Bixby's Hotel, in New York. His death
was not caused, directly, at least, by IN
temperance he died of serious effusion
of the chest and abdomen. He was con-
scious to the last, died resigned to his fate,
and his funeral was attended hy an i'm

personages of the city. He was buried
in the 'Strangers vault" at St. Paul's /:

Kean came to America, he lied. with

turned the bishop, but / hardly knew
how we could find place inside the
