leaders. but when compared with the
record of previous years it will be
found there is little difference.
The educational world has lost two
prominent representatives.
Harper of the University of Chicago, a
man of exceptional scholarship and ex-
ecutive ability, and Prof. Nathaniel S.
Shaler of Harvard, the geologist, who
added great literary talent to ability in
original investigation. Literature has
lost few prominent names, among
them Paul Laurence Dunbar, the ne
gro poet, whose charming dialect ly-
RIGS met with great success; Henrik
Ibsen, poet, dramatist, essayist and
greatest of Scandinavian thinkers and
writer's; Pearl Mary Teresa Craigie,
the favorite English novelist; and Jere.
miah Curtin. who was an exceptionally
accomplished linguist and an admir-
able translator, especially of Slavic
and Russian literature.
The world of art has lost few great
names, among them the two veteran
American portrait painters, Eastman
Johnson and Daniel Huntington; Jules
Breton, one of the best of the modern
school of French figure and landscape
painters; and Gritz Thaulow, Nor
wegian artist, whose canal and winter
scenes are familiar in all art CALLER
les
Music has lost but two prominent rep
resentatives-John Knowles Paine,
professor of music at Harvard, in most
respects the foremost of American
composers, though his work, written
in the classical spirit, is even better
known in Europe than in this country,
and Manuel Garcia, who rounded out
a century of age and almost as many
years devoted to teaching. The only
great actress who has passed away
was Adelaide Ristori, the Italian ar.
fist, who in her time was rival OF
Rachel.
An unusual feature of the years rec
ord is the large number of political
leaders and prominent statesmen who
have passed away. The republican
party lost two of its most prominent
representatives-David B. Henderson
of Iowa, ex-speaker, and Robert R.
Hit of Illinois, who served with such
| ability in the direction of foreign at
| fairs in the house-and the democratic
party one of its ablest leaders, Arthur
P. German of Maryland. Besides these,
I, Carl Schurz, author, publicist, editor
and statesman, also died. Among rep.
resentative foreign leaders who have
passed away are Baron Richthofen
who long directed foreign affairs in
Germany, and Eugene Richter, who
was at the head of the German radi
Gals; Susan B. Anthony, who so long
and ably advocated the cause of WON
an suffrage, and Michael Davitt, who
devoted his life work to Irish rights
and reforms.
| Royalty has lost but one representa-
tive. Charles TX, king of Denmark
trade and finance two prominent
names, Marshall Field and Russell
Sage, the financier of Wall street. The
army has lost Brig. Gen Joseph D
Wheeler, who served in the Confed
crate as well as in the United States
army, and Gen. John M. Schofield who
had risen to the lieutenant generalshiI
of the army. Science has lost Pierre
Curie, the French discoverer of radi
um and the Jesuits the distinguished
general of their order, Father Louis
Martin.

considerably forbore from divorcing her, she re-
