SITTING rOOI

all the afternoon he was in good spirits
and at dinner at $50 he seemed to have
a good appetite. DR.. Llewellin left the
house about o'clock and a few minutes
later the Justice was seized with violent
pains in the heart and die1 at the hour
mentioned.
Mr. Lamar was noted in Washington,
where the best years of his life were
spent, for his absentmindedness and &c
centricities, no less than for his genial
nature and charming manners. Every
trait of his character was inherited. His
father, for whom the dead associate JUS
tice was named, had his unusual cogno-
men selecIed for him by an eccentric
brother of his mother, who insisted
upon naming her children after his fav-
orite historical heroes.
Like Justice Lamar's personality, his
public career was remarkable. He
comes of one of the Oldest families in
Georgia. He was born in Putnam cOun-
ty in 1925, and after his fathers
death was taken to Oxford, Miss,
where his education may be said to have
begun. After acquiring all there was
to be learned in the Oxford schools,
young Lamar was sent to Emory college
in Georgia. He graduated in 1915, at
once commenced the study Of law in
Macon, Ga, and was admitted to the
bar two years later.
When hostilities began, Mr.. Lamar
accented a commission as lieutenant
colonel of the Nineteenth Mississippi
regiment. He was afterward promoted
to the colonelcy. and up to the day of
his death the people of his home town,
Oxford, almost always referred to him
as Colonel Lamar and seldom as senator
por judge. Ill health compelling his re-
tirement from actual service in the
field, Mr.. Lamar was sent as Confed-
crate commissioner to Russia. His
mission, as history relates, failed of its
purpose.
When the war closed he went back to
the University of Mississippi, where he
became professor of political economy
and social science in 1866, and was given
the char Of law a year later. He then
once more resumed his practice at the
bar, which he continued until he was
elected to congress in 1872. He was re-
elected IN 1874 and in 1876 was chosen
by the legislature as one of the represer ta-
| tives of his adopted state in the United
States senate. He remained in the SEN
ate until March 4, 1eSa, when he ac-
| cepted the portfolio of secretary of the
! interior rendered him by President Cleve-
land.
On Dec. 6, 1887, Mr.. Cleveland sent to
the senate the name of L. Q. G.. Lamar
to be associate justice of the United
| States supreme court, vice Justice
! Woods deceased. After some delay the
/ nomination was confirmed, and in the
i latter part OF January, 1888, he entered
upon the discharge of his duties. He
/ was twice married.
