EDWARD paysoa Rss, Popular sevol

list
Myriads OF American homes feel be-
renyed in the death OF Edward Psyson
Roe, whose pen for years has ministered
10 healthful recreation in the family en-
Giles of the land. He was one OF the
most popular story-writers OF the age,
and one whose books are eminsnfly
wholesome. People were not prepared
for the news of his death, which was
sudden.
Dir. Roe was born in 1888, at New
Windsor, N. Y, and was educated a.
Williams College and Auburn Theology
cal Seminary. he was ready to enter
the ministry when the civil war broke
out. Mr.. hoe entered the sefvice as o
chaplain in the Union army. he WAS
connected with New York cavalry regi-
ment, and participated IN numerous en-
gagements, including Dahlgren lannon's
raid on Richmond. For time he was
chaplain at Fortress Monroe.
At the close OF the war he became pas
tor OF Presbyterian church at High
land Falls. N, Z, and remained there
until 1874, when no removed to Corn
wall, 10 the same State. There he estab-
lished fruit farm and nursery, and d.
vided his time between horticulture and
literature.
His first important venture as an au-
thor was inspired by the Chicago ire,
1871, and appeared IN the novel " Bar
riers Burned Away" This book quickly
attained wide circulation and gave Its
author a national reputation. Other
works Of fiction followed in rapid sue
cession. Among them were ''The Open
ing Of a Chestnut Burr" "Near to Ma
lures Heart" "From Jest to Earnest, .
"a Day of Fate" Without Home, "
and "a Knight Of the Nineteenth Cen

Washington. His appointment was a
recognition by President Cleveland OF
hisliberality and energy in the campaign
of 1854.
The stricken diplomat was originally
known as a fourishing dry-goods mer-
chant in New York city. where his wife
and son now reside. He had accumu-
lated large fortune when the Fenian
movement was organized in the United
States and Canada. The aid be lent the
Irish cause at that time greatly reduced
his fortune aud the succeeding sgita-
ton by the Land League made further
serious diminution of his bank account.
He msdo himself known IS politician
by his connection with Tammany Hall,
aud it was by tbs assistance OF this or
ganization that he was elected New
York alderman. he presided over the
board two terms In 1879 he was de-
fcated in bis candidacy for the Office Of
