' -News of the sudden death of Senat- or Plait will be received with pro— found regret by many people of The Norwalks whode a personal acquain- “use with him. He stood for all that V“ will! and lofty‘in his ideals. and was one of the nation’s foremost advls. on in Washington, and will be missed in the capitol more than anywhere ~. else. The tribute paid the deceased by Congressman Hill, printed in anoth- orcolumn. is lastly deserved. ’ It is inferred from the order to a cer- thin company for 100m...) life preserv- quI that practically all of the steamers plying about our harbors and rivers in the summer are to be newly equipped, and that the substitutes for life pres- ervers now in use, or rather, concealed ‘in racks and closets where they are of no use. are to be eliminated. It is said that Inspector General Uhler has con- demned practically every preserver along the Atlantic coast. and that he is personally ordering the form of the new appliances. He will not permit any to leave the factory except such as are made of solid cork. Dust and gravel have. passed out of service.

Orville Hitchcock Platt was borni Washington Conn, July l9.1827 was the son of Daniel Plait. a farmer. and he himself worked on the farm until he was 20 years of age. His early schools and at Frederick Gunn‘ s acad- emy He took up the study of law ill the office of Gideon H. Hollislcr. the Well known Connecticut historian of that day, and in 1849 he was admitted to the bar and later went to Towanda, Penn. and spent six months in law study in the office of Ulysses Mercer. chief justice of the Pennsylvania court and was also admitted to the l‘ennsyl- vania bar. Returning to Connecticut ill 1851. he settled in Meridcn and there took up the general practice of law. in 1857 he was clerk of “10 state senate and had entered fully into that no liticul career which so notably marked the rest of his life. He served as a state senator from 1851 to ’1862. in 1854 he was sent to the house as a representative fronl Meriden. and served that body until 1869. ill which year he was speaker of the house. The your 1877 found him a judge of probate for the Merlden district, and a year later he was state attorney for New Haven county. and held that of- flce until 1879. when he received his first election to the United States Still' ate. succeeding W. H. Barnum. in 1885 he was re- e-iected his own re- election to the United States snate. ate, succeeding W H. Barnum. in 1885 he was reelected his own successor and again was re-electcd tcrm after term and held that office at the time of his death. in the senate he served upon sev- eral important committees, including the pension committee, committee on contingent expenses. was chairman of the committee on patents and of the committee on revision of the laws. In the 60th and olst congress he was chairman of the committee on ter- ritories, during which term six new states were admitted to the union. He was chairman of the sub-committee having charge of the copyright bill in 1891, and was largely instrumental in bringing about its passage. Since then he has filled many important commit- tee positions in the senate. He was a careful legislator, a close student. and a man of sound judg~ meat. who was respected by his col- leagues for his worth and integrity, and probably no man in that honor- able body commandod more wide- spread influence or deeper respect on any measures before that body in be- half of which his voice was raised. lll 1887 Yale university conferred upon him the degree of LL. D. By birth temperament and feeling Senator Platt wan peculiarly the rep-1 resentative of New England ideas. and of the pld fashioned Puritan ia- tegrity and conscience. Throughout his whole life he kept himself in the most sympathetic touch with New England institutions of ev ry kind. The church. the township, he farm and schools and all other institutions of New England life were the ob- jects of his keen interest. Particularly strong was his love for his native town of Washington with whose citi- zens he had always been familiar. where several years ago he built a beautiful summer home and where most of his summer life of late years was passed. As regards his political and public personality. Senator Platl was a man to the last degree plain spoken. While not' a brilliant speaker. he was a clear and forceful one on the public platform, using the plain Anglo-Sax- on speech without metaphor. This plain speaking quality brought him in ,Proiscis Investors :iIiE fIiIAIBIAI: Wilillil. ”Lg “a: . one stiffener" ‘0' years a Nurse in Children’s Home, anmedy,nowmdmdplaeedin . immanent forlhailrnttimeln n a ear. lwill‘ a", ’mother . done my little bug‘s education was obtained in the district I ”,(8ickiy.

Y. public as well as in private very near to his constituency and frllends. and was one great source of h s in finance. particularly as in both public and personal relations he was ap- nproachablc and never in any sense He ni distant or a recluse. Senator Plait was particularly fond of out door sport and in recent years at the school ball games at Washing- 'ton he was always a familiar figure. it was on fishing. however. that his outdoor tastes largely centered. For many years prior to the erection of his Washington home he had a cot- tage in the Adirondacks and along the streams and on the lakes of that re- gion he spent many summer days. As an angler and lover of outdoor life one of his traits so much striking to his friends was his indifference to any kind of an elaborate lunch. lie carried with him on his long fishing excursions usually only a little bread and choose. but always insisted that a fire should be built on shore at which the bread could be toasted. This love of_a fire as a kind of re mantlc element of forest life was one of his most distinctive outdoor tastes. Probably the most striking feature in Senator Platt‘s public life was his intimacy with the state of Connecti- cut and its problems and interests as connected with federal affairs. His constituents always found him at the national capital, 9. ready listener and a prompt assistant in anything that bore upon the welfare of the state which he represented. All citizens of the state looked up to him with a most. profound respect. and while in telleclually of a dinerent mould, his relations to the commonwealth were very similar to those of the late Sens ator Hour to the people of Massachu- setts. The funeral will be at 1:30 o‘clock next Tuesday in the Congregational Church, which occupies the center of the little village green in this town. in accordance with the wish of Mrs. riatt and the ofbcxpressed preference of the senator himself. the service will be of a simple character and no on- logles will be delivered. The Rev. 8. O. Seymour, 1). 1).. pastor of St. Mich- aei‘s Episcopal Church. of hitchfield. will conduct the service and will be assisted by the curate of his church. the Rev. 1.. B. Bissoll. and by the Rev. Robert E. Carter. pastor of the Con- gregational Church here. This church Was selected for the occasion because it has the largest auditorium in the village and is the only onecapable of accommodating the throng of visitors who will undoubtedly desire to attend the funeral of the distinguished sen- ator. Throughout the day Charles (1. Phelps, the senator's secretary, has been receiving messages of condolence by telephone for Mrs. Plait and greet- lng grief stricken callers from the vil- lage. As the telegraph office is at Washington depot. two miles from the Matt residence. It was arranged that telegrams of condolence received there should be delivered in batches by a messenger, the first bunch to be sent to the house about noon. Secretary Phelps also expected to receive dur- ing the day a telegram from Washing- ton, D. 0.. containing the names of members of the Senate and House ap~ painted by the Senate sergeant-at- llrms. as honorary bearers at the fun- oral. Judge James P. Plait. of the United States Circuit Court. the senator's son. who came here yesterday from his home in Meriden and was present when Senator Pintt died. was compell- ed to go to Hartford to attend to some business matters today. He will prob- ably return tlllll afternoon accompan- Iod by his family. No other relatives have arrived here as yet. HARTFORD. .

H Platt's life work is told All that such a man needed was op- portunity, and that came to him in middle life. He was equal to it then. and through all the twenty- s-lx years of membership in the greatest legisla- tive body .on earth. he grew steadily stronger and magnificently greater un- til as a leader among leaders and in the very height of his usefulness to his state and nation, death took him. When the rail of the Senate is again called and the name of O H Plait is passed there will surely come to each of his surviving colleagues the thought of the response which the French guard was wont to make to the mem- ory all their dead comrades. "Died on the field of battle ” He believed in God and that some- where in every human being some- thing of the divine was planted, so that to him all men were brothers, and his love for his fellowmen was the inspiration of his life. He abhor- red shame (if every kind and measured men by what they really were and not by their pretensions. The unfortunate poor and the hon— estly rich received equal consideration from him and he gave his time his thought and best efforts to both alike By his devotion to his work and genuine statesman ship developed in recent years, he gave to Connecticut a prominence in the councils of the or tion which has never been excelled in its history.

No business was trasactod in the present general as- sembly until after the election of Sen- ator Bulkley. and the excitement pro duced at that time has scarcely died away. it is expected that there will be several candidates for the vacant sent in the United States senate from this state. but out of respect to the mem- ory of Senator Plait. it is though pro- bable that election will be delayed un. til Just before prevention. which in the usual course of events will be late in May.
