He had enâ€" joyed fine health and vigour until a year or,so ago when he had the misâ€" fortune to break his hip in a fall, This injury kept him in hospital in Toronâ€" to for several months and left him more or less weakened from his forâ€" mer strength. After his recovery from this accident, he appeared to recapture some of his oldâ€"time health and strength, but some days ago he was taken ill and it was found necessary to remove him t6 the hospital where deâ€" spite all skill and care and the fine physique and endurance of the man himself, he succumbed on Monday. In his youth he joined the home guards in his native state and made rapid advance in military life, soon been gazetted as a captain. It was from his military connection and his soldierâ€"like bearing that he came to be universally known as Colonel Worthington, which was the invariâ€" able way of naming him in this North. In 1888 Col. Worthington came to Toâ€" ronto where he resided for about 15 years. To Toronto he brought his string of thoroughbred race horses ‘which he had raced throughout the United States. In Toronto and other Canadian cities his noted horses won ‘With the passing of Mr. Worthingâ€" ton, the North Land loses a colourf*xl figure in its development. He had 2‘ fine home up the river some miles and . his residence was known widely for| its home comforts and touches of art! and its generous ‘hospitality. The | original Worthington home had all| homeâ€"like touches and was on extend- ed scale. Novel among its furnishings were the stained glass windows. Tmsl hnome was destroyed by fire in 1923, i being later rebuilt. | fififififififiEEE William Wallace Worthington was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1853. "It is too. I can sit down in my skin, but I can‘t sit down in these pants!" "Hanged if I know what name you give it, but I saw a sign outside that said ‘four per cent‘ and IT‘ll drink whatever it is." ‘"Mother," said the little boy, ‘"These new trousers are too tight; they‘re tighter‘n my own skin." He is survived by a widow and two married daughters, Mrs. T. Lee, of Richmond, Va., and Mrs. Albert Woolâ€" ey, of Baltimore, Md. To these and to the other friends and relatives the sympathy of all will be extended. The body was shlpped this week to Baltiâ€" more, Md., for interment there. A blearyâ€"eyed man entered a savings bank and hurtied to the teller‘s winâ€" dow. "Lemme have two cases right away," he said, pushing two fiftyâ€"dolâ€" lar bills through the grating. a certain degree of success, In the early days of the Porcupine camp, beâ€" fore the railway reached here, Col. Worthington came here and settled about seven miles up the river from Timmins. There he had a farm, sawmill and lumber business and other industries and at one time was a large employer of labour. He suffered considerable illâ€"luck from fires and other causes but maintained his plucâ€" ky hopeful spirit to the end. In 19268 his lumber mill plant was wiped out by fire. He was widely known all through the North on account of his business ventures and his interest in horse racing and all other forms of good sport. He was a regular attendâ€" ant at the Woodbine races at Toronto in recent years, on occasion even rising from a sick bed to attend. the events. He was also interested largely in mining claims in the district. In 1909 he staked out a group of 25 claims in Ogden township, being one of the first stakers in that locality. A Belgian student was relating his experience in studying the English language. "When I discovered that if I was quick I was fast," he said, "and that if I was tied I was fast, if I spent too freely I was fast, and that not to eat was to fast, I was discourâ€" aged.
