THE _OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1900. DEATH WINS LONG FIGHT| Benator Oushman Kellogz Davis Pastes Away at 8t. Paul, HAD BEEN BED-RIDDEN FOR SEVEN WEEKS Blood Polsoning Seemed of n velopn Int Result Fatally, ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov, 27.~United States Senator Cushman Kellogg Davis, ohalrman of the committee on foreign relations in the senate, died at his home in this city this evening at 8:48 o'clock after an 1ll- s of two months. He has suifered areatly during his sickness and gradualiy sank away, being unconmscious for several hours before death and so fas as could be kmown suffering no pain. Yesterday, appreciating the approach of the end, Mrs. Davis sent for Veneralble T. H. H. Vililers Appleby, archdeacon of the Protestant Eplscopal diocese of Minnesota, and Rev. Theodore Sedgwick, rector of the church of 8t. John the Evangellst. An attempt had been made to secure the attendance of Bishop Whipple, but that venerable pre- late was in Florida. Upon the arrival of Archdeacon Appleby and Mr. Sedgwick, Benator Davis was for a time sufficiently tional to express his grateful apprecia- tion of their ministrations. Death W Hovered lLong. For moroe than a week It has been known that the death of Semator Davis was cer- taln to occur within a short time. Al- though the bulletins issued by Dr. Stone trom day to day made no positive state- ment to this effect, they nevertheless gave the Impression that the case was a hopeless one. However, the announcement came as & profound shock to the friends and fellow townsmen of the distinguishéd statesman, who had been hoping against hope. The senator's devoted wife, who has been in constant attendance upon his sick bed, bad never lost hope. The senator in his moments of lucidity expressed a strong dotermination to recover and within a week told United States District Attorney Evans, who had been admitted to see him, that he was positive he would soon be well. Indeed, it is the general beliet that the sonator's fron will in all that has kept him alive for tho past week. The serfous kidney affection which devel- oped on November 11 had refused to yleld to treatment and his weakened frame was uneble to withstand the poisons left in his system by these organs failing to perform thefr functions. On Sunday, November §, & serfous change for the worse was noted. Previous to that the senator had been re- ported as having occasional periods of delirfum. That day these delirious spells became more marked and since that time tho lucld intervals have become less and less frequent until the senator was almost constantly out of .his mind. In his de- lrium he raved of his congressional work. He would declare in vigorous phrases frag- ments of the national foreign policy. There was of course no coherence. A sentence about the Philippines would be followed by & comment upon the Monroe doctrine or a uggestion of an impending war with Spain. But always, In his diseased mind, his patriotic and official duties were with him. Devoted Wites Long and Trying Vigil. Thero have been many callers to the Davis home, but no one has been admitted to the sickroom. Two trained nurses were in_attencance, relieving each other after L watches. By the senator eat his wife, who, despitetho-doctor's order that she go to rest, refused to leave the bedside. Her vigll has been & long and trying one, but she has borne the ordeal bravely, and if witely devotion could have saved the dying man‘he would have been saved. Even in his delirfun the senator was quick to notice her absence from his side and would toss about feverishly until again quieted by her presence. When rational he assured her that he would owe his recovery—which he never seemed to doubt—to her un- wavering cheerfulness and encouragement. Second only to Mrs. Davis in devoted at- tendance has been the senator’s aged father. Although past 85 years old the elder Mr. Davis has borne the terrrible strain with great fortitude and has watched over the slck bed of his distinguished son with ten- der solicitude. The senator's mother has herself been very feeble of late and she has not realizeed her son's conditlon. Mrs. Norford and Mrs. Bartlett Tripp, the sena- tor's slsters, have been staying at the house since the serfous nature of his disease has been known and have reltoved Mra. Davis of the household cares and have received all callers. Every day there has been received hun- dreds of messages of inquiry and sympathy. These came from many distinguished mem- bers of the diplomatle corps and high gov- ernment officlals, as well as from those fn the humbler walks ot life and have all evidenced tho widespread Interest in the wolfare of Minnesota’s distinguished son. Ovigin of Fatal 11 After his return from the Maine cam- palgn In September, Senator Davis was troubled by twinges of pain in one of his feet, to which he paid no attention, think- 1ng It was due to neuralgic condition. He began an active campalgn In this state, speaking at Duluth on September 21 and at Alexandria, Minn, on September During the latter speech he suffered so greatly that he could not wear his shoe He returned home at once and was ordered to bed by his physiclan. A few days later an operation was performed, but he failed to improve and a consultation of physicians was called, Drs. Stone, Lankaster and Rothrock participating. Another operation was performed on October 24. It was at first belloved the cuse was one of blood polsoning, caused by infection through a slight abrasion of his foot from the dye of & black silk stocking, and resulted from the umulation of pus. His condition im- nel pro grew worse and Dr. J. B. Murphy, the Chi- cago speclalist, was sent for, a consultation being held the next day. At that time a slight gangrenous condition was dis- covered and an operation was found nec- esssary, removing a portion of one toe. The wound healed well and the physiclans were hopetul of the outcome. However, on November 11 kidney trouble became appar- ent, both nephritis and dlabetes, compli- cating the case and making his condition more critical. Another consultation with Dr. Murphy was held on November 13, Stop Talking Listen, while we tell {)ou something about your hair.

Dr. Murphy has been sanguine of the senator's recovery up to this time, but upon the discovery of the fresh complications he privately expressed the opinion that the case was hopeless. Since then the patient has steadily grown worse. While some days showed slight improvement and buoyed up the sinking hopes of the family and triends, the disense made constant progress and it soon became only a question of days or hours until death ensued.. Throughout the last week of his fliness the senator suffercd little pain from his Injured foot, which was healing nicely. His strength was kept up with stimulants, but the failure of his ki to act left his s tem Impregnated with poison which, in his enfeebled condition, he was unable to with- stand. It became daily more difficult to in- duce him to take nourishment and stimu- lents and his strength gradually ebbed away. His delirium lasted nearly a week and this morning he sank into uncon- sclousness which lasted until death brought bim relfef Senator Frye, president pro tem of the United States senate, has been notified of the senator's death and his wishes with reference to the funeral arrangements will bo complied with. Governor Lind sald to- night that all the state bulldings would be closed tomorrow and flags displayed at balf-mast out of respect to the senator's memory, and that the customary period of mourning would be observed. Further than this, the governor was unable, tonight, to state what would be done by the state of Minnesota, to honor her distinguished son. After consulting with the senator's family tomorrow, the governor very prob- ably, will issue a proclamation for the observance of such memorial services as may be determined upon. Mayor Robert A. Smith will issue a proclamation calling upon the citizens generally, to display em- blems of mourning for the loss of their eminent fellow towsman, Faneral Committee Named.

Paul's Cathedral, MANY DISTINGUISHED ADMIRERS PRESENT Services Have All Ceremony that Might Attend Ob uies of Member of the Royal Family, the Pomp and LONDON, Nov. 27.—With all the pomp | and ceremony which might have attended | the obsequies of a member of the roval family the remains of Sir Arthur 8. Sulll- van, who died here Thursday last, were in- terred in St. Paul's cathedral today. Long before the hour fixed for the first portion of the services in the Chapel Royal immense crowds assembled in the vicinity of the late residence of the deccased and | St. James' palace, while every point of vantage around St. Paul's was taken up hours prior to the arrival of the cortege. | The immense crowds lining the route | traversed by the procession testified to the | widespread sympathy of the public, while both the Chapel Royal and St. Paul's were fllled to their capacity with privileged ticket holders. The queen, Emperor Wil- | ltam of Germany, the prince of Wales and other royalties were represented, while the musical and dramatic world attended in large numbers. The presence of Josoph H Choate, the United States ambassador, and other diplomats and numerous Americans, including the countess of Essex and Mrs. tonalds, testified to the international posi- tion held by the dead composer. Tho coffin was embedded in magnificent floral tributes, sent from far and near, in such numbers that they filled four hearses. ist of Pallbearcrs. At the entrance of the chapel, in Ambas- sadors’ court, the body was met by the pall- bearers, Sir Squire Bancroft-Bancroft, the actor-manager; Sir Frederick Bridge, the organist of Westminster abbey; Sir Alexan- der Campbell Mackenzie, principal of the Royal Academy of Music; Sir George Henry Lewls, the well known lawyer; Sir John Stalner, inspector of music to the Educa- tion department; Sir George Clement ( tin, organist of St. Paul's cathedral; Lieu- tenant Colonel Arthur Collins, gentleman usher to the queen, and Francols Collfer, the composer. Tho clergy and tho full cholr of the | Chapel Royal were attired In their historic | robes of scarlet and gold and the remains were borne up the aisle of the effectively draped chapel behind the cholr, chanting | tho plaintive opening. verses of the burial | service. The whole service was most im- pressive and the anthems were especlally | mournful. The audience displayed deep | emotlon as the stralns of the anthem, “Yea, Though I Walk,” from Sullivan's “Light of | the World,” resounded through the sacred edifice. The preliminary service ended, the pro- cosslon reformed and proceeded to St. Paul's cathedral, along Pall Mall, the Thames em- bankment and Ludgate hill. Large crowds gathered and the men took off their hats as the hearse passed. St. Paul's cathedral was crowded and dur- ing the long walt the band of the Scot Guards played Chopin's and Beethoven's dead marches, while from the organ pealed Mendelssohn's tribute to the dead. On the broad steps of the cathedral the dean and chapter of St. Paul's and the white-robed ctcristers, surrounded by thu- sands of spectators, met the procession. As the great doors flew open the sunlight streamed in and the volces of the chofr, strong and sweet, broke the solemn silence which had prevailed up to that time throughout the cathedral. In a coffin, al- most hidden beneath wreaths of flowers, the remains were borne up the aisle until they reached the chancel steps, directly be- neath the dome. There a catafalque had heen erected, on the edge of a narrow ope- ing which led to the crypt. Inscription at the Grave, Around tho opening this {nscription. was worked in flowers: “Hls sun has gone down while it was yet day." After the mourners, who had come from the chapel royal, were seated the dean commenced the service. Sir John Stainer led the cholr in singing another selection from “The Light of the World.” Arch- Deacon Sinclair read the latter part of the servico and then the coffin was lowered into the crypt, the silence being only broken by the sobbing of a few women The benediction was given by the dean and then there occurred what has never before been heard in St Paul's. Fifty women, all dressed in the deepest black, and the same number of men, gathered ncar the cofin, arose from their knees. They were tho chorus of the Savoy theater. In quaver- ing, trembling tones they commenced to sing Sulllvan's “‘Brother Thou Art Gone Before Us" A great hush fell on the crowds that had started to leave the build- | ing. Gathering courage, the women's volces swelled out until every corner of the vast cathedral reechoed this sad requiem from those who had o often sung the lighter lyrics of the composer they then mourned. As this died away the organ took up the majestic strains of the dead march from “Saul,” the choir, clergy and inourners fled out and one of the most impressive national funerals held in England came to an end. The vault containing the remains of Sir Arthur Sullivan Is situated In the extreme eastern corner of the crypt, close to the tomb of Dr. Boyce, the famous writer of church music of the last century.

The strong point of the old.fashioned training was the stress laid upon moral- ity and virtue, “Be good and you'll be happy,” was the commion precept set before the growing child, But as the girl grew up to maidenhood she was often sorely puzzled to reconcile those past teachings with her present condi- tion. She was good. Her soul was pure as the lillies of her garden, Her peart was undefiled. And yet she was desperatly unhappy by reason of physi- cal ailments common to women, This was the weak side of old. fashioned training: It ignored the necds and requirements of the body. All its effort was to guide the heart and mind. The body might stumble along anyhow, and it generaily did, ["Many a_sweet-faced, modest-minded young girl has had her first doubts of the goodness of Providence come in through the door of physical suffering. “Why must I suffer in this way?" she asks, “Why does my back ache, my head throb and my side pain, so that I am fain to creep IWI{ into a darkened room and forego the pleasures which belong to my season of life?” NO ANSWER COMES #s a rule to these questions. The young woman looks arcund and eees scores of similar sufferers, She is told it is a part of the burden laid upon wouien, and she sha her shoulders to her heavy load. This i all & mistake. Proper train- ing, proper physical care would man: times prevent these miserable condi- tions. Dut in any case, however dis- tressing the present condition, it can be cured by the'use of Dr. Pierce's Favor- ite Prescription, if it is a disease curable by medicine, “I write a few lines to thank you for your advice and firnml remedies, to which I owe my health, and perhaps my life,” says Miss Flora I. Greer, of 107 Howe Street, Akron, Ohio. "M trouble started during sy childhood, but did not prove serious until 1893, when I met with an accident caused by @ horse running away. From that time 1 did not see a well'day. I suffered at every monthly peri with terrible headache, irritation of the spine and pains in my heels so I could not bear them resting on the softest pillow. What I suffered pen could never de- scribe. 1 had soremess through my hips and ovaries all the time and con- stant backache, Was afraid to be alone, imagined that every one hated me, and everything looked™ like a mountain. One’ doctor would tell me one thing ailed me, another would say something altogether different, but they only re lieved me.

If you are sick it will almost surely bring health toyou. In all the hundreds of thou- sands who have used “Favorite Pre- scription” for womanly ills, only two in_every hundred have failed of a perfect and permanent cure, And even these two in every hundred have been bene- fited, their pains eased, their burdens lightened, their lives made' happler. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription establishes regulanity, dries enfee- ling and unhealthy drains, heals inflamma- tion and ulceration and cures female weakness, From the first change of life, when the .irl‘ebe- comes a woman to the last change of life it {sa “Godsend to women” a preservative of health and a cure for womanly| ills, “Your letter just t&l ceived,” writes Miss Rose Kilfether, of 43 West| Sharpnack St., German- town, Philadeiphia, Pa. “Words fail to express how thankful I am to you | for your advice. I must: confess that for the length of time I have been using your medicine I have found it to be the most wonderful and best remedy for female troubles that | I ever have tried. Sorry I did not know of your ‘Favorite Prescription’ years ago, but will gladly tell my riends who are suffering, of your wone | derful medicine.” There is no alohol in “ Favorite Pres scription” and it is entirely free from opiuni, cocaine and all other narcotics, Sick and ailing women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, fiee. All correspondence held s sacred and womianly confidences guarded by the same strict pro'ehionl? privacy which is observed 'in the personal cousulta- tions of Dr. Pierce and his staff (num- bering nearly a score of physicians) at the Invalids' Hotel and “Sury Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. V. It sometimes hnpgem that the dealer tempted by the little more profit paid by less successful preparations, will try to press a substitute upon the customer, claiming that “it is just as good as Pierce’s.” It is well to remember at such a time, that the claims of superi- ority made for Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription do not rest on mere words, but upon cures. Thousands of weak women made strong and sick women made well testify to its superiority over other put-up medicines for women. THE BIBLE OF THE BODY, is a title which has been aptly applied to Dr. Pierce's Common Sense L}’c?liul Adviser.
