better health and spirits when he retired
than he had been for several days.
This mornig 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
abdominal 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
answered the bell, and told him his ex-

after they were uttered he was dead.
The only sign noticed by Mrs, Ingersoll
was that the whites of his eyes sud

sign or groan as death came. Doctors
were hastily called, but their verdict was
that death had come instantly.

Robert Green Ingersoll was brought up
as a Congregationalist, his father being
a clergyman of that denomination. His
boyhood was spent in Wisconsin and
Illinois. He was born Aug. II, 1888, and
was &C years old at his death. After
studying law, Ingersoll opened an office
at Shawneetown, H., with his brother,
Eben, who afterwards went to congress.
Ingersoll moved to Peoria in 1857 and in
1860 ran for congress on the Democratic
ticket, but was defeated. He entered the
army in 1862 as a colonel in the Eleventh
Illinois cavalry, and joined the Repub-
lican party. In 1866 he was attorney gen
eral of Illinois In 1877 he refused the
post of minister to Germany. Col. Inger-
soil is best known by his hostility to
Christianity as it is at present taught
His books, Ghosts, 1.-The Gods" Some
Mistakes of Moses etc, etc, have been
quite popular. There has been a story
that Ingersoll was driven to this posi-
tion7by the strictness of his father during
his youth. Yet his father was a man Of
such broad" views as frequently to
cause dissension between himself and his
parishes.
IngersolPs services to the Rer ublican
party as an orator have been great and
varied. He had wonderful faculty Of
words and a mighty presence IN a crowd
Few who ever heard him in his prime
will ever forget the charm of his ora
tory, but he was always an extremist.
The home life of the Ingersoll family
was model held up to all who knew
them. The unwritten law of the home
was tranquility and perfect confidence in
each other. There was no master-no
server. All were equal and each shared
alike in its comforts and luxuries. De-
spite his peculiar belief, or, rather, dfsbe-
lief, Robert G. Ingerson preached and
practiced a religion of his own, in his
home, that had for its basis peace and
happiness in the greatest possible meas
ure.

NEW NAVAL POWERS.
America and Japan Fully Rccog-
nized by Great Britain.

LONDON, July A-In the house of
commons, today, discussing the ship
building vote, the Rt Hon. George J.
Goschen, first lord of the admiralty. said
that there had been no change in the
policy of foreign governments so there
was nothing to induce the present gov
ernment to change theirs, which was to
maintain equality with the fleets of Rus
sia and France. in whose programmes,
however, he saw no menace to England.
Alluding to the use of electricity in the
navy, Mr.. Goschen said:
Both the United States and Japan are
now naval powers sufficiently important
to make US think we ought to have a
naval attache in those countries. AS at
tache to the embassy at Washington we
are going to appoint an officer especially
competent to deal with electrical mat
tiers.

a luncheon. 1t is a fact, however, that
both before and following the luncheon
there were meetings where questions
seriously affecting the future relations of
the Democratic party and the silver ques-
ton were under discussion. 1t is said
plan to organize the silver forces of the
country into a distinct party formed the
principal theme of the discussion. 1t was
not suggested as an immediate necessity
but as a contingency which future events
might make not only eXpedient, but
necessary.
