The death of this honored citizen oc-
cured at his residence, Meeting Street,
on Friday last. Deceased was during
all the years of his sojourn here most

of life he was equally an examplar.

architects. That one fact alone, indif-
ference to the work of others, is a
manifestation of inferior artistic in
stinct. The various architects en-
ployed upon St. Peters, Westminster.
and upon our capitol, worked with re-
spect to the original plans. They sought
symmetry and approximated perfection.
The original architect of the capitol,
the builder of the central structure.
was succeeded by Others who erected
the dome and completed the wings, in
harmony with the original design.
The editor referred to above says that
the architect who spo4ed the Pennsyl-
vania avenue front between Fifteenth
and Seventeenth streets, instead of
repeating as nearly as possible the
treasury facade on the other side of the
white house, which woald have made p
group unrivaIed in the world, throws
away this splendid artistic opportunity,
and. to the irrepara bic loss of the coun-
try and Of art, thrusts upon Us costly
concoction of stone, sheet iron and slate,
ugly, inconvenient and expensive to
keep in repair, which even n his own
eyes, could hardly have had any other
merit than the fact that he invented it.
But this work has been done, and cannot
be andone. The example, however.
should be a sufficient deterrent df

dered his associations to convene IN
Louisville on Tuesday, September 10,
for parade and review. Commander in
Chief William E. Bundy, of the Sons of
Veterans of the United States, has also
called the camps of his association to
meet on the same day for the same
purpose. Capt. j. w. Hammond has
been chosen to act as chief marshal of
the parade of naval veterans and Sons
of Veterans.
The grand parade will be on the 11th
and on that day it is expected that
there will be an influx of visitors such
as the city of Louisville has never be-
fore experienced. Commander in Chief
Lawler and many other distinguished
people will review the parade. On the
10th the encampment will convene for
the transaction of business, and then
the political pot, which has been mildly
ssimmering for several weeks, will begin
to boil in earnest, only to stop when

of the Illinois contingent which elected
Lawler in 1894. 1t is understood that
Gen. W. H. Powell, the recently
elected commander OF the department
of Illinois, will cast his vote and in
1uence for Col. Walker, and certainly
there are many prominent grand army
men in Chicago who will work for his
election.
In Indiana, where he is best known,
Col. Walker is very popular. and has
aIready recelvea high honors at the
hands of his comrades in his own state
He has an excellent war record, and his
life as a civilian has been such as to
command the respect and esteem of the
entire community in which he lives.
His friends claim that he is admira bly,
fitted for the post of commander in
chief, and they are anxious to pay him
the compliment of very large if not
practically unanimous vote.
But the comrades west of the Mis-
souri, river do not concede that Col.
Walker will have a walk-over in the
| convention. They have candidate Of
their own out there in the person of T.
S. Clarkson, of Lincoln, Neb., and they
promise that he will develop no little
strength when the voting begins. In
fact, they claim to have very strong
hopes of his election, based upon a can
vass which convinces them that he will
receive not only the united support of
the posts in the far west but that Of
many delegates from states east of the
Mississippi.
There are a number of candidates for
the offices of senior vice commander
and junior vice commander. 1t is Gus
| tomary to select for senior vice com
mander man residing in the city or
state in which the encampment is held,
and as there are several Kentucky as
pirants for the honor it may be re-
garded as foregone conclusion that a
Kentucky man will be elected. Prom

The word art has no more meaning
to a Hottentot than the word salvation
has to a pagan. The average mind in
civilized lands may also be said to be
barren of an adequate idea of the
meaning of the word. If the repre-
sentatives of the people are truly rep
resentative Of the average intelligence
and culture of the country, then the
word art must need much of defni-
ton and explanation to our people. No

campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic. This will be the first grand
army encanpment held south of the
Ohio river. The people of Louisville,
represented by a powerful citizens
committee, are sparing no effort to
make the occasion conspicuous in the
history of the order for genuine enjoy
Inent and unstinted hospitality. To
this end they have secured concessions
from railroads and hotels, and have
even arranged for free sleeping quar-
ters in schoolhouses and other build
ings, with the additional provision of
tents and barracks if necessary.
Col. Albert Scott is chairman of the
committee on accommodations, and this
in itself is regarded as ample assurance
that the visitors will be well taken care
of during their stay in Louisville. Col.
III. S. Cohn, as chairman of the commit
tee on parade and review, will see to it
that suitable horses and equipment are
provided for department commanders,
members of stats and others who will
require them in the parade. Capt.
Michael Minton is chairman of the COM
mittee which will have charge of all re-
unions of companies, batteries, regi-
ments, brigades and corps that may be
held during the encampment, and of
these there will doubtless be the usual
number.
1t is the intention of the citizens
committee to present an official badge
to each Of the delegates of the various
national organizations. These badges
are made from the blended metal Of
cannon given to the citizens commit
tee by an act of the United States con-
gress February %, 1895. Both cannon
were in actual service during the late
Nvar-one being used by the federal and
the other by the confederate forces
Official souvenirs made of the same ma
terial will also be distributed by the
committee.
At the request of the citizens COM
mittee Rear Admiral Francis B. Allen,
commander Of the National Association
