NATION MOURNING

Venerable and Beloved Preacher,
Author and Philanthropist
Close Earthly Career.
Had Been for Three Quarter of a
Century a Distinguished Figure
Throughout the United States
and Foreign Land, Hia Name
Being a Houaehold Word.
Boston Rev. Edward Everett Hale,
D. D., chaplain of the United States
senate. Cnltarlan divine, philanthro
pist, author, journalist and lover Of
peace, breathed his last as the morn
ing light was breaking on Thursday,
June 10. at his h ime In Roxbury.
On his return from Washington a
few weeks ago. It was reported that
Dr. Hale was not In good health, but
he soon regained his activities and,
until Tuesday, attended meetings and
recleved friends.
It seemed as If the whole country
joined in mourning the loss of Dr.
Hale. Messages expressing sorrow
and esteem poured into the Hale
household, one of the first being from
President and Mrs. Taft.
Por three-quarters of a century and
more Dr. Hale had been a distin
guished figure throughout the United
States and In foreign lands. Literary
work and a remarkably effective
"Lend a llnnd society," which he or
igina'.ed, mad' his name a household
word even In far countries.
Dr. Hale's literary career began un
usually early, for six years after his
birth he was studying Latin under the
direction of his fathet. Rev. Nathan
Hale. His studies were continued at
the Boston I.atln school and at Har
vard college.
Besides being a preacher. Rev. Na
than Hale was a printer, and in his
office the son Kdward learned type
setting and developed a leaning to
wards newspaper work, which during
his college course at Harvard, he cul
tivated by becoming a rejiorter on the
Boston Advertiser. In later years, al
though he had elected to follow his
father's calling as a clergyman of tho
Unitarian faltn. he became editor of
the Advertiser, occupying the chair at
the time of the civil war. Dr. Hale's
pastorate at Worchester over the
Church of Unity, followed service wllh
a number of smaller churches. The
South Congregational church of Bos
ton became Dr. Hale's ministerial
home in 186B. Since 18 Dr. Halo
has been pastor emeritus of the
parish.
As Dr. Hale's age advanced, his
friends delighted to celebrate his
birthdays Especially noteworthy
were the occasion of his seventieth
and eightieth anniversaries, at both
of which public meetings were held.
In 1892 a purse of $6,000 was given,
while in 1902 a fund of $28,000 was
raised.

Angeles, and expected to sail for his
home In Korea on the next steamer
bound for the Orient. Wha is be
lieved to have been Insane.
Montana Court Valuea Life at Fifteen
Thousand Dollars.
Helena, Mont. Holding that the
damages awarded Mis. C. O. Young
against the Helena Light & Railway
company for the death of her hus
band, who wa run down by a Helena

the supreme court cut tne award from
$40,000 to $15,000. Unless this re

a new trial Is ordered. This is the
largest sum ever awarded in Montana
for personal injuries. Young was a
