FRANK X. SCOTT.
While Mr.. Wirts public career is gen.
orally we'll known, the purely PERSONAL
side of his character will always be re
membered with tender affection by HIS
| friends. He was instint+tively n gentle
man ut the age of Il school boy. when his
dignity of character, Kindness of heart,
constant consideration for the feelings
and rights of others, together with his
attractive mind and studiolss habits,
placed him high among his youthful conI-
panion>. who respected. admired and
loved him. At College he won the high
regard of the faculty. and bound about
him the close friendship of his c,;Srs-
mates. which has TASTED through life.
| Mr.. Wits manner to casual ncQuIiHt-
ancC> Frequently caused him to be mis-
Understood. While he waa not a demon
stratve man. in social life he was Il de
lightfuI host and companion, and the
most amnhle and uIHrlfSh of men.
| He had Il profound and unlHiimg re-
spect for women. and the tcndcrest re-
gard for children. All that he hlNl to
give of his services or mrallS was ever
at the command of tho.c having the
slightest claim upon him.
| In controversy on contest Of any kind,
he would always yield what were his
rights, rather than possibly iwfl'rE, on
the rights of others. \ mur kind heart
| ed man. or II more un~rltSh ONE. | have
never known. and there WAS no trace of
malice about him.
ROBERT c. THACKERY
Mr.. Writ and l We're paymates in
childhood. and life long friends. | knew
him. therefore. at every period of his
life. He WAS ri gentle boy and, after he
reached manhood. was always and every
where, a gentleman.
| Eulogy is apt to run to flattery and
untrllth, but it is neither flattery nor un-
truth to say that no kindlier heart than
his ever beat in human bosom. His gen.
elosity knew no bounds and his charit-
able acts-done without oStentation or
lpal1de-were numerous and constant.
He had enemies. it is true-slnd mo-
man who amounts to anything cam get
through life. it seems without them.
but even towards his enemies he was
charitable in thought and speech.
1t is unnecessary here to dwell upon
his intellectual endowments. He had
fine ability. Il liberal education and skill
las a lawyer, but that which enlearef
him most to his many friends and which
will keep him longest in their memories
was HIS unfniling good disposition and N
heart which kept him always true to-
those who We're true to him.

public speeches and everyday conve
tions.
