The angry river wa-s as dear as the current, of his own roused blood, and he longed to test the ureat strength of his splendid body or find a probb in for his crowding thought?.

DAHTKL woi.sky vookhk.kS. friends, therefore, had cotnc to expect that they might bear of hi death suddenly. The last reports of him. however, were that he was showing some signs of improvement, and his death, therefore, while not entirely uti.-x-pected. came with the suddenness of a shook.

At the time of his retirement from I the senate, the "Tall Sycamore of the Wubash." as he -. as affectionately j

cailed by his devoted followers in the H.sisier state, was the ranking democrat on the finance committee, and by virtue of this position the nominal leader, at least, of his party on the floor of the senate on tariff and financial questions. He was not very active, however, owing to his ill health, in tbe work on the Wilson tariff bill, most of the numerous senate amendments to

this bill and ita final passage after a Stormy career in which it was in seri- 1 ous danger several times, being due to

benator Jones, of Arkansas. In the repeal of the Sherman silver law the Roosicr senator, however, took a very prominent part. It was his last Important work in the senate, aud the final accomplishment of the repeal was Ina largely to the effective support he rendered to the Cleveland administration, which had made the rejeal one of It chief purposes. The finance committee at this time was almost evenly divided on the financial question, aud the balance of power iu the committee lay practically with Mr. Vvorhees. Mr. Yoorhees' death was caused by an attack of angina pectoris. His health was so poor during the recent political campaign that he could not participate in it. hut after his return to Washington, in November, he seemed to improve in health. Two weeks ago the old rheumatic troubles returned and three days ago his symptoms became alarming, but the extenator did uot confine himself to his bed. and his family felt no immediate alarm. It was not. indeed, until half an hour before the final summons came that anyone realised death was near. The ex-senator's son, Heese V Yoorhees, had remained iu tbe room with his father during the night, and was awakened atout four o'clock by his father, who was then suffering grea pain i' ic regiou of tilt heart, lie refused, however, to allow s physician t- Ik; called, saying the pain would pass away. Half an hour later he appeared much ls-tter ami got nut of lcd to walk to the bathroom.

his son being with him. When they filtered tht; hallway the ex-senator was attacked by a more severe spasm than he had yet experienced and fell in a semi-conscious condition into his son's arms. The latter carried the now dying man back to bis bed aud summoned Dr. Shoup, a neighboring physician. It w as too late, however, for any aid to be of avafl, and the ex-senator soon passed away without regaining full consciousness. Only his sou. Heese his daughter. Miss HalHe Yoorhees. and the physicians were present w hen he died. The remains w ill be taken to Terre Haute. ln.L, the c senator's home for ao many years, for intcrincut, but just when Is not yet determined. The time will depend ujs.n the word received from his eldest son. Hon. Charles Yoorhees. who resides in the state of Washington. The ex-vuator is survived by three sous, Charles, Reese N., and James I'-aton. and one daughter. Mias Halite, all of whom, except the firstnamed, reside in Washington. When the newi of ex-Senator Voorbees' death became known at the capiitol. expressions of deep sorrow were heard. Mr. Yoorhees had I.e. n ao long in public life that he was known to every employe alxiut the building, and all felt an affeetiotiate regard for him because of his uniformly kind treatment of them. It waa generally remarked as fitting that ex-Senator Voorhees should have died, as he did. within a stone' throw of the new congressional library building, and as particularly sail that he had not lived to witness the opening of this institution, which is soon to take place.

He hal intnsluced the first reaolurdoa looking to the erection of ' this building, and had watched it rise from the foundation stones, with sll the pride of a creator. 1 It will stand in large part a monument to the Indiana senator's memory. Mr. Yistrhees was Trt years of age last 8eptcinler, and prior to his rctiaeincnt from public life, on March 4 last had been for many years one of the most ' picturesque figure in tha senate.. 1
