Noted Missionary.

LONDON, Nov. 29.-Rev. Prof. James
Legge, d. D., LII. D., is dead, aged eighty
two years.
Professor Legge, in 1885, was appointed a
missionary to the Chinese legation, in con-
nection with the London Missionary So
ciety, and in December of that year arrived
at Malicca. Shortly after he took charge of
the Anglo-Chinese College, founded there in
1926 by Rev. DR.. Morrison From the Uni
versity of New York he received the degree
of doctor of divinity in 1912. The next year
he removed to Hong-Kong, where he re-
manned thirty years. in the discharge OF
missionary duties. In 1875 several gentlemen
connected with the China trade formed
themselves into committee to promote the
establishment of a chair of the Chinese
language and literature at Oxford, to be
occupied in the first place by DR.. Legge.
The university responded literally, and the
chair was constituted in 1876. DR.. Legge's
chief claim to literary distinction rests on
his edition of the Chinese classics, with the
Chinese text, a translation in English
with notes critical and eXegetical and cOpl-

that was expected in a few hours.
Mrs. Nick nley was distinctively home
loving woman, and the two-story frame
cottage on West Tuscarawas street in this
lived for many years, was dearer to her
than any other spot on earth.
There she spent he- declining days with
her daughter Helen and her grandchil-
dren, Grace and James Mckinley, re-
ceivng occasionally visits from her other
children, seldom going out except to

as be did.
1t was then that William Mckinley
showed the deep love he bore for his
mother by kissing her as soon as he had
received the announcement of the result
at St. Louis.
She was a frequent caller at his home
and was greeted by many of the visiting
delegations OF Republicans. She accom-
panied the President to the inauguration,
riding in the special train, and remained
in Washington until Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
kinley had become settled in their new
home. Then she returned to the Canton
cottage with expressions of gratitude at
getting home once more.

family subsequently, removed to Green
