religion and to his fellow men," and on May 8, 

 1894, he was tendered a complimentary dinner by 

 the representative citizens of Boston, at which 

 more than 300 were present. 



Donnelly, Ignatius, author, born in Philadel- 

 phia, Pa., Nov. 3, 1831; died in Minneapolis, 

 Minn., Jan. 1, 1901. He was educated in the pub- 

 lic schools of his native city, was graduated at the 

 Central High School in 1849, and was admitted 

 to the bar in 1852. He removed to St. Paul, 

 Minn., in 1856, and in 1859 was elected Lieuten- 

 ant-Governor of Minnesota on the Republican 

 ticket. He served in Congress from December, 

 1863, till March, 1869. Then, having been de- 

 feated for another reelection, he entered the Demo- 

 cratic party. He took the stump for Horace 

 Greeley in 1872, and was president of the anti- 

 monopoly convention that nominated Peter 

 Cooper for the presidency in 1876. In 1873 he 

 was elected to the State Senate, and served many 

 years as Democratic member of that body and of 

 the House. Sept. 6, 1898, he was nominated for 

 the vice-presidency of the United States by the 

 convention of the People's party in Cincinnati, 

 Ohio, and in May, 1900, he was nominated for the 

 same office by the Middle-of-the-Road division 

 of the People's party in their convention in Sioux 

 Falls, S. Dak. For five years he published in 

 St. Paul The Antimonopolist, a weekly paper in 

 which he advocated the Greenback policy, and 

 during his last years, in addition to conducting 

 a large farm, he edited The Representative, a re- 

 form journal published in Minneapolis. For sev- 

 eral years previous to 1894 he was president of the 

 Farmers' Alliance of Minnesota. After publishing 

 several minor works, among them an Essay on 

 the Sonnets of Shakespeare, he brought out his 

 Atlantis, the Antediluvian World (1882), in 

 which he attempted to prove that a great island 

 continent, the Atlantis of the ancients, once ex- 

 tended from the West Indies nearly to Europe; 

 that civilization originated there and spread to 

 both the adjacent continents; that the island 

 sank in a great convulsion, and that the islands 

 of the Atlantic are such parts of it as were too 

 high to be submerged. Afterward he published 

 Ragnarok (1883), an attempt to prove that the 

 deposits of clay, gravel, and decomposed rock 

 characteristic of the drift age, were the result of 

 contact between the earth and a comet; and The 

 Great Cryptogram, in which he attempted to 

 demonstrate by an alleged cipher (which was 

 quite clear to him, but to no one else) that Lord 

 Bacon was the author of the plays attributed to 

 Shakespeare. He afterward applied this crypto- 

 gram with equal success to Don Quixote. His 

 other books were Caesar's Column : A Story of the 

 Twentieth Century (1890); The Golden Bottle, a 

 political novel (1892); Doctor Huguet; and The 

 American People's Money. He wrote the pream- 

 ble to the Omaha platform of the People's party, 

 which has been regarded in the light of a party 

 creed. While in Congress, Mr. Donnelly earnestly 

 advocated the creation of the National Bureau 

 of Education, and he was the first man that ever 

 agitated in Congress the question of the planting 

 of trees by the Government. 



Dougherty, Andrew, inventor and manufac- 

 turer, born in Ireland in 1826; died in New York 

 city, March 4, 1901. He came to New York when 

 nine years old, and soon afterward ran away to 

 follow a seafaring life till 1848, when he re- 

 turned and set up a small establishment for the 

 manufacture of cards at 48 Ann Street. The 

 business grew till it was one of the most impor- 

 tant of its class in the United States. Most of 

 the devices now used in the making of cards

 fessor of Diseases of the Skin at the College of 

 Physicians and Surgeons. After a time he retired 

 from that professorship to take that of Clinical 

 Medicine in the same college. He held that post 

 from 1879 to 1898, when he retired, but was ap- 

 pointed emeritus professor. Dr. Draper became

 count of failing health, but took up the service 

 again in 1893. He served the hospital in all thir-
