JANsEy OF SHANGHAI IS DEAD.
One OF tho Most Active Americans In tho
East. Whom Everyhody Knew.

Fast, Whom Everybody Knew.
A copy of the North China Daily NeWs just re-
ceived brings account of the death of Mr.. II.
G. Jansen in Shanghai on Dec. o. He was one OF
the most cons picuous Americans in the far East
a member of the municipal council of Shanghai,
and the proprietor of the Astor House Hotel in
that place. the largest and finest hotel in our
antipodes. He proud to call himself "A
North River Dutchman." having been born be-
side the Hudson in either Orange or Ulster
county perhaps sixty years ago.
But he was better than n North River Dutch
man; he was a true American, who was stirred
with Indignation by the neglect of our citizens
in Asia b. our Government during the present
Administration. He began life as n sailor. on
the Hudson at first and then on the sea. Going
to China thirty years ago. he entered the Gus.
toms service there. He left the Government
employ To begin the building up of that peculia
hotel whose great halls and theatre and gardens
and beautiful court crowded with flowers Will
ever remain bright picture in the minds OF
those who have visited China.
He was ~ manys!ded rs Yankee and quite
as active He wrote for the press at home, mas
tered Chinese and shorthand, knew the birds
loves nature. He was n leading kreemason, and
sought to prove himself the kindest friend that
many hundreds OF American travellers found in
the East. In his death the United States loses a
sturdy champion, the Government OF the little
republic of Shanghai loses its most active
member. and the public library and mu-
leaves wife and a large family Of
promising children. His death causes another
shrinkaGs OF American influence in Shanghai.
The old shipping house OF Russell * Go. was the
largest establishment Of its kind in China; the
Astor House Hotel was the largest OF Its kind.

Shall we Meet Again ?

The following is one Of the most brilliant
paragraphs ever written by the lamented
george ID. Prentice: :.
"The fiat Of death is ineXorable. There Is
no appeal from the great law which dooms as
to the dust. We flourish and fade as the
leaves of the forest and flowers that bloom,
WIther and fade in O day, have no fra Ter hold
on life than the mightiest monarch that ever
shook The earth with his footsteps. Genera
tions of men will appear and disappear as
grass and the multitudes that throng the
world to-day will disappear as footsteps on
The shore Men seldom think Of the great
events of death until the shadow falls across
their own pathway, hiding from their eyes the
faces of loved ones whose living smiles was
the sunlight of their existence. Death is the
antap oniSt of life and the thought OF the TOMB
is the skeleton Of all feasts. We do not want
To 90 through the dark valley, although the
dark passage may lead 10 paradise, we do not
want 10 90 down into the damp graves, even
with princes for bed fellows. In the beautiful
drama of Ion the hope Of immortality, SO
eloouently uttered by the death devoted
Greek, finds deep repose In every thoughliul
soul, When about 10 yield his life sacri1ce
TO fate, his Clementhe asks If they Should
meet again, to which he responds: u nave
ask ed that dreadful question OF the hills mat
Iook eternal-of the clear streams that now
roreyer-of the stars among whose fields oil
azure NV raised spirits have walked in glory.
Ali are dumb. But as gazed upon tiny living
face. feel that there is something In love that
mantles through It's beauty that cannot whoi.
y perish. We shall meet again, Clementhe.
