was the dying request of DR.. Thorn
as Robertson of New York, who
died last week, that no religious
services be held over his remains.
but that his friend Ingersoll be in
vited to perform the ceremony.
The great agnostic couldn't be
present, but he wrote the following
beautiful Grafton and sent it by his
VIE, and it was read at the grave
by \. II. Hammel, a LAWYER:
IN the pulseless hush of death,
silence seems more expressive, more
appropriate than speech.
In the presence of the great
Mystery-the Mystery that waits
to enshroud us alive feel the use
lessness of words. But when a
fellow mortal reached his journeys s
end, when the darkness from which
he emerged has received him again.
it is but natural for his friends to
mingle with their grief expressions
of their love and loss.
He who lies before us in the
sleep of death was my friend, and
| was his. He was generous to his
fellow-men, and his hands were al
ways swift to help, eager to save.
He pitied the friendless, the hope
less.
He was proud of his profession,
the noblest; proud of his skill, his
success. He was quick to decide,
to act; prompt, tireless, always
forgetful of self.
He lengthenedIife and conquer
ed pain. Hundreds are well and
happy now because he lived. This
is enough. This puts star above
the gloom of death.
He was sensitive to the last
degree, quick to feel a slight, to
resent wrong, but in the warmth
of kindness the thorn of hatred
blossomed and bore the fruit of
friendship.
He was not quite fashioned for
this world, The fints and thorns
OF life's highway buried and pierre
ed his flesh, and for his wounds he
did not have the blessed balm Of
patience.
He felt the manacles, the limi-
tations, the Imprisonment of life,
and so, within the walls and
bars he wore his very soul away.
He could not breast the storms.
The tides, the winds, the waves,
in the morning of his life, dashed
his frail bark against the rocks.
He fought as best he could, and
that he fell is not his fault.
He was honest, generous and
courageous - three great virtues.
He was a true and steadfast friend,
seeing only the goodness of the
ones he loved. Only a great and
noble heart is capable of this.
But he has passed beyond the
reach of praise or blame, passed to
the realms of rest, to the waveless
calm of perfect peace.
The storm is spent, the winds
are hushed, the waves have died
along the shore, the tides are still,
the aching heart has ceased to beat, |
and within the brain all thoughts
all hopes and fears, ambitions,
rejoicings and regrets,
al images and pictures of the
world he knew, as though they had
not been.
And yet hope, the child of love,
he deathless, beyond the darkness
sees the dawn.
And we who knew and loved
aim, we, who now perform the last
sad rites, the last that friendship
.an suggest, will keep his memory
green
Dear friend, farewell. If we

Provo, May 5.-Patriotic sentiment in
Provo reached its height this morning,
when the citizens met to say farewell
TO the boys who have enlisted as volun-
teers. There have been several patri-
otto gatherings in Provo lately, but
none OF them have appropriated in
size the crowd which assembled at the
depot TO say. goodbye to the young SOL
diers. The meeting place was at the
First National bank corner, and from
there, headed by Darton's band, the re-
cruits and the people marched to the
station. There were many whose eyes
were wet with tears, and some Of the
.partings were touching in the extreme.
AT the railroad station Reed Smoot de-
hyered the farewell address, in which
enjoined upon them the duty Of obey
ing their superiors, and assured them
of the heartfelt appreciation and ad-
Hiiration of the people of Provo. AS
the boys passed into the special car
which was to carry them to Salt Lake,

SPRINGVILLE TURNED OUT.
Patriotic Music and Stirring Scenes
at the Depot.

Springvilie, Utah, May 5-The arri-
val in this city of the special train
carrying the volunteers was greeted by
six or seven hundred people this morn
ing, who were present to bid farewell to
the five boys who were called from this
city. The volunteers all assembled at
the bank corner, together with the sill
yer corIfet band and the different fife
and drum corps, and all marched to
the Rio Grande depot, the column being
Joined at every step by citizens.
The special stopped here for nearly
half an hour, and during that time the
bands discoursed patriotic airs. The
volunteers sang songs and 600 people
cheered themselves hoarse in their en-
thusiasm. Many stores were closed.
and business in town generally was at
a standstill.
Many of the volunteers, who had not
received orders to report, went to Salt
Lake to be as near the scene as posi-
BILE. Each of the five boys to go from
here received a purse of $40, the con-
tributiOn made by patriotic citizens
This was in addition to the funds raised
at the dance few nights since.

OUR RIGHT TO PHILIPPINES
FREDERICK R. COUDERT, AN EN-
INENT AUTHORITY.
Argument Based On European Prece-
dent, Citing German Possession of
Alsace-Lorraine.

New York, May 5.-Frederick R.
Coudert, the eminent lawyer and ju-
rist, who represented the United States
in the Boring sea commission, in an
interview, gave his views of the dis
position of the Philippines as follows:
The United States has the right to
either hold the Philippines for indem-
nifty or to keep them altogether as part
Of her territory. just as Germany took
Alsace-Lorraine in the Franco-P rus-
sian war. We may keep possession of
them until hostilities are ended, and
then their disposition will be one Of the
factors in the making of peace.
We would, of course, have to respect
the vested rights of other nations in
the islands, if they have any. These
rights would include coaling stations,
liens and mortgages on custom houses
and claims of that nature. Spain can
not give US any more than she owns
IF we can find sufficient indemnity
nearer home, for instance, in Cuba, we
would possibly content ourselves with
holding the Philippines during hostili-
ties for use as military or naval base,
but if adequate indemnity could not be
procured in this hemisphere, then we
would hold Manila until Spain pays up.
Some arrangement would be made
whereby we would keep possession for
a certain number of years while Spain
was paying the installments of the in
demnity. This is all a matter of con-
tract and agreement between nations.
IN regard to the selling or transfer
of the islands to another power by the
United States, that could not be done
until we had valid title to the islands,
which can be obtained only by treaty
of peace with Spain, in which she cedes
the islands TO us. Otherwise we would
be selling a disputed title and the
country that purchased it would have
to reckon with Spain.
THE law is the same among nations
in this respect as among private per-
sons. This law was observed between
France and Austria in 1859, when Pied
mont was turned over by Austria to
France, and by France handed over to
King Victor Emanuel
THE theory of modern times is that
principality or province should not be
turned over to another without the con-
sent of its people, and a plebiscite is
usually held as in the case of Nice and
Savoy.
"Once having secured title from
Spain, however, by a treaty of peace
there could be no legal international OBJ
lection to our disposing of the islands.
either by ceding or selling them to any
nation we chose, or by offering them
" Ile HlSheSt pluueT, Out Sucn pro-
ceeding would cause jealousy and bad
feeling among nations.
But this is not war of conquest
and l Go not think that the United
States would resort to any such prac-
tice. But we have a legitimate claim
against Spain for the expenses of the
war, and Spain must pay the costs.
When that is done, the United States. L
believe, will relinquish all claims to the
Philippine Islands and return them ito

Samuel Wycherley, were officially in

the service of Uncle Sam. They also
then received notification that they
were TO equip themselves with blankets,
Undertaking, etc, which seems I'M
usual, but a subscription list circulated
soon realized enough to fit the boys
cut in good shape. A meeting to give
the boys a good send-off at O'Clock
last night filed the school house with
enthusiastic citizens, and a patriotic
programme was carried out.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. j. j. Jones, when Hon. Alma
Eldredge was elected chairman. He re-
sponded amid applause, and in a neat
and truly patriotic speech, thanked the
assembly for the honor.
The national hymn was sung by the
whole audience and roundly applauded,
followed by a speech from Hon. George
Beard, who eulogized the volunteers
and applauded their courage.
The volunteers then each responded
with q short speech.
Mrs. Lena Thackeray then favored
the audience with 1.-THE Star-spangled
Banner" which was cheered to the
echo. ]. ]. Jones made a spirited patri-
otic speech, eulogiZing everything
American, denouncing everything

Commodore Dewey, the United States
navy and army and our Coalville vol
unteerS. Mark Hopkins made an elo-
quent address and said his respect,
good will and confidence went with the
volunteers of Utah and especially those
of Coalyille. Three ladies responded
cheerfully to calls with speeches, in

ment to the volunteers and told the
boys what they expected of them.
These ladies were Mrs. c. I. Wheaton.
Mrs. John Calls and Miss Baker They
were followed by. Lawrence E. Ed
redge, Walter NJ. Boyden and J. a.
Smith.

cheers and a tiger We're then freely
given to the brave volunteers of Coal

handshaking took place and the meet
ing adjourned.
Under the auspices of the Ladies'
as. B. L." society, the volunteers, with
their families and a few friends, after
the meeting went home with Mrs. Alma
Eldredge, where a superb luncheon was
served in such a generous, loyal, patri-
otto and free good will style, that the
boys who depart and their friends who
remain will long remember the event.
Nearly every spec er of the evening
paid high tribute to the United States
navy and army, particularly to the
glorious victory of Admiral George
Dewey.

style, the stars and stripes covering
the walls, while on all sides of the large

AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE.
Their Little Sisters Take Part In the
Farewell Exercises.

Farewell Exercises.
Gunnison, Utah, May Six of the
II volunteers enlisted from here re-
ceived their calls yesterday. An al
most inexpressible sadness possessed

lucky ones. pride themselves upon the
opportunity afforded to defend the
cause of the oppressed.
A demonstration was given the boys
on Tuesday night, in the course of
which suitable programme was
rendered a banquet served, and with
an outburst of patriotism, never before
witnessed here. A subscription was
started and about 5000 was collected
for distribution among the boys. AT
the hall. which was beautifully decor
ated, the volunteers were seated on
the stage under a canopy of national
colors festooned with wreathes and
garlands of ribbon and flowers. The
presentation of a medal and g. bouquet
to each with appropriate remarks
formed an impressive scene. The
bearers of the gifts We're the little
sisters of the recruits. Scarcely a dry
eye was TO be found in the audience.
A long procession went to the station,
three miles from town, when the boys
left for camp. The local coop made
them a handsome present and closed
for the day in their honor.

A Months Paw In Advance.

Heber, May 5.-Never in the history
of this county has "a scene been wit
messed like that which took place last
evening in the large dancing hall of
Turner & Sons. Fully 500 people as
sembled in honor of the volunteers,
who were ready to leave. The affair
was grand success in every particular
and the citizens manifested their ap-
probation in very substantial man
ner. The city council took the initiative
and. whenever the people and their
leaders here attempt to do anything it
is done right.
Early in the afternoon the brass band
made its appearance on the street,
drawn by a team of the finest horses
in the city. The band enthused the
people and prepared them for the even
ing. And when the time arrived for
opening the entertainment, an enthusi-
astic crowd was ready for an enjoyable
time, and they had it; too, in a right
royal manner.
Mr.. George Wooiton acted as master
of ceremonies. National songs, patri-
otto speeches and dancing reigned SUI
preme for several hours. A number of
speeches were made. The boys were
each given months pay in advance

Pennington, May 5.-One of the most
notable demonstrations ever seen in
Bountiful occurred today in honor OF
the six volunteers who left for Camp
Kent to be mustered in. In pursuance
Of the proclamation of Mayor Wiley a
half holiday was observed, and the en-
tire populace assembled at the Bounti-

in case any more recruits are needed.
Pennington has one eminently patri-
otto 60 citizen, who has not enlisted.
The gentleman was a defeated candi-
date for a county office at the last cleo
ton on the retrenchment ticket, and a
yearning for economy still burns within
him. Last night he glanced at the
stars and stripes floating over the court
house and the expense of having a flag

seemed to nettle him. To a county Off
cial he remarked that as g, taxpayer
he objected to the flag being used in
that manner" and said it should be
taken down. His name is Jacob Mil
Ter. And the flag still waves.

Twelve Hundred People Cheer the De-
parting Volunteers.

Mt. Pleasant. May 5.-Fully 1000
patriotic men, women and children
made up a demonstration and scene
today which for genuine feeling and
enthusiasm is far ahead of ANYTHING
ever witnessed in this city. 1t was
a parting demonstration in honor Of
Mt. Peasants quota of volunteers,
who left at noon for Salt Lake CITY,
in answer to the call that they had
been accepted. The marching volun
teers. a band discoursing patriotic
airs, hundreds of school children, wav-
ing. flags and carrying banners, and a
number of large flags flying in the
breeze made up a scene which moved
the hundreds who followed on the side
walks to cheer most heartily and
Justify. AT the depot the parting from
loved ones was pathetic, but a mighty
rousing cheer was the parting salute
as the BOYS were borne away on the
train.
Mt Pleasant has most enthusiastic
cally redeemed herself from any
stigma that may have fallen upon her.
