CHARLES STEWART PARNELL
that the great Irish member of parlia-
ment had grown thinner, and that he
had perceptibly aged in appearance.
But nobody expected to hear of his
death and no inkling as to his illness
had reached the newspapers.
Very Meager Details.
Not until 10 o'clock, however, was it
possible to obtain details as to the death
of Mr.. Parnell. He died at his home
Walsingham terrace, Brighton, at 11:30
p. m. His death is said to have been in
directly due to a chill which he caught
last week, and which at first was not
regarded as being of serious nature.
Mr.. Parnell, however, grew worse and a
physician was called in, with the result
that tho patient was ordered to take to
his bed. This was on Friday last, and
from that time Mr.. Parnell lost strength
and finally succumbed. The exact
nature of the disease which caused the
death of the Irish leader is not made
known at present. From the day he
took to his bed, however, the state Of
Mr.. Parnell's health has been such as to
necessitate the constant attendance Of
two physicians, but in spite of their in
cessant and untiring efforts to prolong
or to save his life, Mr.. Parnell gradu-
ally sank lower and lower until he ex-
pired in the arms of his wife.
Mrs. Parnell, who has been completely
devoted to her husband, refusing to
leave his bedside for even an hours rest,
is utterly prostrated by the shock, and
her physicians are somewhat apprehen-
sive of her condition.
