TIE SALT LAKE HERALD: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY SIS

at the pleasure of the president. Said
commissioner shall not hold any other
Office or employment under the author
ity Of the United States or any state"
Neither Senator Ell1ins nor Mr.
Bowers Eretends that the latter is
q person of scientific and prac-
teal acquaintance with the fish
and fisheries of this country, or any
other, as for that matter 1t is said
! that he is a very smart man and
catches on soon" His ability to
catch on soon" is demonstrated by
the manner in which he caught on to
for az office for which he is totally un-
qualified. His qualifications for the
Office are set forth by Mr.. Bowers him
self in the local papers. We take them
from the Washington Star correspond
ence of the Philadelphia Ledger:
George NJ. Bowers was born at Ge-
rardstown, Berkeley county West Vir-
ginia, III 1858. He was educated in the
schools OF his native county, and since
early IN life he mas shown marked
business ability, and is connected with
many enterprises. He is a Skilled finan-
cier, and has served as director of sew
eral banks. He has also managed
many business concerns, and has rail-
road connections.
Mr.. Bowers was elect I'd TO state con-
ventions, and when only % years old
obtained a seat in the legislature
which he filed with great credit TO
himself and to the satisfaction of his
constituents. In 1883 he was the Re
publican candidate Tor state auditor,
but was defeated by 800 votes He has
M lfr,
state Office. General Goff referred to
him during this campaign as his right
Bower. During this year he was also
vice chairman of the national Republic
can league, and he brought out a
heavy vote in his state.
In 1890 he was made supervisor of the
census for the state of West Virginia
and was appointed a commissioner to
the Worlds Fair in 1891 by Governor
Fleming, and turned back into the
treasury of his state nearly $4,000
which was left unexpended. He was a
delegate to the Minneapolis conven-
ton. and was on the committee which
notified General Harrison of his nomi-
nation.
Since President McKinley's election,
Mr. Bowers has spent much of his time
in the study of ichthyology, and has the
finest library on the subject in the
south. There are very few men so
fitted for the position of fish commits
sioner as Mr.. Bowers, as, by careful
study, he has learned the habits of the
fish in all sections of the country.
And such men as Baird and Good
spent more years studying the habits
of fish than Mr.. Bowers has lived, and
when they died they felt that their
knowledge of them was very limited.
Speaking of Mrs. Curtis. who was
elected mayor Of Cimarron, Kan, some
time ago, the Kansas City World says:
she conducts the business of Cimar-
ron with a master hand, and while her
election was looked upon as a joke, she
is now regarded as the best mayor that
Cimarron has ever had. Cimarron at
this time is weighted down with a large
municipal indebtedness contracted in a
county seat war. Mrs. Curtis has
taken the matter in hand and is
handling it to the satisfaction of the
bondholders and taxpayers"

Second Adventists Say End of World is
Due in 1899.

AT the Second Advent Church yester-
day afternoon, an open meeting was
held in order to permit a free discus
sion of the several prophesies regard
ing the second coming of Christ and
the end of the world. Using the death
Of Justinian in 565 A. D. as an arbf-
trary basis, the speakers proved to
their satisfaction that the coming year.
1899, VIII see the elimination of the
prophesies given in both the Old and
the New Testaments and the final re
ward of those of the faith who have
kept faithful through all the disap-
pointments of the past years.
The first time set by the Adventists
for this great event was between
March, 1S43, and March, 1874, and Mil
Ter, the famous apostle of the belief.
set the exact day as being the tenth
day of the seventh month. This proved
to be wrong, however. and after cal
culation, it was thought that the year
1854 would see the end Again in 1859
the movement was started and in 1867.
70 and 70. The last movement was
in 1884 but few of the disciples be-
lieved that date correct.
The fact Of these dates being wrong
is explained by the parable Of the ten
virgins who went out first to meet the
bridegroom, that was the 1874 move
ment and the minor NOV aments repre-
sented the different watches of the
night before the great day, 1899, should
come.
The speakers allowed questions to be
asked by any one. The congregation
was but small, though those present
seemed convinced of the truth Of the
proofs offered, and several expressed
their hope that there would be no mis-
take this time.

Walter j. Hoar has been one of the
most enthusiastic socialists of the party
since his connection with it in 1895, and
when the members have been dispirited
d. he has always appeared on the scene
TO revive waning courage. He belongs
to the section because he believes that
socialism solves the industrial problem
Last fall Mr. Hoar was naturalized, al
though he has lived in this country
thirteen years eight Of which We're
passed in Boston. In giving his reasons
- for not being natuTaliZed before. Mr.
Hoar said that the same conditions
working against the welfare of the
working people were in operation in
this country as in Canada, where he
was born. and he could not conscienti-
ously enter into any movement which
did not offer to ameliorate the position
of the wage worker. When such a
movement appeared in the socialist
labor party, he thought that then his
vote would be Of some value, and he
accordingly took out his first papers.
Mr.. HOar has pleasant home on Pied
mont street, is married and has several
children. Born In Halifax Nova Scotia,
in 1867, he came to Boston thirteen
years ago, moving to Worcester eight
years later.
Mr.. Hoar is a boot and shoe repairer
by trade, being well known at the shoe
store Of Bemis & Co.
