A Restaurant Waiter Claiming 10 b,
One Of the n elrs.

O1O W. NAO - CAAss
New York Hsrald,l
A few weeks ago there appeared
in the Herald an advertisement
stating that certain Adjutant-
General Charles Robert 0'Keefe of
the British army having died in
Calcutta without heirs, his nearest
of kin were invited to come forward
and establish their claim to the
colossal fortune of $125,O00,0O0
which the deceased soldier has left
behind him.
On the 18th of last month there
was published in these columns a
statement Of a certain Mrs. Mary
Ann Madden, of Boston, wherein
she gave her reasons at length for
supposiDg that she is one of the
heirs.
In a fashionable restaurant not
far from the st. Denis, Hotel,
Broadway, there is a smart, well
favored man of some thirty-eight
summers, serving as a waiter. His
name is Daniel 0'Keefe, and unless
he told the beholder that he was,
in fact, born at Calcutta, those
conversing with him would un-
doubtedly affirm that he first saw
the light not far from "dear, dirty
Dublin" 0'Keefe claims to be
one Of the heirs of the dead adju-
tant-general whose name he bears.
This living member of the great
O'Keefe family, with whom the
writer conyersed yesterday. claims
that his father, Daniel 0'Keefe-
who, by the way, was born at home
and not at Oalcutta-was an officer
in the First battalion, Twenty-frst
regiment Of Royal North British
Fusiliers. He died at Calcutta,
while serving in his regiment in
the year 1910.
The brother of the deceased Dan
iel appears, singularly enough, to
have entered the same regiment
while it lay in Calcutta, and in the
year 1910. After the death of his
father, the New York O'Keefe-let
us call him-returned home from
Calcutta, whore he had gone to see
the light, and settled with his
mother, two brothers and two sis
tors at Dublin. Here he went to
school with his brothers and sis,
ters, Just as any ordinary boy might
have done, and nothingof a strange
or stirring nature is recorded Of
him until his fourteenth year, at
Ehich age he enlisted as a drum
meF ig the same regiment and bat
TALON to WHICH his father had once
belonged, for, it seems, the fighting
portion of the O'Keefe family had,
Eor reasons best known to them
selves, determined TO belong to nc
other regiment IL the SERVICE than
the First battalion of the Twenty
first North British Fusiliers. 1t
was in 1854 that young 0'Keefc
book to rattle the laundering drum
as his trade, 9Hd he continued at
this noisy occupation until the yeal
1862, when he left the service
Now, the theory of the Irish-Amer.

Robert 0'Keefs was none other thar
the brother of the dead officer,
Daniel 0'Keefe, and, consequently,

present employed in Broadway

dence does not as yet appear TO bt

rightful heir. Our O'Keere, on
this side of the ocean, says that he
has a brother who is an inspector of
the Dublin city police force, sta
toned at Ladd's Lane, and that this
active servant of the British govern
ment has gene over to London to
"see about it"
OF course the present O'KeeGe
utterly ignores the idea of a person
with such an unlikely name as
Madden having anything whatever
to do with the boards of wealth ac-
cumulated by the dead 0'Keefe.

Tn. ponnsylvania Republicans.


The action of the Republican State Con-
vention yesterday is a noteworthy sign OF
the times. The ticket which it nominated
is respectable, but calls for no comment.
The resolutions it adopted prove that
President Hayes has won substantial
victory over the recalcitrant element in
his own party. The ascendancy Of
the Cameron family has been SO
great among the Pennsylvania republicans,
and both father and son exhibited so many
symptoms of dissatisfaction during the
spring and early summer, that it seemed at
one time possible that Pennsylvania might
follow the example Of Maine and virtually
censure the policy of the President by re-
fusing to indorse it. But course which
was safe in Maine, where the republican
majority is too large to be overcome, would
have been hazardous, if not ruinous,
in Pennsylvania, where the chances
preponderate in favor of the democrats The
Camerons could not afford to oppose Mr.
Hayes and then get badly whipped in the
State election. The defeat would have been
charged to them, and they did not wish to
take such responsibility. The only chance
the republicans have of carrying Penn
sylvania depends on their maintaining
united front, and the only possibility OF
union lay in indorsing the President
The Endorsement is not, indeed, complete
and unequivocal; but it conveys unqualified
respect for Mr.. Hayes motives, and ex-
presses full approval of the objects of his
policy. But, while indorsing his character
and his aims, it declines to express an opin-
jon Of his means and methods. 1t regards
his policy as an experiment to be tested by
time, and hopes that it will be vim
dicated by it's results. It would doubtless
have been inexpedient to 60 further in the
divided state Of republican sentiment which
the Convention recognizes. The great re-
quisite in this canvass is to keep the party
ment would have repelled the more ardent
opponents OF the new policy. The Con-
vention has probably gone as far as
Mr.. Hayes himself would desire, for it is
better to carry the State on such an indorse-
ment as he has received than to lose it by
of the party. The moderate acquiescence
which has been expressed will grow warmer
and more cordial in the progress of the
canvass.
The platform is strong and explicit in
demanding the reconciliation Of silver and
making it equally with gold full legal
tender. The other noticeable thing in it
is it's straightforward denunciation Of
mob violence-a praiseworthy declaration
which will be approved by all the
better classes of citizens, and is in refresh
ing contrast to the demagogic appeals of the
Democratic Convention. The prospects Of
the Pennsylvania republicans do not look so
discouraging as they did ten days ago.

M. Thfers' Illn ess.

In August NJ. Thiers was at Dieppe, but
about the Goth of the month he found the
seaside air too fresh and sharp, and beat a
hasty retreat to Paris. Thence he went to
st. Germain-en-L Loye, a high and pleasant
situation in the environs OF the capital At
this place he died two weeks later. Although
he had not been an invalid in that period
he had not been in his usual health. He
had not overcome that arrangement which
caused his flight from Dieppe. He had ap-
parently caught cold" at the seaside, and
this slight variation from the standard of
good health fingered with characteristic
tenacity, and finally exploded in the onset
which overwhelmed the victims brain. At
eighty-one the resistance the system opposes
is unequal, and the itful guard failed to
keep out the enemy. The expression used
in the dispatches, opoplerie toudroyaate,
means only apoplexy which strikes down
and kills at once as distinguished from that
whose fatal effects are developed with less
startling speed.

Fighting Osman Pacha.

From the report Of Prince Meretinsky it
appears that the Russian operations at
Lovatz on Monday were of great Importance.
That position, constituting the extreme
right of Osman Pacha's line of defence. and
held to prevent the operation in that direc-
ton Of turning movement against Plevna
was captured against very desperate resist
ance. One fact that has been indisputably
shown in the war is the resolute courage OF
the troops on both sides, the effect Of dis
cipline upon warlike races In their works
the Turks fight with stolid obstinacy like
that of the English soldier himself, and the
best that has been told of the .ttuia trancese
does not surpass the enthusiastic impetu-
osity that the Russians have shown in
assault. It may be believed, there
FORE that this battle was fercely
contested on either side; and that the Rus
slams were victorious proves what they can
do when handled with more judgment than
they were in their bloody attempt against
Plevna There is some appearance that the
fighting at Lovatz, which began by Turk
ish advance, was one more attempt of the
Ottoman commander, like that made at
Pelischat, to take advantage of the supposed
effect of the fighting elsewhere in weakening
the Russian lines. This victory permits
the continuation Of those operations
against Plevua that are likely to cut it off
from the support from beyond the Balkan.
Weakened by this isolation Osman Pacha
must either retreat or endeavor to retake
the lost position, and eithercontingency will
induce battle more favorable to the Rus
SLAMS than the one they must fight if they
simply repeated the attempt of July 81.
The fighting in the neighborhood Of Rust
chuk, enormously reported at first, proves
to be the recapture by the Russians of q
position taken by the Turks some days since.

perils Of Pleasure Seekers.

In our news columns to-day will be found
the account Of young man who died from
the effects Of 'the bite of some unknown
poisonous insect" received at Coney Island.
He died in five days after he was bitten. 1t
will be rather startling to the people of the
city to learn that venomous animals or
insects flourish at this great popular
resort. But, at all events, this in
sect, if he fourishes, is not abun-
dant, for of the hundred thousand that
have visited his domain this summer he has
killed but one. 1t is likely that this poi
sonous insect will resolve himself into the
familiar form of the mosquito. Sometimes
this insect having rested upon some putrid
matter, carries a small portion of it in his
proboscis, and the first person he bites is
necessarily inoculated with the poisonous
substance. Poisonous matter thus trans
mitted may be of all degrees of virulence.

The Smith Family.

The reunion of the Smith family yester-
day was all that the most enthusiastic men,
Der could have hoped. There were five
thousand persons present, all presumably
Smiths the day was bright and clear, the
dinner long and the oratory short. Our ac-
count describes all the Smiths as being in a
delightful humor, and it is the testi-
mony of the photographer, who is
always present on these occasions, that the
countenance of every one of the two thousand
Smiths who stood before the camera was
wreathed with beatific and exultant smile
This was particularly the case with the
Misses Smith, who were noted for their
beauty and intelligence, and enjoyed the
rare privilege of unlimited Irritation, being
with none but relatives. A strong family
resemblance existed among the five thou
sand ladies, gentlemen and children who
were present on the pleasant Smith farm,
near the little town of Peapack, NJ. The only
anomalous incident of the celebration ap-
pears to have been the delivery Of an ad-
dress by the Rev. Mr.. Woodruff, who is
not Smith, though he may be connected
with the family. There is no objection to
Mr.. Woodruff, but we think we once heard
of clergyman named Smith, and, if pos
sible, he should have been selected in pref
erence We congratulate the Smith family
on their second reunion, and when they
meet next year hope that instead of five
thousand there will be ten.
