WALT WHITMAN'S ILLNESS
PHILADELPHIA. Pa., July 7.—The Times this morning says that the friends of Walt Whitman, the "Good Gray" poet, fear he will not recover from the illness with which he has been prostrated for several weeks. The aged poet is now unable to leave his bed at his home, No. 328 Mickel street, Camden, and he seems to be gradually growing weaker. The progressive paralysis, with which he has been afflicted for years, is now taking a firmer hold and paralyzing all his physical powers.
