THOMAS O'BRIEN'S WILL.
His Estate Bequeathed to the rlem
bers of His Family.

The will of the late Thomas O'Brien
has been filed in the Clerks Office, and
his son, Thomas F. O'Brian, has petit
toned the Superior Court to admit it

He directs that his wife shall discharge
the mortgage on the block between E,
F, Twenty eighth and Twenty ninth

The herald., 1897-02-01
ROBERT E. LEE

The war Is over The last hater has
furled the bloody shirt and laid 1t away.
The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune has
been in the habit Of working itself into
epasms not less than three times a week
for g. third of a century over southern
rebels" but it is now thoroughly and
altogether reconstructed. converted and
redeemed, as the following shows: Last
Tuesday was the anniversary of the
birth of Robert E. Lee the distinguished
general who contributed so much to the
military strength of the southern con-
federacy. 1t was sacred day to those
in the south whose part in that terrible
struggle brought them close to their
great commander. and to all those
whose sympathies and interests were
with the cause he represented. Moth
ing can be said to strengthen the bonds
of affection with which his memory is
held in southern homes, but the time is
ripe for the full recognition by all Sec
tions Of the brilliant military abilities
and the splendid character Of the man.
"At West Point Robert E. Lee never re-
ceived a demerit. He had a mind to
compass all the studies put before him
and the true soldiers respect for every
measure or order of discipline. When
the movement that finally eliminated
in the organization of the confederacy
was projected, he was trusted officer
of the United States army, and, like
General Albert Sidney Johnston, it was
not SO much his belief in the business Of
the cause of the rebellion as his affec-
tionate attachment to his state that
caused him to relinquish his promising
position and cast his lot with his state,
his family and his people.
"This was the only conspicuous error
of his career. His private life was
blameless, and he died as he lived, a
Christian gentleman. His record as
commander marks him a worthy de-
scendant of Light Horse" Harry. and
history will recognize him among the
worlds greatest soldiers. There can be
little doubt that had not state and per-
sonal attachments won him away from
his sworn allegiance to the Stars and
Stripes, he might have occupied high
place not only in the military history of
A. I,,,ki iv,t thA airyta n =
ical history that followed Appomattox.
1.-THE day has surely come when all the
people of the north. overlooking the
wrong they cannot but believe was done
the nation by the great rebellion, may
join the people of the south in tribute to
Robert E. Lee, the man, for in this char
acter he stood in the front rank of Amer
lean citizens"
