one Of the leading mine owners Of the
world. sixty years Of age, died In his
apartments in the Hotel Netherland
at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. Dila-
ton Of the heart and Bright's disease
Of the kidneys with resultant compli-
cations were the immediate cause Of
death. though Mr.. Days illness dated
back several years. He had suffered
severely during the last two months.
but the end was painless. While he
was surrounded by members Of his
family his life went out SO peacefully
that only the physicians in attendance
knew that he had found rest. Marcus
Days death assumed form in keep
lived. His physical strength and vi
tally were great. What would have
been hard labor for another little IA
tigued him. His soul was in his work.
Years ago he vigorously supervised
the operations in his mines and
shelters. His men were all constant
ly under his direct observation. His
motto was do yourself that which
you would have done right"
Breathing the fumes .of arsenic in
shelters where copper ore from his
mines were treated and living in the
high attitudes Of Montana weakened
his heart. He realized that his con-
stitutioE had broken, but did not soon
enough give himself opportunity to
recuperate. He at last came to New
York and consulted three eminent
specialists in diseases Of the heart.
They all made the same diagnosis and
advised him to forsake active business
life. Fretting under these orders. Mr..
DAILY. contrary to their advice, went
to take the baths at Mannheim. These
are said to be too stimulating in cases
Of
Dilation of the Heart.
Upon being told that death could not
long be delayed, he hurried back to
this city. hoping against hope that
those who had previously helped him
might again prolong his life. Mr..
DAILY returned from Europe about the
middle of September. He was told by
his physicians that his days could not
be many. He wished to be taken to
his new home at No. 725 Fifth avenue,
but it was thought best that he should
remain in the apartments in the Hotel
Netherland, whittier he had been taken
from the steamship. His physicians
told Mr.. Daily that they could only
guarantee his life from day to day,
and that he might pass away at any
time. lie accepted the decision with
full resignation, asking only that he
might live until his family could be
with him. Two of his daughters We're
then in Europe and Mr.. Days pleas
ure was great when they arrived. MI.
Daily failed rapidly on Sunday after
noon and he and the members of his
family were told that his strength had
been so depleted that he could not
rally. Most Of Sunday night he was
unconscious, but he awoke at o'clock
yesterday morning and asked for his
wife and children.
"Only little while more, only a lit
tie while more and then peace" We're
his words to Mrs. Daily when she went
to him. With Mr.. DAILY at the mo-
ment of his death We're his wife, his
three daughters, Mary, Margaret and
