BISHOP COOKS
TRIBUTE TO PLJINNER

The Right Rev Philip Cook.
bishop OF the Episcopal Diocese OF
Delaware, paid the following high
tribute TO Warden Piummer and his
work this morning:
THE death OF Warden Plummer
marks the passing OF one OF the most
useful citizens OF Delaware. lie has
made his work so uniquely his own
that it will be difficult to find a man
TO carry on what. he has begun so
splendidly-impossible to find one

1T was his strong personality back
or it that has made the honor sys-
tenn al the New Castle Workhouse
effective. With the humility of
real man he did not even know this.
He thought anybody could do il and
gave the credit TO the system. His
friends know better. No system
works itself His force OF character
gave il efficiency.
"MOrdecai Plummer -as a deeply
religious man. I knew him in this
connection at the Episcopal chapel
at Hillcrest. where he was a COM
municant and also a warden, and
also as warden at the Workhouse.
He was a Christian by conviction.
How often he has said. referring TO
the Workhouse:

in a place like this-the Calvary
cure. He believed that and acted on
that conviction.
Few wardens were loved and
obeyed by the men in an institution

obeyed him because the better type
OF the men knew that. even in en-
forcing the strictest discipline, as
well : in other things. he was work

strong will that never let senti-
ment interfere with discipline. They
had 10 obey.
BY their fruits We shall know
them Let those who would appre-
ciate his work compare the Work
house today with that OF past years
or with the penal institutions OF
other states.
"One thing is due him from the
citizens of the Stste-to see that the
spirit OF his work is maintained.
that the foundations he has laid be
bu'lded upon. that this humanitar-
ian Improvement be not lost. but
