PKATII OIT JJH. HOLMK9.

OSTON, Get. 8.—-Oliver Wendell Holmes, the famous poet, essayist, novelist, philosopher and scientist, died at his residence, 200 Beacon street, shortly before 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. He passed peacefully away after an illness of short duration, the immediate cauae of death being heart failure, the result of extreme old age. His son, Judge Oliver W. llolmes, Jr., the judge's wife and Dr. Charles I*. Putnam, the family physician, were at. the bedside. Dr. Holmes' death was not tinlooked for, as he had been ailing for about ten days, or since lie returned from Hevcrly, where his summer residence is located. The funeral will probably, take place Wednesday from King's chapel. It will be private.

Sketch of Dr. llolmes' Life. Oliver Wendell Holmes was born In Cambridge:. Mass., August yO, lSOu. His father was the celebrated Yale tutor, Rev. Ablel Holmes. Ho Urst enjoyed the common school advantages of New England boys, having as his companions in Cambridge Margaret Fuller, Richard Henry Dana, Jr.. and others who'attained eminence In letters. Entering Phillips academy, Andover, he prepared himself 10 enter Harvard college, distinguishing hhn*elf for his metrical rendition of the first book of tbo -'"Eneid. In collcge he was associated with William H. Chandler, James Freeman Clarke and others who afterward became famous. Ho was graduated In 182U. During bl.s collegiate career he was known for his literary abilities, contributed liberally to the college publications and wrote pooms for college events. In 1H80, when It was proposed to destroy the old frigate Constitution, Ho'mes wrote his poem beginning "Aye, tear her tattered ensign dowu," which Immediately gave him great reputation as a poet.

Ho studied law In Cambridge and produced a number of humorous poems, which contributed to his celebrity. Uelng attached to his profession of medicine, ho spent several years In Paris, and in 1880 received his decree. In 1989 he was chosen for professor of anatomy and physiology at Dartmouth college and the next year married Amelia Lee, daughter of Justice Charles Jackson, of the supreme court of Massachusetts Relinquish lug his professorship at Dartmouth he began the practloo of medicine in Boston. lnU47he suoceeded Dr. John C. Warren In the Harvard medical school and became a lyceum lecturer.

Ill* First Hook of Poem*.

Tils first hi ink of poems was published in Boston in JKW. Jt contained forty-five pieces. Including some of those which established his fame as a humorist and reenforced his reputation :s a -popular poet. Soon after his aoecssion to the Harvard professorship he published a volume of medical essays, including three which had won for him the UoylKton prizes, nnd his position as a scientific writer was assured. Between 1S38 and 1883 he successively added valua lo essays aud monographs to his scicntlrio productions, and many of them have taken their places a6 classics in in', dlcal literature. The establishment of the Atlantic Monthly in 185? afforded a moHum for the work upon which the literary fame of Dr. Holmes was securely founded—•" The Autocrat Of the' Breakfast Table," conversational papers, including some of the noblest poems and finest wisdom and humor of the author. "Tho Professor of the Breakfast Table" next appeared, followed in course bv "The Poet at the Breakfast Table."' In IStfl "Elsie Venuer," the first, of Dr. Holmes* ventures into the realm of fiction, appeared, and in 1808 "The Guardian Angol."

Meinolrn and Other Works.

His works of a biograplcal nature were the memoirs of John Lothrop Motley and of Ralph Waldo Emerson, published in ltT9 and in 1884. Of his pooms "The Chambered Nautilus" was his own favorite, and by general consent one of the consummate lyrics of tho language. Of his satirical poems "The Moral Bully" and of the humorous pieces 'The Wonderful One-Hoss Shay" are classics. His fame as a "poet of occasions" Is world-wide, and almost every poein' produced for a special function has taken rank with his more studied works. In 1880 Dr. Holmes went to Europe to be received with the utmost thusism aud hospitality everywhere. His son, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.. beenmo a professor in the Harvard law school, a judge on the supreme bench of Massachusetts and a writer on Jurisprudence famed on both sides of the Atlantic ocean.

Ill» Lecture Career.

Dr. Holmes'lecture career from 1852 to 1858 was phenomenally successful from an artistio view polut. The vast sphere of his personal influence is indicated by the fact that when he resigned lu 1882 he had continuously for thirty-live years held hisilar/ard professorship and everted his best-energies to the training of tho young men whom he met in his lecture-room. Dr. Holmes' performance of tho difficult duties of this post are matters of history*, he was a model teacher, communicating to the students his own zeal for knowledge, and Imparting an amount of information as well as a mental discipline which wore of the highest value.

She had just passed her 17th birthday and was pretty and vivacious. The asconsion was arranged for Friday, but on acoount of the rain was put over until Saturday. When tho hour arrived the wind was blowing rather strong, and Miss Vandecessden was advised not to make tho ascension. Her father and mother, who were present, tried to dissuade her, but she declared she would not disappoint her hundreds of old friends and the balloon was released from its moorings. It went up all right, somewhat more rapidly than usual. At a height of about 1.000 feet the crowd below observed that Miss Vandecessden was preparing to make her paraohute jump. She appeared ut tho Hide of the basket trying to unfasten tho. parachute, which was attached to the balloon. In some way she lost her hold arid came whirling to the ground. The body struck within the fair grounds and was imbedded nearly a foot in the ground. The girl was dead when the people readied her, and all her bones were broken. Her father and mother were among the first to reach the body, and their demonstrations of grief were terrible. Miss Vandecessden was to have been married next weok, and she had agreed with her betrothed, who was present, that this would be her last ascension. She had never met with a mishap before. The accident broke up the fair.

AHVANCK Ol' TIIK .lAI'H.

LONDON, Oct. b- A dispau-li to tho Times from Tien Tom dated S:i!in-day says that the Japanese are advancing cautiously toward Motikden and avoiding any dashing enterprises. Their cruisers are closely watching the Chinese fleet in the gulf of i'e Chi Li.

The Japanese army advancing on Pekin is said to have ninny Koreans in its ranks. The recent announcement that American ofllcers had enter,-d the Japanese army has been reetilied. It now appears that lien. Ruggles and several other American dlicers were readily permitted bv the .lupane.se government to follow tile campaign, but solely as spectators.

Will Allow No Plundering.

The Japanese government has instructed Pield Marshal Ynmaga to inform tho diplomatB at Seoul that he will not allow tiie Japanese army to plunder Pekin in ease that city is taken. This assurance will probably induce the diplomats lo stay in Pekin even should the emperor leave the capital. They will, at any rate, attempt to negotiate a peace by asking Japan to be moderate in her demands. The emperor's palace in Pekin is now guarded by Mantchu troops only.

A dispatch to the Standard from lierlin says that the negotiations of the powers with tho I'nited Slates with a view to he joint protection of their subjects in China are said to be much udvanced by the Anglo French agreement 011 tho subject, and a general entente may shortly expected. The dispatch further says that Austria lias intrusted tho protection of her subjects in China to Germany.

This Japanese H00L was then entering ths gulf of Pe-Chi-I,i, and after steaming westward fulsome distance the course of the warships and transports was altered to aoout northeast. In all the Japanese fleet, warships aud transports included, numbered seventy ships. Their presence in tho gulf of I'o-C'ii-I.i has caused the greutest excitement at •Shanghai and elsewhere.

In London it is believed that the Japanese fleet i« the expeditionary force consisting of 80,000 men which left Hirohciiima, the Japanese headquarters, September 20, under sealed orders and under command of Field Marshal Count, Oyama. wlio was Japanese minister of war. I'pou tailing command of the expedition he temporarily handed over that portfolio to the minister of marine. Count Saigo. This force composed the second Japanese army corps and was escorted by the second Japanese squadron. hhicso i£vaeuu4e Moukden.

A dispatch received at New Cliwang, gulf of Lac Ton, bays that the Chinese are in full retreat from Moukden. which is threatened by the advance of the Japanese troops from l.oren and the Japanese force said to have been landed near Possiel bay, not far from the Russian territory bordering on Corea and tho Chinese province of Manchuria. Another report from Shanghai says it is believed at the latte.- city that the Chinese forces which have been defend ing Moukden have been hastily summoned from that place in order to oppose the projected Japanese landing either In tho gulf of Pe-t'hi Li or in the gulf of Lao Ton The Chinese have been hurriedly adding to the fortifications of New t'hwang in anticipation of a Japanese attack upon that port or landing in its u-.-ighborhood.
