In this his wish was granted. His last
illness was OF only one weeks duration,
and not until few hours before his
death did he realize that death was near.
He had just said to DR.. Enfield, his ply
stefan, doctor l shall be up and about
again, in day or two" A few minutes
later his faithful companion in life. told
him that the doctor had said that his
recovery was impossible. He then said.
Il am ready and willing to go. 1 only
hope that the end may come quickly"
And then. with all the strength and
vigor of his youth and as Of power given
him from above he sang with great faith
and trust, that immortal hymn written
by Hosea Ballou:
In Gods eternity there shall day arise
When all the race of man shall be with Jesus
In the Skies"
"There'll be no sorrow there,
There'll be no sorrow there;
In heaven above, where all is love.
There'll be no sorrow there"
Mr.. Porter's last words were, II am
ready to go, the sooner the better, for my
faith is paramount to all others, because
it contains all that theirs does and a
great deal MORE"
His work in Clarinda has not been
long, but he, with his earnest wife, has

A Good Man Gone sketch of His Life
The Funeral Impressive Coincidence
In Connection with His Death.

at 155 o'clock. at his home in that city.
aged eS years, one month and IA days.
His death was the result of conditions
growing out of Inflammation of the liver
and kidneys, from which he was suf-
ferer in his last sickness.
Mr.. Porter had lived in Clarinda only
a few months, himself and wife having
but recently moved there to take up the
work of the Universalist parish, but
during his short residence he had gained
many friends by his sterling qualities,
and his death was the occasion of much
sadness throughout the city as we'll as 10
places where he had formerly resided.
Mr.. Porter's wife and son were with
him when he died. The latter. Rev.
George j. Porter. of St Louis, also a
Univereallst minister, had IN his pocket
at the time of his fathers death, gold
watch which had belonged to the latter
but which he bad given to his grandson,
the son Of Rev. George j. Porter. The
iatter's father had but just passed away
when he consulted the time piece and
found that it had stopped running, the
main spring having broken, and as re-
suit Of conversation with gentleman at
the bedside of the lifeless form, it was
learned that the spring in the watch had
been suudered at the moment Of the
death of it's former owner.
The funeral was held Thursday after
noon at the Universalist church. The

Washington, Dec. 24.-Ihe house re-
sponded to the presidents message by
pigeonholing the resolution for a holt
day recess and preparing to go to
work to provide means for the relief
Of the treasury. There was no diff
ference of opinion, on the surface at
least, that congress should in the
emergency to which Mr.. Cleveland
had called attention, remain at It's
post. The speaker announced the COM
mittees and the desks were cleared
for business. The ways and

referred, Immediately proceeded to or.

BILE in bringing about a very pointed
statement from Mr.. Dubois, who was
understood TO voice the views of the
silver element in the senate, that no
financial legislation was possible
along the lines desired by President
Cleveland, and strenuously urged in
the message. 1t was patent TO every
senator. Mr.. Dubois said, and should
be understood by the country. that the
presidents desire for the retirement
Of the greenbacks or the authorization
Of a bond issue were utterly impossi-
BILE OF accomplishment. The only ac-
ton the senate would take If it was
given the opportunity to vote would
be to adopt the resolution of Mr.. Vest
Dem. Mo-, offered earlier In the day,
directing the coinage of silver bullion
in the treasury and the payment Of
government obligations in silver. The
only immediate response to the pres
ldent's message was in the presenta-
ton of two resolutions favorable to

by MI. Butler. the new Populist mem-
Der from North Carolina, proposing
gold payments while the metals were
