nT -SVAP.WI4-K JAMES TRICE.
THE
i HE optimist, in the long run, is
right. Facts back him up in his
sturdy claim that the world grows
better year by year; it does advance as
month follows month. Nor is this one
whit less true because of black spots
on the chart of the days, because of
heavy-scored entries to debit as well
as on the cheerier side of Time's great
ledger.
With each closing: twelvemonth,
however, as we pause to draw breath
and take account of stock before
plunging: Into life's whirl once more
there must come a sobering- thought
.of those' mighty ones whose works
have ended since the year came in.
Today such a realization comes with
solemn emphasis, for 277 men and
women. Ions standing well to the fore
front of the world'; activities, will no
more answer "present" to their names.
What deep loss Is there In the deaths
of such a half dozen as this:
Grover Cleveland "By his ruggedness.
his courage, his tenacity, and his de
votion to his Ideals of duty, he did
a mighty work in elevating the
standards of public service." Gover
nor Hughes.
Victories Sardoo "Far more than any
other dramatist he has ruled the
stsge for the last 33 years, fin the
( number of his pieces and the variety
of the genres he successfully essayed
he was marvelously fertile. No
playwright has e"er been so widely
International within the limits of his
lifetime."
lrm n. Saakey "One of the best-loved
of men. endeared to the hearts of
many nations, his work was yet far
from personal. It builded for the fu
ture and proved, again, what busy
men and careless women perpetually
forget, that religion lies at the deep
base of life-"
sir Henry fampbell-BaaBennaa "Me
found the Liberals a mob and made
of them a victorious army. As a
statesman he showed the saving gifts
of common sons and directness of
utterance, and an unselfish devotion
to a high conception of duty which
tins gained him a distinguished place
In the roll of servants of the British
Empire." London Times.
Charles Eliot IN'ortoB "He was a
srholnr. More than this, he was a
patriot. Most of all he was a mis
sionary of civilization. In his death
both the great English-speaking na
tions are poorer in all that Is best in
the intellectual life of both." Clem
ent Shorter.
Pablo lie Saraaate "He was the wizard
of his art, all fire and magic. In
the famous Whistler portrait of him
he emerges, phantom-like, from a
shadowy background; his bow a
wand of magic and there was a true
map."
All Nations Have Mourned.
If the United States and France,
England and Spain, have -been most
directly affected by these deaths, yet
has every nation the world round had
cause to mourn. Here at home we have
lost such National figures as Itedfleld
Proctor and William Boyd Allison, both
"elder statesmen"; Charles Emory
Smith, Journalist and diplomat: Henry
Cod in an Potter, prelate and publicist;
and dear "Uncle Remus" Harris, who
may ave lnlluenced the progress of
the land far less than many another,
but who won a place so close to the
heart of men that few, indeed, may be
so sure of abiding anTectlon In the long
future.
To the north of us. Newfoundland la
ments Sir Robert Reld, a Scotch stone
mason, who raised himself to be feudal
lord of the island; and the broad
speaking ro minion will no more hear
the verse of that most Canadian of
poets. Louis Honors Frechette. South
of our borders, Mexico has been be
reaved of her ' AroUblshop Barquera;
Cuba of her first president and fore
most citizen. Estrada Palma; Porto Rico
of her historian patriot, Qulnones; and
Ecuador, Colombia and Honduras of ez
Presldents Velntemilla, Marroquln and
Soto.
Merely to instance a single name from
each nation, as the lengthening roster is
read through, is to point beyond all ques
tion that lOfWs onward march has cost
dear:
England The Duke of Devonshire, one
of the real leaders of men.
France Henri Becquerel. discoverer of
the, "rays' named for him.
BeVtium De Troos. her Premier and
Minister of the Interior.
Denmark Holger Drachman, "The
Burns' of Scandinavia."
Norway Jonaa Lie. poet, dramatist and
novelist.
Russia D. PokotilefT. for 30 years fore
most tu her diplomacy.
Spain Marquis Vega d Arniljo. ex
Preinler. It.ily Marquis dl Rudinl. ex-Premier
and diplomat.
Greece M. Blkelas. patriot and pro
fessor. Hungary Max Falk. Journalist and
patriot.
Turkey Rejab. the "Young Turk"
Minister of War.
Kgypt Kanwl Pasha, leader of the
Nationalist.
Siain H H. Strobel. American adviser
of the government.
Japan Count Nodzu. general and edu
cator. Australia James Munro. ex-Premier of
Victoria.
Hawaii Prince David, once, heir pre
sumptive to the throne.
Brazil Aquino Castro, Chief Justice of
the Supremo Court.
Bolivia Fernando Guachalla. president
elect. Uruguay Guillermo Garcia, general and
politician.
Month by Month Old and Young.
So the story has run Its course, from j
the first chapter, when were aet flnal
periods to such careers as Morris K.
Jessup'e, a forwarder of great Interests
and nourlsher of high Ideals, and Ed
mund Clarence Stedman's, poet, critic,
journalist editor, philanthropist and
banker, on through the months till one
reads of the veteran German officer fall
ing dead in his Kaiser s presence; of
China's young Emperor, "more sinned
against than sinning." crossing over to
the dim beyond surrounded by the cold
ceremonies of the Orient; and, at last,
of the Autocrat of all the Russlas walk
ing bareheaded behind the hearse of his
uncle, the Grand Duke Alexis.
Kwang-su of the Celestial Empire was
yet not the youngest of the world's prom
inent ones to be called by death. He was
38. but the Duke de Chaulnes was still
In his twenties, and little Prince Stephen
of Montenegro was, but t. At the other
end of the Hat stand the names of such
as William Callow (96) and Imogen Moral
(91. the artists; John W. Oliver, the
Journalist (93). and Bdler von Plener. the
Nestor of Austrian politics (98). With
such as these, Gaston Bolssler, the
famous French classical student, was, at
only S5. still a young man.
A Score of Famous Women.
The mention of Mme. Morel suggests
the year's losses in the ranks of famous
womanhood. The Initial day of the 365
saw ended the splendid work in educa
tion which had been accomplished by
Louise Holman Haines, and Susan Swett,
the story-writer, passed the self-same
hour. Literature is also poorer, for
Katherine Prescott' Wormeley. and Louise
de la Ramee ("Oulda"), and Allen Ralite.
and Louise Chandler Moulton. and Mrs.
A. L. Wlster have laid by their pens for
ever, even as the chisel has fallen from
the talented hands of Harriet Hosmer.
Most famous of all, Tsi-An, Dowager
Empress of China. "A Catherine of the
Far East" and for a generation a maker
of world history, closed her romantic life
In November, the same month witnessing
the final exit of quite another sort of
celebrity, though one whose last depas
ture from life's stage attracted not a
little attention from the theatergoers of
40 years ago Lydla Thompson. Lily Han
bury, too, has left the world across the
footlights, as has Mrs. George C. Howard,
who, on September 27, 1S".2, appeared at
Troy, N. Y., as the very first of the
hundreds of "Topsys" who since have
capered to the Joy of thousands. Marie
Fischer, the violinist, and Jessie Shay,
tlie pianist, and the Prima Lucca and
Novelio. are also to be coupled with
these, while of the "royal sort," fit
to stand In the record with China's
septuagenarian ruler, were the Lady
Ichljo. mother to Japan's Empress,
the Duchess Elizabeth of Brunswick, and
Mrs. William Astor, as truly a queen
In her own realm as any be-crowned and
be-titled one among them.
"By Violence."
Death has come, too. In sudden, violent
guise to some of the great ones of the
world, the first of the year's months
liearing the horrible news of the assas
sinations, In Lisbon, of King Carlos of
Portugal and his heir. Prince Lulz. Quite
as dreadful and perhaps full as far
reaching in its effects, was the shooting
down (March) of Durham White Stevens,
Japan's counsellor- in Ooreu, by a na
tive of that Hermit Kingdom, who had
"trailed 'his man" across the Pacific and
Into San Francisco, thinking he could
In no other way "revenge" his unhappy
land.
An even score of other items, not dis
similar to such ugly happenings as are
these, may be chronicled:
Former Senator Carmack, of Ten
nessee, shot In a Memphis street. (Nov.)
The Swiss painter Mangold, stabbed to
death In Geneva. (June).
Harro Magnussen, the sculptor,
strangled In his Berlin home. (Nov.)
Adolphe Stelnhell, the French artist,
murdered In Paris. (May).
ARCTIC EXPLORER PROPOSES TO
DRIFT ACROSS THE NORTH POLE
NEW TORK, Deo. IX (SpeciaL)
Evelyn Briggs Baldwin last week ex
plained at Harvard Union, Cambridge,
unpublished details of his proposed
trans-Arctic expedition. W'th a large
number of logs and rasks to be filled
with oil, clothing and emergency sup
plies, together with portable houses
and boats, he will form an encampment
on one of the huge Ice floes north of
Bering Strait and allow his party to be
carried entirely across the Arctic Ocean.
It is also planned to employ a specially
constructed "vessel which will be "frozen
in" alongside the Ice floe carylng the
logs and casks. Thus, whether the ship
be crushed or burned, the safety of the
party would be Insured. The casks can
also be receptacles for duplicates of
the collections in science and art. Cap
tive balloons will be employed to ex
tend the field or observation. As the
drift travels only two miles a day,
side expeditions on sledges will be pos
sible. De Long and Nansen drifted
along the margin of the ice-pack. Bald
win proposes to go In the middle and
drift right over the Pole. He will travel
2000 miles, exploring a belt 100 to 200
miles wide from Bering Strait to the
North Atlantic. He regards the Pole
as the least Important of his object
ives. He will make soundings, gather
marine specimens, make observations
of the curvature of the earth in high
latitudes, secure pointings, -photos and
moving pictures, study the air currents
and magnetic forces, etc. The monot
ony or Arctic life will be broken by this
work and the spirit of the expedition

Paralleling this last-mentioned catas
trophe was the death of Lieutenant T.
E. Selfridg, U. S. A., in the collapse of
the Wright aeroplane at Fort Myer, in
September; he was probably the most
widely informed man in Ameri6a on
aviation questions. Of equal loss to the
world of scientific achievement was the
death (by starvation) of Myllus Erich
sen, the Dane, who had undertaken the
exploring and charting " of northeastern
Greenland for his government. Real
scholarship is distinctly the poorer for
the self-destruction of John Churton Col
lins, critic and biographical writer and
'expert" In ail things .Bllzabethan.
AVlth the Mighty Dead.
As the year's demands upon the liv
ing to augment the long roll of the
mighty dead have touched young as
well as old, and reached out to all cor
ners of the earth, so, too, have they
grievously thinned the ranks In every
one of the world's varied activities.
Captains of Industry have been called
from their great plans, generals and
admirals have received their last dis
charge, politicians and diplomats,
churchmen and reformers, scientists
maintained. Admirals Melville and
Schley and Sir C. Purdon Clarke, of the
Metropolitan Museum, have Indorsed
the project.
