Montrose, April 10.-'rhc congrega-
tional meeting of the members or the
Presbyterian church. to take action on
the resignation of the pastor. lseV. n.
l.. Benton, d. d., was held in the church
chapel yesterday afternoon. Rev. 4. IL.
Brooks, of Wilkes-Barre, acted as mod
orator. The weather was very untaVof-
able, I downpour of rain being steady,
vet Il Ter such conditions, the attend
ance Mas large.
The resignation of DIR. Benton was
acted upon in accordance with the pas
tors personal desire, and John G. Har-
rington and Robert T.. Beebe were elect
ed to represent the church at the pres
bytery and ask that the pastoral re-
1ation be dissolved.
Resolutions of appreciation, of the
pastor, which had been adopted by the
session of the church. were read ana
were unanimously approved and ordered
spread upon the church records.
On motion. the moderator, Mr.. Brooks
and Pastor Benton were appointed II
committee to appoint another commit
tee. whose duty will be to introduce II
lew pastor to the church. This method,
while not in the least restricting the
rights of the congregation. will do away
with the tedious and Outlines unsatis-
factory method of ''candidatins' for a
new pastor.
Although the church is not financially
able to retire DR.. Benton on a salary,
as his people would very gladly do. they
did what they could and showed their
willing spirit by performing the grace
full and meritorious act of unanimously
electing Mr.. Benton pastor emeritus OF
the church, an honorary position,
which it is expected that DIR. Benton
will occupy for life. No salary is at
tached to the position, but it will keep
the retiring pastor in close touch with
his devoted flock and therein they will
find a measure of comfort II cheer.
DR.. Benton was also voted a months
vacation, as has been customary each
wear.

Death of DIR. Talmage.

The Rev. L. De Witt Talmage, the
famed Presbyterian clergyman, died at
nine O'Clock Saturday night at his resi-
dence In Washington. 1t had been evil
dent for several days that there was no
hope of recovery and the attending physi-
clans so informed the family.
The patient graduallys grew weaker,
until life passed away so quietly that
even the members of the family, all of
whom were watching at his bedside,
hardly knew that he was gone. The i'm.
mediate cause of death was Inflammation
Of the brain.
DR.. Talmage was in poor health when
he started away from Washington for
Mexico for a vacation and rest six weeks
ago. He was then suffering from it,
fiuenza and serious catarrhal conditions.
Since his return to Washington he has
been quite III. Until Thursday, however
fears Of his death were not entertained
Funeral services were held from thu
church Of the Covenant Tuesday. after
noon and the burial took place Wednes-
day in Greenwood Cemetery Brooklyn.

Commissioners of Pensions.

Veterans of the civil war are much in
terested in the appointment of man to
administer the Pension Office to succeed
Commissioner Evans, who recently re.
signed, and doubtless desire to know,
the characteristics of Eugene F. Ware,
Esq. of Kansas, who has been designated
by President Roosevelt to the succession.
Everything about the man suggests that
his selection for the trying position is a
happy one, and that he will make an
ideal officer.
Mr.. Ware was born In Hartford Conn.,,
in 1S4l. He lived in Iowa during his
boyhood where he was educated in the
public schools, served In the First Iowa
Infantry, the Fourth Infantry and the
Seventh Iowa Cavalry, in all years and
3 months, leaving the army at the close
of the war as captain of cavalry. Later
he served in various Indian wars on the
staff of various generals in which he saw
severe service and was badly wounded.
After leaving the army he went to
Kansas where he was admitted to the
bar In 1871. He was member of the
Kansas State Senate years, WAS twice
delegate to the Republican National
Convention. Was a candidate for nomi-
nation by Republicans for Congress but
was defeated. Is a member of a promi-
nent law firm at Topeka and man of
recognized literary as well as legal abil-
ity.
Mr. Ware has always been interested
in army matters and is very popular with
the old soldiers of his State. Modest
dignity is said to be a characteristic of
his life. He is no weakling but an ex-
ample OF the best type of veteran SOL
dier.
President Roosevelt is said to have
made this choice quite of his own voli-
ton, independent of political backing,
basing 1t upon his personal knowledge
of the man and OF the peculiarly trying
nature of the duties to be performed.
In fact Mr.. Ware has had great deal to
do with the practical side of life. AS
much as any man in Kansas he has con-
tributed to the regeneration of that State
to its reclamation from the vagaries Of
Populism and to it's establishment as a
Republican Commonwealth. That he
has gained no widespread notoriety In
this connection is due solely to his quiet
modesty.
