An UntimelY Death.

One of the saddest events of the past
week was the untimely death of David
Connors, the only child of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Connors. The young man was
we'll known in Salt Lake and Ogden.
having spent most of his life here with
the exception of two years at All Hal
lows college in Salt Lake. He was a
maker of friends, and in the brief pc
riod between his birth and death
between Oct 81, 1876, and Feb. Is. 1897
he formed many, many ties of friend
ship which only death could rend
asunder. His life was rich and full
of promise. Success seemed TO come
at his command, and yet success did
not spoil him or alter in any way
his bright, sunny disposition. Neither
did adversely. He sickened and it was
soon known that nothing could save
him. All his doings in this life were
confined to within a constantly de-
creasirg number of months. All his
generous, noble ambitions were put
aside without a murmur. Hardly a
while for 16 weary months cancer
like tumor was feeding on his life.
He was conscious to the end, and his
dying words were: Everybody be kind
to nv mother" He was buried from
St. Josephs church, and the eloquent,
pathetic, heartfelt sermon of Father
Cushnahan brought tears TO the eyes
of those who had not wept for years.
David Connors will not soon be forgot

That Membership Test.

There is a great deal or discussion.
newspaper and otherwise. that has
grown out of the organization of the
Y. NJ. c. A branch here in Ogden.
Columns of explanation and COM
ment. the latter for the most part un-
favorable, have appeared on the sub
ject of the membership test"
Father Cushnahan says good Catho-
lies can not subscribe to the promise
required. because it requires the in
dorsement of scriptural infallibility and
other tenets inconsistent with the Cath
ole faith. Prominent Mormons say the
test can not be consistently signed by
Mormons. No one can successfully
dispute that the test required is in
consistent with the two faiths named,
and it is to be regretted that the test
has to be imposed.
But there is another view of the
matter that is about to be lost sight of
in the discussion. Because young men
can not make the professions required
by the international constitution OF the
Y. NJ c. A. for active membership is
no reason why they can not enjoy its
benefits. Associate membership carries
with il al privileges of active men,
bership except that of voting and
holding office. Prominent Mormon
young men belong to the association in
Salt Lake as associate members; prom
inent Catholics belong in every city
where the association exists.
If The Herald understands the ques-
ton in issue. the active members of
Utah urge no young man to subscribe
to the test if he objects. The Ques-
ton to be decided by the young men
of Ogden is. do they want associate
To many ii will seem
lust as honorable as active member
ship, and the actual benefits are just
as important. Others may hold other
views. but it does seem that this is a
question to be decided by each indi-
vidual for himself.
Condemnation of the test is not con-
domination of the work of the Y. NJ.
c. A. nor of any of the value it gives
for u cents per week to all young men
of good character who apply

A New Bicycle Game.

A new bicycle game. or rather a
game which can be played on wheels.
has lately been evolved by cycling
genius.
1t is called the Royal game and re-
qures a court or field. divided into al
leys. Two teams of nine riders each
take part and the field is divided into
a right and left field, with the courses
chalked out plainly. An alleyway,
constructed of ropes or cables, extends
from the upper to the lower field on
the division line between the right and
left field Gables also form two upright
sides between which the play wheel
rolls and is driven backward or for
ward by the riders in passing at any
point between the lower and upper
field. The play wheel is a single BIZ
cycle rim. having a four and one-half
inch pneumatic tire.
The idea of the game is to drive this
play wheel from the center field
through attack of opponents, to a goal
ahead, the riders using sticks especial
ly made for the game. The ends of the
alleyways are the goals for the re-
spective teams.
Players ride in single file and always
circle TO the left. Thus the two trains
are constantly meeting and passing
each other in opposite directions on the
upper sides of the alleyway.
Royal is game requiring swift rid
ing and much skill. and novice would
scarcely. venture 10 form one of
team.

hearty reception than that accorded
to William ]. Bryan this afternoon.
When his train arrived from the west.
the hills overlooking the depot were
covered with people.
AS Mr.. Bryan alighted from the car
he was met by Governor Stephens and
a reception committee from both
houses Of the legislature. The party
was driven to the governors mansion,
where a light repast was served.
At $3.50 the party entered the hall of

A pleasant road;
l DO not ask that Thou wouldst take from
Aught of its load:
do not ask that flowers should always
spring
Beneath my feet;
know too well the poison and the sting
OF things too sweet.
For one thing only, Lord. dear Lord, L

Lead me Alright
Though strength should falter and
though heart should bleed
Through Peace to Light
do not ask, o Lord that Thou shouldst
shed
Full radiance here;
Give but ray of peace that I NAV tread
Without fear.
do not ask my cross to understand
My way to see;
Better in darkness just to feel Thy hand
And follow Thee.
Joy is like restless day; but peace divine
Like quiet night;
Lead me. o Lord. till perfect day shall
shine
Through Peace to Light.

The Men Who Govern.

Governments. like clocks, go from the
motion men give them; and as govern
ments are made and moved by men. so by
them they are ruined. too. Wherefore
governments rather depend upon men,
be good, and the government cannot be
bad; if it be ill, they will cure it. But if
men be bad, let the government be never
so good, they will endeavor to warp and
fore, which makes a good constitution
must keep it. viz: Men of wisdom and
virtue; qualities, because they descend
not with worldly inheritances, must be
carefully progagated by virtuous edu-
cation of youth; for which after ages
will owe more to the care and prudence
of founders, and the successive magis-
tracy, than to their parents for their
private patrimonies.-William Penn.
