BosToN, July 2o-In n little more
than four weeks DR.. Oliver Wendell
Holmes will enter upon his eighty-hfth
year. la one Of his reminiscent moods
not long ago this venerable poet and
philosopher. who Is now at his summer
home 10 Beverly Fails, said;
Nathaniel Parker Willis was In full
bloom when | opened my first portfolio
more than ffty-fve years ago. Fifty
years are just enough to make every
thing hopelessly old fashioned and not
enough 10 give anything the charm OF
real antiquity.
"a half century st best is bat half
already famous. He was tall. His
hair was OF light brown color and
waved in luxurious abundance. His
cheeks were as rosy as II painted 10
show behind the footights. He was
dressed with artistic elegance. he was
something between = remem brsnce OF
Count d. Orsay and an anticipation OF
Oscar Wilde.
"At that earlier time Willis was by
far the most prominent American au-
thor. Cooper, Irving, Bryant, Halleck,
Drake, had done their best work. Long
fellow was not yet conspicuous, Lowell
was a schoolooy, Emerson was unhesrd
OF, and Whittier was beginning 10 make
bis way against writer's with better ed
vocational advantages tnan mis- own,
and whom he was destined to ontiye
and Guido"
One OF his contemporaries
in the easily days says Of him: "He
seemed TO think In poetry, and his ideas
appeared to come 10 rhymed sentences. >"
These poems have since passed through
many editions and 10 England have
been received with as much
II not more favor than any Amer
lean work. His most Characteristic
productions, however, are undoubtedly
the series begun ia the Atlantic Monthly
OF 1887 under the name OF "rhe Auto
crat Of the Breakfast Table" and fol-
lowed by THE Professor" and THE
Poet at the Breakfast Table" They
are conceded Ia be the most original OF
modern literary works and probably In
dictate the high water mark OF American
humor. The Intellectual material Of
the Autocrat is so inGeniously arranged
as TO allow him TO blend serious thought
with badinage, TO DO wise or witty al
will.

Father Drumgooe 10 his early Gays
was very poor, and was the only sup
port OF an aged and invalid mother. Al
though from early boyhood he had been
DESTROYS OF studying for the MINISTRY,
he considered the care Of his mother
sacred charge, and he was not ordained
until he was ffty-three years old. His
greatest love and pity was always Tor
the little ones, and the miserable chill
dren Of the miserable poor with whom
he came in contact on his errands OF
charity. 1t was in view Of devoting his
life 20 the ameloratiUn OF their suffer
ing and wretchedness that he sought
the position Of custodian OF the small
mission established on Warren street
nv the Society Of ST.. Vincent de Paul,
and where he gathered In the miserable
and woe-begone little walls he found In
the streets IL was not long before the
little house could no longer sccommo-
date the increasing numbers, and FAITH
pr DrumCoole lived 20 see the large and
commodious house In Lafayette place
built aud filled with children.
The institution is entirely supported
by subscriptions 20 little paper known
az the Homeless ChiId, which Is printed
by the boys Of the Mount Loretto Mis-
sion. The expenses OF the Institution
are 500, 600 month, all Of which comes
in in 25-cent pieces, the price OF the
little sheet issued by the ST.. Vincentd de
Paul Society.
The children are educated to be self
supporting, and are taught the trades.
The carpenterirg, painting and plumb
ing, farming and dairy work are done
by the inmates Of the home. The chari-
" is one Of the most worthy and 6enetl-
cent that exists, and is far reaching and
wonderful In its effects.
Although Father Drumgoole Is TO be
perpetuated in bronze, he will have an
everlasting monument in the hearts OF
the little ones whom he has rescued
| from degradation and misery.
The present head OF the institution is
Father Dougherty, who Is assisted by
three priests, sixty-iour Sisters OF st.
Francis, twenty-three lay teachers and
1913 servants. Archbishop Ryan made
visit TO the institution not long ago, and
declared afterwards that II was simply
wonderful TO see those children as they
are now aud remember them as they
were when found. "Surely, God is
good" said he.

Tricks and Capricss Of the English Mermaid as She
DispOrs Herself Most Tandlizingly Cool IN the
Clear Water.

New YORK, July 2O.-Clara Beckwlth
is youpz woman who proudly asserts
that she is in the swim now, always has
been, and always expects to be. Last
week She disported herself in a glass
tank at Tony Pastors, and toated ABOUT
In the water with an appearance OF cool

very irritating.
A woman who can swim nine miles at

forms athletic feats, and, in short, seems
"a much as home in the water az most
people are out Of it, is interesting. Miss
Bsckwlth calls herself "the modern

likes TO talk about swimming. She gave
a woman reporter long interview the
other evening, and told q very interest

To Graft Humaa Arms

Theodore Lee, the armies news
dealer Of Tacoma, Wash, WAC went
east recently with vague idea that
be could get arms grated onto his
stumps. has been heard from. He has
been inQuiring among specialists re-
Qardng his case and finds that he may
vet secure arms. The arms that are 20
be grated must be taken from healthy
person, aud the hope is held out to Mr..
Lee that he may fnG someone, con-
demned to be hanged, Tor instance,
who would for $1,000, say, TO be
giuep TO relatives or charity, allow an
arm to be smputated for grating pur-
noses. As TO the method Of grating
An arm. Mr.. Lee has been Informed
that the splice would have 70 be made
inst above the elbow joint, where there
are practically only two muscles, one
main artery and only one nerve. When
Mr.. Lee has found a person who will
submit 10 the operation, they will
have 10 be brought together 10 such
position as to permit Of the arms Of
both, which are 10 be operated upon,
being placed IN plaster casts, so that
taey cannot be moved. Then II Is
proposed to cut the back part OF ootn
the arms, also cutting through the
bone. The arm that Is 70 be grated 10
Mr. Lees stump. or that portion OF II
that Is cut away al tho first operation,
Is 70 be ajusted and fastened 20 the
stump until II heals, and there Is evil
dence OF eircu alton between the stump
and the part that Is grated on. The
second operation, will be The cutting
Of the remainder Of the Inside portion
oftha arm, together with the artery
and the nerve. This operation, how
ever. is not to be undertaken until the
surgeons are satisfied that the eircula-
ton through the part OF the arm graft
ed on is sufficient 20 nourish and sup
mort the new forearm. This would be
ascertained by placing 3 ligament on
the arm OF the person who was con-
tributlnR the new member ABOVE the
elboN and shutting Of the blood which
was flowing through the artery into
his own arm through that portion thai
was not already cut OF.

The Senatorial Matter.

There has been some trouble over the
certification of the Republican nominees
for State Senators in this Senatorial dis
trict. Under the law the certificates
have to be filed with the Board OF
Elections of Columbiana county. Owing
to the manner In which they were nom.
mated the Board refused to recognize the
certificates, and to remedy the difficulty
a mass convention was called at Steuben-
vile on Tuesday to make nominations
Before that convention met, however,
the Columbiana county Board reconsid-
cred their decision and accepted the
papers as legal, and consequently no con-
vention was held. The plan followed
was not a good one and should not be
tried again as it is liable to raise perplex-
ing questions.

Some of the members of last yeal 3
Democratic Executive Committee now
wish that that committee had not made
any recommendations as to the appoint
ment of Fourth class Postmasters in this
county. 1t was shrewd move of Mr.
Pearson to escape the bad feeling which
suchlappointments always engender, and
THE CHRONICLE pointed out that fact at
the time, and it was surprising that the
Committee was silly enough to gulp
down the bait, but they did. In the eyes
of that committee it was big thing to
get to name the postmasters, not consid-
ering that where one friend was made
by an appointment, dozen enemies
were also created by the same act. In
one or two localities there is merry war
on in regard to the Post-office, and a
member of that committee who is now a
candidate, wishes that he had never
heard of that committee.

"Emphatically do we endorse the protest

vampires in the language of Bishop
Foster-who have taken away moneys
due to honest and steady pastoral toll nor
encourage the notion that spell of ex-

iIl-gotten spoils. If we need help in our
special meetings let US, like our fathers,
