DEATH OF 1AFcAD1o HEARN.
Career of Noted Writer on Japan and
It's Peop1e

Lafcadio Hearn, the well-known author,
whose death at Tokyo on Monday from
heart disease was printed in yesterday
Star, succeeded to a greater extent proba-
bly,, than any other occidental In bridging
the gulf which separates east and west. If
ever westerner understood the Japanese
it was he, and yet the intimate sympathy
he possessed for their literature, their art
and their ideals was not the result of early
association 1t was quite late in life that
he moved to Japan and made his home
there. and his determination to go there
was the result of pure accident
Lafcadio Hearn was born In the Ionian
Isles in 1850. Hearn's mother was the
daughter of Greek mountaineers. Col.
Hearn stole her from her family, but not
until her seven brothers had set upon him
with daggers on a lonely road and left
him for dead. Weeks afterward, when the
girl heard that he still lived, she fled to
him and they were married. His father
was an Irish officer in the English army.
When he was sixteen years old he was
sent to France to be educated and three
came to America.
In short time he learned to write and
speak English perfectly, and before long he
obtained employment on newspaper in
Cincinnati. Then he went to New Orleans.
1t was his TRANSACTIONS from Theophile Gau-
tier which first drew the attention of the
literary world to him. Here. discerning
critics said. was writer in English with
all the delicacy and subtlety of the French
master, a word painter from whom great
things were to be expected.
In 1887 Hearn, for whom the tropics al.
ways had fascination, went to the West
Indies, and after remaining there two years
he came to- New York. Afterward q visit
to Japan decided him that there was the
country in which he wished to live. He ac-
cepted a professorship at the Imperial Uni
