DEATH OF MISS WHEELER.
For Five Years a Teacher In the
Public Schools

Miss Lydia r. Wheeler, a teacher in
the Whittier school, died of heart fail
ure at the Normandy yesterday morn
ing. after a very brief illness. She had
not been feeling very well for two
weeks, but kept at her post in school
until Saturday. From Tuesday until
Thursday she took absolutely no nour-
ishment, and suffered intensely from
biliousness and extreme nausea, caus-
ing vomiting. Death resulted from con-
sequent exhaustion,
Funeral services will be held this
afternoon at the Unitarian church Gle
brew synagogue, Fourth East street,,
and the remains will be shipped to Mar
shall, Mimi, for interment. The guests
of the Normandy will furnish cut flow
ers laid in moss in which the remains
will be packed, and other friends wish
ing to contribute floral offerings will
please send only cut flowers and moss
to the Normandy.
Miss Wheeler was a native Of Mar
shall, Mimi, where her parents and two
sisters still reside. She was 81 years of
age, and a graduate of Winona normal
school. She came to Salt Lake five
years ago, and during that period was
employed in the public schools of the
city. She was highly esteemed by her
associates and pupils, and also by a
wide circle of other friends who mourn
her demise.

AT THE UNIVERSITY.
Lecture By Prof. j. B. Toronto On
"The Moon"

At the university last night, Profess
sor J. B. Toronto, professor of mathe-
MATES and astronomy, delivered the
regular faculty lecture. The subject
of the talk was 1.-The Moon" and this
was dealt with in a way that both en-
tertained and instructed the attentive
audience.
Among other things, Professor To-
ronto discussed the motions of the
moon, its phases and its relative posi-
tons in winter and summer. Eclipses
of both the sun and moon were ex-
planned and their causes Illustrated.
A series of pictures illustrating the
surface appearance of the moon, were
thrown upon the screen and commented
upon. These views were made from
photographs of the moon taken at the
famous Lick and Kenwood observa-
tories. Pictures of the Yerkes tele-
scope, the largest in the world, and
the Williams Bay observatory at Chi
cago, where this large instrument is
located, were also presented and eX-
planned.
AS the various views were thrown
upon the screen, the professor COM
mented upon them, dwelling especially
upon those that illustrated the surface
appearance of the moon. He discussed
also the various theories that have
been advanced to account for the pres
ent condition of this heavenly body,
and its interesting and varied surface.
The next faculty lecture, the last of
the series, will be delivered next Mon
day night by DR.. James Z. Talmage,
the professor of geology

Three of the most elegant diners ever
seen in the west; five standard, up-to-

train positively the finest ever put into
service between Chicago and Portland
Some of the new equipment will be de-
livered, it is believed, during April but
the great train complete will not make
its first run until the month following.
The fact that Mr.. Dunn has gone to
New York with President Cornish may
be safely regarded as having a whole
lot to do with the matter of equipment
in the way of motive power and ma
chinery. This much was admitted by
the officials but Mr.. Dunn refused to
be interviewed ON the subject at this
time. He expects to return in the
course of a month and will then proba-
bly, state what is in the wind. 1t is
believed the business at hand is the
purchase of the compound engines, so
much talked of. for service on certain
parts of the Idaho division. The matter
will likely be laid before the directory
of the road.
The grade on Opex hin is to be mod

ON ITS EAR AGAIN.
Tribune Dodges the Real Question
Irving to Talk Facts.

The Tribune persists in maintaining
| that it presented facts in every detail OF
it's article on the subject of car lines,
Notwithstanding that The Herald point
ed out the misstatements of each al
legged fact. Indeed, it was these glaring
misstatements that prompted the reply,
as it reflected an utter unfamiliarity
with the subject now under discussion.
First, the prodigious performance of a
fruit car in the line from the Pacific to
Atlantic seacoaSt was pointed out as
absurd, under the conditions under
which they are operated; then the
statement that furniture cars receive a
rate of three-quarterS to one cent per
mile was shown to be a fallacy, and,
further, that the lines enumerated did
not receive a rate over and above the
regular boxcar mileage.
This subject is one very little under
stood by the average railroad man, and
one can readily see how men we'll in
formed on general railroad subjects can
give very unreliable informa ton on this
particular detail. The subject under
discussion was the matter of private car
ownership, in its broad sense, and its
relation to and effect upon the railroads
of the country, and not the subject pre-
scented by the Tribune yesterday-that
of private car trusts operated and ma
nipulated by officers of a road for their
individual profit, and hauling commodi-
ties originating on their road-as al
legged in the case of c. B. Ravens & Co..
and the supposed case of Jones and the
Utah Midland-though even in this case
the cars carrying the commodities EMU
merated would not be entitled to or re-
ceive more than the regular freight car
rate, which is not three-fourths of a
cent per mile. 1t is not denied that such
combinations could be formed, or that
they are formed; indeed, one can go
further and show individual instances
of actual fraud in the management of
private car lines that have been detect
ed; but individual instances of car ma
nipulation are not being discussed. The
rate of mileage paid for cars is gov
euned by the Trunk, Central and West

ern Traffic associations. adopted in gen
eral sessions, and ratified by the pre-
siding and managing officers of the
roads comprising the association 1t is
fair to presume that these men know
what they are doing when they make
the mileage rate of a car costing 5000
to $3.50 ON a higher scale than the rate
applied to a car costing from $3.50 to
$500. 1t is hardly probable that the pre-
siding and managing officers are gerer-
ally taking into their confidence the
sgbordinates under them for the pur-
pose of forming secret car trusts, such
as suggested by the Tribune but, as be-
fore stated, this is not the subject pre-
scented by that paper last week, and is
foreign to the general subject of private
car lines. Just as long as the railroads
of the country find it more profitable
to themselves to pay rental ON special
equipment, and that the business is
better handled in that way, just SO long
will the private car continue to play an
important part in the traffic of the
country. The gentle solicitude for the
railroad stockholder, as expressed in
the Tribune, and the gratuitopls inform
alton extended to this paper on the
above subject is energy misdirected,
though probably we'll intended. The
Herald is not defending the private car
owner-sdmply stating facts as they ex-
ist, and presenting the subject from the
standpoint of the railroads.

NOT AT ALL SURPRISING.
Appointment of Mr. Mccormick All
That Could Be Expected.

TO anyone familiar with the circum-
stances, it is not at all surprising that
Mr.. T. H. Goodman was not made pas
senger traffic manager of the Southern
Pacific, or that Mr. E. o. Mccormick
was appointed to the position, as an
nounced in the dispatches of Saturday.
Mr.. Goodman has for thirty years past
been general passenger agent of the
road, and has proved an invaluable
man in the position, but without that
he is advanced in years, and it is owing
to his failing health that he has not
been in the actual service of the COM
pany for the past few years. But Mr..
Goodman's worth has never been for
gotten. In this time. he has retained
his title and drawn full salary, as in
days gone by, notwithstanding the real
condition of affairs. Nor is this the first
instance where the Southern Pacific has
provided for its worthy officials. Rich
ard Gray, formerly freight traffic man
ager of the road, suffered stroke of
paralysis and was rendered physically
helpless, but to the very day of his
death, retained the title and drew his
salary. The company deserves credit
for acts of this kind, and Mr.. Good
mans condition was no doubt, consid-
cred before the appointment of Mr.. Nc
Cormick was made.
