because there was some talk Of cut

ZACH McGHEE GROWS WEAKER
Condition Alarms Friends - Little
EncOuragement from Physicians.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Friends Of
Mr.. Zach McGhee, for several years
the Washington correspondent Of the
Columbia State, are considerably
alarmed at the fact that his condition
shows no Improvement. About six
weeks ago he was takea i'll with stom-
ach and blood troubles, and at first he
believed that it was only a tempor-
ary character. Since that time, how
ever, he has been growing gradually
weaker and his friends are now very
apprehensive.
Both of Mr.. McGhee's sisters. Misses
Helen and Mary McGhee, are with
him, and Senators Tillman aad Smith
and several members Of the South
Carolina delegation in the House have
been frequent visitors at his apart
ments at the Brunswick. While those
who called to ask after Mr.. McGhee
today are hopeful that he may i'm
prove, attending physicians do not
throw out much encouragement.

ROMANCE OF OWEN KILDARE
East Side Orphan Ne,ysie and Prize
Fighter Became an Author Of Note.
Through WoInan's Love.

Owen Kildare, who wrote NV
Mamie Rose, and who was sometimes
called the "Bowery Kipliag," died last
week at the Manhattan state hospital.
Beyond question, he was one of the
most remarkable of all the remark
able men who have come out O. the
tenements. My Mamie Rose" the
work which made his reputation. was
an autobiography Of his rise from il
llteracy to the position of a man who
earned his living by writing. and it
may truly be said that the widest
flights Of imagination could not have
framed more original story. At 80
Kildare could not read or write. He
was prizefighter, bar tender and
"bouncer" by profession, His only
friends were the men and women of
the BOwery. Then, by a romatic meet
ing with young school teacher,
whom he saved from the insults of
a gang Of his own friends, the course
Of his life was entirely changed.
or course, he was not to blame for
his early life. He was born in 1854 on
the top floor of tenement in Cath
arine-st. His father was Irish and
his mother was French. She died
when he was born; his father had
been dead three months. What would
have become of the child is net pleas
ant to contemplate had it lot been
for kindhearted Irish couple on the
floor below. When Kildare was seven
years old, he received his first pair Of
shoes and on that same December
night, when snow covered Catherine
st. AID the Bowery, his drunken foster
father took the shoes from his feet
and kicked him out into the street.
Near midnight he crept back to the
door and felt about in the darkness,
because he knew the love of Mary
McNulty, who, when his own mother
was dying, had refused to allow him
to be taken to an institution" The
shoes were there, although it had cost
her a beating to recover them for
him.
An hour later. he was in Park Row
warming himself in the steam which
came up through the sidewalk graf
ings from the press rooms of the
newspaper buildings. While he shiv-
cred in the dim. light, boy, little old
er than himself approached.

tering the brain. Smith was shot in

ing through The neck. The testimony
and circumstances indicate that Rlr-
ers fired the first shot

old and leaves a widow and two
children.

his wife and three children are liv-
ing.
Smith was arrested and Is In Jail.
The coroner's jury returned the for
NAL verdict.

necessarily fatal. The two men, with
other friends. had been in the room
several times during the day and all
had been drinking. A two-gallon jug,
partly filed with corn whiskey. was
found In the room.

and his new-found friend was Little
Tim" Sullivan.
In seven years, Owen Kildare was
the champion of the Park Row, new
sies," and was rapidly developing
into a pugilist of merit. Two years
more added weight to his body and
gave his figure time to knit and he
graduated from the ranks of the
'newsies" to become a full-f1edged
prize fighter.
One Of the first places he worked in
was Steve" Brodie's dive, on the
Bowery, and after that he became
"bouncer" in the dance hall kept by
Fatty Flynn, an ex-convict, at No.
34' Bond street. In those days one
Of Kildare's best friends was a youth
known as skinny" Mccarthy, who
was no better and no worse than him.
self. They passed a good part Of their
time loafing just outside the salooas,
and the principal diversion they had
at such times was insulting any Wo-
man who happened to pass by. One
day when Kildare ald skinny" and
a few more Of their kind were stand =
ing in front Of one Of their favorite
haunts, Kildare idly listening to the
remarks of his companions, he sud-
denly heard a woman say: AID you
are menu
He looked around and saw a slend-
er girl with a look Of contempt on
her face, staring back at skinny"
McCarthy's flushed face. Why he did
1t, he did not know, but before Skin
ay' had a chance to give voice to the
words on his lips, Kildare knocked
him down. Then, with a sweep of his
arm, he cleared a space around the
girl. and stepped to her side.
I'D better walk with you a little
way" he said gruffly.
He walked with her t. her door,
and on the way she drew from him his
name and an account Of his life. Her
name she said was Marie Rose Deer
ing, ald she was a school teacher.
Without her knowing it, he would fol-
low her about the East Side to see
that she did not come to harm. But
finally one day he plucked up cour-
age to station himself in her path
when she was on her way home from
school. To his vast astonishment she
stopped and said:
How do you do, Mr.. Kildare?"
