The readers ot The (Jlippeb have ol- ready been Informed ot his sudden Illness while In New Tork a mouth aso, and of bis subssquent removal to 8L Louis. On the moming ot the 28th he wss placed In a rocking-chair for a few mo- ments, and when he was returned to his bed tbe change In bis condition so alarmed his attend* onta that they called Mrs. Do Bar and Mrs. Dex- ter, a danghter ot Mr. De Bar by his first wife. They were reongnlzed by the paUent, who smiled faintly, gasped, and passed away without a strug- gle. The causes of his death were paralysis and softening of the brain. Mr. De Bar's Illness having brought forth many new and Inter- esting phsses, ths leading pbysldans of ths city determined on a pos^mnrtem examination ot the bnun. The autopsy showed that It wss above the avenge size. Its wsight being SIH ounces. Tbe (dentlOe deserlptlan of bis disease is "atheromatous degeneration ot left middle osrebral artery, with .atrophic softening In the neighborhood ot tbe fissure sllvlus, and probabls thrombus in affeded artery."

An Imposing catafalque was erected In the large hall ot tbe Masonic building, and on the moming ot tbe a9lh tbe body ot the late ncror was placed be- neath Its canopy, where It remained In state until the middle of the next day. It Is estimated that not fewer than 35,000 people visited tbe hall dating the days of the 29th and 3ath. The floral ooerings were numerous, and very beau- tlful In design. At the foot of tbe casket stood a harp mode of tube-roeee. collas and other wblta flowers, the gilt ot (Thsrlee Spalding; proprietor of the Olympic Theatre. Two pieces, represont- Ing the Mssonlc square and compass, with the letter **G" In tbe centre, were the offerings of tbe fratemlty. A Maltese ciws and o wreath of tnbe- roses were presented by 0. M. Ellard. The fune- ral was advertised to take ptam from tbe Masonic Hall at i.so r, v., but long before the apiiolnied time the boll was filled with a dense mass of peo- ple. Themembersot the profetslon were pmvldeil with ssats at tbe leftot the stage, and the combined orchestras of the Opera-hnnso. Olympic Theatre and Theatre 0>mlque. led by n, Yogel and A. Wal- dauer, were stattooed In front. Shortly after 3 o'docfc the memtiers of Missouri Lodge, No. I. filed Into tbe ball, the arsnd-mostsr, the Chaplain, and tbe minister who waa to deliver the address, tak- ing seats on the stage. At a signal from the Mas- ter ths orchestra rendered with fine effect "Jeeue, Thou art MvHoiie." The Master then read the lost chapter ot Eocleetalee, which was succeeded by a further aelectlon of music. Tbe Bav. Dr. Mc- Anally offered up a fervent prayer, and concluded the ceremonies at the hall with an addrees which was listened to with deep attention. After the conduding Masonic ceremonies bad been g*ne through with, those who wished were allowed to take a last look at the face of the deceased actor, the Iron lid of the coffin was e ci e w ed Into Itsplsce. aud the casket was boms down to the bsarse by tbe following homed Masonic pallbearers: D.

The proces- slon was hsaded by the bernre-mentloned l>and. who ware followed by tbe members ot tbe dramatlo pnfesston ot St. Lonls on foot. The hearse, drawn by tour boisas, and decorated with trailing vines, was followed by about seventy-five carriages and many private vehi- cles. After having gone some distance, those on toot entered earxlages, and proceeded out to the Belletoniaioe Oemetary, where Ben De Bar was burled in a lot owned by bis daughter, Mrs. LlBotte IVxtor. The Masonic ceremonies at the grave,' conducted by Orand-master Thomas Gar- ran, were very impreeslve, and drew tears to tbe eyes ot mony who were present. A touching featnre of the ceremony won tbe singing of the Amphlon Quartet, and the ploying of o solemn dirge by Waldaner's OrcbPstra.
