DR.. Cyrus Hamlin Dead.

Rev. Dr. Cyrus Hamlin. famous as
| first President of Roberts College and
an own cousin of Hannibal Hamlin, is
| dead at the age of 50 years. He died
quite suddenly i'll Portland, Aug. Sth.
He was graduate from Bowdoin,
where he won fame as a student when
a little more than ~ years old took a
| three years course at Bangor seminary,
and preached during the last year of
the course in Portland and Worcester.
Later he was ordained minister of
the Congregational church. and when
he was little more than so he was
sent to Constantinople by the American
board OF commissioners for foreign
missions, and there was the scene of
his life-work. He left the active ser
vice of the American Board to Superin-
tend the erection of the Roberts Col
lege in Constantinople, and he also
founded the Bebex seminary. When he
left Constantinople, in 1878 he left behind
two institutions of higher learning,
many schools, and the basis for un-
limited missionary labor. He became
professor in Bangor seminary. and in
1850 become president of Middlebury
college i'll Vermont.
In 1885 he retired from active profess
sional service, and lived in Lexington,
Mass, with his wife.
He had Is children. five by his first
and eight by his second wife The eld-
est daughter is the wife Of Rev. DR..
Washburn, who is now the president of
Roberts college; the second daughter is
the wife of Prof. Charles Anderson of
Roberts college; the third daughter is
the wife of Rev. Lucius Lee of Marash,
Turkey, and four others are also living.
On Jan. 5.h last an informal reception
and luncheon were given at the Belle
vue, Boston, in commemoration of DR..
Hamlin's s9th birthday Many promi-
nent persons were present, and the ven
cradle doctor appeared to be well and
strong for one of his years.

SENATOR FRYE KEEPS HIS WORD.

SENATOR FRYE KEEPS HIS WORD.
There IL no more reliable and straight.
forward man In politics than the presi-
dent pro tempore Of the Senate, William
+. Frye, whose morals are as austere as
those OF his Puritan forebears, and
whose word Is as good as a Qulker's,
which cannot be said OF all his colleagues.
Some time ago q noted New Highlander
came to the capital for the purpose OF
transscting some business, Il matters lit
tie what, before one Of the departments.
IL was necessary 10 obtain the co-opera-
ton OF various members Of Congress
and Senators. Together with bis at
torney, he made call on certain dis
tinguished solon who WAS most cordial,
greeting the visiting Yankee "a though
he we're his long-lost brother; he grasp
ed him cordially by the hand, pstted
him on the shoulder, and altogether put
him In q pleasant mood. Everything he
asked the Senator 10 do was most will
ingly acceded TO, and the amisble politi-
cisu proposed to do even more than was
requested Of him.
There WAS nothing the matter with
the project, he said; Of course he would
indorse IL that very day; would instruct
his secretary to do so and so, and he
would himself do 30 and So" The man
from Yankeedom felt as II bis object
were attained.
"Fine, fine" he remarked to his COM
psnion, on leaving the Senator.
Nonsense" responded that worthy.
0Divide that BY hundred and you will
find out just what that man will do, II
he does anything. He Is jollier, and,
while he partially means what he says,
never gets the time to carry out his
promises. He has passion, however,
for making people feel good"
Their next visit was on Senator Frye,
who WAS pleasant but business-like, and
wasted no time In compliments. When
the matter was presented to him he asked
some terse questions.
"Your project IL a good one," he said,
finally. ~ will see the secretary"
II congratulate you, old man." re-
marked the lawyer TO his client. ~
congratulate you; your case Is prscti-
cslly won."
"what do you meang' asked his friend.
~ am utterly discouraged. Mr.. Frye
did not seem to take near As much inter-
est as Senator Blank, and he is the one ]
most depended upon"
Nonsense, nonsense" responded his
companion. IF Mr.. Frye says he will
do 4 thing 1t Is done. His word IL as
good as another mans OATH" And that,
indeed, Is the general reputation Of the
senior Senator from Maine.-Leslie's
Weekly.

1t Is very hard to stand idly by and see
our dear ones suffer while awaiting the
arrival of the doctor. An Albany On
" dairymsn called at drug store
there for doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. No,
finding the doctor In, he left word fol
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought bottle Of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In few hours he returned, say.
ing the doctor need not come, as the
child was much better. The druggist

since recommended Chamberlain's Cough
