DEATH OF GEORGE w. cHILDs.
The Editor rPhilanthropist Passes Peace
fully Away.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 3-George w.
Childs, philanthropist, and proprietor of
the Public Ledger, died at his home, on
Twenty second and Walnut streets, at 3
o'clock this morning. At midnight the
patients pulse was tagging, and he sank
gradually but steadily until death came to
end the long struggle. Mrs. Childs and
Drs. Dacosta, Leidy and Mills We're in the
sick room at the end.
On Thursday, Jan. IS, the sad end was
tary Steele found Mr. Childs stretched
upon the floor in his private office in an
utterly helpless condition. Summoning
Night Editor Sheppard, the two together
quietly lifted the sick man to a couch, and
sGImulants were administered. 1t was
then found that he had been attacked by
vertigo, and that his right arm was hang
ing limp at his side. He had been sitting
in his chair at his desk, reading, when the
stroke fell. Physicians were called and
pronounced his condition serious. They
finally arrived at the belief that blood
vessel had bursted. He lay for days at
time unconscious. AT rare Intervals he
seemed to understand what was going on
around him, and questions were anxiously
addressed to him, but only once or twice
during all his long illness was he able to

side, listening as carefully as they might,
could interpret. On the first day special
lists were called. In hope that they might
be able to arouse the dormant nerves on
the right side, but the hope was not full
filed
The news of Mr. Childs' illness spread
very rapidly, and flood of kilograms of
inquiry and letters OF sympathy began
pouring in on the day he was stricken
down and continued up TO the time of his
death. At no time, however, had there
been confidence of his recovery, and the
shock of the great philanthropist's death
was somewhat broken by his long illness.
One of the physicians who attended Mr..
Childs said this morning that Mr.. Childs
suffered no pain, and that his end was
peace eful. He had been unconscious for
the past three days, except at intervals.
Mr.. Childs' lower limbs were not par
aiyzed AS has been stated. The stroke af
fected only his right side, he having lost
the use of both his right arm and leg.
Mr.. Child's fortune is believed TO be Il
large one, but whether it be 81, 900. 600 or
SIC, 600, 600 is II question that only those in
acquainted with his affairs can
say.

Tonight was the best of the three games.
The house was filled with enthusiastic
billiardists, who appreciated every fine
play and bestowed unstlnted applause i'm
partially on the PLAYERS.
Ives played wonderful game. From
the twelfth to the eighteenth inning he
was rather weak. but amply made up in
the three following innings.
He scored 437 points in the twenty in
nings and, with 163 TO go, finished in the
twenty-tirst, equalling his great run OF
last night, second only to the worlds
record.

Ives found the balls in good position,
and gradually worked them To the lower
