sWatchwords From John Boyle O'Reilly'
Furnished by The Irish Standard.
"Watchwords from John Boyle O'Reil-
w. is the title OF a delightful little
volume OF selections from his poetry and
prose, chosen and arranged by Katherine
E. Conway, who introduces them with an
Est mate of O'Reilly as poet end literary
worker. The book is issued by the we'll
known publisher Cupples, and is made
with all the artistic beauty of Typography,
illustration and binding. for which this
house is deservedly famous. The colored
portrait of the poet, done in the style of
the now old-fashioned cameo, is excl
lent, and will add greatly to the value of
the book both with those who knew and
loved him and those who make his ac-
ouaintance here for the first time, it any
such there be. It is noticeable that the
house bringing out the book is entirely
unconnected with Catholic publications
in general This fact would seem to
show that it is but the beginning of many
that will appear upon this illustrious pa
triot and unique man. The many sided
personality of the lamented Boyle
O'Reilly is likely to occupy the attention
of literary workers for long period to
come. His fame with the American PEG
ple will broaden as time makes the more
clear his far-seeing sagacity, his entire
unsel6shness, his perfect manliness, and
the integrity and keenness of his instincts
which, always seeking the right, strove
to embrace not merely his own race but
humanity at large. Great and good was
Boyle O'Rsilly, and he can but the more
plainly be seen to have been such as time
goes on. ...

NEW YORK, April 27.-The steamer
Caracas, which arrived here yester-
day from Lsguaycs, brought news OF
civil war now going on In Venezuela.
It appears from all accounts
of the passengers that the war
between Crespo and Palacios is still
raging, and the result is q matter of
uncertainty. Traffic on some railroads
Is entirely suspended, telegraph wires
have been cut and all information
from the seat Of the disturbances
comes in q roundabout way. April
II q battle was fought near
Caracas. in which the government
troo ps lost four hundred men. April
10th the governor Of the State OF Bo-
livar went to Petare to recruit for
Palacios. A number of people in
sympathy with Crespo rose in revolt
and q fight in the streets ensued in
which the governor was killed. 1t
was generally thought among the
passengers on the Caracas that Crespo
was gaining ground.
