event clothes the clay with dignity not of this world.
 When all the wheels of daily life stop for
 ever, and he that was one of us goes-as all men concede-either to eternal nothingness or to immortal consciousness, the change we contemplate is so stupendous in it's nature that it nunnbs our senses and appals our comprehension.
 When, as in the present grief, this change comes to man who Was locally our posses
 sion, but whose activities and whose reputa. tion were national, there is added to It's awful dignity an inestimable sense of personal and of public loss.
 The man who has gone from us was 8 knightly soul. He bestrode no capar1soned | steed, he wore no dropping plume, he carried no lance in rest but his life and his achieve ment were of knightliest essence. Inherit 1 ing only the spirit that made him the man he was, he wrested practical success from difficult circumstance, on various fields, and gathered no measureable stain of weakness or unworthiness.
 Called into public life he carried with him l the same high purpose, the same enthuHasm, l the same uprightness which had marked his | private course, and held them to the end. His public services are known to all men and need no special mention here. They are en- duringly written in the annals of the State
 and of the nation. He served the State ID us highest office and he served the nation at home and abroad, all with high success and 1 with the entire confidence of his fellow men. | That other honors were in store for him but
 for this untimely quittance of earth was prophecy easy of fulfillment.
 While the State and the nation must needs mourn this man sincerely and honestly, his
 death is felt with peculiar force in this city, where he dwelt. It will be long before it's | citizens will, realize that this magnlhce nt presence is forever gone from these streets I where it has been so familiar. It will be | long before they will realize that this great ! and generous heart is stilled forever. It will | be long before they realize that this name and fame are but a memory. And when this | name and fame become g. memory only, they | will still be priceless heritage to those who perpetuate that name. They will always be | bright example to youth whose futures lie
 before them they will always be precious memory to this State, which he honored as a | citizen; they will always be precious mem 1 ory to the nation he served so acceptably. If from his home with the immortals he is 1 permitted to know the deeds of us who tarry here, may we not hope that as we pay these | tributes to his memory the purified incense
 of our affection and esteem floats to his grateful recognition, and that but for the veil we may not raise that recognition would be made as 1 manifest to us as the beams of the monday 1 sun?
