Sweet Springs. NO., Aug. 10.--After

tion in which he recounts the life
and public services OF the dead states

The burial will be In Bellcfontalne

His Greatest Effort.
And yet IL was after this declaration
that Mr.. Vest delivered on the floor
OF the senate one OF the greatest. ora
torical efforts OF his life in making
a plea for free coal during the great
strike In the anthracite regions some
two years ago.
But Senator Vest had made no mis-
take. He was one OF the few who
recognize In himself the symptoms Of
waning powers, and, although he was
able to arise TO great occasion, he
knew that the fires were burning low
and that II was better for his fame
and name to retire before an inevitable
collapse.
The senate chamber at Washington
has held many a pathetic figure, but
George G.. Vest will not be remember
ed there as such. He was giant In
his day, and he got out from under the
glare OF tho limelght before II cast
the senile shadows OF robust past.
Native of kentucky.
He was born at Frankfort, KY, on
Dec. G, 1880, and in his boyhood played
with Associate Justice Marshall Har-
Ian and Senator j. S. c. Blackburn.
As a boy he was homely, precocious,
and popular, and when is years old he
was graduated from Central college
at Danyille. He read law in the
Office of James Harlan. James Harlan
had been In congress and was whig
offshoot OF old Hamiltonian federal
ism. He took an interest In his stu
dents and advised them to study the
Federalist and vete against the Demo-
cratic party. Young Vests father en-
couraged his preeeptor for the elder

the feet Of Henry Clay.
Was Confederate Senator.
But the more young Vest Toasted
on the mental pabulum dished up TO
him the sorrier he got for what he
considered the political strabsmus OF
his father and his preceptor.
He was graduated from the law de-
partment of Pennsylvania college at
Lexington, democrat TO his finger
tips, and to the hour of his death he
never wavered in his faith The same
year (1S53) he removed TO Missouri.
and he was member OF the famous
Claib Jackson legislature OF 1861,
which refugeed south and elected him
to the confederate senate Just before
crossing the Arkansas line.
He was one OF two surviving mem
hers OF the confederate senate.
