Lowrxi, Mass., March 5. Governor Fred
erick T. GreenhalKO died shortly before I
o'clock a. ni. at his residence In this city.
IIo reruslDod uncoiiealous throughout the day
.and his death hud been expeotod mo
taenlarlly, lie Buffered a second stroke of
paral vols at 11.30 p. m. and snnk rapidly un
til 12.44, when he died. Governor Green-
&alge, of Massachusetts, was suddenly"
etrlokenwHU paralysis at Boston ten days
before his death. Ha was at once removed
to his home at Lowell.
I Hon. Frederick T. GreeuhalRa was born at
Lancaster, England. July 19, 1842. ' Twelve
years later his parents moved to Lowell,
Mass., where the young man entered the
public schools and won for himself even in
his youth a good name as a public speaker.
In 1859 he entered Harvard College, and re
mained there until the death of his father,
when he took upon himself the burdens of
carina for the family without having been
graduated. During an interval of teaoblntf
school for a living be studied law. In 1663
he entered the army, and was connected
with the Commissary Department at New
Berne, N. C, In 1865 he was admitted to
praotico at the bar of Middlesex County,
nad three yeara later he began his career
'as a public man, serving in the succeeding
two years in tho Common Council of Low
ell. Xn 1871 he was eleoted a member of
the School Board. Then, in 1880 and 1881,
ho was elected Mayor of Lowell, and fol
lowed this up by being elected to repre
sent his district in Congress in 1888. He
was defeated for a second term. Until
1893 he did work for the Republican
party without Booking office for himself, and
then he was nominated for Governor of
Massachusetts, and eleeis- 5fv larjjs-aia-jority.
This majority he increased during

SOVEBMOB FREDERICK T. GBEENHALGE.
the two succeeding campaigns, and at his
last election he carried Massachusetts by a
larger majority than had been known since
the war.
Harvard gave him his degree of B. A. In
1870, just the same, and at the last reunion
of the class of '63 at Parker's P. T. Green
halge was in the chair. He and E. L. Ktiv
vens, who died In the Civil War, were tl
two most notable debaters in the class. The
traditions of the institute of 1870 are filled
with bouts which Greenhalgo had with other
members of the society.
The history ot Governor Greenhalge's ad
miaistratW contains some elements of ex
ceptional interest, and which served to give
it a disttnet'y courageous and disinterested
character, but perhaps the most portentous
thing in it, in view of what has now hap
pened, is the fact that the Governor's en
gagements averaged 300 a ynar; they
reaohed so high a figure as 330 the first
year that he was in office. In addition to
bis public extra-official appearances within
the commonwealth Governor Greenhalge
represented the State at Chattanooga in Sep
tember and at Atlanta in November, 1895: he
gave an address on John Winthrop before
the New England Society at Brooklyn, N. Y.,
in 1894, having previously delivered a poli
tical address before the Lincoln Club at Del
monlco's in New York City. N .
There is a patbetlo significance in tul kct
that the last official act of Governor Green
halge was his message to the Legislature
on the 24th of February, aonouuclng the
death ot ex-Goveuor Bubiuson.
Mr. Greenhalge was married 1' 1871 to
Isubel Nesmith, whose father, ; onn Ne
smith, was Lieutenant-Governor of Massa
chusetts in 18G2. He and three children,
Frederick B., Harriet Nesmith and Richard
Hpaulding.

Castorla in Dr. Samuel Pitcher's prescription for Infants
and Children. It contains neither Opium, Morphine nor
other Narcotic Huhtanee. It is a harmless substitute

Millions of Mothers. Castorla destroys Worms and allays
fevcrishncss. Castorla prevents vomiting- Sour Curd,
cures Diarrhoea and "Wind Colic. Castoria relieves

Castoria assimilates tho food, regulates the stomach
and bovrels, giving healthy and natural biep. Cas
toria is the Children's Panaceathe Mother's Friend.
Castoria.
"Castorla Is an excellent medicine for chil
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its
good effect upon their children.'
D. G. C. Osgood,
Lowell, Mass.
" Castoria Is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the
real interest of their children, and use Castoria
instead of the various quack nostrums which
are destroying their loved ones, by forcing
opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other
hurtful agents down their throats, thereby
sending them to premature graves."
Dr. J. F. Kincheloe,
Conway, Ark.
j Castoria.
"Castoria Is so well adapted to children that
I recommend it as superior to any prescription
known to me."
H. A. Archer, M. D.,
III So. Oxford St., Brooklyn, N. Y.
"Our physicians In the children's depart
ment have spoken highly of their experi
ence In their outside practice with Castorla
and although we only have among out
medical supplies what is known as regular
products, yet we are free to confess that the
merits of Castoria has won us to look with
favor upon it."
