Matchless Expression of Patrick Collins On the Loss of His Long-Time Friend, When the city of Boston took official action on the death of John Boyle O'Reilly by holding a citizens' meeting at Tremont temple, on the evening of Sept 2, Mayor Hart presided and the platform was filled with representative citizens of every ancestry and creed. Among the speakers were Judge Woodbury, Very Rev William Byrne, DD, vlcar general of Boston and a native of O'Reilly's county of Meath; Col Charles H.

Taylor, Hon Benjamin F. Butler, Col Thomas Wentworth Hlgginson, Pres E. H. Capen of Tufts college and Hon Patrick A. Collins.

The honor of being the last speaker was designed for Mr Collins, who stood beside O'Reilly for 20 years in the long fight for Ireland's cause.

"In public life fearless, faithful and Incorruptible; in private iife the loving husband and father, the strong friend and gentleman.

In very truth; from the people and of the people, yet a born leader of men Patrick A. Collins always stood for the best and was the-best. "Brilliantly endowed by nature, scholarly in tnste and attainment, he would have been a leader In any profession or walk of life, among any people, in any age. "Self-educated, yet he was. a university graduate in mental equipment and intellectual breadth.

He was honest In all his relations with men; his public service was a sacred trust; he never 'altered, never wavered when duty called, and conscience spoke through his every act." 4 fa Hi" 1 la this period ww elected to the f.r and It. to ine jsas- tta mult to liS and MET. was iudM advocate MVM. to IO. was admitted to the bar to MCI.

He seemed to feel with the dying regicide In 'Lea 'I weep with you for the son of the king, murdered" In the temple, but weep with me for the children of the people they have suffered longest." "Numbered and marked and branded; officially called rebel, traitor, convict and felon, wherever the red flag floats, denied the sad privilege of kneeling on the grave of his mother thus died this superb citizen of the great republic. "But his soul was always free. Vain are all mortal interdicts.

By the banks of that lovely river, where the blood of four nations once commingled, in sight of the monument to the alien victor, hard by the great mysterious Rath, over one sanctified spot, dearer than all others to him, where the dew glistened on the softest green, the spirit of O'Reilly hovered and shook the stillness of the Irish dawn on its Journey to the stars." "Even In this solemn hour of public mourning it seemo hard to realise that we 3hall see him no more. Men wtio know us both will expect from me no eulogy of Boyle O'Reilly. You mourn the journalist, the orator, the poet, the patriot of two peoples, the strong, the tender, the true, and knightly character. I mourn with you and I also mourn alono. "But after all, the dead spnak for themselves.

No friend in prose or verse can add a cubit to his stature. No foe, however mendacious, can lessen his fame or the love humanity bears him. Yet we owe, not to him, but to the living and to the future, these manifold expressions of regard thesj estimates of his worth. "The feverish age needs always teaching.

NEW YORK, Sept 14 To the Editor of the Globe: I am grieved and shocked beyond measure to receive the announcement of tho death of my old and good friend, the honored mayor of your city. Mayor Collins stood for all that was best in the public officer, unswervingly honest, perfectly fearless, open and candid In all his dealings with men and affairs; big-hearted, large-minded, widely experienced, he possessed all the qualities In a large measure which the office demanded. I was most deeply gratified this summer to learn of the esteem in which ne was held by the people in Boston, irrespective of party, and although I have not seen him for some time, I felt quite sure that he would be continued in office as long as he wished to remain there.

I knew him -in congress and can certify to the people of Boston how deeply he was attached to their city and their interests. He certainly was a loyal son of the ancient municipality. He loved Boston and lived for It, and believed in its future, its people and its institutions and shared in its sympathies and convictions. BoFton will have many mayors in the future, but she has had none in the past nor will she In the future who is a greater mayor or a more honest man than Patrick A. Collin.

His is a loss In the larger, national sense. He was a fine type of what the institutions of America can do for a voor boy landing on a foreign shore, and a splendid example of how thoroughly American such men can become.
