BY the death OF Mr.. George
Hazelton which occurred ut his
late residence on Lock avenue,
shortly after noon last Sunday,
Louisa lost a most excellent citizen.
He was taken sick last November,
shortly after the death Of his
father, and In spite OF all that
could be done to restore him to
health he grew steadily worse I'M
Ill death closed the scene.
Mr.. Hazelton came 10 Louisa
about six years ago as clork In the
United States Engineer office at
this place, which position he held
until falling health compelled him
to leave the Office. He was a first
class man for the position, being u
fine penman, an expert accountant,
familiar with the work and routine
OF the engineer o!llce In all lis
departments.
The malady OF which MIR. Hazel
ton died was the rare and incura-
BILE one known as Addison's
disease.
Mr.. HAzelton came to Louisa an
entire stranger, but such were his
many admirable traits OF character
that he soon made many friends.
He was very genial ana compan-
lonable, fond OF music and society,
and his hospltablc home was even
,0pon to his host Of relatives and
friends.
In the home circle Mr.. Hazelton
was . model husband, father, son
and brother. 1t was In the house
Of the son that tho aged father
slckoned and died, being minister
cd TO by iillal hands, and IN this
same house the widowed mother
was tenderly watched and cared
for by the son taken from her
while yet In the prime OF his early
manhood. The comfort and hap
pluess OF his family were always
uppOrmost in Mr.. Huzelton's mind
lilo died as above stated on Sun
day last, and ON the following day
the body was taken 10 Cincinnati
whore he WIS born about forty
seven years ago. II was accom-
panied by hts widow, his agec
mother, his daughter, Miss Myra,
and his sister Miss Laura Hazelton
Mr. Il. F. Thomas also accompani
cd the family. The News is in
formed that the future home OF th'
family viii be In Cincinnati, Thu
by death and removal Louisa sui
fers a great loss, and we voice thu
tho regret Of the community OF

THE HARVARD "nELEAGER"
Most Valuable Original Greek Statue
 in America.

Cambridge. Mass.-There are in this country several notable collections of interesting objects, large and small, from the classic lands. such as the peshola collection of antiquities from Cyprus, now in the Metropolitan Mu- aeum of Art, New York. the recently acquired and immensely valuable Bart lett collection In the Boston Museum of Fines Arts. and the figurines from Greek islands in the Chicago Art Insti- thte. The number of large sized au- thentic statues is nevertheless, small. and most of these would not be ac- corded high rank in any great Euro pean gallery. Undoubtedly the most notable single Greek original in the United States is the statue of Me,eag- CT, of rather more than life size, depos- ited not long ago in the Fogg Museum of Art of Harvard university. It is far and away the most famous among perhaps half a dozen pieces of Greek statuary in American museums which would be entitled to special mention in any handbook of ancient art.
 It's money value? That is something no one can tell-not even to satisfy the Americans natural desire to know what thing cost. One can only state that the Meleager is worth whatever 1t would fetch, and from the point of view of the artist and art amateur very much more. To say that it's value Is one hundred thousand dollars or one million dollars, means nothing. Enough that this is in the estimation of com petent art critics the most valuable piece of original statuary in the United States; that it was found several years ago at San Marinella. thirty miles from Rome, and about 100 yards from the spot where the Meleager now in the British Museum was dug up; that it now stands among the large num- Der of casts and few other originals in the Fogg Museum in Cambridge.
 It is an original statue in the sense that 1t was made in the later period of Greek sculpture, or possibly of the Ro- man empire. It Is, however, one of a number of Meleagers which seem all to have been variations of the same masterpiece, generally attributed to the sculptor Scopas; and no one can say whether this is the original Me leager or only one of the replicas. The actual original possibly no one has, though Professor Charles H. Moore, di- rector of the Fogg Museum, believes that something of case could be made Gut in favor of this Harvard example as being of the very workma nship of Scopas or one of his school. At all events he considers it's claim better than that of the famous Meleager head In the Villa Medici, Rome, which many archaeclogists have held to be d portion of the original statue.
 or course the attribution of a piece of Greek statuary Is an exceedingly difficult matter. In the case of the Meleager. for example, it is not cer- tainly known whether the original static was executed by Scopas or nor. The art eritics-at least until very re- cently-haye had way of assigning

ed enough money to buy a few orange
 shoots which he planted 'cordin' to directions, between his shaking spells. Byt the time they all died Lum had about concluded that there warn noth- in else for him to do but curl up his toes, so he laid himself out on the porch floor to die when he heard a
 slosh in the water long side uY where
 his front gate oughter been, an what should come slidin' up but long, war
 ty. mud-head alligator which made
 straight for Lum with the plain inten-
 ton uv maxim a meal outen him, but
 when he got within nose length uv
 him Lum took such shakin' spell that the critter sorter drawed back, think
 in most likely that such a jumpin'
 jack might interfer with his digestion. So he sidled up an watched the fun till twas over and by that time they'de got pretty well acquainted. By the
 way that varmint follered Lum about the cabin Lurn got the notion that he warp't no ordinary alligator, so he made up his mind to tame him if he could. He gave him what few little things the alligator tux a fancy to such as Lum's best shoes an belt an a loaf of bread, an by-an'-by Lum got out his old fiddle the only article uv furniture he had left-an' begun to play Lum could jest everlastinly fiddle, but that was about. the only thing he could do. Well, sir, the crit ter liked the music so we'll that he stayed on an on til Lum got him so's he could do anything with him. That alligator was his slave. He would stand on his hind legs an dance, an sing an turn summersets an cut up gnerally in ways that you wouldn't give a alligator credit for. Lum didn't wait long fore he tux his alligator about to exhibit him and thereafter they not only lived on the fat of the land, but made money head over heels He never made less'n ten dollars a day for three years an at the end uv that time he got tired of trapsin around an sold his alligator to a show for one thousand dollars cash. S'truth, gen temen. He showed us several picturs uv himself an his dancin alligator. Well, the life sorter spilled him for work so he married the bar keepers daughter an is now doin' a fine busi- ness in drinks down at Jug Tavern. He certainly was a lucky man, was Lum Petty
