When David was told that King Saul

..ISnoyv We not that prince and great

IN ali sincerity we think these words
RI much more applicable to the death Oh

death of King Saul. Saul was rom lhe
shoulders up greater than any OIL lsrael

sricuously great in almost every way s,,

Mentally. Bishop Whittle was man IN

gcie1r and luminous to deSree~~FareiS

SAVANNAH, GA, June 1s.-The Inter
state Bankers Convention adjourned to-
day after adopting a modified resolution
bearing on the Fowler banking bill. The
resolution regrets that Representative
Fowler could not be present to explain
the bill. and continues:
That while the said bill embraces
many admirable features, with the lights
before us we cannot endorse the same
We recommend to the members IF tnis
association that they give the !,:ii care
full study, so that at the proper time
and season they will be prepared 10 give
expression to their convictions on che
subject"
It was thought last night that the
Fowler bill would be condemned by res
olution. The abandonment of days of
grace on commercial paper was strongly
urged as was also the repeal or revision
Of the national bankruptcy law.

as a giant. His race seems to be

was giant. His race seems to be
dying out His clear perception OF
right or wrong. his profound conviction
as to the sinfulnesS Of sin, his absolute
confidence that there was no escape
from that sin except through the atom
ing death of our Lord. Jesus Christ, his
implicit acceptance of the Bible as the
inspired word of God, his answering IL
deity to the faith once for all deltv-
cred to the saints; all these things made
him marked man Of any generation,
but peculiarly so of a generation not I'M
matchable for the strength of its coa-
victionS.
AS a preacher Bishop Whittle was pre-
eminently conspicuous His spiritual IN
sight was remarkable, and his grasp
of the essential virtues of the Christian
faith was wonderful. His delivery was
unique; unlike that of any other man
purely and entirely his own. He rarely
spoke, until blindness began to aSsafl him,
without a manuscript, but no one ever
noticed that he had a manuscript. His
voice, manner, gestures. tone, appearance
all went to make a. remarkable personali-
ty. He preached with a power rarely
eaualled and possibly never exceiIed. His
theme was always Jesus Christ and Him
crucified; salvation by grace pure and
simple. He seldom preached less than
three quarters of an hour, often more
than that: but no congregation ever grew
tired or restless under his preaching; that
gave him undivided attention to the last
word.
AS an administrator of his Diocese.
Bishop Whittle was man of conspic1l-
Gus ability-wise. faithful fearless, I'M
firing. keeping in intimate touch with
all his work and coworkers. He formed
a diocese comprising the two States of
Virginia and West Virginia and with
about seven thousand commandments,
and when he died this work had been
divided into three dioceses and had near
ly thirty thousand communicates. He
saw six new churches built in the city
of Richmond alone, and lne church here
grow to half the size Of that in two
States when he was elected bishop. He
rests from his labors. but his works do
follow him.

Leaf Tobacco Association, which has its
headquarters in New York. The paper
has bearing upon the plan for Cuban
reciprocity, and the operations of the
American Tobacco Company, and is given
in the shape of an appeal to manufac-
turers Of cigars in the United States to
save their independence 1t is as follows:

tee on Relations with Cuba, Washing
ton, D. c.
.The National Cigar Leaf Association
is unanimous in favoring a, reduction on
raw materials in the interest of Cuban
reciprocity. A uniform duty is certainly
advisable. We, however, strenuously OPP
pose any reduction whatever on manufac-
t,,red articles of cigars and cigarettes.
The American Tobacco Trust has recently
acquired eighty per cent. Of the cigar
industry of Cuba, and it would be Sc
r,ous menace to every Independent manu-
facturer in this country If any oonces-
sions were given them on cigars and Gig
arettes. ~

One of the most prominent of the Epis-

had enjoyed close personal relations with
Bishop Whittle, said last night: Bishop
Whittle was not what the world would
term a brilliant man, but Strong
man. There was no mistaking his posi-
ton on any matter. He did what he
thought was right. There was no COM
promise, no giving away, no middle
ground. If thing was right, it was
right; If wrong, then it was wrong. If
he differed with you, he differed with you
radically. He knew only duty and right.
He preached, but he preached only

years, but in 1871 moved to this city,
where he had resided since.
