 BIOGRAPHICAL.
 The subject of this sketch was born Ill Warren County, Ky, August ,, 1871. and was a son of John N. and Eliza beth Hancock, who were of the stur- dy yeomanry of that state. his father being a strong Southern man and fought in the Southern army. His mother died when he was but three years old. thus he was compelled to learn the lesson of self-reliance when very young. He attended the public schools until fifteen years of age. He was always very studious, and enter ed Union College, at Barbouryille, Kentucky, January l, 1894, and grad uated with first honors. in 1896. He was elected to the Chair of History and Latin in his Alma Mater; and held that position four years, resign ing to become superintendent of pub lie schools in Pineville, Kentucky. He held this position only a few months, when he was called by the Bishop of Lexington to take up mis. sionary work among the native moup- taineers in Eastern Kentucky. He be- gan this work in Corbin, Kentucky. January l, 1901.
 Mir. Hancock read himself into the church of which he was an earnest priest. He would not take the opin- ions of others, but appealed to the facts of history with the result that he determined to enter the ministry of the Church.
 He was the promoter of St. Johns Academy. l diocesan institution of Lexington.
 MT Hancock was married on June :, 1891, to Miss Salome Otey, who is relative of the Pioneer Bishop Otey. of Tennessee. One child, Inez Nor rell, blessed this union, and both sur yiye him.
The Forrest City times., 1905-12-01

He was member of the I. O. O. F.. in which institution he held the offices of Chaplain and Financial Sectetary. He was not partisan in politics, prefer ring to support whom he thought the best man. He was induced to run on the prohibition ticket for Superinten- dent Of Public Instruction Of Ken lucky in the famous campaign of l902. and boiled the full strength of the party. He then retired from politics.
 On January. l, 1901, Rev. George F. Hancock came to this parish aS it's rector, and to give his entire time and attention. He succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectations of the men and women of the Church in ad- vancing its interests. He was greatly beloved by all who came under his Cody influences, and did q great work for the Master. Since he had this par ish in charge he baptised 2o: present. edfor confirmation. 2l. and added to the Church. 30. Under his cnterpris- ing leadership the church building was finished, papered and painted, and handsomely carpeted. The rectory, too was made practically new and re- modelled.
 Rev. NIT. Hancock las done no- ble, Christian work in Forrest City and surrounding territory, and thought our greatest need good schools and stricter loyalty to religious con- yictions.
 To the widow and orphan of our deaceased friend we extend deep and sincere sympathy, and join our tears with them in the deep ai1liction which we feel at his untimely death. He was in the prime of manhood, and full of love for the world and an ambit ion to make il better by his example and teachings. He did make il better. but il is poorer by this great loss
 He was thoroughly ill love with his work and made many sacrifices for it's sake. In fact, it was with the belief that he could better serve his parish toners and do the work of his Master by making the sacrifice. and he took his life in his own hands for their sake.
 What greater love can man have for his people than that he should lay down his own life for their welfare.
 Such bravery, such nnbleness of soul, is seldom met with in this age of sel- tishness.
 Owing to his remoteness in the southern part of the State. the Bishop was unable to be present at the fu- neral, but it is announced that he will be in the city and hold Il memorial service i'll the church tonight. begin ming promptly at o'clock.

Andrew White on
Situation in Russia

Ithaca, N. Y, Jan. 25.-Audrew d.
White, former ambassador to Russia,
and one of the best informed Ameri-
cans on Russian affairs, gives the fol-
lowing statement IN regard to the sit
uation in st. Petersburg;
THE main difficulty in the whole
case is that the emperor is supposed TO
do all the thinking for lao, 100000
people, scattered over the largest terri
tory possessed by any government in
the world, with all sorts of different
races, religions and ideas, and this one
man can not do, and least of all in a
time like this.
"The simple fact is that the evils of
the old system have now become abso-
lutely intolerable. And when you add
TO that fact the sending off of immense
numbers of the best young men in the
country to an utterbly useless and
wicked war, and the pressure of taxa
ton which grinds the people to the
dust, you have a situation which none
bfut the very strongest rulers in all
human history can cope with. The
car has no strength of character, nc
proper education, an0 is hopelessly un'
fit TO grapple with the situation.
No doubt the worst Of the features
of the situation have been kept from
him."

Gar and Family
Go to Copenhagen

Libau, Russia, Jan. 25.-The inn
perial yacht STANDARD is expected here
to convey the czar and his family to
Copenhagen. Reports from st. Peters
burg say that the actual government
is no longer in the hands of the car.
This statement is made with deilbera-
ton and with full knowledge of the
days doings.
The grand ducal corterie, always
powerful, but until very recently held
in check by the peoples pathetic faith
in the power of the little white
father" is in absolute command.
Grand Duke Vladimir commands the
troops, and ev1ey order, whether it be
one of leniency or stern repression, is
issued by him. Grand Duke Serigu
is stated to be in control of the inter
national situation.
From an excellent source comes the
information that the car has issued
no orders, has given no commands and
has made 10 suggestions until today
He received minute reports of the
night and day happenings. Beyond
that the informant says his majesty
has not exercised his supreme author

The utmost secrecy is maintained as
to the czar's present whereabouts.
Some have him at Tsarkoe Selo,
others at Peterhoff, still others insist
that he has been at the winter palace
rihgt along. All questions put to men
in authority ON that score are met with
the very corteous reply that they know
as little as the interrogation.

Sailors Mutinied

Kieff, Jan. 25.-Details of the burn
ing of the admiralty yards at Sevasto-
pol have arrived here showing that it
was the result Of mutiny of 5000
sailors, such as never occurred before
in Russia.
Shortly after the noon hour Monday
the doors of barracks were thrown
open and several thousand sailors
forced their way out into the streets.
Like a band Of savages they threw
themselves upon everything in the
vicinity that could be turned into
weapons. fell into line and advanced
to the office quarters and in the twink
ling of an eye the building was prac-
tically demolished.
Several officers tried to check the
advance of the sailors. 1t was in vain,
for those who stood in the way Of the
mob we've borne down and trampled
under foot. One squad of mutineers
rushed to the room of captain who is
said to have been particularly disliked.
The officer was thrown to the floor.
They beat his skull until his face was
mangled beyond recognition, and then
they wrecked his rooms and took every
weapon they could find.
Meanwhile those on the outside ha6
set fire to the building, which was OLD
and mainly constructed of wood, wai
burned to the ground. From there the
mutineers rushed wildly through tbs
streets, setting up the Cry of "Th'
revolution has begunl" In their marcel
through the city they were joined b,
hundreds of workmen and roughs, whit
took up the slogan.

Anarchy
Is the Word

st. Petersburg, Jan. "a, 1890 a. m.
Tine city of st. Petersburg is in a
state of anarchy. While the principal
streets are quiet at this hour. barring
minor clashes and outbreaks, " hell 3"
has broken loose in the suburbs
Hoodlums have taken up the work
left undone by the strikers and are
wrecking and pillaging all shops
which they find without the protection
of barbados.
Between O'Clock last night and this
hour bombs have been thrown, soldiers
and strikers have torn limb from limb
by dynamite charges, and, according
to reports which it is impossible to
verify at this time, one regiment at
least has mutinied and fired upon an
other which remained loyal to the
czar.
Small sized riots have occurred with
hood of the palace square, but they
were mainly due to unruliness of small
bands of roughs, who are being quickly
suppressed as they come out in the
open, and whose doings cannot in any
way be identified with the strike move
ment. The most dramatic scene of the
night occurred between and IL
o'clock, when a squad of soldiers met
a crowd at two street corners and or
dered them to move on. They refused
to do so and an officer with a battalion
of infantry appeared to enforce the
command. Suddenly a round object
came flying through the air and falling
to the ground in the very midst of tn,
soldiers, exploded with deafening re-
port.

lowed the explosion had cleared away
