| full tide or his uSe1ulneSS, or one WHO mas | three times filled the office of chief executive
 of this commonwealth with distinguished | honor to himself and with great blessing to
 the citizens of the State. And the nation joins in our grief at the grave of 8 noble man, ! who has honored places of high trust in the | ministry and councils of the general govern

His administration of public affairs has always been characteristic of his personal honesty, energy and faithful | ness.
 The many avenues of commercial and in | dustrial enterprise, the educational interests
 and the social progress of our State always
 commanded his earnest attention and enthu- \ siastic care.
 His personal intercourse with individual members of the community was genial, at l tractive and sincere.
 His death adds another sacred memory to ! the honorable history of Connecticut's Gov ! ernors.

 MT. Cleveland spoke as follows: MT. Speaker-In the death of ex-Governor Jewell Hartford loses one of it's most enter prising business men and the State one of it's most distinguished citizens. He was born in
 Winchester, New Hampshire, October 20, 1925. At an early age he removed to Boston, where he studied telegraphy and electricity. From Boston he went to the Southwest for the practice of his new calling, and, after 8 few years of service there, settled in Hart ford in the year 1850. His business career, which has been crowned with eminent sue cess and which is well known to us all, have not the time, nor is this the place, to speak of in detail. I only desire to pay 8 brief and deserved tribute to one who held many important business and public trusts and who has performed all his duties with an unfagging zeal and an un- swerving fidelity to principle. As Gov ernor of Connecticut, minister to Russia, and Postmaster General, he won the confidence and respect of his constituents, and made for himself 8 name and fame which are the property of his State and of the nation, which he so honorably and faithfully represented Connecticut and the nation to day mourn his loss. In the language of another, 'Unap- palled by the terrors of the unknown world he passed out of the beautiful valley. where he sojourned. into the valley of the shadow as the light fades away from the Armament at the coming on of evening mild.'' His last words, 'It is all right" were spoken with the full consciousness of their meaning just before his spirit peacefully departed. Gov ernor Jewell was generous, tender-hearted man; he was kind to the sswidow and the fatherless, and his heart responded to the appeals of the poor, and he gave ungrudg ingly and wrought
 "with human hands, the creed of creeds
 'sHoweer it be, 1t seems to me. Tis only noble to be good.
 Kind hearts are more than coronets
 And simple faith than Norman bloodp
 Governor Jewell was man of eenerous hospitality, always receiving his friends in his beautiful home and at his domestic board with smile of recognition beaming on his pleasant countenance, and with sincere words of welcome and the earnest grasp of the hand of true fellowship made glad the hearts of his devoted friends in whose memory he will live
 In conclusion, Mir. Speaker, may we all emulate the virtues of our compatriot and friend, and learn the lesson which his exam pie teaches, of industry and perseverance, and when ife's work is done may we reach
 s'That shore where storms are hushed,
 Where tempests never rage,
 With gusty strength their roaring warfare wage"
 Mr. Simonds, of Canton, spoke as follows: MT. Speaker:
 When, within our personal ken, the last great change comes over the meanest of our race, we stand by with bated speech and rev. erent mien. Be the earthly tenement never so dishonored, we recognize the touch of oYer all our lives. The awful majesty of the
