FORMER SALT LAKER BACK
FROM PHILIPPINES.
Has Achieved Fame As a Newspaper
Correspondent-Warm Praise For
the Utah Volunteers.

Douglas White, who has a host of
friends in Salt Lake, is registered at the
Knutsford. Ten years ago Mr.. White
was a resident of this city. He origin
ated the Salt Lake exposition car idea
and carried it to a successful consum-
nation, and later on was manager of
the Walker opera house. Since then he
has achieved fame as a. newspaper cor
respondent, having campaigned it in
the Philippines for the New York Jour
nal and San Francisco Examiner. He
was with the Utah batteries during the
attack upon and capture of Manila and
speaks in high praise of their service.
"The Utah volunteers" said he, have
never received proper recognition in the
press dispatches. 1t was undoubtedly
their work that broke the Spanish lines
on the memorable July 31St and | per-
sonally witnessed numerous individual
deeds of magnificent bravery that have
never been mentioned in the dis
patches"
Mr.. White is still on the Journal-Ex-
aminer staff and expects to start in Au-

Contractor Curley's Gift to Kearn
ST. Ann Orphanage.
BISHOP WAS SURPRISED
PRIZE PACKAGE AMONG THE
SEALED BIDS.
Among the Proposals For the Foun-
dation Work Was An Offer to Do
$4,000 Worth For Nothing
Giver Is Not a Wealthy Man
Bishop Scanlan Elated.

Bishop Seaman opened a $4,000 prize
package yesterday. Yesterday was the
day set for opening the bids for the
construction of the foundation OF
Kearns st. AIMS Orphanage. The
contractor under the specifications was
to furnish the stone and all other ma
terial and construct the walls up TO
the water table. Each bidder was re-
quired to deposit a certified check for
$500 as guarantee.
At the appointed hour Bishop Scan
Ian opened the bids. They were four
in all. The first was from Frank Kun
ker, made out in due form, Offering TO
perform the work for $9S49. The Sec
ond bid opened was from Marrow d
Fielding and the figures were $3.50
The third bid opened was that of Will
liam ]. Tuddenham, and his figures
were $10,694.
The last bid opened was that of
George Curley. The envelope contain
ed the required check for $500, but in
stead of the ordinary bid there was a
note from Mr.. Curley offering TO per-
form the work as builder and superin-
tendent without any compensation
whatever. To realize the full mean
ng of this offer it is only necessary TO
glance U=er the figures of the other
bids and consider that the giver is not
a wealthy man Mr. Curley IS well
known in Salt Lake. He has had con-
tracts in the construction of the Sails
bury, Ivers and Keith residences and
is now engaged on the Kearns resi-
dence in the southeastern part of the
city. He is a thoroughly responsible
man and this gift is a very large one
for a man in his circumstances. He
deserves very great credit for it 1t
could be hardly given in a better cause.
Bishop Seaman said last evening that
this gife of Mr.. Curley's would be adj
ded to that already given for his or
phanage and make the institution just
that much bigger and better. He could
not conceal his elation over his good
fortune and spoke in highest praise of
Mr.. Curley's generosity. The bishop
can see in this, as in other recent
events in his church, only the work Of
divine providence.
