YOUNG Mr.. KEIGWIES CAREER.
HAD THE BRIGHTEST PROSPECTS
IN LIFE AND EVERYTHING TO
LIVE FOR.

IN LIN II AANb A<N LIN L tilANd ~
LIVE FOR.
The death Of Ernest Farwell Kelg-
win, which was announced in the Even
ing Journal yesterday, occurred after a
years illness OF somewhat compli-
Gated character. Mr.. Keigwin, who was
% years old, graduated at Princeton
University, finished at the Princeton
Theological Seminary and became pas
tor of Old Scots Presbyterian Church,
in Philadelphia.
His health failed, and the congrega-
ton gave him an indefinite vacation,
about a year ago, In the hope that Il
might result in the restoration OF his
health. This expectation, however, was
not realized.
Mr.. Keigwin was the younger son of
Rev. A. N. Keigwin, pastor of West
Presbyterian Church, and a brother OF
Albert Kelgwin, pastor OF the First
Presbyterian Church, of Millvlle, New
Jersey. He was regarded as a man of
brilliant promise and won the highest
esteem of those with whom he was
brought in ministerial or personal re-
lations.
The funeral Is to take place on Mon.
day, at p. m, from his fathers home
No 1913 Park Place. with services at
West Presbyterian Church.
Since his return from New York
where he had been under the care d
the celebrated specialist, DIR. William
b. Coley, Mr.. Keigwin has been under
the constant care OF Or. Willard
Springer. In all his illness Mr. Keig-
win was cheerful, and Il was his won
derful will-power that kept him at his
work so long. The engagement OF Mr.
Kelgwin to Miss Grace Baird tn,
daughter OF Mr. and Mrs Charles
Baird. OF this city, was announced but
shore time ago.

is, AS YET. IGNORANT.
General Samuel A. Macallister has re-
ceiyed official notice OF his appoint
ment as consul at Barbados.
He Immediately appeared before
United States Commissioner S. Rod
mond Smith and took the oath of office.
and it and his official bond have been
forwarded to Washington. Just when
he and his family will leave for his
post has not been decided. but IL will
be within thirty days. The place is
understood to be worth from 81 500 to-
$4,000 year.
Barbados is a charming place. 1t is
in the line of the trade winds. The
mean temperature is from 20 to SO de-
grees and the maximum temperature is
81. The island is like a beautiful
garden, nearly the whole OF it being un-
der cultivation. Il is the principal
military station Of the British West In
dies and a touching place for all ship
ping coming from South America. 1t is
also coallng station. In view OF the
fact that the naval vessels OF every
country shop there and that many dis
tinguished travellers stop there, the so
cial functions OF the American consul
are sometimes burdensome. When these
visitors come the governor, officials
and people give balls and banquets,
which the American consul Is expected
to attend, but of course his meagre sal
airy does not permit him to return these
| hospitalities. The people Of Barbados
appreciate the situation. They are very
l thoughtful and try to make him forget
such obligations. In other words, the
social attractions Of the place are of
the first order.
There are two colleges and a number
i of grammar schools on the island. 1t is
the see of a bishop: the church OF Eng
| land is the established religion, and the
4 bishop and clergy are supported by the
crown. 1t has a governor. an Execu-
tive Council, a Legislative Council anC
a House of Assembly, composed of two
members from each parish and two
from the town of Bridgetown. the CAPT
tai, or twenty-four in all. There Is
garrison there OF nearly 500 men unde

ment. There is a chief justice, a mum
Der of other judges, Court OF Chan
