Finally, on the eve of his death, a morning newspaper* consented to halt its presses and print a single copy of a special edition, called by the British press "the bedside edition," wherein was described his "great improvement" and the certainty of his early convalescence?but all in vain; the "bedside edition" was hardly wet with its ink before Lord Curzon had expired.
