Henry Walker.

Resolutions of respect to the mem
DRY Of Henry Walker, adopted
by the Philomathesian Society
of the University of Tennessee,
Feb. 5, 1894.
Whereas Our Divine Father has
seen fit to remove from earth a
former member of this society,
Henry Walker, who died at his
home, Hurley, Hardin county, Ten
nessee, Jan. Goth. Therefore be it
Resolved by the Philomathesian
Society that the following is ex-
preston of our sentiments regard
ing his sad death:
Henry Walker was truly mod
ell young man. Death could not
have found more "shining
mark" He joined the Philama-
thesian Society upon his entrance
at the University in Sept. 1890,
and during the two years he spent
in College, he was one of our best
and most enthusiastic members.
He possessed in an eminent de-
gree the divine gift of oratory, and
as Philo always delighted to honor
him, he was selected to represent
her on many public occasions. AL
ways bringing honor to himself,
to the society and to the Uni
versity.
But it was not for this alone
that we learned to love him. His
earnestness, his brilliant intellect,
his fearlessness in defense of right
and his christian walk and con-
versatiOn "bound him to us with
bonds of STEEL"
But he is gone! And while we
deeply deplore his early death, yet
we feel that his life was not in
vain. We are nobler by our fell
lowsip with him. Therefore be it
further
Resolved that we bow suhmis-
sively to the will of Our Father,
who, although his providencies
are often sad and inscrutable, can
not err.
Resolved further that we tender
to the bereaved family our con-
dolence in this season of sadness
and sorrow.
Resolved also, that as a mark
of respect to the deceased and as
a demonstration of our sorrow,
we drape our Hall for thirty days,
that a copy of these resolutions
be spread upon a page of our
minutes, copy sent to the family
of the deceased, and a copy fur
nished the Tennessee University
Student the Knoxville papers and
the Savannah COURIER.
{ Presented by JNo. r. CoTHUAN
I and unanimously adopted by
the Society.

A TRANscoNTINENTAL BOULEVARD.
DIR. John T. Nagle's Plan For Furnishing
Employment to Men Out of Work

DR.. John T. Nagle's Plan For Furnishing
Employment to Men Out of Work
DR.. John T. Nagle, registrar of vital
statistics, has come out with novel
suggestion for furnishing work TO the
unemployed. He advocates the build
ing of a great transcontinental boule-
ward to extend from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, in the building of which each
state through which the boulevard
passed should contribute its share for
the employment of labor.
81 have had the idea in mind for
some time" DR.. Maggie said, land 1
feel sure that gigantic as would be the
scheme it would pay in the end. Such
a boulevard, laid out with macadam-
lied roa dway and with ornamental trees
along its walks, would certainly en-
nance the value of property in its i'm
mediate vicinity. 1t would furnish
driveway for the owners of fast horses
all over the country, and the bicycle
riders would be there by the thousands.
There might be a million of these riders
on the road at one time. The boulevard
would be one of the greatest sights in
Christendom. There would be inns at
different points along its entire length.
Mansions would be built along its route
too. The construction of such a road
way would give employment to hun
dreds of thousands of workmen and
keep them busy for two years at least.
81 do not believe that it is a mere
Utopian dream. Anybody who has
been in the City of Mexico and has seen
the superb boulevard leading for miles
out from that city, with its giant Gu
calyptus trees and other monuments, can
readily imagine what magnificent
thing such boulevard would be. En-
gineers will tell you that the idea is
practical, and that the cost would be
nothing compared to the benefit that
would accrue from its construction. ;"

Transatlantic Mail Service.

The discussion of the question of
American mail routes, which is peren-
nially revived in the English newspa-
pers, has at last taken a common sense
turn. The British postal authorities are
being roundly denounced because they
refuse to send the mails in fast steam
ers unless they carry the British flag.
Twice last month the Saturday mails
were sent ON a slow Cunarder, when
they might have reached New York
two days earlier if dispatched by the
American line. The fast German boats
leaving southampton on Sunday and
Thursday get no mail, except specially
addressed correspondence. The British
authorities persist in limiting the mails
to America to two per week, although
four weekly mails are sent from New
York. The protest is becoming so loud
that it is barely possible that a reform
may be effected in the course of time.
