Six months ago he was strick-
en- with paralysis, and since that

Judge johnson was about 66
years of age, during more than
half of which his life has been
spent mainly in Utah. He was a

ILL.,, where he continued the study
of law in the Office of Judge @.
Q. Wilson, being admitted to
practice in the Supreme court OF
Illinois, Feb. 1864. IL July OF
the same year he came to Stock
ton and built the first smelter in
company with Henry Monheim.
In 1867 he moved to Salt Lake
and formed a partnership with
Judge Hoge. He removed to
Corinne in 1869 and remained
there 10 years, serving as Mayor
two terms. He went to Challis.

term, living at Brigham CITY. In

Judge Johnson was married a
second time, on January "a. 1886
at Kewanee, Ill. His last wife
was Miss Alice A. johnson.
Judge johnson is we'll known
In this section, and has manv
friends who will be panied to
learn OF his death. He leaves
three daughters in Lemhi and

neck and beak- Like jaws of bird,
with the long arms and membran'
Gus flying web of a bat, and the
essential Characteristic of rep
tile" In some cases they had
short tails; in other cases, a long
tail with a vertical expansion at
the tip. Some were no larger
than our modern bat, while 9th
ers were as much as 20 feet from
tip to tip of their extended wings.
They were reptiles, for all their
wings.
There were a few birds found
in the Cretacious in Bavaria. In
the Triassic were found in the
year 1862, the first known bird
(the Arch@opterye), an undoubt-
ed bird, though with a long tail
with 81 joints in it, with feath-
ers coming out in pairs on each
side of the joints. 1t wings
were armed with claws at the
tips of the fleshy part.
Marsaupials-We find these
animals, represented here now
represented in Australia. In
that queer land they have at the
present day four kinds of Mars
aupials, kangaroos. bandicoots,
wombats and vampires. We
have in this country but one
representative of this family, the
opossum.
THE CRETACIOUS.
The Cretacious named from
it's chalky composition, is prin-
cipaly organic structure, being
made almost wholly of the solid
fled fragments of cast-off shells
of moluscar. 1t has been found
in thick stratas, with small
pieces of flint scattered through
it. In the Cretacious come in
for the first time the hard woods,
such as oak, maple, dogwoods,
hickory, sweet-gum, laurels,
myrtles, etc.
The shells were very abund-
ant, many kinds have been found.
A Naturalist attempted to count
and classify them but gave it up
after spending seventeen years
of his life at the work, and find
ing and nameing over IL, 900 diff
ferent kinds.
There has been found in this
strata 1853 kinds of reptiles, many
kinds of birds (the toothed kind)
are found in this Age.
In Cretaceous times a sea
stretched from the Gulf of Mex
leo to the Artic ocean, where
now are the stake plains. At
the end of the Cretaceous this
sea was raised into land, and the
Mesozoic era came to and end.
THE, CENozo1C ERA
is divided into two periods, Ter
tiary and Quarternary. The for
mer was the Age that saw the
appearance of all our great mod
ern families of animals. Monkeys
were in countless numbers here.
and rhinoceros, crocodiles, first
form of horses, and ruminants
come in here. But it is the Quar-
ternary that is the most interest
ing OF all Ages, and we'll leave
that for another article.

The office of manager of the Womens s Sewing Company was declared vacant at g meeting of the board of directors of that organization yesterday afternoon. Attorney W. W. Allen has held that posi- ton since the company was formed only about a week ago. but in that time he has made himself so generally disltked by his arbitrary business methods that he be- came intolerable to the managing board, and no other course was open but to dis miss him. Allen received his formal dis missal in the following letter:

 According to the story that has reached this city from the East, Hollander gives all the credit for his reformation to an eminent divine who occupies a pulpit here. When he came West he brought with him letter of introduction to this minister from the Rev. Edward Everett Hale, in whose church his family wor- ships. When he was in a repentant mood, having reached the end of his string his letter of introduction and present. ed it.
 He was welcomed to the home of the minister and entertained at dinner. This, as much for his family as for the friend ship that existed between his host and his family pastor in staid New England.
 He behaved like the cultured gentleman he fs and seemed to have cast behind him all his old associates and habits. In fact, he confded as much in his host and that time forward he was a changed man. To those who studied him he was a mere boy, who all his life had been ac- custOmed to handling more money than was good for him. He did not know its value and thought the be-au, end-au or life was to open champagne for his inti- mates.

Mr.. Daniel said he was content neither
with the House resolution nor with the
Senate committees resolution, and served
what he termed a warning to the country
that If the resolutions reported by the
Foreign Relations Committee were
adopted it would mean that American
guns would be turned in the faces of Max
Imo Gomez and his libcrty-loving follow
ers. Senator Daniels speech Was bitter
arraignment Of the President. He openly
charged that the President meant to use
the forces of the army and navy to sup
press the insurgents.
The sharp criticism of the Presidents
action and message induced a heated col
loquy between Senators Daniel and Gray.
Senator Gray said the insinuation was
false and that the Senator from Virginia
DanieD was the only one in the United
States who would dare to make such L
charge against the President. A sensa-
ton followed this charge. Senator Daniel
proceeded in sensational manner. he
said: Il speak plainly. We do not speak
Spanish in this chamber and then stab our
brother under the fifth rib. | am glad to
get into the open air of the discussion per-
mitted in free country"
There was great Indignation among rad
ical Sena tors who were convinced that
war was inevitable at the lack Of vigor
in the resolutions passed by the House,
and particularly in the omission of TIN
clause compelling Spain to at once with
draw from Cuba.
