whut time he died, and he is supposed to
have been deud for quite a while before
the authoriticsAcre notified.
Mr. Watm-nr health hud been poor for
some time past, and recently he had a
slight shock of paralysis which slightly
disfigured his face. The medical exam
iner who visited his remains said that
death wns due to heart failure and thut
he hud been dead nn hour nnd a half pre
vious to the time he viewed the body.

Sept. 12. 1820. in Plainfield, Mass.,

ly Biblical commentaries and biographies
of gentlemen of austere life, the only
reading mutter almost thut wus ready to
his hand. His father, who was a man of
New England culture, died when Charles
was 5 years old, and the boy's guardian
designed him for a clerk ami put him to
work in due season in a drug store and
later in a postoflice. The young man
was educated, however, at Hamilton col
lege, being, graduated in 1851, after which
he went to Missouri with a party of sur
veyors for his health, returning to the
east and taking his degree in the law de
partment of the University of Pennsyl
vania in 18511. In the same year he
joined the newly organized Republican
party.
He practiced law in Chicago for a few
yeurs and then came east again to take a
place on the Hartford Press, becoming
later when that paper was absorbed by
The Courunt one of the coed i tors of the
latter with his friend General Joseph R.
Hawley. For many yeurs he was active
on The Courunt, but hud not been lutely,
although one of the chief owners of the
paper, the policy of which he largely
directed.
His career as on author began in 1870
with n series of sketches called "My
Summer In a Garden," which attained
immediate recognition.

were driving one w a steady, reliable, old

and the black horse sulked and refused to
pull. "Whnl'll we do, fa her?" snid the
younper man. "Well," snid the father, 'I
guess we'll hnve to Iny the pad on the old
gray." That homely compliment to women:
"The guy ninre's the belter horse," sug
