SHE CANNOT SURVIVE.

Mrs. Parnell Slowly Dying at Her Home Near Bbrdentown, N. J. Bordentown, N. J. v April 24.—1 t now seems but a question of a few hours until Mrs. Delia Stewart Parnell will pass away. Since site was attacked by the first convulsion yesterday she has rapidly grown worse and is growing weaker every minute. Dr. Shipps, the attending physician, has given up all hope of saving the aged woman's life and as she is too weak to undergo an operation all that can be done is to wait for the fast approaching end. Dr. Shipps believes that if his patient were strong enough to stand an operation that the clot of blood at the base of the brain, which, in his opinion, is the cause of the convulsions could be successfully removed, and while It might not result in her ultimate recovery, life could be prolonged. Friends of the patient are at her bedside, but she does not seem to recognize any one.
