A GOOD NAN.
Prof. Willey's Sincere Tribute TO His
Father.

But Senator Willey's uprightness OF
life and conduct was not the cold and
superficial promptings OF a sense Of
propriety. He was profoundly re-
liglous man. His character had its
root In a deep-seated reverence for
God and His truth. He had sub
lime faith In, and devotion to, the
tenets of the Bible, which he made
the rule and guide of his life. He
had studied the Word as few men
have outside OF the ministry. He
had absorbed not only the letter but
the spirit of that book. He practiced
its preeepts not as commands, but be-
cause be believed Ia them, and loved
them, and made them the lifesprings
OF his being. His life was the best
exemplification of that charity which
'ssutfereth long aud its kind. which
envieth not; which vaunteth not it
self, is not pulled up; which doth not
behave itself unseemly, seeketh not
her own, Is not easily provoked;
thinketh no evil, reJoiceth not in mi
guilty, but rejoiceth in the truth.
beareth all things, believeth all
things, endureth all things Hr
loved the simple and spontaneous
usages OF his adopted church the
Methodist Episcopal-and was all
ways an honest and active member;
possessing the genuine affection OF its
members, and especially OF its clergy.
He carried 40 jealousies. no resent
ment, no vindictiveness even toward
those who had done him wrong. He
had that native temperance and char
ity which enabled him to meet every
man with a free courtesy that had no
memory in It
'sOf wrong and outrage with which
earth Is filled.

DELIGHTFUL RECITAL.
Miss McMurpby Assisted by Mrs.
D0ugan and Prof. Ch0llett Entertain
ed Tuesday Evening.

One of the most delightful inter
esting and profitable musicals of the
season was given by Miss Russell
McMurphy Tuesday evening assist
ed by Mrs. Dugan and Prof. Chollett
at the home of Mrs. Hite on Wiley
Street There were quite a number
of lovers of music present not-with
standing the rain who are most en-
thusiastic over the rendering of the
various selections given. Miss Nc
Murphy's Interpretation of the var
ious selections she gave were most
delightful. A few numbers were
written by men whom she knew
while studying in Berlin and the
little introduction she gaze made it
possible to appreciate more fully the
Interpretation. Miss McMurphy gave
little description of the Authors
and the purpose of some of the Sc
lections which was especially inter
esting in Wagner's "Flying Dutch
mar" She gave little history of
Waynerian method of opera work
and short sketch Of the opera it
self showing her thorough mastery
and ability to interpret the work as
few can. All present were most En-
thusiastie and voted Miss McMur-
ply not only an artist but genius
as well.
Mrs Dugan and Prof Chollett as
sisted Miss McMurphy. Mrs Du-
gan voice is especially clear and
sweet and her selections especially
appropriate aud she was received
most enthusiastically. Prof. Chol-
lett sang some selections from Mos
zarts don Giovanni which were
Thoroughly appreciated by all. Prof
Chollett hasa rich bass voice with
few equals. The audience was most
enthusiastic and appreciative and
showered the applause upon the ar
lists. The musical was given to aid
in raising money to purchase new
organ for The Protestant Episcopal
church OF this place.
