Obituary.

Dea Chas. L. Drury died at his home in
West Randolph Sept. A, 1890. Mr. Drury
was born in Middlebury, VT. Mch. 20
1896. Most OF his life was passed in Mid
dlebury, Hanover, n. H., Braintree and
West Randolph. At Braintree In 1872 he
was elected deacon of the Cong'l church
and served in that office till short time
| before his death. Although residing at
West Randolph for the last six years he
still at the request OF the Braintree church
went up to worship with them and aid in
the administration OF the sacraments at
the Lords Supper. Mr.. Drury was man
of mild and amiable disposition and of
strict integrity. His Christian character
was genuine, showing itself in practical
kindness and uprightness towards men
and obedience and trust towards God. He
endured his long and painful illness with
great patience and submission. His heart
felt the experience which the psalmist ut
ters: "clouds and darkness are round a.
bout him; righteousness and judgment
are the habitation of thy throne" Mr..
Drury was man who easily won the es-
TEEN and love OF his neighbors and ac-
quaintances. 1t was said by some who
knew him best when his death was
known: 81 do not believe he had an enc
my in the world His help and influence
were much priced in the little church in
Braintree while he lived there and many
from that parish attended his funeral as
sincere mourners. MIR. Drnry left no
children. His widow has the sympathy
of large circle of friends who loved and
respected her husband. Cut off as il |
seems to us in the midst of his years; yet
we know God numbered his days accord 1
inc to wisdom and while we commit all
our sorrows to him we rejoice in the
sweet hopes we are permitted to cherish
him who has fallen asleep. He
''rests from his labors and his works do
follow him. in just rewards in Heaven
and precious influences on earth.

The "ARENAn for October has for its
frontispiece portrait of w. II. II. Murray
and in the body OF the same one of Prof.
scarborough. Both of these gentlemen
are contributors. The table of contents
is attractive for those who take pleasure in
the kind OF reating the Review furnishes.
There are some thought-suggesti hope
inspiring articles, but too many OF them
leave the reader standing on the verge of
one of Prof. Buchanan's imaginary cata-
elysms. Had there been a Review publish
ed at Rome just before the breaking up OF
the Empire we have an idea that the tone
OF it would have been something like this.
Notwithstanding all this, the Review ought
to be read, especially by those who can do
so and not take on too much of the color
which it imparts. In the present number
there are some valuable papers on such
topics as the Death Penalty, the Race Prob
lem, Symbolical Characters in the Old
Testament, our Unohurched Millions, the
Development Of Character in Schools Be
hind the Mask, modern Essu and Jacob,
the Vengeance of Despair, John Henry
Newman and the Catholic Reaction, and
some others. These topics are ably treat
ed, making the Arena a valuable addition
to our current literature.

CAUCUS OF SENATOR'S.

The National Elections Bill Under
Consideration To be Taken UP
TO-Day-A Program on the order
of Business to be Mapped Out
Later.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The republican
senators were this afternoon in caucus for
an hour and a half engaged in the consid-
Grafton of the order of business. The
elections bill. The friends of the measure
recalled to their fellow senators the i'm
piled pledge given at the caucus last ses-
sion that the bill if allowed to go over
until the reassembling of congress would
be taken up and pressed to a final vote
without the Intervention of other bust
ness. They urged that the time had
come to redeem the pledge and that the
senate should at once proceed to the con-
sideration of the bill. Certain senators
who have in the past been set down as
opponents of the elections bill or who at
least were supposed to be lukewarm in
its support objected, not to the general
principle of the bill itself, but to
the adoption of a policy that in
suit in blocking all other important
legislation during the remainder of
this congress without guaran-
tee of successful termination of the at
tempt to pass the elections bill. Several
western senator's, however, insisted that
with proper spirit of determination on
the part of the majority the bill could be
passed. After long discussion the eau
Gus agreed that the elections bill shall be
taken up in the senate tomorrow with the
understanding that it shall be kept before
that body until finally acted upon. Fur
thermore, to guard against expected oppo-
sition from the democratic minority in the
line of dilatory tactics, committee of
five senators was appointed to cooperate
with the republican members of the COM
mittee on rules in the preparation of a rule
to secure closure of debate when desired
by the majority. The old caucus commit
tee on the order of business was reappoint-
ed and instructed to prepare program to
govern the proceedings of the senate after
the elections bill shall have been disposed
of. 1t is stated that there were no votes
cast against these determinations of the
caucua
