ASSACH USETTS AVENUE,
June 13. 1894.
I sent for a priest to come to me
the night my husband died; he was
wholly unconscious and past the
ministrations of any one. He never
expressed his belief in the Catholic
church, but the contrary. | only
asked the priest TO pray for him to
comfort me. | bought the lot on
the high hill, as you say, the day af-
ter my husband died and told Char
les Vance of my wishes at the same
time. | told him he could have his
mother put there if he wished. His
father had often expressed his deter
mination to leave his wife where she
was buried, in the Presbyterian
church yard, as he thought she
would have preferred. His sister
SO stated the day | bought the lot.

-OXEYSM GAMING GROUND IN NORTH
CAROLINA.

CAROLINA
The Charlotte Observer saws:
zone of the hopeful signs of the
times in North Carolina is the grow
ing sentiment in favor of better
roads. There is an awakening on
the subject. Quite a number of the
counties, at the meetings of the mag
istrates and commissioners last Mon-
day, took steps looking to the work
ing of their convicts on their public
highways. In no direction is educa-
ton progressing more rapidly in
North Carolina than in this. The
people are seeing that bad roads are
costing them too much"
The "good roads cranks' of North
Carolina should have another con-
vention and invite General Coxey.

Downing as the Lion. Hearted King
of England.

"Ricbard, the Lion Hearted" King of Eng
land, was presented by Robert Downing at the
California Theater last night as he lives in the
hearts OF the lovers OF the most romantic period
OF English history. Magnificent In his proper
tions leoDine in his blonde beauty, Downing
pictured a kindly, magnanimOus and noble
man, whose every impulse was kingly. He did
this successfully, and naturally the audience
was pleased. calling him aud Miss Blair before
the curtain after the second act and rewarding
their admirable presentation OF the many strong
situations with generous applause.
Miss Blair, as usual, shared the bopors of the
evening. AS Princess OF Navarro she was be-
trothed 10 Richard. They meet in the hut of
Frlar Tuck In the forest and learn 10 love. The
sympathy OF the audience Is won by Miss Blair
before she speaks line, and she loses none OF
IL. MIR. Amory's Frlar Tuck could hardly be
improved upon. Mr.. Hayes, as Blondel, was
another favorite.
The play was written by A. ID. Hall, the
adaptor of Fedora la Tosca," and other
novels, expressly for Mr.. Downing, The idea

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES,
The Dead Poet Receives a Warm
Tribute From Prof. KuowIton.

The members of the Mechanic.' Institute
were given literary treat last evening In their
rooms On Post street. The entertainment was
in the form Of an able and instructive address
upon the late DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes by
Professor Knowlton OF Stanford University.
The lecturer had been pupil OF The poet
when DIR. Holmes was an instructor at Harvard
College, and many Of the humorous and witty
stories and sayings related last night were
from personal experience.
The lecturer placed very high estimate upon
the works OF DIR. Holmes. He said if he were
sSked what book lie considered the best literary
product In the English language he would be
compelled 10 reply, 1.-THE Autocrat at the
Breakfast-table." He claimed that be had read
il through over twenty time s, and he expected
to read IL twenty times more.
Professor knowltor sandwiched his lecture
with number OF recitas OF some of Homes
shorter poems. The ode entitled THE Boysu
was given in a true college spirit.
In concluding his address Professor KDoWl-
ton said: II know OF no WORKS 10 the whole
round OF English literature that furnishes az
much purity aud simplicity OF thought, such
wonderful wealth and variety of expression a,
those OF DIR. Holmes. The autocrau is more
than an essayist-he is poetical contemplatiye

THE LAKE POETS.
A Lecture by Professor william
Daliam ArrneS.

Datiam ArrneS.
In the University of California extension
course Ihe first of a series OF six lectures on
the poets OF the nineteenth century was given
Yesterday evening at The auditorium OF the
Y. M Z. A. by Professor William Dallam
Armes.
Inc lecturer began his remarks by alludIng
TO the spirit OF the eighteenth century, the
Strength oil which lay neither in poetry nor art,
put IN breadth OF understanding. Writer'S did
not 20 10 nature they took the classics as their
modes and he poetry hat resulted was arti.
nclal and lacking In imagination. Pope and
MS CONTEMPORARIES were devoid OF IMAGINATION
and spiritual force. Cowper. Burns and Crabbe
uncOnsclously led he way TO a rebellion against
the Ideals and standards OF the earlier part OF
the century. This rebellion was conscious on
tne part Oi Wordsworth C0eTidge and Southey.
Inc poe OF the Lake School were described,
the professor pointing out the fact that be-
yond their having inhabited the English
Lake District simultaneously, and that friend
snip existed between them. there was little
real alHnlly 10 be found uniting them. COle'
ridge was described asia magnfcent dreamer;
S0 ord as Flooding maker oil BOOKS os an0
was sublime gift that carried with il obliga'
tons.
The Utopian scheme OF soulhey and COleridge
wnen they were young college men was TO
come 10 America and found an ideal colony on
the banks OF The Susqueha anna, where TWO
hours work from each member OK the oand
would supply all the simple needs oi the
colonlsts. Other enthusiasts were found willing
to adopt the poers idea; the only drawback
was lack OF money, and owing 10 this the
youthful writer's were compelled to abandon
their idea aud remain at home. COlerldge soon
after settled near Bristol, where he met Words
worth, and a literary partnership was started
between them, which. In spite OF their TREND
ship, soon fell through. In 1893 Wordsworth
settled In the lake district Coleridge soon fol-
lowed, and Southey Joined them In 1903.
The lecture concluded with an account OF
Southeys hard-working. industrious life, and
Wordsworth's mOdestly prosperous career,
which placed him above the necessity OF hav-
Ing 10 lower his ideals in order 10 make money.
CoIeridge, 1.-The poets poeT," left no record of
strenuous endeavor. He was full of plans, but
be lacked the application 10 finish them.
