tween pound and a guinea; only q
shilling, and yet the keen business man
insists that the shilling shall be consid-

delivered in London, Willert Beale
says that he called upon the novelist
in Onslow square with check for

When the first vessel completed the
passage of the then new Erie canal in
1928, there being no such thing as a
telegraph in those days, the news was
communicated to New York and to
Buffalo by cannons placed within hear

from Albany to each of the other cities.
The signal was passed along in this
way from Albany to New York city
and back again to Albany in SO min

President Shows death dissolves
the first presidency, of which he was
the head, his two counselors being
Joseph Smith and Rudger Clawson.
Until his successor shall be chosen,
which may not be until the yearly con-
ference next April, the leadership of
the church will devolve upon the
Council of Twelve Apostles, of which
body Mr.. Smith is the recognized
head. Unless death should come to
him in the meantime, Mr.. Smith will
be the next President of the church.
President Snow became the head of
the church in 1896, succeeding VIII
ford Woodruff.
Snow was born in 1914 in Ohio.
His father and mother were descend
ants of genuine Puritans. His sister
was Eliza Snow, the most distin-
gulshed woman in Mormon history
She was one of the wives of Joseph
Smith. He was baptized into the Nor
mon Church in Kirkland, Ohio, In 1886.
Snow had been II of the best stu
dents in Oberlin College, which was
at that time an exclusively Presbyte-
rian institution. He went to Europe
as a Mormon missionary with VIII
ford Woodruff. Their procedure was
much like that of the Salvation Army
to-day. They beat the drum, shouted
hymns, and were particularly success
full in rural districts.
In 1S4S at the head of a train of 100
wagons, he made the overland trip
from Illinois to the present site of
Salt Lake City, and in all the work of
founding and building up this city
he was a leader. For thirty years,
beginning with 1852, he was a mem
Der of the Territorial Legislature,
chiefly as presiding officer of the up
per house. In 1855, with fifty fami-
lies, he founded and named Brigham
City, in Northern Utah, which was
his home for many years.
Snow subscribed to the doctrine of
polygamy and became n of its most
rabid evangelists. He was arrested
in 1886 under the Edmunds law for
polygamy and was convicted. He
was offered a pardon if he would
abandon polygamy, but he refused to
accept it. He was sentenced to eigh-
teen months imprisonment, but was
released before Il year expired on a
legal technicality. Since then he has
not openly lived with his wives, but
he has visited them clandestinely.
Snow had five wives in all, so far as
known, aud more than fifty children.
1t is said he had married several
women since the Mormons swore to
abandon polygamy.

HEAD OF DEAD
President Lorenzo Snow Suddenly
Succumbs to a Cold.
He Was EIghty-seven Years Old 80 A Ma
tive of Ohio and Had an Active
Career-HIs Probable Successor.

Salt Lake, Utah.-Lorenzo Snow,
fifth President of the Church of Jesus
Christ of the Latter Day Saints, bet
ter known as the Mormon Church,
died unexpectedly in his home the
historic Bee Hive House. The imme-
date cause of his death was nypo-
stetic congestion, superinduced by ag-
erayated bronchitis. Several weeks
ago President Snow contracted a cold.
1t was not considered serious, but on
the day preceding his death he was
seized with an attack of nausea,
which continued at intervals through
out the day. His physicians were
called and remained IN constant at
tendance until death came.

Inmates to Re Submitted to Congress.
Washington, d. C.-The naval esti-
mates for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1903. have been made public. They
are larger by about sol 100000 than
the appropriation for the current year.
Secretary Long said in speaking of his
plans for naval extension, that he
would propose an increase over last
year of one battleship, making the ex-
tension plan provide for three battle
ships and two armored cruisers. The
authorization given last year was for
two battleships and two cruisers. Mr.
Long believes that Congress, in calling
upon him for his views about the new
ships, did not limit him to the sub
mission of but one plan for each type
of vessel. He will therefore present a
number of plans. varying in their ar
rangement of turrets and batteries.
He will also recommend the construc-
ton of a number of small %gunboats.
The estimates for 1903 amount TO
sos, 910.9S4.63, while the appropria-
tons for 1902 amounted to S1I,924,-
