REV. EDWARD T. KENNY.
Death of Great Student and Man of
learning and Of Love.
Especial Dispatch to The Zines


NEWCASTLE VA. October 2o-Never in
the history OF Newcastle has there passed
away a more beloved man than was
buried here this week. Rev Edward T.
Kenny died at the home of his son-in-law,
Mr.. Howard w. Yoder, on Monday morn
ing He was in the SiNty-Seventh year
of his age. Mr.. Kenny came here to live
nearly seven years ago, and in that time
had so endeared himself to the people
of this and adjoining counties that his
death is felt to be 4 great public calami-
ty Rarely has there ever been in this
obscure part of the mountains of Virginia
man so gifted with great learning. His
pastor said at his funeral that he was
considered an authority on theology, and
that his learning was so wide and covered
so MANY branches that he might have been
an authority on many other branches OF
metaphysics. He was, from a very small
child, always a student OF the great
mysteries of life and its relation to the
Creator, and at seventeen, or eighteen,
was a minister of the Gospel in his sec
ton of the world-Philadelphia.
He was born in Philadelphia In 1883
August 5th In 1865 Mr.. Kenny was adj
mitted to the Philadelphia Conference of
the NJ. E. Church He served faithfully
and his service was a distinguished one
for twenty-three years. Then his health
became impaired and he was retired
His health was quite poor when he came
here to live, but the quiet, the beauties OF
the locality. the fresh air and freedom
and the absence of factories and war and
hustle of life so soothed and healed him
that he improved, and obtained license
to preach again. This he has done in
many a poor log church far in the re-
cesses of the mountains and in more
favored localities. He has indeed been a
missionary, and has seen need OF work
and embraced every opportunity.
Mr.. kenny's influence together with that
of his sanity wife and other friends We're
largely instrumental in building lovely
little church of his denomination an New
castle. and his personal influence IN the
village for good cannot be overestima ted.

Dignity of the Revelation.

The calm dignity with which this Rev
olution was inaugurated. the ties of ale
glance sundered. the solemn declaration
made that henceforth these colonies We're
to be free and independent states, and the
solemn appeal of the representatives Of
the people tOaposterty for the rectitude
of their intentions is one Of the grandest
and most imposing events in history.
When. in all time, have any other people
inaugurated revolution and confronted
death with such fearless dignity? No
violence marked the grandeur Of this
great act. But the calm recital of wrongs
and expressions is followed by the de-
cisive step and the solemn appeal to the
Supreme Judge of the world. How
striking the contrast with other nations

SAD FQURTHS OF JULY.
Gloomy Days, When Sorrow Took
the PIace9of Rejoicing

The saddest Fourths Of JGiy in the his
tory Of the nation were those of the years
Of the civil war The day was no longer
the day Of rejoicing Of a united people,
and brother fought brother with valor
never surpassed il the history of the
world If, when the day came, the
north rejoiced, il was a day Of sorrow for
the south, and if the north wept it was
time of jupiia:ion for the south. Such
a day was the Fourth OF July, 1863,
when, after three days Of terrific fighting
and awful slaughter, the north and south
heard momentous news from IettyS-
burgs bloody field. Meade's dispatch to
President Lincoln caused the north to re-
joice, but the south was plunged N
gloom.
But the Independence days of the civil
war were not all days # rejoicing for
the north In 1861 Big Bethel had just
been fought and had been won by the
south, and Ellsworth had been shot
while hauling down the Confederate flag
in Alexandra. On this day also the
Thirty-si congress met in extra ses-
sion with eight states not represented.
The Fourth of July of 1862 had also
been a gloomy one for the north, for Nc
Clellan suffered severely in the Seven
Days battle and had been forced to re-
tire and change his base of operations.
Dark indeed was the Fourth of July Of
1864, and with the exception of the sink
ing of the Alabama by the kearsarge on
the coast of France two weeks before
hand the north had little cause for re-
joicing For the south as well it was
not day of happiness. Grant was slow
ly forcing Lee back, it is true, but he
was doing so with frightful slaughter in
his own ranks. His loss after crossing
the Rapidan, two months previously, had
been 1900 men, and il was impossible
to forecast just how events would turn
out. The following year the dark clouds
of war had rolled away, and had II not
been for the tragic death Of the president
the Fourth of 1860 would have been one
Of the happiest holidays in the history Of
the nation The only notable event on
this day was the reading of the proclama-
ton of amnesty 10 those southerners who
had taken part in the late war.
