MARK TWAIN DEAD Famous Humorist Passes Away at Redding, Conn. VICTIM OF ANGINA PECTORIS End Is Hastened by Grief and Great Agony of Body. Redding, April Langhorne Clemens died painlessly of angina pectoris. He lapsed into coma at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and never recovered consciousness. It was the end of a man outworn by grief and acute agony of body.

Wednesday was a bad day for the little knot of anxious watchers at the bedside For long hours the gray, aquiline features lay molded 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 faintly cheerful, and in full possession of all his faculties. He recognized his daughter Clara, Mrs. Ossip Gabrilovitch, spoke a rational 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 unconsciousness. At the deathbed were only Mrs.

Gabrilovitch, her husband, Ossip Gabrilovitch, Dr. Robert Halsey, Dr. Quintard, Albert Bigelow Paine, who will write Mark Twain's biography, and the two trained nurses. digitalis, strychnine and 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, Nov. 30, 1835. 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 a man who saw only the best in life he ever refused to see anything else. In grinding poverty, in affluence, surrounded by a 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 contributed as much to the joy of the world Frontier reporter, miner, steamboat pilot, captain of finance, bankrupt, successful 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 interred in the family plot at Elmira beside those of his wife, two daugh ters and an infant son.

CUCUMBER CLAIMS. How Our Alaskan Citizens Stake Out a Salad. A cucumber does not stand much show on the Seward peninsula, Alaska, according to Henry M. Hoyt, ex-district attorney at Nome, who amused the house committee on territories at Washington the other day by describing the agricultural possibilities of the far northwest. Mr.

Hoyt gave the committee Lis views on a bill providing for a legislative council for Alaska, but branched off upon the subject of vegetables 1 "You cucumbers anof lettuce upon the Seward peninsula," he said, "by planting close to the steam exhaust of an electric light house. When a cucumber vine shows signs of fructifying a fellow may take a visiting card, tie it to the vine and thus stake a claim upon the cucumber. When the cucumber grows up it is the property of the claim holder." "How about fruit? You can grow that, can't you?" asked Chairman Hamilton. "It will have to be hardy fruit with the thermometer 80 below sometimes," responded Mr. Hoyt.

The witness said he knew nothing about the agricultural conditions in the interior, which were painted in glowing colors by Delegate Wickersham of Alaska. Mr. Hoyt, who Is now attorney general for Porto Rico, told the committee that the character of the floating population of Alaska made inadvisable an elective legislature. He recommended the appointment of its members by the president, saying that the people of Alaska were too widely separated to get together on local needs and elections. A legislature in part elected and in part appointed, he said, also would bring trouble, as petty jealousies would crop out constantly.

When he was asked to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt he made no excuse nor apology.

"We are unable to say," said the court, "that the penalty inflicted was not warranted by the facts and the judgment is accordingly affirmed." Card Playing Dog.
