heart could bear, his thoughts werc all for

and had he been spared, he would have come
trilmphaLtly forth from his financial embar-

that l should state, now that he is gone, n
fact which he would not make public when
living, that If all his debtors would pay their
obligations, it would wipe out his indebted
ness and leave his fortune intact to his heirs.
During all his financial difficulties, faith in
his integrity was never for moment shaken,
and although his creditors were many, and
