SICK AND DESTITUTE.
Old Colonel" Farnham a Deserving
Object For Charity.

A case of extreme restitution came to
light yesterday in which an old soldier,
called Colonel Farnham, is the suf-
ferer He occupies a cherries room at
264 Main street, and has been sick and
in absolute want for some weeks. The
old man is over the three score and ten
limit and his hair is bleached white
with the frosts and hardships of the
rolling years. Farnham came to these
valleys with Johnsons army, and af-
forwards located permanently in Utah
and experienced the hardships of
pioneer life. He got into mining when
that industry first opened in this state
and made several lucky strikes, which
brought him considerable wealth, but
reverses came and he lost his all, and
now. in the evening of life, finds him
self in perjury and want and overtaken
by sickness.
Councilman Diehl discoveed the
mans condition and for several days
has been soliciting aims from the char

Those who can spare it and are de-
sirous of doing a good act cannot do
better than send a donation TO Mr..

Farnham is well known in the min

has been identified with the west for
many years. He is native of New
York.

WATER In ST. LOUIS.
FIRST REPORTS OF DAMAGE
WERE MAGNIFIED.
Only Fatalities Were George w. Tate
of Benton and His Six Year Old
Daughter.

st. Louis, April This morning the
river Des Peres, at the point where it
leaves Forest Park, was raging tor
rent 400 feet wide
Tonight the stream is almost normal.
The course of the river is, however, a
path strewn with wrecked bridges,
fences and light dwelling from the
northern end of the park to the south
ern civ line.
The river from the park south defines
the western city limits and in its valley
lie the suburban towns of Glendale,
Benton, Howard, Cheltenham and Lux
embourg.
A heav.r downfall of water usually
described as a c!oudburst, began at 8
a. m. and by 6 o'clock the damage had
been done, and the water was reced-
inc.
First rumors were that ten people
were drowned, ard a dozen missing.
Tonight it is known that but two were
drowned and three more missing. The
drowned are George w. Tate of Ben
ton and Nettie. his 6-year- old daugh-
ter. Mr.. Tate's body was found this
afternoon.
The missing are John O'Fallan, Philip
Shelps and Smith Washington. They
belonged to a party of graders en-
camped on the bank of the stream. One
month ago the same usually insignifi-
cant brook overfowed it's banks and
wrought great damage. The immense
brick yards at Cheltenham and the tile
works at Howard had barely resumed
work after the first flood, and again
they are idle, throwing several thou
sand men out of work for weeks TO
come. Traffic over railroads and street
car lines will not be resumed through
the valley before tomorrow night.

An Aggressive Policy.

St Johns, N. F.. April 1.-The gov
eminent announces it's aggressive poll
icy against French fishermen 1t will
strictly enforce the coast fisheries act
which forbids the SEEMING of herring for
bait before the middle of Nav. This
will destroy the French vessels chances
of obtaining early batting. and will
badly cripple their first voyage to the
great banks. The American fishing YES
sells are also necessarily injured some
what by the proposed enforcement, as
they will now be able only to procure
herring taken with nets, which is =
tedious operation. besides costing them
three times as much as by the FORMER
method. The captain of the Gloucester
schooner Levi Morton which is now at
Sound Island. Placentia bay, has wired
the fisheries department asking permits
sion to sein herring, but the request
was refused. The revenue cruiser Flo
ma has been despatched to see that the
new regulations are strictly enforced.

Springs. China Jim told how Yee had
soaked the property with him. using an
assumed name in the transaction. While
the suspicion is strong that Dun Fong
loaned firm money on the trinkets. he
has been allowed to swear that 1t was
advanced out of his own pocket this
being done for the purpose of keeping
the firm in the background. Efforts to
induce Fong Nun and Che Wah to leave
Mercur and Mammoth long enough to
testify have been unavailing. thanks to
the energy of Mrs. King. However. zee
Yen will be examined on the ring Incl
dent this afternoon.
In expressing himself yesterday after
noon, zee Sing said Mrs. King was
China woman who had gotten next to a
great many American ideas; that she
had been in a house of i'll fame most of
her young life. and had tried TO influence
Justice Wenger in behalf of her brother
in-law on the assumption that she was a
ChristianiZed Chinese.
No genuine Chinaman is ever a Chris
tian, said zee Sing, and he says he lies
to fool the American.

Their Debts.

New York, April 1s--There was a
great rush yesterday to pay duties at
the custom house. Importers had heard
that the new Dingley tariff was to be
in effect from April /, and they wanted
to obtain the benefit of the lower duties
under the Wilson law. The total re-
ceipts were 81, 726 453, and of this 81 ,26S,-
322 represented duties on goods with
drawn from bond, leaving the amount
of duties on direct imDortations at
$45S,220. The duties paid were mostly
on wooleps and tobacco. The receipts
at the New York custom house for the
month of March were $17,379, 633. They
W ere exceeded in any one month only
once before in the history of the govern
ment. In August, 1872 after 10 per cent
reduction in the tariff, they were 49,

Mckinley bill went into effect, the du-
ties paid amounted to $17,243,S64 De

IN GUATEMALA.
Opening of the First Exhibition of
the Republic.

OpcA1uS Ol the ElISC GXQ1O1LlOn OF
the Republic.
Guatemala, March 19.-GCorrespond-
ence of the United Associated Presses. /
The opening of the first exhibition in
this republic, which took place on the
18th inst, will long be remembered. The
day was gloriousiy fine, and the parade
in connection with the opening of the
exhibition was the most gorgeous ever
witnessed here. A striking feature was
the splendid marching of the marines
of the United States cruiser Philadel-
phia. The national colors, blue and
white, were displayed from almost
every house in honor of the occasion.
President Barrios arrived at the main
exhibition building about noon and was
escorted TO a seat in the state gallery,
reserved for him. A few minutes after
the presidents arrival he was informed
that everything was in readiness, and,
arising from his seat, the members of
and the judiciary at his left, he de-
clared the exhibition officially opened,
and touched an electric button which
proclaimed the fact to the world.
The opening address was read by Don
Rafael Spinola. The singing of the
national anthem then followed, our ma
rines standing at present arms
throughout This was q, most impress
sive and enjoyable event.
In the body of the building were as
sembled 1000 to 5000 people. who had
been admitted to the building by ticket.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS
WORKING FOR THE SUCCESS OF
THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Will Also Hold an Intermountain
State Convention at Salt Lake on
July 2-Great Interest Is Mani
tested in the Events.

A meeting of the Society of Christian
Endeavor was held last night for the
purpose of devising means to forward
the national meeting of Christian En-
deavorers to be held at San Francisco
in July. 1t was decided to commence the
publication of d paper in Salt Lake in
its interest from now until after the
great meeting is held and the intention
is to make the publication permanent. 1t
is to be called the Inter Mountain Chris
tan Endeavorer, and judging from the
amount of enthusiasm shown ii is pretty
certain to be a success.
An intermountain state convention of
the society will be held in Salt Lake
on July 2, in this city, at which time the
delegates from the various states going
to the national convention will stop off
here for two days en- route. Secretary
Beer has issued invitations to all the
delegations to stop off here and he has
received favorable replies from quite a
number including those from Philadei-
phia, Washington, and also those from
the state of Massachusetts.
The corresponding secretary of the
committee for 1887 has received requests
for literature about Utah from 500
branches of the society, which shows
the great interest that is being taken in
this state all over the country
At the next meeting of the local So
ciety it is expected that programme for
the entertainment of the visitors will be
formulated Inc local people are gong
TO make a great effort to take good care
of their brethren when they come and
no pains will be spared TO make their
visit both interesting and profitable.
The music committee reported that ar
rangements had been completed for a
concert at the First Congregational
church on April u. The best talent in
the city has been secured. and the enter
tainment will doubtless be heavily
patronized. especially as it is given for
the purpose of raising funds to defray
the expenses incident to the San Fran
cisco convention.

The death of Mr.. John t. Low,
which occurred at his home near
Salisbury, Tenn, Monday, Feb. %,
1897, removes from our midst one
of the most prominent citizens of
Hardeman county. He was a gen.
tleman of great personal popularity,
high social standing, indisputable
integrity and of influence. He was
public spirited and energetic, and
was possessed of abundant means, of
which he contributed literally to
charitable institutions and other
worthy enterprises. He was a de-
voted and exemplary member of the
Missionary Baptist church was
Grand Protector for the State of
Tennessee of the knights and Ladies
of Honor was Royal Arch Mason,
and stood high in the orders of the
Knights of Pythias and knights of
Honor. y wife, four children and
legions of friends are left to mourn
his death.
The following biographical sketch
is taken from Goodspeed's History
of Tennessee
"John L. Low was born June 10,
1851, two miles southwest of Sauls-
bury. He was raised on a farm and
received such educational advant-
ages as the average schools of that
day gave. When 10 years of age, he
entered aUniversity at Murfreesboro
where he remained two years.
Returning home, he became inter-
ested in agriculture, and devoted his
time to that pursuit, in which he
met with prosperity. On Deem
Der %, 1874, he was married to Miss
Josie Guy, at Columbus, Texas"
