had been evident for some days that
there was no hope of his recovery,
and the attending physicians so in
formed the family. The patient grad
ually grew weaker until life passed
away so quietly that the members of
the family, all OF whom were watching
at the bedside, hardly knew that he
had gone. The immediate cause of
death was inflammation of the brain.
DR.. Talmage was in poor health
when he started away from Washing
ton for Mexico for vacation and rest
six weeks ago.
He was then suffering from infu-
enza and serious catarrhal conditions.
Since his return to Washington some
time ago he had been i'll. Until Thurs
day, however, fears of his death were
not entertained. The last rational
words uttered by Dr. Talmage were ON
the day preceding the marriage of his
daughter, when he said
VI course | KNOW you, MAUI.
Since then he has been unconscious.
At DR.. Talmages bedside besides his
wife were these members of his fam

Mrs Allen E. Donnau, Richmond; Mrs.

have not been fully completed, the
family have about decided to have the
remains taken to the Church of the

held. The body will then be conveyed
to Brooklyn, where interment will be
