JOHN B. WRIGHT.
Rev. D. A. BIose Writes of His
Excellence as a Man.

TO the testimony of many others to
the sterling, upright, progressive, re-
fined character of j. B. Wright, ESQ,
humbly wish to add my plaudit. His
manhood was structural. 1t was in
the warp and woof of his mora, tissue.
To be good was spontaneous. TO do
good was to follow a natural impulse.
His spirit was one of cheer, and love,
and beauty, and power, giving the hui
man soul its finest aud amplest express
sion. Such d spirit is life, light, heat,
intelligence and power. BY instinct it
ascends swiftly upward to spiritual
ideas and laws. 1t commits self TO
that which it values as infinitely above
all the interests of self. 1t is devoted
to truth, moral beauty, and goodness.
Mr.. Wright had no fear of death. The
idea of death was lost in his intense
consciousness Of living full, rich,
joyous, benevolent, Christian life.
He felt his immortality, and lived
each day as one might wish he had
lived, thousand years after this
playhouse has crumbled back into us
primitive dust. He rises before the
eye of my soul today, one of the
company Of immortals from the battle
fields of unselfish fame-one Of the
select spirits of the Just made per-
feet. a man of distinction, of true
ability, of character full of the wine of
life, surcharged with an electric man
hood, j. b. Wright did not discourage
nor humiliate any one. He was an
inspiration to all who knew him. In
the majesty of personal humility his
life was uplifting. He needs no mon
ument of granite or marble or any
other material to mark the resting
place of his mortal remains. to keep
his memory green in the hearts of

And it's better than a circus when
the minstrels come to town.
There's a shifting in the tree tops,
and the small boy gives whoop,
Far through the dust and distance
he has spied the coming troupe
The end men and the tenors, the stars
of song renown,
A blaze of checks and talent when
the minstrels come to town.
The band is drawing nearer; there's
music in the air,
The major spins his baton, dozen
trumpets blare,
And every yormgster schreeches, but
thunder couldn't drown
The band that marches past you when
the Ministries coGe to town.
The drum dies in the distance, the
troupe is out of sight,
and every one Is thinking about the
show at night.
The Town hall will be crowded, we
plank our dollars down
To hear the songs and chestnuts when
the minstrels come to town.

views have been made there has been
considerable railway construction in the
Argentine Republic, Paraguay, Uruguay
and Chile that would be available. and
the Argentine system now lacks only a
few miles of being connected with the
existing Bolivian railways, thus filing
up one of the most difficult gaps in tie
entire line
Those interested in the project are
especially anxious to have the line built
down as far as the site of the Panama
canal with the least possible delay. It
is realized that If the road could be in
operation during the building of the
canal it would have a great deal Of
traffic for the United States govern
ment, and on the completion of the
canal it would do a large business in
traffic between ports on the west coast
of Central and South America and the
United States, the traffic being by rail
between Panama and the United States
and by steamer the remainder of the
distance. To complete the line to the
canal site would require the building Of
something more than 1000 miles of
railway. The Mexican system is now
in operation as far as the isthmus of
Tehauntepec, and is being extended to
the boundary of Guatemala. There are
few little pieces of road through the
Central American countries that could
be utilized. and there is no doubt that
the line could be running to the canal
site in ample time to be OF great use
