HOLMES IS DEAD
Oliver Wendell Holmes the Poet
and Scholar
HAS FALLEN ASLEEP
end Came Peacefully and
Quietly At his Boston,
Home Yesterday After
noon Sorrow Through
out The eai th
Boston, October 8. —Oliver
Wendell Holmes is dead. Without
a semblance of a struggle or a pain
he passed away as he had lived,
peacefully and beautifully.
The end came at 12:10 o’clock
yesterday afternoon at the venera
ble poet’s town house, 296 Beacon
street. He was surrounded by his
children, and visibly conscious of
their presence up to within a few
minutes of the last, though unable
to speak. Then he closed his eyes
wearily and seemed io fall asleep,
as indeed he did—the sleep of
death, at which the whole world
will mourn.
His death was due to exhaustion
following a severe attack of asth
ma.
As early as 1886 his contribu
tions in verse appeared in various
periodicals, and his reputation as a
poet was established by the deliv
ery of a metrical essay, entitled
‘‘Poetry,” which was followed br
others in rapid succession.
As a writer of songs, lyrics and
poems for festive occasions, he oc
cupied first place. He was for many
years a popular lecturer. In 1857,
he commenced in The Atlantic
Monthly a series of articles under
the title The Autocrat of the
Breakfast Table, which were fol
lowed in 1860 by The Professor at
the Breakfast Table; m 1872 by
The Poet at the Breakfast TableJ
and in 1886 by The New portfolio.
In addition he has .published
Astraea, in 1850; Cur its and
r
Counter-Currents in Medical
Science, in 1861; Elsie V’snner, a
Romance of Destiny, in 1861 Bor
derlands in Some Provinces of
Medical Science, in 1862; Songs
in Many Keys, in 1864; Soundings
from the Atlantic, in 1864; Hu
morous Poems, in 1865; The Guar
dian Angel, in 1868; Mechani
cism in Thought and Morals, in
1870; Songs of Many Seasons, in
1874; John L. Motley, a Memoir,
in 1878; Iron Gate, and Other
Poems, in 1880; Medical Essays,
in 1883; Pages from an Old Vol
ume of Life, in 1883; Ra'ph Waldo
Emerson, in 1884; A Mortal An
tipathy. in 1885; One Hundred
Days in Europe, in 1887; Before
the Curfew, in 1888; and nunu r.
ous poems recited at various re
unions and dinners.
In 1886 he visited England,
where he was received with great
cordiality. Editions of his poems
have appeared from time to time —
the first in 1836, the last in 1889
He has contributed largely to cur
rent medical literature, as well as
to thd literary journals and re
views. A series of genial papers
from his pen, entitled Over in Tea
cups appeared in the Atlantic
Monthly during 1890.

SHIPS A BRIGHT LETTER
Giving Some Entertaming Par
agraphs About the College
as he Finds it and
"First Impressions"
Newton isl Solid.
Emory College, Oxford ,Ga., —
Dear Hustler:—Will you grant
me the privilege of communica
ting a few “happenings” at this
grand old college, being as you
know a Floyd county boy?
I imagine I can see the editor
nod his head in silent approval,
provided I will not bore the read
ers of his sparkling news-paper by
recounting things that will not in
terest him or his subscribers ; so I
give my pencil a trim and
proceed. You who have never left
the old parental domicile for the
purpose of attending school, can
never appreciate my condition,
but I hope to explain to you as
briefly as possible the reception
and etc given me by the boys.
The young men were very polite
and attentive, but occasionally
would have to give way to the
crowd and cry out with them : “A
new boy, Sub-Fresh Latin and
Greek!” New boy, Sub Fresh!
Well, to tell you the truth, it was
nothing more than what I expect
ed, but listened every moment to
hear the title of “Moss Back” “Sa
ger” and “Hill Billy” given me
but on finding out that I came
from the Banner county of the
State and that Democracy reigned
supreme in those regions, I was
not given informal titles. Suffice
it to say, I am now comfortably
located near the college buildings
and have been initiated into the
workings of the boys by belonging
to some of the “grand old organi
zations”which have honored me by
allowing my name to be enrolled
among their membership and now
am prepared to say that I am a
full fleged student of this Institu
tion whether I belong tojthe “Sub
Fresh” department or to the supe
rior class.
The enrollment of students this
year runs up to nearly 300; the
best opening that has been experi
enced since its establishment, so I
have been informed, ami these
voutig men have come here with
the determination to learn and to
embrace every opportunity afford
ed them, thereby acting as an in
spiration to those who do not care
so much to study, but have pride
enough to take a good stand,
when they see others so bent on
improving their time.
The Freshman class held a meet
ing last evening for the purpose of
electing officers for the coming
year which I give below :C.G.Smith
