daughters. Mrs. Davltt, who had de
votedly attended him during hla illness
until two days ago, was herself taken
III and Ilea prostrate In the same hos
pital. She has not been Informed of
her husband's death.
The greatest sympathy has been dis
played by all classes of society during
Mr. Davllt'e Illness. The hospital waa
besieged by anxious Inquirers. Death
waa due to blood poisoning, which fol
lowed two operations for necrosis of
the Jawbone.
Loess Right Arm.
Michael Davltt waa for years ins of
the foremoat of Irish Nationalists, anil
one of the hardest fighters of the men
who have struggled to secure home
rule for Ireland. A Journalist by pro
fession, both through his writing and
speeches, as well as by organizing
many Irish societies, he labored to
advance the Irish cause. Hla life of
political activity began before he waa
twenty years old, when he Joined, the
Kenlun Brotherhood. Hie activity and
boldness brought him several times
behind prison bare, but he always em
erged from prison ready to resume
with unabated vigor the hard battle.
Davltt wns born In 1848. Hie father
was Martin Davltt, of county Mayo
and Scranton, Pa. When he waa ten
years old the boy went lo work In a
Lancashire cotton mill. He was the
victim of an accident In 1867, which
caused the loss of his right arm, which
was caught In the machinery. He waa
then employed as a newsboy, prlntar'a
devil and assistant letter carrier.
Becomes a Fenian.
In 1866 he Joined the Fenian Broth
erhood, and In 1870 waa sentenced to
fifteen years' |>enal servitude for trea-
aon-felony. He was released In 1877
on “ticket of leave."
With the late t'harlea 8. Parnell, Da
vltt assisted In forming the Irish Land
League In 1878. He waa arrested tho
snine year on the charge of making n
sndltlous speech, but was not prose
cuted. In 1880 he came to the United
States to organise the Auxiliary Land
League organization. In 1881, on his
return In England he was arrested and
sent back to prison, but was released
In 1882. Tho following year he was
Imprisoned for three months after trial
under the law nf King Edward HI for a
seditious speech.
Elected to Parliament.
Davltt wa* flral elected to parlia
ment In 1882, while he waa a prisoner
In Portland convict prison, but waa
disqualified by special vote of tho
house because his ftfteen-yoar sentence
to prison had not expired. In 1882 he
waa elected from North Meath, but
waa unaeated on apeclal petition. He
was returned, unopposed, from North
east Cork, the same year, but resigned
In 1883. While he was traveling In
Australia In 1886 ha waa returned from
East Kerry and Smith Mayo without
opposition, but he resigned In 1886.
Davltt traveled extensively In t'ana-
da, Austrla-Aela, Egypt, Pulesllne,
France, Italy, South Africa at the time
of tho Boer wnr, and tho United Stntes.
He was married In 1888 to nn Ameri
can dtoinan, Mary Yolre, of t'allfornln.
He was the author of many political
pumphlets and books.
A Friend of Labor.
Davltt waa a groat friend and sincere
friend of American labor c -ganlzatlona.
In the old days of the Central Labor
Union he addressed several mass meet
ings In Unlda Square. Al tho meeting
of tho general assembly of the Knights
of Labor held In Minneapolis In 1187,
Davltt delivered a notable address on
the Irish question and was tendered a
great nvatlon.
In 1888, as a. member of parliament
from county Mayo, he put a list of per
tinent questions to Joseph Chamber
lain regarding the movement of Eng-
land against the Boers. HIs questions
were Ignored and ho resigned hla seat.
He then went to Pretoria aa correspond
ent for The New York Journal, and while
there he acted oa adviser to Prealdent
Kruger upon the latter's request. He
remained there until May 16. 1800.
when he left, broken and alck at heart,
to return to England. There he pro
duced statistics to show that Great
Britain knew the exact strength of the
Boer forces, proving by England's own
figures the falsity of her excuses for
many reveraea.
Ha Goes to Russia.
In 1808 he made a Journey to Rus
sia for The New York Journul and
Investigated the Klehlneir horror. In
order to send a true report of the con

Mr. nnd Mrs. Adelord Vansletter, of
606 Chicago avenue, were found smoth
ered to death, sitting upright. In a
trunk, at 8 o'clock Inst night. The
circumstances of the death are myste
rious, owing to the fact that the oldest
of the three wan large and strong
enough to have easily raised the lid of
the trunk.
Mr. Vansletter la a teamster. Ten
children comprised hla family. Includ
ing the tiiree. Search had been made
everywhere, according to the mother's

ferent rooms and closets In vain. Then,
by mere accident, she saw a tray of

on the bed. She thought the children
might have crawlid In the trunk, and
she raised the lid. She waa horrified
by the sight that met her goxe. The
threo missing children were dead.
Apparently they had made no strug
gle or effort to release themselves, nnd
the mother was too frightened to re
ran whether or not the clasp had

The family was down stairs when
the three children at 6 o’clock went up
stairs to play. No noise waa heard
from the upper rooms by the members
down stairs.
Coroner Fenouvtlle waa notified and
reached the scene within an hour. The

ing kind.

It is also understood that he will not aak
