Telegrams of condolence came in i from all parts of the United States. All places of business will be closed during the hours of the funeral. The regret of all classes of citizens and the general grief of those who were more intimately acquaint ed with the life and customs of the man are sincere. The prominent people of the city called at the house in large numbers. lIU Early Life. Like Justice Lamar's personality, his public career was remarkable. He comes of one of the oldest families in Georgia. He was born in Putnam county in 1825, and after his father's death was taken to Ox ford, Miss., where his education may he said to have begun. After acquiring all that was to he learned in the Oxford schools young Lamar was sent to Emory college in Georgia. He graduated in 1845, at once commenced the study of law in Macon, and was admitted to the bar two years later. The citizens of Mississippi were unwill ing to permit their brilliant young advo cate to waste his ability on a plantation, and in 1856 he was elected to congress as a Democrat. He served from 1857 to 1800. Things had reached such a pass then that every public oflicer had to decide between the Union and the confederacy. Mr. Lamar therefore resigned his seat in congress to become a member of the Mississippi seces sion convention, in which body lie played an important part. When hostilities began, Mr. Lamar ac cepted a commission as lieutenant colonel of the Nineteenth Mississippi regiment. He was afterward promoted to the colo nelcy, and up to the day of his death the people of his home town, Oxford, almost rk ' JUSTICE L. Q. C. LAMAB. always referred to hint as Colonel Lamar and seldom as senator or judge. 11l health compelling his retirement from actual serv ice in the field, Mr. Lamar was sent as a Confederate commissioner to Russia. His mission, as history relates, failed of its pur pose. When the war closed he went back to the University of Mississippi, where he be came professor of political economy and social science in 1866, and was given the chair of law a year later. He then once more resumed his practice at the bar, which he continued until he was elected to congress in 1872. He was re-elected in 1874 and in 187(1 was chosen by the legislature as one of the representatives of his adopted state in the United States senate. He re mained in the senate until March 4, 1885, when he accepted the portfolio of secretary of the interior tendered him by President Cleveland. On Dec. 6, 1887, Mr. Cleveland sent to the senate the name of L. Q. C. Lamar to be associate justice of the United States su preme court, vice Justice Woods, deceased. After some delay the nomination was con firmed, and in the latter part of Junuary, 1888, he entered upon the discharge of his new duties. Governor Werts Signs Communions. TRENTON, Jail. 20.

Mr. Smith is wealthy and has a fine man sion in Newark. The new senator is rather stout in build, and his face Is clean shaven. He is a great friend of William C. Whit ney, and the latter recently said regarding j the legislature's choice: I am much pleased with the selection of Mr. Smith as the next United States sen ator from New Jersey. He is a man of great ability. In addition he is fair mind ed—ln fact I have rarely seen a man who was more open minded and unprejudiced. Such qualities do not always accompany ■ force and strength He has, however, all jof these traits. He is forceful and ingen -1 ious, a leader in fact, but at the same time he is fair and deliberate, and can see both sides of a question. He can make a good ; speech, too, and with all these qualities 1 know he will not only make a good sen ator, but a senator of whom New Jersey I will be proud. 1 rejoice at his success. He . was one of the most earnest and strongest friends Mr. Cleveland had at Chicago, and , I found him a most important ally. Mr. Carnegie Returns Home.

It is hardly necessary to do more than tear the wrapper from The Union Printer these days to see that there has been a recent chaitge in the manage ment and editorial control. The paper has had several editors, {food, bad and indifferent, since it was first established eight years ago as The Boycotter. The latest change was more radical than any which preceded it, and it was for the better. The new editor, William Mc- Cabe, is a man of brains, of ideas, with advanced views upon the great ques tions which are supposed to interest the intelligent workingman. One can find in The Union Printer now something besides political hogwash (at so much per inch) and the blackguardism of cowards writing over nom de plumes, and Mr. McCabe says he'll hold her nozzle ag'in the bank so long as he is the pilot. William, we are looking at you. The Mail and Express, in an editorial anent the recent vote cast in New York, says: The secret ballot uo doubt facilitated the vote for outside parties and enabled many a timid man, who would otherwise have re mained true to his party, to throw away his vote on the Socialist, Prohibitionist or Popu list ti %;et. Colonel Shepard, editor of The Mail and Express, will probably start a move ment for a return to the old method of voting so as to keep the "timid" man from again "throwing away his vote." It uiay not be out of place to state that Shepard is the man of whom his father in-law, Commodore Vanderbilt, said, "He can be more kinds of a d d fool than any man on earth." Professor Hadley, instructor of polit ical economy in Yale college, delivered an address upon Jay Gould a few days after the railroad king's death, in the course of which he said: Plainly speaking, he used official position to defruud those who had especially trusted him. But that is not ull; he .robbed not only the in vestor, but society, which made him the de pository of its economic power, llis crime did not arise so much from immorality as from a falfie system of ethics. Not a burglar or mur derer in the laud has it in his power to do the evil that inauy a financier in good and regular standing has done und is still doing. I don't want to argue with the pro fessor, but will he kindly send mo word if he ever said such things about Gould while he was alive, and also if he is pre pared to make similar statements con cerning men of the same stripe who are not yet dead, and will make them—giv ing the names —before they cross the range? The latest wrinkle is the trial of the New Orleans truck drivers and freight handlers on the charge that in their re cent strike they conspired against com merce. The Rock Island telegraphers delayed their strike just long enough to escape indictment on the charge of con spiracy to destroy the comet. New York. Jos. It. BUCHANAN. Santa Claus and Homestead. A New York paper a few days before Christmas contained what purported to be the letters a number of Homestead children wrote to Santa Claus. The children of one of the schools were asked to write to Santa, and these letters were selected from the 800 submitted. Carnegie and Frick should take copies of these plaintive little missives penned by their victims home to their own chil dren that they might learn of the good ness of their fathers: DKAU SANTA CLAUS— We have hard trouble to keep our living. My papa is not workiug in the mill. Please send my brothers and sisters some clothes. Please remember us. DEAR SANTA CLAUS—YOU are a kind man. I houp you won't forget us. Homestead is a poor place. Dear isunta Claus, bring me some gum boots, aud then 1 don't wuutuothiug more this year. DKAU SANTE— My papa is out of work and two brothers aud one sister, and my oldest brother is out of work since 0 of July, and I am thinking we shall have a poor time. I some times work at the brick yard. DEAR SANTA CLAUS—I want you to bring mo a pair of boots. 1 want to know if you will. 1 think you will. You are a nice old man. The men in Homestead have been on the strike, and they have had trouble. The men have had uo work for a long time. DEAR SANTA CLAUS— The people in Home stead had trouble, aud their are a good many out of work, and they arc starving. Please give me a pair of boots and a suit of clothes and a story book. DEAR SANTA— They are 1,800 men out of work, aud they are starving. The relief man went around and asked if they needed any thing to eat. There was a little baby died, and they bad not enough money to buy a coftln, aud had to bury it in a box. Please send me a story book. I not want much this year, but if you will bring mo the story book 1 guess 1 will close. Poor little barefooted victims of Mam mon! ltreml at Any Cost. A new expedient by the unemployed, avowedly urged on by the Social Demo cratic federation, engaged the attention of the London school board recently. A deputation of ten persons presented a petition asking that the thousands of children who were starving on account of their parents being out of work should be provided with at least three meals a day. A gentleman who spoke in sup port of the memorial had no collar, but wore a blue jersey. In reply to an inquiry whether ho had calculated what the cost of compliance with his demand would amount to he j remarked: "That is perfectly irrelevant ! to us. We don't care what it costs."

PHILLIPS BROOKS, i MASSACHUSETTS'EPISCOPALBISHOF ' DIES OF PNEUMONIA. The Eminent Episcopal Bishop of Massa chusetts Who Breached hi Churches ol Other Dciinniiiiut ions Than His Own and Who Possessed llure (Jilts of Eloquence?. BOSTON, Jan. 25.—The funeral services over the remains of Bishop Phillips Brooks at Trinity church Thursday will be con ducted by Right Rev. Henry Cod man Pot ter, bishop of New York, who will be as sisted by Bishop Clark of Rhode Island and Rev. Dr. F. Winchester Donald, rectoi BISHOP PHILLIPS BROOKS, of Trinity church. While those who are directing the arrangements for the funeral realize the place that the late bishop held in the hearts of the entire community within and outside of the limits of his own church, and realize as well that even roomy Trinity will be unable to hold prob ably thousands who would like to be ad mitted, they have found it necessary to govern their arrangements so as to accom modate the members of the church in the diocese and kindred associations, so that when that is accomplished it is doubtful if there will be any seats left for the general public. The Consecration. The consecration of Mr. Brooks as bishop was an event of unusual iuterest not only to Episcopalians, but also to Christian peo pie of all shades of religious belief, for Mr. Brooks had without the seeking -uncon sciously become so identified with the re ligious life of Boston and become so in grafted into the hearts of the people that no single church was large enough to mo nopolize his influence. The event was sig nificant, because of the worldwide reputa tion of the man who was then to be made .the head of the Episcopal church in this state. The broad and catholic spirit of Mr. Brooks, liis kindly, generous, philuuthropic nature, his singleminded purpose to do the will of the Divine Masterand his entire ab sorption in the cause of Christianity and the uplifting of poor humanity all com bined to give him a place in the affections of the people, which is not often uccorded to great men, and at the same time won for him the respect and esteem of strong de nominational men. Some of the opposition to the confirmation of Mr. Brooks was in stigated by those who thought that he was too tolerant to be at the head of so great a denomination. Bishop Brooks was one of the busiest men in Boston. Fqom early morning often till late at night his work went on, seven days in the week. He was a greatly overworked man, aud but for his fine physique and his robust health he would long ago have succumbed to the burden which has gradually in creased from year to year. A Distinguished Career. Phillips Brooks was born in Boston Dec. 13. 1835. He graduated at Harvard in 1855, studied theology in the seminary at Alex andria, Va., was ordained in 1859, and be came rector of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Advent, Philadelphia, a comparatively obscure charge. Three years later lie became rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity, one of the largest and most fashionable churches in Philadelphia. He remained there seven years, in 18t9 becom ing rectorof Trinity church, Boston. About a year ago he was consecrated bishop of the diocese of Massachusetts, succeeding the late Benjamin Henry Paddock. While lie was pastor of Trinity church Dr. Brooks declined many calls elsewhere, a professorship in Harvard and the office of assistant bishop of Pennsylvania, to which he was elected in 1880. In his Boston parish he everted a power ful influence for good, especially over young men. Bishop Brooks was one of the most bril liant pulpit orators of the Protestant Epis copal church and had a more rapid de livery probably than any clergyman in the country, lie was noted for his "low church" views and preached in the churches of other denominations than his own. Bishop Brooks published "Lectures on Preaching," delivered before the Yale Di vinity school (New York, 1877); "Sermons" (1878 and 1881); "The Influence of Jesus," Bohlen lectures, delivered in Philadelphia in 1879, and "Baptism aud Confirmation" (1880). Bishop Brooks was the ninth pastor set tled over Trinity parish, and he was the fifth rector of Trinity who has been conse crated to the highest office of the Episco pal church. The-Trust.
