lNGERSOLL DEAD.
The World Famous Agnostic SuccumbS
TO an Attack of Appoplexy.

NEW YORK, July 21.-Colonel Robert G..
Ingersol died at his home, Walston-On-
Hudson, near Dobbs Ferry, to-day His
death was sudden and unexpected and re-
suited from heart disease, from which he
suffered since.1S96 In that year during the
Republican National Convention he was
taken i'll and had to return home He
never fully recovered from the attack OF
heart disease AMI was unler the care of
physicians constantly.
For the last three days Mr. Ingerso,l has
not been feeling well. Last night he was
in better health AMI spent portion of the
evening playing billiards with Walston H.
Brown, his son-in-law, and c p. Farrell.
his brother-in-law and private secretary.
He seemed to be in better health and
spirits when he retired than he had been
for several days.
This morning he rose at the usual hour
and Joined the family at breakfast. He
then said he had spent a bad night. but
felt better. He had been suffering from alb
dominai pains and tightness about the
chest. He did not think his condition at
all dangerous. After breakfast he tele-
phoned to DR.. Smith, his physician, who is
at Belle Haven, and told him of his ex-
perience during the night. DR.. Smith told
him he should continue the use of nitro
glycerine and that he would see him dur
ing the day.
Col. Ingersoll spent the morning swing
ing in a hammock and sitting on the veran-
ca with members of the family. He said
he was better and had no pain. At 1890
he started to so up stairs. On reaching
the head OF the stairs Col. Ingersoll turned
into his wife's room. Mrs. Ingersoll was
there. Together they discussed what they
would have for luncheon and Col. Inger-
soil said he had better not eat much. ow-
ing to the trouble with his stomach. He
seemed in good spirits then. After talking
for a few minutes Col. Ingersoll crossed
the room and sat down in a rocking chair.
He leaned his head on his hand, which
rested on the back on the chair Mrs. In
gersoll asked him how he was feeling and
he replied "Oh, better"
These We're his last words. A second af-
ter they were uttered he was dead. The
only0 sign noticed by Mrs. Ingersoll was
that the whites of his eyes suddenly show
ed. There was not even sign or a groan
as death came. Doctors We're hastily
called, but their verdict was that death
came instantly.
No arrangements have yet been made for
the funeral. but it will probably take place
on Monday at the house, and the interment
will be in Sleepy Hollow cemetery at Tar
rytown. Those present in the house at the
time of his death were his daughter, Miss
Maud Ingersall: his daughter. Mrs, W II.
Brown, Mr.. Brown, Mrs. d. w. Parker,
mother of Mrs. Ingersoll, and Mrs. c. f.
Farrell and daughter. Mrs. Ingersoll was
the only person in the room when he died.
Death came to him as he had recently
expressed desire it should. He often in
old times wished to die slowly with a full
consciousness so that he might tell those
about him how it felt. Recently he exper-
fenced a change of desire to die painlessly
and without warning.

The success with which the Kings
Daughters have met in the conduct of
the Day Nursery, has prompted them to
take active steps toward carrying out
the plans they have long had in contem-
plation, for the erection of permanent
home for the worthy institution. The
Kings Daughters have been at work
raising funds, quietly and publicly, and
have already secured the neucleus OF the
sum which will be necessary for the
building. One of their projects was the
Easter Herald, which was not only a
very creditable publication, but finan-
cial success as WELL The proceeds from
the booths at the Elks' Street Carnival,
augmented the fund. 1t now reaches
about. 81, 300. The number. of cases at
the Nursery now amounts to about 200
q month, and the institution is warmly
approved by the mothers who profit by
it. On account of the fact that most OF
the cases come from the South Side,
and real estate is cheap in that section
of the city, the new building will be
located below the creek, when it is
erected.
