If there is such a thing as being an
authority on death, DR.. Thomas II.
Andrews of Philadelphia, should rank
high as an expert. He has seen over
1000 persons die. In giving the re-
suit of his observations recently, ne
said:
Nature is never so kind to man as
when she is severing the ties that bind
him to this earthly life. She removes
all fear, ameliorates every harsh sur
rounding, softens every sound and
smooths the narrow pathway to the
grave with kindly hands. The easiest
thing in life is to die. In severe sick
ness death comes as a welcome visitor.
On the battlefield or as the result Of
accident or sudden shock, when it
comes to a man swiftly, who but
moment before was in perfect health
and half an hour later will be dead, a
fortitude which l cannot describe and
have never been able to analyZe suS
tains the victim.
1.-The scientist, the man or woman of
keen intelligence and trained faculties,
unless their lives have been conspicu
Gus for an exhibition of faith in re-
ligion and it's teachings, are slower to
accept the ministrations of clergymen
and others. The man of low intelli-
gence yields at the first approach and
calls for religious consolation. The
reason for this is, think that the vast
majority of professional men, outside
of the clergy, and particularly the doc
tors and scientists generally, are not
inclined to believe or accept what they
cannot demonstrate as a scientific fact.
And yet, as a rule, these men and wo-
men willingly accept religious minis
tration when death is only a matter of
hours.

One of the most distinguished men
in the confederacy was brought to me

The Watch Dial Numerals

If you were told to correctly write
the numerals which appear on the face
of your watch without consulting your
timepiece, you would not consider the
task difficult You look upon the dial
of your ticker dozen or more times
a day, yet the chances are that not one
of 100 people would write the numerals
correctly. II they were in the Roman
form you would write 1, II, III, w.,
etc. Here you would be wrong. The
four on your watch is expressed iii.
IL in the Arabic, you would write from
to IL. Wrong again, for on nearly
all watches which have a second hand
there is no six. Such little catches
show that our faculty Of observation
is not always fully developed.

HOW "
MEN DIE

was one of the most brilliant and
charming men | ever met. | told him
that he could not live and asked him
if he desired to talk with clergyman.
He replied in a rather careless way
that he did not feel disposed to change
his yiewS-that death. as he believed,
ended all, and there was no use drag
ging religion in at the last hour. That
was in the morning. He then felt
strong and clear-headed. When 1 saw
him in the afternoon he was weaker,
and referring to our earlier cOnversa-
ton told me that he had been raised in
the Methodist faith and that its teach
ingS had left an impress on his mind.
He asked me to send for a Methodist
clergyman, which I did. When l saw
him just before he died he told me
what comfort the talk with the minis
ter had given him and that he would
now face death with a drawer heart
than he could have done before.
Il merely cite this instance" said
d.. Andrews. Ito show that there is
nothing which influences a man so
much in later life, and even in the
death hour, as the environment and
teaching of his boyhood days. Jimmy
LogUe, the notorious burglar and
criminal, told me here in my office that
that he did not kneel down and say his
prayers.
81 have found" continued DR.. An
drews, that persons of clean life of
honorable, upright religious character,
not only do not display an Indifference
to the approach of death, as those of
grosser life do, but welcome it as a re-
lief from care and toll. There is some
thing about the approach of death
that reconciles a man to it. The senses
are dulled, the perceptive faculties
blunted. and the end comes quietly,
painlessly, like a gentle Sleep"

not. The dead man is believed to have
been a tramp, but this will not be

WILL CONSIDER DELAY.
Meeting of Cotton Men Will Be Held
To-day at Noon.

To-day at Noon.
A meeting of the Cotton Exchange
will be held to-day at noon for the con-
sideration of the delay that is found in
getting cotton to Savannah for ship
ment by vessels. Some have held that
this delay has been due to the failure
of the congresses to handle the cotton
as rapidly as they should, while others
have attributed it to the scarcity of
cars and the consequent inability of
the railroads to move the cotton.
Talks with cotton men yesterday in
Dictated that it was their view that the
situation had been considerably reliev-
ed within the last few days. One COM
mission merchant said that it was now
possible to order cotton from Americas
or that section and have it delivered
here within three days, whereas some
days ago it was apparently impossible
to get cotton from the same section
within six days This, he thought, was
a decided improvement.
A prominent broker said that the
trouble Savannah is having is expert
enced by other ports, as reports show
that their receipts have been short.
They, too. have been suffering from
congestion. The broker considered, as
did the commission merchant, that the
situation has eased up a bit, but he
thought it well enough that a meeting
should be held for its consideration.
The broker was not inclined to hold
either the congresses or the railroads
entirely accountable for delays. He
ascribed, them to the rapid maturing of
cotton and the consequent rush TO the
congresses. Where a compress has
been congested, he said the railroads
have shown a commendable desire to
aid by carrying the cotton to other
places to be pressed. When there was
too great a rush at Thomasville, for
instance, cotton was brought to Savan-
nah to be pressed. From Americas a
few days ago, it was carried to Macon,
thus relieving the congestion at the
former place.
