 The funeral of John Addison Porter
 will be held at Trinity church, this city,
 tomorrow afternoon at o'clock The
 obsequies will be held with as little ostentation as possible, in difference to
 the wishes of Mrs. Porter and the fam
 fly.
 1 The services will be conducted by the
 Rev. Dr. Baker, rector of Trinity
 church, and the Rev, Dr. F. s. Lines, rector of St. PauPs Episcopal church, a lifelong friend of MT. Porter. A full choral service will participate in the solemn ceremonies.
 The remains will be brought to New

 The interment will be in Evergreen cemetery where are buried MT. Porter's of Yale; MT. Porters brother Edgar and MT. Porter's oldest son.
 The survivors of the class of '7S, Yale, in which MT. Porter graduated, are so widely separated that it would be inn possible for them to take any formal action at present upon his death, or in the way of appointing delegation to attend his funeral Nothing in this re- spect can possible be done until the next class reunion. Only two members of the class reside in New Haven now. They are former Congressman James P. Pigott and Henry w. Lamb, formerly of the New Haven Woodward. Hon. W. H. Law, formerly of New Haven, but now of New York, is also a member of the class
 The class of '78 developed some dis men, among whom may be mentioned Judge " H. Taft, the pres ent head of the Philippine commission; Edward E. Whitney, son of the late Professor Whitney of Yale, formerly assistant attorney general in Cleve- lands administration, and Henry M. Hoyt, the present assistant attorney general
 MT. Porter was a member of the Scroll and Keys society, which his fla ther assisted in founding. It is thought | that the active pallbearers will be se ectedd from among his fellow members n that society in accorance with custom inaugurated at the funeral of | he late Hon. E. J. Phelps, at which the ' members of the secret society to which le belonged acted as the active pail bearers.
 A warm tribute to the memory of the ate John Addison Porter was yesterday paid by President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale university. President Hadley aid.
 "In the death of John Addison Porter
 have lost valued personal friend as veil as man who could be trusted to To good service for Yale and for his We were born in New Haven within a few days of one another; we ttended school together from the very arliest years, and though our subse- uent life brought us into different lines either of us ever forgot this early 
 His interest in Yale was unremit- ing and his work effective More than nee, when progress seemed to halt, his and kept alive an activity among the raduates which strengthened the ands of the reformers at New Haven nd prevented Yale from falling be- ind.
 His public work speaks for itself and eeds no commendation. Even among l is opponents there was no question of is integrity and his loyalty to his con- ictions. In the last and greater pub- r c place which he was called upon to q Il he served the nation as I believe no lan in similar position has ever done t sfore" S
