TO CHARLES EMORY SMITH,
WELL KNOWN EDITOR.

Philadelphia, Jan. 20.--Charles En-

mer minister to Russia and postmas-
ter general, died suddenly at his home
in this city Sunday, aged Go years.
Death was caused by heart trouble.
For about month Mr.. Smith had
been in poor health, but his condition
had not been regarded as serious Fol
lowing a dinner in New York on No
vember 80 he suffered an acute at
tack of Indigestion, which according
to his physician gave indication OF
heart trouble. Shortly before Christ
mas he attended dinner of the New
England society in this city, though
advised by his physician not to do so.
Before he had recovered from the
effects of his first attack Mr.. Smith
contracted the grip, which aggravated
his heart trouble. One week ago he
was ordered to Atlantic City to re-
cuperate. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Smith and when he returned to
his home here Saturday night, he ap-
peared to be bright and cheerful, ex-
cept that he felt somewhat fatigued
Mrs. Smith went to church Sunday
morning and on her return to the
house Mr.. Smith was found dead, ly-
ing across bed. He was partly
clothed and had apparently been
stricken while on his way to the bath
room and thrown himself on the bed.
Mr.. Smith was born In Mansfield,
Conn. on February IL, 1912. He re.
ceived his early education at Albany,
n. Y, academy, and subsequently

ing the period when troops were be-
ing organized in Albany In 1861, Mr..

tary by Gen. John +. Rathbone. Later

quently he was attached to the Office
Of adjutant general OF the state Of
New York until IIoratio Seymour be-
came governor. He resigned and for
time was o teacher In the Albany
academy, a nlace which he left to ac.
cept an editorial position on the AL.
bany Express. f
In 1870 Mr. Smith went to the AL.

PLANS A Deep WATERWAY
FROM THE HUDSON RIVER TO
LAKE ONTARIO.
Superinte ndent Of New York States
Public Works Says II Is I'M
perativeiy Needed.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 20.--Superintend-
ent of Public Works +. G. Stevens In
his annual report recommends that
congress be memorialiZed to join with
the state in constructing a deep wa
terway from the Hudson river to Lake
Ontario. He points out that the Do
minion government Is planning to
build what will constitute a deep wa
terway known as the Ottawa-Georgian
bay route, connecting Georgian bay
with the st. Lawrence river. This Will
provide the shortest outlet by water
for the grain, forest and mining prod
ucts of the great northwest, and he
doubts whether, should this be COM
pleted, the state with only a 1000
mile canal could hope to compete with
Canada for the Great Lakes traffic.
Canada" he says, 'in the race for
commerce must be dealt with as u
rival"
The only hope of restoring to New
York and to the nation transportation
supremacy Is to construct 21-foot
canal between the Hudson river and
Lake Ontario on the line of the pres
ent barge canal. The federal gov
ernment in 1900 made survey for a
deep waterway 21 feet deep, connect
ing Lake Erie with the tide waters
of the Hudson river, the estimate be-
ing S19S,000,000. b
Superintendent Stevens says that If
this plan were carried out It Is be-
lieved that not only would New
York state be in commanding posi-
ton so far as commercial shipments
go in the event of the completion by
the Dominion government of the OF
tawa-Georgian bay canal, but 1t is not
impossible that If the construction of
ship canal across New York state
were authorized in the near future the
construction of the Ottawa-Georgian
bay canal will be abandoned"

German NAVY League is Disrupted.

here give details of a stormy session
of the Navy league held Sunday at
Cassel, In which .noblemen and gov

selves. shouting insults and recrmt
nations at one another. So far from
bringing harmony into the affairs OF
the Navy league, the meeting seems
only to have intensified the differences
between the factions; has resulted in
the secession of the Bavarian and
South German delegates md seems
likely to eyentuate in the existence
of two leagues, one for the north and
one for the south of Germany.

Fuses Are Made to Blow Out.

With everybody travelling more or
less, usually more, in electrically driv.
en- cars and trains, the time has GER
tainly come for general appreciation
OF the fact that the blowing out of
fuses is nothing to excite alarm.
To be startled-to Jump" as the
saying is-When this happens is the
privilege Of all except the professional
electricians. The latter are bound by
professional pride to show perfect i'm
FEASIBILITY even when the sudden flash
singes their fingers, and it is delight,
full to see how many of them have at.
tanned to this command of theiI
nerves. To jump is one thing, however,
while to fall into a senseless panic is
quite another.
10 blow out is the duty and destiny
OF fuses, and when they have done it
such danger as there was is all over.
Nothing worse than delay can follow,
unless the passengers proceed to make
wild rushes for which there is no need
whatever. Travellers should keep these
facts carefully in mind-New York
