RESOLUTIONS IN MEMORY OF
SAMUEL II. KAUFFMANN.

The officials OF two local institutions have
paid tribute to the late MIR. Samuel Hay
Kaufman. At a regular meeting of the
board of directors of the Columbia Ma
tional Bank, held this morning, resolutions
were adopted setting forth:
That Mr.. Samuel Hay Kaufman has
been citizen of the District of Columbia
for many years. and actively interested In
ali that pertained to the development Of
the national capital and the welfare of It's
people.
He was public spirited. generous and
noble and impressed all who knew him
with his rare common sense and discretion
and the fairness with which he considered
all questions. With all the influence, not
only of the great newspaper with which he
was directly connected but of the journal
istic profession at his command, he was
quiet. unostentauou5 and modest, ana
neither the acquisition OF wealth nor the
companionship Of the most prominent and
powerful in the affairs of the state seemed
TO affect the simplicity of his tastes or the
cordially OF his friendship toward those
who walked in humber spheres of life.
His broad culture. integrity and spotless
character contributed to make his career
exceptionally successful and commend him,
furnishing an example worthy of imi-
tation. He was gentle, yet strong. afrec-
tionate, yet manly; conservative, yet pro-
gressive. and while carefully guarding his
own interests was equally COnSlueIate anu
just to those of his fellow men.
His contributions to art and literature
are permanent gifts for the benefit of the
public.
His loss will be severely felt in his home
and family, by the many associations and
societies of which he was a member and
the commercial and Industrial enterprises
with which he was connected.
The Columbia National Bank, with which
he was identified. deeply deplores the dis
pensation which withdraws from Its service
his friendship and advice. and Ats board OF

tiles of mind and heart, and direct at their

has come to them, and In further evidence
of their esteem and respect, they do now
