BURGLAR AND POET.
CHAPLAIN PLUMER DISCOVERS ONE
IN THE MAINE STATE PRISON.
Some Remarkable Sonnets Written by Fred
Irving, One of the Inmates, Who ¥s Serv
ing a Twenty-five Years’ Sentence For
Burglary.
Chaplain Plumér of the Maino state
prison has discovered in Fred Irving,
cne of the inmates, & poet of no mean
pretensions to fame, says the New York
Sun. Irving, who is serving a term of
25 years for burglary, molds his poetic
thought in the shape of sonnets, which
he writes in the hours of recreation al
lowed him by the prison rules. His
style is fluent, racy and picturesque,
and many an author who has won the
public ear will envy him his facility of
rhyme and meter. .
Mr. Irving, who has masqueraded
under other names while pursuing bhis
career of crime, placed in the hands of
Chaplain Plumer the other day a manu
script of sonnets, the penmanship of
which would have been creditable to a
writing master. The chaplain discerned
their merit at once, but he also saw that
be must play the censor if they were to
see the light, for Mr. Irving had abused
the license permitted to poets in a man
ner offensive to chaste minds and shock
ing to ears polite. But after the work
of espurgation had been done many
passages were left to challenge the at
tention of critical minds.
Mr. Irving is nothing if not daring,
and he often repels by the brutality
with which he sings of his chosen pro
fession, for burglary is his business and
poetry merely a pastime which he takes
up when he is a guest of the state.
Ocecasionally thie burglar poet wearies
of base themes, and then he attunes his
barmonies to subjects of enchanting
lyric sweetness or even strikes a note
of religious fervor, and the strains that
follow are as rolling, deep and impress
ive as the melodious thunders of an or
gan with all the stops pulled out. In
order to insure him a respéctful hearing
he should therefore be introduced by
such an emotional flight of rapture as
his ‘“Easter,’’ which follows:
Sing, O my ¢oul, the theme exultant sing,
Swift, swift, ny feet, the healing message
take
To stricken earth that Christ, her Lord, doth
wake
And walks in majesty today a king.
Oh, haste thce, heart, thy richest offering
bring.
Thine alabaster box of ointment break
Upon his fect, and joyful noises make
With flute and cymbals and the harp’s loud
string.
Lo! how the hills that late were gray and sad
Come forth all garlanded with verdant bloom,
While lilies pale and sweet besprink the
: plain.
S 0 let men’s hearts rejoice and make them glad
In that cur Lord hath burst the awful tomb,
And Judah’s lion doth triumphant reign.
By way of contrast between Mr. Ir
ving’s best and worst moods, and the
gulf is immeasurable, an audacious
trifle, in which he takes the reader into
his confidence, should come next. It is
called ‘‘The Gourmet,’’ and in this
sonnet he answers a question which the
admirers of his verse would be likely to
ask. He says:
Why do I burgle? Well, I'll tell you why.
One great big reason is I hate to ¢
To a cheap restaurant. It hurts me so
That, if I had to, then I'il rather die.
[ simply cannot stand the buzzing fly
~ And the waiter without a collar, that thinks
to grow
k A beard in a week. I shrink from the holy
show
Of the tablecloth and the beans and the baker’s
| pie.
But at 9 a. m. to step into Young’s hotel,
Where a cool, well bred, cathedral quiet reigns,
For absinthe, coffee and rolls and cantaloupe,
Makes life worth living. Of course it costs
like —.
But look at that ceiling, those delicate window
pancs
And this napkin, clean and white as a Jady’s
throat!
The depraved side of this bad poet—
i. ~ bad in a moral sense—must be
shown, howewer, in its most somber col
ors. Duty to high art requires it.
Therefore the reader must submit to be
shocked by Mr. Irving’s ‘‘Baffled,”’
which was unquestionably inspired by
Lucifer himself:
Once on a wild and lusterless midnight,
In a neglected graveyard by the co~st, ¢
1 dared the Father, Son and Holy Ghost
To come right down and settle it in fight!
I cracked my fists and shriecked with all my
might
And raved and cursed until I was almost
Exhausted unto death, and 'gainst a post
| leaned hard put and fiiled with bitter spite.
Twor ! have gone hard with man or maid or
chill
That lawt eome o'er that read about that time,
For cneg-taongh that’s another—see Rudyard
Kin
Yet I saw but one Jone star that quiet emiled
And beard but bregirersin whese lowd subrine
i eaught the choke of many a sirangled ship
Lest this awful frazme't deprive Mr
Irving altogether of the sympaihy of the
cenerous . inided his C‘Prescience” is
intioduced:
Ged sent a poeem 1o iy heart ast night,
Fhe visitation of the (laiy Ghost
Eurst throeeh the corrmdors of thought, al
1308t
Prostrating re with a divine Celight.
I heard the stars meke music in their flight
And saw the pinions cf a seraph Lhost
And felt the rushing wind ¢of Pentecost
Sweep by me as | rose and sought to write.
But 1n 2n instant wes the vision fled,
And 1 feaned, pasting, on my lenely desk.
I know that 1t will never come again.
But 1 that foretaste of the joys ahead
I've been of all the earth supremely blest
And thank thee, Father, with amen, amen!
Try as he may to stiflo higevil im
pulses, Mr. Irving is still the burglar,

STORIES OF THE DAY,
Bow an Italian Woman Bought a Has
band For S2OO.
A queer story of Italian matrimonial
methods came to light recently in Ho
boken, N. J. The parties to the case
were Antonio Lamart, 21 years old, and
his wife, Philomena, who is 15 years
his senior.
She fecll in love with him in August,
1893, and did the proposing. She was
so infatuated that she agreed to pay him
$2OO if he would marry her.
Lamart married her and got the mon
ey. Then sho tried to get him to take
charge of a fruit stand. Lamart did not
like that vocation, so he deserted her
and spent his $2OO in gay company.
Since then Lamart has not contribut
ed anything to his wife’s support, and
she sccks a soparation, explaining that
she has found another lover, who will
warry her withouat money.
Dr. Guerin’s Litile Jolke.
An amusing anecdote is related of
Dr. Alphonso Guerin, the well known
surgeon and the suthor of a number ot
valuable medical works, who has just
died at a good old age. A short time
before the war of 1870, when he was
surgeon to the St. Louis hospital, he
was summoned to Rome to perform an
operation on Pius IX, a task of whichi
he acquitted himself with the utmost
success und much to the satisfaction of
thic pope, who, in his entbusiasm, pro
nounced him to be the greatest doctor
inn Christendom. ‘‘You see, ’’ the doctor
used to remark, with a smile, when he
told the story, *‘l was obliged to be
lieve that he was right in his opinion
of me, for is he not infallible?”’
5 Nordau's New Book.
Max Nordau's book upon ‘‘Degener
ation’’ bids fair to be the most talked
of thing in literature for awhile. It
says many acute and sharp things about
the degenerates in literature, music and
painting, among whom he counts Rus
kin, Swinburne and William Morris.
His book upon ‘‘Conventional Lies of
Society,”’ published about ten years ago,
also made more or less of a ssir, bat the
new work will surpass it in interest be
cause it has more of a scientific basis
and makes greater pretension to an ac
curate description of society in what he
regards as its present condition.—Buf

Phebe Couzins Has Grit.
Mr. Fair’s last will is said to be hol
ographicand in lead pencil. That, how
ever, is not the only graphic thing
about the will contest, which is now as
suming the aspects of a full fledged
melodrama, as Phaebe Couzins is claim
ing to be the dear deceased’s intended.

A PBritish Dollar.
The British people will soon know the
meaning of the phrase, ‘‘the almighty
doilar,”’ for a real British dollar is soon
to be coined and launched on this eager
world. It is hoped America is not going
to be jealous of it, but will remember
that imitation is the sincerest flattery.
England has always liked American
coin. Now it is about to see one of its
own.
