Secretary Vitas said: "Independently of hie gifts of intellect, his graces of speech, awl his public serviess, the qualities which commonly excite admiration and attract follower*, Senator Conkling deserves to live long in the grateful memory of his countrymen for the lofty Integrity and purity of his official life and character. A dominating spirit during a period where many instances of peculation and jobbing occurred, no one ever fixed upon any imputation at personal advantage arising from his performance of public service. He served the public, and not himself, while in publlo office, and though such fidelity be, like a soldier's courage, demanded of everyone, its conspicuous manifestation should receive recognition and gratitude."

While the remains of the departed statesman lay peacefully in death the sorrowing widow and daughter sought relief In sleep. Mia.

Bhe was holding the nerveless and cold hand of her devoted father whsn he passed away Whsn the faint pulsation of the fluttering heart ceased, the daughter, still kneeling, placed the hand she held reverently upon her father's breast, kissed It affectionately, pressed bsr lips in silence to his brow awl hurried to her mother's ski*.

While the undertakers were engaged with their task they noted the fact that, despite the deceased's long and wearing illness, he bad chanced very little in his personal appearance. Senator Conk ling was a man of Lugo frame and good flesh, and his features •nd form had lost little of their old time robust appearance. The lines of pain and 4isea» usually so apparent in one who has suffered so much were not visible in the peaceful face of the dead statesman. His headwas slightly turned to give an exposure of tbs right side and hide the scars left by the operation of the surgeons behind tha left ear. Am Mr. Conkling lay silently in his casket he differed but slightly in appearance from the figure which, until a few days ago, was st famlltor ufon the streets of the city.
