SALT LAKE, UTAH, July 24.-To-day
and tonight ended tbs celebration of the
fiftieth anniversary of the entrance of the
pioneers into the valley OF the great Salt
Lake.
1t was a elimination, a drawing to-
gether of the proceedings of the week, 6 nd
was Witnessed by no less than 100, 600 peo-
pie, who started at sunrise to watch the
unfurling of the Herald flag on Encinal
Peak and wound up with a glimpse of the
fireworks from Capitol Hill at night.
Taking it all in all, it was, perhaps, the
most notable cele ebration in the history of
the Middle West.
To-day Pioneer Wilford Woodruff, not
withstanding his SO years and his many
inirmities, insisted on riding in the pro-
cession with the pioneers, and he was the
recipient of cheers throughout the entire
line of march, which occupied more than
two hours.
The venerable president of the Mormon
church expressed his pleasure and said he
was glad that God had spared his life long
| enough to see the fruition of his hopes

ciliatlon of the various sects in Utah.
| which commenced many years ago, was a
decided pleasure to him, Said he:

the last four weeks many men OF learning g

Us in our religious belief did not prevent

OF worship where they might preach such
doctrines as they believed in. In fact It

THE OONsTITU TIoN's MAINMAsT.

Formed of a Giant Pine From Pike
COMPENSATION Named After 1t.
The dispatch from Washington to the
Sun saying that the New England dele
CATION in Congress is trying to secure
an appropriation to restore the old
warship Constitution recalls the fact that
some OF the tim bers OF the frigate and her
tall masts are the products OF the forests
of Pike County, Pa. 1t was from the
mainmast of the Constitution that town
on the Erie Railroad derived its name.
The town retained the name until about
twenty five years ago, when it was changed
to get rid OF associations with railroad
disaster.
When the Constitution was being built,
Francis and Simeon Westfall, who lived
near Deckertown, Sussex County, n. j.,
hai contract for furnishing the Govern
ment with certain amount OF lum Der Tor
the frigate. One OF the specifications
called for stick of yellow dine eighty
eight feet in length, with diameter of
ten inches at the small end, free from sap.
The contractors searched in vain from
Station Point to Ten mile River without
hndlng the desired tree, and had about
given up hope, when their atten-
ton was called to fine grove
OF pines on the open ridge near
tAc DeldWdTe hlVer, III tHe HOTlHNcSt
ern portion OF Pike County, bordering
on Wayne. They found a tree of the
proper diameter, bat 1t fell eight feet
abort OF the contract length. With spades
and pickaxes they found heavy tap root
running down in a straight line from the
body of the tree. The top was sawed off
and the root cut ten feet from the surface.
Soon afterward the mainmast of the yes
sci that became historic lay prostrate on
the ground. 1t was hauled to the Della
ware and hoated down the river to Phila-
delphia, placed in position, and for many
years carried the Stars and Stripes through,
fire and smoke in many fight. The cost
of this tree to the Government was $1OO.
When the Erie Railroad was built
through that section of Pike County the
story of the Constitution's mast was told,
and the name of Mast Hope was given to
the station near where it was cut. Later,
about 1870, an engineer, while sleeping on
his engine, which was on a siding, uncon-
sciously pulled the throttle as passenger
train was passing, and, crashing into the
latter caused wreck in which cars were
burned and nine passengers were killed
and several others injured. To prevent
the place from being pointed out to pas
sengers in connection with the wreck the
Erie Company changed the name on the
time bles to Pine Grove, although the
Government still retains the old name of
Mast Hope for the Postotfice.-New York

OUR DEBT TO DOLLY MADISON.
Saved the Declaration of Independence
From Falling Into British Hands.

%
From Falling Into British Hands.
The capture, invasion and burning of
our National capital by British forces
under Admiral Cockburn are graphically
recalled by Clifford Howard in the July
Ladies' Home Journal in its notable
"Great Personal Events" series Mr..
Howard lucidly tells of the incidents lead
ing up to the invasion, and pictures the
terror and excitement OF the people OF
Washington, who fed shouting, scream
ing, jostling one another under foot into
Virginia as the enemy approached. Presi-
dent Madison had gone to the front, and
his wife was anxiously awaiting his return,
in fear for his safety. The White House
attaches had nearly all deserted their
posts, but Mrs. Madison had packed all
her husbands papers and records, and as
she was about to abandon the house, be
thought herself of General Washington's s
portrait. The heavy frame lncloslng 1t
was broken by servant with an ak, and
she removed the canvas with her own
hands, keeping it from falling into the
hands of the enemy.
''It was then" writes Mrs. Howard
Just as she was in the act of hurryin g
away, that Dolly Madison was seized with
an inspiration that will ever cause her
name TO live in the heart of every true
American. She stopped to think. What
if the White House should be burned ?
Did 1t contain anything OF value to the
Government that she had neglected? The
Declaration of Independence? In fash
she called to mind this most precious
OF all documents. Carefully treasured in
a case apart.from the other papers it had
been overlooked in the wOrriment and
confusion. 1t must be saved at all haZ-
ards! Without moments hesitation she
turned and rushed back into the house
Stop! for heavens sake, cried her friends
vainly endeavorng to intercept her. Re-
gardless of their commands, regard less
of her danger, the brave woman sped to
the room containing the treasure for she
was willing to sacrifice her life. Without
attempting to open the glazed door of the
case she shattered the glass with her
clenched hand, snatched the priceless
parchment, and waving it exultantly
above her head, hurried to the door, where
she entered her carriage and was rapidly
driven away in the direction OF George
town."

DELIVERING TELEGRAMS.
Interesting Experiences of Messenger
in City and Country.

"The telegraph messenger" said an
old time messenger boy, has to deliver
messages in many strange places. The
message is not like letter, which is SIM
ply left at mans house or place of busi-
ness, to be found by him when he comes
back if he is out, but it is often SO ad-
dressed as to reach him promptly wher-
ever he may lie. Thus it is not unusual
to deliver messages on railroad trains.
One man has occasion to send word OF
something that has turned up after the
other man started. He telegraphs to John
Jones on the 10:30 train at Gristieton, OF
course allowing sufficient margin of
time. The telegraph office is not far from
the station; there is probably an office in
the station. A boy with the message is
standing on the platform when the train
comes in. the chances are that he
doesn't know John Jones, and he starts
at the forward end of the train and goes
through, calling for him.
sit NAV be that this is an unusual ex-
perience for Mr.. Jones, who when he
hears his name called may make himself If
known from half way down the car; or
It may be that Mr.. Jones is an experienced
traveller and man of business, in which
case he waits until the boy is passing The
end of his seat and then stops him quie tly
and takes his message without attracting z
general attention.
IA 10y may have occasion to deliver a
message to a farmer at the plow. or he
may have a message foi somebody in a
church, or in a theater. In the church or
in the theater, if the person addressed is
not known, he may be callei for from the
pulpit or the stage. Ii person addressed
is at theater, it may be that in anticipa-

Major Samuel A. Candy
Ends His Life Near
Vancouver.
Bids Relatives and Friends
Adieu and Springs From
a Steamship.
Believed to Have Been Suffering
From an Attack of Temporary
Alteration.

PORTLAND, Or, July "a. - Major
Samuel f. Candy of Vancouver, Wash,
at o'clock this morning committed SUI
eide by plunging from the steamer Mas
cot while bound for this city. He was
ccompanied to the steamer by mum Der
OF relatives and intimate friends, among
them Edmund Candy, cashier of the Van
couver National Bank, and Colonel Can by i,
U. S. A, retired, with all of whom he
chatted cheerfully.
On reaching the forward deck of the
steamer Major Candy deliberately walked
across to the side OF the boat lying abreast
the stream. There was not q moments
hesitation. With a quick movement he
threw off his coat and cast the garment
upon the deck. The action was seen by a
Mr.. Brown, who sprang toward the would
be suicide.
Following the coat, Major Candy
grasped his hat and threw it toward the
doors leading into the boiler-room. He
balanced himself on the guard rail of the
steamer and Owed overheard.
So quick were his movements that
Brown was unable to cover the fifteen feet
of deck that separated him from Major
Candy in time to seize him and prevent
the desperate act.
With the plunge came cry OF alarm
from Brown of MAN overboardl" 1t was
heard by Mate Blasting and DeckhaEds
Charles Johnson and George Martin.
With a springing jump, the mate
landed on the deck of the steamer and
made for the he&ving line.
At the same moment Johnson and Mar
tin started ON a run for the skiff belong
ing to the saloon-keeper, whose place is at
the ferry landing, the boat being moored
on the wharf side of the Mascot. Martin
secured this boat, Johnson, a moment
later, putting out in another skiff, but be-
fore t Q body was recovered the Major
was dead
Major Candy was about 60 years of age
and man OF considerable prom inence in
Vancouver business and social circles. He
was manager of the Vancouver, Klickitat
and Yakima Railroad. Nc reason can be
given for the impulse which seized Maj jor
Candy and CEASED him to take the fatal
plunge from the Mascot. That the suicide
was unprecedented seems a certainty.
Ma jor Candy was native OF Wilmin G.
ton, Del, where he leaves widow and
seven grown children. During the war
he served as lieutenant in the Fourth
United States Artillery and was brevetted
major for e .liantry in action. He re-
signed from the army in 1868
Three years ago he came to Vancouver
to visit his brother, Edmund Candy and
in search OF health, his nervous svste IN
having become run down to such degree

act of this m forming.
