HEARST PASSES AWAY. THE MILLIONAIRE STATESMAN IS NO MORE. His Long and Painful Illness—Short Story oPHb Life—His Mining Adventures, and Rapid Rise from Obscurity. Senator George IleaYst. of California, died at his residence on New Hampshire avenue in this city, says a Washington, D. C., special. He had been ill for a long time, and in December last went tc New York City to consult with Dr. Charles WarJ. in regard to his condition. The physicuHi found that he was afflicted with a complication of diseases, and resulting primarily from a Serious derangement of the bowels. Acting upon the physician's advice he returned to his family jn this city, and yielded himself entirely to medical treatment. Absolute, quiet and rest was strictly enjoined, and his official duties were lightened as much as possible. Notwithstanding the fact that he received the benefit of the most careful nursing and the most skillful bkML medical attention, a steady and uninterrupted decline was observed, and it was weeks ago that his vail- was a hopeless one. The remains will be taken to San Francisco for interment. George Hearst was born in Franklin County, Mo., Sept. 3. IS2<». His father had gone to that State from North Carolina ,in 1819. The son received only such a limited education as the common schools afforded in that day. He worked on his father’s farm until is.xo, when-tre ea,uglit tiie gold fever ami went to California.* For several years he was a miner and prospector, and subsequently by location and purchase, he became the ownerof valuable mining interests and a large employer, having at one time as many as 29 (‘0 men at work in his mines alone and operating quartz mills that eruslu d 1,000 tons of ore prr day. The increase of his wealth was steady und rapid, and for some years past his incbm - has been something like SROOO per day. He has been for a long time ,-hie’f partner in the mining firm of Hearst. Haggin. Lewis X- Co. He owned above 4PJ'6o acr< s of land in San Luis ,Obis-poj County, California, a ranch of 160,000 aeresof grazing land in eld Mexico, stocked with’ a very large h'-rd of cattle, and a tine stable of thoroughbred horses He was also interested in a large tract of land near Aera Cruz. and in railroad building in Mexico. His foriune at the time of his death was-es-timated at 820,600,000. Senator Hearst leaves a widow and but one child. William R. Hearst, proprietor of the San Francisco E.romim r. Mr. Hearst was in person tall and slender, with blue eyes and long, gray beard. He was a type of the old California pioneer. He was warnvhearted, Impulsive, and generous, popular with his associates in the Senate, and had many devoted friends. The following tribute to the late Senator is from the pen of a well-known Californian:

“For thirty years or more George llea st has been one of the vital men of the West, one of the individual forces which have .inspired and given direction to that quick and vast development of its resources which is one of the material miracles of the century. But it -is not as the mining expert, the’organizer of gigantic enterprises, or the possessor of a great fortune 3 that he will be in,burned. It is not an obituary commonplace, but the simple truth to say that his death'will bring, sorrow to thousands of hearts. Change of fortune’ made no change in the man. As a Senator of the United States he was the same simple, unaffected, clear-headed, warm-hearted George Hearst, who mined on the Feather and Yuba Rivers in the fifties, and took his share of the rough, free life of the claims and cabins To the thousands of the comrades who knew him he remained always as a comrade. Ostentation was abhorrent to a man formed on his rugged lipes, and it will never be known how many successful men owe their beginnings to him or how many broken lives were made easier to live because of his hidden, helping hand. To hundreds upon hundred of the associates and even the acquaintances of pioneer times he was a good providence. “Because he was so thorough a CaTifornian .Mr. Hearst was held in affection by ail Californi.ths. whose experience reached back to the days when railroads 'and the sharp competition of commercial life were unknown on the coast. His years of hard work and intimate mingling with men of every social and intellectual grade nave him a knowledge of human nature and a sympathy with its defects and weaknesses which kept him free from the pride of purse and hardness of feeling that sometimes go with the riches of the self-made man, triad' while he had a singularly keen perception of character, ami a shrewdness that bailied all pretenders, his heart was.tender. his. charity great, and his cat aeity for forgivenp-s inexhaustible. “His death is a serious public loss not only to California but to the entire Pacific coast, and peculiarly to the miners, whose special friend and advocate he was. In the death of George Hearst a strong man, an able man, a good, and very humble man has been taken away. He hajl =a manly, a gentle, and a loving heart. There will be moist eyes in thousands of Western homes., grand and humble, at the news of his death, and the sorrow will not.be least in the cabins dotting the canyonsand streams of the Sierras. ” - For Sober Thought. The mind may be so exclusively exercised in one line of thought that it is not even able to pursue that line. intelligently: for everything to be thoroughly known must be seen in its relations jcc other things. He who studies nothing but law is not the best lawyer; nor is he who understands nothing but business th(‘ best Taisiness man. Even for the success of a single pursuit, or in the search for one kind of truth, the mental faculties musjt reach out intoother fields of thought and jnquiry. Fi:om self-respect a thousand othei things arc derived—such as the care ol the person, of the language, of manners; watchfulness over the body and over the soul; dominion over the instincts atp», the passions; the effort to be self-suffi-cient: the pride which will accept nc favor: carefulness not to expose one’l self to any humiliation or mortification, and to maintain one s self independent of any hutpan < a price; the constant protection of one’s honor and of one’s own good fame.

Coflbe. First found in the heated, forests of Abyssinia, beneath the tropic sun of Africa, coffee was not known to the world beyond till about 400 years ago. Thence a learned mufti brought it forth from its seclusion of centuries, and introduced it to his companion dervishes. 'lt spread to Mecca about 1500, and Constantinople fifty years later, though the followers of Mohommed were forbidden to use it for a long time. A hundred years later it reached London, but twenty years more elapsed before it came into use in France. Its cultivation was then confined to a small Arabian province, but its high value induced the Dutch to introduce it into Java, in 1690, and as a rare plant into the botanical gardens of Amsterdam. The New World obtained its supply from a single plant, which a French naval officer carried to Martinique, in the West Indies, in 17'20, depriving' himself of water, when parching with thirst, that the tender shoot might survive. From this one tree, it is said, all the American tropical colony obtained their seed, which has multiplied to such an extent that Brazil, the West Indies and Mexico supply ns with aS much as Java and Geylon. These are at present the great coffee countries, the product of Mocha, though most delicious, being smalllin quantity. The tree naturally attains a height of about twenty feet, but in the plantations is pruned down to eight ox ten. forming with its straighr. horizontal branches a beautiful domt'-s’iap.'d nfiasS of green. The leaves are broad and glossy green, sometimes concealing tiie “berries,” or fruit, which cluster along the slender twigs and blanches. The coffee is shaped like a small bean, and two of these beans are fouyd side by side, adhering by their flat surface, inclosed in a pulp covered by an outside skin, forming a berry the size of a cherry. This is at first green, but ripens into a bright red when it is gathered. A coffee plantation in these upland valleys is one of the most beautiful things out of doors. Wide, straight paths are opened through it, above which are the dark greim cotlee-trees gleaming with berries, or filling the air with perfumed gales from clinids of ’ uowy blossoms. Over a Thousand Miles. The following twenty-four railroad dues cover more than 1.000 miles each: New York Central and Hudson River: Pennsylvania; Denver and Rio Grande: Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe: New York. Laki- Erie, and Western: Illinois Central: Chicago, Rock Island and Pa.citic: East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia: Louisville and Nashville: Lake Shore and Michigan Southern: Chicago and Northwestern; Union Pacific; Northern Pacific: St. Louis and San Francisco: St. Paul.

Fort Wayne and Chicago; Southern Pacific: Richmond, West Point and Terminal. Serious Danger Threatens every man. woman or chili living in a region of country where fever and ague is prevalent, since the germs of malarial disease are inhaled from the air and are swallowed from the water of such a region. Medicinal safeguard is absolutely necessary to nullify this danger. As a means of fortifying and acclimating the system so as to be able to resist the malarial poison, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is incomparably the best and the most popular. Irregularities of the stomach, liver and bowels encourage malaria ; but these are speedily rectified by the Bitters. The functions of digestion and secretion are assisted by its use, and a vigorous as well as regular condition of the system promoted by it. Constitution and physique ate thus defended against the inroads of malaria by this matchless prexeutive, which is also a certain and thorough remedy in the v. orst eases of intermittent and remittent fevers.

His Nibs a TriHe Dense. An amusing story is told in Italy of the ignorance of tiie Sultan of Morocco. Two Spaniard officers lately visiting Foy were received in solemn audience by the Sultan. The presentation was gone through with ail the rules of etiquette. the conversation becoming more familiar, tile Sultan, Muley Ha-saii, said to tiie officers: ‘ : A “YourQueenloves the I’ope?’’ “Very much,” replied the Spaniards. "The Pope, doos he love your Queen?” “Equally so," The Sultan remained for a few moments in silence, then said: “Why does he not m&rry her. then?" To this embarrassing question the officers had no reply.— Philitdelphut Record. SIOO Reward. SIOO.

Thurlow Weed and Bis SweehoarL “When I was working in Cooperstown,” Mr. Weed said, “I and two other young fellows were arrested for insulting some girls while going home from meeting. I was never more innocent of anything in my life, but I had no friends and was threatened with jail. Suddenly a man whom I did not know stepped forward and gave bail for me, and a lawyer whom I had barely seen offered to serve me as counsel. My trial came on and the girls completely exhonorated me from having anything to do with it. A year or two after this I fell in love with Catharine Ostrander, of Cooperstown, and married her, and abetter wife no man ever had. It was ten rears before I found out how I had been defended. Meeting the lawyer in Albany I asked him. ‘Why,’ said he, ‘it was Cahtarine Ostrander's work.’ She had felt rather shy and had not told me in all that time. But the next rear that lawyer was surprised by being nominated and elected Attorney General of the State. Not altogether because he had interceded for me; he was just tin man for the place. I very rarely had a , man elected or appointed to office for reasons personal to myself.”— Rochester Democrat.. Impurtant Warning. Dr. At illiam A. Hammond warns against overheated apartments.

A Lake on Flrew The burning of Moscow is described as “an ocean of flame,” The scene of a burning lake here related must haVe been equal in grandeur to that conflagration, and none the less impressive for being a wonder of nature. Imagine a bonfire four or five square miles in extent. It is said that from one of the chief naphtha wells of Russia the liquid shoots up as from a fountain, and here formed a lake four miles long and one and a quarter wide. „ Its depth is, however, only two feet. This enormous surface of inflammable liquid recently became ignited, and presented an imposing spectacle, the thick, black clouds of smoke being lighted. up by the lurid glare of the central column of flame, which rose to a great height. The smoke and heat were such as to render a nearer approach than 1,000 yards’ distance impracticable. Suitable means for extinguishing the fire were not at hand, and it was feared that the conflagration would spread underground in such a manner as to cause an explosion. This supposition led many inhabitants of the immediate vicinity to remove to a safer distance. The quantity of naphtha on fire was estimated at 4,500,000 cubic feet. The trees and buildings,’within three miles’ distance were covered with thick soot, and this unpleasant deposit appeared on persons’ clothes, and even on the food in the adjacent houses. Not only was the naphtha itself burning. but the earth, which was saturated ■with it. was also oh fire, and ten large establishments, founded at great ex-' penge for the development of the trade in the article, were destroyed.
