ADMIRAL SCHLEY
CALLED BY DEATH
Dies Suddenly on Street in
New York.
HERO OF SANTIAGO BATTLE
Attacked by Cerebral Hemorrhage
After Leaving His Club-Admiral
schey Was a Leading Figure in the
Naval Battle of Santiago.

Unrecognized by single person in
the curious throng that rushed to his
aid, Rear Admiral Winfield Scott
Schley, U. S. ~, retired, fell dead in
front of the Berkeley lyceum, on West
Forty-fourth street, Monday afternoon.
The death of this notable figure in
the naval history of the nation was
for the moment that of an unknown
man in a strange crowd.
The admirals sudden death is at.
tributed to cerebral hemorrhage,
which attacked him shortly after he,
with Mrs. Schley, reached New York
from visit to Mount Kiso, and had
called at the New York Yacht club
for his mail.
Fell Helpless in Street.
AS the admiral was walking
through West Forty-fourth street, a
passerby who saw him stagger,
grasped his arm and tried to support
him. Despite the strangers service,
however, the admiral fell helpless to
the street, and physician who
pressed his way through the crowd
that quickly gathered, pronounced him
dead.
There was a cash over his right
eye where his forehead had struck
the sidewalk. A slight fracture of
the frontal bone had ensued, but sur
geons who examined the body ex-
pressed disbelief that this injury in
any way contributed to his death. His
identity was established by letters
and papers found in his pocket and
from an inscription in his gold watch,
which had been presented to the adj
miral by his native state of Maryland
FOR his heroism and memorable ser.
vices in rescuing Lieutenant A. w.
Greedy, u S. A., and six comrades
from death at Cape Sabine, in the
Arctic region, on June %, 1884"

Change of Parish Fair Date.

lliCI VII Il IlOdy, mug. 10, ciiU al
ter due consideration decided
that probably Oct. 10th to 21st
was the best time that could be
selected for the fair, all things
considered. The reasons for the
change are numerous, among
them that the hot weather which
we would likely have in Septem-
Der would endanger the life of
stock and poultry. Then the
farmers will be heels over head
at work gathering their crops,
planting fall crops, etc. Again,
the model road to be built to Pol
lock, we hope, will be ready for
use by this time. This will add
greatly to the facility for attend
ing the fair. 1t is also proposed
to build a race track at once, and
this should it materialize on time
will no doubt draw many people
to the fair grounds.
October is usually a pleasant
month with fair weather, not too
hot to bring out fat stock. In
fact, some of our old lady wealth
er prophets say we are to have
frost on the morning of the 21st
of October. Be this as it may, if
the farmers of Grant take hold
with determination they can
make the fair a splendid succC SIS.
The citizens of Pollock are doing
what they can, but unless the
farmers take hold with vim we
will not show to the outside world
what Grant parish now is and
what she means to be in the fu-
ture. We have come from OBJ
security to the front in the matter
of education and general public
Improvements, and now is our
chance to show what we are in
the matter of husbandry. No
parish in the State has made
greater strides in the improve
ment of public schools, and it is
up to you, brother farmers, to
show what you have done in the
way of growing crops and stock.
We have the facilities for success
in farming, and we should have
the energy and intelligence to
succeed, and now is our oppor-
tunity to prove it. Will we do
it?
We hear rumors that some of
the farmers propose to stand off
because the management COM
mittee is not all farmers. Now,
boys, let's reason together a lit
tie. Who of you could spare the
time to plan and superintend the
work of putting up the necessary
buildings, stalls and pens for the
exhibits? Somebody must take
hold and plan, and somebody
must have charge of the finances
and be empowered to employ
men and pay them after they
have done their work. This is
not bonanza for the committee.
Most of their work is gratis.
When the president or secretary
of the association calls the body
together we all have the right of
voice in the proceedings, and if
we fail to attend the meetings
we ought not to blame the COM
mittee for the mistakes which
we make no effort 20 avoid. We
believe the committee is doing
their best to make the fair a sue
cess, and with your help and
hearty cooperation it will be a
success, but if you pull back be-
cause some things are not worked
just as you would have them you
hamper the enterprise just that
