Well Known and Popular Young Man Meets Tragic Death in Co? lumbia. Columbia. Sept. 30.?Heber S. P.eynolds. a well known young man of Columbia, was killed at a late hour lest nitr.it when he fell from the ninth floor of the Loan and Ex- , change bank building to the alley way In the rear of the building. He wu employed In the office of the South Carolina Cotton Oil company, on the ninth floor, and was waiting for IL E. Wells, the manager of the company, who was due to arrive from the North at 12:30 o'clock. Mr. Rey? nolds had received a telegram from Mr. Wells telling of his expected con? templated arrival at that hour. He had finished some work, and It Is supposed, was seated in the window when he fell. He was Instantly killed. The body was found at midnight by R. E. North, an engineer, employed In the building, who was making his rounds as night watchman. Mr. North said that he heard a fall about 11:30 o'clock. It is sup? posed that the accident occurred at that time. A careful Investigation was made by Coroner Walker. He came to the conclusion that the boy's death waa the result of an accident.

TllCOpllllC l)<<clttMS?\ If Declasse, who is probably, take it all in all. the most celebrated dip? lomatist in Europe, is not officially at the helm of foreign uffaira in France, it is because this would bo an unnec? essary offense to Germany. Titles are of minor importance. As Minister of Marine. Declusse is building up the French navy. He Is, at the same time, the backbone and dominating spirit of the Callux Ministry, and his hand may bo seen In every move made by the less assertive de Selves, who holds the foreign portfolio. It was Declaase who brought about the cordial understanding between France and Great Britain. It was this same finished, polished, secretive and ten? acious Gallic statesman who precipi? tated the Mproccan crisis five years ago, and was virtually forced to re? sign from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to appease German wrath. ' His consuming passion is to bring about the effective isolation of Ger | many and eliminate her from the chessboard of Eu. ">ean diplomacy. Declasse is in his fU'ty-ninth year. He has been a journalist and a profes? sor. His specialty is foreign af? fairs. He has been Secretary for the I Colonies and Colonial Minister. He acted IS mediator between the United st-.ter. and Spain in 1809. He has, !n an eminent degree, what the French call the personality of a Premier.?Review of Reviews. Canada's Fedeal System. That Canada Is a nation in the making and in the very beginning of that making, you may SSS every? where. Indeed, there i., not one phase of Canadian life and activity that does not tell the story of nation building. But nowhere does this so ! force itself upon you as when you I study the forming of the Canadian Government, and especially its de? velopment of a national, constitu? tional, and judicial system. To make it plain to American read? ers, It should be explained that the various provinces of the Dominion if Canada correspond to the States of the American Republic; and the general Government. But here, al? most, the analogy ends. Almost, but not quite. For while these provinces .have their provincial parliaments and provincial government and the Do? minion has its Dominion Parliament and Dominion Government, just aa with us, yet even at this dawning of the Canadian nationality the Do | minion Government already' has I broader national powers than we I Americans have achieved in a hun i dred years, broader than we are like? ly to secure for ourselves in many ' a decade to come.?American Re view of Reviews.
