illustrious names than that of 1892, but
among these are names that will live
long in the history of the times as lead
ers of thought and action in the great
forces of civilization. In religion, sci

thropy and business death struck at
those who were recognized rs tho lead
ers of men. In science Professor Iyn-
dali stood as one of the foremost men OF
the times; in religion Bishop Phillips
Brooks influence was confined to no de-
nomination of the Christian church IN
craftsmanship James G.. Blaine and
President Hayes had taken rank clear
above the lines of p~artisaushlp at home
and were recognized as among our
foremost public men abroad; in iltera-
ture and scholarship Taine was aishin-
