The Evening Capital to-day said: Nothing but good should be spoken of the honored dead. When the shadows of death and the sorrow of be- reavement come an end of long ordeal and purifcation of pain and suffering it is poor spirit of inhumanity to recall errors of the departed. The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft inferred with their bones.'"
