Senator Lodge Pays Tribute.

Senator Lodge sad in part:
MY acquaintance, which soon grew
into friendship. began with Senator Clay
when he entered the Senate. We formed
n standing pair which continued I'M
broken throughout his service. This
brought us gradually into close rela-
,ion. and | came to know him well. lie
was eminentiy lovable man. His sim
nlicity of nature, the directness of his
outlook upon men and upon life, his
straightforward ways, his kindness and
sympathy all grew upon one.
He had fought his way up In the world
and attained to the highest positions by
hard work and by the strong. SINGLE
qualities of both mind and character.
Because he had learned something for
himself he did not at once conclude that
il was unknown until II had appeared
above his own horizon. he was wholly
free from that consuming egotsm which
is Of such quality that IT can permit
nothing but its possessor to be seen or
heard This. in a roundabout way, -
saving that Senator Clay was as modest
as he was simple and as unpretentiOus as
he was a:ghtforward.
At the conclusion of the eulogies of Mr..
CLAY. the Senate turned to consider the
pubHc service of Mr.. Dolliver. Senator
Cummns was the first to speak of the
Iowa orator, and the others were Sens-
tors Cullom of Illinois, Tillman Of South
Carolina. Clapp of Minnesota, Beveridge
of Indiana. La Toilette of Wisconsin,
Gore of Oklahoma, Chamberlain of Ore

Tributes to Senator Clay.

1t was to Mr.. Clay that the first tributes
were paid. Senator Bacon. his collea que.
who escorted him to the desk of the Vice
President to be sworn, on March A. 1897,
and who had accompanied his body to it's
final resting place at Marietta, Ga, voiced
the first praise of his accomplishments as
a lawyer and as a legislator and of his
usefulness and value as a member Of the
United States Senate. He was followed
by Senators Scott of West Virginia Talia-
ferro of Florida. Lodge of Massachusetts.
Overman Of North Carolina, Carter OF
Montana and Bailey of Texas. illness
prevented his successor. Mr.. Terrell, from
participating in the memorial ceremonies.
Senator Bacon spoke from his knowi-
edge of Mr.. Clay gained by long associa-
ton with him. and it was by setting forth
the intimate affairs of the dead senator s
life that Mr.. Bacon lauded his late col
league.
He was not Graded in luxury, nor
were the muscles of his early boyhoOd
softened in indulgent ease. He was the
eldest son of modest farmer in Cobb
county, Ga, where he was born" Sena-
tor Bacon remarked. During his boy
hood he assisted his father in the manual
labor of the farm.

Romance in His Life.

Like so many men who in America
have later achieved the highest place,
when he left college he taught school
while he prepared himself for admis-
sion to the bar. This he did for two
years, teaching his scholars by day and
himself studying the law books at night.
Among those scholars was d charming.
fair-haired girl, Miss Frances White,
who soon thereafter became his loving
and devoted wife.
"Without seeking the position, he was
chosen the head and leader Of the demo
cratic party i'll his state. Soon there
after an unexpected stroke of fate opened
the door to him which led to the Senate.
Upon the approa ching close Of the sena-
torial term of Gen. Gordon. Charles f:

Pointed Out Boyhood Labors.

"At one time since the date when he
became a United States senator, when
passing with him through his native
county, he pointed out to me field
where, as boy, during the time spared
from school, he had for years himself
guided the pillow and assisted in making
the crops. On that same day he mar
rated to me an incident to which later
events lent a more than ordinary inter-
est. 1t was that three years after the
close of the civil war he was called from
his pillow in the field to the bordering
roadside by his father and presented to
one who was passing by, and who was
to him unknown.
1t proved to be Gen. John B. Gordon
the battle-scarred veteran, who, at
thirty-two years of age. had by Lees
personal selection commanded the right
wing of his dauntless army. Gordon
took the wide-eyed boy by the hand,
commended his industry and predicted
for him a prosperous future.
The boy, with swelling heart, returned
to the pillow, which he had left in the
furrow, and he who was to his youth
full magination the magic hero went
upon his way. Twenty-eight years
after that first meeting, when Gen.
Gordon closed his last term of service
here, he who had then met him as the
ffteen-year-o farmer boy succeeded
him as a senator from Georgia in this
body.
