Utah has thirty good sized towns in which no newspapers are published. Several of these are county seats. Utah is growing in wealth faster than any state in the Union, but needs more newspapers. The fortieth anniversary of the Ful- ton street daily prayer meeting was recently celebrated in New York. This meeting, which .is. held every noon in a crowded business section of the city, was established at a time of great busi- ness anx! after the panic of 1857, and has been held regularly since that time. An interesting feature of the celebration was the presentation of a portrait of the founder of the meet- ing, Jeremiah C. Lamphier, who is now 88 years .old. An English admiral declares that if the gan-ship.cannot be modified to meet and balance the threat of the torpedo vessel, then the torpedo vessel will herself become the battleship of the future, :and the gun-ship will fall into the auxiliary. or subordinate place. He argues that there would be less risk in men and money in sending a flotilla of swift but small vessels against a battleship than to meet that formidable engine of war with a ship of equal size. The future of naval warfare may abound in such developments. An import movement of gold began late in September with the arrival of $4,000,000 at San Francisco, from Aus- tralia, and the engagement of $2,500,- 000 at Landon and Paris. These are the first imports of importance since last November. \They.are a natural re- sult of the movement of the crops. The active shipment of grain and cotton calls for increased supplies of money at the centers of agricultural produc- tion, and the.deficiency caused by meet- ing this demand is supplied by gold paid by the foreign purchasers of our products. The condition favors a continuanee of gold imports, as we are now selling to Europe monthly from forty to fifty million dollars’ worth of our products .in excess of all that we are buying there. In reality we ought to get $50,000,000 imports. a month. ‘The monthly interest on our foreign debts abroai, however, amounts to $40,000,000 a month, The abuse of the right of petition consists, in part, of an_ indiscriminate use of that methed.of reaching a de- sired end. It is a truism that the obtaining of signatures, fora petition is usually an easy matter. Men sign out of good nature, to get) rid. of im- portunity, because they haye signed similar documents, and s0.on, and sometimes the body of the peti- tion is not even read. -An_— excel- Jent illustration of recklessness was recently furnished. A citizen com- plained to the governor,of a state be- cause a certain criminal had been pardoned. The governor sent for the papers in the case; and the complain- ant was found to have signed the pe- tition for a pardon. He had put his name to the paper without reflection, and had forgotten the fact. But when his own request had been granted, he indignantly held the governor guilty of an act injurious to the public inter est! An important decision relating to the power of removal fram office has been given by Judge Cox of .the supreme court of the Distriet of Columbia. The case was that of John G. Wood, super- intendent of mails at Louisville, Ky., who applied to the court tc.enjoin the postmaster-general from removing him. His claim was that his superior had no right to depose him without giving reasons, beeause of zthe civil service rule recently promulgated by the president, forbidding removals from the classified service except for just cause and upon written charges. Judge Cox dismissed the eomplaint. He held that the power of removal is an incident to the power of appointment, and that both are lodged with the heads of departments. There ean be no restrictions upon the power of removal except by legislation, and any -rules touching the matter, whether mate by the president or civil service ecemmis- sion, are wid. The enforcement of such rules is a matter that lies hetween the presidem and his cabinet. In a similar case in the federal court at Chicago Judge Jenkins has given | a similer decisigan. Under these inter- pretations of tke law there {is no legal remedy for the wiolation of the rule re- cently made, amd the enforcement of ‘that rule must depend solely on the ex- ecutive. After eighteen weeks of negotiation, terms of peace between Turkey an@ Greece were arranged by the represent- atives of the powers at Constantino- ple, and a preliminary treaty was signed Sept. 1$th, and was soon after ratified by the sultan.

Sudden Death of the Distinguished Single Tax Advocate and Candi- date for Mayor of Greater New York Comes as a Shock in the Midst of the Exciting Incidents of the Mayoralty Campaign— Henry George, Jr., Selected to Take His Father's Place on the Ticket. New York, Oct. 30.—Henry George is dead. In the midst of the strife and bitterness of a political campaign the specter of death touched with its ruthless hand the leader of one of the hosts. On the very eve of a climax of human passions and party prejudices, ‘the mysterious messenger provided an anti-climax so much greater than the ‘one which is still to come, that men of all parties have forgotten th anger in grief at the blow which has fallen with such suddenness. Thursday night noisy. shouting throngs crowded halls and streets to hear the speeches that in great part ‘were filled with personalities and bit- ‘terness; rockets flared and fires burned and men argued and argued, and all signs bore witness that the campaign ‘was at its heat. But when the morn- img dawned all was changed. Men were loath to believe that one who had ‘been so much in the public eye in the last few weeks was no more, and for the time being the complexion of the political situation was forgotten in genuine grief. Those who had bit- terly denounced the man who said: “L stand for the real democracy, the demoeracy of Thomas Jefferson,” re- called many touchivg acts in his life which showed his kindly nature and joined in the word which came naturally to the lips of all: ‘An hon- est man is dead.” Thursday night Mr. George spoke in the borough of Queens and later in the borough of Manhattan at the Central opera house. Ile was greeted by large and enthusiastic crowds everywhere. In one of his speeches Mr. George said: “I have labored for years to make myself known, and now -at last three things are written down. 1 believe that all the needed reforms are summed up in the philosophy: “The right of every man to eat, to drink, to speak, as he sees fit, so long as he does not trench on the rights of nen,’ ” Later in the same speech he repeated his threats against Mr. ringing voice that greatly affected his hearers, saying: “Let him go to the penitentiary. He shall go there.” Mrs. George accompanied her hus- band on most of his speechmaking trips and she was with him the last night. The facts regarding Mr. George’: denis re as follows: He arrived at the hotel about 1 o'clock in the morn- ing. He had just come from several large mass meetings. The work of the night seemed to have told on him. He complained of being tired, but his friends and relatives who awaited him thought it only the natural fatigue which follows such hard campaign work. Not long after reaching the ho- tel he retired. Mrs. George awaited him in room 22 of the hotel. It was about 3:30 o'clock when Mrs. was awakened. She found Mr. George sitting in an arm chair. “IT am not feeling quite comfortable,” said Mr. George to his wife. “Won't you go back to bed?’ in- quired Mrs. George anxiously “I will sit here awhile,” wa sponse. Mrs. George at once grew anxious as to her husband’s condition. Mr. George gradually grew incoherent and lapsed into semiconscionsness. Mrs. George was now thoroughly alarmed and called her son, Henry George, Jr., from an adjoining room. Frank Stevens was also called in. Mr. George was now unconscious. A call was sent to Dr. Kelly and he came without delay. Mr. George w still unconscious. All efforts to revive him failed. Without a sign of recognition to those around him he passed peace- fully away at 4:45 o'clock. Mrs. George was prostrated and was cared for by the friends of the family at the hotel. ae Henry George, Jr., Substituted. New Work, Oct. 30. — The Thomas Jetferson Democracy have substituted the name of Henry George, Jr., for the name of his father as candidate for mayor of Greater New York. Henry George, Jr., is the oldest son of the mayoralty candidate. He is about 35 years old and is literary in his tastes. He was at one time managing editor of the Jacksonville, Fla., Citizen, but for some time has been engaged with his father in literary work, which was suspended when the latter accepted the mayoralty nomination. Mr. George has accepted the nomination, which was tendered unanimously. —o— Washington, Oct. 30.—The startling news of the death of Henry George spread quickly through the city. ‘The almost dramatic attitude Mr. George had occupied in the New York contest, his strong personality and the fact that ke had many personal friends and a very large number of admirers here, rendered his sudden death, just on the eve of the election, a shock to the whole community. The question asked by nearly every one was where would the George vote in the mayoral- ty contest go and how would it affect the election. .-- - = the re- other | Croker in a, George | j to succeed the | transper j st pumship Milwaukee has Enthusi: Havana, Nov. 1.— er Alfonso XIIL, with Marshal Blanco, the new governor general of Cuba, on board, was sighted off Havana Sunday morning at 5:30.

AT ST, PAUL Two Men Commit Suicide by Jump-- ing From the Highest Span of the Smith Avenue Bridge, to the Riv- er Below, a Distance of 200 Feet— The General Supposition Is That the Men Had Been Drinking and Other Into Had Bantered Each Committing the Deed. St. Paul, Nov. 1.— An appalling double tragedy took place on the Smith avenue bridge Saturday afternoon, when Jacob Amos, a ¢ igarmaker, and Bergenkreuger, also a cigar- maker, hurled themselves, one after the other, from the highest span of the bridge to the river below, a distance of over 200 feet. The desperate acts were witnessed by a number of people en the bridge and in the vicinity, and appeared to have been deliberate and planned, but no one was near enough to the suicides to intercept them. Both odie: not into space with the rapid- ity of lightning, each man jumping far out from the bridge and whirling over and over with quickening momentum gathered in the fall. Each struck the- water with a kening splash within a few and before the specta- s realized what had happened two had been hurled into eternity under most tragic circumstances. Following the leaps to death the- scene of the suicides was one of in- tense excitement. The tremendous- jump, the evident cool purpose and desperate determination, together with the rash, yet calm execution of what was doubtle an agreement between the men to seek death together, horri- fied the witnesses. Men ran to the- spot where the suicides had plunged to the water and women grew faint with But all were helpless to ren- assistance after the fearful leap. The cause of the deeds of self de- struction i but zely speculatiy: there is evidence to show that both men 1 been drinking, and the gen- eral version is that they bantered each otin into jumping from the bridge while irresponsible from the effects of liquor. A strict si 1 for the bodies was prosecuted by men in boats, but up to a late hour they had not.been re- covered. From Minnesota y Her Father.
