His condition had been such for several months that the members of his family had kept themselves In constant readiness to go to his bedside at any moment.

On Saturday morning- he had a relapse, and ii apparent that recovery was impossible. Several times, however, he rallied, but toward night began to sink. During the night there were feeble rallies, but they did not last long-. His Children "Were with Him. Yesterday morning it was seen that the end was but a few hours off and his attendants remained constantly at hia bedside.

The end came quickly. The extreme heat of Saturday and Friday had much to do with hastening- death. Friday Mr. Dana showed signs of distress and everthing- passible was done to relieve him. He had been weakened by long illness, and during- the summer was several times thought to be on the verge of a fatal collapse, but each time rallied.

He did not improve much with the coming cooler weather and the sinking- spells became more frequent. On Friday Mr. Dana was able to take only the lightest nourishment, and this condition continued. Paul Dana and his sisters, Mrs. Draper.

Mra. Underbill and Mrs. Branan. were at his home on Saturday morning and were warned to remain there. They were at the bedside when death came.

Would Have Created Xewn-Gathering. George William Curtis to say that if there had been no such thing as journalism in existence Charles A. Dana would have created the business of gathering news and selling it and commenting upon it in such a manner as to attract attention. Of all the men who have gained fame and fortune by newspaper work Mr. Curtis believed that ifr.

Dana was the best equipped for such enterprise both by native ability and acquired endowments. It is probable that the traditions of journalism as shall be told In the future will point to Mr. Dana as the greatest of American journalists. Tet Mr. Dana had no idea in his early life what his career was to be.

As a boy in a. rocky and desolate New Hampshire town i seemed to those who knew him that he The managing editor of a paper even at that time was its executive officer, And in the fierce competition which waa then raging between The Tribune and The Herald, the highest executive qualities were demanded to match the extraordinary genius of James Gordon Bennett. Mr. Dana revealed them. He did not write much, but almost everything that was written was written at hissug- gestion, Mr.

Greeley devoting his attention especially to the political and economic direction of the paper. Mr. Dana drew to The Tribune some of ths ablest writers and thinkers of the time. Mr. Bennett discovered that the young managing editor of The Tribune had quite as keen "a nose for news" as himself possessed and as good a judgment of the relative importance of news.

He finally disagreed with Greeley as to policy and retired, when Secretary Stanton offered him the post of assistant secretary of war, and he undertook these labors with extraordinary energy. Much oz the time he was with General Grant In the west. He was several times under fire, showing great coolness and courage. After the war Dana might have accepted several offers to re-enter business life, but the fascinations of journalism caused'him to decline every proposition-of that.sort made to him. A company was organized to create and publish a great Republican newspaper in and Mr.

Dana was offered the editorship, and a small interest in it was given to him. Later he sold out his-interest in this paper and went to- New York, where some of his old-time Republican friends helped him to buy the New York Sun, which was to be published as a low priced Republican newspaper. Mr. Dana took charge on the' 1st of January, 1863, the paper then having about 40,000 circulation, and his conspicuous career began with that issue of the paper. Here he finally developed his tal- ent'for finding news and news thatwould sell.

It was his aim not only to g-et the news, but to so present it that the mere reading of it would be interesting and entertaining. His idea was that a fact of itself of no particular eonsequenca might nevertheless in the telling of it he made as interesting as more important news. Under his management the paper secured at one time as high a circulation as 150.000 and its Sunday edition even more than that. Mr. Dana, like Caleb Gushing, seemed to thrive upon hard work.

Mental applies, z-r, was delight to him. He learned botany while riding to and from his office. In his spare moments he mastered the Icelandic language. He knew Dante probably better than any other American in New York. Spanish literature delighted him, and he mastered it at oM moments.

A learned horticulturist, the gardens of his summer place were filler! with choice flowers, and for trees he had an affection which led him to know them all and to raise upon his island retreat in I-ong Island sound every variety of fir tree capable of living in a temperate climate. Mr. Dana was nearly 50 years of ag before he began, of his own experienc to know the luxury of wealth. When went to The Tribune as managing edito his salary was $12 a week, and he wa 45 years of age before he had rece've more than J50 a weeek. The royalties his book of household poetry and upoi Appleton's encyclopedia brought him larger income than that, although hi money came to him mostly after he be came editor of The Sun.

In his late years Mr. Dana received $50,000 a yea from The Sun and handsome dividend upon the stock, a majority of which controlled. And Vigorously tTses the Tomahawk That He Refuses to That the Proposed Retirement of the Democratic leader Is a Fraud with a String Hade Birds" Go Into the Fight Henry George at Tork. Baltimore, Oct. Sun Saturday published a lengthy editorial reply to Senator Gorman's letter, which in part is as follows: "No person of ordinary intelligence can read the le'tter from Senator Gorman to The Sun, which is published in our advertising columns today, without at once perceiving that it is a mere campaign trick, eminently characteristic in its palpable Insincerity of the source from which it proceeds.

If Mr. Gorman really wishes to retire from the contest the way for him to do 90 is to retire, not simply to prate about his willingness to sacrifice his personal ambition for the good of the party under certain impossible and preposterous conditions. It is not necessary for him to come to The Sun to aak permission, to do so. If he wanted to step down and out, or had any real intention, of doing so, he could have effected that purpose with far smaller expenditure of cash and words. But that is the very last thing which he has any intention of.

doing. Sport of the Sacrifice. "His sole object la to assume a heoric attitude in the hope of deluding the public in the belief that he is a great patriot, who is willing to 'sacrifice' himself for his party if the cruel and perfidious Sun will only let him. What a splendid and noble figure our senior senator presents as he strikes this dramatic attitude and calls frantically upon The Sun to permit him to retire? Unfortunately the role of disinterested patriotism is an unfamiliar one for him, and we regret to say that his impersonation is not a convincing one. Nature did not intend him for the part of Brutus.

He plays Cassius far better. But there is something familiar In the tones of the actor in Spite of this tragic strut and melodramatic style.

Dana thought of a mercantile career, and he went to Buffalo, then a thriving village, where with a relative he sold goods over the counter. A short experience was sufficient to satisfy him that his calling was not in trade. The result was that he quitted mercantile pursuits and joined the socialistic community called Brook Farm, which was established in what was then the town of Roxbury, where already were Nathaniel Hawthorne and Margaret Fuller and George Rtpleyand George 'William Curtis and others of literary fame or promise. He lived long enough to see all of his associates in that experiment die and every of them convinced that the scheme was Utopian. WAS A.

Windsor, one of the most beautiful towns in the province, was devastated by fire yesterday morning. For six hours, beginning shortly before ,1 a. the fire, fanned by a violent northwest gale, raged so fiercely that the local fire department was absolutely helpless to cope with It and within, half an hour after its discovery the mayor began to call for outside assistance. Long- before noon the town had been eaten up almost completely, the area covered by the flames being nearly a mile square, and of the' 400 or more buildings occupying the section barely half a dozen scorched structures remained. No Nova.

Scotia town has ever been visited by a conflagration of such dimensions. Of the 3,500 people that inhabited the place few have homes of their own now. Over 3,000 have taken in by the rest- dents of the surrounding country and neighboring towns, while the remainder of the sufferers have gone to Halifax or are-sheltered in army tents erected in the vacant plots by a detachment of British troops from the garrison city. The disaster is appalling in its extent. The fire started in a barn behind the marine block in the heart of the business district.

The high gale prevailing carried the flames to other buildings before the firemen had time to get at work. The total loss estimated at $3,000,000, with barely $500.000 insurance. More Offices Given Oat. 'Washington. Oct.

There was no necessity after this of any signature or other identification of the writer." After referring to Gorman's offer to meet The Sun half way in the effort to secure Democratic success in Maryland the editorial continues: "Meet him half way? The Sun does not do things by halves.

There is no half way house between an honest currency and a spurious one; between an honest ballot and a. fraudulent one; between an honest tariff and one manipulated in the Interest of trusts and monopolies. It is not necessary to discuss at length Mr. Gorman's defense of his public career. He confesses that he is opposed to civil service reform; that he opposed the Australian ballot law, and that he mutilated the Wilson tariff bill.

Charged with Bein(? Insincere. "In conclusion, The Sun will say plainly to Mr. Gorman that even if he retired from the contest the difficulty of restoring harmony would still exist, because not only would his machine remain, but because his machine is pledged to a financial policy, and consequently to a senatorial nominee, of his own color and character. Objectionable as are Mr. Gorman's political methods and influence they are not the only things to which the reflecting voters of Maryland object.

His want of the financial question are vital issues, and the people of Maryland know that no matter how much he might retire he would permit no man to go to the United States senate who was not his faithful disciple and follower. Mr. Gorman's offer to retire has a string, or rather a cable, tied to It. It Is a piece of cheap bluff, which will affect no votes and which only shows Mr. Gorman's realization of the desperation of his fortunes.

No. no, Mr. Gorman, the fly will not walk into your parlor. You must run your own campaega." KEENTORCESLEXTS FOB GEORGE. FEDERATION OF RAILWAY IMPLOYE9 Provision of Scheme That the Declaring; of Peorta, Oct.
