General was so well pleased with him
that he asked Mr.. Brown to remain with

nearly three years, passing through the
great battles in which the General was
engaged When the war closed General

A3Utah Notable.

Mary,s Vale Is a beautiful valley
through which the clear, swift and deep
SEWER River flows. 1t contains q min
ing camp, and is the home of General
Agramonte, one of the most noted char
acters of Utah. The saints call him
/" Big Windy" in ridicule of his re-
markable conversational powers. just
previous to my arrival an attempt had
been made to assassinate him. Three
shots were fired at him from the bushes
of the SEWER River, none of which took
effect. He returned the fire with q
ShaIp's rifle, and on the following day
q wounded saint was found being care
fully cared for in . neighboring village.
The General married Miss Clara Stone

Young, Brigham's most talented sony,
and being Gentle and q bold speaker
of opinions is not one of the loved ones
of Zion. He claims direct descent from
q famous Castilian king; he served on
the staff of Union General during the

nently identified with the Cuban rebel

General Agramonte. Accompanying
him were two beautiful boys, ten or
twelve years of age, grandsons of the
Prophet. never passed more agree
able evening. As wit, story teller,
mimic and eloquent narrator of exciting
events have rarely seen his equal. he
speaks English, Spanish, French and
German with equal fuency, and " sets
table in q roar" as naturally as though
laughing were the chief business of all
mankind. I could not bring myself to
believe that he was of Spanish descent.
After he had retired for the night 8
short conversation occurred on this
point. One gentleman thought he was
an Englishman, another thought he was
a Dane. The third said: 81 Gentlemen,
I remember reading an incident in one
of Marryatt's novels. A finely uni.
formed officer was pacing the quarter
deck with great dignity, when sailor,
who had fallen from the masthead,
struck the deck Immediately behind
him. Where the dickens did you come
fromP' inquired the officer, with some
asperity. From the North of Ireland,
yer Honor, was the prompt reply. That
IS my opinion of Agramonte. I believe
that he came from the North of Ireland.
He is certainly one of the shrewdest,
wiitiest men in Utah. San Franciscs

The Latest Slang Words.

the times they will take out their PEN

specimens. "Catouche - is very new

New York Hotels.

As New York attracts visitors from ALI
parts of the world the hotels are we'll
patronized. Some new features, how
ever, are now introduced which show
how wealth and luxury can increase the
cost of support. Here is the Sherwood
IA Fifth Avenue establishment-noti in
tended for transient guests, but for
boarders of the highest rank. 1t con-
tains no single rooms, being laid out in
suites of three or more. These rent for
$40 to S160 per week, to which Is added
the price of board, which is not
less than $40 per week. There are
families at the Sherwood whose bill is
81 900 per month, and If the reader is
desirous of getting rid of his money IN
an elegant as well as repid mcpner, he
will know where to take rooms. The
Broadway hotels charge from $3.50 to
$5 per day. Other houses rent rooms
by the night or week, and the guests
take their meals at the restaurant in the
basement. Lovejoy, the originator of
this system, became famous in his day
and made fortune. He charged fifty
cents nightly for rooms, but at present
the price is 81. In addition to these are
the cheap hotels near Washington Mar
ket, which are always full and are max

charge from 80 to IS cents for rooms

Another pioneer and Christian veteran

Jesus. ti E
Rev. Abel Wood ended this life at his
late home in Spencer, on Tuesday, Nov.
1, 1881, aged 20 years and % days.
g He was born in Sussex County, N. j.,
October 9, 1902. His folks moved to

to Ashland County in 1918. He was mar
ried TO Miss Catharine Rowland, Of Rich
land (now Ashland) County, in 1928. In
1881 moved to Spencer, Lorain (now Me-
dina) County. In 1888 his wife died in
the triumphs of living faith, leaving him
with seven children, all Of whom are now
living. In 1874 he was licensed TO exhort
by the Quarterly Conference of the NJ. L.
Church, of which he has been q member
for about sixty years. In 1885 he was or
dained deacon, at Mt. Vernon, o., by Bish-
op Morris, and in 1862 was ordained elder
by Bishop Scott at Wellington, O. In
1888 he was married to Mrs. Sophia Tubbs,

October o, 1881, on the anniversary of
his birthday, he preached his last sermon,

Revs. Norton, Whiting and Starr told Of
the many pleasant associations they had
had with him, and spoke in high terms Of
his noble Christian character. ~
Few men leave such a noble record as
Rev. Abel Wood has left. His pocket
book was ever open to every benevolent
purpose. If kind word was needed he
always gave it. He helped "the weak
and erring brother" raised the fallen,
