The Funeral Obssqufes Of Ex-Chan.
cesiOr BMtes.

Yesterday Afternoon long before the
hour was announced for the funeral O
Ex Chancellor Bates, large number
of persons had assembled at the resi-.
dence Of the deceased, 1908 Delaware
Avenue. All the members OF the Bar
of this city were present, Chief Justice
Comegys and George c. Massey, ESD,
of Dover, Hon. e., B. Rodney and Geo.
Gray, Esq, of New Castle, Charles
Theodore Russell, Esq, Of the Cam.
bridge, Massachusetts, bar, were also
present and the personal friends Of the
deceased and business men Of the city
were largely represented.
Shortly after 8 o'clock, Rev. DR.. Ste
venson Of Grace NJ. T. Church, deliv-
cred an address, and in his remarks
said that his acquaintance with the
deceased began 1G years ago this very
month, since then he has been his pas
tor on three different occasions. He
was christian in deed and in truth.
1t has been 80 years since he con-
nected himself with the church, he had
been connected with the church almost
his whole life. He was for many years
Trustee, and assisted in founding
and erecting the church. He was also
Sunday School teacher and was a
faithful member. Being faithful
christian, he lived and died the same.
He died alone, with no loved one near
him; not alone for God was with him.
Rev. Bishop Lee followed in brief
address, in which he said he could add
nothing to the admirable portraiture
Of the deceased that had just been Civ
en-, the truthfulness of which was ao-
kLowledged by every heart. lie could
only add his sincere tribute and utter a
sincere amen to what had already
been said. He said, the wealth of a
community does not consist in its
riches, grand buildings and great in
dustries, but in its moral tone; its pre-
vailing opinions OF rectitude, gentleness
and honor to God.
Who then, he said, can compute the
value to the community of man with
such an unsullied record, whose pro
fessional lite has been an ornament and
his domestic life too sacred even for
words of eulogy. Such q man shall
not only live with God, but shall also
live in the memory of all his fellows,
for "being dead he yet speaketh."
After the remarks of the Bishop, he
delivered "ery earnest and feeling
prayer.
The remains were encased in hand
some metallic casket with rosewood
finish and a glass top. On the sides
of the casket were silver handles and
on the lid was a silver plate, with the
inscriptions: "Daniel NJ. Bates, born
January 2Sth, 1921; died March 2Sth
1879" The floral trit utes were very
numerous and fine, consisting of bas-
ket Of lilies, Marshal O'Neil rose buds
saiiranos and violets. Besides this
there were two crosses, an anchor and
pillow with the word "rest' there
on.
The pail bearers were Hon. Thomas
+. Bayara, Chief Justics Comegys, W.
c. spruance Esq, Taylor Cause, Judge
Bradford, Col. McComb, C. B. Lore,
Esq. and George W. Sparks. The re-
mains were then taken to the Whining
ton and Brandywine cemetery where
Rev. DR.. Stevenson conducted the SER
vices, and the remains Of Della
wares eminent jurist were consigned to
their last resting place.

The annual meeting Of the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mis-
sions, held this week at Syracuse, New York,
! will derive additional interest from the fact
that it is the first meeting held since the re-
ceipt of its late legacy of half million
dollars, the judicious administration Of
which will greatly enhance the responsible
tiles of the board, and doubtless lead to ma.
terial extension of its work. OF this meet
ing the Springfield Republican well says :
To the Congregational churches to which
the American Board of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions most directly appeals for
support, the meeting at Syracuse this week
is by far the most important religious event
Of the year. Unlike other anniversaries, it
is not usually held in large city, and its
date is far removed from that of any other
religious society. The meeting of the board
collects its own audience, gathering its mem
bers from all parts of the country, and has
the unique interest of great religious gath
ering whose work is notable in a secular
sense, ana tne business SUCCESS OF WHOSE
operation has been nearly as remarkable as
its religious effect. Collecting for years
past nearly 100000 annually, the gifts dur
ing the year ending August 3lst amounted
TO S5l1, Az, the loss of its funds has been
almost unknown, and on the average from
ninety-two to ninety-four per cent of the
amount contributed has been expended in
past years in direct missionary effort. Upon
single and comparatively circumscribed
field, that of the North American Indians,
the expenditures of the board have amounted
to Sl,250,000, and there are many parts of
the world in which it may be fairly said that
the United States is best known through the
labors and reputation of the missionaries of
the board. 1t appears to be gen.
orally understood that the proceeds of the
large legacy at the service of the board will
be used in erecting buildings for the perma-
nent institutions which now and have long
constituted an important part of mission
work in many fields, particularly in Turkey
where the contributions to the higher edu
cation of the native races by the missiona-
ries of the board on the whole outrauk those
of any other agency.

A FUNNY MAN-Mr Pendleton, the new
United States senator from Ohio, is very
funny man. And especially so when he
tells the people of the country that the
Democratic party represents more than half
the people of the land, and half the honor
and virtue aud intelligence and patriotism"
The Utica Herald makes the following eff
fective answer " As to virtue, he should be
content with an even division. As to honor
If financial, the Southern states, all Demo-
cratic, bear the palm as repudiationists by
large majority; if national, let the Demo
cratic rebellion answer, both as for that and
for the patriotism Of the two parties. As to
intelligence, let the last federal census
speak; Nineteen Republican states have
777,77S persons unable to read or write (;
nineteen Democratic states have 3,666,725
persons who cannot read or write. And in
this division we have classed New York,
with its l63,50l illiterate persons, as Re-
publican state. II Mr.. Pendleton insists
that New York is Democratic state we are
willing to concede it this once, and his party
to have clear majority of 3,2l6,000 of the
| illiterate people of the whole country. This
division is not fair. however. As people
who can neither read nor write are in al.
most all cases Democrats, the Democratic
majority among this class is considerably
over four millions"

CLOSE OF THE Zulu WAR.-Cetewayo
the savage African chief who has so long
held the English at bay, has finally been
captured. He has shown wonderful skill in
his management of the campaign, holding
as he has done the skilled soldiers Of the
British army, led by experienced command
ers, at bay for almost five months He has
fought most gallantly, aud brought to bear
an almost infinite amount of skill in his dis
cipline of troops and the use of the weapons
at their command. With his ability, in
other lands aud under other other circum.
stances, he would have taken his place in
history by the side of the great leaders
whose deeds can never be forgotten, and,
barbarian as he is, the world can now feel
only respect for one who accomplished so
much in struggle with such odds against
him. His day is past, his power gone his
territory divided, and he himself a prisoner
in the hands of the enemy. Glad as the
civilized world may be at the termination Of
contest costing so many lives and SO much
OF the treasure that is needed to relieve the
misery existing in Great Britain, it cannot
but sympathize in the downfall of one who
savage though he may be, is yet brave
man and heroic king.

EDUcATIoNAL-The report of the bureau
of education, just published, gives the per-
centage of school attendance compared with
school population as largest in Massachu-
sets, where it is seventy-four per cent, and
smallest in Louisiana, or twenty per cent.
Next to Massachusetts comes New Hamp-
shire, then Oregon, aud next Rhode Island
and Connecticut Kansas is the only re-
naming state which has more than half its
school population at school. The great bulk
of unschooled children is at the South. DIR.
Sears, the agent of the Peabody fund of
Southern education, places the number of
children in the South who have no instruc-
ton whatever at 100000, and the report of
the commissioner of education does not
return any Southern state, except West
Virginia, thirty-fve per cent, as having over
one-third its children at school. In view of
these facts it is not strange that in South
Carolina fifty-seven per cent of the voters
cannot read the ballots they put into the
ballot-boxes, nor that in Louisiana still
larger proportion of the voters cannot read
or write. These are the real evils and out
RACES which election laws cannot reach.
