JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, May 6.-Gov.
Stephens was asked what he thought
of the resolutions adopted by the Cen
trail District Medical society at Mexico,
in which he was censured for placing
the Fulton lunatic asylum under the
control of the homeopathic. He said:
These resolutions remind me of some adopt
ed by some gentlemen who met not many years
ago on noted occasion. They resolved "a,
that this country is for the Lords people; re-
solved co. that we are the Lords people, and
therefore the earth and TIE fullness thereof is
ours, and we shall govern ourselves according
ly."
The governor added:
THE allopaths are not talking about me any
more bitterly than they are about themselves,
and if they can stand it 1 am sure can. 1
never saw two of them in my life agree pom
any one proposition with the exception of the
one that they deSpiSe the homeopaths and all
others who differ with them. I have however
no war to make upon them, and have treat
ed them since my inauguration courteous

Obituary..

HoBART.-Deacon James Hobart of Wor-
cester, died December I, 1897. He was the
son of Rev James and Betsy Perrin Hobart
was born in Berlin, March ~, 1907. His
father was the first settled minister in Berlin
and did much special work in this county.
Three of his sisters married minister's
He was married to Miss Sophia Strickland of
Berlin, April 26, 1912, and went to live in
Worcester about that sime. He took much
interest in the Congregational church and town
and exemplifed his christian profession by
an unusually humble, and prayerful life.
His truthfulness and honesty was marked by
all who knew him. Selfishness was not
seen in him, he would much rather wrong
himself than others. His regard for the
Sabbath day was great. He would not do
the least unnecessary work on Sunday, and
though feeble in the latter part of his life was
found as regular or more regular than any
other attendant at church. His fidelity to the
prayer meetings was the same, and his prayers
were fervent for the church, ministers, the
poor and his country He prayed much in
secret and kept list of ministers names for
whom he prayed. Up to eleven weeks before
his death, though feeble, he was very active,
but at that time fell and broke his leg from
which he did not survive and after suffering
much from weakness passed to the reward of
the faithful. He did well.
