the honors Of hero. When his leave OF
absence was ended Anthony was pro-
NOTED to be sergeant Of marines, and
was detailed at the Brooklyn navy yard.
In one of Anthony's coat pockets was
found letter written by him to his
aunt, which read that he was discour-

terday. and is the carrying out only of the
original intention Of both the admiral and
Mrs. Dewey. BY all those interested in the
matter. the method Of transfer adopted
was considered the best and safest that
could have been adopted. 1t is to be con.
sidered, naturally. that the transfer was
to be the act of Mrs. Dewey. as well as Of
the admiral. It was her desire that she
should release any claim she might have to
the property through her marriage to the
admiral. and to do this the transfer was
made through her to the admirars son az
soon as was practicable. Through the
method adopted. no dispute ever can arise
over the disposition Of the property"

One OF the most important deals that

North Dakota was made public at Grand

struction OF canal from Grand Forks

project was under consideration. but It
was not thought that 1t was 30 far I'D.
vanced as is now found to be the case.
A syndicate of Eastern capitalists have
engaged Ledrue Guthrie to go to New
York and there make ARRANGEMENTS for
this deal. All preparations are made and
the route is decided upon. It will pass
from the Red River to Red Lake. and
from thence to the minor lakes Of the
region. making use Of the Mississippi on
the way.
There will be from 800 to 100 miles Of
straight cutting to be done, and 1t in
thought that no difficulty will be found.
The company has received its charter and
will be known as the Great Northern

There is no connection with the Great

taken in not less than $4,00O,O0O since he
began business. The receipts of tho
concern, especially in the last few days,
have been enormous, and how many
persons will lose their principal cannot

small means, who put all they could get
together into the concern.

Greathouse replied that he believed he
would like it. A few days later he was
given the appointment, and wired his
widowed mother, with whom he lived in
San Francisco, to pack up and be ready
to move to Japan. Two weeks later
they set sail from San Francisco.
Mr.. Greenhouse was a very efficient
and businesslike consul, and made such
fine record that he was continued in
Office under the Harrison administra-
ton until his resignation. During his
term as consul he had rendered great
service to Mixing, the king of Corea,
by giving him advice, and his royal
highness soon became of the opinion
that he couldn't conduct the affairs of
his kingdom without Greenhouse. He
created the office "Ho-Pang." corre-
spending in civilized monarchies to the
position of prime minister, and be-
sought Mr.. Greathouse to accept it.
"Gen." Greenhouse, as the king called
him, was potent factor in the develop
ment of Corea, and the king was said
to be in full sympathy with his Yankee
ally, favoring the building of railroads,
the development Of the mines, the open
ing of the ports to foreign commerce
and the teaching of the English Ian
guage to the Coreans.
Greathouse was said to have an In
terest in mining in Corea, and with the
princely salary he received from the
king (said to have been nearly 100000
year, he was enabled to live like
lord. He did not affect the peculiar orr
entail garb. the triple-decked headgear
and jade in which he had been pictured
by San Francisco newspaper some
years ago. but always wore the plain
dress Of an American citizen.
Mr.. Greathouse cared nothing for
money aside from what it would buy,
and the life of oriental ease and splen-
dor which he led in Seoul was said to be
very agreeable to him. He was sin
gular compound of clean-cut intellect,
great ability and dreaminess.

II Mr. Greenhouse had come of long
line of Corean ancestry.
The widest dreams that his boyish
fancy cherished probably never touched
anything SO far removed from the ordi-
nary as what came to pass.
Thirty years ago, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer, Clarence Greenhouse was ed

and practicing law. He was then IS
years old. He was born on farm about
two miles south of the town. He re-
ceived his legal education at the Univer-
sity of Virginia, and was young man
of fine natural ability and brilliant
promise.
Attracted by the boom on the Pacific
coast young Greathouse emigrated in
the fan of 1869 to San Francisco, and
through the aid of his kinsman, Lloyd
Tevis. the multimillionaire goldbug
(who recently died in that city,, and
by his own ability and force, he was
soon occupying an enviable position as
an attorney. Later he became part
ner in the legal firm of Stewart, Great

William II. Stewart, Of Nevada, was the
