In the Midst of Corruption He Passed
Unscathed.
Paris, Feb. I'm. Felix Faure,
: president of the republic of France,
died of apoplexy at 10 o'clock last
night, after an illness of four hours.
1t had been known for some time that
his heart was weak, hut the first in
timation that he was sick was given at
$3.50 last evening, when message was
dispatched to the premier, M. Dupuy,
announcing that the president was i'll.
M. Dupuy Immediately repaired to the
Elysee.
All medical efforts proved futile, and
the president died on the stroke of 10.
The flag over the Elysee was immedi-
ately lowered to half mast and the
news was dispatched to all the officials
and the members of the cabinet Gem
eral Zurlinden, military governor of
Paris, the grand chancellor of the ,Ie-
giOn of Honor, the prefect of the Siene,
the prefect of the police of Paris and
the presidents of the senate and cham

soon ended. General BaiIloud had
gone but few minutes when tie
president called NJ. lie Gall.
M. Faure's body has not been re-
moved from the study where he sign
cd so many DEGREES and laws. Thus 1t
may be said he literally died in the
harness. In the little room known to
all who ever had an audience with
him, furnished and decorated in the
style of Louis XVI, he now sleeps his
last sleep on brass beadstead, in the
circular end of the room, facing the
window. His countenance Is as serene
as if in slumber. On each side Of the
bed sits nun. Mesdames lie Gall and
Blondel and the officers OF the military
household are in attendance.
Very painful it was to witness the
distress of Nine. Faure and the chill
dren. Only with the greatest difficulty
could she be induced to leave the
death chamber, and even then she in
sisted on remaining in M. LIE Calls

to give free vent to her grief. Nine.

TIE DEAD PRESIDENT.


In tho Midst of General Corruption
He Passed Unscathed.
Francis Felix Faure, sixth president
of the third republic of France, was
born Jan. 20, 1841, in Paris, and was the
son of cabinet maker.
He was educated at a private COM
snercial school, and was then sent to
England for two years to learn the lam
Guage and to become acquainted with
English methods of business. On his
return to France he went to Amboise
and mastered the business of cur
rier. When quite young he married
the daughter of Mr.. Belluot. an attor-
ney at Amboise. Almost Immediately
aftcrward he settled at Hayre, and he
soon became leading ship owner.
The better to fit himself for the dis
charge of his public duties he prac-
ticed public speaking by lecturing on
history to an evening class of adults.
He became president of the Havre
Chamber of Commerce, and during the
Franco-Prussian war held the office
of deputy mayor of the city. AT the
head of volunteer firemen. organized
by himself, he eXtinguished the con-
fagrations started at Havre by the
communards. In doing this he was
slightly wounded by shell. During
the war Gambetta sent him to England
to buy arms.
In August, 1881, he offered himself as
q Republican candidate for parliament
in the Third district of Havre, and was
elected. He was appointed under sec
retary of state for the colonies in the
Gambetta administration, formed in
November of that year and held the
same office in the ministries of NJ Jules
Ferry GSS3). NJ. Brisson lSS5) and NJ.
Tierard QSS7). In 1891 he became min
lister of marine in NJ. Dupuy's cabinet
and was appointed vice president of
the chamber of deputies, a position to
which he was several times elected
On the retirement of NJ. Casimir-
Perer, who resigned the presidency on
Jan. 1G. 1895. he was chosen president
by 4.O votes as against 361 given to
Henri Brisson.
In 1897 NJ. Faure went to ST. Peters,
burg to return the visit of Emperor
Nicholas, and while there the definite
announcement of the treaty of alliance
between France and Russia was made.
He filled many important public Of
fees. but in the midst of almost gen.
eral corruption he passed unscathed.

THE LATE PRESIDENT FAURE.
About o'clock M. Faure, who was
thea in his study, went to the door of
the room of M. lie Gall, his private
secretary, which is contiguous to the
study, and said: 81 do not feel well.
Come to me-
N. LIE Gall Immediately went to the
presidents aid, led him to sofa and
called General Bailloud general secre-
tary. of the presidents household, M.
Biondell, under private secretary, and
DR.. Humbert, who happened to be at
the Elysee. attending relative.
The presidents condition did not
appear dangerous. but Dr. Humbert, on
perceiving that he was rapidly getting
worse, telephoned for DR.. Lann-Longue
and Dr. Cheurlet. who arrived with M.
Dupuy, and were Joined later by DR..
Bergerey.
Though M. Faure still retained con-
seriousness. the doctors soon recognized
that the case was hopeless, but it was
not until nearly 8 o'clock that the
members of the family were informed
of the real state of affairs. They then
came to the sofa. where the president
lay upon hastily improvised bed.
Soon after he began to lose conscious
ness, and despite all efforts expired at
10 o'clock. in the presence of his fam
fly and NJ. Dupuy.
! M. Dupuy communicated the sad in
teiiigence to M. Loubet, president of
the senate, NJ. Paul Descnanel prcsi-
dent of the chamber of deputies, the
members of the cabinet and the other
high functionaries, after which he ad-
dressed the following dispatch to all
projects and sub-prefects in France:
81 have the sad task to announce to
you the death of the president. which
occurred at 10 o'clock this evening, as
the result of an apopletic stroke. Kind
ly take the necessary measures to in
form the population Immediately of
the mourning that has fallen upon the
republic. The government counts up.
on your active vigilance at this painful
! junct,fre."
1t was not until II o'clock that the
news began to become known to the
general public in Paris. From that
time began continuous arrival of
public men. Strict orders, however,
were issiied and only members of the
cabinet were admitted to the Elysee.
Z At yesterdays cabinet council M.
Faure presided with his usual ability,
and on their taking leave the ministers
could not have imagined that they
were pressing his hand for the last
time. He took his lunch as usual at
noon, returned to his study at 2, and
spent the afternoon seated in IA
vorite arm chair by the fire, Converslng
with M. lie Gall, who about s o'clock
asked permission to depart. At
O'clock M. lie Gall returned, immedi-
ately reporting himself to the presi-
dent, who was then signing DEGREES
presented by General Bailloud, &C.

Dead Presidents Vanity.

Dead Presidents Vanity.
Paris, Feb. 17.-Mrs. Emily Craw-
ford telegraphs the American press as
follows: president Faure died sud-
denly of apopexy," says the bulletin,
but it was really of worry, ap-
prehension and their effect upon
his health; of the intoXication of ex-
alted situation; of imperial and roya!
friends. His doctors had long noted
symptoms of general paralysis. He
meant well, but he did great harm to
the republic, because of a common
place mentality and that sort of vanity
which Moliere ridiculed in lie Bour-
geols Gentilhomme." Louis XIV him-
self, though standing on a right divine
pedestal, did not attach nearly SO
much importance to courtly etiquette.
M. Faure had no insight into the
great problems of human life, and saw
only externals. He revived, so far as
possible, the cercmonals of Napoleon's
court. Not even deputy or senator
could speak to him without being first
spoken to. Whenever French diplo-
mat, who had freshly arrived in Paris,
came to pay his respects NJ. Faure's
first question was: What are they
doing at other courts?"
