REDDING, Conn, April 22.-The
picturesque country place of the late
| Samuel Langhorne Clemens, Mark
Twain. which was so full of activity
before The famous humorist was
stricken with his fatal illness, Is the
scene of dep silence today. The
| literary genius died painlessly at $50
o'clock Thursday night of angina pee

O'Clock in the Afternoon and never re-.

At the bedside when the end came
were his daughter, Mrs. Ossip Cab

low Paine, the late writer's biograph-
er and literary executor, and two
trained nurses. Digitalis. strychnine
and camphor were administered in
an effort to prolong life, but he failed
TO respond.
Wednesday was a bad day for the
little knot of anxious watchers at the
bedside. For long hours the gray,
aquline features lay moulded in the
inertia of death, while the pulse sank
lower, but late at night Mark Twain
passed from stupor into the first nat
ural sleep he had known since he re-
turned from Bermuda and yesterday
morning he woke refreshed, even
family cheerful, and in full possession
of all his faculties.
He recognized his daughter, Clara,
Mrs. Ossip Gabrilowitsch, spoke a ra-
tional word or two and feeling himself
unequal to conversation, wrote out in
pencil: Give me my glasses" They
were his last words. Laying Them
aside he sank first into reverie and
later into final Inconsistencies.
Mark Twain's death removes from
