toms Of heai't failure suddenly
appeared, and Drs. 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

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

heart failure, The remote cause was disease
of the mitral and apertio valves, the existence
of which was known to his physicians, to him

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-

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

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

THE NEWS A WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.A telegram w?
received at the White House from Non

told the night watchman that it was an
announcement of General Sheri

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.

Why Waiters Should Not raid Extra

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

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

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.

It gives me great pleasure to add my tes
timony in favor of AXLCOCK'S POROUS
PLASTERS. Last October I had a very se
vere attack of lumbago and suffered untold
agony could not turn in bed or get in any
position without assistance, and with pains
almost unbearable the folks suggested
ALLCOCK'S POROUS PLASTERS. 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.

Would Burn his Shirt.
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. All

recommended her to try for inflammatory rheuma

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

and she is now able to be around the house. Hib
