In Westminster Abbey. * Every biographer of Goldsmith, writes Mr. Alvin Waggoner in Case and Comment, the lawyers' magazine, strange story of the poet's en 'mrents with the'law at his death.' Un: questionably 'Goldsmith died in debt. Sir Joshua Reynolds; mated the debts at $10,000. According to the story, these debs | disrupted the funeral arrangements, A public funeral in Westminster Ab- bey was designed, the pallbearers had been selected from the distinguished eircle to which Goldsmith helonged, and then the rapidly maturing ar- raagements came to «- sudden halt, | The public funeral was a up with- out explahation. T ial "Took place simply, amb ' ground 'of the Temple Chureh, None of "the old literary friends' were 'present. This strange change in procedure has" been explained by-the statement that fri*ads feared that : would interfere with the public fun- eral by sefming' the 'body; a right' which it'is allegéd the ereditors had under the law at that time. % This explanation has "refterat- ed until it is quite generally believed. As a matter of fact the story is with out foundation because the law of England 'never 'gave a right of this nature: to-creditors. 'The story has also been quite industricusly éircus lated 'about Richard Brinsley: Sheri- dan, who lkewise died 'heavily In debt, Whatever it"was that changed the arrangemenis of a public funeral for Oliver Goldsmith, it may be safe- ly vasserted as 'a?legal proposition the 'dead -body would "be- seized by creditors, Possibly Forster came near the truth-wheu he said, "It was felt that a private cerethony, would which he died." ' So it came about that Goldsmith 'was buried by his ; the boundaries of their own domain. He had lived his happiest days among them, and It was after all more fit- ting that he should lie down to" his long rest in the midst of them rather. than in a 'garish and splendid tomb in Westminster Abbey. The exact spot of the grave lias long been forgotten, but in 1837 the 'befichiers of the Tem- ple Inn placed a 'mérble slab in the church of the "Temple, and this is pointed out to 'visitors as' the poet's resting place. It'is hallowed ground, and' the lawyers "who 'Sow' frequent that spot may well turn aside from the plodding course of their daily routine and pay homage to the poet who lived among 'their bréthren of another age dnd loved them with-all the' fervor of his simple, honest heart. Isle of Lewis Scots. The Island of Lewis in Scotland, where practically the entire: male population has volunteered for active service, holde a proud record for military prowess, and furnikhes the finest recruits for the Highland regi- ments, A 'practice, approved by Plato, formerly prevafled here of putting to death by exposure-all weakly or deformed children, and it {s said by the most eredible histor- fans that this custom continued until "modern times." As a result, the inhabitants are far superior in physl- que to other Highlanders, and con- sumption was quite unknown until recently re-introduced by sfekly Southrons. Early Female Boxing Bout.
