WAR VETERAN R SON, WHO SERV ON THE STAFF GENERAL SAM DURING THE R PIED A SEAT O Sunday afternoon at the Wendell Phillips High School, memorial services were held in honor of the late Rt. Rev. Bishop Samuel Fallows, and it was one of the most remarkable memorial services ever held in this city to honor the memory of any of its most distinguished citizens, about one-half of the large audience was composed of many of the most prominent white persons in this city, including both ladies and gentlemen, and they occupied seats on the platform and on the main floor right in among the colored people, and they all conducted themselves towards each other like unto real sisters and brothers, and as an evidence of that fact and the further fact that after all we are human beings and that the majority of highly educated and cultured people never permit race prejudice to enter their minds nor to sway them in their actions for with the greatest of case. Miss Alice Fallows, like her late father, Bishop Fallows, who was free from THE BROAD AX race prejudice, occupied a seat on the platform by the side of the writer, during the memorial services, and at its conclusion she heartily thanked us for the beautiful and impressive manner in which it was conducted and many of the other warm friends of the late Bishop Fallows, both white and colored, also thanked us on the orderly way every thing was carried out in connection with the memorial services, which will linger in the hearts of those who participated in them for many years to come. The following program was rendered on that sad and never to be forgotten occasion: PROGRAM Music, *Community Centre Choir; Invocation, Dr. W. D. Cook; Solo— "Ave Maria"—Kahn, Mme. M.

John Foster, Ph.B.B.D., Associate Rector St. Paul's Reformed Episcopal Church, the late Bishop Fallows' Church; Prof. J. Wesley Jones, Conductor of Music; Metropolitan Community Choir. The singing of the choir, which was so ably conducted by Prof. J. Wesley Jones, was ever so heart rendering and it almost wafted one right up on to heaven. The singing by the three soloists, Madam M. Callaway Byron, Miss Helen Townley and Miss O. G. Stone could not be surpassed and indeed it was a very rare musical treat to listen to their sweet voices. Madam Byron is a star of the first magnitude and her place is fixed as one of the greatest operatic singers that the colored race has so far produced. Through Hon. Patrick H. O'Donnell, a new rising star was presented to the audience in the person of Miss O. G. Stone, who possesses a sweet mellow voice, and she is bound to make a wonderful reputation for herself in the musical world. Aside from the array of brilliant orators, the following were among those who occupied seats on the platform: Hon. Patk. J. Carr, Treasurer of Cook County: Hon. Emmett Whealan. BISHOP SAMUEL FALLOWS 1835-1922 one of the best and most popular commissioners that Cook County has ever had; Rey. John W. Robinson; Pastor of St. Mark Church; Rev. C. N. Douglas; Rev. Emory S.

McDonough, member of the City Council from the 5th Ward; Hon. Thomas F. Byrne, member of the City Council from the 29th Ward; Rev. W. D. Cook; Comrade Tucker, who fought in the War of the Rebellion; Rev. John Foster. The following were some of the members and officers of Bishop Fallow's Church who were present: Mr. Arthur H. Robinson, S. W.; Mrs. Inez R. Deach, Jr., W.; Mr. Will Savage; Miss Louise Sheppard, and Rev. Foster, Associate Rector. Mr. M. T. Bailey, Mr. John N. Blackshear and Mr. Reese, assisted to seat the people as they entered the large lecture hall of the Wendell Phillips High School building. The Following Address By Julius F.

Rev. Bishop Samuel Fallows, who recently peacefully closed his eyes in death, at his home in this city. A city in which he had labored for more than fifty years, for its upbuilding and advancement; he was one of its monumental pillars in its civic, religious and educational development. He was one of the most distinguished many sided personages on the American continent. His breast was always full of the milk of human kindness for his fellow men, regardless of their race or their religious convictions. He was one of the greatest intellectual giants, that has so far been cast upon the shores of time; He was one of the rarest masterpieces or products of an all wise and merciful God. His fertile and ponderous brain, which never ceased from its activities enabled him to successfully labor in many lines of endeavor, at the same time assisting him to become a great pulpiter, university educator, a patrio- (Continued on Page 2) THE FOLLOWING TELEGRAMS AND LETTERS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES TELEGRAM THE WHITE HOUSE, September 5th, 1922.

I do not believe that anyone in Chicago had more respect and veneration for the late lamented Bishop than the undersigned. It would have been a real pleasure to me to be in attendance, but, unfortunately, I was obliged to be at some athletic exercises given in Cragin at exactly the hour of the memorial services. The athletic events had been arranged in my honor and my promise was of several weeks standing, so I could not very well set it aside.

BRILLIANT ORATIONS ON THE LATE BISHOP FALLOWS tic soldier, who gallantly fought in the war of the rebellion, for the freedom of the slaves and the preservation of the union He was an author and newspaper editor of great ability. His name richly deserves to be written in pure burnished gold, high up on the wall of the hall of fame, along by the side of the names of Abraham Lincoln who liberated more than four million slaves with one stroke of his mighty pen; the immortal Frederick Douglass, the matchless orator, diplomat and statesman who was one of the foremost leaders in the great anti-slavery struggle or movement in this country; the illustrious Charles Sumner, author of the civil rights bill; Henry Ward Beecher, the great anti-slavery clergyman; Wendell Phillips, the fiery and eloquent orator, who rocked this mighty nation to and fro, over the slavery question; William Lloyd Garrison, who was dragged through the streets of Boston, with a rope around his neck, for contending for the immediate emancipation of the slaves; last but not the least, E. P. Lovejoy, who lost his life for advocating through the columns of his little weekly newspaper, the liberation of four million slaves from the house of bondage. Bishop Fallows, who was a humanitarian in the broadest sense or meaning of that word, from the cradle to the grave, never faltered in his joyalty and out spoken friendship for the colored race. He presided over the great peace meeting held at Bethel church the first part of December 1906, shortly after the late United States Senator Benjamin R.

Dunne, at that time Governor of the great state of Illinois, selected Bishop Fallows, to serve as chairman of the Illinois Commission, which enabled the colored people in this state to celebrate their fifty years of freedom in 1915, which was further evidence of the undying friendship of Bishop Fallows, for the colored race. It was our great pleasure to be well acquainted with him and he possessed a charming personality, to such an extent that no one could refrain from falling in love with him. He always felt highly pleased to be regarded as one of the champions and uncompromising friends of the race of which the speaker is an humble member. In September, 1921, he was induced through our solicitation, to de- liver an address from this platform in the interest of the Fort Dearborn Hospital, and that was his last public address to the Colored people of Chicago. My kind and loving friends, I firmly believe, deep, down in the bottom of my warm and liberty loving heart; that when the angel of death summoned the Bishop Fallows, to move on up into a higher and better realm where he would, be free from all pain and sorrow, where he could continue his labors in behalf of a nobler and a greater humanity! That he was able to walk with a steady tread to the river of the dead; conscious of a work well done, conscious of a victory when overlasting fame, no stain will ever cling in the face of the king of the universe, and kindly soul repose in peace throughout eternity! Hon. Henry Horner Paid the Following Glowing Tribute to the Memory of Bishop Fallows: "Col. Taylor, his fellow citizens, and you gentlemen who have been so active in the public life of Chicago, after a comprehensive discussion of the high spots in the life of Bishop Fallows, there is very little to say for those you follow, and I am here as I know you are here, because you are one of the many thousands in Chicago who devotedly applauded the great work of Bishop Fallows, because you are one of the tens of thousands in this city and elsewhere, who sincerely lament his going; and thus we are gathered here for the expression of the most solemn of human impulse. We come to discuss some of the permanent and ever durable services of Bishop Fallows. A great American philosopher, Emerson, it was, who said, "We do not know how to praise our good men until they have departed." He says it is like praising the sun for keeping us warm, or the water for giving us nourishment, but when they are taken from us, then greatly do our sensibilities respond—when we realize how impossible it is to replace them; and so it is my friends, with the loss of Bishop Fallows; when the loss of Bishop Fallows came to us, it came as quietly and as ostentatiously as was his life. We began to open our eyes to the accomplishments of his, this great, this sincere patriot, and this good friend to all of you. You are asked to speak of his services to mankind, of his services to you, whatever your color, your religion, your creed, but the theme is too large to magnify in the period of a day. To discuss the life of Bishop Fallows within the period allotted to us this afternoon would, indeed be a difficult task, and the accomplishments of Bishop Fallows within the space of a whole afternoon would be like trying to cut down one of the Alabama Red trees with a pen-knife. The best that we can do is to say that we have talked about a man whose name has ever charmed a multitude, a name which CHICAGO, ILL. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1922 ought to create a world of enthusiasm, because it stands the highest limit of human service. América has lost a great citizen, the colored people of the city of Chicago have lost a true friend. He lived a long time and as he traveled along life's pathways, as he was nearing along the last stones that mark the last journey he then made a pillow on which to rest his head, to rest his burden, to sleep quietly, a sleep that kisses down his eyelids still; and although he lived more than the ordinary period allotted to mankind, he lived his life, and this brave gentleman, in every storm of life was a rock, and in the sunshine he was the vine and flower, and if every one in this whole community, to whom he rendered signal services, would bring just one flower, the good Bishop would be this afternoon sleeping beneath a wilderness of flowers. He was not a man to whom the militia appealed; he had higher inspirations, and other ambitions that could have been answered otherwise than battles, but when he saw the country in need of same, he answered it; but he did not remain as a soldier long; he was chief of the great army of the Republic; he was a national patriot; he always loved to give something in the nature of a sacrifice and before long he lead his regiments to victory after victory to the cause of human freedom—But did he stop there? No. Most men stop as soon as their purpose is gained; he went back and attended the chaplaincy to free men from the economic slavery, which is almost as bad as bondage slavery; his own life is the best eulogy. It has been suggested that we build a monument for him—it would be well to do so, not so much to please the dead; not so much to make his sleep more peaceful and profound, but for an example it might be well to build such a monument; but the truth is, his work needs no monument, for his epitaph is so carved in every human heart. His life is a song that will be sung by those who are tootring at the cradle, it will be sung and answered as long as tongue retains the gift of speech. The name of Bishop Fallows will not be diminished by time as others have been diminished, it will not be cheapened by familiarity, because honor does not decrease by contact, and truth is never out of tune. (Applause). ADDRESS BY ATTORNEY WAL TER M. FARMER "I wish to thank you for this privilege of paying a simple tribute of respect to the memory of this great and good man who 'went about doing good'—Bishop Fallows. I wish to call your attention to that beautiful story of Jean Ingelow's 'Star Monument,' as fitting by illustrating our estimate of Bishop Fallows; the great astronomer was seen sweeping the haeens with his telescope in nervous anxiety; then he would drop his head in sorrow and disappointment; the multitude noticing his great distress and sorrow, asked. 'What is the matter?'—again the astronomer swept the skies with his telescope, and, looking up, said, 'O, Sire, a light is quenched an ear. Look up my Masters, we've lost a star.' But, said the multitude, 'Sweep the skies again and you will see there remains myriads of stars.' The old astronomer shook his head and said, 'But, Sires, while this star lived, it shone.' I do not know that there could be a more apt and appropriate description, a more eloquent tribute paid to the dead or a more fitting monument erected than the one projected by Jean Ingelow to the lost star. Bishop Fallows was a Minister of the gospel. He believed in the fatherhood of God, and the brotherhood of man, not simply in the pulpit where often ministers proclaim this doctrine without meaning it; but in the broader affairs of life, where ambitions antagonize, aspirations clash, and struggling humanity contend for right and Justice. For him there was no creed, no race. No sects distinction stopped him in his great career in doing good to mankind. Every race, every creed; every one who needed sympathy, every one who needed aid and encouragement claimed kindred with this great man, and had his claim allowed. Bishop Fallows represented a class of great men that is fast passing; he stood almost alone. He believed in the teachings of Jesus Christ, not simply in flights of fancy or bursts of eloquence, but as a practical religion to be lived and acted in daily life. As a Minister he stands with Theodore Parker, Henry Ward Beecher. He believed that the unfortunate colored people were entitled to the same consideration that all other men are entitled to; that all men are born equal, as defined in the Declaration of Independence. He was a patriot. His patriotic warmth was as fervent as that well-known toast, "Our Country always right, but right or wrong, our Country.' Bishop Fallows, however, when his country was wrong, set about to make it right, and that is the kind of patriotism we want today. He believed that the Declaration of Independence meant something. He believed in the freedom of Man and that every citizen should stand before the law on the same footing. He was a brave soldier; and offered his life for the preservation of the Union, that all men might be free; He believed in human liberty; it mattered not what the race or creed of people might be, he stood for human liberty. I have never forgotten the day we called upon him to join us at a meeting in 1906, how willing he was, and how ready he was to come to that meeting to lend his voice in protest and denunciation of that group of men whose highest ambition is to attract attention by an attack on an other man because of his race or because of his creed; and he delivered one of the most wonderful addresses on that occasion. He was a great man; a great friend, he was our friend, and the friend of every man and woman who needed assistance. It is for us, therefore, who are now living to cherish his memory. We who are left behind, td show how we appreciate the life and deeds of this great man. We do not always appreciate our great and good men while they are living, while they are doing something to uplift, something to cheer humanity, we take it as a matter of course; but when they leave us and there is nothing left but a memory we begin to cherish them more and more. We then learn to take inspiration from the— "For great men grow greater with lapse of time. We know those least whom we have seen latest And they among those whose lives have grown sublime. Who work for human liberty are the greatest." (Applause.) BRILLIANT ORATION ON BISHOP SAMUEL FALLOWS, DECEASED Metropolitan Community Center September 24, 1922. Hon. James G. Cotter, Assistant U. S. District Attorney. When the parents of Samuel Fallows, in 1848, changed their place of habitation, the British Empire lost one of her most magnificent products, and America gained one of her most valuable acquisitions. Samuel Fallows, born and reared in an atmosphere of freedom, believed in his heart that slavery was wrong, and his convictions against it became so strong that he shouldered a musket and took his place in the front ranks of the Union forces under Old Glory, against slavery and for the preservation of the Union. When the war was over and the shackles had been stricken from four millions of weary limbs, he devoted himself to his own education to the end that the nation soon knew him as a great orator and educator, philosopher and soldier, eminent prelate and man of letters. His mind was so well developed that he was able to carry on successfully a multitude of enterprises at one and the same time. He afterwards began to apply his superior talents to the service of his fellowman, and out of his great heart of hearts there went sympathy, and from his warm hands, succor and assistance to every worthy individual, cause or institution that sought his aid. I have said that he hated slavery Well, when he was called upon some years ago by the Honorable Edward F. Dunne, then Governor' of this State, to serve as chairman of the Commission appointed to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Negro Freedom in America, he responded to that call just as he did back yonder in the sixties to the bugle call of war; and, through his matchless devotion and ceaseless efforts this Exposition was, perhaps, the greatest of the kind this country has ever seen. The story of his labors in connection with this work may best be told by others who honor us with their presence and who are here to give their own testimony concerning the worth and character of this great man. It was while he was serving on the Illinois Commission that your humble servant came in contact with him, and received from him many words of hope, and inspiration. It was there I obtained my first fleeting glimpse of his transcendent greatness. It was there his true character was fully revealed. I have said he hated slavery. Well, he hated the ghost of slavery, and the last and, perhaps, most notable service he ever rendered in this life was when he made open and public denunciation of that vicious institution known as the Ku Klux, Klan, which was and is, indeed, the ghost of slavery. As chairman of the American Unity League, his action against this organization was so salutary in its moral effect, that other leaders throughout the land, more or less prominent than he, have emulated his high example and taken up arms against this collosal evil. Such was his courage that had he lived, the Ku Klux Klan would have felt, and continued to feel, the heavy weight of his strong right arm, because, when he put his hand to the plow, he never looked back. But, my friends, nature has done her work and Samuel! Fallows has been called to his long reward. Even did time permit, words are inadequate to express the emotion we feel in our hearts on account of his passing away. But he has so lived that his soul has heeded the admonition of the sainted poet, Oliver Wendell Holmes, who sang: 2 HON. JAMES G. COTTER Assistant United States District District of Illinois; Who De Oration on the Late Bishop Phillips High School Sunda Assistant United States District Attorney, for the Northern District of Illinois; Who Delivered an Eloquent and Logical Oration on the Late Bishop Samuel Fallows, at the Wendell Phillips High School Sunday Afternoon, September 24.

O'Donnell Delivered the Following Eloquent Oration Let each new temple more noble than the last Shut thee from Heaven with a domo more vast 'Till thou at length art free. Leaving tine outgrown shell by life's unchanging sea." Bishop Fallows, in body, is dead, but his soul still lives today and goes marching bravely on. His memory is an heritage for the generations yet to come, and his illustrious example will be the inspiration and the hope of the oppressed throughout the earth; and, when men of any particular group, race, class or creed, while placing flowers upon his bier shall attempt to claim him as their own, the Muse of History throughout the eternal ages will forever chant these words: "He belongs to no race, no creed, to no class, but to Humanity." In his passing away, his beloved and bereaved family have lost a most devoted head; the Clergy and the City of Chicago, one of its most eminent divines and worthy sons. Illinois is bereft of one of her most distinguished citizens, while the Flag of this grand Republic has lost one of her foremost and most valiant defenders. The constitution of our country, one of its ablest supporters, and human liberty has lost one of its most powerful champions. I know not what epitaph may now be written upon his tomb, but if I were asked to write it, I would indicate these words: "Here lies Samuel Fallows, Bene factor of mankind." 7 HON. PATRICK J.

Hon. Patrick H. O'Donnell Delivered the Following Eloquent Oration at the Memorial Exercises in Honor of the Memory of the Late Bishop Fallows: "Ladies and gentlemen, if I did but one thing I think you would say that I served you well this evening, if I made no speech. Mr. Taylor was telling you the truth when he told you the story of Miss Stone. I have preached in many colored pulpits and it has always been be loyal to each other—you people, help yourselves—promote your own people—and I want to make an illustration this evening of what I meant.

He was not underst the people generally. He moved in his own sphere, and it was not well known. No man who attracts public attention and seeks public praise, no man who is seeking public honor and public notoriety, can ever be a great American citizen. It is necessary in this country or elsewhere the country is made great by the lifting of the lowly; where the strength of the weak should raise out of the strength of the people; where the master of freedom must march in the ranks of the poor; it is the man who understands M. ight Treasurer of Cook County e Mat With All the Ku Klux Mr. Carr and His Great Army that He Is Bound to Be Elected position in November.

Lately Mr. Lawley Secured the Appointment of Miss Gertrude Brown, a Bright and Intelligent Young Colored Woman to a Position in the Rooms of the Board of Review of Cook County. that and leads those people, that are the real American citizens. Bishop Fallows never sought lordiness; he never sought public praise; if he did he would never have met the people he met; he would have never inspired the people he inspired and caused them to advance in Americanism and in right living. A leader must be among God's people; a Chieftain cannot desert his army, and Bishop Fallows knew, because he first saw his American activities in the days when statesmen knew that country could not live and could not become great except free—great and free, great and glorious, and that words were written in life's book that all men are free and knew that that great truth could not be written except with the blessing of a million men, and therefore on eternal truth in America. A gentleman on the platform, Rev E. L. Williams told me a little story in my office yesterday; and I am afraid that they are not going to let him speak; he was going to leave the platform a few minutes ago, and when he was leaving he left his best wishes with us, and knowing that I was to be the next speaker, said to me in a fow tone of voice: "How long, O, Lord, how long?" (Laughter), and with that, got up and left me. Bishop Fallows was a religious educator. I have heard a text of scripture that applied to that churchman's life exactly. It was the story of the prominent guest taking his seat at the foot of the table. Bishop Fallows always sought the lowest seat, because it was ```markdown ``` A. HON. WALTER M.

Election As a Turstee of the go, Owing to the Splendid and he Has Made in His Present Positction on Tuesday, November 7. at the Appointment of Miss Gert-intelligent Young Colored Womoms of the Board of Review of there where the work was always to be done and the example always set. It was generally supposed that he was a pacifist, a man who attempted to go through life most easily; but it was not true. He departed from these channels, that he might seize the sword of righteousness, and rode through battles that his brother might be freed, and he did not lay down the sword until the battles were won, and the men for whom he struggled had seen the light of freedom's day, and preached the speech that free men should hear, because there was no peace where there is slavery and prejudice. As I started to say, the story was told by Rev. Williams in my office, it was that a party went to the Latin University, and the singers sang a song (not like this choir sings, sweet and soft), but they sang in the beauty of the Lily, peace was born, and when they got through, one of the parties stepped in front and said: "Now we will sing in the beauty of the Lily Christ was born across the sea, and if he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free!" (Applause). That was the spirit of the father of this great girl on the platform. He knew that the Almighty never made any man to stop the road—to bar the road of progress to any of God's people. He knew as well as Wendell Phillips knew, that hatred against the people, prejudice against the people are more weighty than the chains of slavery. (Applause, and so knowing it, he spent his last fifty years, taking the for- THE BEST MAN IN THE WORLD Prominent Lawyers Residing in Eloquent Address on the Career at the Wendell Phillips Highon.

(Applause'. When a race is coming into its own its first impulse to carry them on to their achievement is that they get into the ranks and march in the battles they must meet, and to march on and on, and it largely rests upon the shoulders of the teachers and philosophers among that race, but there is another influence besides the teachers and philosophers—it is the white man on the brim of the hill with his face turned toward you—the white man is calling you, we are calling you leaders, calling you and encouraging you to come on—come on, saying to you, there is a place beside us for you, there is room here, there is hope here for you when you reach the plane (applause). You have lost a friend, the City of Chicago has lost a great man, the family lost a great father—those ashes of his, the ashes of a mighty man, and from the urn of Bishop Fallows, he will inspire other men like himself, touch their lips as with a living coal, prompt them to walk his ways, and to achieve his destinies—he had done his work well. He sat at the lowest seat until the Master spoke, and then he has taken his place, and while we are here we hope and pray, and believe that the light of the eternal throne is shining upon the splendid man whose memory we have got. (Applause.) Rev. Edward J. Sonne, Pastor of Trinity Reformed Ep'scopal Church, Paid the Following Tribute to the Memory of Bishop Fallows: I fully agree with what Judge Horner has just stated regarding our Beloved Bishop and his interest in other races and creeds. He was further correct when he stated that it was impossible to do justice to such a great life in a brief address or in the course of making a few remarks. I do not feel that I can add anything to the just, discriminating and heartfelt words that have been uttered by my good friends here this afternoon who knew Bishop Fallows so well and to whom he was a true friend and advisor. Yet I am glad to be here this afternoon as a clergyman of the Reformed Episcopal Church who knew Bishop Fallows intimately, who loved him and who was closely associated with him for many years. I am also pleased to testify before you Colored Brethren that Bishop Fallows loved and was interested in the welfare of the Colored race. The Reformed Episcopal Church, over which he presided for so many years, was one of the first if not the first to give to the colored man his full ecclesiastical rights and recognition. He was even proud of the fact that the best cotton producers in the world were Reformed Episcopalians. The Bishop was not only interested in the liberating of the slaves in 1861-1864 but he had fought the good fight of faith under the banner of the Cross trying to liberate all men from the bondage of Sin and Satan through the blood of Jesus Christ. "He held the lamp each Sabbath day so low in the darkness that it would see you, yet so high to bring in sight. That picture fair of the lamp is bright. The hand that held it the lamp between. The hand that held it was not seen. He blew the trumpet, soft and clear, That trembling sinner need fear, Then the drum note and bold To seize the walls of Satan's hold; The trumpet coming thus between The hands that held it it will not seen. And then our Captain says, "Well done, Thou good and faithful servant, come! Lay down the pitcher and take it, Lay down the pitcher and leave the camp, Thy wary hands will then be seen Chasped in His pierced ones; nought between." MEMORIAL SERVICES HELD IN HONOR OF BISHOP SAMUEL FALLOWS Sunday, September 24, 1922, at 3:00 P. M. at Wendell Phillips High School WHEREAS, It has pleased God to call from labor to reward, Bishop Samuel Fallows, who departed this life on the 8th day of September, A. D. 1922 AND WHEREAS, Because of his humanitarian principles and his love of labor in behalf of the poor and needy, he was one of the best-known and best loved men of the many active in public service. No gathering for public good or those in distress and need was complete without the presence and counsel of Bishop Fallow. While every race, creed and group claimed his attention and beneficence he was especially interested in the progress and development of the Colored people in this country, and never refused to become associated in their activities. His advice and counsel was appreciated by the Colored people and served as an impetus to greater endeavor on their part. His patriotism and love of human liberty prompted him to enter the Union forces in 1861 and there offer up his life that all men everywhere might be free. After giving his services to his country and seeing Union and Liberty triumphant, he devoted the remainder of his useful life in the cause of humanity without respect to race, creed or color. His life was one of service and devotion to his exalted ideals, and while modest in bearing, he had the moral courage to stand for the right, though he stood alone. Crossing the Bar And may there be no moaning of the bar But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and form, When that which drew from out the boundless deen Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark!

O'Malley passed away at his late home, 5518 Gladys avenue. He had been connected with the Chicago Post Office for more than 35 years, and during that time he held many important positions in it. Mr. O'Malley was born in Westershire, England, in 1861, coming to America when a boy of 9. His parents first settled in Dunmore, Pa., but forty-two years ago he came to Chicago. He entered the postoffice service in 1887 and at the time of his death was assistant superintendent of mails. Among other positions he held was that of assistant superintendent of deliveries. "Mr. O'Malley was one of the most practical men in the department," said Assistant Postmaster McGrath, "and his place will be hard to fill. We are going to miss him here." In the course of his service Mr. O'Malley found it necessary to learn several foreign languages and during the war he gave valuable service in translating foreign correspondence. He was buried from the late residence Friday morning with interment at Mount Carmel cemetery. A son, John, and a daughter, Margaret, survive. Mr. O'Malley always conducted himself like a highly polished gentleman, and he always commanded the highest respect of every person connected with the Chicago Post Office, and he had a large circle of warm friends who mourn his death. ```markdown ``` ATOR OF CHICAGO; DELIVI ION AT THE MEMORIAL EX THE LATE BISHOP SAMUEL ea PS Bie te ee ek. a ‘Be More Beautiful ‘Remarkable Preparation Makes k Easy for to Grow Lang, Soh, Baty, Looty Phe eect lee otrehticents ester te se see ae SS ee EXELENTO QUININE POMADE rs, misccc sta ae peeams Eisele = ES eee eos prerelease Root k Eee eae ee EXELENTO MEDICINE COMPANY, Atlanta, Ga.
