GENERAL MAURY'S DEATH,

The oath in Virginia of General
Dabner Herndon Maury removes
the last notable member of the
famous class that graduated at
West Point Military Academy in
1916. Among the other famous
members of that class were Stone
wall Jackson, George B. Nc.
Clellan, George E. Pickett, Sam
uel B. Maxey and Samuel D.
Sturgiss.
A Northern paper. the Chicago
Tribune, pays Gen. Maury this
tribute: General Maury was one
of the most successful, if not one
of the most famous, officers in the
service Of the Confederate States.
He won his spurs in Mexico and
later in Indian warfare on the
frontier. At one time he temper
arily checked Grants advance in
Northern Mississippi, and with
Gen. Stephen D. Lee repulsed
Sherman at Chickasaw Bluff. At
the storming of Corinth he lost
1000 men and displayed the ut
most personal bravery. His sue
cesses caused the Confederate
government to give him the rank
of Major-G General and to put him
in command of the Army of the
Gulf. After the civil war he held
office under the Federal govern
ment, and has written much of
interest. His death leaves still
living but a few of the general
officers of the Confederacy."

A TEACHER OF TRUTH AND
BEAUTY.

John RuSkln had been so long
retired from active work that his
death creates no void, except in
the very short list of living
masters of English prose. But
bis work, his true work, lives
and will live. It was one Of the
great spiritual forces Of his gen.
GRAFTON, aud though the world
did not and could not accept his
social philosophy, its underlying
impulse Of tru b, purity and
sacrifice. and The high ideals
which he perpetually proclaim>
ed, have been helpfully vitaliz-
ing to the best aspirations of
mankind.
It is impossible to separate
Mr.. Ruskin's character as an
aesthetic teacher from that Of a
preacher of righteousness. He
counted himself a disciple Of
Carlyle, but their view of life
was absolutely contrasted. and
if Ruskiu had done no other SER
vice to bis race. that which he
did to awaken in our minds the
sense of beauty. to guide them
to a truer appreciation Of nature,
a truer view of art, a truer I'M
derstanding of the dignity and
capacity of labor, a truer and
higher conception Of the pur-
poses of life, would have placed
him securely among the master
teachers Of his tine.
The actual effect Of Ruskin's
infuence can be judged only in
retrospect. We must go back
10 the period of "Modern Pain
Iers" and measure the changes
from that time. All the fine arts
Of to>day, and all the applica-
lions of art in our daily life, owe
more to him than they owe to
any painter. sculptor or architect.
1t is true that the world is no
bearer the beautiful Utopia he
always had in view. In his later
days he came to think it farther
away than before. But a great
teacher has not failed because the
world is not converted to his
standard. He only fails when he
has lowered that standard, and
that Ruskin never did.
The vagaries which had no log
ical connection with the message
he had to deliver we can afford to
forget. Many things to which he
attached exaggerated importance
are already forgotten. But the
message itself was a living mes
sage, and his bookshelf the
least of the master works of VIC
torian Observation-Disclosures a treas
ure house of spiritual beauty,
that not alone enriched his own
generation but will continue to
enrich the generation to come.

The business Of life insurance
is one Of the really mammoth in
situations Of this country-prob-
able due to the fact that it has it's
foundations deep in the hearts of
the people and is conducted, by
the truly great and reputable COM
panies, at least, on the soundest
mathematical calculation; hence
the secret Of their marvellous &C
cumulations. The history of no
company in the realm Of Life In
surance compares with the bril-
liant record of the Provident

dency of Edward W. Scott, and

most palatable mineral water they
ever drank, besides combining
sulphur, iron and other minerals
in such quantities as to make it a
most powerful tonic. as we'll as a

COMMITTEE BEGINS WORK.
Isthmian Canals Eject on savannah
Discussed.

OtScuSSeO.
The committee frcm the Two trade bodies
appointed by the Mayor last week for the
purpose of carrying the resolutions adopt
ed by the meeting at the City Exchange
May a. after the address of Prof. Emory
r. Johnson upon the isthmian canal, held
its first meeting at the Mayors office res-
terday afternoon.
The purpose of the committee is
to gather statistics to be used by
Prof. Johnson in illustrating the
value of the canal to the Southeastern
states. Among the members present were
Mr.. ]. p. Williams. Mr.. G. e. Dickinson,
Mr.. w. 7. Williams, Mr.. L. c. Battey,
Mr.. J. B. Chestnut and Mr.. A. Wibert.
Temporary organization was perfected
by the election of Mr. Dixon as mporary
chairman and Mr.. Thomas Gamble as tenn
porary secretary. A half hour or more
was spent in Informal discussion as TO the
character of the information to be obtained
and the best means of obtaining il. 1t was
decided to invite Messrs r. H. Hinton,
traffic manager of the Ocean Steamship
Company; j. j. Carolan, agent of the
Merchants and Miners Transpoy ia ion
Company, and Mr.. J. +. Churchill to be-
come members of the committee, with the
belief that they will be able 20 render the
committee valuable assistance in furnis h
ing information as to the character cf
shipments from this port and the routes
taken by such shipments, and also as 10
the manner in which the commerce Of the
port would be affected by the opening CT
the isthmian canal.
Mr. Battey stated that shipments of cot
ton and cotton goods, phosphate rock and
naval stores were already being made from
this port to China and Japan and that he
had obtained figures as 10 the character
and amount of these shipments from the
Custom House. In a general way The
members of the committee were OF the
opinion that an isthmian canal would re-
suit in considerable shipments of this sort
from this port to the Orient though the
shipments might not be In sufficient quar~
titles at first to warrant separate cargoes
and the goods might have 10 be reshippe1
at New York OF other ports. The opinion
was also expressed that a considerable
business in the way of lumber and navel
stores would be developed with California
and the Pacific coast.
The committee adjourned to meet Men

committees be appointed to take up the

H. &. & u. wants n New Trial in DAM

In the Sueprior Court Yesterday Messrs.
Denmark, Adams & Freeman, attorneys
for the defendant in the recently tried and
determined case of Collins, Grayson & Co.
against the Florida Central and Peninsu-
lar Railroad, filed motion for new
trial.
When the case, which was an action of

to a carload of cabbage belonging to the
plaintiffs by reason of the negligent and
careless handling of the servants and
agents of the defendant was tried. the
jury brought in a verdict for the plainuffs.
The motion for a new trial is on the
ground that the verdict was contrary to
the evidence and 10 the charge of the
court.
Mr.. r. l. Colding, who represents the
plaintiffs, has agreed with the defendants
counsel, that thirty days shall be allowed
to file brief of evidence in the case and
that the motion may be amended and new
grounds added under the legal and usual
restrictions in such cases.
