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.

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.

The Hustler of Rome’s Special Correspondent 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 Oxford Ga. Dux. R, L. Whilehead, Macon, His torian, M L. Towers —chorister. A. Bullard, Class Poet. The sophomiore Class election has not taken place yet and the Juni ors expect to hold their election on Monday next. The Few and Phi Gammar Lit erary Society are in flunshing con dition and the Fews ate expecting a grand old time on the lOih inst, which is their auuiversiry and of course that means holliday and an enjoyable entertainment given by this society, Dr Candler, lectures or talks to the young men about the great question of the day and the views taken by him are listened .to with much interest by the students.. So taking it ail in all the information received here overbalances the ex pense ton thousand times, and I KELLYS SKULL Was Fractured by a Policeman’s “Billy” INDUSTRIAL ARMY LEADER Meets With a Warm R?o3p tfon From a San Francis co Officer. The Mob Demanded the Of ficers Arrest San Francisco, C u., Oct 8 lan er al Kelley, leader of the indusiria army which left here last summer and went to Washington, while address ng a crowd last evening in Oakland was ordered by officer Ser nlau to de tU. Kelley refused when Scanlan took him into custody aad the two march, ed off. They Had far when Scanlan [suddenly began clubbing Kelley aud fractured his skull. A crowd of several hundred men marched to the city hall and d.- manded that Scanlan be placed un der arrest. The authorities quickly granted the demand, thereby pre venting probable violence Kellys condition is serious. think there are very few yonng men who go out from here ev«r re grete the timn and money spent while attending college. The election has just taken place the Street Car Company furnish free transportation to Covinginton to those young men who could vote aud thus old Newton county and Emery College went for De mocracy by an overwhelming ma jority.
