direct pro-
fessional care, aud you can consult him
or write to him about your case, fres ly
and without charge. This is guarantee
that this remedy will cure, possessed by
no other medicine in the world

With rheumatism, come weak kidneys,
weak nerves, poor blood. Weak kidneys
mean death, because they lead to serious
kidney diseases, which always kill. The
symptoms are weak back, pain in the
back, bloating, muddy water, tired and
languid feeling, gas in the stomach, loss
of appetite, coated tongue, bad taste in
the mouth, headache, dimness of vision,
dryness of skin and nerv usness.
just so surely as you have these symp
toms, your kidneys are out of order, and
you need the one sure cure, DIR. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Try
bottle and see how quickly those symp-
toms will vanish. 1t cures rheumatism,
a most dangerous complaint for it leads
to fatal heart disease. Mr.. Nathan G.
Batchelder, of Hardwick, VT, writes
IA year ago ! was badly hloateu, and it
was said | was going to die with the
dropsy. l commenced taking DIR. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. At
that time was sight to behold My
usual weight was 1876 lbs, but / then
weighed 1856 lbs. from bloating. 1 also
had rheumatism so that | could not get
into a sleigh or wagon, and was bent over
badly. My stomach was so bad that |
could not digest my food. and it panied
me good deal. 1t had been in this con-
dition for seven years before | began to
take DR.. Greene's medicine, but since
taking it can eat as hearty meal as any

TAYLOR NOT ALONE TO BLAME.

IAhLOLl MA ALC-NE ~ hlIAhh'
1t Was Known at the state House That
Taylors Accounts Were Mixed.
SIOUX CITY, Ia, Jan. Re ;. Miller,
United States district attorney for the dis
trict of Sou Dakota, in an interview con
cerning eX- State Treasurer Taylor's short
age said:
Il have learned that Taylor has very
little if any of the money taken from the
state by him. He was interested largely
in banking, and had friends who were in
speculative enterprises and he loaned to
them with the expectation that when the
time came to repay it they would be able
to make the loans good to him, This they
were unable to do and the money has
gone where it will never be recovered and
where it win never do Taylor any good. If
the matter is sifted to the bottom, and l
am of the opinion that it will be- there
will be some surprises in South Dakota.
"TaylOr is not the only man to blame in
the affair, either 1t was known in state
house circles as long as a year or two ago
that his accounts were not what they
should be, and there was a determined eff
fort made first to renOminate him and
then to secure the nomination of a man
friendly to him in order to cover his
tracks This failed, and of course the
shortage came out. The state officers who
accepted the bond furnished by Taylor
are also to blame. 1t is fact that but
little can be realized on it. Men were per-
mitted to qualify on the bond for thou
sands of dollars who were not worth a
cent over and above their debts. l can
name a dozen men on the bond from
whom a cent cannot be recovered. There
are some on the bond who are good and
who will have to settle but it will ruin
them tO do IL 30

WASHINGTON, Jan. l2-Senator Mo
Pherson, of New Jersey, proposed "a bill in
the senate yesterday which represents the
eastern view on the currency question. 1t
provides for the issue of per cent. bonds
for the purpose of carrying into effect the
resumption act of 1873, the bonds TO be
payable at the pleasure of the government
after five years. Another section provides
for the coinage of the silver seigniorage to
the amount of S55, ,0OO,O 600 to be paid for
public expenses as needed, but nothing in
the bill shall change the law relating to
treasury notes now outstanding
