CHARLES DICKENS.
Miss Kate Fields Lecture on the
Grenf NoYelist Saturday Night.

Miss Kate Field delivered her lecture on
Dickens Saturday night, In the banquet
hall of the Shoreham, before large audi
ence. After keen review of the life ard
character of the great novelist. Miss Field
closed her entertaining discourse with the
following effective description of the
writer's funeral:
Two street cabs, brougham, and a
hearse; thirteen mtn and women, around
an open grave; the lowering of plain
oaken coffin; the moaning of a great organ
the murmuring of an awe-stricken dean
this is the pageant of Charles Dickens
last journey. He lies with Englan1s best
and greatest, with tuaaful Handel gazing
heavonward above him, with johnson by
his side, with Garrick at his feet, with a
mighty congregation of kings and queens,
philosophers ard generals to sing hosanna
as they welcome him TO this wondrous city
of the dead.
But mightier is that congregation Of
living. humble souls, silently filling the
somber abbey from morn TO night, treading e
lightly lest the dead be walked, casting
flowers into the still open grave until the
dark void is made bright ana beautiful as
if with the bloom of everlas ding peace and
hope.
Last to linger is a woman, listening to
the voice of memory as il repeats the
words of him who lies quietly at her
feet. Oh, woman! God beloved in old Jeru-
salem, the pest among US nSSu deal ll2htly
with thy faults If only for the punishment
thy nature will endure in bearing heavy
evidence against US on the day of judg-
ment.
'Earth's day of judgment has come to
you, Charles Dickens. ana this grateful
woman casts flowers upon your grave for
your loyalty to friendship, for your loyal
ty to literature, for your loyalty to the
drama, for your love of truth, for your
love of children. for your tenderness to-
ward the outcasts of her sex. And as she
lets fall the last pansy IN her hand, she
murmurs: The old, old fashion, death! Oh,
thank God for all who see 1t, for that older
fashion yet of immortality, and look upon
him. angels of young children, with re-
CARDS not quite estransed, now the swift
river bears him to the ocean,
