Sinking Man Falls to Recognize Wife
and Passes Away Without Regain

der the Ban of Church.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS by his wife,
children, Doctor Makovetsky and the
other attending physicians Count Leo
Tolstoi passed away peacefully at
$50 Sunday morning in the lonesome
little railway station of the town.
Efforts of the church to gather the
famous reformer into its folds eff
fected nothing, as neither side
yielded
1t was recognized long before he
passed away that his case was hope
less.
Several of the physicians were
greatly overcome by the approaching
death of Russia's great writer.
His heart beat it's last apparently
without a clear moment to enable
MIN to say farewell or cast forgiv-
ing look upon his wife and children.
Tolstoi, accompanied only by Doctor
Makovetsky, left his home at Yasnaya
Poliana for the purpose of ending his
days in solitude, to which he more
and more inclined during his later
years. His pilgrimage led him to
the monastery at Shamardine, in the
province of Kaluga, where he re-
manned as the guest of his sister,
Marie, who is nun in the cloister.
Learning that his retreat had boon
discovered, he insisted upon proceed
ing on his journey to the Caucasus,
where he hoped to spend his last
days close to the Tolstoian colony on
the shores of the Black Sea.
But during the railroad journey he
was overcome with exhaustion and
the cold, and Doctor Makovetsky was
compelled to have him transferred to
the flag station at Astapova, where
he was made as comfortable as pos
sible in the rude wooden building.
For five days he had lain there suf-
fering first from bronchitis and later
from Inflammation of the lungs. Spe-
cialists were called from Moscow
and other places, but Notwithstanding
their utmost efforts, the heart Of the
great Russian responded but feebly
to the restoratives and stimulants.
