Gus for ability, accomplishing great undertakings

manding the confidence and respect of his superiors
and his subordnates. As friend he was character
istically loyal and true and as worthy of the
honors which came to him and the trust with which
he was dignfed.
Resolved, That sincerely deplore his loss, both
for the public service and social world since by his
death the Government loses valuable oiicer society

loving heart, and we a true friend. The memory OF
his excellences will outye our oicial life and the
Influence of his benefcent kindness will survive 10
US even though we see him no more.
