The body of Isaac P. Gray, late United States minis ter to Mexico and formerly governor of Indiana, arrived in the Union station at 8 a.m. As the train bearing the re mains polled into the station a minis ter's salnte of 17 guns was fired. The train consisted of a baggage car and a Pullman sleeper. In the center of the baggage car, in the coffin enclosed in a rude box, rested the body of the dead minister. Mrs. Gray and Bayard Gray, her son, arrived in the sleeper. Fully 1,000 people crowded up to the iron rail ings north of the tracts and eyed the train curiously. Inside the railing were train and railroad officials and the offi cers of the Indianapolis Light artillery. As soon as the train came to a halt it vas tfcn in charge by the light artil lery ana a watch, was placed on the fun eral car. There was no attempt to dec orate or drape the car. In the middle of the car, between the two side doors, rested the box containing the coffin. It was almost entirely covered with wreaths and flowers, giving out a strong, pungent odor, and all dead and withered. The body was later removed to Union City. Ind.. for interment. The -j state capitol is elaborately draped in mourning emblems, and many busilfMfc and pnvato houses throughout the city are also draped. The body of the late minister was not in good condition. The head was thrown back in an un natural position, and the face was so black as to be almost unrecognizable. ENDS no LIFE WORK Frederick Douglass flrop3 Dead at His Home Xcar Washington.

Born a Slave lie Vassed Away rail of Tears and Honor, the foremost Col ored Man of the Country End of a Remarkable Career. Washington, Feb. 21. Frederick Douglass, the noted freedman, orator and diplomat, died at his residence m Anacosta, a suburb of this city, of heart failure. His death was entirely unex pected, as he had been enjoying the best of health. During the afternoon he attended the conference of tho women of the United States, now in progress in this cay, and enacted with Susan B. An thony and others of the leading mem bars, vr th whom he has been on in timate terms for many years. When he ritu-iica no.ne lie said nothing of any feeling of illness, though he expressed himself as being a little exhausted from Lthe climb up the stairs leading from the. street to bis house, which is on a high terrace. He sat down and chatted with ihts wife about the women at the convention. Suddenly he gasp ed, clapped his hand to his heart and fell back un conscious. A doc tor was hastily summoned and ar rived within a few moments, but fred pouglass. his efforts to re- . i i . vive .air. uongiass were nopeiess irom the first. Within 20 minutes after the attack the faint motion of the heart ceased entirely. Mr. Douglass leaves two sons and a daughter, the children of his first wife. His second wife, who was a wnite woman, survives him. Sketch of His life. Frederick Douglass was born in Tuck- ahoe, Talbot county, Maryland, in Jjeb ruary, 1817. His mother was a negro slave and his father was a white man. At the age of 10 years he was sent to Baltimore, where he learned to read and write. His owner later allowed him to hire his own time for $3 per week and he was employed in a ship yard. In September, 1833, he lied from Baltimore and made his way to New Yoik. Thence he went to New Bed ford, Mass., where he married and lived for three or four years, supporting him self by day labor on tho wharves and in various workshops. While thero ho changed his name to Douglass. He had previously been called Lloyd, the name of his old master. Iu the summer of 1841 he attended an anfMaverv convention at Nantucket and made a speech that was so well re ceived that he was offered the agency of tho Massachusetts Antislavery society. In this capacity he traveled and lectured through the New England states lor frinr- 'wiik " Liarrre audiences were" at tracted by his graphic descriptions of slavery and his eloquent speeches. At this time he published his first book, en titled "Narrative of My Experience in Slavery." In 1845 he went to Europe and lectured on slavery to enthusiastic audiences in nearly all of the large towns of Great Britain. Iu 184(5 his friends in England raised $750 to pur chase his freedom in due form of law. He rcmainod two years in Great Bri tain and in 1847 began at Rochester, N. Y. tho publication of Frederick Doug, lass' paper, whose titlo was afterward changed to The North Star. In 18j3 he published "My Bondage and My Free dom." Iu 1859 tho John Brown riots took place in Virginia. Ho was sup posed to be implicated in these and Gov ernor Wise made requisition for his ar rest upon the governor of Michigan, iu which state he was then. To avoid dif ficulty Mr. Douglass went to England, where he remained for six or eight mouths. Ho then returned to Roches ter and continued the publication of his paper. When tho civil war broke out he urged upon President Linooln the employment of colored troops and the issuance of a proclamation of emancipa tion. After the abolition of slavery he dis continued the publication of his paper and applied himself to tho preparation and delivery of lyceum lectures. In September, 1870, he became editor of Tho New National Era in Washington, This was afterwards continued by his sons, Lewis and Frederick. In 1871 he was appointed assistant secretary to the commission to San Domingo. On his return President Grant appointed him one of the territorial counsel for the district of Colorado. In 1872 he was elected presidential elector-at-large for tho state of New York and was ap? pointed to carry the electonl vote of the state to Washington. In 1876 he was appointed United States marshal for the District of Columbia. After this he be came recorder of deeds for tho District of Columbia, from which office he was removed by President Cleveland in 1888. In the autumn of that year ho revis ited England to inform the friends he had made whilo a fugitive slave of the progress of the African race in the United States. After his return to the United States he was appointed minis ter to Hayti by President Harrison in 18S9. The Haytien ministry was the last position in the gift of the United States held by Mr. Douglass. In 1892 Hayti made an appropriation of money for the Columbian exposition and ap pointed Mr. Douglass the senior of her two commissioners to the exposition. Since the close of the fair Mr. Douglass has lived quietly in Washington with out engaging in any special business. His wealth is variously estimated at from $100,000 to fSCH.OOO. j NEBRASKA LEGISLATURE. Several Hanking- Bills Recommended For Paasaje It the Hour. Lincoln,, Feb. 21.

I auu Felling Trees by Electricity. Trees are felled by electricity in the great forests of Galicia. For cutting comparatively soft woods the tool is in the form of an auger, which is mounted on a carriage, and is moved to and fro and revolved at the 6ame time by a small electric motor. As the cut deepens, wedges are inserted to prevent the rift from closing, and when the tree is near ly cut through an ax or handsaw is used to finish the work. In this way trees are felled very rapidly and with but little labor. London Tit-Bits. Pnppokoil Train Rnlibrrs ArnRitird. I'IxoaCX. Li., Jl'sVu. 21.

It always oc curs immediately after the full moon of June and at no other time during the year and is said to be a beautiful mirage of some unknown city suspended in the rarefied air directlv over the bay. A Ju neau (Alaska) photographer has taken pictures of it on four different occasions, out so far no one has been able to identi fy a single one of the ghostly buildings outlined on his plates. St. Louis Republic- TRIALS OF A TICKET MAN. He Can Endure All bat the Questions el People Who Never TraTeL A nrominent - Pittsburg passengei agent, in a conversation with a reportei of that city, gave a few interesting fact relative to the everyday experience ol the average city passenger man, which those not directly connected with the business know nothing about. He saidi "It is a singular fact the number ol people who visit our office daily and the curious questions they ask with regard to railroad rates, etc., when very often they have no notion whatever of leaving the city and as a matter of fact have not traveled any worth mentioning. For sis years there has been a very singular char acter who has made an annual visit tc this office. I have.no idea from whence he cometh or whither he goeth, but he always asks the selfsame questions and goes away apparently satisfied with the information ho has received. Ialwayt expect him in the springtime, generally about the 1st of April, when the sun'f rays grow warmer. "Then my quaint old friend comes tc see me. I Bhould judge him to beat least 80 years of age. He is stooped and feeble, with hair as white as snow, but well dressed, wears a silk hat and carriet a cane and talks in a nervous, jerk) manner. He invariably opens up with. What's the rate to Boston? 1 tell him. and his eyes lightburaa he waddles out h always the sBservation. 'Well '! gum, that's cheapftheap!' If theold man would tell his story, it might have a tinge of pity in it Perhaps ho has s son or daughter in the Hub City whom it has been his cherished hope to see for all these years. "The biggest out and out nuisance we have to deal with are persons who come here with no other intention than to col lect all the railroad literature they can. They have no notion of going away, but thay grab everything in sight in the wa of time tables and other information bearing on tourists' points in tho north, east, south and west. They greedily gather pamphlets, circulars and book lets treating on climate and resources. I don't know what these collectors dc with tho Btufi they get here, but some ol them must have a prize assortment. "Then the man who travels from one end of the country to the other is the person who invariably pushes into the office and in a brusk manner asks for a timo table of tho line he is about tc take. It is given him, of course, and without so much as glancing at the schedule it is stuffed into his pocket, and his next question is, 'When does my first train leave?' It never seems to oc cur to him to look on the time table. So it goes. Sometimes people ask me ques tions until I'm afraid the buttons will drop off my coat, but after all we man age to get along with our patrons re markably well." Pittsburg PoBt. A Biblical Conundrum. A good story is told of the horsy son of an English clergyman. He was on aa important occasion to meet the bishop ol Lincoln at dinner, and as it was desir able that a favorable impression should bo made on his lordship his father beg ged he would be favorable to the bishop and do ' his best to draw him out, as he was unusually strong in Biblical lore. During the early part offthe banquet matters, went on well eaagh;-the young man saying little, but watching for an opportunity to open hia full batteries. At length a pause in the general conver sation took place, and while the com pany was all attention he thus addressed tho bishop: "Might I venture to ask your lordship a question relative to a point mentioned in the Old Testament which has puzzled me a good deal? "Oh, certainly quite happy," replied the dignitary, feeling quite in hia ele ment. "Then I should be glad to have your lordship's opinion as to how long it took Nebuchadnezzar to get into condition after he had been out to grass?' Boston Herald. Xervons Singer, The effects of nervousness are varied and amusing, Qne.young mezzo soprano was prevented just in time from walking on to the platform in a huge pair of fur lined overshoes, which were put on above her slippers, and which contrasted com ically with her dainty gown. Another songstress, who was gifted with a good verbal memory, was singing without note. During a rather elaborate symphony preceding the Becond verse of her song she chanced idly to glance at the book of words which 6he was hold ing. Confusion followed. She could not link the melody with the poem. It was a terrible moment, but she stepped swift ly to the piano, glanced at the accom panist s copy anu nmsneu ner song con amorc. It appeared on inspection that by a printer's error two lines of her song had been left out of the book of words. This had confused her and was the cause of her failure to blend words and music together. Atalanta. VORY dOAP The Young Moon. The editor of The Popular Science Monthly takes certain imaginative writ ers to task for their unscientific and ab surd statements regarding "the young moon" and "the crescent moon" and ad vises them to leave it alone, because they so often contrive to get it in the wrong place. In a story which has come under his notice he finds two friends described as sitting out one summer evening look ing over the Thames, and the writer goes on to say, "By this time the young moon had arisen, and its cold light shimmered over the misty river." Such writers are reminded that the young moon goes to bed early and can never be seen in the process of rising. Palmy Day For Cats. The palmy days for. cats were in the times of Egypt's power as a nation, some 500 years B. C. They were held then as eacred as dogs or crocodiles, and death was the penalty for killing them. From their nocturnal habits and glossy fur, the Egyptians deemed them symbolical of the moon, and a golden cat was worshiped at Syene. New York Sun. At the winter paiacg, St. Petersburg, there is a room full of aiamonds, pearls and other precious stones. The empress of Russia is allowed to borrow from this room after giving a receipt for what she takes, and generally the grand duchesses are allowed to borrow from it also.
