Sir Edwin Arnold, one Of the Oldest
of England's literary and journalistic
knights, is dead of old age, after suf-
fering for years from partial paraly-
sis. AS poet, Orientalist, and news
paper writer he had been easily in
the fore front OF literary circles for
a full quarter of a century His work
was almost as widely known In Amer
icA as in England, and his fame had
spread to the four corners Of the
world. Even within the last month
articles from his pen on Japan and
the crisis in the far East have been
published in the American papers.
Sir Edwin always had soft spot in
his heart for the mystic East, from
which he got his third wife, and which
inspired much Of his better work. He
was an authority on every modern
Oriental nation, and was never tired OF
singing the praises of the hardy jap
anese, and especially his Japanese
wife, whose gentle disposition has
done much to mold English public
opinion and bring it to the active sup
port Of the Mikado's claims in the
present war with Russia.
Sir Edwin was born June 10, 1852.

September, 1878, and the finished epic
in eight books was put in the hands

Sir Edwin was knlghted by Queen

Bombay university and of the Royal
Asiatic society, officer Of the White
