THE CONvlCT'S STORY
AND OTHER POEMS BY
PATRICK r. DENNEHY.

Patrick #. Dennehy, sentenced to life
Imprisonment in the Rhode Island State
Prison, and after serving a long term
pardoned out by Governor Brown, is now
earning an honorable living by keeping
books for Providence concern.
Mr.. Dennehy is an educated man of
literary instincts, and so it was a natural
vent for the hours OF loneliness in prison
to write verses. The best of the product
Of bis pen for the 21 years of his imprison-
ment is now published in a handsomely
printed little volume, which is sold in
Mr.. Dennehys interest for % cents
volume. The NEWS has taken few OF
thsse books. and they are on sale at THE
NEWS office.
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 stanZas:
Ivaik along the crowded street,
mingle with the crowd;
hear the childTen's merry laugh,
see the ola men bowed
With weight of years and worldly care.
But no one do see
Whom 1 have known in former years
And none seem 10 know me.
And this from lines entitled "what
Could Be Done If Men Were True":
Oppression. cruelty and wrong.
And every vice and human weakness
Would have to die
II you and
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 a thousand fields.
But who will send one little rose
TO grace prisoners cell,
Or waste a single thought on him
In solitude that dwell?
Andthis bit entitled "old Stsffordn:
Years have gone by. fuil many.
Since from old Stafford strayed.
From the town loved better than any,
And the home where in boyhood played.
Tonight, with a fanciful notion,
conjure up scenes of the past,
That loved with a boyish devotion,
Which will live while memory shall last
There are bits OF humor, too, OCCASION
ally, as for instance this, being also from
"Whst Could BE Done il Men Were
True:
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 er gage
A block of votes from Colonel Honey.
There Is not little writing IN the book
that betrays the sentiments of a 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.
meritorious.

Diminished Importation OF Sugar.

WASHINGTON Oct 80 - The importa

pounds, compared with 293,0oO,00o In the
same month of 1893; in August, $4,000,
900. as against POI 900. 900 pounds for the
