Charles H. Van Wyck

     EX-SENATOR VAN WYCK DEAD
   Could Not Rally from a Second Stroke
            of Paralysis.
  WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.--Ex-United States
Senator Charles H. Van Wyck, who Mon-
day afternoon last suffered a second stroke
of paralysis, died about 5 o'clock this aft-
ernoon.
 Owing to the advanced age of Mr. Van
Wyck, and the fact that it has been but
three years since he was stricken down in
a similar way on his farm near Nebraska
City, it was hardly thought that he had any
chance to recover from the second attack,
notwithstanding that for the past two years
he had been in comparably good health.
The attack of Monday last was altogether
without premonition and happened while
the ex-Senator was apparently feeling in
unusually good health and spirits, and just
as he was about to partake of luncheon
in company with his wife and daughter.
 Mrs. Van Wyck and her daughter, as-
sisted by a nurse, were constantly in at-
tendance upon him, and though he was in
a state of semi-consciousness since he was
stricken, they at times were buoyed up
with a feeling that some slight improve-
ment in his condition manifested itself.
These hopes were, however, completely
dispelled today, when it appeared evident
that he was sinking rapidly, and just a
short time before sunset he breathed his
last. There will be no funeral services
here. The body will be taken to Milford,
Penn., to-morrow night at 10 o'clock for
interment. There three of his children are
buried.
