ness all day, and the watchers at his
bedside expected hia death at any
moment. He had been unable to take
any nouriahment since Wednesday
morning.
Yesterday morning he
seemed to give some indication of con­
sciousness by making a alight motion
with his left hand, whiqb was taken to
mean beckoning to his aged wife, whom
he wanted near him constantly. When
she wonld take his hand he would be­
come calm, which waa the only sign of
consciousness. His last moments were
peaceful.
He suffered a stroke of paralysis two
years ago, which occasioned alarm, but
from which he recovered. About three
weeks ago he suffered a second stroke,
from which he never recovered. He
leaves a wife, two aons and one datigh

the funeral services will be held, prob­

Address of the President.
The president’s appeal to the mine
operators and the miners was abort and
to the point. He said in part:
“ I wish to call your attention to the
fact that there are three parties affected
by the aituation in the anthracite trade
— the opeiators, the miners, and the
general public. I speak for neither
the miners nor the operators, but
for the general public.
The ques­
tions at issue which led to the sit­
uation affect immediately the parties
concerned—the operators and the min­
ers; but the situation itself vitally
affects the public.
“ I disclaim any right or duty to in­
