VACHON CHILDREN BURIED
 YESTERDAY
The Three Victims of the Terrible Tragedy at Tolovana Laid to Rest---P Pathetic
 Ceremony at Church

Pohl and Peter VaChon at once start ed down river, meeting Captain Va Chon on his way out at Minto. Dr. Pohl returned with Captain Nachon while Peter continued on to Tolo- vana for Mrs. VaChon and the bod ies of the children. With these he arrived in Fairbanks on Saturday.
 The funeral services over the three children were held at the Ro- man Catholic church yesterday morning at 11:30. being conducted by Rev Father Crimont. assisted by Rev Father Monroe The church, beautifully decorated in white. was packed 10 the doors before the ser. vices began.
 The three tiny white caskets were escorted from the undertaking par lors to the church by Father Mon. roe and IS little girls, acting as honorary pallbearers. Entering the church singing the hymn 'I Am but Stranger Here" the Cortege was most truly pathetic. The altar boys and Father Monroe preceded the lit tie girls, each of whom carried large sprays of white lilies, and then came F. S. Gordon, J. s. Sterling and Max Smith carrying the small caskets. The mourners were MT. and Mrs. Peter Vachon, and Mrs w. J. Nachon, Captain Vachon still being confined to the hospital with his injuries. After the services at the church nearly all of the large as semblage followed the remains to the cemetery. where the short burial service was read by Father Crimont.
 A choir of eight ladies rendered Battman's Convent mass at the church, the soprano and alto solos being sung by Mrs. Moffatt and Mrs Caskey. The special numbers in ad- dition to the mass were:
 Duet-"Hope Beyond the Vale"
 Mrs. Robarts and Mrs. Caskey. Offertory-"O Salutaris," Mrs. Caskey Solo-"Angels Ever Bright and Fair"
 Mrs. Moffatt.
 Solo-"One Sweetly Solemn Thought"
 Mrs. Caskey.

Probably the most pathetic funeral that ever occurred ill Fairbanks was that which took place yesterday morning when Margaret, Josephine, and Otis VaChon. the infant children If Captain and Mrs. w. J. Vachon, of Tolovana. were laid to rest. The children. aged three months, two years and four years, respectively, were burned to death when the Va ChOn store at ToIOvana was destroy ed by fire on Tuesday morning.
 The tragedy, by far the worst in the history of the Panama Valley, occurred shortly after the family had finished breakfast. Neither Captain NaChon nor Mrs. NaChOn were in the house at the time the fire broke out and the upper part of the build ing. were the children were at the time. was q seething Caldron when Captain Nachon was able to reach the store Without hesitation. how ever, he groped his way to the up- per room. where the children were in bed and felt for the little ones. On account of the smoke it was i'm possible for him to sec anything, but he was able to gather up and carry down stairs the eldest child, Hayden. and the eldest girl, Jose phine II was found that Hayden was unhurt. and she was soon re stored 10 consciousness, but the lit tie girls strength had been unable to withstand the smothering of the terrible heat and smoke.
 Captain Vachon could hardly be restrained from making another en- .uanCe 10 the building but it was seen that there was no longer hope that the other children could be alive and he was perforce compelled to turn his energies to the saving of the other buildings. IL was not until after the fire had been kept from spreading to the adjacent build ings that the captain realized that he was badly burned himself about The face and hands

 On October 31. when the first meeting was held. il was decided to send wire, signed by the federal officials and the mayor to the attor- ney-eeneral. asking that: Pending relief by any bill now before Con- gress. because of the urgent neces- sities prevailing on account of win ter coming on. the support of pris- oners' fund be made available inn mediately for the care of such indi- gents In this division as the marshal. under the supervision of the dis trict judge and the district attorney shall consider of urgent need of such assistance" To this message a reply was sent on October 19, to Judge Overfeld, as follows: Answer ing your telegram I am unable to approve the use of the prison funds for relief of indigents. Prison funds may be used for proper care and treatment in meritorious cases of prisoners. including those under vag- ranCv. Department should be ad- vised of each case as it arises. Wickersham

Love, and was sub mitted 10 the meeting held ycster- day afternoon in the courthouse to consider the question The bill has not vet been submitted to Judge Oyerfield and it may be that he will have some suggestions to make in regard to it before it is dis patched.
 The meeting held yesterday was the third that has been held by the federal and municipal authorities, and representatives of the fraternal organizations and the Alaska Citi- zen. The matter of trying to get some form of government aid to re lieye the situation has been thor oughly threshed out and MT. Loves bill embodies the various sugges- tions that have been made from time to time. Data has been com piled by the various officials which indicates that an enormous amount is annually spent in Fairbanks for the relief of the destitute, and it is realized that the time has come when a strong appeal for aid should be made to the government. It has been explained that as the congress

"Neither shall There be MOURN
ing, nor crying, any more."-
Revelation, xxi a.
In the paper laid on my table
this morning there is just one
word of cable news from the
Homeland. And it is four words:
MARK Twain is dead"
The other columns of special
and press dispatches fade into
blur. I can see by the headlines
there is a lot of meaningless talk
about parliaments and governors,
about colonial interests, about an
emperor somebody and king or
two here and there, and the unim-
portant movements of swarm OF
little princelings concerning whom
few people ever heard, and in
whose lives still fewer have any
interest. There is half-column
of tedious oratory OF a great
statesman drooled out at ban
quet of much meat and more
The Honolulu times. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1902-1911, 1910-07-01

Drink. 1 90 not know his name,
this being the first time l ever
heard it. And there appears to be
some little excitement in a place
called England about an organi-
cation known as the house of
lords. And l see that something
warlike is happening in coun-
try named Albania, and diplo-
mat you never heard of has been
sent there, while two great gen.
erals whose names you could no
more remember than l can spell
have gone to the front, wherever
that is. And this is as meaning
less to you and me this morning
as the clatter of the blackbirds on
the lawn.
The best known man in the
world is dead.
And the gloomy walls of death
are garlanded with the smiles
which he sowed in human hearts
all around the globe, as the god
dess of spring scatters the BIOS
SONS that glorify her name on
every meridian. There are no
sobs, no wailings for the dead.
For he lives, in the crystal river
of laughter of his own creation
which ripples across every zone
and makes living music in palace
and cabin, in camp and home, on
the mighty Dreadnought and the
missionary ship, in frowning
fortress and the chapels of peace.
His name, even while he lived,
grew to be synonym for laugh
ter.
Good laughter, true laughter,
sweet and sincere. Always it
came from the heart of the man.
He was not irreverent. But with
what righteous hatred he hated a
sham, whether in politics, philos-
ophy or religion. He had a keen
and loving sympathy for ignor-
ance struggling toward enlighten-
ment, for faulty endeavors to
reach a higher plane of life, for a
blind man, cropping in the dark
crying for light even while he
stumbled over things sacred and
beautiful.
But against pretense of any
sort, for sham in any kind of sac
red garments stolen from the
wardrobe of old truths, for any
shade of hypocrisy, his wrath
blazed like the anger of a god who
sees his shrines desecrated by i'm
pious hands. And for this some
people sometimes called him If
reverent. People who had felt
the lash of scorn. And in nothing
had he profounder contempt than
for sham and hypocrisy in art.
He did tear down some of our
The Honolulu times. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1902-1911, 1910-07-01

learning and and great thirst tor
knowledge. Indeed, it often
seemed that his mind and thoughts
were too great for his fragile
body.
Nor have l ever known a man
with higher ideals, pure motives,
loftier aims and object of life than
he. Nor man who read more, or
thought deeper, or worked harder
to solve this great problem of life.
Though the Judge had temper
and could speak with no uncer-
tain tone of voice, he was usually
gentle, cheerful, bright and witty,
and most pleasant person to
meet. Among other things, the
Judge had great love of justice
and truth, and no man that | have
known had a greater love or was
a greater patron of art, or one who
could see deeper into picture and
pick out beauties unknown or un-
seen by ordinary mortals as his
fine collection of pictures testifies.
He had also a great love of nature,
and to him this fair land was in
very deed the Paradise of the
Pacific" and when in health it
was a JOY unspeakable to him to
live here in this favored land, and
to enjoy the many blessings that
abound here.
Judge Hart was also a keen
lover of sport and enjoyed good
game of tennis or baseball, or
foot race, as few younger men do.
Indeed, he was a great lover OF
everything that was fine and
noble and good, and had little use
for the frivolities of life. He was
also an epicene rather than an
epicure, and would take nothing
into his mouth which would cor
rupt his mind, either food or
drink.
I should like to say many more
pleasant things about him if space
would permit, but will merely say
that his passing will mean a great
loss to many persons outside of
his family, and will cause void
in many hearts which cannot be
filled. y.
