in general knowledge Ct the law, in
legal acumen, in the presentation of a
case to a jury, and as a thoroughly furn-
ished lawyer he probably had no superior
in the State.
Strength, clearness, and perspicuity
were characteristics of his speeches.
Knowing exactly what he wished to say
he always made himself understood by
others There was nothing of the trick
ster in him.
Honesty and fairness in his methods
were characteristic of the man, and he did
not lack consideration for his opponents.
"He brought noble Christian manhood
into his profession and kept it unsullied.
He was a Christian lawyer. He was
model citizen. Although he had no politi-
cal aspirations he did not shirk the duties
of citizenship.
ION May 20, 1873, he was married to
Miss Mary Carroll, of Warren county. His
home life was an ideal one. Love reigned
supreme. He was devoted to his wife
and children, and they to him. His kind

For many years he had been a mem

Business men had unwavering confidence
in his integrity in business matters. Law

from doing what he believed to be right.
Strength and beauty mingled in his
life, and gentleness was the flower and

the German government, has arrived here
on his way home. On being asked if he

the powers had started in upon long
bloody conflict. In the end the Boxers
will be disbanded, he said, but the sac

movement is spreading like wi!dlire. The
southern Boxers will, he says, join the

struggled to them, and owing to the vast
territory covered they can for some time
