WASHINGTON, D. C., April 12.-Rev.
IT. Dewitt Talmage, the noted Presby-
iterion divine, died at Q o'clock tonight. at
his residence. in this city. 1t had been
evident for some daEsa that there was no
hope of recovery and the att tending -phy-
Z s.icians. so informed he ia rnily The
patient gradually grew weaker until LIE
passed away SO quietly that even the
members of the family, all Of whom were
watching at the bedside, hardly knew that
he had gone.
The irnmedia te cause of death was in
fammation of the brain.
DR.. Talmage was in poor health when he
started away from Washington for Mex
leo for. a vacation and rest six weeks
age. Ee. was then suffering from In
-f1uenza and serious, catarrhal conditions.
;Snce his return to Washington some
time "a go,aShe. had been quite ILL., Until
Thursda w. however, fearSlfo his death
! were not entertained. The last rational
words; uttered by Dr. Talmase were on
tho day preceding the marriage of his
daughter. when he, said:1 "Of course.
know you, Maud. :" Since then he had
been unconscious. 80
At DR. Talmage'sf bedside besides his
wife were three members OF his famt-
W. Rev Frank Dewitt Talmage OF
Chicago: Mrs. Warren G. Smith. of Brook
lyn; Mrs. Daniel Mangur,. of Brooklyn;
Mrs. Allan E. Donnon, of Richmond; Mrs.
Clarence Wycoff and Miss Talmage. OF
Washington.
While arrangements for the funeral
have note been finally completed, the
family have about decided to- have the
remains taken to the Church Of the
Covenant here on Tuesday, where ser
vices will be held. The body will then
be conveyed to Brooklyn where inter-
ment will be. made in the family plot in
Greenwood Cemetery, probably on We'd
