SILK CULTURE IN UTAH.
Observation-Disclosures

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Among the many local industries that
are claiming marked attention from the
outside world is serioulture. This indus
try was started may years ago and has
been gradually gaining In extent and
development until 1t now promises to be
one OF the important industries Of the
State. One Of the first bills passed by
the Legislature after Statehood was
that providing for the encouragement Of
silk culture and commission was APP
pointed by Governor Wells 70 take
charge OF the interests Of the Industry.
The commission consisted of five men,
bers-Mrs. Zna ID. X. Young, who had
taken active part In developing the in
dustry since the earliest days OF its
inception being appointed chairman.
and Mrs c. W. Bennett and Mrs. Mar
geret A. Game Of Salt Lake, Mrs. Ann
Woodbury. OF st. George and Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Powell Of Springville, making up
the board.
One OF the provisions OF the Legisla-
tive act was the awarding Of a bounty
OF twenty-five cents on each pound OF
cocoons raised In the State. and under
this impetus the industry has grown to
large proportions throughout Utah. II
has been demonstrated that the climate
of Utah Is highly favorable 20 the
health and development OF the silk
worm, and there is every reason 10 be-
lieve that sericulture will become an
important source OF wealth to the
State. Steps were recently taken by
the enterprslng ladies Of ST. George to
raise funds for the building and equip
ment OF silk factory In that thriving
town. There Is every promise and hope
that their efforts will be crowned with
success.
The products OF local industry have
attracted much attention-utah's dis
play at the Worlds Fair In 1893, In par
ticular. creating remarkable interest
Since then the efforts In this line have
been steadily multiplied and the prod
uct Of the industry proportlonately IN
creasing In perfection. With the favor
able conditions. and beginning already
made, Il Is reasonable 10 believe that
Utah in time will take first rank among
the States for her sericutural products.

ALL HONOR TO HIS NAME.

The event OF the week was the mem
orial services In honor Of the late Prof.
George r. Mathews, held by the menu
bers OF the faculty and the students In
the art room Thursday. All the classes
We're dismissed at o'clock and the
students thronged into the large room
on the third floor, which was entirely
filed by them together with a number
Of visitors who were friends OF him In
the honor whose memory the services
were being held
President Joseph T. Kfngsbury con-
Quoted the services which began with
a song by the students led by Professor
McGhie. A short but eloquent inyoca-
ton was offered by Rev, Clarence I.
Brown, after which Miss Crlsse Lawson
and Miss Lottle Burch sang the well
known song. Lead Kindly Light"
their sweet notes producing strong
emotions In the audience.
Prof George NJ. Marshall was then
introduced. who In behalf OF the faculty
delivered an address which partook Of
the nature OF a characterization. The
closest attention followed Prof. Mar
shall all through his eloquent eulogy,
which was not the mere calling OF
words, but the articulate beating Of the
heart of a friend. He said: "A light
has been extinguished, and our hearts
are heavy Death. said he, is not an
unpenetrable wall that divided the
worlds but soft curtain that Is for
ever moving and trembling. A friend
passes through, aud as IL opens to ad-
nit him, We think that We can almost
see the great unknown, and here the
tread Of the feet of him who iugt left

speaker was one OF the noblest Of man
kind and his record IL written upon the
hearts of all who knew him. and upon

Wider, until IL reaches the shores OF
eternity. our friend has made his
wave OF influence. No one ever came
into his presence without feeling the
influence Of his splendid personality.
He Wis man, and being man
must have had imperfectlons, but
could not count them. His intellect was
majestIo-splendid. He acquired mass
Of learning that appalled, lesser learned
men. He climbed heights OF knowledge
which most Of us stand aghast at. And
coupled with this knowledge was a rip
ened Judgment he did not zee things
through eyes OF prejudice. First and
foremost, after his intellectual powers,
came his modesty. He was humble be-
cause Of his great pows-- IL i-----'

so much and could see so much that he
realized what a small thing man -
compared TO the great Intelligence. He
didnt hate ignorance. there was only
one thing he despised, and that was
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ignorance.
he had that charity which thinks no
evil. He relieved distress, because it
was distress. Before he came 10 Utah
he buried his heart In the slums Of
Brooklyn, 10 upllft humankind, and
quit only because TO continue was sui
eide. No man was ever more faithful,
and he was kindly. Prof Marshall said
he never heard his deceased friend
speak an unkindly word. He sometimes
spoke sharp words, because there was
no more eXactlng critic than ne, but
they were like the knife Of the surgeon,
they cut TO heal
Miss Estelle Watson, then In behalf OF
the students, delivered an address. She
said no one could realize the place Prof.
Mathews occupied in the hearts OF his
students lie was man without sham
and without hypocrisy, and the stu
dents could see the depth Of his great
character. His learning was so broad
that he enriched every subject with
anecdote, and made everything he said
OF absorbing interest. At the close Of
Miss Watsons excellent effort. Miss
Agatha Berkhoel sang a solo entitled,
And God Shall Wipe Away All Tears"
which was rendered In a rich melodi-
Gus voice. Following the solo was a
short address by Rev. c. T. Brown. He
knew Prof. Mathews first in the dlyln-
ity school at Yale when he was a stu.
dent. and he had always been a stu
dent. and II he had lived a thousand
years in this world he would have re-
manned a student
Mrs. Rebeoca Little in behalf Of the
board OF regents delivered an eloquent
ADDRESS, eulosistic Of the late profess
sor. She indicated how high Prof.
Mathews stood in the confidence OF the
gents, both as man and an instruc-
tor Prof Mathews was a man whom
TO know was at once a pleasure and
benefit He loved the beautiful,
but beautiful thought and
beautiful actions most. Our lives have
been made better and purer through our
associations with Prof. Mathews.
President j. IT, kingsbury delivered q
most thoughtful address. Life, he said,
appears to be simple, but II Is beyond
the power OF man TO fathom H. Presl.
dent kingsbury's paper was a phllo-
sophie view Of life and was written In
a scholarly style. He closed with a
short review Of Prof. Mathews work,
and high encomium on his character.
The services closed with the students
singing. Nearer My God 20 Thee"

PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
The especial pride Of Salt Lake ls It's
free school system. which is second to
none in the United States. Its advance
ment and continued development has
been due to the faithful aud Intelligent
efforts Of the board Of education dur
ing the years since 1t was established,
and 20 the fact that the most advanced
Ideas gradually evolved from long ex-
perlence in the East were adopted for
the new system here. In few cities
there are school buildings fully equal TO
those OF Salt Lake, but In no city In
the United States, say the experts, are
all OF the buildings up to the grade OF
those here.
The board now owns twenty-four OF
these splendid buildings and contem-
plates erecting one each year In
order 70 provide for the In
creased attendance. The next
building II Is expected, will be erected
In the Eighteenth ward. In addition
10 these buildings, the high school and
training school are In rented buildings.
There are now enrolled 1900 students
in all these schools and the amount paid
the 2s5 teachers employed Is SlS,oOO per
month.
The total number Of children Of school
age is officially given as lS,i6S.
l.. d. S. COLLEGE.
In addition TO these public institu-
tlons. there are several private schools
and sectarian institutions. Prominent
among these latter " the Latter-day
Saints College, now occupying the. up
per floors OF the Templeton building.
II offers one-ycar preparatory course,
a three-years high school course,
three-year business course. a four-year
course and one-year missionary
course. The faculty for the present
year il as follows: J. II. Paul presi-

VICTORIA, B. c., March '3.-Miners
who have just arrived on the steamer
Tees from the Northwest say the Cam
adian officials on the Dalton trail have
seen fit to change the boundary lines to
suit themselves. They have advanced
a considerable distance into American
territory. and. according to the story
which has reached here. have planted
the British fay within seven miles of
Haines Mission, the entrepot for the
Porcuplne district. The point tt which
the Canadians have advanced will throw
a big area Of the recently discovered
mines of the Poscupine district into
British territory. if the new boundary
is allowed to stand.
News is also brought by the Tees that
a number Of miners were frozen t.

and no less than eight unfortunates are
said to have succumbed to the cold.
