consented to 20 with Mr. Stuart in the carriage.

was really unable to take food in any form. He
gradually became worse, and failed to recognize
the few intimate friends and rela-
tives who visited him. His daughter
Ida WAS with him night and day. So violent did
he become that it was found necessary to 1e-
move most Of the furniture from the room. 1t
one time he tore the watch presented to
him By the employees Of the Tribune apart.
