JEFFERSON DE
AD
FAMOUS ACTOR PASSES AWAY
IN FLORIDA
EVENT WAS N0T UNEXPECTED
Body to Be Taken to Buzards Bay
Mass for Burial Nation Will
Mourn the Loss of a Widely Known
Actor
WEST PALM BEACH Pla Jo
seph Jefferson the eminent actor
died at his home The Reefs at
Palm Beach at G15 Sunday evening
The end came after a day of uncon
sciousness and after a heroic struggle
of days which had exhausted his vit
ality At his deathbed were his wife
his sons Charles B and Frank Jef
ferson his nurse Miss Mabel Bing
ham Dr R B Potter and his faith
ful old servant Carl Kettler
The end was not a surprise to his
family Ever since his last sinking
spell which came after a rally on
Thursday morning and was followed
by an apparent improvement until
Friday the family has been waiting
for the end Mr Jeffersons condition
Saturday night grew steadily worse
and the family which had retired was
summoned and Dr Porter called The
patients condition continued to grow
worse all through Sunday and the
brief bulletins from the bedside con
tained no words of encouragement
The sickness of Mr Jefferson
which ended in his death -fats con
tracted it is believed while on a
recent vist to his son Charles B Jef
ferson at Hobe Sound a few miles
above Palm Beach where he went to
meet his friend former President
Cleveland It is believed that from a
slight indiscretion in his eating he
suffered an attack of indigestion
Since his return to his home his con
dition grew worse with slight rallies
until the end
The body of Mr Jefferson will be
taken to Buzzards Bay Mass leaving
here Monday afternoon accompanied
by all his family who are here It will
reach New York Wednesday
It was on April 1 that Mr Jefferson
went to Hobe Sound to meet Mr
Cleveland and other friends at the
home of his son Charles B Jefferson
The party spent about a week there
and during that time there were fre
quent fishing expeditions During that
time Mr Jefferson appeared active
but as he had been resting at his
home at Palm Beach and had almost
recovered his strength from the ill
ness which pulled him down last
spring he was over confident and
over exerted himself It was at a sup
per there one night when he ate
something which it is thought brought
on the attack of indigestion When
Mr Jefferson became ill he returned
at once to The Reefs and was taken
to his room on the second floor of the
cottage which is only 100 feet from
the ocean where he could watch the
sea The weather was favorable
throughout his illness Dr Porter the
family physician at the Florida home
lived three miles from The Reefs -and
went occasionally to the bedside of
his patient feeling that his patient
might survive But when the first
critical period occurred he spent
most of his time there and called Dr
Worley a specialist of St Augustine
for a consultation Dr Worley went
to Palm Beach arriving there last
Monday and leaving there the follow
ing Monday thinking that Mr Jeffer
son might recover It was the heroic
fight the veteran actor was making
against death and his great determin
ation to survive in order that he
could reach his northern home that
resulted in the few temporary changes
for the better

MUST STAY OUTSIDE LIMIT
Rule That Will Apply to Rojestven
skys Squadron
ST PETERSBURG The Associat
ed Press is informed that no repre
sentations have been made to Russia
through the French embassy here on
the subject of Admiral Rojestvenskys
stay at Kamranh bay There is no
direct telegraph line to Kamranh bay
and the fact of a violation of neutral
ity would have to be established be
fore any definite response could be
given to Japanese or French repre
sentations on the subject made to
Russia Admiral Fe Jonquieres the
French naval commander at Saigon
has already sailed from there for the
purpose of investigating the matter
The following statement on the sub
ject was made If Rojestvensky is
still at Kamranh bay or contemplates
remaining there until Nebogatoff joins
his ships he will remain outside the
three mile limit as he did during the
long stay off Madagascar Naturally
Japan will file a caveat just as she
would file one with the United States
if Rojestvensky should approach the
Philippines Japans protest is in the
nature of a warning The facts yet re
main to be established
LIFE SHORTER IN AMERICA
German Doctor Compares Longevity
of Germans and Americans
WIESBADEN Americans are
shorter lived than Germans was the
conclusion reached by Dr B Laquer
in his paper on social hygiene in the
United States submitted to the Inter
national Congress of Medicine now in
session here
Although more temperate in the
use of alcohol than the Germans and
working an average of 10 per cent
shorter hours the Americans are
said Dr Laquer exhausted earlier in
life
The doctor gave these figures for
each thousand of the population The
number of persons from 50 to GO
years of age are in Germany 179 in
America 170 persons over SO in
Germany 7S in America G5
Dr Laquer did not undertake to
explain the facts He simply gave
them as the result of inquiries which
he made during a visit to the United
States in 1904
AUTOMOBILE INSPECTION CAR
Can Travel 100 Miles on Three Gal
lons of Gasoline
ST PAUL Minn A practical test
of the railroad automobile as an in
specton car has been made by Assist
ant General Superintendent Brown of
the Great Northern road Chief En
gineer Davis Superintendent Jenks of
the roads northern division and Di
vision Roadmaster Lockland Thev
traversed the northern division with
a car which is now in the St Paul
union depot yards The new means
of transportation enables the inspect
ors to view the tracks and roadbeds
at close range to vary the speed of
the car on short notice and to look
with equal ease in all directions
So satisfactory was the test that
Assistant Superintendent Brown wili
henceworth use the car during all his
inspection trips Four persons can be
accommodated on the car It can make
much more than thirty miles an hour
although that rate is considered best
for practical purposes It can travel
100 miles on three gallons of gasoline
No News of Russian Fleet
LONDON Beyond the report that
from Kamranh bay the Russian sec
ond Pacific squadron proceeded
northward there is no further news
of any kind nor confirmation of the
reported firing off Kamranh bay
There have been rumors recently that
a portion of Rojestvenskys squadron
was at Hainan near the promontory
of Liencham If these rumors are
true it is supposed the whole squad
ron may reassemble there and en
deavor in Chinese waters to continue
coaling
ENATOR IS DEAD
PLATT OF CONNECTICUT PASSES
AWAY SUDDENLY
WAS LONG INJUJBLIC AFFAIRS
A Man Peculiarly Representative of
New England Ideas Funeral Will
Probably Be Held on Tuesday April
25th
WASHINGTON Conn United
States Senator Orville Hitchcock
Piatt of Connecticut died at his sum
mer home in this his native town at
853 Friday night from pneumonia
The end came almost unexpectedly
the immediate cause being the break
ing of the abscess which had foimed
in the right lung and which produced
strangulation Only a few minutes be
fore Dr Ford the family physician
had prepared a bulletin from the sick
room to the effect that if the patient
did not have another sinking spell
such as had come to him during the
forenoon he would probably live
through the night
The funeral will probably be held
next Tuesday though the date has
not been conclusively fixed
By both temperament and feeling
Senator Piatt was peculiarly the rep
resentative of New England ideas and
of the old Puritan integrity and con
science
Senator Piatts last public utterance
was at the state capitol on March 21
when before the general assembly he
delivered the eulogy over General
Hawley whose body lay in state in
the corridor below He spoke as if
from a heart that was overflowing
with grief and in words that touched
deeply all who heard him telling of
the personal side of his long relations
with General Hawley rather than of
the political battles they had fought
with varying fortune for the party to
which they both had life long adher
ence At the time it was noticed that
Senator Piatt seemed to be of impair
ed health and this was attributed to
his arduous labors in the senate and
added responsibilities thrown on him
by the recent death of Senator Hoar
Senator Piatt succeeded Senator
Hoar after the latters death as chair
man of the judiciary committee of the
United States senate Later he was
made chairman of the special commit
tee of the senate appointed to conduct
the Swayne impeachment trial and
this was followed by his appointment
as presiding officer of the senate sit
ting as a court during the impeach
ment trial That was his last high
public duty before returning to his na
tive state to assist in paying honor to
the memory of his late colleague in
the senate General Hawley
He was elected to the senate in
1890 to succeed Senator W H Bar
num a democrat who had been elect
ed to the Aacancy caused by the death
of Senator Orris Ferris His last re
election was in 1903
Senator Piatt was born here July
19 1827 and was nearly 78 years of
age
NINE PENSION EXAMINERS OUT
Resignations Called for by Commis
sioner Warner Are Accepted
WASHINGTON Nine of the ten
pension examiners constituting the
Board of Review were separated from
the government service Commission
er of Pensions Warner referred the
the nine resignations to Secrotary
Hitchcock with the recommendation
that they be accepted and Mr Hitch
cock took the desired action without
delay The resigned examiners assert
that representation were made to
them purporting to come from the
commissioner that should they hand
in their resignations matters would be
relieved and restorations would be
made at some date in the near future
Commissioner Warner however made
no such representation to the secre
tary The difficulty involving the
Board of Review was its approval of
several pensions to applicants whose
only claim was enlistment in a Penn
sylvania and a New Jersey regiment
of volunteers for service in the civil
war but the services of whom were
never availed of by the government

of condolence and expressive of his
grief over the death of United States

Dyspepsia of Women
ABSOLUTELY HEEDLESS AGONY
Caused by Uterlno Disorders and Cured by
Lydia E PInknams Vegetable Compound
A great many women suffer with a
form of indigestion or dyspepsia which
does not seem to yield to ordinary treat
ment While the symptoms seem to b
similar to those of ordinary indiges
tion yet the medicines universally pre
scribed do not seem to restore the pa
tients normal condition
1 Mrs M Might
Mrs Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by
derangement of the female organism
and which while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic
but has peculiar uterine tonic effects
also
As proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs Maggie
Wright Brooklyn N Y who was
completely cured by Lydia E Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing elbe had failed She writes
For two years I suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system that I
was unable to attend to my daily duties I
felt weak and nervous and nothing that late
tasted good and it caused u disturbance in my
stomach I tried different dyspepsia cures
but nothing seemed to lieln me I was ad
vised to give- Lydia E Fmldiams Vegetable
Compound a trial and was happily surprised
to firrl that it acted like a lino tonic and in a
fewdays I begantto enjoy and properly digest
my food My recovery was rapid and ht
five weeks I was a well woman I have rec
ommended it to many suffering women
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali
fied endorseraentor has such a record of
cures of female troubles as has Lydia
E Pinkhams Vegetable Compound
