I'M regard TO the death Of the late pres
ident OF the company. Major Fred Z.

Mr.. r. +. Newcomer offered the fol-
lowing resolutions. which were duly sec
ondcd and unanimously adopted, to-wlt:
Resolved. That the members or this
Board have heard with profound regret
and sorrow Of the death Of Major Fred
erick Robert Scott. the president OF tbs
company, who died At his residence IN
the city Of Richmond. Va, al 3 o'clock
in the afternoon OF Sunday, May the
18th. A. d., 1888.
Major Scott was first elected president
Of this 10 in the year 1913 and at
each succeeding annual meeting OF the
stockholders ne has been unanimously
reelected. thus holding that responsible
position for the extraordinary period or
a olarter Of a century without Interrupt
ton.
or his personal character and exem-
plarv life too much cannot be SAID In
praise or commentator. His sterling In
tegrity ana honorable ~uprightness In all
his transactions with his fellow men
were universally recognized.
AS the chief executive OF this company
he has been always faithful in the dis
charge OF the duties Of his once. and

est and promoting its prosperity, and
those OF us who have been closely asso-
ciated with him in It's management bear
grateful testimony TO his worth and

tions OF the Board OF Directors or the

acteristlcs. they say:
'In everything he undertook, Major
Scott was one OF the most conscientious,
~methodical and exact Of men. His con-
duct and course Of action were never the
| result OF mere temporary Impulse and
ephemeral feeling. but ways directed by
clear. deliberate judgment exercised only
after a careful and p~ainstaking investi-
| CATION Of the facts. and exercised always
in accordance with his idea OF justice and
right. Few men had such strong will.
and such perfect self-reliance and self
control; fewer still have lived so abso-
lutely free from prejudice and incapable
OF malice
Resolved. That we extend to the family
| ~ Major Scott our sincere sympathy in
the great loss they ave sustained.
Resolved. That the Secretary Is hereby
directed to cause a copy OF these pro-
| ceedlngs to be transmitted 10 the family.

GLADSTONE IN RETIREMENT.
Mr.. Gladstone In the retirement OF prf-
vate life. gave that final evidence OF the
decadence OF mental power and OF the
abrldgment OF political authority. Hs
wrote letters. A little while ago II was
a curt acknowledgment OF a book In
which the authors attempted to recon-
cile the conflicting facts OF incontrovert-
ible science and inspired religion. and
in which the grand old man" made u
rlear that, In his estimation. religion
needed no apologist in natural science.
and that he accepted revelation, literally.
from first 10 last. One OF his letters was
directed against the turks and his out
rageous treatment of the Christian Ar
uenian. II smacked OF the politician
from beginning to end and served only
to call 10 mind the contrast between pro-
life promise and scanty fulhllment,
which characterized the government
which ne led TO defeat.
The Temple OF Peace as Mr.. Glad
stones workshop Is Familiarity called. Is
an Ideal library, and there for an aver
age of ten hours a day England's grand
old man could be found In converse
with the old sages and philosophers"
This apartment was added TO the house
more than thirty years ago, when the
library. being already full, the pressure
of incoming volumes MADE furtnSf space
a matter OF absolute necessity. The
name was given TO IL az a kind OF pledge
OF sanctity. Conversation in the ordi-
nary sense Of the word was forbidden
within its four walls. Any member or
the family or friend staying In the house
was at liberty TO make use OF the room
on condition OF silence. and such was the
absorption OF its master In his work that
he did not even look up when. one enter
ed. but wrote or read on unaware OF
their presence. Two writing tables COM
monty called knee tables. stand at n
end OF the room, and n third. used by
Mrs. Gladstone. at the other. Mr.. Glad
stone always used the n standing In
the window as his literary table. which
he considered his play table. and the
other. near the fire. as his business table.
The arrangement OF his drawers reveals
a wonder OF order and method for so
perfectly were his papers disposed that
he could lay mis- finger az any moment
upon any paper or other object required.
In the corner. near the fire place. are
the arm chair and sofa, On which he
did most OF his reading, and while thus
engaged a black Pomeranian named PITT
was generally curled up az his feet. the
beautiful carpet was presented BY
the K~iddermlnster factory. the weighing
machine by the Women's Liberal Associa-
ton at Oxford. and many other gifts
adorn the room.
