: KING HUMRERT.

Inc entire civilized world will deep
~ sympathize with Italy in the sad
loss OF King Humbert He was a good
and wise monarch and an excellent
man. Under his reign his country has
prospered and progressed.
King Humbert l, OF Italy was the
fourth Humbert, or Umberto, in de.
scent from the Dukes of Savoy. He
was born at Turin, March IA, 1874,
the Oldest son of Victor Emmanuel,
King of Italy, and Marie Adelaide,
daughter of the Austrian archduke
Rameri, viceroy of lombard He was
married in 1868 to his cousin, Margaret
OF Savoy, by whom he had one son,
Prince Victor Emmanuel, who is mar
ried to Princess Helene of Monte
negro.
Humbert | succeeded to the throne
of Italy on the death of Victor EN-
manuel January s, 1878, and he
plunged at once into the tempestuous
affairs of the kingdom with a zest
that promised individual greatness
that has not been fulfilled.
Instead of adhering to the fiery and
resistless patriotism of his father
the first Humbert chung rather to the
declaration which he made public
on the day of his accession to the
throne-yiz.; My sole ambition will
be to deserve my peoples love!"
Deserving or otherwise, he has sue
ceeded in his sole" ambition, and
in spite of many well-known personal
failings, lax morals and willingness
to permit his ministers to rule Italy
for him, Humbert had never lost one
iota of the affection which his PEG
pie always bestowed upon him.
1t has been said that his character
became Modified, less martial and
even effeminate after the death OF
his heroic sire. 1t is certainly true
that during the lifetime of Victor
Emmanuel the boy Humbert, ! Au-
enced by his fathers heroic rit
and dominated by the patriotism
which then infamed his countiynlen,
proved himself soldier rather than
a courtier, a man of affairs rather
than dawdler.

lawful or unsportsmanlike means are

Until lately it was the intention of
State Warden Sharp TO throw open
Parley's canyon creek, the first stream
in the state closed, TO fishing, but he
has concluded that it would be pru-
dent TO wait until the end Of the four
years closed period. as was originally
intended This will bring the reopening
in June, 1901. Right now Parley's creek
is literally alive with Whopping big
brook trout of various kinds, but the
state warden fears that to raise the en-
barge without promulgating a few
needful restrictions would result in a
rapid fishing out of the entire stream,
so near is it to the thousands of ang-
Iers resident in Salt Lake City.
