The e,-Prrsldent,. Funeral.

The funeral of eX-President Hayes, held
al his home in Fremont last Friday, was
marked by great simplicity The body lay
in state in one OF the rooms of the house
during the morning, and thousands of peO-
pie from far and near passed through TO
take last look at the face. President-elect
Cleveland made the journey to Fremont to
attend, and a special train carried Secreta-
res Foster, Rusk, Noble and Wanamaker.
Gov. Mckinley was one of the pall-bear-
ers. 4 double quartet, led by member
of Gen. Eayes's. Old regiment, sang a
hymn, the pastor of the Fremont Metho-
dist church read the 23d Psalm, Rev. DR.,
Bashford offered prayer, there was another
hymn, and then all present joined solemn
ly in repeating the Lords Prayer. That
was all the ceremony at the house Eight
body bearers, chosen from the eX-Presi-
dents old regiment, carried the body to the
hearse through long line of military and
civic bodies drawn up outside the house.
Arrived at the grave the brief ritual of the
Grand Army was read, a volley was fired,
the cavalry bugles sounded goodnight -
and the simple rites were over.

An Ideal Career.

A career which the community OF Wind
ham county, or of Vermont, is not likely
to see paralleled in the days to come, ended
with the death of Rev. DIR. Alfred Stevens
at Westminster West last Friday afternoon.
His life and pastOrate fitted completely the
ideal career of the old-time pastor of souls.
He went to the church in Westminster
West directly from the divinity school; he
ministered to its people all his life, preach
ing to them the gospel of repentance, con-
version and righteousness as it was reveal
ed to him; he bore an active part in all the
life and work of the community; he was
for so years living example of loving
kindness, of diligence, of industry, thrift
and uprightness, and at the end he died
among his own people as peacefully as a
child falls asleep. Other men have filled
so-called larger spheres of usefulness, but
it is seriously to be doubted whether any
have left their impress on the real life OF
the people in greater degree than has
Alfred Stevens. His brethren in the min,
istry pay him sincere tributes of love and
appreciation in the notices elsewhere
printed.

In the impression which the character of
DIR. Stevens made upon me, after seven
years of acquaintance, the qualities of rev.
erence and fidelity were pIeGminent 9th
er strongly-marked characteristics were his,
but ! put these first. They were based
upon the groundwork of thoroughly
healthy nature, a sound vitality, not only
of body, but of mind and heart in their
attitude toward every question of life.
Thus healthy and balanced and simple, he
above all things else stood ever in the pres
ence of God, and in his spoken prayer and
inward thought bowed his soul before
him. This reverence made him a very
free and courageous man in his opinions
and acts. He feared God too much to have
any fear of man. 1t gave an undertone
of seriousness to the bright play of wit,
and an accent of conviction to the acute
logical working of his mind. 1t also un-
derlay that other quality, of fidelity, which
so marked all of his performance of duty,
to his church, his town, his associates in
the ministry, and to the state of his birth,
home and career. He was as steady and con-
slant as the hills he trod in all that claim
ed, at the bar of his consciecne, the allegi-
ance and service of his life

graduated at Harvard Celege at the age OF
20, and then went to study for the minis
try at the old Episcopal divinity school at
Alexandria, Va. 1t was while pursuing
his course here that he preached his first
sermon, and attempted his first work as
minister, in a little settlement of negroes
and poor whites two miles away. On leaving
the divinity school in 1859 he went to the
church of the Advent in Philadelphia, and
in 1862 took charge of Holy Trinity church,
in that city. In 1869 he was called to Trinity
church, Boston, and here he remained un-
til his election to the Massachusetts episco-
pate in 1891 When Mr.. Brooks went to
Trinity church it occupied its old edifice on
Summer street, which went down in the
great fire of 1872. In due time the splen-
did editce on Copley square was built and
since then the church and its rector have
been among the most noted in the whole
country.
1t is not too much to speak of Phillips
Brooks as the greatest preacher of his
time. To define to one who had never
seen him, or heard him preach, or felt the
influence of his personality, the qualities
which gave him this distinction, would be
impossible. An orator he was not in the
usual sense of that term. Tricks or graces
of speech or gesture he never affected in
the slightest degree, An impediment of
speech which, in his youth, led his
teachers to tell him that the ministry was
out of the question as his profession, was
undoubtedly the primary cause of that
phenomenal rapidity of utterance for which
he was noted. His words poured forth
like fierce torrent; often it became men
| tally oppressive to follow him and take in
closely the full import of his words. The
nervous force and fervor which he expend-
ed in delivering a single discourse thirty
minutes long would have taken every
ounce of the nervous force of an ordinary
man and completely exhausted him. His
one great theme was the love of God, the
beauty of the religious life, the possibility
that every man and woman should live no.
| bly, and purely, and the unspeakable joy
and blessedness of such a life. Listening
to his fervid, burning words, as the great
preacher urged these simple, fundamental
truths over and over, one felt convicted of
his own littleness and false ideals, belief
in his dormant possibilities grew within
him, and he resolved that he, too, would
live the divine life. 1t was in this enkind-
ling, life-giving power that the real strength
of Phillips Brooks lay
In physique, as in intellect, he was a
prince among men. Six feet and four
inches tall, he was magnifcently proper
toned, He possessed in remarkable de
gree that peculiar quality which, for want
of better term we call magnetic presence,
and he gave one the idea of physical life
which was full, complete and unbounded
Phillips Brooks was larger than any
church. His great soul discovered and &C.
cepted religious truth wherever it wa;
found. 1t was the glory of the man that
he belonged to the church universal

Death of Phillips Brooks.

Phillips Brooks, the great preacher and
bishop of the Episcopal diocese Of Massa-
chusetts, died at his home on Clarendon
street, Boston, at half-past six Monday
morning. The news of his death caused
a great shock, for it was not known, even
in Boston, that Mr.. Brooks was seriously
i'll. He had remained in the house since
Thursday of last week, when he was at
tackled with what appeared to be com
mon cold and sore throat Sunday diph-
theritic symptoms appeared; during Sunday
night he was partially delirious, and Mon
day morning his heart ceased to beat while
he was in the midst of an attack of cough
ing.
Phillips Brooks was born in Boston in
December, 1885, and was thus but little
more than 81 years old, and in the very
midst of his strength and usefulness. On
both sides he was descended from the best
type of the Puritan ancestry. His father
was William Gray Brooks, Boston hard
ware merchant of intellectual tastes and
pursuits. On his mothers side was long
line of Puritan ministers of the name of
Phillips, and also the founders of those
well-known schools, the Phillips Exeter
and Phillips Andover academies. He was

Without any direct intention of doing
so, probably, Mr.. Cleveland, by going to
Fremont to attend the funeral of eX-Presi-
dent Hayes, administered the most point
ed kind of a rebuke to those men and pa
pers of his party that have taken the oc-
casion of Mr.. Hayes's death to renew their
assaults upon him as the fraudulent pres
ident." To Col. Corbin of the United
States army, who met him at the station,
Mr.. Cleveland said
when the news Of Gen. Hayes s death reached
me ! WAS almost overcome. ] said 10 my wife
that IN Gen. Hayes were in my place and in his

I received from, Gen. Hayes, he assured me that
If living he would be present at my Inauguration.
He was a man for wht IN | had the highest re
gard. lie was brave and he was conscientious. 90
Mr.. Hayes and Mr.. Cleveland first be-
came acquainted through the fact that
both, as eX-presidents of the United States,
were trustees of the Slater and Peabody
educational funds, and warm personal
friendship had sprung up between them.

General and ex-senator Wade Hampton,
from the retirement of his home in Co
lumbia, S. c., gives sharp rebuke to
those of his party who have sought to
blacken the name and memory OF EXPIRES
ident Hayes on account of his connection
with the electoral contest of lS76-77. The
Democrats themselves, Gen. Hampton re-
minds these traducers, proposed the tribun-
al which settled the controversy; Mr..
Hayes had nothing to do with it, and the
decision once given there was no course
left for him but to abide by it and assume
the presidential office.

The Famous jug Cases"

John O'Neil the defendant in the cele-
brated Rutland and Whitehall jug cases, ="
was to have come before Rutland county
supreme court for sentence yesterday morn
ing. 1t was discovered, however, that
Judge Thompson was disqualified for sit
ting in the case, through having been once
engaged upon it as counsel, and it therefore
went over to the fall term. Under O'Neil' 5
conviction, 307 second offences, the de-
cision of our state supreme court having
been affirmed by the United States supreme
court, his sentence will aggregate some
thousands of days in the house of correc-
tion. 1t is understood that his counsel
were all ready to begin habeas corpus pro
ceedings for his release under some new
question of law to be raised by them.

An Incident AZ NIr. Hayes,s Funeral.

Before the coffin was closed, says one of
the dispatches, Professor l.. d. McCabe
of Ohio Wesleyan university, venerable
man with the refined face of intellectual
ty, laboriously rose from his seat and tot
tered to where the body of the eX-Chief
Magistrate lay. For more than a minute
he looked earnestly and tearfully upon the
dead mans face, and then returned to his
seat in the midst of profound and pain
full silence. Forty years ago this man,
even then a noted educator and preacher,
had sOlemnlzed the marriage of Ruther-
ford B. Hayes and Lucy Webb, and he had
outlived them both.

VICINITY GLEANINGs.


The slander case of Lizzie J. Currier VS..
Joseph r. Richardson of Chester, in which
the plaintiff obtained verdict of $500 at
the recent session of the Windsor county
court, will go to the supreme court on eX-
ceptions. The defendant filed a motion to
have the verdict set aside on the ground
that evidence in the newspapers containing
an account of the trial was circulated and
probably read by the jurors, and that one
of the jurors was guilty of misconduct.
The court denied the notion allowed the
verdict to stand, and granted to the plain
tiff, upon her motion, a certified execution
that said SANDER was wilful and malicious.
Since the trial Mr.. Richardson has pub
lished long articles setting forth his claim
in respect to the controversy, in which he
reiterates the charges against Miss Currier,
for which she recovered damages.
