IN MEMORIAM,
A Tribute to the Memory of the Late
Clinton Il. Fisk.

Tribute to the Memory of the Late
Clinton IL. Fisk.
Memorial services were held last evening
at the Central Methodist Episcopal Church,
on Mission street, in respect to the late
Clinton b. Fisk. Bishop Fowler presided,
and Rev. g. ]. Mcintosh responded to an
invitation to lead in prayer, after which
the Bishop delivered brief address. He
said
81 have been selected TO preside at this
meeting, and requested to address you. l
am pleased especially with the latter honor,
for it gives me an opportunity to testify to
the character and abilities of General Fisk,
with whom | was intimately acquainted for
over twenty years. He was a great, good
man, beloved by all who knew him. For many
years he was prominently identified with
the Methodist denomination, and proved
himself staunch friend of the church,
always solicitous for her welfare, always
ready to pour out his wealth in her behalf
and induce others to give literally. Charit-
able and humane, he was q kind father and
husband, and was never so happy as when
In his home surrounded by those he loved.
lie was an active and successful business
man, hard and faithful worker, q striking
figure in the race for wealth. But not alone
In these spheres did he distinguish him.
self. lie was a brave soldier. and when
the bugle called to arms he hurried to the
front and fought nobly for the Union. He
was always the friend of the down-tr 0dden
and oppressed. He was the negroes friend
and was one of the first to protest against
the methods of the heartless and greedy
Indian Agents. He is gone and we, his
friends and admirers, have met here to pay
tribute to his memory. We have met In
so rrow and in gladness. In sorrow that he

company OF her bosom friend caused her
to behave in such an undignifed manner on
her last visit that she was forced by the au-
thorities to occupy a dungeon-cell boudoir
for two days in order to divorce her from

politely requested to leave by the matron,
and at once called Oh the Mayor to report
the breach of etiquette. His Honor, who
has studied the blue-book closely, refused
to order her readmssion. and she revenged
herself by stating to reporter that he had
insisted on her being admitted. Mrs. Nc
