Famous Evangelist Died at the
Family Residence in East North
field, Mass., at Noon Today.
East Nortiifield, Mass., Dec. 22.
Dwight L. Moody, tbe famous evangelist,
died at noon today. It was not expected
until yesterday by the members of
Moody's family and his immediate circle
of friends that death wonld be the re
sult of hia illness. The cause of death
was a general breaking down due to
overwork. Moody's heart bad been weak
for, a long time, and tbe exertions put in
connection with the meetings in the
West last month brought on a collapse
from which he failed to rally.
This week the patient showed a steady
gain until yesterday, when he showed
symptoms of nervousness, accompanied
by weakness which caused the family
much anxiety. This morning the weak
ness continued, and at 8 o'clock Mr.
Moody called his wife and children, tell
H them that the end was not far off.
The family remained close by the bed
(lde all the forenoon. The evangelist
was almost free from pain and occasion
ally talked with apparent ease. About
'fie last words he was heard to ntter
were :
"I have always been an. ambitious
man, not to lay up wealth, but to find
work to do."
Just before 12 o'clock, the watchers
w that the end was approaching, and
Rt exactly nnnn tlm crreat nreacher

Company, and a son-in-law of the found

Washington", Dec. 21. Tbe men who
negotiated the French reciprocity treaty
are very much disturbed over the asser
tion in the French chamber of deputies
that France has secured much tbe best
of the bargain. While it is believed that
the claim is put forward for the purpose
of helping the ratification o' the treaty
in France, there ia fear that tbe effect
upon the American congress may be
disastrous. Considerable opposition has
already developed to the reciprocity
treaties and doubt Is expreesed about
the ratification in tbe senate or by-congress
if they are submitted to both
houses.
Silver Speculators at Work.
Persistent attempts are being made to
create hostility to the financial bill
among the Republican senators. These
include the statement that Senator
Allison is not friendly to the words "gold
standard" in the bill, although he voted
to report It to the senate. As far as can
be atcartained, it seems that certain
money gamblers and speculators in silver
bullion are determined to prevent the
passage of the bill, as disturbed financial
conditions constitute their harvests.
But, no matter what they do, they can
riot prevent the bill from passing.
Price of Fish is Climbing.
Astoria, Dec. 21. That fish are in
demand is evidenced by the rise in the
price of eteelheads from 5 cents to 6a
cents per pound, and an advance to eight
cents for chinook salmon. The demand
is growing every day, and it is confident
ly expected by those who are in a posi
tion to know that before the winter sea
son is over the price will reach as high
as fifteen cents per pound.
Sheep to Return to Grazing.
Heppnkr' Or. Dec. 21. Sheepmen had
commenced to feed, but this morning
the light snow which fell Friday night
began melting, and the warm wind will
soon restore graz'ng.
Catarrh Cannot be Cared
with local applications, as they cannot

Is a blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it you must take inter

taken internally, and acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine.
It was was prescribed by ona of the best
physicians in this country for years, and
Is a regular prescription. It is composed
of the best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of the two ingredients Is
what produces such wonderful results in
curing Catarrh, bend for testimonials,

Situation in tbe Philippines Gratifying.
New York, Dec. 25. A Bpecial to tbe
Herald from Washington says: Wash
ington officials are very much gratified
at the existing situation in the (Philip
pines. The insurgent army, which
dominated the northern part of Luzon
island np to November 5, when the
American campaign began, has disap
peared. American garrisons are estab
lished at more important points, pro
moting peace in the surrounding terri
tory, and the general condition has so
Improved thut General Otis considered
It feasible to open all the ports of north
ern La ion to trade.
General Otis will now turn bis atten
tion to the rebels sooth of Manila, and,
It la expected, will begin active opera
tions against them in a few days. Open
ing the important parts of northern
Luzon on January 1 is expected to de
stroy the corner in hernp formed by
certain exporters. ,
Dewey's Birthday.
Washington, Dec. 23. Admiral
George Dewey will be sixty-two years of
age Christmas day, and under the ordi
nary process of law would be placed on
the retired list on that account. The
special law nnder which he advanced to
the head of the navy makes no provision
for his retirement, and therefore he will
continue on the active list of the navy,
in all probability, until his death. As a
matter of fact, his retirement would make
no material change In his existing status.
His pay would be the same on the re
tired list as on the active list, and he
would be entitled to the same emolu
ments and privileges, including a private
secretary, with the rank of lieutenant,
and the usual number of aids.

Law in the Philippines.
8a Francisco, Dec. 25. Judge J. B.
Early, who has been practicing law in
the Philippines, has returned to this
ity on tbe transport Valencia. He said
in an interview :
"There must be a reorganization of the
courts in tbe Philippines before Ameri
cana will have confidence In them. The
udges are Filipinos, and they adjudicate
long the lines of the old SpanUh laws,
hich do not even permit a jury. There
are but two American judges, and they
do not have enough power. Ot course,
there Is an appellate court, but that, too,
Is composed of Filipino judges, nho
now but little of the lttter or the spirit
ot American law,"

Authorities Are Held Responsible for
Half Million Loss Seems That
Otis Was Notified That Spaniards
Intended to Evacuate by a Certain
Date.
Ilo Ilo, Nov. 17. (Correspondence of
the Associated Press.) The taking of
Ilo Ilo is an old story at home, but it is
a very live story here today, because up
on its facts and details hinge claims for
damages to foreigners resulting from the
burning of the city, which amonnt in all
to more than $500,000 in gold. The
foreigners claim that our military au
thorities were responsible for tho burn
ing, and these authorities up to the
present time have ignored the whole
matter.
"Early !n December 1 SOS," said a
prominent business man of Ilo Ilo, "a
circular letter was handed to Major-General
Otis, signed by the foreign merch
ants in Manila, who had branches of
their firms in Ilo Ilo, in which his at
tention was drawn to the danger that
would inevitably result to foreign life
and property if the Americans did not
Immediately send an armed force to Ilo
Ilo to take over possession of the city
from the Spaniards before the latter
left, as it was well known that the Span
ish governor had orders from Spain to
evacuate the city with the least possible
delay. This letter was Ignored by Gen
eral Otis, and American troops did not
arrive in Ilo Ilo until December 28,
four days after the Spaniards had left."
Efforts have been made within the
last month by merchants directly in
terested in this matter of claims to as
certain what the authorities had done,
were doing or contemplated do'ng in
the matter, but it was impossible to
gain any eatisfact'on whatever upon
either of these three points. All these
Ilo Ilo claims are filed with the proper
persons at Manila, and, further, they
have been filed with the respective con
suls of the foreigners interested,
lhrongli this latter channel the matter
will some day come to a hearing, where
upon interesting historical data will be
developed, and the responsibility be
finally fixed.
Kobbed the Grave.
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, Is narrated by him as follows:
"I was in a most dreadful condition. My
skin was almost yellow, eves sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually in back
and sides, no appetite gradually grow
ing weaker day by day. Three physi
cians had given me up. Fortunately,
trlend advised 'Electric Bitters'; and to
my great joy and surprise, tho first
bottle made a decided improvement. I
continued their use for three weeks, and
am now a well man. I know they saved
my life, and robbed the grave of another
victim." No one should fail to try them.
