THE LAST RITES.

The Funeral of Maurice Thompson Takes Place Last Monday at the Home.

The funeral of Maurice Thompson took place last Monday at the family homo, "Sherwood Place," on east Pike street, and was attended by a large concourse of people. There were quite a number of people present from out of the city, and a large representation of the local G. A. R. who, although Mr. Thompson was a confederate soldier, attested their esteem for him by attending both the services at the house and at the cemetery. The casket was placed in the archway between the parlors and banked about it were the floral offerings from Mr. Thompson's friends and admirers, the tributes being numerous and especially beautiful. Conspicuous among them was the offering of the city of Vincennes. A great bunch of American beauty roses from the editors of the New York Independent,i a floral badge from the Phi

Gamma Delta fraternity, and several handsome designs from the far south were alto prominent. Upon the casket a silk flag was placed by the order of the Sons of the Revolution, a committee composed of Rev. Philputt, Mr. B-own and Jesse Tarkington bringing it from Indianapolis. The ceremony was short and simple and during its progress the family sat in the hall above. Dr. W. P. Kane, president of Wabash college, officiated, and the service was opened with an invocation. The Center church quartette then sang, "Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me," Dr. Kane reading scriptual selections upon the conclusion of the song. After the reading "Jesus, Lover of My Soul" was sung and Dr. Kane delivered the following address: "The removal from this earthly life of James Maurice Thompson has brought a sense of bereavement and loss that has been far-reaching and varied. For weeks while he kept up his brave fight against the inevitable there was universal and profoundly affectionate interest and solicitude. Within the few days that have elapsed since the end came I hsve- been impressed by the widespread and sincere expressions of sorrow and of appreciation from all classes. It is not indeed unusual when a man of prominence passes away to have kindly words about, him printed and poken. In most cases, however, it is easy to distinguish between the real heartfelt expression and a perfunctory regard for the maxim that only kind words shall be spoken of the dead. "What has impressed me about these expressions of esteem and of grief has been their unmistakable ring I genuineness. And it is not strange that it should be so. In this, as in other matters, it is true that "like begets like."

It is the natural response which a profoundly genuine life calls forth by its touch upon other lives. "It was not my privilege to know Mr. Thompson intimately but even casual acquaintance was enough to discover that quality of genuineness which pervaded his whole thought and manner. No one, I think, could listen to him in an add ress or read an article from his pen without being touched by the moral earnestness and honesty of his nature. Whatever he had to say was for a purpose and not simply for effect. There was not even the suspicion of a false tone or an assumed zeal about him. He would not profess what he did not believe nor would he conceal an hone3t conviction that needed to be spoken. Whether right or wrong he was true to his own sense of right. What was true of his mind was equally true of his manner. His very presence impressed you with the genuineness of his manhood. It is a great testimony to be able to stand by a man's casket when his work is done and say of him that in all the relations of his life he was transparently and unvaryingly genuine. "More than that, however, needs, in justice, to be said of Mr Thompson. Not only was his life transparently genuine, but it was a genuineness linked with high ideals and lofty standards. It is possible for a man to be genuine and still order his nfe

up0n

plane. Some very genuine men are also very petty and narrow in their range. The very opposite was true of Mr. Thompson. He possessed an intellectual nature keyed to fino moral sensibilities. He had lofty ideals and he held himself to them strongly and steadily. In all his literary work he saw and wrote from an exalted standpoint. Upon all questions having moral bearings you knew to a certainty upon which side he would be found. I cannot claim to be familiar with all his writings yet from the inherent quality of the man I venture the claim that no single line from his voluminous and

varied productions can be produced that will not stand the severest tost of high moral vision and aim. Recently one who had known him intimately all his life said of him: "He was the noblest, purest miuded man 1 ever knew." That, without the line intellectual endowment he possessed, would not have given him the rank he has taken, but linked with intellectual strength it was no small factor in successful achievement. After all the quality of a man's being tinds its way into his work and fixes its stamp upon it. There are those who contend Lhat personal character must not be considered iu connection with men who render public service and that to raise such a question is an offensive obtrusion. But the question does not wait to be raised. It thrusts itself upon us.

Every man reiiects. and in a measure reproduces himself in what he creates, whether in literature, art, or statesmanship. The first essential of a true, healthful literature is that it be the product of a mind dominated by noble vision and purpose. "Mr. Thompson was a man of positive convictions. With the moral earnestness that possessed him it could not have been otherwise. He thought for himself, reached his own conclusions, and never lacked courage and force in urging and maintaining them. He did not hesitate to take issue with any party or cause whose course he believed to be wrong or dangerous. And yet he was never offensive or obtrusive in his positiveness. His scholarly tastes and studious habits inclined him toward a life of retirement rather than publicity, yet among those who were privileged to know him he was greatly esteemed for his rare companionship. "In his removal not only our city but our state loses one of its most distinguished citizens the realm of letters one of its most industrious and honored members, and our country a sincere and devoted patriot. In our sense of loss, however, we may not, and should not fail to be profoundly grateful that such a life, with its noble ideals, has teen lived among us and leaves behind it abiding treasure and inspiration."

The services concluded with the rendition of "Rock of Ages'' by the quartette and the benediction. Immediately after the service the body was taken to Oak Hill for interment. The pallbearers were Capt. W. P. Herron, Prof. C. A. Tuttie, H. 11. Ristine, Benjamin Crane, Dr. C. L. Thomas and J. A. Greene. The llower bearers were Miss Helen Thomas, Mrs. J. A. Greene, Misses Jessie and Florence Herron. At the grave the service was brief and impressive. The mound of earth was completely hidden by evergreen from the trees on the lawn of "Sherwood Place," and the sprigs deposited in the grave by the soldiers after the lowering of the casket were from the same place. Upon the conclusion of the ceremony the bugler sounded "taps," and the earthly tabernacle of Maurice Thompson was committed to the dust from which it was first created.

The following beautiful poem written by Will H. Thompson was published in September, 1895, in The Century:

"TOGETHER AGAINST THE STREAM."

In a sea of pines, deep-voiced like Homei. Where Wind, the roumer, His trumpets blew, ARray house stood by a river lonely,

Where lilies only In armies grew.

And two slim boys, with brown liair blowing.' In south winds, (lowing V. .' As through a dream, In a boat as frail as a curled gray feather, l'ulledhard together

Against the stream.

The slave's voice moaned through the fields of cotton A hope-forgotten

Soul's distress,

a low

While music of mockers, from green thrones pouring, j, Thrilled the adoring

Wilderness.

And the bondman's moan and the bird-soaps ever Kolled, like the river,

Across their dreain,

As two strong youths, in the glad .lime weather, Pulled hard together Against the stream.

And once, in their dreaming, the land asunder Was riven with thunder And battle's jar: And banners, where rivers of blood were gushing,

Waved in the rushing Winds of war.

Ah, few were the stars (and lost their glorv. And strange the story, And dim the. dream I) On that young flag that, in war's wild weather,

They bore together Against the stream.

The voice of Alice was low anil tender. And pools of splendor Were Ida's eves, And clearer than freedoin they found, and hotter

The old sweet fetter Of paradise.

And passionate hearts, fashioned only for roaming, In love's soft gloaming

Were lured to tlream

And bound to the boat with a golden tether, They pulled together Against the stream.

The two lr. a boat, in a wide stream yonder (Olderand fonder And stronger now), Laugh at the winds and the groat waves roaring.

Mightily oaring. With lifted prow!

They cry to the shins in the tempest rocking. Merrily mocking Tlie eagle's scream, And up through the breast of the stormy weather,

Pull hard together Against the stream

The bout is old, but its sides nre oitkeu, And still unbroken a it 5 The M»rms are (lend, and lite groal \vnvcsi'

PROM VINCENNES.

(ironic oml ti Delegation Arrive a a 1 hompson.

Last, Monday Mayor George K, Greene and Councilmen G. E. Gardner and Avers J. Taylor, of Vincennes, arrived in tho city to attend the funeral of Maurice Thompson, bringing with them the handsome Moral tribute pre sented by the city of Vincennes. The design a representation of the old fort Sackvillc and blockhouse a.s pictured in Mr. Thompson's famous novel. On the base of the design is the inscription in llowers, "Alice, of Old Vincennes.'' The design is a very large one, being three feet by two and a half and is very artistically executed. (Over five thousand llowers and one thousand fern leaves were employed iu its construction and Sunday at Vincennes thousands of people visited the green houses of the florist who made it to view the handsome memorial. Mayor

Greene said last. Monday: "The people of Vincennes feel that they owe much to Mr. Thompson and we feel a personal bereavement in his death. Naturally his novel is immensely popular in our city but we think that all Indiana should take a pride in a work which reflects so much credit on the stale.

TO CLEAR THE COMPLEXION OF

an extended and pleas

ing tribute to the memory of Maurice Thompson. Among other things ho says of Mr. Thompsou: "Well litted for society, bright, genial, pleasant in manner, a conversationist who knew a world full, and had it all at tongue's end, he yet shut himself in against the social world, blind and deaf to its every blandishment. -He preferred his home to anybody else's home his books to gossip despising fashion and scandal, he kept away from them, and was never so contented as when at work in the midst of his family for such was his schooling that when he had an idea, whether it was a critique for the independent or a book of his own, it made no difference to him if the elaboration was with the kottle singing on the stove or the family in discussion across his table—not even if Claude were drawing its worst villainies of sound from a violin. lie felt the soft, sweet, satisfying presence of his wife and children about him, even while he saw nothing but the work actually engaging him, the heroine he was painting with his pen, or the book he was reading, and its author behind it—Shakespeare, Scott, Hugo, or Theocritus. "Indeed, indeed, it will be long before I realize that Maurice Thompson is dead—not merely because he was poet, romancist, critic, philosopher, man of material affairs, associate, friend. There has been a little coterie of men and women welded together in a patriotism not entirely appreciated, and working ever so deftly and successfully to lift Indiana out of the depths, and set her high up in the world of literature and Maurice Thompson was one of the coterie. The work will go on without him, but his trenchant pen, clear intellect and brave heart—thom we will miss, and pray for, as the years sro by, the battle still in progress.} "Yes, it will be hard for me to realize that he is dead.''

An Odd Case.

Last Saturday before Judge VVe&t Mrs. Mary Price asked to have a guardian appointed for her daughter Hortense. who by the death of her father, William Price, came into an estate valued at $12,000. The girl is regarded as incompetent to care for her own business and it is feared that she will wed a young man who has been very attentive to her. She has made no objection to having the guardian appointed.
