many years. He spent three months
of the present year at Los Angeles and
San Diego in the hopes that that eli
mate would restore his shattered
health. But il was too late. The in
sidious disease had done its work, and
he came home TO die-to have at MS
bedside when his spirit should wing
its fight from its tenement of clay
his good wife and two children, the
ties that bound him TO life. Conscious
that his end was within view ne ar
ranged for the final departure by put
ting his worldly affairs in proper
state: then fortified with the consola-

placidly as a child falls into deep
sleep. The deceased was born in County
Cork Ireland. Il years ago. Having
