Dublin, May 31.-A notable career
closed last night, when after long and
painful illness Michael Davitt died
peacefully at IL o'clock In the presence
of his eldest son Michael and his two
daughters, woh had devotedly attended
him through his illness, and many Of
his most intimate friends, including
John Dillon. Shortly before his death
Father Hatton had been with him. Mrs
Davitt, who had been in constant at
tendance on her husband until few
days ago, when she herself was taken
i'll, lies PROSTATE in the same hospital,
too weak to leave her room. She has
not yet been informed of her husbands
death.
It is, stated that Mr.. Davitt left a
written message, but If so it's purport
has has not TRANSFERRED. The greatest
sympathy has been displayed by all
classes Of society during Mr.. Dayitt's
illness. Yesterday the hospital was be-
sieged by anxious inquirers. John E..
Redpond, leader Of the Irish party in
parliament, was. a frequent inquirer by
telephone from the house of commons
and gave up his proposed continental
trip during the Whitsuntide holidays
owing to the condition of his friend, the
father of the Irish Land league. After
q last rally Mr. Davitt was able to
speak to those at his bedside, but soon
showed that he was losing ground.
Among the last callers at the hospital
last night were Lord Hemphill, on be-
half of the earl of Aberdeen, lord lieu
tenant Of Ireland, and the countess of
Aberdeen.
Left Parliament In 1899.
Mr.. Davitt retired from the represen-
tation of South Mayo in parliament in
1888, but to the last took keen inter-
est in the politics Of his country.
Death was due to blood poisoning,
which followed two operations for ne
crosis of the jaw bone and spread so
rapidly that all efforts to stay its
course were unayailing.
Davitt's Life EventfuI.
Michael Davitt spent much Of his
life in prison as penalty for his VIC
lent opposition to landlordism in Ire.
land and his outspoken championship
Of home rule. Nine years, in many
small terms, he served at various times
as result of his frequent clashes
:, with English authority. Born March
Is, 1916, in Straide, county Mayo, OF
an Irish peasant father and an Ameri-
can born mother, he and his family
were evicted from their cottage when
he was but Is years old. They went
to Lancashire and Davitt was employed
in cotton mill. Six years later he
lost an arm in the machinery.
In Revolutionary Movement.
In 1866 he joined the Irish reyolu
tionary movement, was captured, and
spent seven and half years in prison
for ''treason-felony." Released on a
ticket of leave, he visited America. Re
turning, he joined Parnell in organic
ing the Land league. His fiery speeches
brought him another weeks imprison
ment.
He made tour of America in 1881
but returned suddenly to Ireland wher
the prosecution of the league began
He was again arrested as ticket Of
leave man and served fifteen months
