K BUHer in the Liberty Street Church At, the Liberty Street M. E Church last evening Rev. C E. Miller, presiding elder ot the Herkimer district, lectured on "The Chamber of Imagery, or the Utility of Ideals.''' After describing Ezehjel's vision of the chamber ofeim- agery he said^-that in eveiy life was the power to create ideals. But it is difficult to rise at once to the acceptance of the highest ideal of life as an aspiration." We question the "utility of ideals. We are so oppressed by materialism that every- thing is tinctured by it. When you rise enough" above the material to discover yourself you no longer question the util- ity Of the ideal. Then to question its utility is like questioning the utility of sculpture, or painting or poetry. We stand before Angelo^ "Moses"** and are Impressed with the possible creative power in man. Millett's "Angelas" makes us feel that within is a capacity to rise to some comprehension of Immensity .of God's presence therein and our ability -f-;V^ JOHN D. OXNER IS DEAD.

Lecture 1>y Be*. O. K BUHer in the Liberty Street Church

At, the Liberty Street M. E Church last evening Rev. C E. Miller, presiding elder ot the Herkimer district, lectured on "The Chamber of Imagery, or the Utility of Ideals.''' After describing Ezehjel's vision of the chamber ofeim-agery he said^-that in eveiy life was the power to create ideals. But it is difficult to rise at once to the acceptance of the highest ideal of life as an aspiration." W e question the "utility of ideals. We are so oppressed by materialism that every­thing is tinctured by it. When you rise enough" above the material to discover yourself you no longer question the util­ity Of the ideal. Then to question its utility is like questioning the utility of sculpture, or painting or poetry. We stand before Angelo^ "Moses"** and are Impressed with the possible creative power in man. Millett's "Angelas" makes us feel that within is a capacity to rise to some comprehension of Immensity .of God's presence therein and our ability

Isaac J . Evans was born at Orlskany, in this county, on July 20, 1853. His early I education was obtained lu the schools of that village arid at Whites-town Seminary, where he was graduated in the classics. The removal of his parent; to the city of Rome changed h(s residence to this city, and he. began the study of law hero.; He studied with' Hon. W. B. Blis?, and with the fltm( ot Barnett & Sayles, and then he attended the Albany law-school. He received his diploma of admission on May 18, 1870, since Which timeIhe has enjoyed -a-lucrative practice in this city, up tb the time of hla death on .Monday last.

He was elected special- couuty^udge of Oneida county in 1883, and in the fall of 1886'was" chosen, by the electors county judge, servingthe fuH term of six years; At his death he.was counsel in Important litigation for the state,

Judge 10 vans was a man of strong mag­netic personality and- enduring Mend-ships; his sociability made him popular with all classe3,and especially with his fellow members of the bar. He was loyal to his friends, possessing those attributes which not only make but preserve them. He was kind, generous; and sympathetic with all, for his life had a large measure of intense sorrow.

Professionally he was the peer of any member of the bar of this county. He saw the vital issue in a case at a glance. He was dear in .the statement of facts; strong, eloquent, almost Irresistible be­fore a jury; logical, analytical andpower-lul DerdreiHeDehchV He understood the Jaw, its precepts and principle. He knew the ethics of the profession. His mind was of the legal trend—argumentative and Judicial. He' Was a natural lawyer, an Instinctive advocate, a jroadmlnded J^nd imparUaL jodge. JHe Was tenacious In 'argbrmenfrTn" pherlng fo"^W"vliwl7 though he granted large Indulgence to
