NOTED AUTHOR DEAD.
Edward Bellamy, Who Wrote "Look-
Ing backward" Passes Away
His Career.

Springfield, Mass, May 23.-Edward
Bellamy, author of Looking Back
ward" Equality" etc, died at his
home in Chicopee Falls at an early hour
Sunday morning.
Edward Bellamy was born at Chicopee
Falls March 26. 1850, and was the third son
of Rev. r.. Il. Bellamy. for 35 years pas
tor OF the Baptist church of Chicopee
Falls After finishing course at Union
college he completed his education by a
year of European travel and study. BY
the study of law he was. at q years OF
age, admitted to the bar OF Hampden coun-
ty, Mass. From the legal profession he
went into journalism.
1t was in 1883 that his famous book Look
ing Backward" was published, the sale OF
which up to the present time is over 450, 900
copies in America and probably over half
a million copies have been sold in England
and other Foreign countries. Looking
Backward" has been translated into Ger
man, French, Russian, Italian. Arabic, Bull
garian and several other languages. Ii is
stated that Emperor William purchased TO-
600 copies of Looking Backward" which
he distributed among the students and
working classes of Germany. His reason
for so doing, If this is really true, is APP
parent TO those conversant with German
politics.
December 80, 1891, Mr.. Bethany, being con-
WINGED that 1t was his duty to supplement
his efforts in Looking Backward by edu-
eating the people toward reform In govern
ment, issued the first number of the New
Nation, a paper destined to become the
most quoted and influential political or evo-
lutionary journal in the world. An idea
of its influence may be judged from the
fact that since the New Nation was started
over $50 papers devoted to nationalism have
been launched In the United States, Can
ada and Mexico. and thousands of papers
through the direct Inspiration OF the New
Nation have started departments devoted
20 political reform. which are conducted
and edited from the writings of Mr.. Bel
amy in the New Nation and Looking
Backward."l

At the battle of Winchester my mas
ter and /, fighting in the thickest of the
fray, engaged a handsome confederate
officer and were overmatched. Down
fell Col. Carroll, his glazing eyes re-
garding me longingly as my captor bore
me away. Much against my will served
him for awhile, and though swords re-
gard it their duty to serve their owners
regardless of the cause they espouse, it
wentagainst the grain to strike at those
who wore the union blue. But my new
master was every inch a soldier and a
manly fellow. True hearts beat as
nobly under confederate gray as under
union blue. Thank God that the noblest
of them all beat together in loyalty
now! The fraternity of truly noble
souls asserted itself upon occasion, even
then.
One day about four weeks after my
capture, Col. Poindexter bore me on a
round of visits through the hospitals.

pale faces thereon being those Of union

erect an efficient barrier against mort
cages for lifetime. / heard him say
after he paid Old Moncybags his claim,
that he was strongly tempted to hit
him with the fiat of the sword which
hung on the wall and then throw him
out of the window. / wish he had, for
/ should like to have had share in the
skirmish. His good mother rebuked
him for the words, but thought saw
q CLEAN of approval in his fathers eyes,
though he too was a fairly good Chris
tan under ordinary circumstances.
And so the cloud over the little home
lifted. Who was it that said: "At
esentime there shall be light?" In
life's dim twilight the old people are
happy and safe once more.
When Memorial day comes shall be
worn again by the honored commander
of the G. A. II. post as the members
march proudly under their tattered bat
tie flag to decorate the graves of their
dead. Upon those grassy affairs we will
renew our vows of fidelity to the old
flag and the union it gloriously repre-
sents. Already arrangements have been
made with American friends at Havana,
and silken flag with flowers in pro-
fusion will lie on the grave of the young
soldier l served, sleeping peacefully
there with more than 200 comrades
who wore the blue. In Gods good time,
perhaps in 1899, soldiers of the Cuban
republic, then fully established, may
plant the flags and scatter the flowers
on those honored graves.
And on the evening of Memorial day
here we are to have wedding. Louis
Carroll, the returned Klondker, will
marry Virginia Secession Poindexter,
daughter of the man who once captured
me from her father-in-law. Captor and
captured will be there, and the whole
squad will be union to the core. The
dainty little maiden will practice what
she breaches by her union. with the
son of the man in blue, and the old uni
form will be brought out for the occa-
sion, my honored self hanging as of old
near the soldiers side. The old soldiers
will each wear blue and gray; blue in
faded uniforms, gray in boards and hair.
And over the alcove in which the happy
pair stand to be wed will futter the
tattered remnant of the old battle flag.
Alas, of the old comrades am the
only one who looks as young as ever. l
hope to fight the enemies of my country
hundreds of years after all of you who
read this sleep with the silent majority
under the sod. Shall we meet in Heav-
en-? st. John in Revelations speaks of
flaming swords there, and of faunt-
ing blades. Be that as it may, "All's
well that ends we'll" / leave those l
love in the happy light which illumines
their radiant faces as result of the
reunion and the wedding, the light of
undying affection which arches like a
halo over the altar of home. My simple
story is ended. May it's lessons live in
human hearts for many years to come.
