After leaving college, having chosen the law for his profession, he entered the office of Hon. Roscoe Conkling in this city as a student. He was admitted to the bar in 872, and became a partner in the firm of Dennison, Knox & Everett. Upon the retirement of Mr. Knox in 1879 the firm's name was changed to Dennison & Everett. During Governor Cornell's administration Mr. Everett was appointed deputy attorney general under Hon. Hamilton Ward, and served in that capacity during Mr. Ward's te'm of office. During this time he lived in Albany. In 1881 he returned to Utica and the firm of Everett & Lewis was formed. The business of the firm was extensive and made great demands upon Mr. Everett. The settlement of a great estate in New York and business in connection with the building of the West Shore railroad kept him so closely occupied for several years that his mind finally gave way under the strain. Mr. Everett took an active part in Oneida county politics from the time of his admission to the bar until 1882. During 1876-80 he made many political speeches and his voice was heard in every town of the county. His manner of oratory was pleasing and he had a wonderful gift of language. In his practice of law he was careful and thorough. He had a knack of instantly apprehending the full meaning of legal propositions, which made him a valuable counselor. His mind grasped every position of his case clearly. Mr. Everett was never married. Both of his parents survive him, His fellow members of the bar, while admiring his indefatigable devotion to their chosen profession, will grieve that it brought upon him the malady which laid him low in the prime of his life and took from among them a lawyer of more than ordinary natural ability, an eloquent pleader and wise counselor, and a conspicuous example of that success that comes from hard work. His surviving classmates who prized his friendship in the college days of nearly twenty years ago, will pay the tenderest tributes to his memory, while the many students of later years who so often profited by his kindly and valuable advice will mourn his loss as that of a very dear friend. The sympathy of the people of Utica, where the early student life of their son was spent, will go out most sincerely to the afflicted father and mother. MARRIED. BARLOW-RAUT.-At the M. E.

HE need and duty of labor is one of the primary and universal laws of human life. All classes and conditions of men are holden to it, though its fulfillment is wrought out in many and varied vocations. The labor of the brain is not less onerous or imperative than the labor of the hand. Necessity enjoins the one; duty urges the other. He who uses the garnered knowledge of the past and the fruits of his own thought for the advancement of his fellows is truly obeying Him who bade men love their neighbors as themselves. Mazzini says, "it is around the standard of duty rather than the standard of self-interest that men must rally to win the rights of man." As mankind progresses the relation of the brain-toiler and the hand-toiler materially change. Education, culture, intelligence, were once the privileges of a class, while manual labor was the severe obligation imposed by necessity upon the remainder of the human family. Thought was narrow in its application; research was selfishly speculative; the crying needs of humanity were ignored in the strife of the few to attain the mind's maximum. Industries, fast increas ing in number and importance, were left to be carried on by main brute force. The common pursuits of life were considered too ignoble to receive the attention of the aristocracy of knowledge. Yet there were men, "heirs to that nobility resting upon merit," who found in the needs of industry and commerce a field for the labor of their minds. Labor-saving devices, health-saving discoveries, knowledge-spreading inventions have been powerful factors in advancing civilization and elevating labor to its present status. To these and to the wider sympathy that has grown among the various orders of society are in a large measure due those remarkable changes in the conditions of life among the working class which, by contrast with the past, seem so great as to leave small opportunity for further improvement. Yet history shows that to every race and generation belongs some special work. We cannot say that this age is an exception. Industrial strife, division of labor to the very extremes of differentiation, threatening combinations of capital, the increase in the number and distress of the unemployed; these, to-day, present to the student and the statesman a problem whose solution is urgently demanded. There is a growing apprehension that knowledge and intelligence must be directed in such channels as to affect more intimately the hand-toiler; to increase his faculty of self-support and self-help, and to secure to him full compensation for his labor. It is beginning to be felt that work must be directed by intelligence and by conscience, in order to attain the maximum in productive capacity, and so to insure the laborer's happiness and contentment and the security and prosperity of the community. The tendency to substitute mind for muscle in industrial operations is not without its significance, and the most pertinent social question that has arisen in years is, "how may education be rendered a more effectual aid in all the vocations of life?" There is observed, as never before, the need for skilled labor in the direction of our extensive industries. The apprentice system, itself incomplete and long in desuetude, |
