Spaniard that she carried nothing of the sort
The American skipper, of course, offered no phys

Death OF Edward King, Author and
Newsnaper Man.

Edward King, As, a well-known author and cor.
respondent, died in Brooklyn saturday He was
born at Middlefed, Mass. and his first newspaper
work was done for the Springfield Union While
still boy he was city editor Of the Springfield
Republican. During the Franco Prussian war he
was the Paris Correspondent of the Boston Journ.
al and the Springfield Republican, and he was in
the Balkans with the Russians in the war with
Turkey.
Among his books may be II entoned: French
character sketches" "Kentucky's love-" THE
great South, Echoes from the ORIENT The
gentle savage The golden spike and The
Venetian lover" One Of Kings greatest achieve
ments was the discovery of George w. Cable. DR.
Holland, Mr. elders predecessor, selected King
as a promising energetic and able young man, 81"
to write series of articles on The great SOUTH "
for Scribnet's monthly in 1873. King travelled all
through the South In search of DATA, and among
other places visited New Orleans. Here he be-
came acquainted with Mr. Gable and was so i'm.
pressed with the atter's talent that he took it up
on himself to forward some of Mr. Cables manu-
scripts to DR. Holland with the strongest kind of
recommendation. In this way the author Of "Old
Creole days" came before the public.
