W. Q. GRESHAM DEAD. SECRETARY OF STATE PASSES AWAY IN WASHINGTON. All the Family Present Except Otto, the Son Heroic Life and Character of the Man—He Ilies the Victim of Overwork. End of a Noble Life. Walter Quinton Gresham. Secretary of State, died of pneumonia Tuesday morning at 1:15 o’clock at Cue Arlington Hotel in Washington. All hope of his recovery was practically abandoned when a sinking spell occurred shortly before 6 o’clock Monday evening. The most powerful heart stimulants known to medical science, nitro glycerine and digitalis, were injected periodically, and an infusion of normal saline solution was made through an opened vein in the arm. He recovered slightly, but owing to severe rigors shortly before 11 o’clock he began to fail rapidly, and his vitality began to ebb. The three physicians saw that the end was near, and at 12 o’clock withdrew to the ante-room, leaving in the sick chamber only the members of his family, Mrs. Gresham, her daughter, Mrs. Andrews, and son-in-law.

At 1:15 o’clock his breathing ceased; a peaceful shadow passed over his pale countenance; his pulse flickered, and the sorrowing family were in the presence of death. One of the nurses conveyed the news that the end had come to the physicians in the next room, and they in turn brought it to the watchers in the reception room. President Cleveland was hnmed iat el y not i tied. Pneumonia Causos Death. Pour weeks ago Mr. Gresham was attacked with what was looked upon as a light attack of pleurisy, but it refused to yield to treatment, spread from one lung membrane to the other, and finally det eloped into severe pneumonia. His condition after that time was extremely critical. His heart action became enfeebled, requiring the constant administration of the most powerful heart stimulants. One or the other of his physicians. Dr®. Johnson and Prentiss, or both, were constantly with him. His pulse reached IGO, and was so feeble that it could barely be

counted. Rut for the stimulants, he wou]<j have died. Nitro glycerine and strychnine were given continuously, hypodermically, together with digitalis and whisky. He was able to take no nourishment save in a liquid form—principally milk punches—and the whole effort of the physicians was directed toward sustaining and strengthening him. The right pleurnlic cavity was tilled with the effused fluid, and the lungs compressed so as to make breathing impossible. CABF,K« OF JUDGE GRESHAM. His Father Was Sheriff of an Indiana County. Walter Quinton Gresham was born March 17, 1832, near Lanesville, Harrison ' ounty, Ind. The Greshams are of English ancestry. His father, William Gresham, was sheriff of the county, and was killed in the discharge of his duties when M alter was but two years old. In his boyhood young Gresham did the usual work ot a farmer's son and studied his books at night. His education was gained by the hardest kind of work and self-deninl. Hi went to the district school, and when Im was 16 years old he had an opportuniifc to attend the Corydon Seminary. IH got a clerkship in the county auditor office, and this helped him to pay his boaW and school expenses. After two years a? the academy be spent one year at the Bloomington University. On his return

to Corydon he secured a place in the county clerk’s office. There he studied law under the direction of .Judge William A. I’orter. He was admitted to the bar when 21 years old ami began practice at once, I wo years later he was slumping his district tor John C. Fremont, the first presidential candidate of the Republican party, I with which organization Mr. Gresham had always allied himself until F'92. when ho declared himself a believer in the Democratic party. In 1856 he married Miss Matilda McGrain, a pretty Kentuckian, whose parents moved to Corydon when she was quite young. On the eve of forming a law partnership at Indianapolis, destined to lead to fortune as well as fame, lie read Lincoln’s call to arms and paused in Ms negotiations. The Union was in danger. Republican institutions were <m trial. If such as he placed self before country what would become of the country? Young Gresham grew more ami more serious, ami never having served in the militia passed all his leisure in studying military tactics. His young wife, not yet 22, with n girl baby two months old ami a boy of I 3 tugging nt her skirts, knew what was in I the mind of her young husband, and watched him with fear in her heart. Sum- I ter was tired on in April. The following September Gresham felt that his hour had come. PomonaJly bmvi a bit of a coward when his wife was eoncermsl, I for he knew what a sacrifice she would I make in giving him up to probable death. Gresham commanded a division march ing through Georgia mid wm terribly I wounded at Atlanta. IL- uas carried off the field and conveyed to Nashville by a roundabout way to avoid falling into the hamls of the enemy. Thirty miles of the journey were made in an ambulance. Imagine the agony to the man who had ha<) an inch nnd a half of bong shot away.

He went into the war a I stalwart of 28; he came out avr. ek Six I years later, nt the age of 34. he found

himself lamed for life, with an impaired constitution. Judge Gresham was a candidate for the Republican nomination for President in both 1884 and 1888. In 1888 he received 111 votes on the first ballot; his vote rose to 123 on the third ballot, and then dwindled to 59 on the eighth and last. The People's party in convention at Omaha July, 1892, practically offered Judge Gresham its presidential nomination, which he refused. Judge Gresham was considered the ideal candidate by the Populists because of his lifelong opposition to tyranny, oppression and injustice of any . sort. Judge Gresham’s final departure from the party at whose birth he had assisted came in the last campaign. He announced his intention of voting for Mr. Cleveland in a letter dated Get. 22, 1892, and addressed to Major Bluford Wilson, whe was solicitor of the treasury under Grant After Mr. Cleveland’s election Judgt Gresham was offered the premiership oi the cabinet and accepted. He was ap pointed Secretary of State March 4, 1893

Who Knows What Dingbats Arc? The Boston Journal gives various • theories as to the meaning of the word, > “dingbats.” One writer, who spent Ids > boyhood in Maine, thin’ s it means to J spank, because Ids mother, when getting ready to use the slipper, threat- - ened to put the “dingbats” on him. s From Willrarham Academy comes the * explanation that, it means the break- ? fast biscuit, which the students dispose of by sticking it to the under side of the table, throwing it at the heads of other students, or eating it. A Connecticut pupil states that to receive punishment at the hands of the teacher is known as “getting the dingbats.” Two Philadelphians agreed that it means money, ns In the sentence, “I've got the dingbats for It” Rut New Hampshire agrees witli Maine, that it means spanking, and so the majority appears to side with the maternal slipper. It Is from such “little acorns” that the Util tree of our almost cosmopolitan language has grown. We got “blizzard" from the West, “kuklux” from the South, “boom” from the ambitions cities, “crank” from the eccentric minds In every part of tho country, “pantata" from Italy, “chalitza” from Russia: Dingbats is going to be a great convenience.
