THE PERSONAL Loss. - Something has been said in the

Press with regard to his infinite generosity, and it was a generosity which owed its origin not to an ostentatious display of benevolence but to the kindliest heart and to a disposition so affectionate -that those who came into direct business relations with him every day, whether as colleagues or employees, and who knew full well his inflexibility and determination of character, nevertheless mourn his loss as that of a very dear friend.
