God our hearts are so full Of sorrow at the
great loss we are called upon to bear, that II
Is with difficulty we can frame our sOrrOwful
thoughts into words: we have been called upon

a long term of years has been our constant
and loving companion and fellow worker
one who, during all Of our intimacy, has. by
kind acts and loving words so endeared him.

faithful heart and noble manliness.

fOrever-he Is only gone before little while,
and YOU will go to him.
Res01ged. Cd. That a copy Of these resOlu-

A Bureau or Academy Professors Ready
70 Furnish 1t Free

20 Furnish 1t Free
Members Of the Academy Of Natural
Sciences Of this city, says the Philadel-
phia Times, have undertaken the rather
singular work OF furnishing information
free to scientific students. They have
arranged bureau where questions may
be sent and each member in his own de-
partment VIII answer those which come
within his own special lines OF study.
Prof. Angelo HeiIprin Is Secretary OF the
bureau, and will superintend Its opera
tons so far as the reception OF inquiries ls
concerned. DR.. Joseph Leidy. Edward
Potts. DR.. Harrison Allen, DR.. j. Gibbons
Hunt and other well known Philadelphia
scientists are included in the list Of men,
bers.
The organization grew out of a desire
to increase the influence and value Of the
Academy, and TO make its researches
and knowledge Of value to others study
ing the sciences, in places where books
and catalogues are not accessible. Let
tiers have been received for many months
By members of the Academy asking for
information on various points, and, as iaI
al possible. they were answered promptly
Those who received them wanted to make
full and complete answers, but, without
any system. were sometimes unable 10 dc
so. 1t was suggested, finally. that letters
hearing on particular subjects be referred
TO those who had made them a particular
study, and, out Of the suggestion. grew
the grouping Of twenty different subjects,
with a member of the Academy in charge
Of each. Letters now are referred tC
their proper place at once, and answers
much more prompt and satisfactory re-
turned.
Since the commencement of the bu-
Teau, circulars have been sent out an
nOuncing its nature and inviting cores
pondence. The fact is emphasized that
the service is free. Mineral and chemical
analyses. for purely professional purposes
or other scientific work Of a business
character, are not undertaken. Several
departments of study not yet filled in the
bureau will be provided for as soon as
possible, and il will be the object Of the
members constantly to extend its scope

day OF the convention.
THE OPENING OUTLOOK.
The scenes at the MARSHALL House
after breakfast indicated that the
delegates were industrIously al

Is a very good thing, and where real merit
is advertised success is assured, but in
our days every little shebang with no adj
vantages to back it, advertise, and if you
believe everything you read you will GER

If YOU read all the advertisements of the
Savannah clothing stores, you would
think that they must be almost giving the
goods away, but if you try every one of
them you will find that the Famous New

The heading of our advertisement is
very appropriate when applied to our
trade, for there is constant war among
clothing dealers, especially this season of
the year. One will claim to do more than
the other. 1t is needless for US to say that
we are the cheapest and most popular
Clothiers in the city, for our past reputa-
ton speaks for our future, as we have
never failed to do what we say. We will
now inform the public that for the re-
mainder of this season we will offer great
inducements in the balance of our Sum
mer Stock. Straw and Manila Hats we
will sell at New York cost price, and
Clothing at a very small margin. All
