HOLMES’ DEATH Funeral Services to Be Held on Wednesday. LAST OF A GREAT QUINTET Tributes to His Worth by Those Who Knew Him Best. EULOGIES OVER THE SEA Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BOSTON, Mass., October 8.—Judge Oliver Wendeli Holmes, jr., the poet’s only surviv- ing son, Mrs. Oliver Wendell Holmes, jr., and Mr. Edward J. Holmes, a grandson of the poet, the only three remaining members of the Holmes family, watched at the bedside of the poet, who breathed his last at 12:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon, The end came peacefully, quietly, calmly, and the brilliant, well-trained mind lighted the philosopher's way down to the very brink of the dark river. Dr. Holmes seemed to have believed that his eighty-fifth birthday was his last. On August 29, when that event was being cele- brated, he dictated these sentences to a reporter, the last utterances he ever gave for publication: “The burden of years sits lightly upon me, but after four score years the encroach- .ments of time make themselves felt wiih rapidly-increasing progress. The twelfth, septennial, period, has always seemed to me as one of the natural boundaries of life. One who has lived to complete his eighty- fourth year has had his full share, even of an old man’s allowance. Whatever is granted over that is a prodigal indulgence of nature. “When one can no longer hear the lark, when he can no longer recognize the faces he passes in the street, when he has to watch his steps, when it becomes more’and more difficult for him to recall names, he {8 reminded at every moment that he must spare himself, or nature will not spare him the penelties she exacts for overtaxing his declining powers.” President Elot's Tribute. President Ellot of Harvard University says of Dr. Holmes’ connection with the university: “Dr. Holmes was a hard and faithful worker, and one of the brightest men who ever lectured at the medical school. He did a great deal to make the school what it has become. He lectured regularly five times a week throughout the school year, and never tailed to be on hand. He was the most careful of men in preparation of his lectures, and very painstaking in his ex- periments and very exact in dissections, “Dr, Holmes’ greatest contribution to the | world’s medical knowledge was the disc ery of the fact that puerperal fever is tagious. He contended so for years, | h all sorts of ridicule. It is now, of an axiom of medical knowledge once heard Dr. Osler of Baltimore say that | this is one of the greatest contributions | that a New England physician ever made to medical science.” Prof. Charles Eliot Norton of Harvard, | Dr. Holmes’ most intimate friend, said: “Dr, Holmes was a light-hearted, genial, pleasant writer, though keen; he was a wit rather than a humorist. He was inclined also to be sentimental. But his writing was able, in spite of the fact that he was not a deep thinker. He was no philosopher, yet had uncommon good sense. He often amazed you by the wisdom of some little e, that would seem at first thought h. His novels are very good. was probably as good as any ! produced in this country—at least, of any physiolog! novel that dealt with more intimate relations of life. One of the best things about Dr. Holmes was that he realized his own limits, He would never have been ‘the man’ to write the Com- memoration Ode. Lowell was the only one who could fill that place.”’ His Literary } Mr. Henry O. Houghton of Houghton, Mifflin & Co., Dr. Holmes’ friend and pub- lisher, sald of his lterary methods: “His copy was always written on common white letier paper, in a very clear hand, and most carefully prepared, with very few inter- Uneations, and these were only put in after | the greatest deliberation. He used to bring his copy to the office himself, and would afterward come and get the proof, which he most carefully and painstakingly cor- rected,frequently making additional changes and corrections therein when a line in cold type did not exactly suit him.” Today the city of his pride and love 1s buried in grief at the death of the genial autocrat. The city now mourns Emerson, Longfellow, Whittier, Holmes and Lowell. They were of about the same age, Emer- son was born in 1803, Longfellow and Whit- tier In 1807, Holmes in 1809 and Loweil in | 1819; but Holmes was the last to reach his best. Whittier had become known in 1S: Longfellow began to sing in 1837, and in 1841 was in the full tide of his career. Low- | ell's| “Bigelow Papers" were household words by 1850. But it was not until 1: that the “autocrat” began his farmers’ papers in the Atlantic. | The funeral will be from King’s Chapel | next Wednesday at noon. Rev. Stepford | W. Brooke will probably be the officiating clergyman. ®ew Knew of Hin Critical Mines. BOSTON, October 8—Until the news of Dr. Holmes’ death appeared in the papers today few people, beyond the immediate family of the venerable poet, knew that his illness was critical. Though he had been a sufferer from asthma for some time, and the struggle with this disease had left him in a weakened condition, it was not until noon yesterday that the first decided mark of death's coming was seen. In a brief quarter of an hour the great poet was no more. ‘To oujward appearances there ts nothing about the residence on Beacon street to indicate that the domestic serenity within has been ruthlessly and suddenly broken. “ENDEARED TO.HIS READERS.” Sympathetic Articles in the London Newspapers, LONDON, October 8—The afternoon newspapers published sympathetic articles on the death of Oliver Wendell Holmes, The Westminister Gazette says: “His death is one of those Iterary losses which will be felt as a personai one right across the broad lands and seas where English is spoken. ‘The Globe says: : “It is no exaggeration to say that the news will be received by the English-speak- ing people throughout the world with a feeling of aimost personal bereavement. He was among those few authors who en- dear themselves to their readers by winning love before admiration.” ease Union Soldiers’ Alliance.

Mr. Simon Wolf is Chose& President of the Board and Other Omeers Are Elected. , ‘ 3 The board of children’s-guardians held its arnual meeting Saturday afternoon at the headquarters of the board, in the Walker building. It was announced, through a let- ter from the president of the; board, Miss Harriet B. Loring, that, she had tendered her resignation to the, justjces of the Supreme Court, by whom the members of the board are appointed. This action of Miss Loring was a surprise to her asso- clates on the board and put a stop to any further inquiry on the part of the board in regard to her connection with the charges made against the board in the Senate by Mr. Blackburn. It will be remembered that at the last session Senator Blackburn, in the course of a speech, asserted that he had it on the highest authority, namely, from the president of the board, that the board was run under one-man-power are t the policy of the board was in- Sanpesetd the Rharitable institutions of the city. These public statements naturally re- ceived attention at the hands of the board, and they not only requested that an inves- tigation be made by the Senate into the truth of theSe charges, which request was granted and a committee was appointed, but a letter was written to Miss Loring asking her to explain the statements for which she was given as the authority. The reply received from Miss Loring in response to this request was, in the opin- fon of the members of the board, evasive, and no answer to the inquiry addressed to her. Any further action in the premises, as far as Miss Loring was concerned, was made unnecessary by the announcement of her resignation, A resolution was adopted by the board, which expresses the above opinion as to the character of the letter which Miss Loring sent to. the board. committee appointed by the board will ap- pear before the Senate committee on inves- ‘gation when the inquiry {s begun. Officers Elected, At its-meeting on Saturday Mr. Simon Wolf, who was the first president of the board, was elected president in place of Miss Loring. Mrs. H. B. F. McFarland was elected vice president,and Mr. B. Pick- man Mann, secretary and disbursing officer; Mr. Herbert Lewis was continued as agent. The report of the xgent, Mr. Lewis, showed that out of the allowance for the quarter, amounting to $3,250 of the appro- priation made by Congress for this year for the care of children, the board had to pay_ $3,150 for children other than feeble minded, while the expente on account of the fceble-minded was over $120, This makes a deficit of © $1,100, and it is apparent, the report states, that unless the District ‘authorities make some arrange- ment to take care of feeble-minded children thev will have to be thrown upon the com- munity. It is stated that the numb: the care of the board has in or of wards in ‘eased greatly, appropriation last year was car it 1s only $13,000, The $24,000 this ye and mi children, heretofore terior Department, has been thrown cn the beard, aud owing to the crippled condi- ton of the finances and the increase in the number of wards the board finds that it has become a serious problem to do that which is essential. Atter a full consideration of the situation the board appoinied a committee consisting of Mr. Wolt, M Hallam and Mr. Wm. J. Miller to investigate the subject of finances and to appear before the Commis- sloners and the committee on appropria- tions, ; _— INTERSTATE DEMOCRATS. Foreman Hrian and George M. Pull- man Hoth Discussed. At its regular meeting on Saturday night the Interstate Democratic Association again discussed the alleged partisan bias shown by Capt. H. T. Brian, foreman of the gov- ernment printing office tn his treatment of ernment printing office, fn his treatment of mittee appointed to investigate the charges made against Capt. Brian was submitted. Col, B. F. Clayton, as the committee chair- tran, said that the investigation had pro- gressed far enough to enable him to state that Capt. Brian had been found to be ‘uilty of malfeasance in office, of having onnived at the misappropriation of public property; of running a political bureau in his office; of disregarding the civil service laws, and of persistently discriminating against democrats in the administration of Col. Clayton said the commit- tee would need more time to perfect the and also said he thought Capt. Brian was on the point of resigning. Upon motion of Mr. Hardwicke of Vir- ginia, and after an animated discussion, it was decided by a vote of 52 to 13 to re- quest all members of the association going home to vote to refrain from using Pull- man cars on their journey. This action caused Col. Clayton to remark that the as- sociation had been turned into a populist concern that would be hooted at from Maine to the Pacific, and to assure the meeting that it would be sorry for what it had d in a week. He afterward resigned from the committees to which ne had been assigned. A considerable amount of minor business was transacted, after which a brief speech was made by W. W. Warwick of Ohio. All western voters were requested to meet at the headquarters of the association, on Louisiana avenue, next Thursday, to make arrangements for going home to Vote. Set DAY OF FAST. ‘Tomorrow Begins the Hebrew Day of Atonement. Orthodox Hebrews throughout the world will celebrate the most solemn holiday in the Jewigh Church during the twenty-four hours commencing at 6 o'clock tomorrow evening. Ever since the days of Abraham the Day of Atonement, Yom Hakipurrim, has been observed by the Jews with due re- gard to its great significance and in ac- cordance with the command contained in the 23d chapter of Leviticus, making the tenth day of the seventh month a day of atonement unto the Lord. In this country the holiday will be observed by a rigorous fast, the faithful permitting neither food nor drink to pass their lips during the twenty-four hours terminating at sunset on Wednesday. The ceremonials attendant upon the cel- ebration of Yom Hakipurrim. will com- mence in the synagogues at sunset tomor- row evening. In Washington the fast will be inaugurated at 6 o'clock, with the spe- cial ritual, at the synagogue of the Wash- ington Hebrew congregation, on 8th street between H and I strects northwest. Rabbi Stern will preach, taking his text from Psalms—The Lord will give strength unto His people; the Lord will bless His People with peace.” The opportunity will be embraced by the pastor to Impress upon the congregation the necessity for building a new synagogue. All day Wednesday, be- ginning at 9 a. m., the ritual of the day will be continued, and a requiem will be sung In memory of the members of the con- gregation who died during the year. Simon Wolf will make an address at midday. Rabbi Stern will be assisted in the prayer service by B. Gusdorf, At Adas Israel Orthodox Synagogue ser- vices similar to those held at the Reform Synagogue, but without music, will be con- ducted by Rev. Isadore Samuels. “The Handsomest in the World.” In a recent address to the students of Spencerian College Mr, Veriten of Gondring & Verden’s Business College, in Chicago, said: “The Spencerian College of Wash- ington not only honored this city by the work of its students at the quadri-centen- nial exposition, but it carried off in triumph the prize of the exhipit—the handsome banks and offic that formed our equip- ment there. We all wanted them, but we were glad to see the only lacy president camture them for the capital. You may truly say that you have the handsomest business practice outfit in the world.” One hundred and fifty students applauded the speaker hvartily. —— The semi-annual inspection of the Chi- cago carriers and collectors in the Chicago postal service took place lay.

SOME CHANGES MADE The annual report of Freedman’s Hosp‘tal was submitted to the Commissioners today. After touching briefly upon the changes during the past year the report continu “The colored people of this country are Poor and their institutions are poor. Their poverty aids materially in lUmiting their knowledge of the laws of health as well as not permitting relief from suffering when attacked by sickness. As a result they are subjected, helplessly, to disease in its worst form. The busy practitioner here has no time to give them. They sicken and die without medical assistance. Some knowledge of the truth of this statement may be had by your consideration of table B. There it will be seen that a large num- ber die from simple neglect, and the first treatment in the majority of cases is re- ceived only after admission to the hos- pital. If it be remembered, also, that in this table is-included only a very small per cent even of our local sick, and that the same condition exists among them all over the country, we can better form some estimate of the very large number of their helpless and deserving sick and the de- mands for relief. It is here that the hu- mane element of the hospital broadens and its very great possibilities begin to be seen. The Work Natio: in Character. “The work has always been national in character; should be so continued, and both the direct and indirect relief of these suf- fering people should be made to ramify every part of our land. “Here we find the only opportunity for first-class clinical advantages offered col- cred medical students in the south. Here we have the only opportunity to build up @ national institution for the thorough training of the young colored women, es- pecially in the soith, for nurses. The col- ored people are indecd sadly in need of both the skilled physician and the careful, intelligent trained nurse. They should come from among their own people. While the Freedman’s Hospital does not limit its admission to colored people, all races being treated alike, yet it answers the above pur- pose in a way that no other institution in the country does, and probably never will. believe, therefore, that Congress should be urged to be liberal in her appropriation for this institution, “I regret to note that there is a dispo- sition to have the hospital saddled upon the District %f Columbia. 1 question both the wisdom and justice of this policy. The hospital, from its beginning, has been and still is a national institution. This is some- what indicated in table E, to which I invite your attention. This was so intended and should be so continued, as it broadens ma- terially the opportunity for doing good. But it is not just to the people of the District of Columbia to compel them to pay one- nalf of the expense, as patients are received here from all parts of the country and a large per cent of the soldier element. More- over, this transfer tends seriously to narrow the scope of the work done here and which can but result in serious detriment to the institution, Need of More Liberal Appropriations. “The need of a more liberal appropriation is very evident from our pay rolls. It is a matter of general comment from all who have occasion to notice the pay of our nurses and laborers that they are so poorly compensaied. Indeed, we have a large corps of laborers who receive no pay. This help is obtained only through the shrewd management of the hospital officials, from the ‘convalescent patients, and without which we wouid not be able to get along with the means allowed us by Congress. “I now come to another idea of which I have often thought. I believe that a pay ward to tne hospital should be permitted and its development encouraged. There are a large number of applicants whem pride will not allow to receive free treetment of this hospital. Their limited means will not permit treatment at home. They should be admitted and the fund from this source be placed with the proper disbursing official, “I must, also, call your attention to a con- dition of affairs at this institution, which borders almost upon criminal neglect. It is that none of the buildings on the grounds are connected. The patients who have to be carried from any of the eight wards to the administration building for operations, ex- aminations, &c., must be carried cn stretch- ers through the open ground in the winter sterms and cold and summer's heat without even the protection of a tree over them. The same condition ex- ists between the eight wards and the dining room, through which space the con- valescent patients must pass at meal times and meals be carried to the wards for pa- Uients confined to bed. Over their path- ways there Is no shelter or protection of any kind. I must urge an immediate ap- propriation for the humane object of con- necting these several buildings by covered alleys.” “The whole number of patients ad:nitted and treated in this hospital was 3,008, an increase of 382 over last year. number 57 were white and 2,429 colored. Of the white 451 were males and 128 fe- males. Of the colored 1,121 were males and iy females. In the dispensary attached Were prescribed for. The cases treated were surgical, medical and obstetrical. The number of surgical operations performed was 239." This report was made by Dr. Francis, in the absence of Dr. Williams. When the latter returned he called upon the Commis- sioners and made a supplemental oral re- port, during which he referred to a number of changes made and intended. With regard to the training school, which is to train colored women to take care of patients and to make them proficient in the science of nursing, he said these young ladies are especially fitted for that work. They must be able to read and write wel know something of arithmeti geography, history and algebra before they will take them, and that, with the training they get, makes them competent nurses. Throughout the country these colored w: men are in great demand. This 1s the only place, except in Chicago, where they edu- cate colored women as nurses, and Dr. Williams thinks this opportunity should not be lightly treated, but should be made as broad as possible. a Mar;land Horse Show. The all absurbing topic of conversation among Washington horse enthusiasts is the first annual exposition of the Maryland Horse Show Association, which takes place in Baltimore, November 5, lasting for five days. A large number of entries have al- ready been received, mary of which came from Washington, and applications for blanks are coming in from all parts of the country. Mr, Geo.W. Childs Drexel of Phila- delphia wrote for more entry blanks, and will send a number of horses to the show. The Elkridge Fox Hunting Club and the Green Spring Valley Hunt Club will be well represented in the various classes. The Chevy Chase Hunt Club are taking great interest in the coming event, and will undoubtedly have a large number of en. tries. The officers of the association ar Gov. Frank Brown, president; G. T. Ho; kins, jr., first vice president and treasure! William H. Bryant, second vice presiden Col. Robert Hough, secretary, Among the prominent Washingtonians jn the I'st of honorary vice presidents are Mr. Justin Butterfield and H. M. Earle. The prizes to be offered by the association aggregate over $6,000, and the entrance fee for any horse is $3. The membership fee ts $10, incind- ing gentleman and lady good for any exh bition during the year. The railroad com- panies have agreed to make special rates to Baltimore during the week of the show. eae Divorce Granted. In the divorce suit instituted by Lucy E. against Henry E.
