and the following memorial was adopted:
George Hearst, after a varied, eveBIful and
active career of moe than half century has
by The inevitable decree OF death, been denIrd a
further future OF The most extended usefulness
aud oil The most gratifying promise. Ii had
seemed 10 us, with whom he had been long and
Intimately associated, that the rewards won by
his industry, integrity aud talent, and which he
seemed 10 hold that lie might the better serve
Ills felioW-men, alOid hin the opportunity 10
more amply sustain In his later years those gen.
erous and phiaHihrople purposes In which his
life had abounded and which have made his
death IetS0nal loss In countless homes
throughout the State.
George Hearst reached here an unalded and
an unheralded man. he brought with him no
auXlllaries 10 fortune, except those which Ma
ture S noblemen have by right OF being such. He
cast his lot with that OF the State, whose citizen
lie thereupon became and ever remained. Her
future was his future; her success Was his sue
cess; and all his lhe States. lie was with her
through tile many tiemu10us periods OF her lle
and now that he Is dead lie Is being borne back
that he may be forever with her. 1t is well that
II Is SO. II Is meet and proper that George
Hearst should 1nd amending rest among us, 10
whom he WAS SO dear. and III the Stale Which lie
served and loved so long and so well. His life
and memory, The record OF his goodness and
greatness, aud The immediate presence OF all

US and be an enduring and invaluable lesson 10
those VINO are to come afLcr us.
His life proves the much needed lesson that
success, hOn0rs and affeeIenate and tender re-
gard OF ones fellow men may be won in Il man-
her and by means at once honorable and emo
bling. II proves that a solieitous Interest for
the public welfare, aud 10 secure that end, an
active participation In public affairs, is consist
ent with manhood, ana essential 10 good citi-
Zensbip
But we forbear to longer dwell upon his life
aud death, because the tenderest emotions of
the human heart, which admit not OF tongue or
pen, are essential TO proper appreciation of
That unique character, at once strong, brave,
generous and noble, which has Iassed from our
lives, aud IN missing which we must forever
mourn. Take MIN all IN all he was man III on
whose Ike we shall not look again-one upon
whom the gods have set their seal to give assur-
ance that he was man.
