character. There will be no military cere-
monies and no honorary pail bearers.
The body will be taken to Quogue Long
Island.
A formal statement issued from the
navy department contained this appre-
citation of the admiraFs works.
Admiral Mahans books were classics
in their line and were widely read
throughout the world. In every country
possessing navy they became veritable
textbooks in naval strategy. In England
leading naval men of the day confessed
that 1t had remained for Admiral Mahan
to elucidate the work of the British navy
in a way that they themselves never had
understood or even dreamed Of
Great Naval Writer
His books and essays have kept him
before the world as the greatest modern
writer on naval strategy. He was a
close student of world politics, and his
writings on the trend of the politics of
the leading nations of the world were
accepted as authority. 1t may be said
safely that no writer of modern times
evnced keener insight in the affairs of
the world or expressed concerning them
more clearly and convincingly than did
the late Admiral Mahan. His death will
cause international regret. not only be-
cause of the high esteem in which he
Is held in every country of the world
interested in naval affairs but also be-
cause of the fact that his death leaves
void among naval and political authori-
ties of the world that no author and
writer can fill"
The admirars literary achievements had
been widely recognized. In 1894 Oxford
university (EnglanD conferred the degree
of s. D. C. L. upon him and later he was
awarded the degree of LII. d. by Cam
bridge England, Harvard, Yale, McGill
and Columbia. He was a member of
the American Academy of Arts and Let
ters and of the National Institute or Arts
and Letters.

cars and o. K. Spires shipped one car.
The Spires car was made up of GO
top-notchers that averaged 24O lbs.
each. This was said by many to have
been the finest car of hogs ever ship
ped from this point We are informed
that over $4,000 in cold cash was paid
out here on Friday for this stock. We
are also credibly informed that fully
fifteen cars more of hogs may be
picked up around here within the next

What Burlington now needs are
better facilities for weighing and un-
loading stock, also more conveniences
at the yards, such as sheds, we'll, etc.
We look to see Burlington become an
important shipping point for live
stock, situated 50 favorably as it is at
