locked until the last moment, a crowd
Of several hundred people had gather

HAYS TRIBUTE.
The following tribute to Mr. Bayard
was written by Secretary of State John
Hay:
"The news of Mr.. Bayard's fatal i'll
ness-followed so swiftly by the tidings
Of his lamented death-came upon his
many friends with a singular shock.
One of the elements of the remarkable
charm which distinguished him was his
persistent youthfulness. His handsome
face was always young; he had the
voice and bearing of buoyant youth;
his enthusiasms and quick emotions
were those Of a pure-minded and high
spirited boy.
His scOrn of everything base or
mean; his disregard Of consequences in
the pursuit of what he thought right;
his frank expectation Of that sympathy
which he was so ready to give; his be-
lief in the sincerity of others, being
, himself absolutely sincere; all these
qualities, even more than his good
looks and gallant bearing, gave the i'm
preston not only of a young man, but
of one who would always be young. II
is hard to think that the rigid limit OF
three score and ten years should be the
NJ term Of SO much activity and energy
Both the fine vitality and power o.
such a character will survive his death
. In the affection Of those who knew
5 him, as a model and example to those
= who admired him, he will live long as
r an enduring memory and a wholesome
! inspiration"
