DEATH OF JoAB LAWRENCE
A PhilanthrOpic and Respected
Citizen Passes Away.

Captain Joab Lawrence, enc OF Salt
Lakes old and respected citizens, died
at his home-the residence of the late
Paramount LittIe-at $40 o'clock on
Friday evening. Though the Captain
has been confined to his room for some
days, his death was unexpected by
those outside his immediate family and,
therefore, the sad news did not become
public until yesterday morning.
Mr.. Lawrence came to this city early
in me seventies and has since been an
almost constant resident here. In the
early days he engaged extensively in
mining IN Tintic District and also IL
Big CottonW God Canyon, and from
these ventures he realized fortune as
extensive, probably, az that of any man
in Utah. But even after his fortune
was made, his name was not made
that was left for the mission of philan-
thropy he then had before him. IL was
his patronage of art and his extensive
private charities that placed him in
position that few men in this Ter
Iitory have attained. Many 8 home
artist has Mr.. Lawrence to thank for
great share of the patronage that has

it is safe to say that no poor man was
ever turned away from his door. But
his charitable acts were told by the
recipients; it seemed to be his aim to
keep them secret.
Mr.. Lawrence had no children
though Mrs. Lawrence, by a former
husband is the mother of Mrs. NJ. G.
Fox of this city. Some ten years ago
Mr.. Lawrence built the house he
formerly occupied on South Temple
Street and this ne furnished beautifully
and made it his home until, broken
down in health, he was obliged to seek
change OF air and scene. During the past
five years he has ira yelled extensively, in
quiet way on both continents
during which time ne made one short
visit to Salt Lake. Then, about two
months ago, he returned to this city for
the last time, renting the Little res
idence on First South Street and lead
ing the retired life his ill-hesIth i'm
posed upon him.
A man with large heart backed by
judgment which never let him mis-
place his confidence or charities, he
goes to his grave with a name that will
be remembered long by all who lived
here in his day.

A NEEDED EXPLANATION

The recent ad. in THE HERALD an
nouncing that the Salt Lake Oil Com
pany was ready for business in their
new scheme of delivering Coal Oil and
Gasoline free of charge, in quantities
of halt gallon and upwards, has SO
swamped the company with orders that
they have found it impossible to can
vass the city thoroughly. More wagons
have been telegraphed for, and by De-
cember 18th it is expected that the city
will be covered thoroughly. The fur
nishing by the company to their Spa
irons of the.large cards which are hung
out when oil is needed is also great
hit. Until the additional wagons ar
rive, customers will please overlook any
apparent neglect.

sign any contract. Leave orders at the
