OBITUARY.
George T. QuantOcI<.

Mr.. George T. Quantock died at his
home, No. lis Taylor street, west, yes
terday morning, after an illness Of sew
eral months. About three months ago
he retired from business on account of
declining health. At that time he was
in the employ of the Ocean Steamship
COMPANY.
Mr.. Quantock was a native of Sa-
vannah, and was one of the oldest and
hest known citizens. For a number of
years he was engaged i'm the station
cry and book business, on Broughton
street
At the outbreak Of the Civil War
he enlisted in the Oglethorpes, which
was then Company II of the First Vol
unteer Regiment of Georgia, and serv-
ed through the entire war with this
company, afterwards becoming one of
the charter members of the Confed-
crate Veterans Association.
In 1868 Mr.. Quantock was married
to Miss Elizabeth Rahan of Efing-
ham county, who, with his two chill
dren' Mr.. George A. Quantock and
Miss Maggie Quantock, survive him.
The funeral service will be held at
the residence on Taylor street this aft
ernoon at O'Clock Rev. DIR. w. c.

covered with wool and long hair, was
armed with immense semicirculAr tusks
and its mighty neck bristled with
thick name.
These animals appear to have exist
ed in great numbers Throughout Eu-
rope and Northern Asia. Indeed, there
Is an island off Siberia entirely COM
posed of mammoth bones, sand and ice,
and the trade in mammoth ivory has
been carried on by the Siberians for
centuries. From finding the tusks and
bones in the ground, the natives con-
cluded they belonged to a huge an
imal that lived underground, and so
called 1t the mammoth, which is said
to mean, in the Siberian language,
earth beast" 1t is to the circum-
stance of the mammoth being an in
habitant of cold climeS that we owe
our knowledge of its appearance, for
while the bones only are found Of other
extinct animals, entire carcasses of the
mammoth, with the skin and hair on,
nave been discovered in the frozen soil
of Siberia.
In 1893 the melting of ice at the
mouth of the river Lena partially ex-
posed shapelesS mass, which, as the
Ice that enveloped 1t disappeared, prov
ed to be the frozen body of a NAM
moth. 1t lay there for several years,
during which time it was much mutt
lNSSN ny Tic cutting on the
flesh to feed their dogs with, and by
being eaten by the polar bears. At
length the skeleton and what remained
OF the skin, which was so heavy that
IL required ten men to carry it, were
removed to the Museum of the Aca-
DENY of St. Petersburg. The skin was
clothed with reddish wool, portions of
which are now in the Museum of the
college of Surgeons in London.
The discovery in the cavern of La.
Madeleine, in France, of a portion Of
mammoth tusk, on which a. drawing
OF the animal itself was rudely scratch
ed, proves that it existed when men
We're on the earth. From it's thick
woody covering it could endure the
rigors of an arctic winter.
The mammoth whose body was found
IN siberia was probably overwhelmed
IN sudden snowstorm, and thus pre-
served through long ages, till the melt
ing or the ice in which it was embed
deo revealed to wondering eyes the
perfect figure of one of the hugest
creatures of the antediluvian world.

SAYS THAT EUROPE
IS AIDING RUSSIA.

London, Nov. 26.-Baron Suyematsu,
son-in-law of Marquis Ito. president
of the Japanese privy council, whose
comment was fully Endorsed by Baron
Hayashi, the Japanese minister here,
discussing the irritation of Japan at
the continued supply of British coal
to vessels of the Russian Second Pa
cific squadron. said to-day:
I'VE feel strongly that Europe in
general is assisting Russia in a way
we never contemplated. Even in Eng
land individuals are rendering much
indirect assistance. Without English
coal the Russian squadron could not
have gone far, and 1t is my belief that
when contraband trade is being car
ried on in such wholesale and open
fashion, the government concerned
should take steps to prevent a contin-
uance of action prejudicial to another
nation. especially when that nation
happens to be an ally"
