died painlessly at $50 tonight of
angina pectoris. He lapsed into
coma at 8 o'clock this afternoon
and never recovered consciousness.
1t was the end of man worn out
by grief and acute agony of the
body.
Although Clemens was in stu
por most of yesterday, late last
night he passed into the first natural
sleep known since he returned from
Bermuda, and this morning awoke
refreshed and even family cheer
full and in full possession of his
faculties. He recognized his daugh-
ter, Clara (Mrs. Ossip Gabrilo-
witsch), and spoke rational word
or two Feeling himself unequal
to conversation he wrote out in
pencil: "Give me my glasses" and
these were his last words. Laying
them aside, he sank first into a
reverie and later into final uncon-
sciousness. 1t was thought at the
time that the end was near and
even DR.. Robert Halsey, held no
hopes that he might again rally.
Albert Bigelow Paine, Mark Twain's
biographer and literary executor,
said to a caller who desired to in

Nevertheless, Mr.. and Mrs. E. E.

NEW YORK, April 21.-The Rev.
DR.. Roberts of Rochester, N. Y,
who has been a missionary in India
for many years, attracted rather
more attention from curious New

large woolen bag which he wore
to cover his right shoulder.
"The bag acts as my pocket and
also my purse" he explained. In
India the clothes worn by both
men and women have no pockets. .
