   The death of Admiral Sampson will be deeply regretted by the American people. He served this country faithfully and but for the unfortunate controversy that arose out of the battle of Santiago bay his many estimable traaits and his distinguished services would have met with more general appreciation.

   No one doubts that had Admiral Sampson been in Admiral Schley's place he would have acquitted himself well. It was his misforture to have been away from the immediate scene of the battle. It was also unfortunate that the dispatch announceing the victory was so framed as to give an erroneous conception. It was also unfortunate that a coterie of Admiral Sampson's friends sought to detract from Schley's fame. And it cannot be doubted that this series of misfortunes embittered the life of Admiral Sampson, not (sic) can it be denied that it did much to injure his popularity among the people.

But the people whom Admiral Sampson served so faithfully will not choose to remember any unpleasant incidents. They will prefer to accord to the dead admiral the high honor to wwhich his distinguished services entitle him. They will accord to the memory of the dead seaman the tribute of a generous and grateful recollection.

   Most men take themselves too seriously. It is little we amount to while here, and we will amount to even less when we are gone. This has been the case with most men who have tried it. We will fight when called a liar, and most of us are liars. The best philosophy of life is to enjoy today. We have no mortgage on tomorrow. Don't grow heavy with importance, for you are not important. Grub and garb and a hole in the ground is your total invoice.

   Belgrade is badly in need of good hotel facilities. The traveling public complain of this and our citizens and business men realize this fact, but, from reports this want will soon be supplie as there are some good hotel men who have their eyes on Belgrade as being a good opening for a first-class hotel. We do no cast any reflections on Mr. Lay a a hotel manager, as we believe him to be the man for the place but he is incapacitated for the lack of room.
