JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY DEAD.
The Irish American Poet Expires ut n
Massachusetts Summer Resort

NANTAsKET BEACH, Mass. Aug. IL.
John Boyle o Kelley died very suddenly
1T his summer home, at clock Sunday
morning. The cause of his death is
supposed to have been from accidental
poisoning.
Mr.. OReily had been suffering for
several days from insomnia. During the
last week he had slept but little. Mrs
O'Reilly was also ILL.,, and the poet took
some medicine left for her. He was found
a little later, lying on the floor unconsci-
Gus, 1t is believed that he took an over
dose of chloral.
John Boyle O'Reilly was born at Castle
Dowth, county Meath Ireland, June 25,
1874 he WIS tried and convicted of high
treason in June 1866, and sentanced to
imprisonment for life, but his sentence
was commuted to twenty years penal
servitude. IN 1866 he escaped to the Uni
ted States, where he has since been editor
of the Boston Pilot. He has published
Songs from the Southern Ssas, Songs,
Legends and Ballads, "Moondye' and
''Statues in the Rock"
The deceased poet leaves a widow and
four children IN comfortable circum-
stances.

and their speeches are apparently intended
az direct appea! to the sectional preju-
dices of their constituents. Moreover,
they cast behind them all humbug and
pretense, and openly declare that the Oh
ject which their party has in view is the
destruction, root and branch, of the whole
protective system.
A case in point is the speech of Senator
Voorhees,. Mr.. voorhees, SAID that ths
conservative lines laid down by such
democrats as Jackson and Walker must be
abandoned. Walker it will be remem-
bered, was the author of the low tariff of
1916, and these were his main principles:
Il, No surplus revenue. 2. No duty
above the lowest rate which would yield
the required revenue. 3. The maximum
duties on luxuries." These are the prin-
ciples which leading democratic senator
declares are too conservative" for the
democracy of 1890 The senate is still de-
Skating the earthenware schedule. Eight
hours were devoted to it yesterday without
IL vote One of the leading pottery manu-
facturers of New Jersey, who is here look
ing ON in amazement at the attitude of
Senator Mcpherson, of that state, who Is
apparently endeavoring to break down the
pottery interests, says: 1t Will not be
long before the Trenton potteries will be
furnishing this country all the pottery it
requires both useful and artistic. Within
a year the Trenton kilns will be putting
on the market as fine china and porcelain
as is turned out anywhere in the world.
The democratic free-trade statesmen and
writers have made special fight on the
Trenton potteries, but they still endure.
Our pottery alone pays $3,000O00 in
wages every year to the workingmen of
Trenton, more than all the free-trade inn
porters of New York City pay out in the
way of wages il ten years. The American
potters are as skilful and artistic as any
in the world, and if they are properly pro-
tected they will before very long be aole to
supply America with not only its useful
tableware, but with valuable porcelain
and bisques that are classed as works of
art "

A MALICIOUS FABRICATION.
Such Are the Stories about Blaine and
Harrison.

An ex-cabinet off Ger who has recently
had some means Of knowledge precisely
what the relations are between President
Harrison and his cabinet, was asked by a
Washington correspondent, whether there
was the slightest foundation for some OF
the stories which have been put in circula-
ton, especially respecting Mr.. Blaine's re-
tirement from the cabinet Such stories
have been reiterated and reasserted with
so much confidence that it was desired to
know whether there was any foundation
for them. The cabinet officer of former
az ninistration said that the stories were
purely of malicious fabrication. There
never had been a cabinet where there was
less friction than there is in that which
gathers around President Harrison. Mr.
Blaine is not only entirely satisfied with
the circumstances in which he finds him
self, but his relations with President Har-
rson are such as he himself hardly hoped
to enjoy. He knew Mr.. Harrison very
slightly when he entered the cabinet, but
from cordial, political, and administrative
association the two distinguished men
have come to entertain the most sincere
personal regard for one another. Mr.
Blaine has no more intention of retiring
from the cabinet than ne had "a month af-
ter he entered it, and when he entered it
it was his purpose to remain with the
president till the close of the term. On
the other hand the secretary of state knows
we'll that it would be with the sincerest
sorrow that the president would contem-
plate the secretary's retirement from the
cabinet. mr.. Blaine, said the ex-cabinet
officer. is serving this administration. the
republican party and the country with a
zeal and loyalty unprecedented in his ca
reer " The authority and character OF
this once prominent republican leader are
so great that his friends were wholly con.
WINGED that those things which he said
had substantial foundation.

A Burial on the shore.

We drew the boat up on the sandy shore,
and then walked across the peninsula,
which was here about quarter of mile
wide, to view The tremendous sea rolling
in. There was a northeaster blowing, and
the ocean as far out as one could see was
boiling and foaming. The tide was ON the

the raging surf, with the gale almost fling

or four minutes, and then great wave

sands at our feet.

A PECULIAR PENSION CASE DECIDED

Washington, Oct. ls.-Assistant Secretary Bussey
has decided tho case OF Mollie II. Rich widow Of
John NJ. Rich, late OF Company D.. Independent Bat
terry, Pennsylvania Light Artillery. The circumstances
Of this case peculiar. The record shows that on
June 10, 1863, Rich nled declaration for q pension
alleging as basis therefor that during his military
service Ut Falmouth Va about December /. 1862. he
contracted disease Of the spine and kidneys. 1t Is
shown that the se&dier. who had become deaf and a
rsving maniac, died In the insane asylum In Shelby
County, Tenn. August 81, 1885, Of the result Of
said troubles, brain disease. That the disability
Was pensonable. there seems to be no doubt 1t ap-
pears from the testimony that the soldier was married
some time after he returned from the war, and lived
with his wife until 1871. when she left him. 1t Is
shown that he travelled about the country, going
back TO Chicago from time to time, until 1877, when
he was again married. at Memphis, Tenn. In the
meantime the soldier had written to his friends that
he had obtained divorce. His first wife, believing
~ he had procured divorce from her, married a
Ind time. All of the witnesses who have testified
in the case pronounce the soldier man OF good charac
ter devout Christian. ,nd the soul OF honor. The
claimant says she Is unable to furnish copy Of tho
record Of the soldiers divorce from his first wife be-
cause now that the soldier Is dead. she cannot ascer-
tain In what court the divorce was procured. The
claim was rejected by the Pension Bureau. on the
ground not shown to be the soldiers legal
wife, and that the Legality Of her wldowhood cannot
be presumed. the f,rmer wife survives him and
alleges that she has knowledge that divorce was
granted and that none ever procured by her.
Tho Assistant Secretary reviews ut great length
tho law applicable to the case, and cites several de-
clstons in cases Of similar character. and says In
closing This Department possesses no authority to
Investigate charges Of criminal condnct alleged against
q claimant a bar to pension. Such charges must
be alleged II at all, and tried by court OF competent
jurisdiction This Department, having no power "
enforce penalties. neither arrigns nor tries claim
ant for alleged offences but adudicate pension claims
With reference only to the status of the claimant
IL appears In the light of the evidence and Of the
records before It. Under the circumstances tho claim
ant Ia held Ub be the soldiers lawful widow, and
therefore entitled to pension.'
