[Last week we announced the death of Fred Thomas Ingham, son of Air. and Mrs. F* U. Ingham. We now publish a portion of the remarks ] made by Uev. K. A. Meim at his | funeral.J My dear friends, the occasion which brought us together is an un usually snd one. We nre gathered not to weep for Fritz Ingram; not to hear a sermon preached over Ills mortal remains, but to pay our trib-; : ut** to a boy who was known and ! beloved liy all of us. I On the:>: 5, of July, 1 St»r», there was j born into tliis household a little baby boy. The advent of this new mem ber brought joy and happiness. A little jewel entrusted by (Jod to brighten the home. This boy was called Fred Thomas Ingham. The hoy soon grew up and was the de voted companion of bis sister, and a sotiretfof contentment to father and mother. Before he attained the u-ual age when children are sent to public schools, he showed unu-ual intellect ual ability. Not only was this an inheritance, hut his lif" was sur rounded by an intellectual atmos sphere. Frit/, as he was called by most people, was a very bright hoj in school. This is certified to by all his teachers and all his classmates. He was rather reserved at times and you had to be with much in or der to appreciate him. Hut thai part of hischaracter which impress ed me more than any other, was his thougbtfulness. lie was generally cool, steady .nd deliberate, but not rash or impulsive. Mow often have I seen these traits manifested in Fritz! Time and again w hen I have asked him questions the response al ways came thoughtfully and deliber ately. These splendid traits seemed lo me to be characteristics of the boy. That old motto "think twice before you speak once" Fritz carried out in his life. But Fritz had many other lovable traits. lie was a good boy. And tlii- 1 can say with all sincerity. There was nothing low or deceit ful about Fritz. On the contrary lie j was open, frank and honest. Anil j 1 think you can all bear me out in ; this. Fritz was beloved by every j one. His teachers always spoke] highly of him. And what better evidence could there be of his being loved by hi* boy companions and schoolmates, than yonder beautiful floral pieces which surround his coff in. No sooner had the news reach ed the public that Fritz had died, j than his little chnms realizing that i their circle had been broken, and tin- j able to retrieve their loss, put to-j get her their savings, and purchased j the beautiful floral offerings which j you see marked as from his school mates and one marked from his seatj mate. Boys your tokens are appreciated j by the parents beyond the express-! ions of man. Never was child more beloved by j parents; never was bond of love j stronger between boy and father, ! between boy and mother than in this j family. Fritz and his father were true I companions. In the day time the lather entered the boy's pleasures.: The evenings were spent in prepar-J ing the lessons for school It is this cleise companionship which the bereaved father will miss, j Never has child loved the mother | or mother loved the child more than i in this case*. Fritz would throw his! arms abont his mother and call her] his "dearest little mother." Thej bond of love could not have been greater. But alas, earthly affection must be severed some day. "There is no flock, however watch ed and tended, But one dead lamb is there. There is no home howso'er defend ed, But has one vacant chair." Fritz was not a sickly boy, beyond slight sickness common to us all. No symptons of that deadly dis ease, u hi«h consumed his vitality, | manifested itself to any extent till ! Monday morning when the first eoin : plaint was heard. Tuesday he went j to school as usual but was taken sick |in the afternoon. Ou Wednesday it became too evident that appendici tis in an advanced stage was the trouble. An operation became im perative, and took place on Thurs day morning. It was apparently succe-seful and for a time Fritz did as well as could be expected. For hours he was conscious and talked to parents and relatives. Ou Friday afternoon about :$ o'clock he lost con sciousness and gradually grew weak !cr until hi* spirit took its flight, a few minutes after midnight Satur [ clay morning. Today we view for the list time noi Fritz Ingham but all that re mains mortal of him. As J gaze into | his coffin I see delineated upon his i pallid features not expressions of pain or suffering, but I seem to see a smile play about hie lips just as if, when his little spirit was endeavor ! ipg t<,» free itself from this mortal [ cage, when the last bonds of all that jis earthly were about to he severed, he looked up to Heaven and saw the "Everlasting Arms',,of hisOod ex tended down to him, and heard the sweetest voice, that mortal ever heard, say unto him, Come Fritz thy sufferings are over, enter int> the everlasting joy of thy Lord. And as quietly as the. night glides into the day, Ins Utile soul took its flight i to the realms of "eternal light" there to dwell with God forever. "The Tinvanda lleview says; Let Governor Pennypacker rejoice. lie has one., supporter. Rev. Kd ward Kveritt Hale, the distinguish ed author and I'nitarian minister, j in a letter to the chureh paper of the Massachusetts Unitarians, says that Governor IVnnypaeker is the most sagaeioiis governor Pennsylva nia has had since the days of Ben jamin Franklin. lie thinks that Governor Penny packer's last mes sage is the ablest state paper the country has seen in many a day. Governor lVunypncker is also sup ported by one newspaper, the 1., pnrte (Sullivan County) .New- Item, putting it's lone shoulder to the wheel." To he supported by such a man a- Kdward Everitt Hale is a well mer- j ited compliment to our fearless Gov- j ernor. There are thousande of sound minded men who think as Mr. Hale does. They realize that some legis lation is needed to remedy yellow journalism. Most of our new-pap ers are too sensitive. 1 hey do not want to lie or slander, why should they shield those who no'.' Tin re i no attack on newspapers which tell the truth, or on those who by mis take publish untruths, which they willingly correct. The legislation is for those who intentionally and hab itnally with falsehoods, defame and villify honorable citizens. No one liSs ever supposed that a free press means a licentious press, why should it include a wilful and deliberate lying press? It cannot be denied that some newspapers live and thrive on defaming the charac ter of public men. They pander to a depraved public taste, which grows upon that upon whic iit feeds. A private citizen cannot defend Nim- j self against these newspaper attacks' with any success. They go forth j and are read; the public laugh or j sneer. An answer, if made, never reaches them. Governor IVnnypaeker has rec j contended that an act be passed to ! remedy this evil, and straightway j the newspapers, great and small, are yelping at his heels. The chief mag- j tartrate of a great Commonwealth, putin the highest position in thej State, by a large majority of its rep- j utahlecitizens, is caricatured, mis-, represented and maligned because \ he, in the performance of his duty j recommends to the legislators that they pass an act to suppress yellow journalism. The Review says: "Governor IV'.- nypacker is also support" d by .me newspaper, the Laporte, N< ws «tem, putting its lone shoulder to the wheel." j We think we are not entirely [ alone, but if so, we are not discon certed. If we are not in accord with ! the newspapers of tLis State, on this | subject, we are in accord with the j command "Thou shall i.ot hear false | witness against thy ni .„ e>ors."
