HOADLEY BRAY IVES.
 The death of Hoadley Bray Ives removes one of New Haven's most conspicuous citi.
 gems. No face and figure were bette, known than his as he actively and firmly
 went about our streets intent on one or an. other of the many tasks which he had Es. himself to do. For more than threesoore years and ten he had lived and lahore q here. And during those years he grew from an ambitions, purposeful, fiery hearted boy, with nothing but himself to depend upon, into @ rich and influential man, e master In business, and a con. troller of the fortunes of many. And his growth was steady and sure. Few men have more fully succeeded In carrying out their intent than he, and few have done 1t with less hesitation and less variation. He made his progress surely and held 1t tensciously. And in go doing he displayed a mental quality for which he has perhaps not received sufficient credit from those who have not stopped to think about 1t. He was man of large ability in several ways. He was spacious and far seeing not alone in financial matters. His mind was quick and comprehensive. He was wise and 6 safe counsellor. He was deeply interested In public affairs and unusually well and accurately in- formed concerning them. He was g great reader and close and sensible reasoner. He was not deceived by the appearances of things, but went to the root of matters which he examined. He wss strictly and carefully honest. He was discerner and leicester of hypoc- risies and hypoorites. He was not afraid to cay what he thought, and what he thought was ususlly we'll worth attention. His great success in and his devotion to busi- ness narrowed his reputation. But he was man of brains as we'll as of business
 For man SO we'll known generally he was strangely little known as to some of his personal characteristics. He was mostly looked upon as the precise, exact ing man of business. But he was 8 warm and loyal friend where he gave his friendship and he stood by his friends without wavering and without question. To them he was Q tower of strength and he was glad to be. He was a good husband and his homs-life was pleas ant and contented. He was broadly relig- ious. He was an ardent apprecIator of the various manifestations of Nature. He was fond of long walks and drives in the coun- try. Every summer he spent his vacation In travel and he took great delight in plan ming his tours and recalling and describing them. He liked fun and could be humor- ous and keenly witty himself. His sppar- ant gruffness was often only put on. He would often do man favor while sppar- ently refusing 1t. And he liked children.
 MT. Ives had been 80 uniformly we'll and 30 uncommonly active; he had 30 success fully kept of the weakness and the decay that conquer most men long before they reach his age that the news of his illness was surprise to the community. His fellow citizens had not looked for him to drop so suddenly out of all that he had built and helped to build up. But he has gone, ard the places that have known him 30 long will know him no more. Farewell to the quaint, upright citizen, the efficient man of business, the good friend, peace to the persistent striver and rest to the tired worker!
