But we do not ask more from the man should have been taken awny, long before he had reached the allotted time, unless it was thnt the divine purpose was that we should have the lesson of his life more strongly Impressed upon us by his loss. It Is that we must make his virtues our virtues, emulating the good In his life. If ho was good, then the lesson Is that we must likewise be good. If he was noble, we must be 'noble to follow In his footsteps. If he was genprous. Just, charitable, then we must be generous, just, charitable. We must .live as he did, that we may hope to meet him in that future where the Just man Is made perfect. "My friends, the memory of Paul Isenberg will live longer than any of us will live.

(ASSOCIATED PBBB8 0ABLEQRAM8.) MARACAIBO (Venezuela), Jan. 18. Tlie German cruiser Panther this morning opened fire on Fort San Carlos, the principal fortification in the Gulf of Maracaibo, near this city. The German gunners early got the range and shells were dropped into the fort, three Venezuelan gunners being wounded by the fire. The fort then opened upon the cruiser, using four heavy guns. The practice was very good and after a few shots being fired the cruiser drew off and abandoned the attempt to reduce the fortification. The Panther was sent here nearly a month ago for the purpose of protecting the interests of German citizens which are large.

(ASBOOIATKD PBXBB OABLEOKAMB ) . PARIS, Jan. 18.--M. de IJlowitz died today of apoplexy. Henry George Stephen Adolphe Opper of Hlowitz was born in 1825 ; naturalized a Frenchman in 1870. And it is a far cry from 1825 to 1870. Where lie was bom nobody knew, excepting, perhaps, M. de IJlowitz. It was somewhere in Galicia, close to the borderland of the Orient. He was a native of Austria when he tlrew tb himself' the attention of the l;rench, always an emotional people, by asking for naturalization at a tune when their country was bleeding at the feet of Germany. From that day, when he was made a French citizen at Marseilles, he took a commanding place in the making of French history. It was on January 21, 1871, that arrangements were finally made by winch France should submit to the Germans. A parliament was got together at Bordeaux to establish some kind of government. The and Royalists were in the majority. And yet, after they had quarreled for days and days, Thiers was made chief of state, a republic was proclaimed and the new France was created And it was to the efforts of Blowitz that this result was mainlv due. Thiers recognized his debt to this naturalized Austrian. Blowitz took a prominent part in the crushing of the Commune, and Thiers named him to a consulate, at Riga; Then Laurence Oliphant. Paris correspondent of tli London Timre conceived the notion of getting Blowitz to interview Thiers for his paper. That settled it. The naturalized Frenchman had begun his real life work, and when Oliphant presently resigned Blowitz was named his successor and became the mouthpiece of the French republic to the world and the greatest of the powers of European journalism. So well was this under stood tliat when tlie .Ministers of the French republic wanted to learn the real views and wishes of their President on any important matter they consulted the letters of Blowitz and did not get far astray. Even the monarchs and statesmen of other nations chose M. de Blowitz as the means of conveying to the world messages and explanations which they were anxious should become known in an authoritative manner. His title of "Embassador of the Times" was not a misnomer. In the diplomatic world of Paris he was treated as the representative of a great power would have been, and his work was that of a statesman nt 111 MlfT hpr I lir lain kinir A Innm nf C..-,. :...i..i.....i . at least tlo justice to the marvelous not been the correspondent of the Times in Paris of late years.
