JUSTICE LAMAR DEAD
THE DISTINGUISHED SOUTHERNER
DIES AT MACON.
After Serving In tlie Confederate Army He
Was Elected to Doth Houses of Con
gress. Made a Member of Mr. Cleveland's
Cabinet and by Him Appointed Justice.
MACON, Jan. 25. —The funeral of Justice
l.amar will take place Friday afternoon.
The body of the late justice will lie in state
at the residence of W. H. Virgin at Vine
villo up to noon on Friday, at which time
the cortege will leave the house for the
Mulberry Street Methodist church, under
escort of the pallbearers, representing the
bar of Macon, the state of Georgia and the .
supreme bench. The body lies in a front
parlor, where the numerous handsome j
floral decorations that have already been \
sent in are massed. The face presents a
calm look, death having made but little ;
change. 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

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.

SENATOR JAMES SMITH.
' The Man fur Whom Kx-Governor Abbett
Stepped Anlde.
J TRENTON, Jan. 25. —The monotony of the
proceedings in the legislature was broken
i by the taking of the formal ballot for
j United States senator. Both houses met
' in joint session and ratified the result of
yesterday's ballot in the separate branches.
The assembly vote was: Smith, 39; Sewell,
21. Senate vote: Smith, 16; Sewell, 5.
James Smith, Jr., was born at Newark
in 1851. He received a good school and
college education, and after he was grad
uated his father gave him a place in his
big New York dry goods house. The young
man, however, did not like the business
and established himself as a leather dealer
/v\ Jf.
JAMES SMITH, JR.
In Newark. Ten years ago be entered poli
tics as a Democrat and has held several
municipal offices, besides being u promi
nent figure at conveutions of his party.
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.
I NEW YORK Jan. 24.—Among the passen
! gers of the North Gerinun Lloyd steamship
! Kaiser Wilbelm I, which arrived yesterday
j from Genoa, were Andrew Carnegie, his
| wife and Miss Whitefield, Mrs. Carnegie's
sister, who hud been abroad for some time,
j Mr. Carnegie and his party were the first,
to leave directly that the ship was made
i fast in her slip, and entering a coach they
were driven rapidly away. At Mr. Carne
' gie's house at 5 West Fifty-first street
Henry Clay Frick met his chief, and for
j several hours the two were closeted to
i gether. To all requests for an interview
l Mr. Carnegie sent word that he had noth-
I ing to say for publication,
j Before Mr. Frick left Homestead he was
I reported to have said that everything at
the scene of the recent strike was just as
lie wanted it, und that it would remain so
unless Mr. Carnegie should "put his foot
in it" when he arrived home.
James B. Scott of Pittsburg called later
in the day. At the time of the Homestead
strike Mr. Carnegie was said to have de
cided to withdraw the offer he had made
to donate a public library for the city of
Pittsburg, and Mr. Scott is here to make
an effort to have the offer remain good.

FOUR LITTLE NUGGETS.
tinned Out of tli Stream of Current
Invents by Ruchanan.
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.

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

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

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.

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

DIES OF PNEUMONIA.
The Eminent Episcopal Bishop of Massa

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.
