THOMAS F. BAYARD DEAD.
Famous Delaware Statesman Passes
Away mt Dedhnm, Mnss.-sketch
of HIS Career.

Dedham, Mass, Sept. 2o.-Thomas
F. Bayarddied at half-past four o'clock
Wednesday afternoon at Karlstein, the
summer residence of his daughter,
Mrs. Samuel ID. Warren, after an ill
ness of six weeks. His death was with
out pain. His wife, his two daughters
Mrs. Warren and Miss Florence Bay
ard-and his son, Thomas F., Jr., saw
him draw his last breath, and his third
daughter, Countess Lauenhaupt, was
on her way TO Dedham.
Thomas Francis Bayard was born in
Wilmington. Del, October %, 1928. and was
a younger son. In his thirteenth year he
entered school at Flushing, l.. l. Here he
remained two years At the expiration OF
that period being intended by his father
for mercantile pursuits, clerkship was
obtained for him In the establishment OF
Mr.. Bayard's brother-in-law. August Van
Cortlandt Schermerhorn. Here he received
an excellent business training.
In JS4S his elder brother died. whereupon,
at the request of his parents. he returned
to Wilmington Having a liking for his
fathers profession, that of law, he became
student with that end In view and was
admitted to the bar in 1851. He immediate
ly began the practice OF his profession with
his father, and was successful from the
beginning, his local fame spreading rap
idly. In 1853 he was appointed United
States district attorney for Delaware. but
resigned in the following year
Meanwhile Mr.. Bayard's popularity In
his native state kept growing rapidly, and
in 1865 he was elected to succeed his father
In the United States senate. and was sub
sequently twice reelected 1t Is note
worthy that on the day he was elected to
the senate for the full term. his father
>(who had resigned was also reelected
senator from Delaware to serve the unex-
pired part of his original term. This Is the
only case of a father and son being voted
for by the same legislature to fill the sena-
torial Offices.
Almost at the outset of his senatorial

Scholars hold it far from certain
that the heraldic fleur-de-lis original
ly represented any flower whatever,
and adduce strong evidence to the con-
trary, but for all practical purposes
the emblem of the people is what they
wish to have it and suppose it to be;
and so, however it may have come
about, The silly of France" is now
doubtless kind of iris. At the same
time it is not kind which, like the blue
flag, of our meadows, is native only to
America. Furthermore, as the French
fleur-de-lis was always emblazoned in
gold, and as one of the commonest Eu-
ropean species has yellow flowers, we
may pretty safely conclude that this
yellow iris Is the floral emblem of
France. AS regards the CYCLIC of the
Florentines, there can be no question
that it is the white-fowered IRIS Flor
entine.-Boston Traveller.

career Mr.. Bayard took leading position

career Mr.. Bayard took leading position
on the democratic side
In October, 1856, Senator Bayard was
married to Louisa, daughter of Joshua
Lee a Baltimore banker Twelve children
were the result of the union. In 1877 Sem
ator Bayard received the honorary degree
of LII. D.. from Harvard college,
When the democratic national convention
was held in 1880 his friends rallied in force
to secure his nomination for the presi-
dency and such was their strength and the
popular feeling for him that on the first
ballot he stood next to Hancock, who was
nominated on the second. In the democrat
ic convention of 1884, at which Mr.. Cleve-
land was nominated, Mr.. Bayard received
the next largest vote to the successful
candidate on the two ballots which were
taken.
As soon as the result of the national
election of 1884 was positively known, Mr..
Bayard was the first democratic statesman
invited to consult with President Elect
Cleveland, and II was generally under
stood that he was the first man offered a
place in the new cabinet-and the leading
place at that. This he finally accepted.
although It is said he was strongly adj
vised by leading democrats not to enter the
cabinet at all. as his departure from the
senate would tend TO weaken the strength
of the party in that body.
At the close of Mr.. Clevelands admins
tration Mr. Bayard returned to private
life and to his legal profession.
In March. 1923 Mr.. Bayard was appointed
ambassador To the court of st. James. and
served during Mr.. Clevelands second term.
Mr.. Bayard's first wife died during the
first year of his term as secretary OF state.
Four years later he was married TO Miss
Mary w. Clymer, of Washington, Who
survives him. Seven of the children are
living, as follows: Mrs Samuel ID, War
rem, of Boston; Miss Annie ID. Bayard. Miss
Florence Bayard, Countess Lauenhaupt,
formerly Miss Nellie Bayard; James A.
