DEATH OF REUBENF0STER USEFUL CITIZEN OF BALTIMORE ACTIVE IN CITY'S LIFE— MEMBER OF PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NATIVE OF CAPE MAY— HAS THREE SISTERS HERE. From Monday's Daily Star and Wave. The long and useful life of Reuben foster, one of the most orominent citixi us of Baltimore, who hau been Minified with the municipality's most progressive interests for 50 years, came to an end yesterday. His death occurred at his home. *2301 North Charles street, Baltimore He had been ill for several weelcs. MembeA of his fa(njly[*.. d hoped that lie would tally sufficiently to enable them to reinoTe him to the seashore, in expectation that his health would be restored? but this hope was never realized. Iiis condition grew worse, and Thursday night expectation of his recovery was abandoned. Mr. Foster while giving up actual bus- ■ incss activities some years ago, had been in fairly good health, and went to his office in the Equitable Building almost daily to transact various private matters. His son, Arthur p. Foster, the attorney, had offices with his father. In a broad 'sense, Mr. Foster was one , of the most successful builders of Bal- , tiinore. His activities, were most largely displayed as the president of the Chesapeake .Steamship Company, which lie was largely interested in building up. \ He retired from' the presidency of the , company several years ago. The re- | maindcr of his career .was passed in < private life. He was a receiver about | 20 years ago for the railroad system in ; the South which now comprises the , Southern Railway Company. Hugh L. , Bond, Jr.. was associated with liirn as , BECAME ACTIVE IN 1808. 1 . Mr. Foster entered the transporta- ( tion business, in 1808 assuming charge t of the old York River Stenuiship Cora- ; panv. The sti-amers of this company I. operated between Baltimore and West I Point. This company was afterwards 1 consolidated with the Powhatan Steam- e boat Company with vessels sailing be- li tw.-en Baltimore and Richmond, via the r James River.* Later these companies were absorbed by the ISaltiuiqre. Cliesa- s peake and Richmond Steamboat Com- c panv. This company was incorporati-d v with a capital of $1,000.0011 in 1874. In h the present Chesapeake Steamship t Company was incorporated with a f. capital of $1,000,000. and among the in- t corporator.- were Reuben Foster. Skip- j a with Wilmcr. Reuben Caryl Foster, Hen- ! I> ry Waters and 1J. F. Newcomer. This t, .company took over tlie pro|H>rtv of the p Uultimdre. Chesapeake and Richmond i \i Company and also the York River Line, a lie re-igned from the presidency of the t. new company in. 1000. |t| 'Hie tratlic of this company iucreasoU '' iiiuler-Jii- management since 1874 about j 800 per cent, in passenger business and I 900 per cent, in freight.

All ships of the company and all the j . property iii that port and others cfcrried i tiieir flags at half-mast yesterday. The! ^ City of Anna|«ilis and the City of Bal- . timore. two of the company's steamers, left there last night with their flags at . half-mast. While rib?" generally known j among the members of the crews of the steamers. Mr. Foster had always been ' ready to -see tlie men when any grievance or request brought tliem to the office while lie was president and there was a general good feeling towards him among these men. President Ray Coqipton. of the company in Baltimore, stated , yesterday that while Sir. Foster had not been actively engaged in the company's business for some years, his advice and sound judgment had alwava been valued very highly by sfll the officials and his death will he mourned by all of tliem. Tlie board of directors of the company is widely scattered at preseTft, many of tliem being on their summer vacations, but as soon as they return suitable action on the death of ! the former president is to be expected. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon from the home. Rev. Dr. Robert P. Kerr, former pastor of Xortlimlnster Presbyterian Church, had charge of the sen-iocs. Burial was in Druid Ridge Cemetery. PROMINENT IN ClVIC LIFE. Mr. Foster, while closely confined to r the affairs o£ tlie Chesapeake Line, had time for civic matters, and was prominent at all. times in 'moremcnts toward -the betterment of tlie city, commercially and otherwise. He was a prominent and well-loved member of the Merchants r mid Manufacturer's A-sociatiou. serving ' as vice president, and in a quiet and , unobtrusive manner did much for that organization. , He was a vice president of the Atlantic Deeper Watenvays Com- ) Mr. Foster was a native of New ' Jersey, having been born at Cape May ] on Oct. 28, 1839. After being educated/. , in the public schools here he went West i 1 at 17 years of age. but becoming dis-j: satisfied r\ the breaking out of tlie war.lj he came home and volunteered in the'

No native Marvlander could have taken a keener interest in the state than ^ Mr. Foster, and -none born in Baltimore could have been more ardently devoted to her welfare. In 1904, when the city; uas visited by a disastrous fire, which caused great loss and called for the prompt action of public-spirited men, I Mr. Foster was included among the loy- ( al citizens appointed by Mayor McLane on the Emergency Committee and was later one of tlie Burnt District commis- | -ioners.

He was also a director of the Home Society, the Baltimore Manual 1-abor School and various other charitable institutions. His interest in matters patriotic and historic was broad and general; and at the time of liia death he was a member of the Maryland Society, the Sons of the Revolution, the Mayflower Descendants, and the Military Order of the Loyal legion. , Although not a club mau, lie was a mem of the Maryland Club, the Merchant! Club and tlie. Baltimore Country Club. sociui intereouse he always had a i-heerful. cordial, democratic mauiicr, and his lightest word had the umnistakablo ring of 'sincerity. His success was honestly won along strictly legitimate lines. He was of A constructive temperament— a builder-up, with no element „f the spectacular In eoliqiositioii.
