SIDE.
The late Frederick Mitchell was laid
at rest in Brookside cemetery, yester-
day amid the most impressive cere-
monies that have been witnessed in this
city in years. Perhaps the largest out
pouring at funeral in Carbondale in
recent years marked the departure of
this popular young man to his tomb.
The fire department of Carbondale
was we'll represented. The Mitchell
company. of which the deceased was an
enthusiastic member and the Columbia

there We're scores present, who had no
connection With the brotherhood. but
who were impelled to be present by
feelings of warm friendship for the
deceased.

home. A. Garfield avenue. at $50
o'clock. Rev. II. j. Whalen, u. D., pas
tor OF the Berean Baptist church, Of
ficiated. Rev. w. b. Grow, assisted.
The multitude. was so great that the
house was over-fan SO that the yard
and the street in front of the residence
held a crowd. Dr.. Whalen found it
necessary to deliver the eulogy from
the threshold of the house as the con-
gregation outside was so large. All
the elements to make most deeply
impressive ceremony were present and
it is certain that DIR. Whalen's SYM
pathetic voice conveyed more feeling to
a gathering of this character than on
this occasion.
DR.. Whalen in his address pointed out
the lessons of Mr.. Mitchell's life and
of his death In touching on the
demonstration OF friendship for the de-
parted. he suggested that as the Lord
said "a man cannot gather friends un-
less he be friendly The force of this
truth was illustrated on this occasion,
said DR.. Whalen, for there was no
such gathering as this since his coming
to this city, in which he either partici-
pated or had any knowledge of.
There was a quartette, Mrs. II. ].
