GEORGE W. CHILDs.

his speedy recovery began topour in to
his family from eminent and promi-
nent men and women in the United
States and from many in England, and
the death of no man in America, in
public or private life, would cause
more generous and widespread borrow
than that of the eminent Philadelphia.
At no time before last night was Mr..
Childs unconscious during his illness.
He recognized those about his bedside
and conversed with them, and en-
pressed any wish for anything he
wanted
George William Childs was born in
Baltimore, Md, May 10, 1929. He was
educated at private schools in his ma
tive city and at the age of 10 years en-
tered the United States navy. After
remaining in the service fifteen months
he quit it and went to Philadelphia,
where he obtained employment
in a bookstore as shop boy.
He was Industrious and economical
and in four years had saved mp a
few hundred dollars, enough to open
small store of his own. At the age
of 81 he was the head of the publish
ing firm of Childs e Peterson. lie
was successful as publisher and the
firm brought out number of excel
lent works. In 1863 he retired from
the firm and Dec. g. 1864, he became
the proprietor of the Philadelphia
Public Ledger, paying for it $50, 900.
1t was then losing heavily and
its circulation was small. In one
year Mr.. Childs cleared the price of
the property. He was best known
through his conduct of this paper and
by his wonderful benevolence. He
apparently conducted business upon
principles the opposite to those
which govern the ordinary
transactions of life. From the
first he had been generous, always
ready to extend helping hand to
those about him and never sought to
triumph ut the expense of his in
dividual associates He prospered so
rapidly that in twenty years after he
purchased the Ledger he had accumu-
lated fortune of $1,000, 0CO and en-
joyed an annual income of $780, 900
from the paper alone OF this income
large proportion was given away
each year in charity
Mr.. Childs visited Chicago in May,
1892, on his way to Colorado Springs
to attend the dedication of the Childs-
Drexel Printers Home, to which he
contributed s., 600

ARIzONA'S CLAIMS.

bined.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Thc senate
committee on territories has now under
consideration the bill admitting Ari-
IONA as a state of the Union. Mr..
Jones of Arizona said the area of the
territory was so great that a line drawn
due north from Chesapeake bay
across Pennsylvania and New York
to Lake Ontario, including all the
American territory lying east of that
line, would not equal the area of Ari-
IONA. Three hundred and ninety miles
in length and $40 in width, it embraced
more territory than was included in
the states of Maine, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, Vermont Connccti-
cut, Rhode Island, Delaware,
Maryland and South Carolina.
1t had nearly six million acres
of pine forest; 1000 miles
of irrigation canals, 1000 miles of rail
roads and annual products to the
amount of sci, OO0, 900. Under the cleo
ton laws of the territories every quail
fed voter must be full citizen of the
United States and resident in the
territory for one year, which prevents
elections from being controlled by the
transient class.
