President of the Deseret Savings

WAS WHOLLY UNEXPECTED
BE CONTRACTED A COLD ON
LAST THURSDAY.
Developed Into Congestion of the
Lungs-An Operation Performed
This Morning, But It Was of No
Avail-Was One of the Most
Prominent Men In the City.

James 7. Little, the well-known bank
err died at his residence on East First
South street, shortly before o'clock
this morning, the immediate cause of
his demise being oedema of the CLOTHS.
A GREAT SURPRISE.
The news will be a great shock to Mr..
Littles host of friends in the city and
throughout the state as it was not gen
orally known that he was i'll at all, and
those who were familiar with that fact
did not know that his ailment was of a
serious nature.
The gentleman's lungs were. not
sound, and on Thursday he contracted
a cold, which grew worse, and on Fri
day he called Dr. Richards in. The ply
congested. The patient was ordered to
exercise great care, but he did not, APP
parently, realize the gravity of his con-
dition. He was very cheerful, and prob
ably thought the attack would soon
pass away. He passed one night in a
rather cold room, not taking the pre-
cautions imposed, and the disease was
aggravated. The physician did every
thing that could be done, but shortly
before 8 o'clock last night oedema set
in and Drs Richards, Plummer and
Bascom attended him. TFacheotomy,
the operation of opening the windpipe,
was resorted to as the only chance of
preventing the patient from choking,
and of saving his life, but in spite of
the efforts of the physicians, it was of
no avail.

fined his attentions chiefly to the Desc

leaves a wife and family, and several
brothers and sisters, among them being
Mrs Frederick Gardiner, Brigham Lit

Brooklyn Makes an Offer for the
Transfer of the Baltimore Team.

Baltimore, Oct. 20.-Harry Won Der
Horst, the principal owner of the Balti-
more Baseball Club, has received a bona
fide offer from the Brooklyn magnates
for the transfer to the City of Churches
of almost the entire Baltimore team. The
offer was made about a month ago, but
at that time the Baltimore magnate re-
fused to entertain the proposition. Since
then the magnate has gone down in his
pocket to make up the $4,000 lost by the
local club this year, and he has soured
on the city.
He ran over from New York this morn
ing to consult with Manager Hanlon on
the baseball situation. Later, he ac-
knowledged that he is seriously enter
tanning the idea of transferring the ma
jority of the star Baltimore players to
Brooklyn, with Hanlon as manager there.
In return. the Brooklyn youngsters would
come to Baltimore and would represent
this city, under the leadership of Capt.
Robinson. of the present Baltimore team.
Mr.. Won Der Horst says that unless un-
foreseen circumstances arise, the deal
would not be consummated for at least
a month.
Manager Hanlon verified the Brooklyn
offer, but declined to go into details.

During the three years I was sick had
five different physicians"
The long experience which DR.. Pierce
has had as consulting physician in chief
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute at Buffalo, N. Y. gives him
keen interest in those cases which are
peculiar in many of their symptoms. and
greater in their sufferings that ordinary
cases. After more than thirty years ex-
perience and remembering that the cases
brought TO DR.. Pierce are usually ex-

by other physicians, it may be reasonably
inferred that the skill which has sue

equal to any new demand that you can

The surest way for the sick to gain
