ever made from any American point, left
this city by the steamer Philadelphian.
She carried $4,000 barrels. They will be
distributed all ever England. Other
steamers are taking large shipments OF
the fruit, so that nearly $4,000 barrels are
likely to leave Boston this week. Luckily
for New England growers, the entire
European apple crop Is failure. The

THE CONvICT'S STORY
AND OTHER POEMS By
PATRICK f. DENNEHY.

Patrick F. Dennehy, sentenced to life
imprisonment in the Rhode Island State
Prison, and alter serving q long term
pardoned out by Governor Brown, In now
earning an honorable living by keeping
books for Providence concern.
Mr.. Dennehy IL an educated man Of
literary instincts, and so II was O natural
vent for the hours OF loneliness in prison
to write verses. The best OF the product
Of his pen for the 21 years of his imprison-
ment is now published in a handsomely
printed little volume, which is sold In
Mr.. Dennehy's interest for 26 cents q
volume. The NEWS has taken q few of
these books, and they are on sale ct The
NEWS ONCE.
The verses are most OF them OF consider.
able worth and Of interest, aside from the
personality of their author. For instance,
the poem on his release contains these
two stanEas:
Iwaik along the crowded street.
Iminele with the crowd;
hear the children's merry laugh,
l sec the old men bowed
With weight of years and worldly care.
But no one do ! see
Whom have known In former years,
Aud none seem 10 know me.
And this from lines entitled "what
Gould Be Done II Men Were True;
Oppression. cruelty and wrong.
And every vice and human weakness
Would have to die
II you and / r
Would only practice love and meekness.
And this from lines to "a Bunch OF
Roses
The world outside these prison walls
Both Joy and beauty yields,
And flowers waste their sweet perfume
Upon q thousand zelda.
But who will send one little rose
To grace prisoners CELL
Or waste q single thought on him
In solitude that dwell?
And this bit entitled "Old Staffordu,
Years have gone By. full many,
Since from old stafford strayed.
From the town loved better than any,
And the home where In boyhood played.
Tonight, with fanciful notion,
conjure up scenes OF the past.
That loved with boyish devotion.
Which will live while memory shall last
There are bits of humor, too, OCCASION
ally, as for instance this, being also from
"what Could Be Done II Men Were
Trus"s
And politicians. great ana small.
Who get the Office and the DOODLE,
Could no more mix
With politics
ST. Patrick's Day aud Yankee Doodle.
The ladies. then. could stump the State,
And cast their votes for Mr.. Larry;
There'd be no rum
To bribe the bum,
No VS. TO buy Tom. Dick and Harry.
Cheap politicians could not rule.
They could not buy cheap votes for money
Then Charlie Page
Could not or gage
A block OF votes from Colonel Honey.
There 10 not little writing in the book
that betrays the sentiments of man who
has never acknowledged that he wa
guilty OF the crime for which he has been
punished. And, taken as whole the
little work Is OF human interest as well a.
msritorious.
