Schnitzler waa indirectly responsible for the tragedy. When he discovered hi.s pet's lifeless form he burst into tears.

Mr. O'Dowd's retirement is due en¬ tirely to his failing eyesight. Al¬ though eighty-six he is keen of brain and a ready talker, but a cataracjjt on the left o|)lic had "made it difTicuIt for him lo continue with the trying work of the court room. He hoped that he would be ahle to round half a century of service until a few months ago when his eye trouble became acute.
For years Mr. O'Dowd has been looked upon as the dean of court re¬ porters. His rotund figure has been familiar to barristers and cou»t at¬ taches for two generations, and his ready native Scotch wit has been the subject of much amueement in and out of the court house. This happy facul¬ ty he still retains.
As told in The Naasau Post in March, Mr. O'Dowd ie a staunch, fer¬ vent American. He feels the thrill of patriotism as few native born Ameri¬ cans do and appreciates Ainericiin de¬ mocracy as but few can. He lives quite alone, a bachelor, at the home of Mrs. Lucy A. Wood, where he will now spend most of his time.
Born in Flagford,Parish of Kilenkin, Counly Roscommon, Ireland, In 1828. Mr. O'Dowd grew up in an environ¬ ment of romance, lie came to Amer¬ ica in 18,')2, penniless, like Brun Pit¬ man and obtained a job on a farm at a mere pittance. It was from this be-
