This Anernoon.
Just before the BULLETIN
went to press yesterday one of its
representatives took pains to in
quire the condition of John T.
Warehouse and found that his
family and employees were more
than hopeful that he would final
ly rally from his long sickness
and recover his health. Two hours
later John T. Waterhouse breath
ed his last in the presence of his
wife only, he having requested the
attendant to be sent out of the
room for few minutes. The i'm
mediate cause Of death was heart
failure, and his end was as pain
less as it was sudden.
Mr.. Warehouse has not been n
well man for nearly a year. His
family and friends have repeated
ly urged upon the necessity of
taking an entire rest from the
cares OF business life, and he was
always promising them to do SO.
It was to enable him to do this
that the position of manager of
the Waterhouse stores was tender
ed to w. G. Weldon and accepted
by him. Then came the cholera
visitation with all its attendant
cares and worriment. Mr.. Water
house as a member of the Board
of Health devoted himself night
and day to the duties of his posi-
ton and the service of the public,
but when it was all over
he was suffering from the
effects of his hard work.
He was again urged to take a rest,
but kept putting it off from time
to time. As the acting President
of the Board of Health during the
absence of the Acknowledgement
he took even greater interest in its
affairs than usual. The trip to
Molokai was a brief respite for
him and he often mentioned
during that trip how much he
enjoyed brief respite from the
cares of business. With the ex-
ception of brief visit to relatives
on Kauai, however, he failed to
take the advice of his friends and
physicians to give up business
entirely for a time and has suf-
fered the penalty.
Some weeks ago he was attack
ed with stomach troubles, accom-
panied with intermittent fever,
but after a time he seemed to
have overcome these troubles and
to be ON the road to recovery
when he took a severe cold
which resulted in conges
ton of the lungs. On Saturday
night he was not expected to live
but on Sunday he was somewhat
better and yesterday morning still
more SO. Just before he died a
4:30 p. m. he claimed of feeling
faint and it is doubtful if he him
self knew if the end was so near
John T. Warehouse was nearly
fifty-fve years of age, having frs
seen the light in Tasmania OF
July 18th, 1S41. He came to Ho
nolulu in 1850 and was educated
