AN DBL FOLKS GROUP.

ment of the last two days Will have
passed away. Yesterday was set apart
for the grand rally of the old people at
Garfield Beach, and it was a day of
enjoyment TO them all. Most of those
who came from places outside of this
city returned to their homes last even
ing, wearied. perhaps, from the excite
ment of the last two days, but all of
them happy. 1t has been many a day
since Garfield Beach had as many Wis
itorS as yesterday. No matter where
one went, the pavilion, the main wait
ing room and balconies at the station,
or the dining pavilion opposite, there
was not a seat to be obtained anywhere
and standing room was at a premium.
The first train left the city at o'clock
and several hundred OLD people who
wished to avoid the crowds on the later
trains went out on this, and were joined
by the delegations from Tooele county,
who went to the Beach in wagons. The
next train was special and left at 9
o'clock. There were 10 cars in it, and
they were all filled. Most of the old
people waited for the 1915 train, which
reached Garfield about II o'clock. 1t
was composed Of II cars, and every one
of them was crowded. not only with old
people, but also with the younger ones,
who went along to take care of their
aged relatives or friends. There were
between 1900 and 5000 people at the
Beach. and half that number were over

Senator Morgan's Bill.

gan today introduced a bill for the
annexation of Hawaiian islands. The
bill provides that the islands shall be-
come a territory of the United States
in accordance with the terms or the
recently negotiated treaty. The date
set for the extension of the laws OF
this country over the islands is the
4th OF March. 1898. but it is specifically
provided that they may be put in force
at an earlier day if congress so dl-
irects. 1t is also directed that the
five commissioners provided for by the
treaty make the recommendations 10

dollars for the execution of it's pro-
visions. Out of this sum the interest

but provision for the payment Of the
principal of the debt is deferred
In reply to a question, Senator Nor
gan said that his bill was intended TO
carry the annexation treaty into exc

the senate or to provide for its ratifi-
cation by the joint action of the two
houses in case the senate should refuse

be ratified in this form by majority
vote in each of the two houses, thus
avoiding the necessity for securing
two-thirds of the senate as would be
required If the matter should be passed
by that body alone.
The senator said that circumstances
would determine whether the bill
should be pressed during the present
session of congress

ing them of the care she took of herself
in her everyday life, and some one
suggested that if she would continue
this she could p:olong h1- life. The old
lady smiled and said: Dear people, l

INFIRMARY DELEGATION.
One of the most interesting delega-
tons at Garfield yesterday was from
the county infirmary. There were 25 of
the aged inmates there, the most of
them women. They were in charge of
the superintendent. Mrs Jennie b.
Whipple. The mental faculties of most
of them were greatly weakened but
they all looked up to Mrs. Whipple. like
little children 10 a mother ThA
watched her every action and were
distressed whenever she wandered a
few yards from them. She cared for
them as if they were young children
and never allowed one of them to stray
from her sight. There was one very
bright old lady among the number.
Mrs. James Mckinney. or Grandma
Mckinney, as she is known to every
one. She was born in ireland about
SO years ago. but came TO this country

Utah for 30 years. The old lady is
feeble. but her mind and memory are
clear. her faculties of hearing are good
and she can walk short distances with
out assistance. But the light of day
has gone from her and she can see
nothing but shadow fit before her
eyes. a shadow which must soon pass
away with her own life. Many people
spoke TO her during the day and she
greeted all cordially. A Herald re-
porter asked her to sit for a sketch and
she readily consented, and took great
interest in everything that the artist
did though her old eyes can never see
the picture Grandma" Mckinney is
a good Democrat and said that she
bought a copy of the first issue of the
Salt Lake Herald and that she read
the paper as long as she had her sight.
Late in the afternoon she was formally
introduced TO the other old folks and
she made a short speech from the plat
form in the dancing pavilion, telling
everybody that her last days were
happy.
There were many amusing incl
dents during the day as well as
pathetic ones. Charles r. Savage, who
is one of the leading spirits in the Old
Folks movement, is known not only as
a promoter of these annual entertain
ments. but in business life he is a
photographer. Yesterday he was ap-

Governor of Washington Not at All
Afraid of It.

Tacoma. Wash, June Ex-Governor
Rogers stated, in reply to a question
regarding the Debs' colony. that the
laws of the state would be maintained
and would not be revolutionized by
anybody or any set of men. He did not
believe that Mr.. Debs had stated that
he proposed to stir up revolution and
revolutionize this government. But so
far as the state of Washington is con-
cerned, he said. the laws would be sus-
tanned If every loyal citizen had TO he
enlisted TO do it. He did not anticipate
that the Debs colony would throw into
the state lot of men who had no
means of supporting themselves.
He had had some correspondence with
Mr.. Debs. and the plan of colonization
which the governor approves is that of
having 100, 000 or a large body of men
contribute a small amount say % cents
per month. toward colonization pur-
poses. This would bring $4,000 per
month to this state. provided Debs To-
