IN MEMORIAM. 



P. J. Hauswirth. 



The news of Philip Hauswirth's 

 death came as quite a shock to his 

 many friends in Philadelphia. The 

 deceased had endeared himself be- 

 yond common to many of the leading 

 men of the trade here, and the expres- 

 sions of sorrow on receipt of the sad 

 news from Chicago were universal and 

 heartfelt. The Florists' Club sent by 

 telegraph a handsome floral offering 

 expressive of the combined sympathy 

 of the trade, and there were a number 

 of private expressions of the same 

 kind in addition. We all feel that we 

 have lost one of the finest of men, a 

 warm-hearted, big souled brother, 

 whose energy and enthusiasm for the 

 general benefit was always unstinted 

 and unselfish. We mourn him most 

 sincerely and extend our sineerest 

 sympathy to the family. The general 

 impression here is that Mr. Hauswirth 

 largely overtaxed his strength the 

 past few years with the many bur- 

 dens he so willingly undertook for the 

 public benefit and literally worked 

 himself to death in the intense effort 

 to make good on all he obligated him- 

 self to. May the grass grow as green 

 over his grave as his memory will 

 ever remain dear to all who knew him.

the Secretary's ofiice has of late been 

 unsatisfactory, the real cause of the 

 apparent neglect. We learn from 

 Chicago advices that those who are 

 engaged in straightening out Mr. 

 Hauswirth's unfinished affairs are 

 making good progress and that 

 there is nothing in the situation 

 to indicate anything but scrupulous 

 care in the handling of the property 

 and funds of the Society. 



PERSONAL. 



Although none of his friends real- 

 ized it, it is evident from facts which 

 have come to light since the death of 

 P. J. Hauswirth, that he has been for 

 some time mentally more or less un- 

 balanced. It would appear that he has 

 been unable to bring himself to the 

 routine work of making entries and 

 reports and for some time has been 

 piling everything up, waiting for the 

 tomorrow of better mental condition 

 which never came and this will no 

 doubt explain to those members of the 

 S. A. P. whose correspondence with 



John Mangan, of Frank Millang's es- 

 tablishment, and Miss Margaret Walsh 

 were married on November 27 at Long 

 Island City, N. Y.
