ANSWERS FINAL CALL.
John Wesley Matchett, Diagram
Evangelist" Passes Away.

A familiar figure at the temperance
fountain on the reservation at 7th street
and Pennsylvania avenue for many years
will be missed, because of the passing of
John Wesley Matchett, who was known
as the diagram evangelist" and whose
death occurred yesterday afternoon. He
was eighty-three years of age, and with
his long white hair flowing over his Shout
ders it had been his practice in bad
weather and good to take his stand at
the corner mentioned and preach the gos-
pei to the throngs that gathered there.
He invariably held in his hand a wand
and illustrated his Christian talks with
diagrams, usually of a ship, painted on
large stretch of black cloth in the
shape-of q large banner. Each part of
the vessel represented some virtue to be
sought or some evil to be avoided, and
the earnestness Of the street preacher
never failed to impress his audiences
Mr. Matchett died in his apartments at
400 9th street, where he had lived with his
son. Mr.. Matchett was a member Of the
Metropolitan NJ. E. Church. During the
days Of the early Indian campaigning in
the west he was friend Of Gen. Custer,
and accompanied that officer on some Of
his expeditions against the red men. He
did not go as a fighting man, but as a
peacemaker, and was ever on the alert,
1t Is said, to have the Indians settle their
troubles with the government over the
pipe of peace rather than with the toma-
hawk. scalping knife and rifle. He was
known as a sort Of Independent peace
commissioner. and is said to have en-
warlike tribes Of Indians. In this con-
nection he is said to have taken part in
the peace negotiations with the Modoc
Indians which afterward led to a mas
sacre.
The fu5neral will take place at 2:3O
o'clock tomorrow afternoon from Wright )
chapel. 1887 10th street. and the inter-
ment will be in Glenwood. The obsequies
will be attended by Rev. Will C. McMi-
chael of the Peoples Mission and other
city evangelists, among whom the de-
ceased labored in the District for more
than thirty years.
