The death of Rev. DR.. Tennis S. Ham
lin, pastor of the Church of the Cove
nant in Washington, occurred at the
week Wednesday evening. His death,
which is ascribed to apoplexy, was a
great shock to his friends, parishionerss
and also to the many who have heard
him for so many years at the summer
conferences. His name was on the list
to give a series of lectures before the
Mt. Hermon school summer session. Not
only was he regarded as one of the
most noted divines in the east but has
been prolific writer for newspapers,
magazines and reviews. He had been
heard here many times IN the last 10
years and always with the greatest in
terest.
We are very glad to be informed by the
owner of Webster block that he is deter
mined to stop the loafng and disorder
about that building, and will even resort
to extreme measures, to do it II found
necessary. This nuisance has been a
great source of annoyance to persons pass
ing the buildine as well as to the custo-
mers and merchants of the various stores
and patrons of the post office. No atten-
ton has been paid to the repeated re-
quests of the owner in his endeavors to
abate this nuisance, and even notices
which he has posted have been torn
down. The owner had one lot of these
loafers arrested about two years ago, but
hoping such measures will not again, be
necessary, he says he will try milder
measures first.
