Family Lost Their Lives and In New
York State a Mother Was Drowned
with Her Three Children.
/ Phillipsburg N. j., Dec. 28.-Grover,
aged II. Lucy, aged s, and Pearl. aged
years, children Of Dewitt Geary, a
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad engineer, were drowned in the
Morris canal at Port Golden, near
Washington, this county, Monday af-
ternapp. ;Geary lives very near the
cdnaf ana the children were accustom-
ed to play on the ice when the canal
was frozen. Three times the mother
took her children off the ice, because
she did not think 1t safe. At 4 o'clock
she again missed the little ones, and
going to the canal bank she discovered
hole in the ice. Mr.. Geary, crazed
with grief, rushed to the canal and
jumped into the icy water. He could
not find the children, and 1t was only
with the greatest difficulty that neigh
bors succeeded in rescuing the father.
Geary did not want to leave the water.
and he savagely fought off his friends.
Finally he was pulled from the canal
In a state of collapse Some time later
the llfeless bodies of the children were
dragged from the icy water.
Mother Drowned With Her Children.
Watertown, N. Y, Dec. 2S.-A special
from Alexandria Bay says: On Mon
day three of the children of Charles
Hagerman We're playing on the ice off
the north shore of Wells Island, in the
St. Lawrence river, when 1t broke, and
they all fell in and were drowned. A
fourth child, who was on shore, ran
to the>house and notified her mother.
Mrs IIagerman rushed to the scene,
and in her endeavor to rescue the chill
dren broke through the ice, and she,
tco, was drowned. A man who was at
tracted by the accident dove into the
water and brought up one of the chill
dren, but as he was trying to Chamber
out on the ice the child slipped from
his grasp and perished.

FUTILE EFFORTS.

Many Of our readers will remember
an amusing exposure Of the methods
Of Rev. j. d. Nutting of this city which
appeared in these columns last year. He
resides and his pastoral labors prin-
cipally lie in part of the city thiclSly
inhabited by Mormons. and he had al
ways posed and passed as religious
worker who could pursue his calling
without anlmoslty towards others for
serving the Lord in n manner different
from that taught by his creed. But he
obtained the address of a lady residing
In an eastern state who had recently
become a Mormon. and with no further
Introduction to or acquaintance with
her. wrote to her in n manner intended
to convince her that the church she had
Joined was very reprehenslble body of
people. His letter to the lady and her
rejolnder were published in the News"
and placed the meddlesome minister in
n very embarrassing position.
Since then he has not made himself
conspicuous as an assailant of the Nor
mons. so far as the News" is aware,
until few days ago when he delivered
an address in Cleveland, Ohio, in which
he pretended to tell what the Morinons
believe and practice. His discourse was
reported at some length by the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. and as so reported
is replete with Misrepresentation. But
1t Is not worth while to refute his state
ments. The American people are so
rapidly becoming correctly Informed
about the Mormons. and are learning to
entertain such profound respect for
them, that jaundicod defamers of them
meet with vastly less credence and
sympathy than We're freely given
few years ago.
In fact the change of feeling towards
the Mormons throughout the United
States which has taken place within a
few years is wonderful. For example.
In the central part of Kentucky, few
months ago. n minister undertook to
deliver to a wholly non Mormon audi
ence an antl-Mormon address, but his
hearers interrupted him with Indignant
Kisses, and he was obliged to deslst. \
gentleman who has recently Travelled in
that state told the writer that there are
large districts in 1t In which an audience
composed of the common people will not
listen to a speaker who undertakes to
abuse the Mormons.
The sentiment here referred to as pre-
valling in portions of Kentucky, exists
to greater or less extent in q number
of other states: and as as correct in-
formation concerning the Mormons Is
spread among the American people this
sentiment will spread until at length
such addresses as the one Mr.. Nutting
lately delivered In Cleveland will not
be listened to patiently by an Intelligent
audience. The efforts of such workers
as Mr.. Nutting to keep alive the anti
Mormon prejudices and asperities of the
past, Will prove unavailng.

ARE MORE MEN NEEDEDg

There is already some talk of issu-
time 100000 men. While 1t Is to be
hoped that the war may be over be-
fore the necessity for another demand
upon the patriotism of the country
arises. 1t cannot be concealed that cir
cumstances now exist which may make
this step unavoidable.
When war was first declared, only
the liberation of Cuba was contem-
plated. and this, 1t was supposed, could
be done In comparatively short time,
with the aid of the Cuban insurgents
under General Gomez. Since then the
country has been called upon to solve
the Philippine problem. General
Merritt is asked to go over 5000 miles
from home to conquer an archipelago
defended by n Spanish army. TO do
this he needs considerable force,
at least one equal to that needed for
Cuba.
Then there seems to be change of
opinion as to the real value of the aid
the Cuban insurgents are in q
position to render an army invading
their island. Gomez's operations have
been confined TO burning plantations,
attacking trains and Spanish plckets.
What he could do in real engage
ment Is not known. 1t may therefore
be necessary for the United States to
carry on the conquest single handed,
and in that case more troops than
originally contemplated would be need
ed. However, the enterprise cannot
be abandoned now, and the country.
we believe. stands ready for any sacri-
flee that may be demanded, although
there is general desire for brief,
vigorous campaign.

come law. But the San Francisco
Chronicle points out that under such
section of the city charter, bonds to ali
indefinite amount could be Issued, and
the proceeds expended in response TO
popular demand for public improve
ments, or for employment for idle labor.
The Chronicle reasons as follows:
"The Chronicle believes that there
are many Improvements which San
Francisco might profltably make, and
does not hesitate to express the opinion
that the cost of them should not devolvc
wholly upon the generation making
them. But we think II would be fatal
mistake to make IL too easy to initiate
such Improvements. This the proposed
charter does by providing that an ordi-
nance must be submitted to the people
upon thu demand Of fifteen per centum
of the voters. Under this provision all
sorts Of fantastic projects may be sug-
gested and entertained. II the privi-
lege would cease with the acquisition of
certain utilities the trouble might not
prove so grave, but there Is no assur-
ance whatever that, having once en-
tered upon a comprehensive system of
public Improvement the illusory tenn
porary prosperity which follows the ex-
pendituro of borrowed money would
not be taken for something permanent
and Induce the piling up Of big mu-
nicipal debt
The constitution Of the state Of Cali

municipal Indebtedness above Il certain

Railroad men who have had the
privilege of examining the four new
trains which the Burlington Route on
the LIST OF May placed In service between
Denver and Chicago. say they are us
magnihcently equipped as any In the
country-that even the famous limited
expresses between Chicago and New

and was built especially for the Bur-
lington Route.
The four trains are Identical In ap-
pcarance and arrangement. Each Is
composed of n buffet smoking library
car. Il palace sleeping-car n dining
car. and two reclining chair cars. The
buffet smokine-library car is something
new for Denver Chicago line. II is a
veritable clubhouse on wheels where
one may read. write, smoke. talk. or
play cards, while travelling at the rate
OF fifty miles an hour. II Is handsomely

and well-stocked buffet. The current
periodicals and newspapers are on file,
and carefully selected library is pro-
vlded for the use of passengers. The
sleeping-car Is gem, and the chair and
dining cars are In every way worthy Of
the train OF which they form an i'm
portant part.
The Burlington Route takes these pa
latial trains through to Omaha and
Chicago in marvelously quick time.

Many Horses to be Fntered-Inter-

The sportsmen having arranged
the race meeting at Kapiolani Park
to take place on the 18th OF March,
are feeling barpy over the interest
taken in their enterprise by our local
horsemen-outside of the Jockey
Club, which evidently is in coma
tose state.
The "new" horses, imported dur
ing the past week, with wonderful
records, do not scare the owners OF
horses which have already shown
their metal on our local track at
former meetings.
Mr.. w. M. Cunningham has a
"sure thing horse, which he has
named "Wela ka Hao," and which
he claims can boast Of an official
record OF 2.12l
We have seen several OF these
"sure thing" horses, causing their
hackers to dump big amounts, whe n
matched with "local talent" on this
track. All Of us remember the won.
derful horse, Lot Slocum, which,
according to his owners, had won &C
out of 100 races on the Coast, max.
ing every mile in better time than
$50. Lot Slocum" was introduced
by his owners, Fred Horuer and
Bob Ballentine, to Tom HolliDger's
"Gerster," and the introduction cost
the owners of the sure thing
horse $1,000, which "Gerster's" pro
prietor pocketed with hearty
"come again, boys"
We do not desire to say one wore
against Mr.. Cunningham's horse
the points Of which we know moth
ing, but we simply advise the boys
who do little betting to use thei,
own judgment, and not take any
stock in the sure thing" business
We are glad that the managers o
the meeting are able to present al
excellent program. A large number
of harness horses are being WORKED
and several interesting running
events will be filled.
The track is 10 a splendid condi
tion and is being improved daily.
