THE DAVIS WILL.
Miss Calhoun Claims That She and
Other Claimants Have Been Asked
to Compromise. 1.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29-The
Calhoun claimants and the contestants
of the will of the millionaire miner of
Montana, Andrew J. Davis, have been
asked to compromise and to end the
litigation which has been in progress
for SO many years. Eleanor Calhoun,
the granddaughter of Davis and the
Californian who has won so many hon
ors on the London stage, arrived in
this city. She has come to inform her
relatives of the negotiations that have
been under way in New York.
Miss Calhoun was not inclined last
night to discuss the will contest in
detail The legal fight has been in pro-
gress for several years. Davis, it will
be remembered, left an estate of over
100000 to a collateral relative, ig
noring his wife and two daughters,
who live in this state.
Very little can be said as yeti said
Miss Calhoun, 'as the negotiations
have not gone much further than an
offer of compromise. We have been
asked to settle the contest and it may
be that we will see our way clear to
accept conditions which are disagree
able"

The historical old council house lot
ait the corner of Main and Brigham
streets was once more subjected to a
change of ownership yesterday. 1t
was purchased from the Saft Lake Lit
erary and Scientific association by A.
H. Cannon for the Utah and Pacific
Improvement company. the considera-
ton being 100000 cash. The company
will erect upon the property five
story building for it's Offices, together
with those of the Utah and California
and Salt Lake and Pacific railroads.
The negotiations for the sale We're
closed and the transfer made at a
nesting of the society, held yesterday
morning, at which time the officers
of the association decided to forego
the original intention of leasing the
property for a term of ninety-rfine
years and retain the right TO use the
top floor for library purposes and ac-
cept the offer of the improvement com
pany.
The transfer marks another epoch in
the history of one of the best known
landmarks of the city AS one of the
first lots upon which a building was
erected in Salt Lake, it has been the
silent witness of all the many changes
that have since come.
The legislature of the provisional
state of Deseret assembled in the old
council house, which stood for many
years ON the lot, as did also the first
legislature Of the territory of Ubah.
The first issue of the Deseret News
was published in THE same building,
which also served at one time as the
chief seat of learning in the territory,
both as the commercial college and the
University of Deseret, where many of
the prominent people of the Utah of
today received the principal part of
their education. The old building was
destroyed by fire June 81, 1888.
The property under its new owner
ship will perhaps play a more conspic
uous part in the development of Utah
even, than in years gone by.

Bishop Fitzgerald on the Recent
Methodist Matter.
CLEVELAND, o., April 29.-The adj
vance guard of the Methodist general
conference, which is to convene on Fri
day, is beginning to arrive. The first
dignitary to reach the city was Bishop
Fitzgerald of New Orleans. The bishop
was interviewed ON the question of the
admission of women delegates and
said:
Il think the women delegates are en-
titled to admission
You think they will get in, them"
ooh, l think they are already in
When asked regarding the PROPOSE
church more liberty, he said he thought
they had already all the liberty which
Christians could desire. He also eX-
pressed himself as unfavorable to an
extension of the time limit for Metho-
dist ministers in charge of churches.
Before the Epworth League national
cabinet, the bishop gave an exhaustive
address. in the course of which he talk
ed of his recent visit to South America
and Europe. Other prominent Metho-

ment of mercy and help of the Epworth
League and Rev. DR.. Lucien Clark, of
Baltimore, editor of the Christian Adj

TIE TURF.
Rasca1ity of the Alleged Sports in
San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2s-Mar-
jorie, the speedy Iroquois FLY who ap-
peared to have the last race on the
card at her mercy, was scratched at
the last minute yesterday because she
wheezed in her preliminary gallop.
In her preliminary gallop the filly
breathed in q strange and altogether
unusual manner. Frank Phillips, the
owner of Marjorie, who is also a very
careful observer, promptly reported
the matter to the judges, and the filly
was excused from the race and twenty
minutes allowed for a new book. A
veterinary, after considerable time, dis
covered a sponge stuck in her noStrils,
which explained the peculiar breathing
of the flly when she was galloped
through the stretch. This discovery
unearthed the most modern method of
"deadening" a horse and one that has
doubtless been practiced in California
for some time. The impression pre-
vailed that Decision was ''doped' in
her last race. She ran well for a little
way, but stopped to almost a walk
near the finish. The mare has been
sick ever since the race. The veterin-
airy made an examination of Decision
and discovered a sponge in her nostril
also.
The board of stewards is now en-
gagged in making an investigation of
this latest scandal, and it will go hard
with the culprit if he is found out.

DR.. Union Worthington, President and
the Officers of the University Club:
Gentlemen-Your note of the 27th
inst. was handed me late last night.
thank you sincerely for the kind eX-
pressions 1t contains, and l certainly
appreciate the very complimentary in
vitation you extend to me to lecture in
this city on the Canyons of the Colo
RADIO fliver of the West"
L shall be pleased to comply with
your request and will arrange to give
my journey down that mighty river
and the scenes in its canyons, on Mon
day evening next, May 4, in the First
Congregational church.
Let me remark, however. that no
human language can depict the grand
eur and beauty that nature has
wrought while carving out the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado, which Major
c. E. Dutton has called 1.-The most
sublime thing on earth" In order to
give you some idea of these wonders
l will select 100 views from the 1000
photographs taken on that journey,
and these will be shown by means OF
stereopticon to illustrate what l have
to say. Many of these pictures are
colored true to nature and show the
beauty of the startling colors of the
walls of the canyons.
I shall also be pleased in my humble
way to tell you, as you request, some
thing of the present possibilities and
the future greatness of the southern
part of your own state.
Again thanking you for your very
kind note, L remain, very respectfully
yours, ROBERT B. STANTON.
The lecture will consist of a descrip-
ton OF the hazardous journey of 1,4OO
miles by boat down the Colorado and
through its canyons, made in 1SS9-90,
during which the president of the rail-
road company and two boatmen were
drowned, and Mr.. Stanton himself was
dashed into the whirlpool of one of the
$40 rapids, falls and cataracts over
which the party travelled. The grand
eur and beauty of the great canyons
and the dazzling effects of color at
sunset and sunrise will be shown by
100 stereopticon views taken during the
expedition. This lecture has been de-
livered in many cities of the east and
in California and has received the high
est praise from artists, literary men
and the press. But the pictures OF the
interior of the Grand canyon reveal
new form of beauty and grandeur
known nowhere else in the world.

So writes a happy man fresh from the
Slough of Despond.
Well, the discovery has been proclaimed,
but men are slow to believe.
The way is open to inquire, to investigate.
Why will not every man do so?
There is simple way to cure at home all
those baneful effects of the sins of youth and
the excuses of later years which blast the
lives of multi tudes of men.
There is a way to regain strength lost by
disease, overwork and worry.
A way to secure and retain the abilities
sacrificed to dissipation-to "be glad again
after suffering an atonement.'
A way to repair drains on the system that
sap the vitality.
way to replace nervousness, dread and
dependency with courage and self-respect.
A way to give full strength, development
and tone to every portion of the body.
A way to remove every obstacle to happy
and fruitful married life. &
All this is clearly shown in a little medical
work recently published. 1t is net book
for general circulation, being purely medical
and scientific and for men only who need adj
vice and aid
How to get it: Write to the Erie Medical
Company, Niagara Street. Buffalo, N. Y, say
you read the article in this paper, and ask
them to send you the book called Complete
Manhood and the Way to Attain IT. They
viii send one copy entirely free, in plain
sealed wrapper, to any man who writes for
it in good faith.

FOREIGN FINANCES.

New York, April 29.-The Evening Posts
London financial cablegram:
The markets today were dull on the I'M
certainty of the fate of the prisoners at
johannesburg. The news that the death
sentence had been committed caused a
general recovery but it is felt that while
the position in South Africa remains as
at present, speculative activity will be
checked. The sentence of the sixty MEM
bers of the reform committee means a
severe check to the gold industry at the
Rand.
Americans opened dull in sympathy with
the other markets but recovered and at
the close were firm at the best of the day.
Mines were wonderfully steady consider
ing everything. The copper mines were
very strong on the reported combination.
