Dunc as IAN extraordinary man" who
was honest in his dealings and who will
be deeply mourncd by the members Of
the sect Of which he was 4 prominent
member. quite likely President Wood
rut was an important figure in the Salt
Lake world-the public thinks Of him
merely as a conspicuous figure who

q YOUNG blood is not so very scarce
" on Europe's thrones. Russia's
car. Nicholas IL, became the
ruler OF all the Russias when he was
twenty-six years old. To-day, at the
age Of thirty. he has upset the plans
Of all the courts with his peace propo-

erelgn of them all. Kaiser william, at
Berlin, has been making trouble these
many years. bu he Is not yet forty-he
was emperor before he was thirty. King
Charles of Portugal was crowned at the
age of twenty-slx; he is now thirty-ive
years old. Bavaria is under a regency,
as Spain is and as the Netherlands nave
been. Queen Wilhelmlna Is eighteen. 1t
transpires that at her request much Of
the lustre usually shed on coronations
was lacking; 1t is said that this young
queen displays traits OF character that
are an assurance of an enlightened, sem

are living. Going deeper into the hg-
ures relating to the family. the Tribune
a that his first wlfe's three children
survive; two OF his second wife's three
children are dead. six Of his third
wife's children are alive: his fourth
wife has four living children; and his
fifth wife has five who are living. Wife
number three was with the old man in
san Francisco al the time of his
death. last Thursday. The grand total
for Woodruff II thirty-two children. Of
whom twenty survive him. There are
one hundred and three grandchildren
and thirteen great-grandchildren.
In view OF the fact that the law
against the Mormon method went into
effect several years ago. Il must be ad-
mitted that Woodruff fairly won the
distinction he has held for several
years as the head OF the Mormon
church" The testimony of the Salt
Lake Tribune. soberly recited in n
laudatorv sketch OF his career. is that
President Woodruff knew every one
Of his grandchildren and c~reat-grand-
children by name, and was hap
pier than when surrounded by a group
Of them. They were all extremely fond
~ him, and the loss Of the kindly old
man will nowhere be felt more keenly
tina in this juvenile circle"
We suppose hat to Salt Lake cars
it sounds all right 10 hear. in the course
Of obituary notice. that the dead man
knew his grandchildren and great
grandchildren by name. but that Is
amusing reading and a surprising style
Of praise for those outside Mormon-
dom. Stlu. when you remember that
woodruff had FIVE wives and n hun
dred and forty-elght direct descendants
it may be. after all, to his credit that
he knew his own by name.

Then and Now.

~RoM Madrid this mornings news
r is that the opening Of the cortes
was an incident Of small interest,
that those who expected sensational
scenes were disappointed, that the pub
lie was Indifferent and the occasion
rather duh.
1t was different a Few months ago.
When the Sagasta government had
pressed the limit and war seemed in
evitable, the cortes met In Madrid I'M
der conditions that were made as SPLEEN
did as possible. Press dispatches de-
scribed the brilliant incidents Of the &C.
casion. the personages who were in at
tendance. the gorgeous attire Of those
in the regency circle, the enthusiasm Of
the members and the dramatic demon
STATIONS over every bombastic utter
ance about the inoomprehensible article
we have since heard so much Of and
which has become popularity known as
Spanish honor.
That meeting Of the cortes was held
before the world knew as much as IL
knows to-day about Dewey and Samp-
son and Cervera n Camara n Ma
Mia and Santiago. IT must be that the
Sagasta government included men who
realized how hopeless Spain's case was,
but practically all Of them were for "A
fight with the United states-their no
ton OF honor was that Spain must de-
liberately take a whipping.
Yesterday the contrast etwee these
two sessions OF the cortes must have
forced its gloomy realities upon the
Thought OF many OF the members. one
can believe that the meeting called for
the purpose Of viewing the remains Of a
disastrous war must have been pain
fully solemn-the press dispatches d.
not speak of pomp or Of gala display.
h recital is that Senior Ssgasta, ar
rayed in the insignia Of his Office,
mounted the tribune and read a decree
authorizing Spain to give up her colo
mics, In order TO meet the stlpulations
that were a part OF our terms Of peace.
1t is a heavy penalty; Spain parts
with these possessions gr~udgingly. And
this meeting Of the eortes is hIstoric-it
Is SPANS valedictory to new-world pos
sessions which, under an enlightened
policy on her part, would still be hers.

"The New Dominion"

Clay Clement and his capable com
paay charmed a fine audience at the
Margaret theater last night. THE New
Dominion is a sweet, clean, wholesome
comedy. which depends for It's success
neither upon vulgarities nor idiocies Its
entire freedom from leg advertisements.
which seem TO be the principal feature
OF latter-day farce comedies, was no.
ticeable and refreshing. All the world
loves a novelty, and when a comedy
like The New Dominion displays
brains rather han legs II Is a surprise
and a fascination. 1t is a good play,
well played. The actors know their
business and do IL. Besides being art
lists. they appeared to be ladies and gen
tlemen. Mr.. Clement is a comedian OF
ability, Mrs. Clement is an actress OF
sterling qualities, and Miss Nellie Nc
Even is a bird that takes the bouquet.
Mr.. Clement will, by request, play a
return engagement at the Margare'
on next Friday night. The New Do
mlnIon' will doubtless draw as big a
house then as II did last evening.

parently, the public is satisfied that the
version Of happenings at Santiago given
out by General Miles is the truth.
1t is becoming clearer every day that
the criticism that has been passed upon

months is well warranted. He has
proved himself TO be worse than a fail

the presence In this city Of multitudes Of
visitors from Butte, representative Of
some OF the strongest Of the labor
unions In that city.
a day that In its early hours threaten
ed to be unfriendly turned out to be IA
vorable. the parade was the largest ever
seen I'm Anaconda. The neat uniforms
donned for the occasion and the stall
wart appearance OF the thousands Of
men in line evoked compliments that
were everywhere heard. At the park the
eloquent address Of Hon. w. w. Erwin
deeply interested a throng of listeners;
the programme OF athletics was success
fully carried out. Many Of the visitors
gave a part OF the afternoon to the
events at the driving park where run
ming races Of rare merit made up the
programme.
The celebration in Anaconda was n
gratifying success. AS the Standards
news pages testify. the observance of
the day In other cities Of the state was
one that gives pleasant distinction to
labor day in Montana and n that
reflects credit on the men who walk the

Ready to Abandon Protection.

From the New York Times.
II Is natural that the republicans should
become eager expansionlsts. Always n
shifty party, they have commonly been
much more alert than their opponents to
seize upon new issues and throw away old
ones, They are about to be compelled to
throw away their great policy OF high
protection. to which they have adhered
with fanaticism and great ~pecuniary and
political proht for more than 80 years.
Colonial expansion furnishes the pTetext
for abandoning protection. No party
could pursue at the same time policies so
entirely inConsruous.

Years ago the celebration of Easter
was invariably accompanied by many
very quaint and interesting observ-
ances; but few of these customs have
been brought down unlmpaired to the
close Of the essentially practical nine
teenth century, and are, therefore, lit
tie known to the present generation
The sending of Easter eggs still re-
mains in vogue, but this custom, too,
is slowly but surely dying, being prob
ably killed by the more popular and
less expensive Easter card.
The exchange of eggs at Easter was
formerly religious observance, the
custom dating bacl. to the very earli-
est days of the Christian Church. In
many European countries, notably
France and Russia, it is still religious
ly observed. Among the Russian peas
antTy the exchange of visits and eggs
on Easter Day is very common, being
accompanied by the sllutat!on Christ
is riser!" the usual response being
"He is, irdeed!" In France, begging
for eggs On the part of the village chill
dIen is very popular, While in Italy
hundreds and thousands OF eggs are
blessed by the clergy, previously to be-
ing distributed among the people as
charms against many spiritual and
bodily ills.
