PERSONAL MENTION
| Mr.. Writ Skies, United States consul a
Cardiff England, whose death was an
nounced recently, was forty-seven years o
age. He was born at Wstertcwn, and ed
tied school paper at the age of ter. Hi
boyhood was spent on farm in Deerfeld
across the Mohawk from Utica. When six
teen years of age he was delivering temper
ance lectures in the principal towns D
New York. He began his editorial worl
in his sixteenth year, and from that day
onward he never ceased 10 maintain active
relations with the press. The Utica Her
aid says that at one time he was cOmpOs
| 1tor on that paper and later was connected
with the local department. He confined
| himself to no speciality, but wrote profuse
| ly in every field. If his contributions j,
fiction, poetry, philosophy, history, poll
tics, and art to the daily weekly, monthly
and quarterly press were gathered in bool
form, they would fill, it is said, fifty larg
| volumes. Roundabout authorities say hi
| wife Olive Logan and he were too muc(
| alike to be more than ordinarily happy.
