been the RI. Rev. William Croswell
Doane. the venerable Episcopal bish
op Of Albany. Other deaths recorded |
among American churchmen are those |
of two Catholic bishops, Hogan of
Kansas City and Kenny Of St Angus
tine.
Some Of the deaths of the year were
not unexpected. John Fritz. famous
for the part he played in the develop
ment of the iron ana steel industry in
the United States, had passed his
nnetieth year. So had Alfred Russell
Wallace the famous British scientist.
Earl Nelson was i'm his ninetieth year
and Sir Richard Scott. senator and
long II prominent figure in Canadian
public affairs, was lightweight.
Politics and Diplomats.
From the ranks Of politics ANA di-
plomacy have been taken many fig
ure2 Of national or international prom

eipn mortuary role is far in excess OF

ma lority Of American statesmen and
diplomats who passed away during the

table exceptions were William }. Gay
nor. mayor of New York city JEFF

| United States senator from Alabama,
and Timothy l.. Woodruff, former
lieutenant governor of New York and
later a leader Of the Progressive party.

United States Senate passed away,
among them John T.. Henderson of
Missouri Frank q. Briggs Of New
Jersey, John Martin Of Kansas, and
Thomas W. Palmer of Michigan
Frank :. Black. ex-governor of New
York and at one time an influential
+. figure in Republican politics, was in
lcluded in the mortality record of for
mcr governors. Others were William
j. Northen Of Georgia, and Gen. sam
ue j. Crawford, who was the ciVi
war governor of Kansas.
Under the head of diplomats may
be placed the name of Gen. Stewar
H. Woodford. who was the American
minister 20 Spain at the beginning o
the Spanish American war.
