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.

One of the end foature* to he noted In connection with the funeral exer cises Is Use absence ot the tile Pr, J O. A. Clarke, who by an amMgMmt mads between the u«. yean ago was 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 of tlie accuracy of what Dr. Clarke hud written, Defow ore published lib eral extracts tram Dr. Clarke's sketch of Dr. Boss, covering the most im portant of the many Important events 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. .

To Oxford ho went to January, I860, and ordered tho sojduwnore class half nd- yanced.

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. -Aga-i, callcil to toe Wwleyan. ho nc- c.uued the profeusorahtp of tuturol ach once In Ootobcr. 1853. In Hits gdoneer, or. ra ther, mother of female college*, at toe time he begun hla pcofesaorahlp, the other tncunbera of tta faculty were John M. Bunnell, preoldrat: Cotoy W. Smith, pro.'cmor of raatbemaxlca; F. H. Foster, protestor ot ancient, and C. Mnrwta, professor of modem Ian- 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 arc known.hu oucews ha bceto phenom enal. tt w» iluritur his preaMency tost toe lit? George L Sency nobly nnd gen- oiuusbr gave a inrg* sum to remodel nrnd enlarge the Inuldtng. Before this work was completed ft was found that nd hti.ual euuu were needed to finish the n;Jendfd plan of the architect: hence It nso cl,ought beet to issue bombs to complete It To most the Wtereat on chore bonds, nmt to provide a rinktng fund for their reUreuwuit, th* depend- « -v of toe trustees was on wtoxt was -wruius from toe leeae.

Never have we knonxs such' a man of all-work, one p-M*essrd of sneb n coin- h‘i»u >a of vsrioun talents or ouch pose era of endurance. 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 fred the hungry, clothe the nuked and send The gospel to those who have It not. lie night have been a rich man If be had loved money and boomed It. -Many a uut, it ne .nil ous omuroe for money-ouKiug would ta a lease ot ftreaty iron, have aceumntlMtl u for tune, but ne seems to nave nud litue regard for money, no desire to earns, htireself, .or ko ouy up tor MmseU' ireesurC on earth, fits ifknsdeeds Wen 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 term, lnuollftctual nnd religious ad vancement. Many thbusaud dollars, di rectly or Indirectly, ban he brought in her coffers. And many are iter fair daughters, many iher nobis mother.

That csxjuent tongue haH often 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 on ithOlr way. Many aro the male ones whom ho has fiedlcaUcd to God In holy baptism; and many are the saints to whpm he has administered the coin- muntoii of the Lord's Supper. And ev ery year; for twenty years, from, the rostrum 1n IUe_bld chapel at Wesleyan lttvo been heard, the words of wisdom with which ihe hade- adieu to the grad uating cktto—words "fitly spoken,” like ''apples of gold In pictures of silver." In return for all this, and for much more, Macon can make no adequate return to William Capem Bass.
