Death of Archbishop Lewis.

Archbishop Lewis of Ontario died of pneumonia on the morning of May 4 while crossing the Atlantic to England on board the steamer Menominee. When the archbishop sailed he was suffering severely from weakness consequent upon an attack of pneumonia. He was bound ultimately for Egypt, where, it was believed, his health would be restored. On the night of May 3 his wife and the trained nurse who accompanied him observed that

he was sinking rapidly and called in the ship’s surgeon. In spite of the stimulants applied he sank steadily and passed away at dawn the following day.
