death of Commodore uuIl.

The Hero Of the Constitution Frigate is nc
more Commodore HULL died at his resi-.
dence in the city Of Philade phia, on Monday
the 18Th, uItimo, attwenty minutes past five
o'clock, aged sixty-eight years.
Commodore Hull had been in the service
Of his country for the long period Of forty. five
years, having received an appointment as
Lieutenant in the Navy of the United States
in the year 1898.
The demise of such man cannot fail lc
move The sorrows and sympathies of the
American People. Itrevives the memory o.
the past. and brings back the feelings of Joy
and gratitude which were wont to glow in
the heart Of every American whenever and
wherever the name Of Isaac Hull was men,
toned. It calls to mind the glorious victory
by him achieved in the Constitution over the
British Frigate Guerrero, which first won for
our Navy the hold which it has ever since
maintained in the affections Of the People.
In the words Of one ofhs physicians, 'in
his last moments he was true to his charac-
ter-calm, collected, and cheerful, fully pre-
prapered TO make that change which will
bring him 10 his God''
May that flag for which he fought so no.
bly,, ere long be spread to the breeze from
the masthead Of an American man .of-war
bearing his name. Nay his ashes rest in
peace, and his soul with its Creator.
