Trenton, died at Lowell. Mass, the Goth ut, at
the residence OF bis aunt, Mrs. Harrington. A
few short months ago, in the early autumn,

buoyant heart and fatterng hopes before

ment in this Massachusetts city. A few days
after his arrival he secured situation with an
enterprising business firm. In December he
was taken sick with that dread disease, Ia
grippe. After suffering with this disease for
several days he nearly recovered and being
possessed of an ambitious disposition he went
to work again and in few days was taken
down with malignant typhoid fever. living
about ten days. His father being summoned
to his bedside by telegram, arrived four days
before he died. Everything that could be
done was done by skilled physicians to master
this battling disease and nothing was left un.
done by kind father and loving relatives to
make bis last moments as comfortable as pos
sibIe and smooth his downward passage to the
grave. A short time before he died he was
made conscious that he could not live and clos
ing his eyes he repeated the Lords Prayer and
then sang favorite hymn, NEARER my God
to Thee" and after leaving few afYectionate
words for his brothers at home his spirit took
its flight upward to meet those OF his loved
ones who bad gone before. His mother died
little more than two years ago and he keeuly
and CONSIDERABLY realized her irreparzbe loss
Whenever her name was mentioned 10 his pres

in memory of the love and kind remembrance
he bore for her. His remains were brought

With the number for February. The Forum
tions which make what may be fairly called a
landmark in American literature. The domi-
nant idea in the establishment Of The Forum
was to create vehicle for the discussion Of
the great problems that press for solution In
the United States.
The February Forum has as a special feature
an explanation OF three Of the greatest Undue
trial problems In al history-which now await
US: The Nicaragua Canal lin both Its CONNER
cial and Its political aspects). the further de-
velopment Of lake commerce and OF ways to
the sea, and the retaining Of great domain
by irrigation. Such original investigations ~
these will become more and more an import
ant part Of the work Of The Forum.
