HAS PASSED AWAY
Death of The Great English Com.
mOner.

Hawarden, May 19.-Mr. Gladstone
died a 5 O'Clock this morning. He
had been unconscious practically all
day, though at times he seemed to
recognize for a moment some of the
watchers about him. Certainly he
did recognize his wife, who was
beside him all day, except when the
physician prevailed upon her to
rest. She tenderly clasped her hus-
bands hand as she watched him.
Apparently he slept a good deal; oc-
easionally he uttered few words in
an incoherent, dreamy way, words
which those who were watching him
were unable to catch. Their only
consolation was that he was not
suffering pain. No narcotics were
administeEed.
Though a national funeral will
probably be accepted by the family,
there is little doubt that the remains
of Mr.. Gladstone will be laid to rest
in the peaceful graveyard Hawar-
den, adjoining the church where he
was married more than 4 century
ago. At Hawarden the happiest
portion of his life was passed, and it
is truly a retreat sweet enough for
any laborer.

Ewart Gladstone, NJ. p, 2. c., was

And at that instant the surface OF the

At this point the speaker turned as it

He quickly picked up another, instru-

There was now no sound except the low
groans Of women in the audience and
the subdued curses of maddened men.
The silence was profound. Then the
mirror began to glow, and the image OF

Two months ago the Office cat at the
M. and c. railroad Office disappeared
and it was generally believed that she
had been killed. To the surprise of
those around the railroad office, the cat
came back the other morning from
long journey. The animal had got into
a car OF merchandise billed to St. Louis
and had been locked up in it. When
the car was opened at the latter place
the cat jumped out. The animal was
placed in the Office there, but the St.
Louis railroad men soon tired of her
and decided to send the cat back to this
city. She was placed in through car
with note telling the circumstances.
She reached here early this morning.
The cat seemed glad to be at home
again. She had travelled over 500 miles
altogether and was nearly starved
