DEATH OF hR. RoBERF SLARK.-An old citizen
end merchant OF New Orleans has gone TO his
last rest Mr.. Robert Stark a respected and we'll
known hardware merchant OF the city died In
New York yesterday. Mr.. Stark had attained the
good old age Of 70. BE was Q native of Shelf
field, England, but had resided in this city for
more than fifty years. He came here when q
young man, and had been for long time mer-
chant who reflected credit upon his profession.
He was always distinguished for his integrity in
business his unsnled private character, the scru-
pulous honesty which actuated his every act, and
the unostsntatiousness OF those deeds of private
charity and benevolence by which he illustrated
his sympathy with the misfortunes Of his fellow
men. As long ago as 1917 he was q clerk in the
hardware house Of Beatty & Gresves. In 1924 he
was clerk of Augustus Whiting. He afterwards
became q partner in the firm of A. Whiting & Co.,
who carried on business on Canal street at the
same place where the present weIknown house
of Shark, stsufer & Co. are engaged in mercan-
tile pursuits. The house was for some time
known as Shark, Day & Sunderland is now
known as Stark, Stauffer & Co.
Mr.. Shark was one Of the Oldest and most hon.
ored merchants, and best citizens OF New Orleans,
and his death is loss to our community which we
join with his family and friends in most sincerely
deploring. He had reached the age when it was
to be expected that bis business on earth would
be inishedbut II is none the less to be regretted
that one who has been SO long identified with New
Orleans, and has done SO much TO illustrate the
character OF our merchants for public enterprise,
integrity and private benevoence, should be
called away from the commercial and social cir
Giles Of our city.

John Hickman, of Pennsylvania, writes an
affecting and perturbed letter, in which he
expresses great fears for the future, because
the Republican party does not assume "po-
sition which God clearly intends they shall
occupy" This illuminated and gifted mortal
does not inform Us how he obtained view of
the Divine intentions in this regard, but We
are willing 20 admit that the Republican
party does not occupy the position referred to.
Such position, however, would be very un-
pleasant to MIR. John Hickman and his Re
publican friends. and hence he ought to be
thankful rather than regretf1l, that the Divine
wiz is not yet consummated.
