Previous tb the sudden appear ance of heart failure at about 9:30 there had been no premonitions of any unfavor able change in his condition. The weather has been warmer than usual and the General was at times a little rest less, but seemed generally bright and cheerful. His voice was strong, he took a full supply of nourish ment, slept occasionlly as usual, and the doctors and the family were in hopeful spirits.

O'Reilly and Matthews, who were with him at the time, immediately applied the remedies which proved successful in all similar previous attacks, but this time they were without effect, and despite all that could be done the General gradually sank into a condition of complete unconsciousness, and at 10.20 breathed his last. Mrs. Sheridan, the sisters Maban and Justinian, and the faithful body servant were at his bedside throughout his dying .hour. No arrangement has yet been de termined upon regard to the time or place of the General's burial. The following bulletin was issued at mid] night: "General Shencan died at 10:20 this even ing. The immediate cause of his death was heart failure, The remote cause was disease of the mitral and apertio valves, the existence of which was known to his physicians, to him self. and to his family in November of last year. The complications which have 'occurred have been nervous exhaustion, pneumonia, pulmonary ceger a, anasarca -and hemorrhages. The last day of 3iis life was somewhat restless, but not more so than he has been several times since his arrival at Nonquitt. At about 9:80 symptoms of heart failure suddenly appeared. The remedies which had hitherto been suc cessful were vigorously applied, but proved in effectual, and he sank rapidly, dying painlessly &t the hour named. 'ROBET M. RErLLY, Surgeon United States Army. WASHINGTON MATTHEWS, "Assistant Surgeon United States Army." A few days ago it became evident that 'the General was really retrograding in stead of progressing. The reaction which had been occasioned by the change of climate had been exhausted, and symptoms rapid decline were noticed. J)r. O'Reilly was hastily summoned, and on his arrival acknowledged the case was hopeless. He at once sent word to Dr. Pepper, of the University oiL. Pennsyl vania, the specialist who had ran called into the case when the General was at Washington and dissolution seemed immi Jient. It was, owever, given out to the public that Dr. Pepp-er's visit was not oc casioned by any alarming change in the 'General's condition. Through out Saturday and Saturday night General Sheridan wa3 attacked with those violent fits of coughing which so alarmed his physicians in Washington, and in which it was supposed he would die. The physi cians resorted to the use of oxygen to sustain life, and frequent applications were given him. They relieved him for a short time, but did not have the good effect which invariably followed their applica tion when he was in Washington. Then the electric battery was called into requi sition, and from its frequent use moment ary good results were obtained. The General grew weaker all through the day and night. The distressing, suffo cating cough, which resembled a violent unsuccessful retching alter vomiting, Ing more and more violent and alarming at each repetition. ThrmLghout the night Drs. O'Reilly, Yar row, Matthews and Pepper worked earnest ly with the patient. The General's devoted wife was constantly at his side ministering to his wants under the directions of the doctors. The trained nurse from the Balti more convent and Colonel Mike Sheridan were also in constant attendance The success of the oxygen treatment on previous attacks buoyed up hope in the family, though it was evident to the phy sicians that the wonderful vitality and marvelous will power which had sustained the patient throughout his long siege at Washington were of no further avail. Hi vital forces were well nigh exhausted and the life spark about to be extin guished. The distressing fact was broken to the family shortly after daylight. Mrs. Sheri dan was first to be informed that the General's life could no longer be preserved, and that dissolution might occur at any moment. The physi eians mostly feared the violent coughing spasms, as the effect of them on the heart was most alarming. Mrs. Sheridan re- WHERE THE GEXEBAL DIED. ceived with composure the news, and ex erted herself to make as comfortable as possible the last hours of her hus band's life. The renewing of the ooughmg spells in the morning brought fresh alarm to the household. Mrs. Sheridan had summoned the four children, and they were brought into the sick room. Colonel Mike Sheridan was also present, as were also the physicians. None of them left the chamber all through the day. A each successive attack of coughing the General grew weaker. For a second at a time his heart ceased to give evidence of pulsation, and again and again the physicians believe that the last moment had arrived. Then there would be a feeble flutter, and instantly the oxygen and electrical treatment would be re newed. The General was conscious up to within a few hours of his death. He had, how ever, lost the power of speech, and indi cated, by signs his desires. Mrs. Sheridan sat at the bedside. Next to her was Colonel Mike, and arranged around the bedside were the four children. A o'clock the General gasped as if trying to cough. He was unsuccessful, and seemed to be awfully distressed at some Uternal attack, which he could not relieve '$$&%. nor indicate to tne lamiiy that they might apply remedies. gradually sank into a stupor and remained unconscious to the end. The illness which has just resulted in the General's death commenced on May 13, immediately after his return from a tour of inspection out West. He com plained of feeling unwell and worn out, and came down to the office each day. for about a week. He was then forced to remain in doors, and Tues day, May 22, he had a severe at tack of heart ailure.which greatly alarmed his family and physicians. On account of the effect it was feared the news would have on the General's mother, who was aged and in ill health, an endeavor was made to keep the more alarming phases of his illness from the public, and it was not until the end of that week that the phy sicians admitted the true character of the disease. On Friday, May 26, he had several attacks of heart failure, and these in creased in violence with each succeeding attack. Several times during his illness it seemed as if life had become ex tinct, but by the adoption of radical meas ures the action of the heart was stimu lated and he was brought round again. His heart at one time ceased to beat for a few seconds, but the extraordinary watchfulness and care of the attending physicians brought him back to consciousness again. Ne complications set in and hope was well nigh abandoned several times, only to be renewed by the great vitality and deter mination shown by the stricken soldier. The history of these relapses and recover ies is familiar to the readers,of the daily press. With the approach of warm weather it was decided by the physicians that the pa tient must be removed, as he would be utterly unable in his weakened state to withstand a period of prolonged heat. Ac cordingly on Saturday, June 30, he was, after several delays, placed on board the United States steamer Swatara and taken to Nonquitt, Mass., which place he reached after several stops caused by recurrences of the heart trouble. The General had made his will and all preparations for death, and was ready to face it, though resolutely determined that life should not be given up without a severe struggle on his part He leaves a wife, the daughter of General Rucker, and four small childrenthree girls and one boy. THE NEWS A WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.A telegram w? received at the White House from Non quitt at 13:08 a. m. and the messenger boy told the night watchman that it was an announcement of General Sheri dan's death. The watchman decided not telephone the news the President at Oak View nor to Colonel Lamont, as they were both undoubtedly asleep and nothing could be done until morning. The seal of the telegram was, therefore, left unbroken. Colonel Lamont, however was subsequently awakened and informed of the sad news. He said that he would not communicate it to the President until morning. THE :XEWS ELSEWHERE. CINCINNATI, Aug. 6All the fire-hells are tolling in consequence of the news of.

General Philip Henry Sheridan was bora in Somerset, O., March 6,1831. He graduated at the military academy at West Point in 1858, and served on frontier duty in Texas for nearly two years, and in Oregon from 1835 to 1861. On the outbreak of the civil war he was ap pointed quartermaster of .the Army of Southwestern Missouri, and in April. 1863, Chief Quartermaster of the Western depart ment. In May, 1802, he was appointed Colonel of the Second Michigan Volunteer Cavalry was commissioned Brigadier-General of Volun teers July 1, 1863, and, after a brief period, was put in command of the Eleventh Division of the Army of the Ohio. He commanded a division in the Army of the Cumberland, and at the battle of Stone River, December 31, 18b3, saved the army from rout by his stubborn re sistance. For his gallant conduct he was promoted to be Major-General of Volunteers, In April, 1864, he was called to the Army of the Potomac by General Grant, put In com mand of the cavalry corps, and within the months of May, June and July, besides pro tecting the flanks of the army and reconnoiter ing the enemy's position, was successfully engaged in eighteen distinct actions. On the 4th of August, 1804, he was put in com mand of the Army of the Shenandoah and soon after of the middle military division, where he gained several successes over Gen eral Early, for which he was made a Brigadier General ot the United States Army, and in November following was made Major-General. He joined General Grant's armY at City Point, whence he started, March 25, 18J% to strike the final blow for the over throw of General Lee's Army of Northern Vir ginia. He fought the battle of Dmwiddie Court-Mouse, March 81, and that of Five Forks, which necessitated Lee's evacuation of Richmond and Petersburg. April 1, and as the Army of Northern Virginia fled he con stantly attacked and harassed them, and compelled their surrender at Appomattox Court-House, April 1865. He was assigned to the command of the Military Divwon of tho Southwest June 17,1865. Under anew reorgan ization of the military districts and depart ments be was assigned to the department of the gulf, August 15, 1866, and in March, 1867, to Firth military distriot (Louisiana and Texas).

During the forepart of his last illness the rank of General ot the Army was revived by the United States, the object being espe cially to secure the appointment of General Sheridan to the position order that should he die it might be with all the honors possible for the Government to confer upon him. The plan was successful, since President Cleve land, within a few hours after the passage of the bill, sent in the name of the distinguished soldier and the Senate promptly oonttrmed him. Why Waiters Should Not raid Extra by Customers. It is to the selfishness and thought lessness of the rich, that the growth of "tipping" is mainly due. But, while the result is not oppressive to them, it has become a serious tax on persons of moderate incomes who travel much or take their meals in restaurants. Ihe man who can afford to pay anywhere from $2 to 5 for his dinner does not Doiss the quarter, which is the lowest that he will give athe waiter. To the man or woman of moderate means who takes three meals a day at a restaurant nrhere the service is sufficiently good to be agreeable the necessity of paying thirty cents a day for "tips" is a serious addition ato the expense of living. If his three meals cost from $1.50 to $9 the increase is from 16 to 20 per cent. Over $100 a year compulsorily spent in "tips" is a sum which, if saved, would maketo many people the difference be tween continual pinching and a fair de gree of comfort. Ten cents is the low est "tip" that can be given in a good second-cXara restaurant. Now, if a man has a'Shop and a glass of beer or a cup of tea or coffee for lunch at the cost of thirty-five or forty cents he is paying twenty-five per cent, additional for the privilege of giving the restau rant-keeper a large profit, as the cost of the meal, with all expenses added, is at the highest not more than two thirds of the amount charged. The necessity for "tipping" is ever on the increase. Even at the lunch counter down-town where the hurried eater sits upon a swinging stool, it is customary to "tip" the waiter, and Borne patrons also "tip" the carver. In the cafes of the large hotels, where a il abnormally Ixiglx charge is made for liquid refreshment, the waiter who carries an order from the bar to a table now expects a tip. If the system ex tends much further the bar-tender who draws a glass of Deer will want ten cents instead of five. The public has become so accustomed to the neccessity of "tipping" that while there is much private grumbling there is no organized puDlic opposition. Persons whooreallydcan nothemselve tip1' afford to either so an stint in other directions, or patronize cheap and uncomfortable restaurants where "tips." are not expected. There will be no public move against this practice, because people who banded themselves in opposition to it would foolishly fear to "be called, mean. Hotel and. restaur ant keepers claim it is impossible to stop the system, because some selfish people would always try to get the bet ter service by continuing the "tip," and therefore they (the proprietors) ar only acting wisely in taking advantage of the public's weakness. This is a worthless argument, for the experience of nearly all the best clubs where "gratuities to servants are absolutely forbidden" is that equally good atten tion is paid to all members. Selfish people would be the first to cease giving "tips" when they found that so doing did not bring any advantage. Reform is only to be hoped for through, the action, ot hotel and restau rant keepers who will possess enough intelligence to see that larger profits can be made by ridding the public of this, to many, almost intolerable bur den. Any man who will start a good restaurant or hotel in which there shall be a strict and ridgidly enforced rule against "tips" will almost assuredly have more patronage than he can ac commodate. It would need only a few such entering wedges to generally re lieve the public of this irksome and un necessary tax.Epoch. An Overworked Official.

A S soon as possible I had one applied to the small oi my back, and to my great surprise I experi enced almost instant relief I continued wearing it until entirely cured, and am hap py to say that I have not had the slfj -1 symptoms of Lumbago since. They area wonderful and valuable plaster for Lum bago, and I take much pleasure in recom mending them. W.-.S. PHILLIPS. A Totrao horse always goes faster after being broken.

Metellus of Macedon was evidently a sly old fellow, and used to say "he would burn his shirt if it knew his true intentions." Were he living to-day, he wou'd no doubt burn his shirt to get a bottle of Alien's Iron Tonic Bitters, if he couldn't "catch on" in any other way, for it is well known that the old fellow was a confirmed dyspeptic and longed for a remedy for the chronic de rangement of the liver and system.

TAMARACK as used diuretic and lax daughter Maud has used Hibbard's Rheu matic Syrup and Plasters, which you so strongly recommended her to try for inflammatory rheuma tism. Her limbs were badly swollen, and the poor girl was in terrible agony. In the midst of the pr.in we wound the Plasters about her limbs, and, as a result the swelling was reduced and she became quiet and rested. The syrup corrected her indiges tion, cleansed the rheumatic poison from her blood, and she is now able to be around the house. Hib bard's Rheumatic Syrup and Plasters are remedies of great merit.
