by the ravages Of disease to remain at
home. Friendly toward all with whom
he came in contact, and courtesous in
his demeanor, his popularity had in
creased with his years, and ever since
it was kwnon that his health was failing
expressions Of regret have been heard
among all classes Of his towns-pcoplc.
The announcement Of his death will

Slocum was removed to Fort Myer by
persons who were acting under the stress
Of excitement. and whose grief over the

ton. I had given no thought of the viola
