Member of Masonic Fraternity and q
Knight Of Pythias-Funeral
Thursday Next.

George W. Heisley died yesterday after
noon at his late residence, No. 93S G street
southwest after short illness of pneu-
mona. Mr.. Heisley was for years promi-
nent contractor here. and was active in
Masonry and in the order of the knights Of
Pythias He was widely acquainted in the
city and his death will be much regretted
Mr.. Heisley was a native of Pennsylvania
and ffty-one years old. Soon after the C vii
war he removed to Alexandra, and was en-
gagged in business there for several years
He subsequently removed 10 Washington
and has long been recognized as one of the
most competent and trustworthy con-
tractors and master builders of this city.
He was for a long period of years a mem
Der of the firm of Emmert & He.sley but
in more recent years had conducted bust
his own account.
From the time of attaining his majority
Mr.. Heisley took keen interest in fraternal
organzat tons. and filed many honorable
positions in them. He became member OF

RUSSIA AND RUSSIANS.
Mrs. John A. Logan Discusses Prob
able War in East.

Russia and Russians was the subject
of a lecture delivered last evening by Mrs.
John a. Logan at the Metropolitan M. f.
Church for the benefit of the Ladies' Aid
Society of that church. The speaker was
introduced by Gen. John c. Black. COM
mander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic and civil service commissioner,
who spoke of the days In Illinois when he
and Mrs. Logan played together as chill
dren and of the days In later life when
they had worked together just as hard as
they had played half century ago.
Mrs Logan said that a popular impress
sion existed that Russia was an unconquer-
able nation, because she had been the
turning point in the career of Napoleon,
and that Japan. in a conflict with her
giant neighbor, would meet with early de-
feat This. she assured the audience. was
a mistake. for the ma tural boundaries of
Russia were of such a character that the
movement of troops was a serious matter
to the car, the distances so tremendous
THAT long periods of time must be required
for the transportation and mobilization of
troops, and longer for the conveyance of
the immense quantity of material that is
necessary for the maintenance OF an army.
She drew a picture of the active, energetic,
brainy JapS, saying that their aptitude for
exigencies had hardly been fairly estimated,
and that they were a force that could not
situation in the far east. They were giants
in strategy, she said, and unsurpassed
handlers of their army and navy.
In war with Russia they would not
only give a good account of themselves
but they might even rout their great ad-
VerSary through the intelligence of their
rank and file-Supcrior TO that of the Rus
sian peasant, who comprises the major
portion of the Russian army. The peas
ants of Russia. she said, are a dull ienor-
ant people, no match whatever for the Jap
anese in war where the highest order of
intelligence must be commanded in order
to achieve victory.
The ear, Mrs Logan said is man
who hates war and longs for peace but he
is in measure under the influence of his
military advisers, who want war for the
advancement of their selfish ambitions She
drew a picture of the coronation of the
car at Moscow eight years ago, and said
the average Russian peasant acknowledges
no power but that of the car, because he
is densely ignorant and knows not the
manner in which the rest OF the world is
governed.
