Explosives are now beginning to make the life of President Balmaceda about as perilously uncertain as that of the Russian czar. Hawaii is now said to be kicking for a republican form of government. It is to be hoped they will not think it necessary to kill off all of the present government in order to get it. If any bloomin’ “idjut” on this continent can tell the country why the Washington Critic has added to its name the word Record he takes the browu bun without further dispute. That proposed wedding of New York and Brooklyn has been indefinitely postponed. Dwelling together in harmony with only one name between them is just a little more than they can agree to. Political pressure has become so great that the divorced wife of King Milan is compelled to leave Bsrvia. Until her son reigns independent of the regents she can not expect a welcome in Belgrade. Kaiser Wilhelm is said to hare shed tears over the bier of the great Von Moltke. Well he might. His best and ablest friend ■was taken from him. But there is no record of the grim features of Bismarck relaxing. Conviction seems to be the fate of Capt. Plenty Horses, who is standing trial in South Dakota for killing Lieut. Casey. Whatever the verdict may be the Indian clearly thought he had a right to kill a man thought to be a spy. Firebrand Foraker vows that he is sorry he hurt the tender sensibilities of the Har rison people by telling the republican clubs what Blaine is doing in the way of adminis tration. At the same time he is not modi fying his statements to any remarkable ex tent. It takes a woman to do a thing that is positively barbarous. Not long since an Illinois schoolmnrm was peremptorily dis missed for tying the hands of two refrac tory children to a stovepipe through which a bla*9 was roaring. Womanly gentleness ■ometimes takes a queer turn. Competitors of Andrew Carnegie in New "York talk of making open war upon the Pittsburg ironmaster because of certain of his energetic business methods that con flict with their interests. But they are not likely to do the great iron magnate much harm. He is far too strong for them all put together. Western dealers and operators are pre dieting an enormous yield of wheat this year. They bass their favorable estimates upon the great alterations in the crop pros pects consequent upon the recent favorable weather. That is a great thiag for the farmer, but it bears down hard upon the man who has been buying long.

They are id rather an ugly temper about the arbi trary restrictions plaited upon them by the English government and the spirit of insur rection would bo easily influenced to open ’evolt by the slightest encouragement from l** French. la It a Settled Fact? In its last issue Frank Leslie's Illustrated Paper, of which Mr. Russell Harrison, the President's son. is one of the owners, says: “It is a violation of no confidence to say that Secretary Blaine is not a candidate for tne republican nomination for the presi dency next year. That is a settled fact. Not only is Mr. Blaine not a candidate, but under no circumstances will he consent to the use of bis name. If there seems to tie any dou it in the mind at the public la reference to this matter Mr. Blaine will, in due time and in bis on way, utterly, finally and absolutely dispel that doubt. He is ready to do so now.” It would be interesting to hoar what Mr Blaine has to say about tbi. And it is diffi cult to see bow he can avoid laying some thing. Prank Leslie's Illustrated Paper is understood to be directed by the P: evi dent's son, and nothing so positive relative to Mr. Blaine's purposes would have ap peared in its columns under the circum stances unless it was authorized by Mr. Blaine or was intended to force him to state what bis purpose is. But if Mr. Blaine does not intend to per mit his name to be presented to the nom inating convention in 1592, is it not rather strange that he does not restrain the en thusiasm of his friends, who, by their speeches and actions, strengthen the im pression that he is paving the way for his nomination? At the meeting of the Repub lican National Longue in Cincinnati the other day that part of ex-Gov. Foraker’s speech in which praise for all that is worthy of commendation in President Harrison’s administration was given to Mr. Blaine was enthusiastically applauded. What did the applause mean ? It can hardly tie said that it meant nothing more than that Mr. Rlaine has a strong hold upon his party, because it was called forth by a compli ment to Mr. Blaine that was intended to belittle the President. Applause under such circumstances can only be construed to mean that In the estimation of leading republicans Mr. Blaine is the real leader of his party. In the Washington dispatches recently there have been statements that Dudley, Clarkson and other republicans of promi nence have been having conferences with Mr. Blaine with the view of agreeing upon a course of action for him to pucsue. All of these things tend to convince the public that Mr. Blaine has not yet abandoned his presidential aspirations. The publication in Mr. Harrison's paper may, therefore, be intended to force Mr. Blaine to make public his purpose at once. If he intends to support the President for a renomination the President’s friends would like him to say so, and if he does not, but is working for his own nomination, they would like him to make the fact known, and get out of the cabinet. It may be reasonably expected, therefore, that within a few days Mr. Blaine will give sime intimation of what his purpose is. Continued Biience on his part in the face of suqh an uuthori; ati ve announcement as that in Mr. Harrison’s paper would hardly be fair to his friends. If he does not intend to accept the nomination under any circum stances they are certainly entitled to know it A Grain Gambler’s Career. It is estimated that not more than 10 per cent of those who enter mercantile life re tire from business with a fortune. It is doubtful if the percentage of those who gamble in stocks, grain and cotton and re tire with fortunes is as large. Bpeculating in stocks and futures is a quick way of making money and a quicker way to lose it For a long time one of the most conspicu ous speculators in grain in the whole coun try was Benjamin P. Hutchison of Chicago, better known as “Old Hutch.” Not very long ago his wealth was estimated ail the way from $5,000,000 to $30,000,000. On Wednesday, according to the Chicago dis patches, he left Chicago for some point be tween that city and Pensacola, Fla., for the reason that he could not meet bis obliga tions. His vast fortune has passed into other hands, and had ho not in the days of his prosperity settled a large sum upon his wife he would be virtually penniless. His desire to speculate was so great that he could not resist it. Many months ago it became evident to his sons, who are promi nent business men in Chicago, that luck was against him, and that he was rapidly losing bin wealth. They tried to got him to give up speculation and spend the remainder of his days quietly and in the enjoy ment of domestic life. He yielded to their wishes for a time, and for Reveral months be was not Been in his usual haunts. But the ruling passion of his life was stronger than bis will, and he began speculating again. He will make no more bets, however, on the future prioee of wheat and corn, unless his wife supplies him from the money put apart for her use. And if she is a wise woman she will keep what she has, how ever earnestly her husband may plead for it. She knows that a few hundred thous and dollars would not remain long with such a “plunger” as “Old Hutch” if luck should be against him. “Old Hutch” will be remembered a long time as one of the most remarkable men who ever operated on the Chicago Board of Trade. For years he ruled it, sending prices up and down as he pleased. He started in life with nothing but good health aud a great deal of native shrewd ness. Fifty years ago he was emoloyeJ in a small grocery store in North Heading, N. H., at s2oa year, but he did not remaiu there long. Forty years ago he went to Milwaukee and was successful in business there. After the war he began speculating in Chicago, and in 1887 was the leading op erator in grain in that city. Jt took him twenty years to accumulate the millions which he lost in less than two. Jn an odd interval of perplexity the New York Press artist has invented a goddess to represent the Republican party. Though rather an odd-looking person she is made to look young, through some error. Any typ ical figure intended to represent the Repub lican party should appear in the form of an old woman. But this hysterical female is made to shout, “We have liberated the slave, and now we shall free the laborer I” and she offers her left haud to Mr. Billy Mc- Kinley, who gazes at her in coy amaze ment, with a high tariff grin upon his visage. Manifestly Headsman Clarkson believes in tbe efficacy of the newspaper as a power in politics, and he it after a good one with all bis might. But Cbioago aud St. Louis seem to have “raised him out,” as it were. If he doesn’t hustle around be will not find an opening in timo for the forthcoming presidential campaign. Why doess’t be go In and help Elder Kditorist Fienk Shepard to make a decent newspaper out of the Wail of DistressT Very clearly the elder lias a great deal more theu he can menage. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. MAY 2, IS9I. I Blaine’s Dilemma Ths offer of the Englnh government to ; join this government to prevent the killing of any seals in Bering sea or on the sea islands this season place* Mr. Blaine in a rather uncomfortable position. And yet he has been insisting all along that the poach ing of the Canadian seal catchers in Bering sea was rapidly exterminating the seals, and pretending that the main purpose cf his contention was to place the taking of seals under such restrictions that an annual supply of seal skins would be obtained with out dar ger of exterminating the seals. And the reason Mr. Blaine is uncomforta ble is said to be that the chief members of the company which has the contract with the government for killing seals on the islands in Bering sea are Stephen Elkins and D. O. Miils, two very prominent repub licans who are great friends of his. It seems that Elkins and Mill* are extremely anxious to raid the sea islands this season and kill ali the seals they can They have incurred considerable expense in providing a plant Mr the seal killing business, and they want to get their money back. If Mr. Blaine should accept the proposition of the English government it might be a longtime before they would have a chance to kill seals. Indeed, complications might arise which would virtually render their contract of little or no value. If theoompauv of Elkins and Mills get any seals this season their sealing fleet will have to start for the sea islands by May 15. It is necessary for Mr. Blaine to determine quickly, therefore, whether this govern ment will join that of England and prevent any seals from being killed tins seas >n. And there does not seem to lie anything unfair in the proposition to stop the killing of seals for a year. This government would not give up any of its claim to the seals by agreeing to it. It would be understood, nf course, that the agreement should not be construed to the disadvantage of either party. If Mr. Blaine should reject the proposi tion he would place himself in the position of refusing what he has all along been ask ing for. Indeed, the burden of his latest correspondence in the Bering sea contro versy is that his chief purpose is to place ths killing of seaD under such regulations as will prevent their extermination. In view of what he has said, a letter rejecting the proposition would not make a very favorable impression, either in this country or Europe. Inadequate Divorce iiawe. Divorce laws in England appear to be about as unevenly balanced as everything else there pertaining to the institution of marriage. Under the recent decision in the Clitheroi divorce case, wherein the court held that no woman is compelled to live with her husband, many worthy but ill-used wives who are forced into the divorce court are likely to be deprived of their right to alimony. Therein a hardship will be inflicted. On the faith of that decision the magis trates have lately shown a disposition to dismiss complaints of this character, and especially to refuse alimony, on the grouud that, since a woman is not legally com pelled to remain with a cruel husbaud, any submission to violence is essentially volun tary. Urging that a legislative remedy for the defect is not necessary simply because, as the lord high chancellor recently put it, when the case was presented before the House of Lord*, “every British subject en joys tbe privilege of applying to a high court of justice for a mandamus compelling magistrates to act,” is absurd upon the face of it. So does every British subject enjoy the privilege of owning a house and lot. But mauy of them find the privilege rather hard to realize, because of “circumstances over which they have no control.” Such a suggestion from the ohanoellor ap plied to penniless women is about on a par with the medical practitioner who should prescribe a trip to Europe for an invalid pauper. Too manj- of the laws in all countries are just as impractical and beyond the reach of those who need them most. Some of the unavailing absurdities of the English divorce laws were once very point edly presented by the witty Lord Maule when he was called upon to pronouuce sen tence in a bigamy case upon a man whoso dissolute wife had abandoned him for several years before his remarriage. After stating with great precision of de tail that the accused should first have brought an action for crim. ran. in a civil court, and then another for divorce in an ecclesiastical court, and finally obtained a private act of parliament dissolving his first and permitting him to contract a sec ond marriage, the eminent jurist concluded: “You will probably reply that this would have cost you LI,OOO and that you are not worth a thousand pence. But let me tell you, prisoner at the bar, that this is no ex cuse, and that in England the law is the same for the poor as for the rich.” • Whi!e the American laws are rarely so cumbersome as the average British statute, they frequently prove quite as absurdly in adequate to the purposes for which they were devised. Sometimes the dispatches contain very incredible stories. Recently one stated that a violent New York boiler exploded at Oswego and blow the engineer something more t an a thousand foot through the atmosphere, carrying one of his legs fully 150 feet farther than the balance of his body. But his imperturbably industrious watch Continued to go right along. Whether his necktie was disarranged is not stated. Poor “Old Hutch” is said to have been “done up” at last. In the long run his enemies became too much for him, aud the old man is now wandering around nobody knows where. Only for the wise precau tions of bis family in persuading him to settle a part of his Immense fortune on them he would probably now bt penniless. Specu lation and gambling in every form event ually wiud up the best of them if they stick to it. Milwaukee has erected a statue to Henry Bergh, the friend of tbe dumb animal. It is the ouly instance in which the phi lanthropist has been thus honored. Yet his humane sympathies, that never failed to manifest .themselves in practical protec tion of abused animals, were much more worthy of respect and commemoration than the more noisy bluster of many men who are thus honored. New brooms are said to sweep clean. Possibly that rosy account for the peremp tory order of Mayor Washburn that every gambling den in Chicago shall be closed forthwith. Hereafter tbe public, when bent upon a tilt with the tiger, will be put to tbe inconvenience of walking around to tbe i side dooi for at least two weeks.

During the bight of the stiver excitement in Nevada twenty-live years ago says the Chicago Tr hunt a man named Dexter went into a saloon near the International hotel, in Virginia City. and. addressing the bartender and at the same time flourishing a murderous-looking knife, eaid “I am dying for a drink, and I am out of money. In other words, l want a double Oar reled cocktail speedily, and I want you to hang it up." "We are not doing business in that wav," politely responded the bartender "Teen you don't hang up accounts for poor wayfarers?" "We don’t trust at all." "Well, now, my pretty model of frontier im pertinence, I guess you don’t know who lain. Seems to me your face is familiar to me.” "I don’t care if you are the eovernor of the territory, you can’t have a snifter until you put up 25 cents " "But you don't know me?’ “I don't want to know you if you have no coin.

"Yes, I remember you.” “Now, let’s have a drink.” "No; I never indulge at other people’s ex pense." I admire you. And, as you will not crook the elbow with me. I will drink with you.” "No; it’s against the rules of this establish ment. ’’ “Do you mean to say I am no gentleman?” “1 mean to say that you can get nothing to drink here unless you pay for it.” "That settles it. Now, [am going to pin you to the wall with this knife.” And, simu taneously. he hurled his big knife at the bartender with such violence that it went clean through his victim and actifally pinned him to the wa 1, killing him instantly. He then took a full glass of liquor, pulled the bloody knire out of tne bartender s body, and walked leisurely out of the front door. An old woman who had been scrubbing the floor at once gave an alarm and the murderer was quickly arrested. An hour afterward a lot of men got together, purchased a piece of rope, and proceeded toward Dexter's place of im pri-onment, but were overtaken by a large number of l,aw and Order men. with Lucius Hermann (lately deceased in San Francisco) at their head, woo compelled the vigilantes to permit the law to take its course. The body of Law and Order men saw to it that the trial should take place at once, of course, and its members stood guard over the murderer and escorted him through the streets by turns.) One dav the vigilantes attempted to break into the hollow square, in the center of which was the prisoner, on one side of whom was Lucius Herrman and on the other Critten don Thornton. After the escort, hsd succeeded in resisting the would-be-lvnchers the prisoner, trembling from bead to foot, looked up at Mr. Herrman and said: "Do you know, sir, I thought my time had come ?” "Well, it was a close call. It was a bad crowd, sir." "You bet it was' There were a number of men in that crowd who would nave thought nothing of killing me in cold blood.” And a few days later they did kill him, and in cold blood, for he was found guilty and promptly executed. Disobliging Passengers. “I had a particularly weird sort of experience the other day,” said Noodles to the Washington Star last evening at the Platypus Club. “I was invited to spend the first week In Lent with some friends of mine who are old-fashioned people and live in the country, some little dis tance from a city not a thousand miles from here. They are very hospitable folks, and T always have a good time when I go there; the girls are jolly, there are plenty of horses, and some shooting is to be found in the neighbor hood. On other occasions they have sent into town and fetched me out to their place, bnt just this once it happened that their colored coach man was sick, and so they directed me to take the street car out as far as the little suburban postofflee, where I could meet the stage or om nibos which stopped there regularly for the mail, thence pursuing the old turnpike road to my destination. "I knew the way very well, having traversed the route often In the family carriage. As in structed, I took the car as far as the postofflee and waited there for the omnibus to come by. I was told that it would arrive within twenty minutes. A little more than that time had elapsed when the vehicle rolled up in front of the door and the driver, jumping off his perch, came in to get the mail. 1 picko 1 up my traps and, going out into the road, jumped upon the back step of the stage and tried to open the door, which was at the rear, for the purpose of entering Not succeeding, after repeated ef forts, I shouted to the passengers inside to let me in, for the air was cold and biting. To my surprise none of them made any response. “ ‘Open the door!’ 1 cried, ‘I want to get in.’ “Still not one of than made a motion. All the seats were full, as well as I could make out through the little window, but there was room enough for standing, and I was determined to obtain admittance. “ 'Let me in!’ I shouted again, banging on the door; but no attention was paid, and the pas senger nearest the window -a villainous-looking person, by the nay grinned exa3peratingly. At that moment the driver of the ’bus came out of the postofflee with hi# bag of mail “’Wot’sup, Chappie? said he impertinently. “ ‘I can't get in.’ I replied. “ ‘You're in hard luck.’ said the driver. " ‘The other passengers won’t open the door.’ " ‘They can t,’ said the driver. “ ‘Why not?’ “ ‘Because they’re chained together,’ said the driver.’ "Chained together?’ "Yes,’ said the driver.

The reg'lar turpike bus will be along in five minutes, but I’ll give you a ride if you like.’ "I preferred to wait for the ’bus, and now, fellows, since that has been rather a dry storv, what will you take next in the liquid way?" She Shouted “Scat!" In traveling by railway It is always interesting to note the greetings and good-bys indulged tn by the goerw and comers at the stations. They range all the way From grave to gay. From lively to Bevere. Some are pathetic and some are amusing. A commercial tiaveler told a Chicago Herald re porter of one of the latter he witnessed quite recently on a business trip. It happened at a little town in lowa A respectable elderly gen tleman bad accompanied his daughter, who was going away to college, to the train. He secured a seat for her and then, expecting the tram to start, he went out and stood on the sta tion platform to waive his daughter a good by As the train did not start promptly the daughter raised the car window and chatted with her papa. Presently she saw someone she knew at the other end of the car and hastened to greet her. At that moment a prim old maid came in and took the daughter's place tn the unoccupied seat. The conductor shouted “All aboard and the father, unaware of the important changes that had taken place inside, hurriedly put his face up to the window and Baid. "A parting kiss, my pet!” In another instant the point of a cotton umbrella wa3 thrust from the window, followed by the pas sionate interjection: "Scat, you old gray headed wretch"' The old gentleman seatte'd, and as the tram pulled out be stood looking wonderingly at it as though at a loss to know whether he had lost his mind or had been kicked by a mule. The Onkissod Kiss. From the Chicago Herald. I have kissed the girls a plenty. Aged from one year old to twenty. Kisses better far than honey, I can taste their sweetness yet; B at far dearer than the kisses Given me by kindly misses Is the ever verdant mem'ry of a kiss I did not get. For one winsome little fairy With a grace so light and airy Kept me ever fondly saying; “I'll achieve my purpose yet.” But at length she shyly vanished With the gift for which 1 famished And she left me sadly sighing for the kiss I did not get. Reader, pardon this digression. Does pursuit or does possession The greater pleasure bring* I really cannot say, and yet I've forgotten many misses Who bestowed on me their kisses. But I'll always recollect the girl whose kiss I did not get. Now, of oourse, there is a moral In this simple story for all Those indiscreet young ladies, who will some times much regret That they gave tbeir kisses freely. For they'll find a lover really May remember more than all the reel the kiss he did not get. ITEMS OF INTEREST. Conmisisu excitement prevails on the Armenian frontier owing to the fate of an Armenian girl named Mikirtltcb, who escaped from a Turkish harem at Riza and got as far as the Russian frontier, wheresuewas captured, and. it is sail, carri’d back to Riza and murdered hv being strangled. The girl had b-en kidnaped two years before from her house in Russ an Armenia and sold to a wealthy Moslem at Rizj. When the s’ory be came known the refugee Armenians on the Rus sian side of the border were wit i difficulty re strained from cro-slng the frontier to invade Turkish Armenia. Itis said that the traffic in fe males kidnaped lor Turkish harems still flour ishes in the Russian provinces ad joining Asiatic Turkey and that Russian officials are not guilt less in connection witnit. An amistno story is told of a well known Russian woman who went recently to enjoy the sulphur baths at Tifli. On a particular morn iusr t|}e countess entered, as usual, one of the bathrooms. The water had hardly touched her body, however, when, to her horror, she be gan to turn black. She was so frightened at tile transformation that, upon seeing her re fleetion in the mirror, she fainted The at tendant, who was as greatly startled as her mistress, cried for help The explanation was simple enough. It was disaavered tr.at the countess was accustomed to paint her face, bauds arms and neck daily with a substance containing zinc. On the fatal day the poor woman had neglected to remove the “beautify ing" coat. The zinc combined with the sulphur and natrium of the water and quickly made an African belle out of the white-sxinned bather. A considerable time passed ere the unfortunate woman resumed her natural appearance. James Cummings and Miss Sue Howard adopted a novel way of getting married at In dependence, Mo., recently. After procuring a license from Deputy Recorder Packard the young people drove in a buggy to the First Bap tist church on North Plea-ant street Here the young man got oqt of the buggy and, entering the stu y room of the church and showing the license, told the pastor, the Rev. Mr. Maiden, to f. llow hinj. The minister did so and was some what astonished when the young man got up in his buggv and told the revere and gentleman to proceed with the ceremony. Mr. Jiaideu asked the younz lady if she understood what she was doing, and. on her replying that she did, pro nounced them man and wife. At the conclu sion of these unusual p oeeedings the minister was handed a fee and the newly married couple drove rapidly away. The young people gave their residence as Jackson countv. but no one in Independence had seen then, before or knew anything of them. They offered no explana tion to Mr Maiden, and he asked few questions. Everybody has heard about the dogs and donkeys of Oriental cities, says a writer in St. Nicholas —how the dogs roam about without owners, and how the donkeys bear patiently their many burdens and get only scanty thanks in return But all eastern streets abound in novel and fascinating sights—bright gowns, tiny shops, veiled women wearing wooden sandals, gaunt camels swaying along with rude bells tinkling. From the first, energetic peddlers are conspicuous. If the traveler approaches the Levant by way of Conataetinop e he piling s at once into their favorite haunts. The first night in this great, historic city wi 1 not be forgotten, for the howling of the hungry street-dogs is hardly silenced before the coming of daylight brings out a multitude of these noisy venders, and then sleep is out of the question. One would think they were trying to arouse the people in the next street, to have them all ready for making purchases. Some are shouting in Turkish and some in Greek, ad vertising the excellence of the good things that they have in the high baskets on t; eir backs or on diminu tive mouse-colored donkeys. We look down from the hotel window and watch them pass along or stop for bargaining There are loads of tempting white grapes, rosy peaches, and a profusion of fresh veg-tabies evidently just in from the gardens along the Bosphorus, or those bordering the Sweet Waters beyond the Golden Horn. In all the towns along the Asia Minor coast these scenes are repeated, with perhaps a trifle less noise. At Smyrna, in early autumn, the mina swarms with sellers of the luscious sugar-melons, and a lit le earlier all the ports of the Greek Archipelago echo with "Sweet fresh figs!” Speaking of the New Orleans lynching, the New Orleans correspondent of the New York Tribune says: lam told by gentlemen here whoare in a position to know and who cannot be suspected of falsehood, that no less a person than Thomas J. Semmes, the acknowledged leader of the New Orleans bar, made a narrow escape of having a public and disgraceful affr mt put upon him. Mr. Semmes is a distinguished lawyer, occupying as high a station socially as he does professionally. He enjoys a large and lucrative practice, is president of the Boston Club, the aristocratic club of the city; has twice been president of the American Bar Associa tion, and is known far and wide as a gentleman of most conspicuous legal and personal at tainments. When he acoepte 1 the place of leading cou i e! for the da eiss in the Hen nessy murder case his friends we e astonished. He is not a criminal lawyer, has not for years figured as su " , an", being advanced in age and rich in professional honors, had come to be known as oue who accepted only the most im portant and complicated cases. Involving large property interests. That he should have de parted from a long-established rule and gone out from his chosen province before the bar in such a case seemed unaccountable. But when it became known that he had charged a large fee and had insisted upon payment in advance it was no longer possible to suppose that he had been animated by pity or Christian charity, and then the indignation of the better people toward him knew no bounds. Es pecially was this feeling manifest in the club over which he had presided for so many years. Even those who had liked and admired him most were turned against him. I have it on the best authority that an informal meeting of the members was held, and after a thorough discussion it was agreed to call a reg ular meeting and appoint a committee to wait upon him and ask him to resign not oDly his presidency, but his membership as well. This wonld have beaa done but for the fact that about the same time it became known that Mr Semmes was lying dangerously 111 at his home. The project was then abandoned out of gym pathy for his family, woo are greatiy esteemed, but it may safely be said that Mr. Semmes will never again recover his place in public estima tion. The community forgives, but it does not and will not forget. No man was was so well known in the Tenth ward of Brooklyn, N. Y., as old Bryan Foley, who lived with his daughter. Mrs. Mary Me Keever, at 89 Douglass street. He was born way back in 178S. when Napoleon was still a young officer When Waterloo was fought he tilled in his Irish home a farm which his father and his ancestors for generations had tilled be fore him. Tie was a slender, strongly built man of medium hight. and until he had long passed the time when other men grow bald or white of hair his hair was dark and his com plexion was clear and rosy and fresh. He mar ried when he was 35. He made a preliminary voyage to America in 183(5, and two years later he brought over his wife and family. The ship burned on the way over, and he was separated from his family to meet them again a few months later in New York This was the single adventure of bis long life. In this country he followed farming, and formany years he knew no life hut that of the country His habits were very simple. He did not drink He did not smoke He rose at the same early hour every morning and went to bed early at night. Ho walked a great deal and worked as lonar as h© was able. His form remained per feetly erect. About ten years ago his wife died at the age of 83. His daughter, Mrs McKeever had lost her husband and only child, and so the two lived together. The old man spent his time wandering about the streets, noting the progress of buildings and comparing the Brooklyn of this time with the Brooklyn of half a century before Until a month ago he was in perfectly good health eat ing and sleeping like a young man. His eve sight was so good that hp had no us© for glasses. His form was so erect and his should era so straight that he was tne wonder of all who knew him. Then he began to grow weak. There was no pain, no sickness. It was the gradual passing of life. At first, h sat up a few hours each day. then he found it more comfortable to lie in the bed A week ago Wednesday evening he ate his breakfast as usual. Daring the day his friends saw that he was dying. Thursday morning they called In a woman who said prayers. He evidently heard her, for again and again he lifted his band to his forehead and made the sign of the cross. At 11 o’clock he stretched himself out straight and died. Had he lived until April 30 he would have been 103 years old. They buried him in Flatbush cemetery, where his wife lies WTien Baby was sick, we gave her Cantoris.
