DEATH OF JOHN P. KENNEDY.

Although he has been for some time in
failing health, the death Of the Hon. j. p.
Kennedy at Newport, r T., on the 18th inst,
was an unexpected event to his numerous
friends and admirers throughout the country.
Mr.. K. reached the ripe age Of sevcnty>fve
years, and for half century was familiorly
known in public affairs for which he always
exhibited fondness, although the indulgence
Of chaste and elevated literary taste occu>
pied the largest portion of his life. Born in
the City of Baltimore in 1895, he studied law
with the celebrated William Writ, whose
pared and published, and which is justly re.
garded as one of the most finished and charm
ing productions of the kind in the English
language. He entered public life at the age
of twenty. five, and was elected in the year
1920 to seat in the Legislature Of Maryland.
In 1888 he abandoned the practice of the law,
and in that year he was chosen a representa-
tive in the Congress Of the United States, and
served with marked distinction in that body
through the Twcnty-ffth, Twenty>scventh
and Twenty eight Congresses In 1916 he
was reelected to the House of Delegates of
Maryland, and was called to preside over its
deliberations as speaker. During the admins
tration of Mr.. Fillmore he was made Secretary
of the Navy, for which Office he was admirably
fitted by his previous service chairman Of
the Committee of Commerce in the House of
Representatives. In 1917 he was chosen by
the request of the University Of Maryland to
preside over that institution as Provost, and
was at the time of his death Vice President
of the Maryland Historical Society and Pres.
ident of the Board of Trustees of the Peabody
Institute.
The political pamphlets and essays of Mr..
Kennedy always exhibited great vigor of
thought and were regarded as exhaustive of
the subjects discussed. In the field of general
literature he was known as the author of
"Swallow Barn, a Sojourn in the old Do
minion,"' "Horse Shoe Robinson" Rob of
the Row." "Quodibet" and the :"Mcmories
of William Writ" above referred to.
He was genial gentleman ; possessed of
fine conversational powers and the kccnest
sense of honor
