New YORK, May 3O.-Ward II. Goff,
president and general manager of the
American Export and Trading COM
pany, died Thursday night at his home
in this city. Almost simultaneously the
company was dispOssesSed from its
offices for the non-paymenJ of rent, de-
spite the fact that the advertised capital
Is S500.000. and the surplus. according to
treasurer'S annual report is S522, 900.
Con, 1t Will be remembered by the busi-
ness world, as man with remarkable
record. He first came into prominence
about thirty years ago, appearing in
Montreal as the agent of the Agricul-
tural Insurance Company of Watertown,
\. Y. Two or three years later he or
ganlzed the Canadian Agricultural In
surance company, with capital of
Sl,O0O,00O. This company went to pieces
with great loss to the stockholders.
During the same time he had various
other schemes in hand, among
them the Wingate Chemical COM
pany, International Express COM
pany, the National Insurance company.
and many others. His latest scheme
was the American Export and Trading
company, for which he procured char
ter In Colorado. The capital was $780,
600. The company was ''organized and
equipped for doing general and COM
mercial business throughout the South
and Central American republics" Rosy
statements were issued, and it was said
a private treaty had been made with
Ecuador, the terms of which awarded
to the company monopoly of all the
trade that passed through Ecuador's
custom houses. The death of Golf, how
ever, cut the company adrift, as the
treasurer had no money to pay rent or
salaries. The debts of the concern, in
addition to the interest of the stockhold-
ers, are probably not more than $780,

ln the morning, threw OFF the garb of
sadness in the afternoon, and in various
ways celebrated the day. There are a
few people opposed to this diversion
in the days services, belonging
that it should be solely devoted to re-
yiVing old memories and eulogizing the
heroic deeds of the dead. There is
much in this, but it seems that by
making the day serve a double purpose
Its end and aim is better assured. The
youth OF the land can be brought to the
graves of the departed warriors, and
afterwards their hearts can De stirred
by patriotic celebrations. BY such a
division the day will become more gen
ally observed by the people. Already
the national government and the state
governments have decreed that the day
be legal holiday, and gradually the
various business establishments are
falling into line. Yesterday there were
more business places closed in the after
noon than in any previous year, and
Oh all sides there were indications
that the day-aS day of general holi-
day-was growing i'll popularity among
the masses. Probably in no other coun-
try in the world could business houses
have closed universally, as was the case
yesterday. Here we have one indica-
ton of how powerful a hold the day and
the memories which cluster areand it
has obtained among citizens. While
the dry nature of the services robbed it
of much of the buster and roar so es-
sential to the proper observance of the
Fourth, there is every reason to believe
that Decoration day will yet become
quite as popular holiday as Independ-
ence day.
The weather yesterday contributed
much to the success of the days cele-
