THE “AUTOGRAT” DEAD. Last Moments-"of the World l‘smOus Oliver Wendell Holmes. DEATH WITHOUT WARNING. He Was Stricken \Vhilc Seated In His Chair Engaged In Conversation. Sketch of the Career 0115 Remark- able and Talented Man. I BOSTON, Oct. 9.'-—The residence of the lite Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes is closed to all visitors today, and information in regard to the last hours of the poet is hard ‘ to obtain. From a nephew of Dr. Holmes, how- n’er, a representative of the press learned that the poet was sitting in his study in His easy chair chatting with his son, ludge Holmes, when death came upon him without a moment’s notice. He died It 1:30 p. in. No one but Judge Holmes, sis wife and the servants were in the house. Dr. Holmes had passed a perfect mmmer so far as health was concerned 1nd only returned a short time ago from his summer home in Beverly to his Bea- :on stect residence. He had been sufier- mg for a week from a bad cold, but his loath was entirely unexpected even by the nearest members of his family. The an- nouncement of the sad news has spread a shadow of gloom over the city, and mes- sages from all over the country have been received today, and many callers have left cards at the house. The funeral will be Wednesday at noon at King’s chapel, and the services will be :onducted by Dr. Edward Everett Hale, a lifelong friend of Dr. Holmes. Interment - will be in the Jackson lot at Mount Au- burn. The pallbearers will be members of the family. Dr. Holmes' Career. Oliver Wendell Holmes was born in Cambridge, Mass, on Aug. 29, 1809. His father was the Rev. Abiel Holmes, 3 cler- gyman of Cambridge and a historian, who'is said to have made the first attempt at writing a history of this country in his "American Annals.” . , His great-grandfather was John Holmes, one. of the old Puritan stock, who settled in Woodstock, Conn., about (686. Oliver Wendell Holmes inherited his father’s literary instinct, and very early began to write verse. At college he became the cdl'or of the college magazine, and at the age of 21, the year after his graduation, the agitation over the an- OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES. nouncemcnt of the intended destruction of the old war frigate Constitution began, and he wrote the well known poem, ‘ Old [ronsides, ” which was published in the Boston Advertiser. He became famous at gnce._ He had struck a popular note, and ALL WISE HEADS 9. so that the use of ’a’ liver pill ater dinner, or to accomplish special results, is an important step in civili- nation.

" After gradua- tion from college he turned his attention first to law, but never practiced, and later took up the study of medicine. He spent three years in hospital study and prac- ticed in Edinburgh and Paris, and in 1836 he received his medical degree. In that year he published his first volume of poems. Doctor, Litteratenr, Professor. He always continued to make medicine his profession, but early made literature his diversion, and as a poet and author became known to the people. He accepted the professorship of anatomy and physiole egy at "Dartmcuth college in 1839, and later practiced medicine in Boston, where he married Amelia Lee Jackfion, daugh- ter of Judge Charles Jackson of the Mas- sachusetts supreme court, by whom he had two sons and a daughter. In 1847 Dr. Holmes was-made professor of anatomy at Harvard, a chair in which he continued until 1882, when he resigned and was made professor emeritus. Presi- dent Eliot paid this tribute to his skill, “There are 3,000 men throughout New England who will remember Dr. Holmes through their lives and transmit to their children the memory of him as a teacher of exact science.” Dr. Holmes wrote 42 works on medical subjects and lived to see many of his early ideas of medicine, which at first met with condemnation, accepted by the leading physicians of the world. Speaking of this recently, Dr. Holmes recalled the storm of indignation which was raised by his famous cpigrnm that if all the medi- cine ln the World were thrown into the sea it would beall the better for mankind and all the worse for the fishes. And then he laughed uietly as he remarked that now most 0 the profession practically Agreed with him. The Famous uAutocrat" Series. In 1857,‘When The Atlantic Monthly was started, Lowell asked Dr. Holmes to contribute to it. So began the “Autocrat at the Breakfast Table" essays, which ob< lained immediate popularity,'and the suc- cess of the magazine was assured. ‘ ‘The Professor at the Breakfast Table, ” 1860, and “The Post at the Breakfast Table,” 1873, followed, and then after long years came a number of papers in the same vein in the new Scribner’s Mag- azine. ”Over the Teacups,” which ap- peared a few years ago, was made the oc- casion of the announcement by Dr. Holmes that it would probably be the last of the series. Dr. Holmes was a sociologist, though he was not often recognized as such. In the only two novels which he wrote, “Elsie Venner, ” 1861, and “The Guard- lan Angel, ” 1868,1115 skill in dealing with social problems was shown. “Elsie Venner" was-a curious study in heredity. Mature in mind in early years, Dr. Holmes in age was young in thoughts. More than 80 years ago at a class gather- ing he said: Has there any old fellow get mixed with the . boys? If there has, take him out without making a noise. Hang the almanac’ s cheat and the catalogue' 9 sp itei Old time is a liar! We’re twenty tonightl And more than 40 years ago he said to young men: ' Be firm. Ollt eonst 111t- element in luck Is genuine, sol1d,ol:'1 Teutonic pluck. Leave what you’ve done for what you have to do. Don’t be “consistent, ” but be simply true. Admired by Great Men. When lectures were popular, 40 years ago, Dr. Holmes was in demand on the platform and was ever full of philosophy and fun. Lowell said this of him: There is Holmes, who is matchless among you for wit-— A Leyden jar always full charged, from which flit the electrical tingles of hit for hit. Whittier paid tribute to Dr. Holmes in more sober verse, and but a little while ago Dr. Holmes referred publicly to “my friends Whittier and Bryant, ” whom he had outlived. Of other well known men who were Holmes’ classmates there were Seba F. Smith, author of "America;” James Freeman Clarke, William Ellery ’Channing, Benjamin Pierce, Benjamin B. Curtis and Chandler Robins. Dr. Holmes at one time established a summer home in Plttsfleld, Mass, while Hawthorne was living at Lenox, a few miles away. Of late his summer home has been in a cottage at Beverly Farms, a picturesque place on Boston bay not far beyond Salem. Dr. Holmes’ son, Oliver Wendell also, was born in 1841 and was appointed a justice of the Massachusetts supreme court in 1882. Among Dr. Holmas’ works are memoirs of John Lothrop Motley and Ralph Waldo Emerson, “A Mortal Antipathy, ” “One Hundred Days In Europe, ” and in poetry “Urania, ” “Astraea; the Balance of Illu- sions, ” “Songs In May Keys” and “The Iron Gate. ” Although “The Chambered Nautilus" was the doctor' 8 favorite poem, “The Voiceless” and “Sufi and Shadow” are ranked with it by the public. “The Wonderful One Hess Shay” is known to every one.

The em- peror’ s palace in Peking is now guarded by Mantohoo troops only. The Japanese army advancing on Peking 1s said t'ohave many Koreans in its ranks. The recent statement that American officers had on- tered the Japanese army has been recti- fled. General Ruggles and several other American officers were readily permitted by the Japanese government to foliOw the campaign, but solely as spectators. A dispatch to The Central News frOm Shanghai says a rebellion has broken out in Jehol, the seat of a celebrated imperial palace, 120 miles from Peking. How Chang Disciplined Sirens. A dispatch from Tien-tsin reports that Sheng, the toatai of that city, is in dis- grace. It appears that Shong had bought from Germany 800,000 discarded rifles, for which he paid 2 tools each and charged the government 9 tools. He also bought a large quantity of cartridges, Which were found to be utterly useless. Li Hung Chang discovered‘ the fraud and summoned Sheng to him. In the in- terview that followed Li Hung Chang is said to have slapped Shcng‘s face. Sheng later made application for leave of. absence on the plea that he was ill, and. tho-leave was granted.

PAnis, Oct. 9. ~—The Figaro today throws cold water upon the reported in-_ ’tention of France to annex the island of Madagascar, saying that “the results ob- tained there since 1885 are not brilliant and hardly sufficient to make us desire to annex the island. The heavy expenses of the annexation. can easily be foreseen, whereas the advantages are very problem- atical. ” _____ Not Settled Yet. WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. —The department authorities here do not consider the Mad- agascar question, which looked ominous last week, as settled, but merely pesto poned until the latter part of this month, The French oflicer who has been author- ized to take summary steps to maintain France’s position in Madagascar will not reach there until Oct. 15. When he begins the execution of a vigorous policy, the real contest between France and Great Britain may be expected to arise. Semi- oflleial advices received here are to'the'ef- feet that he is directed to close the long contention by asserting the rights of France and backing the assertion with force. To this end 2, 900 French troops will soon follow him. It is believed therefore that, while the recent announce- ment that France had blookaded Mada- gascar ports was premature, it fereshad- ows stirring events as soon as the French envoy reaches there.
