i745. After life Of honor and usefrll-
ness, he died in December, 1896, at a
military post on the shore Of Lake Erie,
Commander-in-chief of the Army OF tn e

his country and in the hearts of his
countrymen. His remains are here de-

Ernin Pasha. the African explorer,
who was the cause Of Henry NJ. Stan

charming little playmate. still in short

and did not marry. Long years after,
while attending the wife Of Ismail

many hardships in war and prison life,
