It is a healthy and not un healthy sijrn io see activity and earn estness everywhere in the party. Dif ferences of opinion are natural both with regard to candidates and issues. I think, •however, as the days jfo on, that these gentlemen who oppose Mr. Hill because he is Mr. Mill will support him because he is the leader of the tick et chosen by the representatives of the part. This is a life and death struyole for the democratic party. If we lose this election, we cannot hope to succeed in carrying the legislature for twenty years to come. “If there is no hope of carrying the legislature, the party organization will jfo to pices. Mr. Hill is at best only a passing figure in p<dities. likt* every other pit hi ie man. The party jjoes on forever, t'andolates come and (fo; th*• party is ffrenter than the man. be sides. opposition to Mr. Mil! now is like dissatisfaction on the part of a few soldiers on the tield of battle to their general. They may not have wanted him as leader, but the fact remains that he Is the regularly appointed leader and tin 1 army he Is leading Is facing the enemy in a deadly struggle. “I have a high regard for Mr. Whee ler and his friends, but I have a higher regard for loyal democrats who would rather injure the .'omiuon enemy than help destroy their own party. "The next two weeks will soften Un feeling of opposition and bring better feeling." THREATEN LEXOW WITNESSES. founurl liofT I'rim!tlci-H Kvlilcnce to Show That Thoftc Who Test if > are in Ihinger.

During the resell,• the llames eatile up the air course and hurtled the fitn house and the fire department wa called into ser vice. Miperiiiteiident Morris Williams and Mine Inspector Edward Hrettnan heroically entered the burning mine to seek for lost or exhausted men. At 5 o'clock Irvin Gullingion was found dead.

Boston, October in. -The remains of Dr Oliver Wendell Holmes were laid to rest in the Jackson lot at Mount Au burn this afternoon. The funeral ser vices were held at King's Chapel and conducted in a beautiful and touching manner by Dr. Edward Everett Hale, a life long friend of !>r. Holmes. The pall bearers wen: members of the family. Hrief Sketch of His I.lfe. The death of Dr. Holmes has closed many careers in one end. His versa tility was such that one hesitates whether to speak first of the man of society, or the literary wit. or the prac titioner, or the novelist, or the poet. This diversity sprang- rather from the different employments to w hich he put his mind than from the various rich ness of natural genius. It was in some degree the product of the influences of the city, which operate upon men of education to bring out their wholeoa- paeity. He xvas from his breeding both academic and urban; and he carried out to tin-end the early aims ami am bitions which thrive in the centres of learning and society. He was one of that rare class of mind.* to which their environments is not a limitation. He harmonized with the conditions of liv ing into which he was born. The identity between himself, as a literary personality, and Huston was the largest part of his good fortune. He was that best sort of a representative of his city, a growth out of its previous society, traditions, and prejudices. It would he unjust to refer to him now solely or mainly as a poet. He succeeded quite ns xv,-11 in the use of his other talents, and these helped largely in establish ing the reputation of his later days. '] he scientific element, even in his books, is a constant quantity: it colors his novels and often gives glow to his stanzas, and iu his printed conversa tions over tiie table it is ever at hand for illustration. His wit. too. and those felicities of which lie learned the secret in private talk w ith his friends, an* in gredients never lucking, lie must be regarded its poet, professor, and auto crat at once, if one would have a rounded conception of him. and under stand what sort of personal power in him it was that extended a local repu tation over :i cont in*-iit. I*r,-sl,n-ut Glint t'* Trill,It**. 1‘resident Eliot, **i Harvard college, speaking of tIt,- late l>r. Oliver Wendell Holmes, said : “His connection with Harvard was through thi* medical .sehool. IG- never taught literature or gave any lessons on literature. He taught at the Har vard medical sehool for thirtv-live years, where he was proti-ssor of anat omy and physiology, teaching also his tology iind microscopy. "Dr Holmes was* a hard and faithful worker, and one of the brightest men that ever lectured at the medieal school. He did ,-i great den! to make th*- school what it is. He lectured regularly live times a week throughout the school year, and never failed to b,- on hand. If,- was the most careful of men in pre* pa ration of his lecture-, and very pains* taking in his exp- riinenls. II-- was very exact in dissection." ‘‘Dr. Holmes great,—t contribution, to the world's medical know l*--ige was the discovery of the fact that puerperal fever is contagious. He contended so- for years, and met with all sortsof ridicule. It i> now **t ,-ottrse an axiom of itiedn-ai know ledge. I.one,* heard Dr. Osier, iff Galtiinorc. siy that this is one- of the greatest contributions that a New England physician ever made to- medical science." TO PROTECT THEIR SUBJECTS.
