He says: “If a majority of the citizens of a particular locality are in favor of no li- cense none can be granted, but if a ma jority are in favor of licenses the Court must grant licenses to all who apply. It just comes to this, and there is no vse to try to escape the conclusion. The d's eretionary power of the Court is lost in the will of the peaple.” According to this decision a majority of the citizens ot a locglity petitioning against license would act against it. We think other judges will not co-incide with Judge Rockafellar.

Parker, last Beecher He expressed Henry Ward Beecher was born at Liteh field, Ct, June 24, 1513. His early educa tion he received at Hartford, and then later he entered Mount Pleasant scademy ww study navigation and prepare for a seafar ing life. This idea he soon gave up, and entered Amheret College to prepare for the ministry His wife was born at West Sutton, Wor. coster County, Mass, in 1812. She was of English descent. Her maiden name was Eunice White Bullard. She was educated al Worcester and Hadley, Mass, and while Mr. Beecher was at Ambhorst, her brother invited him over to spend his vacation. Here sho met him. The lovers were en gaged for seven yoars, and were married in 1887, when Mr. Beecher accepted his first call at Lawrenceburg. The issue of the marriage was ten children, of whom four are at present living. It was almost by accident that Mr, Beocher came to Brooklyn. What is now Plymouth church had first been organized into 4 new Congregational church. The first services were to be held on the 190th of May, 1847.

He was totally insensible, but the doctor #aid that he was probably like one in a troubled sleep. At 8 o'clock Dr. Searle saw that the end was at hand, and the family were again summoned to the death chamber. Death came steadily and quietly. His breathing grew less la- bored, and it was hardly possible for those who watched beside the hed to de tect any changes in it. At 930 Mr, Beecher quietly breathed his last, Hie death was due to asphyxia, because of the failure of the heart's action.
