D1Merence In Methods of These Two
Famous Dfarists.
Pepys' narrative is always dramatic
himself being the center of the play
while Evelyn is historical, pathetic or
didactic, as the mood seizes him. Pepys
| gives us the comedy of his time, as
| Plautus and Terence gave us the COM
| edy Of theirs. Evelyn, on the other
hand, has something of Livy in his
composition and not a little of Cicero.
Compare, for instance, their treatment
Of the great fire, and you may measure
the distance between them. Thus 1t is
that Pepys' account begins: "Some of
our maids, sitting up late last night to
get things ready against our feast to-
day, Jane called us up about in the
morning to tell us of a great fire they
saw in the city. So rose and slipped
on my nightgown and went to her Win
dow" And now turn to Evelyn and
see the temper in which he views the
destruction of the city. ''The clouds
of smoke were dismal and reached up
on computation near fifty miles in
length" he writes the day after the
fire. '"Thus 1 left it this afternoon
burning, resemblance Of Sodom or
the last day. 1t forcibly called to my
mind that passage, Non enim hic ha.
bemus stabilem civitatem,' the ruins
resembling the picture of Troy. Lon

nesday announcing the death at Inter

Hicks. He had large business in
terests in Bridgeport and Meriden. He
was descended from the best New
England ancestry. His grandfathers,
Captain Radcliffe Hicks of Providence,
R. l., and Judge Stearns of Tolland,
were we'll known and prominent in
their generation. Mr.. Hicks was
born in Tolland, the Oldest son of
Charles r. and Maria Stearns Hicks,
in the year 1843. He fitted for col
lege at Monson academy and Williston
seminary, and graduated at Brown
university with honor. Then he
studied law and commenced the
practice of law in Meriden. He had
very successful practice for several
years. Afterward he relinquished his
law practice and became interested in
the Garfield Rubber Go. of Bridge
port. He was president and manager,
and made large fortune by his sue
cessful management of the company.
He had many warm friends, and those
who knew him best we're his best
friends. He was very generous and
philanthropic, giving unostentatious-
ly in many ways. He had at one time
project for establishing an institute
in Holland, but various influences
prejudiced him against the plan, and
he lost his interest in the undertake
ing. He married Mrs. Lizzie O. Par
ker Of Meriden, and they had one
daughter, Miss Elizabeth Hicks. Mrs.
Hicks died several years ago in Paris.
Mr.. Hicks illness was pleuro- pneu-
monia. He suffered a relapse, and al
though the best medical skill was en-
ployed, he could not rally and passed
away on Wednesday, September 10.
Mr.. Hicks leaves one daughter, Miss
Elizabeth Hicks, of New York; one
brother, R. S. Hicks, of Toronto, and
two sisters, Mrs. Fl. F. Downing of
Springfield and Miss M. H. Hicks of
New York. The body will be brought
to this country for burial.
