widely known for years that the proprietor Of
The Times was an invalid; hut few besides
those nearest him knew the nature and extent
Of his illness. Disabled by severe accident

most intense, to relinquish much OF his accus-
toned labor on The Times, which paper, as is
well known, his genius and energy had prac
tically created. Six years ago, while in Eu-

ther enfeebled him; and in October, 1889,

him. From this he never rallied, and has re.
mained almost wholly helpless ever since.
