LORI) TENNYSON DEAD THE GREAT ENGLISH POET LAURE ATE CALLED TO ETERNITY. The Scene In the Heath Chamber Mlien IJfe Took Flight Was a Most Beautiful One and u Fitting Climax to the Poet's Career—Tennyson's Life Described. LONDON, Oct. 6.—Lord Tennyson, the poet laureate of England, died this morn ing at twenty minutes to 2 o'clock. Lady Tennyson, his son Hallam and his wife, Sir Andrew Clark, Dr. Dahbs, the nurses and other servants who had been with him for twenty-five years were at his i bedside when death came. He was tran quil, conscious and painless to the end. As the evening advanced the moon rose in unusual splendor and flooded the room ALFRED TENNYSON, with light. Tennyson watched it through the curtainless window with his hand rest ing between the leaves of "Cymbeline." At 10:80 o'clock he was .sinking fast, j Hallam Tennyson gave him a few spoon- ! fuls of brandy and milk. He swallowed I with difficulty and was unable to take ' further nourishment. At midnight he | whispered very feebly his last words to his ' wife. His finger still marked the passages , of "Cymbeline" which he had last read, and thus he died. "In all my experience," said Sir Andrew ! Clark, "I never witnessed anything more i glorious. There were no artificial lights in the chamber. All was darkness except for | the silver light of the full moon, which fell upon the bed and played upon the features , of the dying poet like the halo in a Rem- j braudt picture." Lord Tennyson's Career. "There is a place called Somerby in Lin- i colnshire, where an old white rectory stands on the slope of a hill, and the winding lanes are shadowed by tall ash and elm trees, and where two brooks meet at the bottom of the glebe field. * * * The wind that goes blowing where it listeth once in the early beginning of this century came sweeping through the garden of this old Lincolnshire rectory, and as the wind I blew, a sturdy child of five years old, with shining locks, stood opening his arms upon the blast and letting himself be blown along, and as he traveled on he made his first line of poetry, and said, 4 I hear a voice j that's speaking in the wind,' and he tossed | his arms, and the gust whirled on, sweep- j ing into the great abyss of winds." In such poetic fashion docs Anne T. Ritchie, in an article written half a dozen i years ago in Harper's, refer to the child hood of the poet laureate, Alfred Tennyson, j the germ of fancy flashing from within 1 him at this tender age. It was at this Somerby, where his father officiated as a clergyman of the Church of England, that Tennyson was born in 1809. Here in the quiet of a country place —ami there was then nothing but the lumbering English coach to connect it with the outer world— ' the child grew up. His First Poem. It was quite natural that the dainty bits J of English scenery should have been in delibly impressed upon Tennyson's mind, and that throughout a long life devoted to the poetic art he should have painted them in so many charming word pictures. Tennyson's first written poem was, it is said, on the flowers in the garden, and the first money he ever received for a poem I was for an elegy on his grandmother. The j price for his production was ten shillings, i given him by his grandfather. Thomson was then a favorite poet and the boy mod eled his first verses upon "The Seasons;" i but Byron was the great rising luminary, and the youngster, who had not yet gone so far as to write in a style of his own, left 1 off copying Thomson and began to copy Byron. When Byron died Tennyson was yet only fifteen years old, and it is not ap parent that the younger bard ever ad mired any other poet so much as to imitate him; besides he was growing into his •own individuality. At twenty he gained a prize at Cambridge fora poem called "Timbuctoo." With some trifling exceptions he published nothing until he came of age, in 1830, when he got out a volume of "Poems, Chiefly Lyrical." They did not cause his countrymen to re gard him as a great poet. Tennyson was thirty three years old and had written con- FARRINGFORD HOUSE, TENNYBON'S HOME, slderable before he came to be regarded a poet of marked ability. In 1842 he pub lished a volume of poems, many of which had been published before, but several were added, and among them the since famous "Locksley Hall." This, taken with such pieces as "Mort d'Arthur," the "May Queen" and "The Two Voices," stamped Tennyson as a great poet, and from that time forward his fame steadily increased. A Working Poet. Tennyson has been what might be culled a working poet. If there is one field in which inspiration would seem to be espe cially requisite, it is poetry; but Tennyson never relied upon "fits of frenzy." He was accustomed to go over and over his verses changing, shaping, polishing—till he got them as near perfection us work could make thein. It is said that he has gone over some of his poems fifty times before giviug them to the world. One never finds in hla productions the rough workmanship of Byron, and seldom is there the evidence of inspiration l>y which Byron or Shelley threw off like a flash some of their marvel ous passages. Tennyson has always de clared that nothing is of value that is not carefully done. But while he accomplished much by taking pains, his poems show rather polished excellence than spontane ous fervor. During Tennyson's early days he pro fessed to he n democrat. This tendency is indicated especially in "Lady Clara Vere de Vere" and in "Locksley Hall." But while the masses of the English people were growing democratic Tennyson was drifting toward aristocratic views. Either I he was not sincere in the first place or he was unable to withstand a nobleman's cor- I onet when it was offered him. He accepted i the honor, took his seat in the house of | lords, but assumed only the habiliments of , a place in the peerage without exorcising : its privileges. llis Chief Pieces. Lord Tennyson lived during the days | when he was doing his best work in the Isle of Wight, at Farringford. There is a beautiful country around Farringford, just 1 the country for the habitation of a poet, j and it was there that he produced "Maud." Of Farringford the writer previously quot- | ed says: "The house itself seemed like a charmed palace, with green walls without , and speaking walls within. There hung Dante with his solemn nose and wreath: ; Italy gleamed over the doorways; friends' faces lined the ways; books tilled the J shelves and a glow of crimson was every- where; the great oriel drawing room was | full of green and golden leaves, of the sound of birds and tlie distant sea." A dozen years ago Tennyson mode his home at Aldworth, not far from London, I where thenceforth he spent most of his , ; [ time with his wife, his children and his j grandchildren. He lived a comfortable, happy life, passing gracefully into old age 1 —an old age mellowed by a bottle of port each day for dinm r and the aroma of to- j bacco from bis pipe, of both of which ho ! i has been said to be ecially fond. 1 Since 1870 Tonn/.-.un devoted himself I principally to dramatic works. They are ' ! plays rather to be read than acted. "Queen ' j Mary" and "The Cup" were brought out i I by Henry Irving, but did not achieve any > | distinctive success. Mat-ready failed to ; 1 ' make Browning's plays popular, and Ir | viiig cannot be blamed for making a simi- j I lar failure with Tennyson's. Tennyson has chiefly been known among ( the mass of his readers for his "May j ; Queen," "Elaine," Hall," "The < Princess" and several of his brief pieces. 1 Perhaps "Break, Break/'Break," a poem of only sixteen lines, is more closely con- ; nected with the name of Tennyson and in j more minds than any of his poems. j , NEW YORK'S MASONIC HOME. ' Dedicated at lltica in the Presence o) ' Fifteen Thousand Persons. j UTICA, Oct. fi. The dedication of ; the Masonic home of the state of New York occurred here.

At the dedication ceremonies Past Grand j ! Master Scherer made an address. Then Grand Master Ten Eyck made an ad t dress, in which he gave much of the his ] tory of the order, contrasting the dark past \ : with the bright future.
