LORENZO SNOW DEAD.



Lorenzo Snow, president Of the Mormon
Church. died at Salt Lake City yesterday
afternoon after a short illness. He con-
tracted cold several days ago. and this
developed into acute bronchitis, which
proved fatal. Mr.. Snow was eighty six
years old and had been president of the
church since September IA, 1898.
Lorenzo Snow was the fifth president of
the Mormon Church. He was the last of
the apostles who served under the prophet
Of Mormonism and the last leader OF the
first generation of MOrmOns.
He gave more than sixty years of his
life to the work of the church, and In that
time travelled more than 10000 miles on
missionary tours in which he carried the
gospel of his sect throughout the United
States and Europe and to the islands OF
the Pacific. 5ai@
Mr.. Snow was a native Of Ohio sand was
a student in Oberlin College more than
sixty years ago. when Joseph Smith had
gathered his first colony of converts at
Kirkland, Ohio, of which Mr.. Snow became
one. He rendered valuable services to
Joseph Smith in the wanderings of the
Brigham Young on the journey to Utah
and the rehabilitation Of the people.
He was early made member OF the
quorum Of. twelve. apostles. and as such
served until the death Of Wilford Wood
run, when, under the order Of succession
in the church, he was made president,
prophet seer and revelator Of the Church
Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints in
September, 1898.
To the influence of Mr.. Snow was attrib-
uted the serious attempt made to revive
the open practice Of polygamy among the
Mormons. He had been imprisoned for
polygamy in 1895. but was among the
signers of the pledge that the church should
abandon this doctrine. Soon after he came
into power, however, the Mormon priest
hood began the widespread defense of the
revelation Of celestial marriage. and the
election Of B. II. Roberts to Congress fol-
lowed quickly.
It was believed throughout Utah that
Mr.. Snow was responsible for the rehabili-
tation of Mr.. Roberts, who had been cast
aside by his party for agreeing to consult
Mormon authorities before taking any nom-
ination in politics,
Mr.. Snow had at least eight wives, and
the number OF his children was believed
to be seventy. a far greater number than
that Of the Young or Cannon families. It
developed as result Of the campaign
against Mr.. Roberts that Mr.. Snow was
not obey'ing the law OF the state In regard
to marriage, as he was living with his
youngest plural wife and child had been
born to them since the proclamation Of the
church suspendinG the doctrine Of po-
ygamy.

CATERING TO THE CHINESE.
How Americans May Find q Larger
Market in the Orient

The State Department has received from
United States Consul Henry Miller at
Niuchwang, a very interesting report On
the subject of foreign goods in China.
It is one of the traits of the Chinese peo-
pie, he says, to treat the things they use
very, very carefully. and hence, cheap
and poorly made articles, which would be
useless in twfnkling in America, last
long in the service of the Chinese. This
characteristic makes the Chinese market
for fiimsy, gaudy articles good one in
many lines, though 1t is also very true
that trade mark for substantial prod
ucts has greater value in Czhina than in
most other countries. The Chinese, says
Mr.. Miller, have an intense love for pic
lures and artistic ornamentation, and this
trait is aptly demonstrated by the salB
upon the streets of every Chinese city of
pictures and POSTERS such as are distribut-
ed gratis all eEer the United States. One
peculiar feature ofn the Chinese import
trade, 1t is sthted5q is the great quantity
of old iron imported wagon ties, horse
shoes, railway spikes and general scrap
gether. and stRat ato various uses: and
tense economgoef ths Chinese people
Mr.. Miller emphasizes the value OF a
careful study 81 Chinese ideas in adver-
tising goods in the Chinese market. For
instance. the Chinese have an idea that
milk revtveS the youthful powers and that
1t has an especial virtue as winter food
for old peoplean Pictures or posters bring

Ter. and the Japanese. especially, are

There is constant increase In the
variety Of imports into China. it is stated,
and one of the causes Of success in the
French trade and still more In the Ger
man trade, is the attention given to the
desires of the Chinese in regard to small
lines Of goods. The number Of Germans
who are establishing themselves in busi-
ness is increasing very fast. Consul Mil
Ter urges that American goods In China
be handled by American firms. and not
by agents Of other nationalities. who could
not be expected to take proper interest

GARDENING ON THE YUKON.
Report by Prof. GeOrgesOn to til
Agricultural Department.


A report has been received at the De-
partment of Agriculture from Prof. C. c.
Georgeson, officer in charge of the Alaska
experimenting stations, on the outlook for
gardening and agriculture in the cold in
terror region of Alaska along the Yukon.
Its general tone is decidedly encouraging.
Prof Georgeson spent the summer in the
interior and visited the experiment sta
ton established year ago at Rampant,
which is just outside the arctic circle, and
such other places as were selected for de-
partment experiments. In spite of an un-
usually late season there were ready by
the middle of August new potatoes, cab
bage, caulif1ower, beets and other Vege-
tables, while lettuce, radishes and turnips
grown in the open air, had been in use some
weeks. Flower seed furnished last year
had bloomed in a large variety of annuals
Rye, seeded the previous fall at Rampant,
had wintered perfectly and was fully ripe
In July. Spring-seeded barley had ripened
about the middle of August. The prospect
Tor oats and wheat to mature was most
favorable. On the lower Yukon extensive
areas of excellent land were found, where
there was an abundant and ZEN luxuriant
growth of grasses over six feet in height.
Abundant moisture and long summer days
account for the surprising vegetable growth
in that section Of the far north.
One of Prof Georgesons assistants is to
make trip overland from the Yukon val
ley to Prince William sound, taking the
trail from Eagle City. He will then make
sketches and notes of the agricultural
srowths of that region, which is reported
to contain large tracts Of ground suitable
Tor farming. A report of the seasons op-
erations at the Alaska stations and the
trip to Prince William sound is to be sub
mitted to Congress early in the winter.

GERMANS IN CHINA.
Progress of the Railway In the Sham

The rapid construction of German rail-
roads in Shantung province is the pre-
cursor of an extension of German influence
In that rich portion Of the Chinese empire,
says Deputy Consul General Hanauer at
Frankfort, Germany, in a report to the state
Department. Mr.. Hanauer says that the
Shantung Railroad Company. whose head
office rs in Berlin. has been informed of the
opening OF another long section of its road,
whereby a line of $40 miles has been COM
pieted. The work. says Mr.. Hanauer, is be-
ing energetically pushed, and the directors
OF the company believe that by May of 1902
the road will be In operation up to Weih-
sien, where the great land routes Of the
northern part of Shantung province con-
verge Ten miles south of Weihsien this
EeFWan road runs through one Of the main
coal fields, and by the middle of next year
coal from there will reach Tsintau, and add
to the Importance Of that port.
