Redding. Conn.-Samuel Langhorne
Clemens c"Mark TwainD died pain
lessly at $50 o'clock Thursday OF an
gina pectoris. He lapsed into coma at
o'clock In the afternoon and never
recovered consciousness.
1t was the end Of a man outworn by
grief and acute agony Of body.
The day before had been a bad day
for the little knot Of anxious watchers
At the bedside.
For long hours the grey, aquiline
features lay moulded in the inertia OF
death. while the pulse sank steadily.
but late at night Mark Twain passed
from stupor into the first natural sleep
he had known since he returned from
Bermuda. and Thursday morning he
awoke refreshed. even family cheerful,
and in full possession Of his faculties.
He recognized his daughter Clara

ell:
Give me my glasses"
Those were his last words.
Laying the glasses aside. he sank
first into reverie and later into final
unconsciousness.
At the deathbed were only Mrs. Ga
brilowitsch (Clara Clemens), her hus-
band, Dr. Robert Halsey, DR.. Quintard,
Albert Bigelow Paine. who will write
Mark Twain's biography, and the two
trained nurses.
Last summer his walks began to fall
ter, last fall they ceased for good. The
death Of H. H. Rogers. close friend,
was a severe blow. The death of his
daughter, Jeane, who was seized with
an attack of epilepsy last fall while in
her bath, was another blow from
which he never recovered. 1t was then
that the stabbing pains in the heart
began. Mark Twain died as truly as it
can be said of any man, of a broken
heart.
Many messages of comfort were re-
ceived by Mrs. Ossip Gabrilowitsch,
Mark Twain's only living daughter.
Among them were kilograms from
President Taft and former President
Roosevelt. A message was also re-
ceived from the authorities of Hanni-
bal, Mo-, asking that Clemens body
be brought there for burial. Mrs. Cab
rilowitsch in reply, said that, as the
family burial grounds were in Elmira.
N. Y, it was thought best that the
body be taken there, where lie already
his wife, his two daughters, Susan and
Jeane. and his infant son, Langhorne.
