OBITUARY SKETCH.
Written for THE HERALD.

written Tor IHE HERALD.
John O'Farrell Clarke, the sub
ject of this sketch, whose remains
were laid to rest this morning in
the cemetery, after the solemn rites
of the Catholic church had been per
formed, was better known through
out the border states of Mexico than
on this side of the Rio Grande. He
settled in Matamoros prior to the
breaking out of the war between
MexicO-and the United States, and,
as a British subject, was permitted
to remain in that city during the
troublous times, when all the Ameri-
cans were compelled to evacuate.
He opened a mercantile establish
ment in Matamoros, known as the
"Pajaro Negro" and was for many
years a successful merchant. He
was a man of generous impulses
and OF a convivial temperament,
which served to endear him to his
many friends.
The advent of railroad construc-
ton in Mexico diverted trade to
other channels, and Matamoros.
the Queen of the Border, lost the
bulk of the trade that had enriched
her, and many of her merchants
abandoned business for lack of pa
tronage. Among these was Don
Juan Clarke, who retired on small
competence, which for years sup
ported him; but vicissitudes swept
away most of the remnants of his
capital, and he had for some time
been living on small an
nuity.
He was born in the county of
Longford, Ireland, in 1919, and was
50 years of age. His brother Michael,
who resides in Longford. is several
years his junior. John was educat-
ed in a theological college. He was
an ardent student, and kept we'll in
touch with current events of the
day, happening both in this coun-
try and in Europe. An accident
occasioned by a fall about two
weeks ago, confined him to the
house, since which time, he failed
rapidly, and Yesterday at 1:45 p.
w., he breathed his last. Poor Don
Juanl May ne rest in peace.

News of the postponement of the

larger exhibits will be the rule,
