THE SUNDAY OM5r02CIAXf FOXTULXP, DEGE3CBEB -SI,, tWOS. NINETEEN FIVE has seen death reap a. notable harvest. As Its months have pu?ed, in one Jand after the other, figures which for long have held the -center of the world's stage have been called forever behind the FcencB. In January, passed thus Lord Kinross, Justice-General of Scotland, and R. Swain Gifford, the American artist, and that "VV. H. Baldwin who. In very ppite of his mere 41 years, was not only one of this country's leading railroad men, hut one of her foremost citizens. The closing days of the twelvemonth heard those veteran generals V. TV Sher man and Andreas Tchortkoff. answer to the roll for the last time. And between these there has" been built tip a roster of world-known names totalling today at 226. Consider the breadth and- depth of the loss involved in the d cat lis of such as these: JOHN HAY. who took hit earMeft lesson In wisdom at the feet of Lincoln, and. span nine the whole development of the new Union, brought erenlty and strength to the councils of McKlnley and Roosevelt. MAXIMO GOMEZ, that "Gray little, treat little- man"; knight-errant and dltlnter ested champion of true freedom. Alphonse De Rothschild, perhaps the most Influential of world bankers. SIR HENRY IRVING, great as an actor, greater as a stage manager, and greatest In the uplifting influonce he exerted upon his calling. JANE LATHROP STANKOIMJ. In some re spects the most remarkable bencracter of modern times. THEODORE THOMAS, who had done much toward the cultivation of a leve for the bcit music among the American peo ple. DR. THOMAS BERNARDO, "the father ef nobody's children." whose epitaph might well read: "He saved sixty thousand un wanted and destitute children from suffer ing, vice and crime." MARY A. LIVERMORE. reformer, organ izer, nurse and patriot, who did great deeds because she was a. tfrat woman. "JO" JEFFERSON, who will be remembered as long as gentle humor is prized, or while the odor of kindness and pity rcmalfu nveet In man's nostrils. HENRI GERMAIN, than whom no other financial man in present-day Europe hod more Influenced Continental banking methods. ORVILLE H. PLATT. th most active, dis tinguished and useful membor of the Up per House of tho National Legislature. Nations Now the Poorer. Scarce a land but has heard the cold swish of the scythe of Death, announcing the erasure from the roll of the living of jome narno now ancient in history, now new though honorable in the doings of today. Spain mourns for those political leaders Sllvcla and Vlllaverde; Russia for that splendidly brave old General Drago mlroff and Paul Letsar. her able diplo mat; France for' Reclus. the .scientist, llcnncr, the artist, nnd Verne, the pro phetic romancer: nnd America, among o many others, for W. T.

An assassin closed forever the career o.t Delyannls. the Grek "pre mier; pocrty put the period to the good works of Italy's Countess del Drago; while diseaso carried from the fields of German science and diplomacy those two notablo workers, the brothers Von Rich tofen. In the Tnltcd States there have been, In all, 169 deaths of men and women properly classified with "the great" of modern times, with 66 in England. 23 in France, and 19 In Germany. Russia has lost 9, Spain 6. Italy 5 and Canada 4. The rest of the list. In ones and twos and threes, is divided between Austria. Sweden and Belgium, Turkey. Japan and Braxtl, Chili, Cuba and Finland. Greece and Mexico, Peru and Venezuela. Monarchs of Title and or $ $ $. Loss has come to every walk in life. If one considers royalty and nobility there are the names of the Grand Duke Adolf of X.uxemberg, the oldest reigning sovereign In Europe, and Prince Leopold of Hohcnxollern. who. as history recalls, was the nominal cause of the Franco German "War.
