took place this afternoon at Amalf, the

upon which stood the Cappuccini hotel,
slid bodily into the sea, with deafening
roar and without a moments warning,
carrying with it the hotel, the old Ca

Amalh is a small but lively town of

Mortified and Mount Norman and Of the
Chicago Bible institute?"
AS the MONDAY hour drew near the
watchers at the bedside noticed the ap-
proach of death Several times his lips
moved as If in prayer. but the articula-
ton was so faint that the words could
not be heard. just as death came Mr..
Moody awoke Gs if from slumber and
said with much joyousness:
"I see earth receding; heaven is open
ing; God is calling me-" and a moment
later he expired.
DEATH NOT UNEXPECTED.
The death of Mr.. Moody was not un-
expected, although his temporary recoy-
cry from illness was hoped for by his
relatives and friends. The cause OF
death was general breaking down of his
health, due to overwork. His constitu-
ton was that of an exceedingly strong
man, but his untiring labors had Sradu-
ally undermined his vitality until that
most delicate of organs, the heart, show
ed signs of weakness. His exertions In
the West last month brought on the cri-
sis and the collapse came during the se-
ries Of meetings at Kansas City. An
early die gnosis by eminent physicians
made it evident that Mr.. MOOdy's con-
dition was serious and, canceling his en-
gagements, he returned to his home IN
East Nrrthfeld. On reaching his home
the family physician, DR.. n. P. Wood,
took charge of Mr.. Moody, and for some
days bulletins as to the patients condi-
ton were issued, all having an encourag-
ing tone, seemingly, but unerrfngly point
ing to the fact that the evangelist's work
on earth was about finished. Last week
a. change for the worse prepared imme-
diate friends for what was to come.
This week, however, the patient improy-
ed steadily until yesterday, when he lp-
peared very nervous. This symptom was
accompanied by weakness. which much
depressed the family, who were anxious
ly watching the sufferer. Last evening
Mr. Moody appeared to realize that he
! could not recover. and he so informed his
| family During the night the patient
had spells of extreme weakness, and at
o'clock this morning DR.. Wood was
called. at the request of Mr. Moody, in
order that his symptoms might be noted
A hypodermie injection of stryehna caus-
ed the heart to beat stronger.
END AT HAND.
At 7:3O this morning DR.. Wood was call
ed again, and when he arrived he found
the patient in semi-conscious condi-
tion. Then it was that the family were
called to the bedside, where they remain
ed until the end came.
The arrangements for the funeral have
not as yet been frlly completed, but tho
services will be held next Monday after

of the failure OF Woodbury. & Moulton

TRIAL OF MOLINEUX.
Session of the Court Was Brief and
UneVentfuI.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22-The session of
the Molineux trial today was brief, the
case going over until Tuesday next, aft
er about three hours had been spent In
an examination of Henry i, Tolman a
handwriting expert of Chicago and
Charles E. Warren, chief clerk of the
Lincoln National bank, who was called
to the stand to identify the handwriting
of Harry S. Cornish.
Mr. Tolman who at one time was pro-
fessor of medical Jurisprudence in the
University of Vermont, went extensively
into the technicalfties of the handwriting
shown in the various exhibits and de-
clared he had never before seen such
an excellent collection of specimens for
portraying the most striking cnaracterrs-
tics of the writer OF some of the writ
ings handed to him for expert analysis
he said they showed unusual nervous
ness on the part Of the writer, strong
muscular force and weak mentality. His
testimony agreed with that given by Ex-
perts Kinsley and Tyrreu regarding
many of the strongest haracteristics eX-
hibited in writings, such as the break
between the 81 and the succeeding oval
letter.

Prohibited by the Censor.


MANILA, Dec. 22.-The newspaper De
mocracia, the organ OF coterie of Fill
pines, including the supreme court judges,
faVoring American control In the Philip
pines, tonight announces that 1t has been
decided to suspend publication.
The paper was started at the sugges
ton ana under the patronage of the
Philippine advisory commission headed
by Pref J. G. Schurman.
The DemOcracia prints a single page, in
big type. In :he statement accompany
ing the announcement of its suspension,
the editor says he has been directed by
the provost marshal to retract certain
criticism of the clerical methods adopted
in regard to the management of schools,
and adds:
Recognizing the authority Of the pro-
vost marshal, we have no recourse except
to comply and have decided to suspend
publication until the present extraordi-
nary conditions regarding press matters
disappear. When we know what laws
rule us by what mode we are judged,
and TO whose jurisdiction press matters
are amenable, the Democracia will reap
pear"
The paper has generally been q warm
supporter of the administration. The
provost marshal recently threatened to
suppress 1t for publishing an editorial
asserting that Manila streets were in a
worse condition under the American than
they had been under Spanish adnlnistra-
ton.
The Manila Times was also recently
warned, with an intimation of imprison-
ment and confscation, for printing an
editorial recommending the creation of a
board of charity commissioners to con-
troll the charitable institutions, on ac-
count Of rumors of inismanagement of
charitable funds by the church authori-
ties.
The newspapers complain bitterly that
the authorities exercise paternal super
vision, threatening suppression, they
claim, for trifing errors in the pubica-
ton of news not connected with public
matters. They also say the censorship
handicaps newspapec enterprise by sup
pressing cable dispatches, received from
respectable agencies, whose transmission
IS of an exceedingly costly character.
The matter suppressed includes reports
of government actions, among them be-
ing Philippine and American occurrences
which might give the Fitipinos an un-
favorable opinion of the United States.
