At q meeting of the executive committee
Of the American Colonization Society, held

consisting Of Messrs. James l.. Norris. Jo-
seph ]. Darlington and j. Ormond Wilson
the following minute of the death CT their

unanimously adopted:
Suddenly TO all of US. and to most of us
without any warning, comes the sad It'd
ngs of the demise of oura late associate,
DR.. William W. G0dding, who died on the
9th day of May. 1899. He became a mem
ber of the American Colonization Society
and WIS appointed a member of this eXecu-
tive committee in 1856 on which he served
contiD iously until the date of his death.
He brought to the discharge of his dulles
on this committee a hearty sympathy with
the objects of the society broad inteiii-
ecnce. sound judgment and 4 punctilious
attention to all the duties required of him.
Born down and oVerworked as he was by
his ever-increasing duties as the supcrin-
Jendent Of the Government Hospital for the
Insane. he was rarely absent from a meet
ing of this executive committee, and when
prevented from attending was careful to
write note stating the cause of his alb
scnce. He was ever ready to serve on sub
committees charged with special duties, and
always performed the work assigned to
him with the highest intelligence and fidel-
ity. Any office held by him was a trust of
the most sacred obligation, and he could
hold il on no other terms.
We shall greatly miss hrs counsels and
IaboIs in our official work, but far mora
sadly shall We miss the delightful compan-
iOEship of our beloved brother. AS an as
sociate so courteous and genial was he, so
considerable of the views and feelings of
Others that he bound all his co-workers to
him by the warmest and strongest ties of
love and friendship.
The lives so filed out as was his. with
the highest possible efforts are few He
appeared 10 realize the solemn injunction
of the preacher, Whatsoever thy hand
findeth to do, do it with thy might
We teader to the family of the deceased
our deepest sympathy in the great sorrow
| that has come to them

a copy of this minute to the family of Dr..

ous enough to warrant the change of course. The only way to handle the padre is to keep still, listen closely to what he says, and work the bluff for all it's worth. Unless 1 am very much mistaken, he'll make some kind of sug- gestion to me himself, especially if we mind our own business and are not seen much together. You'd better hang around the lower deck and smok- ing-room all day tomorrow. Cultivate Don Silvestre as if you were trying to get solid with him on his daughters account, and spend the rest of the time with the senorita. If she notices anything suspicious about the padre, she'll certainly tell you"
 After going over the prospective runs on the chart again, we both turned it; but I found it difficult to sleep. The next day seemed likely to be an eventful one, and was worried by the conviction that my friend was taking big chances of losing his com mand through the crazy speculation into which I had drawn him. Once I even got out of my bunk with the intention of waking him to advise the relirquishment of the whole affair, but lie was muttering about red lips, and Spain, and millions, in his sleep; so thought better of it, and turned in again.
