and seriously reduce the number OF the
worlds great men," others are sparing.

tics, literature and art.
No man Of supreme eminence has
passed away during the year, unless in
that number we include Cardinal New

est Democrats in Congress, and Judge
W. ID. Kelly, "the father of the House, I"

King OF Holland. William Ill, weose

although it is somewhat difficult to
classify him as a military man, politi-
clan or explorer, he was so much OF
everything.
In literary circles, the losses were also
light, and no death OF any really emil
| nent author occurred. Alexandra
