A Proposition to Appropriately Honor
- His Memory

A Proposition to Appropriately Honor
= His Memory.
TdSthe Editor of the Globe.
1t is an old adage that ''blood is thicker
than water" and as general rule, this
adage is strongly exemplifed by our
wealthy fellow citizens in the distribution
of their fortunes by their last wills.
The exceptions to this rule are indeed
rare. And there has not been, perhaps in
the Union, SO rare an exception to this
rule as in the case of our late fellow
townsman Justus G. Ramsey who, having
lived an unmarried life himself, yet made
the 1notherless and fatherless children of
others-wbo indeed are, of all unfortunate
beings-the most in need Of kind
friends, equal heirs to his estate
with his blood relations, by his
munifcent requests to the Catholic and
Protestant Orphan asylums of this city,
each asylum sharing equally with the 9TH
er heirs. 1t has occurred to me that life
sized statue of the testator, surrounded by
those of group of little children with
smiling faces. placed in Rice park, dedicat-
ed to ''the beautiful and the good" would
not be an Inappropriate recognition by
our citizens of this noble, disinterested
and philanthropic act. And, at no distant
day, that an organization, to exist perpetu-
ally, should be put in operation by the
clergy of all denominations of our city,
with the cooperation of such ladies as
Mrs. Charlotte Van Cleve, Mrs. Emily
Mrs. Worthington, Mrs. P. II. Kelly,
Mrs. VIM. P. Murray and Mrs. Edmund
Rice, with others whose names are we'll
known for their philanthropic and Chris
ton work, that could be named, for the
purpose of procuring such statue as I
have referred to, and providing for its
care, and to arrange for the annual COM
memoration of the birthday of the de-
ceased, the 18th day of June. 1t is the
month of flowers, and the children of our
city would readily understand the pur-
pose of the observance, and it would be.
an affectionate and joyful duty for
them to participate in such
service annually, the memory of
him who was the orphans friend.
Such a monument as l have referred to,
appropriately designed, placed in our
beautiful little park, would be dearly cher
ished by all classes of our people, and
though silent, would be potent in its infu
snces for good.
The writer has learned from good au-
thority that Mr.. Ramsey conferred with
DIR. David Day, at the time, in regard to
making this bequest, and would it not be

PARIS, Dec. 90 1t is understood that the

following fresh basis for settlement of
the Tonquin question: The delta of the

Of the capture of Sontay to the senate, made
qualifications which somewhat modify the
impression produced by his first utterances.
He said that he dill not mean that
the town itself had been captured,
French troops having thus far only
succeeded in occupying the out
defanses. These dafenses, however, gave
the key to tie whole position and their pos
