ILLUSTRIOUS DEAD

The death of John Boyle O'Rielly de-
prives American journalism of its most
brilliant member aud the literary of its
, brightest and most picturesque ornament.
He came suddenly like a meteor into the
literary armament and from the first hour
that he began TO sing he never ceased to
delight and enchant the listening throng.
Boyle O'Rielly was Of no common clay or
ordinary mould. He was ethereal, grand,
and at times sublime. His sympathies
were as wide as the world. his aspirations
noble as ever emanated from creative
power and his life is in itself lesson in
sublime heroism. Dead in the prime OF
life. in the full flush of his fame. there is
not a spot from the Ganges to the Jutland
or from Ireland to Van Dieman's land
where the need of a melodian tear will
not be shed over his grave. His genius
was not provincial, or even national, but
cosmopolitan. and while lives the lang
uage of Shakespeare and of Milton the
verse Of John Boyle O'Rielly will continue
TO the inspiration of noble thoughts and
manly deeds. Born in Ireland in 1874. his
childhood was passed amid the horrors of
famine years, and in boyhood he inhibited
the story of Ireland's unparalleled suffer-
ings and sorrows. For q mad attempt to
right her wrongs he was sentenced to be
shot, and endured for years frightful tor
lures in English prisons and the chain
gangs of Australia. Twentv-one years
ago he made a romantic escape in an
open boat, and after eight months of dan
ger and adventure he landed in the
United States. There wealth. fame, for
tune ana a splendid career awaited him,
and when he died the most picturesque
character that ever dwelt within the H.
lustrious city of Boston passed away. For
those twenty years he has charmed and
charmed and delighted millions, he has
said old things in new way, and he has
built him imperishable monuments OF
poetic art. He was prominently the poet
of man and liberty. Race. creed and
color were words that found no place in
his philosophy. for he was as ready tC

Niger or the antiJewish bgot as to hurl
anathemas at the head of the oppressor.
of his motherland. The morning of his
lie was WHO ana stormy the noon-dav ol
wondrous orliilancy, out the eve never
came, Tor the lllustrlous soul passed away
IN the zenith on his lame ana glory.

ambition that we gave him n dollar and

some more when he reached Yokohama.
The other day we heard of him up ut
