EDGAR Is. HARE.

This highly esteemed citizen died at
the home of his brother, James Z. Hart,
on Sunday afternoon last at o'clock
Mr.. Hart had been sick only fe"
days and fatal termination was not
expected so soon, although the disease,
Bright's disease, was certain to end as
it did.
Deceased would have been 40 years
old had he lived few days longer. He
was quiet and unobstrusive, exceed
ingly modest and retiring in DISPOSE
tion, but there were no scars on his
character. HIS life had been smooth
and even paced in all respects so far
as can be judged by outward indica-
tions, and he was consistent member
of the Baptist church, though not a
conspicuous one. His sins, if any, were
of omission rather than commission.
He was a good business man, con-
scientious and just in his dealings with
his fellow man, but without parade or
ostentation of virtue.

Chaplain Bussey.

Rev. Geo. w. Bussey, Of Parks
vile, is widely known through
out the State. He is a Baptist
minister wao is deservedly popular
with his denomination, and will
make an efficient and acceptable
chaplain. He has been preaching
in the neighborhood where he was
raised for a quarter of a century.
and has served continuously
where his parents, brothers, cousins
and other relatives constituted q
large pert of the church known as
Oak Grove. He has always taken
an active part in public affairs,
and has been chaplain OF the
military company at Parksyille
since its organization. Last fall
he went with the company in its
uniform as private to the State
Fair, and attracted much attention
by his soldierly bearing and
gentlemanly influence upon the
young men. He served as q boy
in the Confederate army, and is an
enthusiastic veteran of the Lost
Cause. His wife is a native of
Greenville County. He will make
q model chaplain, and he will look
after the spiritual welfare Of the
soldiers with diligence and
perseverance. His superior traits

surrounded by massive walls OF

tractive and tie city is favorite
place for Spanish sailors and sol
diers because of the fine climate
and other attractions.
The body of Ponce de Leon, who
died in Cuba of wounds received
from the Indians in Florida, was
brought to Porto Rico and depos-
tied in a lead case under the altar
Of the Church of Dominicans, and

romantic seeker of the fountain OF

"This narrow grave contains the

The revenues of Porto Rico have
averaged about 100000 a year,
but are nearly all sent to Spain.
Not more than $500,000 is spent on
the island, and most of that goes
to sustain q garrison of about TO-
900 soldiers. The exports and i'm
ports will average about $15,OOO,-
900 a year. A largo part of the
commerce is with the United
States.
The people of Porto Rico are
much more peacebly inclined
than those of Cuba. They have
bee fortunate in having a better
government. They have suffered
less from tyranny and taxation,
and the island is so small, the
people ere so compactly settled,
that they have been more easily
controlled by the military. There
have besn revolutionary outbreaks
from tine to time but none of
them were serious, and the people
have been kept in such state of
ignorance that they are scarcely
able to tell the difference between
good and bad government. The
Intelligent classes, being mostly
Spaniards have been loyal to the
mother country and frowned upon
political conspiracies. The Duke
of Veragua, a descendant of COL
rmbus, is a senator for life from
Porto Rico to the Spanish Cortes,
and he and his ancestors have
received pensions from the reven-
ues of the island for nearly 400

Mccoy and Corbett subsequently met
Corbett employed strong lnguage and the
Kid was not backward by any means with
emphatic replies. When the men came
from their consultation 1t had been mu-

however. said that Mccoy had agreed to
meet him. but wished to delay signing the
papers.
An hour after Mccoy left the ring last
night he had wired that he stood ready
to meet Goddard within a month.
Many who witnessed Fridays battle
expressed no doubt that Tommy Ryan
would have made better showing
against Mccoy than Rubin. Some of the
sports said that Ryan could whip the
