Well-k Man Dies mt Deacones
Hospital.

Louis C. Weber, a w~ell-known and pop
ular man, died at the Deaconess Hospital
last night about S o'clock of a complication
of disorders. The main cause of his death
was heart failure. Last January Mr.. Web
Der contracted a severe case of pneumonia
and was laid up in his room in the Grand
Hotel for several weeks, finally growing
so i'll that he had to be removed to the
hospital. He was taken to the hospital
Feb. 2. After being there some time ne
had a stroke Of paralysis, from which he
never fully recovered. Heart failure, COM
plicated with the other maladies affecting
him, proved more than his weakened con-
stitutiOn could withstand.
Mr.. Weber was one of the most familiar
figures about the Grand Hotel for many
years He Travelled for the large paint
manufacturing company of Sherrin, VIII
liamS x Co, of Chicago, and made Indian
apolis his headquarters. He was forty
three years OF age and unmarried. He was
born in New Albany, Ind. but his remains
will be taken to Atwater, o., for interment
beside those of his father and mother
Mr.. Webber's sister, Mrs. Henry Smith, OF
Ravenna. o.. was by his bedside when nc
passed away. His brother, John Weber
or CINCINNATI. has been notified and will Dc
here this morning.
About seven years ago Mr.. Weber cam,
lEto considerable prominence by bringing
lsayc, the noted violin Virtuoso of Bel
GUM, to this country for a tour of leading
cities. In that transaction he was acting
for his uncle. Joseph Arthur. the dramatist
with whom he was held in the light or q
great %favorite. When Mr.. Arthur was here
the forepart of January, on the occasion
OF the first presentation at English's Opera
House of his new play, Lost River he
and his nephew spent much time In each
others society.
George A. Dickson and Henry NJ. Talbot,
who were close friends of Mr.. Weber.
were greatly shocked 10 receive the news
of his death last night. Lou Weber was
as straight a man as ] ever knew ejacu-
lated Mr.. Dickson. He was a primo
among men," said Mr.. Talbot. Thomas
Afford and Mr.. Stone, "A well-known insur-
ance man. also knew Mr.. Weber intimate
ly, and spoke i'm terms OF highest praise of
his sterling qualities. He never had an
enemy that | ever heard Of" said Mr.. AL
ford.
The funeral arrangements Will not be dis
cussed and completed until after the ar
rival of Mr.. John Weber.

AN APPEAL TO WOMEN
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT OF THE An
TI-SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION.
Women Can Do More for by
Moral influence Than by
Dabbling in Politics.

CHICAGO, May 3.-The Illinois Associa-
ton, opposed to the extension of suffrage to
woman, to-day issued its semi-annual re-
port of the progress of the work. After
giving the results of the legislative action
i'll the middle West in regard to woman
suffrage during the past winter, the report
says:
Everywhere there seems to be a grow
ing conviction that the best work of women
lies along the lines of moral influence and
unselflsh ~endeavor, in a realm where the
golden rule Is not read backward, and the
lowering OF this high ideal to the plane of
Experiencing, trucking and bargaining
which the admissions. of all classes of men
To the ballot often makes necessary i'm poll
ties would be "a distinct calamity TO women
themselves ana to society at large. At the
same time. these capacities, directed
through the home or through the organizes
effort TO the formation and guidance OF
that public opinion which lies behind all
law, and without the support of which
statutory enactments are worthless. may
render invaluable and indispensable public
service.
IF women would use as much intelli-
gence and energy as participation i'm leg
islatiOn would require in. teaching their
children. boys and girls alike, in a broad,
liberal way, the great principles of TEN
perance and chastity. they would do more
IN a generation toward Graduating the
evils OF ntemperanCe and lfnpurity than
they would do by a century OF voting. If,
in the same way. they would inculcate and
everywhere stand for the principles OF
justice and unselfshness and a true regard
for tie rights of others in social. commer-
cial ana political relations. they could do
nrore toward reforming those conditions OF
society which breed anarchy and are the
despair OF the practical politician, than
they could ever do through legislative ac-
ton. There is much evidence that ii is to
these aims that thoughtful and philan-
snropic women are directing their atten-
ton. rather than TO suffrage.

o%gnition OF the fact that, instead of being
a social advance. woman suffrage Is par.

WORK FOR EXPLORERS.
Onc-Third of the Vast Dominion of
Canada Is an Unknown Land.

WASHINGTON. May 3.-The director OF
the Geological Survey of Canada. in his
last report. makes the amazing statement
that practically nothing is known of one
third of the Dominion. So states United
States Consul Seyfert, at Stratford. in a re-
port 10 the State Department. 1t is shown
that more than a million and a quarter
square miles of Canadian territory is yet
unexplored. This includes the inhospitable
detached arctic portions. but aside from
these. fully $4,000 square miles are. for all
practical purposes. entirely unknown. The
casterly area contains the greatest extent
of UNEMPLOYED territory. IL comprises al
most the entire interior of the Labrador
peninsula. The indications are. says Con-
sui Seyfert. that during the next five years
at least five thousand miles OF new rail-
road will be completed throughout the Do
minion. most OF which will run through
the u~nexplored wilderness. as il Is recog-
nized that railroads are primarily essential
TO the opening up OF this vast territory.
The mineral wealth OF this region is said

forests of hardwood. when brought to the

come "A source of large profit.
