GONE TO HIS REST.
Fred II. Hart Dies in the County
Hospital

Fred H. Hart died yesterday at the
County Hospital, where he had been
Ill for some time He was familiarly
known as Fred Hart" in all the busi-
ness section, where for years he had
been seen upon the streets, and ex-
cited no little commiseration because
of the unhappy habit that wrecked
what was once a most promising life.
1t is said that he was a sufferer to an
I extent that drove him to drink AT
least 1t is the charitable cover of pity,
| for Hart had often declared that he was
his own worst enemy
When we first knew Fred Hart he
was one of the most active, bright and
progressive newspapermen of the in
terror West He had native ability of
a peculiar order. He was original in
all he did. and all he wrote. He never
copied, never initiated. He was at the
head of lively newspaper in East
ern Nevada, and made it famous the
country over for its keen wit, incisive
criticism and it's insight into the mo-
tives of men.
AS author of the ''Sazerac Lying
Club" he became famous on the Pa
cific Coast for a vein of sarcasm that
was unlike any other, and that has
never been successfully initiated His
Lying Club Sketches We're gathered
in book form, and had successful sale
for years. Hart had what newspaper
men call "a nose for news" But he
was not Paul Pry, and he was as
tender of others feelings as any man
ought to be. AT heart Fred" was the
soul of human sympathy He was open
Ii 10 7, fa1 nd T0
fault. We have known him to be
tested a hundred times, and never
knew him to refuse sympathy or aid
to any one who appealed for it.
He was at one time a man of con-
siderable means, and with his su-
perior abilities and long newspaper ex-
perience he ought to have remained
independent
For the past few years poor Hart
had been living from hand to mouth
by the kind pittances given him by
his solicitation. But he was conscious
of want of consideration for such small
advances. and was full of promises TO
compensate those who aided him. And
be it said, he honestly intended to
perform, and in many and many
case did, by bringing in to his news
paper 1f1endS DlIS OF news, ana PEN
ming clever paragraphs, and occasion
ally writing desirable articles, clearly
stated and we'll built, and always on
matters of real concern. For to the
last Hart retained his intellectual ca
pacity in considerable degree; capacity
to put up a good column, to analyze
case, or broadly criticise a measure
mercilessly, if need be. and when he
did that the knife went in deep and
was sharp.
Fred Hart had other faults than in
diligence of appetite; who has not? But
these We're of minor character; let the
grave cover them all now. A bright,
capable, useful man has gone the way
of many The slender, unkempt figure
of the little old man will be seen no
more upon the streets, where it had so
long attracted attention. For Hart had
that about him, despite his evident en-
slavement, which commanded atten-
ton. 1t was intelligence; brains not
wholly quenched; capacity still as
serting itself.

CHILDREN's SOCIETY.
Last Nights Meeting-How Its
Wards Are Cared For, Etc.

The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children held its monthly
meeting last night, President Van Nor
den presiding. 1t was the smallest
meeting held since the organization of
the society, but those present took a
deep interest in the business before the
association.
Special officer Healy reported on
nineteen cases, and gave an account of
the condition and welfare of the major
portion of the children who have be-
come wards of the society, and are un-
der its care. The report was full of re-
cital, brief, officially cold and precise
in detail, which, nevertheless, embraced
enough of human misery and pitiful
concern to make the heart bleed.
Several important orders were made,
routine business attended to. and the
society then adjourned for month.
