sleep. BY kneading the place so as to

case the head of the family had lived in
the district for forty years and he told
Big Bill that the reason he could no,
nav his rent was because an iron foun-
dry, where he worked, had moved out oi
the neighborhood and had put him out OF
work.
Never mind" said Devery, better
times are coming. and you'll see the day
that the rich viii divide with the poor.
The reason they don't do it now is be-
cause they don't know that hundreds OF
people are starving right here in New

MIR. PAUL VAN DER
VO0RT Dies In CUBA
Past Commander Grand
Amy of Republic.
No One in United States Knew of His
Illness-In Railway Mail
Service.

der Wort, past commander -in-chief OF
the Grand Army of the Republic. at his
home In Puerto Principe, Cuba, was re-
ceived yesterday by Senior Vice Com
mander-in- Chief McElroy. of this city.
No one in the United States knew OF
General Van der Voort's Illness, and his
friends were consequently much shocked.
General Van der Wort enlisted for
three months service in the Sixty eighth
Illinois Infantry at the outbreak OF the
war, when he was not quite sixteen years
Of age. He re-enlisted in Company VI,
Sixty seventh Illinois Regiment, and
served with his regiment in the Ninth

Both he and Colonel McEroy were
&c Andersonville together. He was dis
charged as sergeant on August l. 1865.
General Van der WORT entered the
railway mail service at the close of the
war, and in 1874 he was promoted to be
chief clerk. with his headquarters in
Omaha. He had much to do with max
ing the service successful in the States
OF Nebraska. Colorado. Wyoming. Mon
tana, Idaho. Utah, and South Dakota.
Held Positions of Trust.
He held his position until 1884, when
he was removed by Postmaster General
Gresham. He afterward held many po-
sitions of trust with various Western
railroads.
In 1899 he went to Cuba TO found there
a communal colony, but it did not pros
per and money was lost in the under
taking
In 1882, at Baltimore, the sixteenth
annual encampmenu OF the Grand Army
Of the Republic elected HIM commander
in-chief
General Van der WORT is survived by
a widow and four children. Interment
will be made in Cuba. and the body
brought TO The United States later.
