Harold Frederic is dead. Here Is
loss to letters He had written one great
novel, the "Damnation of Theron Ware
but he was still growing and gave prom
ise of being the very best product OF
America in literature. He died suddenly
of heart disease in England, where he was
the correspondent in London of the New
York Times. Only last Sunday that paper
contained bis usual contribution More
was expected Of him than of any modern
novelist and he had only begun TO enjoy
the fruits of his long training. America
loses most in his death, for his scenes
were chiefly laid in this country. His
pictures of the life of the smaller COM
munities here were far superior to any
drawn by Others Fate has been most
cruel in his death.

1t is said to be the intention Of the War
Department to send Col. Bryan and his
regiment TO Cuba early next month. This
would take Col Bryan out of the country
during the discussion and settlement of
the important questions growing out OF
the war Some people may see in this
move another deep laid plot to suppress
Col. Bryan. but so long as Col. Bryan re-
mains in the service OF the United States
he must obey orders and keep his own
counsel.
