JUDGE WILLIAMS' EULOGY J-ineral Services at Home of Dei-eased, AVhere Friends, Fellow .lurUts and Pioneers Gather to ro Him Honor. SXLEM. Or., April 12. (Special.) TVIth all of the hnnnrs. dignity and re Kpect that mortal being: could bestow, and to which one in his late exalted station in public and private life was entitled, the last tad rites and relig ious ceremonies were performed over the remains of the late Judge Reuben Patrick Boise, at the old home place at 2 o'clock this afternoon, and they were laid away to eternal rest in the family plot. in Odd Fellows Cemetery where hey will follow out the dictates of the laws of nature -"asnes to ashes and dust to dust" but the history of his life and deeds will ever remain fresh mid ineffaceable in the hearts and minds of his relatives, friends and fel l'iw citizens to be banded down from .Keneratlon to generation of posterity. Though simple and without the 'slightest decree of ostentation, the ob Isequies were conducted at the house in iihn presence of about 200 persons of hlgh and low station In public life, life-long friends and fellow Jurists and pioneers, with great solemnity and dig nified beauty. These services consist ed of a brief religious sermon by Rev. .T S. Knight, the pioneer Presbyterian -missionary and minister of the Pacific Northwest, who has conducted all of the funeral services of the Boise fam ily since their residence in Salem, for rai years, and an impromptu address, of a reminiscent and eulogistic nature, by the Hon. George H. Williams, of Portland, a pioneer of 1853 and now the oldest lawyer in the state. Honor Memory of the Head. These venerable and time-honored citizens pa la many a compliment and sounded praises of the good deeds their deceased friend had accomplished dur ing the ST years of a life of honesty, t'iritt. Integrity and public usefulness, slid their lucid recitations of warm as sociations of tne past caused many a tear t' weli up and overflow In the ei of those within hearing distance. Music for the occasion was furnished by the Thlelsen Quartette, composed of Professor and Mrs. Francesco Seley. Mrs. V. I'arlton Smith and F. Q. Decke bach. w ho rendered the Episcopal bur ial chant and a selection from the (fc9 pi 1 Hymns. Mr. Peckebach rendered a baritone solo, entitled -Rest," by Mrs. J. W. Bliss. "Mv friends." said tho Hon. George H. Williams, who arose slowly and fee bly, at the close of tho Reverend K'nlght's eloquent and touching ser mon, to address a few remarks in be- 1 half of his departed friend, "I have but; a few words to say concerning P-olse, thai was, and whom you all knew as well as I as a man whose en tire life was filled with fidelity and the highest ideals of honor. Judge Holse acted well bin part on every pos sible occasion and for this reason be was entitled to all of the praises and honors due him. "Judge Boise has been more fortu nate during his life than has Tcen the lot of many of us in earning and gain ing the respect and confidence of alt. He was forlunate in his family: Ills -friends, and especially In retaining his faculties unimpaired to the very close of a long and useful life. When I came ttc. Oregon, over S9 years ago. Judge rioise was engaged In the active prac tice of law, and I have had the pleasure of seeing htm oeriipy seats of the high est hohor the people could bestow, the bench of the Supreme and Circuit Courts, and. as a Judge he 'has been absolutely impartial and upright: his jrivate life Irreproachable, and In pub lic, above suspicion. Mas Oldest Lawyer in State. Rut a few days ago Judge Boise was the oldest lawyer in the state of Oregon. Now he lias gone and I am the oldest and left to tread down the weary path of Ufa alone, and I feel liito one left alone without anyone to look up to In point of years and experience In the line of practice. When m man reaches the age that was attained by Judge Boise he has no occasion to re gret to depart this earth, and there is no occasion to mourn his loss. is Just as natural for him to die as lie lived. Everything the tree, the flow er, the gr:iss, thrlre and fulfill their usefulness on earth and. after they liavc done their duty, wither and per ish; and tlio same is true of mankind, nnd It is his duty to act and view as cheerfully as he can the end of this life which is inevitable. "His belovNl family and friends need not grteve over bis departure from such a long life of toll and high accomplish ments, for they can look back upon his record with pride and full satisfaction. SprinK Is a most appropriate time for an old man to take his departure from this aerth, when there are Spring flowers birds and everything to brighten and cheer him on to the end with their sweet fragrance and mirthful song, symbolic of life of happiness, Joy and prosperity When the sun goal down and sheds its Kolden hues over the earth which Is about to be clothed In darkness, so an old man like Judtce Roise dies with all the glories of a setting sun. And when It is all over we can all Join In saying: 'Well done, good and faithful servant. Rest in peace." " Not tr Eye in Assemblage. When Judge Williams closed his re marks, sn simple vet full of feeling and pathos as they fell from lips trembling with age and tenderness, there was scarcely a dry eye in the whole assem blage. After the rendition of a song by the quartet, and the crowd filed to take a look at the deceased statesman and Jurist, the funeral cortege wended its solemn way to the cemetery, where the remains were laid to their final rest after brief services and prayer conducted by the Kev. Air. Knignt. and an mat was earthly of the late Judge Boise was a tiling of the past. The beautiful array of floral offerings gave mute testimony of the high esteem In which the deceased was held by the community and commonwealth, while rep resentatives of the state and Federal Ju diclary and state officialdom were in at tendance upon the ceremonies which marked the dose of one of the most brll llant careers tn the state's history. The honorary pallbearers were: Hon. A. Push. Hon. George H. Williams, Hon Tltinon Kord. Hon. W. Breyinan, Judge ' K. Wolverton. of the l.'nited States Ihtrtrt Court of Portland; Chief Justice K. S. Beau, of the State Supreme Court: Judge Afred F. Sears. Jr . of the Circuit Court for Multnomah County; ex-Gover- fiior F. lloody and ex-Governor JY. P Iord.

Memorial services to the memory of the late Judge R. P. Boise were held by the Multnomah County Bar Association in Room 4 of the Circuit Court yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The courtroom was crowded with members of the bar. distinguished jurists, gray-haired Judges and friends, who listened attentively to the words of tribute spoken by Judge C. U.
