Arrangements were completed yes
terday for the funeral services over
the remains Of DR.. Talmage. The
funeral will take place tomorrow az
ternoon from the Church of the Cove
nant, this city. There will be no
funeral sermon, but short addresses
concerning the life and works of Dr.
Talmage viii be made by men who
have been intimately associated with
him At 9 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing the interment will take place in
the family lot at Greenwood Gene
terry, Brooklyn.
Silent tribute to the memory of Dr.
Talmage was paid yesterday by thou
sands of people who walked past the
residence on Massachusetts avenue.
Messages of sympathy from nearly
every state in the Union, and from
England, Russia and other European
countries, came to the family during
the day.
Had Wonderful Popularity.
DR.. Talmage was beyond doubt
the most popular preacher America
has produced. When he had a
church his congregations were as
enormous as those of Henry Ward
Beecher, and he at the same time ad.
dressed another congregation of mil.
lions through the newspapers. When
he was preaching in Brooklyn there
was no necessity of stranger asking
where DR.. Talmage's church was; all
he had to do was to follow the crowd
For many years his sermons were
preached both from the pulpit and
through the newspapers, but after
he gave up his pulpit in Washington
the great divine spoke to his flock
wholly through the public press. and
there was hardly a town in the Unit
ed States where his sermon in the
daily or weekly newspaper was not
eagerly awaited by scores of people
1t is probably no exaggeration to
state that his sermon was read each
week by several millions of people
1t appeared in at least six languages
and the combined calculations of the
newspapers printing his sermons
were estimated at 30000,000.
Few men were capable of doing as
much literary work in day as the
famous preacher. When nearing
three-soore and ten he often dictat-
ed as many as 10000 words in day
and on many occasions he has worn
out two or three stenographers dur
ing that time. His sermons were all
first preached to stenographer, and
when he was In the throes of com
position he walked tirelessly up %
down his study preaching and gest
ulating exactly as he did later in
pulpit and almost with as &
rapidity. Each week he read Il

A GREAT CALAMITY.
Avoided in the Firm of II. w. PrOtz-
man & Co.

A few weeks ago H. w. Protzman
ordered great lot of pianos and or
gans and in day or two after some
thing less than car load OF ma
chimes. This excited the old man so
much that he threatened to with
draw from the firm thinking they
never could sell them all. But upon
second thought he put little note
in the daily papers as sort of ad
vertisement and as soon as the peo-
pie learned that they could get the
best grade of pianos and organs at a
fair price and sewing machines from
$ll up they came focking in and the
trade keeps up so that it now keeps
the drayman busy to deliver goods
and harmony has been restored and
the old man wears broad smile Of
welcome to all who come.

The Third Fire.

This tabernacle was a grand and
beautiful place of worship with a vast
seating capacity and perfect acoustic
properties, but it was not destined to
stand long. On Sunday, May 10, 1894,
shortly after the close of the morn
ing services, fire broke out and be

DIR. Talmage for time ceased ac
tive pastoral work and went abroad
for tour of the world He preached
to large audiences in Australia, New
Zealand, India and Great Britain,
and on his return wrote the story Of
his travels in book called "The
Earth Girdled." which enjoyed a wide
circulation. He now devoted himself
almost exclusively to his editoria ;
work on The Christian Herald his
sermons being syndicated for weekly
publication. In 1895 Dr. Talmage ac.
copied for time pastoral call from
the First Presbyterian church in
Washington and was soon the most
popular minister at the national cap
ital. In 1900 he retired from active
connection with the Washington
church and devoted his time to edi-
torial work preaching and lecturing
The passing years served to increase
his fame, and an announcement that
he was going to preach always at
tracted large audience.
DR.. Talmage was voluminous
writer on religious subjects. He was
the author of number of lectures,
and his sermons have been published
in 80 volumes. Among the better
known of his works were From
Manger to Throne" Sparks From
My Anvil" Crumbs Swept Up"
Sports That KILL" Might Sides of
City Life" "The Poetry of Life and
old Wells Dug Out" It is estimated
that for many years his royalties

A New Jerseyman by Birth.
DR.. Talmage was born in Bound
Brook, Somerset county, N. j., Jan. 7,
1882. His home was small farm,
and he was the youngest son of Il
family Of IL children. His parents
were deeply religious people, and
their greatest desire was to see some
of their sons enter the ministry.
Their hopes were fulfilled, for the
eldest brother at the close OF his col
lege life went to China as mission
airy, while another became minis

hope that he would evei sually follow
in the footsteps of his brothers. In
1853 he gave up legal practice and
went to the college at New Bruins.
wick to prepare for the ministry.
His first charge was at Belleville
N. j., where he spent thnee years. He
then accepted a call to church at
Syracuse, N. Y, and remained there
until 1862, when he accepted a pas
torate in Philadelphia This gave him
his first chance at reaching the peo-
pie of a great city. His success was
instantaneous, and he finally received
three simultaneous calls from Brook.

him to Brooklyn boosted only II mem
bers, he chose that city, and the re-
suit of his choice is we'll known.
Within year it was necessary to
erect structure capable of holding
5000 people. Two years later this
church was burned to the ground.
An edifice that would seat 5000 was
then built, but was inadequate to ac.
commodate the thousands that flock
ed to hear the famous preacher. For
Is years the church had wonderful
prosperity, which was rudely broken
by second fire that laid it in ashes.
Undismayed, a third tabernacle was
built. It was completed in 1891, and
its dedication was great public oc
casion.
