female College, dial at the reaklenc* at
Ms son-to-lw. Mr. R. F. Burden, 470
Oranee sweet. The Immediate cause ot
death eras paralysis, but the best medi
cal opinions spree that It eras but the
remit ot n cancer. Are*, noticed by ths
physicians over ‘two years ago.
The funeral will fake place this after
noon at 2:30 o'clock from Mulberry
Street Methodist ohurah. and the Inter
ment will be at Riverside, ot-metery.
Dr. Ram Med peacefully and happy,
lust as he had lived, and wu* conscious
to the and, aJthuugh paralysis had de
prived Mm of the power of speech, so
tfutt to the «ood wife end children who
stood shout Mm until bis »rul pasted
up to heaven be could only rook s last
loving farewell.
Dr. Bass float became troubled with a
peculiar growth in Ms left side about
two yearn and a half ago, A physician
assured Mm tout the growth, was a
mats mole, and <t woe removed. In the
course of blow another corwth formed
In the some place, end Dr. MoHstton
was called In. The phyMctso decided
that tt was a cancerous growth, but Was
-unwilling to disturb (he patient by sc-
qudkMng Mm with the fset, knowing
an he <U,t that by keeping his general
health good his life would probably be
prolonged several yoirs.
This weus more than a year- before.
Dr. Bass reasoned the presidency of
Wraleynn College, which not wire due
to the fact that he had been made ac>
ijwanted with Ms condition. Dr. MoIIst-
tom finally determined to tell Dr. Buss
tlinit he wj« suffering with cancer. He
told the patimt 'that <he would probably
live smother year longer, and Dwve am
ple Mine to settle up his huatoras affairs
oml make preparations for the ond. The
physician would not attempt to remove
the ameer. for fear of other complica
tions, and so Dr. Buna sought elsewhere
for rclof. finally applying to a Chicago
spoctstts!, who referred Mm io a pro-
faariooai friend then in Florida.
HE HOPED TO LIVE.

Ida. several months ago. He received
no encouragement there, .bring told that
It would prove dangtrous lt> remove the

Inter referred to Dr. George W. Oostln,
i< npotHMrt, who undeiitook to remove
the cancer, and wno hen attended Dr.
ltasa constantly from thca mVi.'l the
time of his death. Dr. dorian's success
In 'Uhls direction wnasomiilefnctory that
both Dr, lines and hla-family enter,
trrined strong hope* of his recovery,
which probably would have been
brought about birt for the total Stroke
of pcralysln, wrldoh occurred Imly a
short While ago. Dr. Oostln. succeeded
In removing the canemone growth, aid

One of the end foature* to he noted
In connection with the funeral exer
cises Is Use absence ot the tile Pr, J

ot preach Dr. Rssa’ funeral sermon in
Ihe event that the latter outlived the
forever, and whore funeral was to he
Drenched by Dr. Bare In COBS lie out
lived Dr. Clarke. These two distin
guished ministers were boyhori
friends, nnd through the wlvle of life
Iksi bfld existed between them, a
brotherly tore beautiful fo o-ntem-
plste. It was under emotion of this
nature That one agreed to perform th<
last Christian service for the other on
this earth, mdly enough Dr. Clarke
wont horn* tirst. and has no doubt ert
this wthVraed his friend to his side.
Although dentil removed him before
lac fuii- rai of hU friend. Dr. Clarke
prepared lu April larit a sketch of DC.
Bass, which lie bud published In the
IVuficyan Christian Advooue st tha
time nm-n Dr. Uses severed bis con
nection with Wesleyan College. Wheth
er or not Dr. Clarke felt that he would
not lie here to offlekke at bis- friend's
funeral, hr whether he thought the oc-
oasloa pcculiariy appropriate for a
summary of Dr. Bass' life work Is hot
known, but be prepared then wtrjl he
probibly would bave said had lift lived
to carry out the solemn conspuct made
years before.
D.i'.vngoiy enough, Dr. Bias never
read tola sketch bf bis own life, am
never knew of Urn publication until
tome time after Dr, Clarke's death.
More strange Mitt, he never even then
found occasion to read wicat had been
written of him, either so free from
vanity was be or else ao sure whs he

In the career of the tailor:
WILLIAM OARERS BARB, D. D.
William tapers /lies was born In
Augusta, Os., Jan. 13. 1MI. His father,
the Rev. Henry Bass, was for many
yrtws a successful pioneer Method 1st
preacher. It was while the father was
presiding elder of the Augusta district
—liitn In toe South Carolina confer
ence— that the son was born. The <|o«i
of that year was memorable in Oeor
gla MeX'odlsm, tor Jt was then the
Georgia conference was set off fro,
the South CaroHna conference; nnd
at the father adhered to the latter
the young Bam grow up in South
Carolina, and there received Ma ejrls
training.
At C, ikes burg young Bass prepared
for college, and there, Aug. 22, 1843, at
the age of 17, Capem, on he was fa-
mlltarlr called" united with the Moth-
odigt Dpincopal Churrii, South, nnd
there five days afterward he wa« hip
Idly converted. Ho left Ookreburg to
enu-r ujfon a life for which subsequent
Preved that he wns pre-eminent
ty mted. not only by culture and dis
cipline, but by an almost Intuitive sRt-
neaoifor Imparting knowledge.
. J 1 . 1 * *!£** * cho ° l area to Barnwell dis
trict. ft was Ms purpose to teaelh two
yearn and Hum enter tho South Carolina
But God ordered otherwlrie.
To Oxford ho went to January, I860, and
ordered tho sojduwnore class half nd-
yanced. H« graduated from that nchool
In 1882. rrfterswirds going to Greensboro,
where he accented a profereorehtp in
Uie academy of that place. Under toe
print deucy t>f tho Rev. Castor w. 9ml to
young Bass entered upon bis labors aa
atMstswt professor. There those conge
nial spirits taught until young Smith
was called to too profreuorshlp of ma-fi-
enwinics In the Woileyan Female Coltceo.
Tho frlendrilvlp f.vrrmsl between these
two yoirtoful coliiboa-ivu wan cemented
by muttgil regard and affoctian nnd
•n«ted undlrMnished until mho death of
Snriuh.' in October of that year, two or
three montos rifter he began hla labors
at Gretmaboro, Cupcm Bans was elected
to Ml 'Uur vticamcy caued by tike resigna
tion of Smlto.
During Ids residence in Greenrhoro
two evonlts occurred that had no ollght
fcittuence upon Ma future. The one was
his mwirnkwce; too older was his call to
tos Trtntotry. There. In July, 1851. he
married Octnvla Nicholson, the pride
and oronmwrt of her native village. The
O’.htr event tvu Ms call to tde mlntotry.
AccortUrgly. heedtog tho divine coll. In
his twenty-first your ho applied, for li
cense 4'> .prgaah. and so be was llccmed
by tho quartely aatvference for the
Greensboro circuit, held at too old
VVMkor ohurcih, in Greene county, in
Ootobur, 1853. Ad this famous old
church George F. Pierce was ttcersod
to preach, nr*l from Its pulpit the lu-
ture great Mdtoodlst bishop • prcnched
hla nrst eerrnon. Ami from the pulpit
of toe churdh wthero ho too wan It-
ootisod. Capons Bass ftnst ended sinners
to repentance and faith in Chrfflt,
When Capers Baas wua call’d to the
ministry be did not feel himself called
to too Itinerancy. He was persuaded
that teaching w-ia his llfo work. In both
itrhondi he has-been pre-eminently cue-
ceasfkll. Few ittoaruit preaohers have
bren In Whom more t to nnd ant or more
helpful, and rsft many have been nbler
in nhc pulpit.
NV> one visited the sick more than he;
rev one. witton any given year, was
called upon to bury as many dead. And
when nqt nerving -them as a pastor sent
by toe conference be baa been keeping
up, for twenty yearu. a monthly np-
fr/ntment at Swift Greek, and andther
at Basa*—Batb fenmllcd hy himself and
one of them called by bis name—and
another tor thirty-five ytnra nt Damas
cus,
It w1U be noticed toot wo havo been
treating Dr. Boss ns if he had always
been n local preadhor. Strictly speak
ing, this Is not ao, for be Joined the
South Georgia Annual Cbnfereoce tn
1887,.and conttnuos a member df tout
body to 'tols day. But slnoe. year after
year, he hue always been returned to
the ooHnge, we have not nude that die
tlnetton. ’
Returning toe record of his life, we
find Mai at to* rioee W Ms labors tn
Uresneboro, a profensor In the Mndlsm
FcatoUl College. There he entered upon
his special work os a tcooher of girls.
At the end of bis first year M Msdl-
son. he wna called to toe Wesleyan,
pareusdsd by Ms frlena and the author.
Riga a t Mmjtaop To decline tola cnll, he
remained there five years longer.

gu-rgtA In tho department of natural
a,Uonce Dr. Bumj conMnued ureal the reo-
Ixu.v.Uin ,vf Dr. E. H. Meyers, who bad.
succeeded Dr. Bonnell ht 1874. On the
r,»i*TKiaon ot Dr. Meyers toe trustees
chore ilhe.profetvor of natural science
to Ml tos vacancy.
ft was jual such a combination as was
needed, for the college took new life; it
entered uivm a higher JiUne of useful-
iimu: nnd as long us Haas and Smith
bred and were strong to work. It was
felt tout the college would toe well
miwtncd—th»t to-stc would at least be
no retrograde movement, but a sure
ami steady advance.
Nor ho, Wesleyan, or the public been
dvappointed In the presidency of Dr.
Dms. for when oil hla cnibarassments

oiuusbr gave a inrg* sum to remodel
nrnd enlarge the Inuldtng. Before this
work was completed ft was found that

the n;Jendfd plan of the architect: hence
It nso cl,ought beet to issue bombs to

Never have we knonxs such' a man of

h‘i»u >a of vsrioun talents or ouch pose

And. a* * man, never Rtve we seen
one mors benevolent or mors forward
In every good ssbrk. He was storeys
ready to heir the cry of dtotiCM, to

send The gospel to those who have It

-Many a uut, it ne .nil ous omuroe for

regard for money, no desire to earns,

Marvelous. Mo matter wnac call was
mod* upon his liberality, Dr. Bam
nun responded beyond his frieans. Did
It cone from a brother preaefler lb
need? Was it tne cry of widowhood
or of orphanage.- Was it a wail from
some illy stricken by peetH-iOce? Wa
It an ap;. ,il from some community de
vastated by :l cyclone? WlKtim Capers
Hess', heart nd pur* e were sbke open
Hut who can tell the amount of b.
gifts In educittln the daughters of the
poor? Think of it, sometimes «a many
ns forty preachers' children a year-
reearly all of whom wen- the daughters
of Methodist Klneraart preachers—were
educated by him tree ot charge ter
tuition, and. In the college, at special
or reduced rales for board; end, oft
In the same year, ae many os Purty
children of the jwmr, whose fathers
were not prcichers, were taught ond
b««fded by him on the Mine terms.
And all this came out of hla own
pooket. and. as long os he lived, out of
the pocket W I ho late lamented Dr. W.
Corby Smith. Wherefore, os Otpers
Baca did alt 'till*, la there any wondei
that: bis Mlnuil report* to tbe board
of trustees seldom showed that, after
paying the lease and meeting all necto-
•mry expenses, he had not made for
lilmself and family as much as Is often
received by pastora of circuits? An
I# Ihere any wonder that be U a poor
mem, now tha‘i 111 health and feebl,
ness of body have Compelled him fo re
sign the presidency of the college?
And yet this noble educator ha:
given diplomas to seven hundred niri
thirty young women, more than one-
half bf tbe thirteen hundred nnd forty-
seven old Weeleyon has graduated
And who can tell how many more,
who did n<1: graduate, received Instruc
tion from Wip during ihe five years o:
Ms presidency at Wesleyan? And of
the one hundred and thirty-four grad
uatwn In music, all except one bad their
diplomas from him, And besides, this
man of God his sent Into our mis
sion fields several noble women who
have told or are now helling their, be
nighted sisters in heathen lands of thr
love of God tb man. Alice Bonnell,
Ml» Garey, Iodiie MacDonald an,
Ella Grant,erry have thua Illustrated
their alma rotter In China, in Mexleo
and In Brasil, And to these must he
added Laura Hnygood, who. though
she did not graduate under, was taught
by him.
To Dr. Base Mflcon owes a debt she
cannot repay. There he has, lived for
thirty-five years. No one there fat bet
ter known; no one will die more la
mented. During all thoae years, no on<
h is been more Identified with her best
Interests; no one did more for her nu

Men heard In her pulpdis preaching
Ohrid, and Him craoifted, calling sin
ners to repentance nhd saints to Im
plicit trust In God and His promises.
It has often been heard around the
couch of pain nnd suffering, adminis
tering to the sick and aifildted ‘the' con-
BoUtrons of tine gospel of the Sop of
God, It has often been heard In the
house of mournlngi or In the sanctuary
of God, speaking words of sympathy
and cheer .to stricken hearts Uuvt
were committing their loved onw .to
their final rmtlng-placcn.bn the banks
of the Orafulgco. It has often, been
hturd Jn the family circle, or at the
niluur In house of God, uniting In holy
wedlock two fond hearts ghat had
taken each other for better or worse,
pronouncing benediction* on their wed
ded lives and blithely cheering them

In return for all this, and for much

MARVELOUS RESULTS.
From a lrtter written hy Rev. J. Gun-
derman. ot Dimandate, Mich., we are
permuted to make this extract: "I have
no hesitation in recommending Dr.
King'* New Discovery, as the results
were almost marvelous in the case of
my wife. While I .was pastor of the
Baptist cCmrah at Rives Junction she
was brought down with Pneumonia
succeeding La Grippe. Terftble parox
ysm* of coughing would lost hours with
Mt:le interruption, and it eeemtd as If
she g-ould not eupvtoq them. A friend
recommended Dr. King's New Discov
ery. It wyib quick In Sts work and high
ly satisfactory In results." Trial bottles
