CHARLES A. DANA DEAD.
Passing of Prominent Figure In
journalism.

Charles A. Dana editor of the New
York Sun, died at his home, in Glencove.
Long Island, at 20 o'clock Sunday after
noon.
Mr.. Dana's death had been expected for
several hours, and his family and physi-
clans were at his bedside when the end
came. His condition had been such for
several months that the members Of his
family had kept themselves in constant
readiness to go to his bedside at any mo-
ment. on Saturday morning he had
relapse, and it was apparent that re-
coyery was impossible. Several times,
however, he rallied, but toward night ne
began to sink. During the night there
were feeble rallies, but they did not last
long.
Sunday morning IL was seen that the end
was but a few hours off, and his attend
ants remained almost constantly at MS
side. The end came quietly.
WEAKENED BY LONG ILLNESS.
The extreme heat of Friday and Satur-
day had much TO do with fastening the
end. On Friday he showed signs OF dis
tress, and everything possible was done
10 relieve him. He had been weakened
by his long Illness, and during the sum-
MGR was several times thought TO be on
the verge of a fatal collapse, but each
time he rallied. He did not improve much
with the coming cooler weather, and the
sinking spells became more frequent.
On Friday Mr.. Dana was able 10 take
only the lIghtest nourishment, and this
condition continued. Paul Dana and his
sisters. Mrs. Draper, Mrs. Underhili. and
Mrs. Branan, were at his home on Satur-
day morning. and were warned to remain
thara They were at the bedside when
death came.
The cause of Mr.. Danas death was
cirrhosis OF the liver. on June sth ne was
at his office. apparently strong and
healthy. The next day he was taken ILL.,.
and he never afterward visited New
York. He was IS years old.

When We DemOralize

When We DemOralize the stomach
By excess or imprudence in eating, we
cannot hope to escape the consequences
for any great length of time. The most
robust digestion must succumb to abuses
of that important function. But sup
posing that we have been foolish enough
to enfeeble the stomach, is the damage
irreparablef By no means. The dys-
peptic has only to do two things to in
sure his ultimate recovery. First, he
should adopt an easily digestible diet.
Second, he should use with regularity and
persistence, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
the leading gastric invigorant of the age.
The multlform symptoms of dyspepsia,
and the almost invariable attendant dis
orders, biliousness and constipation, will
assuredly cease to prosecute the sufferer
if the above advice is attended to. Who
that has suffered the torments that chronic
indigestion inflicts will neglect to take
advantage of remedy which, if the most
positive evidence Of the medical profess
sion and the public is to be received with
due credence, is an absolute specific for
the complaint.
