"Have you shifted the Democratic

Governor Stone was asked.

Jersey in the past ten days. The

HOMEWARD BOUND
The Goal Almost Reached When Death
lnteneneS In the Race.

Death, that mysterious parting of
the material and spiritual part of
mans nature, is always, even to the
resigned Christian and the confirmed
fatalist source of sorrow and re-
gret. The great majority of human
ity regard the inexorable and ruthless
approach of dissolution with feelings
of horror. To feel that friend who
was but a moment before an animated
human being, guided by purpose and
instinct with hope, is now but an in
ert mass of clay, is one OF the most diff
ficult tests to which human nature can
be subjected.
One of the most pathetic events re-
corded Of the grim destroying angel
took place Wednesday afternoon. A
telegram stating that G. c. Bennett, of
Denver, Col, was on his way home
and would reach Parkersburg Wednes-
day afternoon, was received by the
father, w. H. Bennett.
Prof. Thos. Mckinney, of the Col
lege, went to Parkersburg Wednesday
afternoon for the purpose of meeting
Mr.. Bennett, who was an invalid, and
conducting him home. Prof. Mckinney
met Mr.. Bennett with the expectation
of welcoming him home, but the latter
was in an unconscious condition and
death resulted at S:15 p. m.
The body was embalmed and ship
ped to this city Wednesday night and
the remains were taken to the house of
the father, w. H. Bennett, of 522 Third
street.
The deceased was 81 years old apd
was by profession a photographer.
For the past two years he has been
living in Denver, Col, in the hope
that that salubrious climate would
benefit his health. He leaves, besides
his parents, sister, Mrs. Cowan, all
three of whom reside in the city. AS
yet no arrangements have been made
for the funeral.
The circumstances attending Mr..
BENEFITS death are very affecting
For years he has been affected with
consumption and has been a restless
seeker after health far from home.
Finally as the end was fast approach
ing he determined to make an effort to
reach the home of his boyhood and
give up his life among the scenes
where he had first drawn breath. AS
fast as the cars could carry him he
travelled homeward, but death was
following close behind and overlook
the unfortunate man at Parkersburg,
only dozen miles from the home and
loved ones which he was never again
to see, he departed to that unknown
land. The decree of an overruling
Providence passes the ken of mortals
and must be accepted with meek sub
mission.
