Washington. D. C.?The Rot. T. De Witt Talmage, the noted divine, died at his home in this city. It bad been evident for some days that there was do hope of recovery, and the attending physicians so informed the family. The patient gradually grew weaker until life passed away so quietly that even the members of the family, an of whom were watching at the bedside, hardly knew that he had gone. The Immediate cause of death was inflammation of the brain. The last words uttered by Dr. Talmage were on the day preceding the marriage of bis daughter, whea be said, "Of course I know you, Maud." Since then he has been unconscious. Few American clergymen ever enJoyed as wide popularity as the Rev. Dr. T. De Witt Talmnjre. He owed this popularity in part to his forensic skill and In part to his understanding of the themes whcih possessed the. greatest interest of his audiences. Dr. Talmage was born on January 7. 1832, in Bound Brook. X. J. His father, David T. Talmage. was a farmer, and the future clergyman was the youngest of twelve children. He received his early education In a grammar school In New Brunswick, X. J., entering the University of the TIE KIT. D?. TAIJUOB. City of New York when be won nineteen yean old.

His success in Brooklyn was Immediate. He fouud a congregation of thirty-live members. It increased so rapidly that a new cburcb was needed and the First Tabernacle was begun in 1870, a year after his arrival. Fire was discovered in tbe Tabernacle early Sunday morninfe. December 22, 1872. and all attempts to save It were fruitless. Plans were mad* at once for a new structure of brick and stone, with room for G000 per- | sons. It was built, and on January I 22. 1874. It was dedicated. Fire destroyed the new Tabernacle , early on the morning of Sunday. October 13. 1889. Dr. Talmage at once nppealed for $100,000 for a third Tabernacle. He sailed with his family for Palestine in the same month and on his return, while the now j church was being built, preached in ; the Academies of Music in Brooklyn and In New York City.
