The Atlantic will be crossed on a fast
cruiser, probably the Minotaur, accom-
panied by another fast cruiser as an

Canada and the United States in 1880
The Hero left England on July 10 in
that year and did not reach the first
port of call in North America until the
23rd, having been thirteen days at sea.
The return voyage took even longer,
the squadron sailing from Portland,

in Plymouth harbOr until Nov. Is.
Storms were partly responsible for this
long voyage.
The British Atlantic fleet will go over
in advance Of the MinOtaur and her es-
cOrt to take part in the celebration and
give fitting welcome TO the heir to the
throne upon his arrival in Canadian
waters His royal highness, too, will be
accompanied by a brilliant staff, so that
none of the pomp and ceremony of the
British court will be missing.
French and American squadrons will
also be at Quebec, and invitations have
been sent to France and all the colonies

celebrations. Australia has accepted
and will be represented by Lord Dud-
ley, the new governor general OF the

Program Of Celebration.
The prince, on landing, will be re-
ceived by the governor general and viii
be presented with an address by the

UNCLE REMUS DIES
Joel Chandler Harris, Writer of
Negro Dialect Stories,
Passes at Atlanta.
ROSE AS AN EDITORIAL WRITER
Succeeded Sam Small on Atlanta Con-
stitution-Produced 20 Well Known
Books During Career.

Atlanta, Ga, July 4.-Joel Chandler
Harris, writer of stories of the south
and best known as the creator of I'm
Gle Remus,' died at his home here last
night after short illness. Mr.. Harris
was 60 years old.
Born on a Georgia plantation, Mr..
Harris had an intimate acquaintance
with the people he made famous. His
early manhood he spent in various
small newspaper offices and later he
held editorial positions in various
cities of the south, in Savannah, in
New Orleans and Atlanta.
Successor of Sam Small.
1t was as an editorial writer for the
Atlanta Constitution that Mr. Harris
first attracted attention outside those
who were in close contact with him.
This was in 1876. Previous to this
time Sam Small, who later became an
evangelist, had been an editorial writ
er on the Constitution and had also
contributed stories in negro dialect!
He was urged by Captain Howell, they1
proprietor and editor of the Const Iu-
| ton, to attempt to supply this featSre.
He bad no amlItion along this line
and had shoyh no aptitude for such
work, but he tried it. and with what
success the readers of English fiction
know
| Without abandoning his editorial
work, Mr.. Harris continued his dialect
stories, one appearing almost daily.
and they were copied extensively
Throughout the country. Soon there
was a demand for them from the
magazines, which was supplied. In ad-
! dition to these during his years of ac-
tivity he produced twenty books and
continued his contributions to the
daily press.
Student of Sociology.
In 1901 Mr.. Harris gave up his
work on the Constitution to devote
himself to outside literary work. He
was student of sociology and gave
economic problems much thought.
Concerning these he wrote many ar
ticles. but it is as the teller of the
-I"Uncle Remus" stories that he is
lknown and will be remembered. He
: had beautiful home at "Snap Bean
Farm" where his great delight was hi:
beautiful flower gardens, roses being
their chief attraction.
