Paris, April 22.-No reigning sover-

MARK TW AIN DEAD
Famous HunOriSt Passes Away
at Redding, Conn.,
VICTIM OF ANGINA PECTORIS
End Is fastened by Grief and
Great Agony Of Body.

Redding, Conn, April 22.-Samuel
Langhorne Clemens ("Mark Twain')
died painlessly of angina pectoris.
He lapsed into coma at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon and never recovered
consciousness. 1t was the end of a
man outworn by grief and acute agony
of body.
Wednesday was 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 pos
session of all his faculties.
He recognized his daughter Clara,
Mrs. Ossip Gabrilovitch, spoke a ra-
tional word or two and, feeling him
self 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.
At the deathbed we're only Mrs. Ga
brilovitch, her husband, Ossip Gabrilo-
witch, DR.. Robert. Halsey, DR. Quin-
tard, Albert Bigelow Paine, who will
write Mark Twain's biography, and the
two trained nurses. Restoratives-
digitalis, strychnine and camphor-
were administered, but the patient
failed to respond
Was a Native of Missouri.
Mr.. Clemens first saw the light in
the little town of Florida, Mo-, Nov.
80, 1886.
His boyhood was not unlike that of
Tom Sawyer, the character he created
to become the hero of other American
boys for generations to follow. Young
Clemens received but a scanty school
education; in fact, it is suspected that
Mark Twain and Tom Sawyer were
one.
Samuel L. Clemens was man who
saw only the best in life; he ever re-
fused to see anything else.
In grinding poverty, in af1uence,
surrounded by happy family, or
standing at the bier of a loved one,
Mark Twain never gave up to despair.
Few among us have known grief as
bitter as he. Few men still have con-
tributed as much to the joy of the
world
Frontier reporter, miner, steamboat
pilot, captain of finance, bankrupt, sue
cessful author, no matter what his
station in life for the moment, Mark
Twain was always the same genial
friend and companion.
Simple funeral sservices over the
remains of Mr. Clemens were held
in New York city and the body was
inferred in the family plot at Elmira
beside those of his wife, two daugh
ters and an infant son.

Birmingham, Ala, April 22.-Not

by the explosion in the Mulga mine

pany is alive. Twenty-six bodies have
been recovered. They were so badly
burned and mangled by the force of
the explosion that Identification was

never in the history of mining in Ala

by an explosion in mine. He de-
clared that as yet he was unable to

New UIm Man Meets Death in a Pc

cuiar Manner.
Frank Preisinger, seventy-one years
old, met death at New Ulm in a pc
culiar manner.
After spending part of the night
sleeping in the depot he sauntered
along Minnesota street, the principal
thoroughfare, and ascended the stairs
of the Reinhart block, where he fell
asleep. Shortly thereafter he tumbled
down stairs, his head striking large
plate glass in the door at the foot of
the stairs.
He was literally impaled on the
ragged edges of the broken pane,
which cut his throat and jugular vein,
causing instant death.
