correspondent of the Cork Examiner,
when his death became known to the
Irish Parliamentary party in the Eng
lish House of Commons there was more
grief than there has been over the
death of any Irishman since that OF
Archbishop Croke. When layman,
without any effort on his own part
beyond doing what he has regarded as
his duty, could impress the representa-
tives of his country so as to be re-
membered with the great Archbishop
of Cashel, he certainly left behind him
the best monument to which any Irish
man can aspire.
To those of Irish blood in America
who knew "Tom" Barry-some of
them intimately and all Of them favor
ably-his death recalls the words of
our own Irish poet, O'Reilly, regarding
Wendell Phillips:
"What shall we mourn? For the pros
trate tree that shelters the green
young wood?
For the fallen cliff that fronted the sea
and guarded the fields from the
flood?
For the eagle that died in the tempest.
afar from its eyrie's brood?
No. tears are never for those who die
with their face to the duty done,
But we mourn for the fedgelings left

should do this. But, in larger sense,
we cannot dedicate-we cannot conse-
crate-we cannot hallow-this ground
The brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here, have consecrated it far
above our poor power to add or detract.
The world will little note nor long
remember what we say here, but it can
never forget what they did here.

work which they who fought here have
thus far so nobly advanced. 1t is
rather for us to be here dedicated to
the great task remaining before us
that from these honorcd dead we take
increased devotion to that cause for
which they gave the last full measure
of devotion: that we here highly re-
solve that these dead shall not have
died in vain; that this nation, under
God, shall have a new birth of freedom:
and that government of the people, by
the people. for the people. shall not
perish from the earth.''
This noble utterance seemed some
how to fail in commanding the atten-
ton of those who heard it. The New
York correspondents wrote much about
dead horses vet unburied on the field;
the representative of the New York
Tribune began his story with the re-
markable statement that ''the eventful
morning has at last dawned," but had
little to say of President Lincoln in it.
The New York Times correspondent
wrote: 1.-The dedication ceremonies

After the exercises ut the cemetery
President Lincoln walked with John
Burns, already mentioned, to church
in the town, where Lieutenant-G Cover
nor Anderson of Ohio delivered an adj
dress to the Ohio and other delega-
tons. That evening every one went
away, and the New York Times cor
respondent made the burden of his sto-
ry the train congestion caused by the
lnilroading of 10000 people out of Get
tysburg that night. If one omits that
remarkable introduction of the Tribune

Bend, Nebraska, March 2, 1904 He
lived in the vicinity of Dudley until the,
prime of his manhood. About seven
teen years ago he went to Missouri to
aid in the construction of the Mijwa1,.

an island in the Platte river where
game abounds. During the afternoon
the river became partly opened. shut
ting off his return to land on the north
When he did not return in the evening
searching parties started to look for
him. He was located the following
Friday with a glass but could not be
reached until Saturday. No one knows
what happened when he retraced his
steps to the point where there was no
longer any solid footing. No one will
ever know how many times he may
have shouted vainly across the short
space of 100 yards, more or less, which
separated him from a place of safety.
The finding Of Mr.. Roberts coat and
boots on the island indicates that he
had taken them off and endeavored to
swim to the north bank. Finding the
effort too great he had gotten on q
large piece of ice and with pole had
attempted to push himself ashore.
The raging torrent and drifting ice
soon got the raft beyond his control.
1t became entangled among some will
lows where he was unable to remove
it. He must have been so exhausted
and thoroughly chilled that the pitiless
winter element found him an easy
prey. In death he had clasped the gun
which had given him so many hours
of pleasure, and it was found lying par
TALLY across his body. The remains
were brought to Dudley for interment.

Columbia church by Rev. Bruce.
