MARK TWAIN IS DEAD
EARLY RALLY I'm MORNING HOURS
QUICKLY PASSES.
Band of Watchers Whose Hope Had
Been Buoyed During Day Shocked
When Death Came.

Redding, Conn.-Samuel Lallghorn
Clemens MARX Twain) died painlcssly
at $3.50 o'clock Thursday night of an
gina pectoris. 1t was the end of a man
outworn by grief and acute agony of
body.
1t was a bad day for the little knot
OF anxious watchers at the bedside. For
long hours the gray, aquiline features
lay nodded in the inertia of death, while
the pulse sank lower and lower, but late
at night Mark Twain passed from stupor
into the first natural sleep he had known
since he returned from Bermuda, and in
the morning he woke refreshed, even
family cheerful, and in full possession of
all his faculties.
His last words were spoken at /
o'clock to his daughter. What they
were she only heard, for they were faint
and almost inarticulate. Unable then
to speak, he grasped a pad and PEN
cil-the instinct to write seeming DOM
inant ever in the face of approaching
senselessness.
He traced the words, Give me my
glasses" and with the spectacles adj
justed he gazed at the paper, placed his
pencil to it as though to put down some
farewell message, then his strength
waned and the writing materials slipped
from his grip.
He smiled YEARLY at his daughter,
then his head sank back to the pillow
and he passed into the coma which death
ended.

foremost humorist, and known the world
over as Mark Twain, was born in the

WEEDS DRExEl
AMERICAN WINS OUT OVER COR0.
NETS AND TITLES.
Thousands Brave Rain to See the Beau.
tiful Bride-Young Couple Receive
Over Million in Gifts.

New York.-Miss Marjorie Gwyn
Gould, fairest daughter of New York,
became the bride today of Anthony }.
Drexel, Jr., a good, sensible young
American, who won her from a score OF
foreign %suitors, noble and titled.
Her wedding, though there was not
about it the glamor of a castle abroad or
the promise of association with royalty,
was none the less regal in it's boauty
and %lavishness. 1t was, indeed, quite
as striking as any OF the ceremonies
wherein New York girls exchanged for
tunes for ~coronets or the title of miss"
for that of princess"
1t was a great, happy affair that
brought out the best known folk OF this
city and Philadelphia, the bridegroom's
home; that drew into the driving rain
thousands of humblest citizens, who
took a drenching for a glimpse of the
popular Miss Marjorie, and that be-
slowed upon the two young people a
wealth of gifts that more than 81 ,000,'
900 could not buy.
A shouting crowd outside in the rain
appraised those within at 4 o'clock that
the bride had arrived. Breaking all po'
lice restraint, the crowd rushed toward
the canopied entranc oef the church and
surrounded the car.
Umbrellas were broken, skirts were
torn and hats were wrenehe1 awry, yet
it couldn't exactly be called a riotous
rush. 1t was good natured and half
of the shouting took the form of a sort
of cheer for Miss Marjorie. Her father
and mother were with her and hurried
her into the church. 4
st. Bartholomew Church, scene of
many weddings of the fashionable, was
unable to contain all the invited guests
who came to witness the VOWS OF the
dark-haired young heiress and the man.
Unlocking Philadelphia. The surround.
ing streets could scarcely hold the unbid-
den ones-women, nine out of ten
who came for what part of the spectacle
they might see. There We're 1000 OF the
former, perhaps 5000 of the latter.

Inquiry May Stop All Future Deals, Says
Barrett.

Atlanta, Ga.-The present investiga-

called bull cotton pool in New York will
materially aid the campaign against
gambling in farm products, according to
Charles S. Barrett, president of the Ma

the activity of the department of justice
in the matter of the cotton investigation,
Mr.. Barrett said:

Rogers, Ark.-The fruit crop in North
western Arkansas had a close call Mon
day night from being destroyed. The
mercury dropped to a point of two de-

or four nights the fruit growers have
experienced much uneasiness for fear of
a heavy frost. Benton county has more
bearing apple trees within her borders

the apple crop low promises the biggest
yield in the history of the industry.
There are over 5000, 900 apple trees in

MRS. PINKHAMs STANDING INVITATION:

Women suferingfrom any form of female weakness arein-
vited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at flynn.
Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by
women. A woman can freely talk of her private illness
to a woman; thus has been established this confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which
has never been broken. Never has she published a testi-
monial or used a letter without the written consent of the
writer, and never has the company allowed these conf
dental letters to get out of their possession, as the hum
dreds of thousands of them in their files will attest.
Out Of the vast volume of experience which Mrs. Pink
ham has to draw from, it is more than possible that she
She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her
advice has helped thousands. Surely any woman, rich or
poor, should be glad to take advantage of this generous
offer of assistance. Address Mrs. Pinkham, care OF Lydia
E.. Pinkham Medicine Co, Lynn, Mass.
The Tupelo journal., 1910-04-29

This Fact - that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are con-
fding your private ills to a woman "a woman whose ex-
perience with women's diseases covers twenty-five years.
The present Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law OF Lydia E.
Pinkham, was for years under her direction, and has ever
since her decease continued to advise women.
Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad
to worse, knowing well that they ought to have immediate
assistance, but a natural modesty causes them to shrink
from exposing themselves to the questions and probable
examinations of even their family physician. Such ques-
tioning and examination is unnecessary. Without cost
you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual
experience is great.
