He spent his earlier years In that city, where he received a finished education In private schools. He was of an artistic temperament and devoted several years to the study of art, giving no indication In his early youth of the literary genius which later was developed and gave him rank among the successful writers of his time.

The captions of the measures were hastily read by Town Clerk Drent and President Emerson immediately referred them to the Committee of the Whole, which comprises all the Cicero trustees. The committee sat at once In executive session, and after a short discussion adjourned until Tuesday evening, when the ordinances will be formally considered and submitted at a special meeting of the Town board on Wednesday evening. With the Btreet railway measures were two ordinances, one providing for the privilege of stringing wires by the Cicero Telephone company, and the other giving the Cicero Conduit company permission to lay conduits. It is said the street railway ordinances ask for fifty-year franchises and In return agree to grant five-cent fares from Austin to Chicago and eight-cent fares from Oak Park into the city.

The events of the time gave him opportunities for advancement.

In 1S65 he took a position on the London Morning Star, and during the Prusso-Austrian war in 18G6 served that paper as a special correspondent. After the close of the war he became assistant editor of the London Daily News, and continued In that position for four or five years. Novelist's Early Writings. During his newspaper career Mr. Black had been at work on various literary productions; some of which were given to the public In book form while he was still engaged in newspaper work.

The earliest was entitled James Merle; An Autobiography," which appeared in 1804. This was followed in 1868 by a three volume work entitled Love or Marriage?" which was his first attempt In the field of fiction, pure and simple. One year later appeared In Silk Attire," another three volume work, which reached its third edition In three years. The development of William Black's literary talent from this time on is reflected In the comments of critics who wrote for the Saturday Review and other periodicals. Concerning In Silk Attire the Saturday Review said: Mr.

Clerk Drent Profess Their Ignorance. President Emerson declared last evening be knew no-thing of the ordinances. Trustee William Gunthorpe, however, said President Emerson told him some time ago that ordinances pertaining to street railway extensions would be brought before the board. Several ordinances came before the board." said Mr. Emerson.

"Id not know whether they asked for fifty-year franchises or not. They will come before the Committee of the Whole on Tuesday. Some time ago the Cicero and Proviso railway asked for a fifty-year franchise and it was not granted. The same application may be up again. If ft is I know nothing about It." I know nothing about the ordinances except what my deputy, Martin, told me," said Town Clerk Drent when seen at his home In Berwyn last evening.

In my opinion the ordinances are requests for fifty-year franchises, but I did not read them through. I cannot see why the Suburban railroad company should want a fifty-year ordinance. In 1S95 it was granted a franchise for fifty years." Mr. Drent refused to let the documents be examined. Trustees Reardon, Attridge, Lewis, and Howell professsed ignorance of the measures.

Trustee Gunthorpe said: I had an Intimation from President Emerson a number of railway ordinances would come up. As far as my understanding of the matter goes the ordinances were for fifty-year franchises, providing for a five-cent fare to Chicago In return. I am in favor of such an ordinance, and as far as limiting the time goes I would be willing to grant franchises for 1,000 years providing we get a ceedings in the trial of United) States Sena system as certainly as arsenic would kill him.

In 1872 "The Strange Adventures of a Phaeton was published, followed by a second edition in 1874. The style of the book was criticised severely.

That William Black's place in literature was now recognized as secure appears in the fact that his next work was a contribution to the English Men of Letters series, a biography and literary review of the writings of Goldsmith, which came out In 1879.

To enumerate all the writings of Mr. Black would be useless, as most of his later works are well known and widely read.
