river beyond the present cast and soa'h
boundaries of the park in Wyoming,
concluded to direct the attention of the
authorities to the power offered to them.
Prof, Arnold Hague. of the geological

Noble, with maps and other informatlon,
and Mr.: Noble readily agreed to his Sus.-
gestion that the president be asked to
proclaim the desired extension. This tue
president has done. This proclamation
adds to the cast side OF the park strip
about twenty miles wide and wider
strip on the south extending over the
great Rocky Mountain divide as far west

BmpGEpoRr, Conn, April s.-The
great Snowman, Z. L. Barnnm, died al
Go o'clock last evening in the presence
of his sriei-stricken family. Daring the
period of Barnum's invalidism and con-
tinement to the house, which began
twentv-one weeks ago last Friday, there
have been frequent fluctuations in MS
condition, from each of which he rallied.
although in each instance with slightly
lowered vitality. The change for the
worse, which occurred last night, how
ever, was so pronounced that it con
WINGED the physicians that the patient
had not many more hours to live. when
the end finally came it was peaceful ana
to all appearances painless. The physl-
clans say Earnum had no organic disease
whatever, the enfeebled heart acton
which had been apparent for the pas,
three months, being due to gradual
failure of his general vital powers, re-
sulting from old age. In a general way
Barnum prescribed the directions for his
funeral. lie wished it to be OF private
character and transformations.
