THE GREAT DEAD OF,I9Oi,
Year Has Been Notable in Passing of
Conspicuous People.

The year 1901 has been quite as nOta-
BILE as any of its recent predecessors in
the loss of those who have been conspic-
uous in their various departments of la
Dor and have made their names widely
known. The political world has lost Will
liam Mckinley, murdered during his
presidency by the assassin CZoIgosz at
the Pan-American Exposition; Benjamin
Harrison, the eminent lawyer and eX-
President; William NJ. Evarts, also a
great lawyer and ex-Secretary of State;
Prince Won Hohenlohe, the German eX-
chancellor; Francesca Crispi, the EXPIRE
IN. i of Italy, and Ii Hung Chang, the
smarteSt and saneSt man of his time III
China. Among the rulers of the world
Victoria, Queen of Great Britain, has
passed away, likewise the Dowager En-
press Frederick, Abdur Rahman Kahn,
the Ameer of Afghanistan, and Milan,
the dissolute ex-King of Seryia.
The world of literature and the arts
has suffered severely. Among the prom
inent writer's who have passed away are:
John Fiske. the historian; Charlotte NJ.
Yonge, and Sir Walter Besant, novellsts;
Robert w. Buchanan, the British poet;
William Ellery Claiming of the famous
Concord group of writer's; Maurice
Thompson, the story writer and essayist;
and Ignatius Donnelly, the rOmancer and
Baconian cipher inventor. Music has
lost Verdi, the last of the old school ltal-
ian opera composers; Benolt, who was
the chief representative of the Flemish
school of composition; Sir John Stalner,
the organist and author of the best die
tionary of terms yet produced; Franz
Rummel, the pianist; Alfred Patti, the
'cellist, and Audran, the French light
opera composer. In art France loses
Jean Cain, one of its greatest painters;
England, Kate Greenaway, the delight
full illustrators; and the United States,
James Med. Hart and Edward Moran,
two of the best representatives of the old
school of painting.

SENATOR DEPEW.
two DAYS had seem

ed an insurmountable legal obstacle. 1t
seems that Senator Depew went to Nice
unprepared with the documentary evil
dence required by French law in the case
Of foreigners. To secure this evidence
would have necessitated the postpone
ment of the wedding. In the dilemma the
Senator appealed to the State Depart
ment at Washington, and the matter was
arranged as already stated. The bride
being a Catholic, there were two relig-
ious ceremonies. The first took place
at Notre Dame and the second at the
Episcopal Church Saturday.
The trouble arose over the requirement
that there must be a civil marriage cere-
mony SO much authenticated informa-
ton concerning the bridegroom and bride
was required by the French code that 1t
would have been impossible to secure the
proofs without great loss Of time. 1t
was finally decided that the difficulties
might be met by having the marriage
ceremony in the United States consulate,
which is nominally American territory.

SAINT and Attorney General Douglas of
Minnesota, Gov Herreid and Attorney
General Pyle of South Dakota, Gov.
Hunt and Attorney General Stratton of
Washington, and Gov. Toole and Attor-
ney General Donovan Of Montana.
Gov. Toole delivered an address of well
come, after which the conference was
organized with Gov. Van SAINT as chair
man and Attorney General Martin as
secretary.
Gov. Van SAINT made a short speech,
in which he said:
THE State of Minnesota has had on
the statute books for more than twenty
five years laws prohibiting the consolida-
ton in any way of parallel and compel
ing lines of railway. 1t has been the
settled policy of our State to maintain
free open and unrestricted cOmpetl-
ton in freight and passenger rates.
1.-The Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific Railway companies operate parallel
and competing lines of railway within
the State. These are practically the
only roads which furnish any transporta-
ton facilities to the northern half of the
State, with the exception of the two
known as the Iron Ore roads,
1T has been recently announced that
Mr.. Hill and his assistants have obtain
ed the control of the Northern Pacltlc
Railway Company and intend to operate
the same Jointly with the Great Northern
and in effect bring about a consolidation
| by removing all competition and all rival
| ry between these roads.
'"TO this end the Northern Securities
| Company was organized in New Jersey
| to acquire a controlling amount of the
| stock of the Great Northern and North
| ern Pacific Railway companies In eX-
| change for its own stock and it is through
| this company that the unity of manage
ment and control is to be effected.
| IF there is such a consolidation con-
| templated, and that fact seems to be
| practically conceded, it is an open VIOLA
| ton of the law as we'll as the declared
| public policy of the State of Minnesota,
! and | feel that | should be Negligent OF
I my duties as the official head of the State
| if I remained QuieScent under such CIR
| cumstances.
| "Tbe people of the State of Minnesota,
| feeling certain that competition has been
| the chief factor in its development and
| equally certain that its destruction would
result in the greatest loss to both pro-
| ducer and consumer, have determined to
oppose this consolidation.
"This determination is not entered in
to with any spirit of hostility toward
railroads. Our State has dealt literally
with them and has decided to the various
! railroads operating within the State more
than 1O,5OO.OOO acres of land, or more
land than is under cultivation by the peo-
ple of Minnesota, and by the State and
national government at washington some
2O,OOO,O0O acres, being double the cult
/ waited acreage in the hands of the agrl-
cultural population.
I'm view of this and other privileges
granted by the State, it is but just TO
saw that railway companies owe reclpfo-
cal duties to the public, including cheer
| fnl nhedience to our laws.

YOUNG MEN WIN IN CHURCH.
Methodists Adopt New Constitution by
Required Vote.

Methodists Adopt New Constitution by
Required Vote.
The. conservative element in the Meth
odist Episcopal Church has been routed
The younger members have won in the
adoption of the new constitution which
was before the last general conference,
held in Chicago in May, 1900.
At the conference the proposed con-
stitution was referred to the various an
nual conferences throughout the coun-
try It has been announced that the con-
stitution has been approved by the neces-
sary three-quarters vote. The vote IS as
follows: Yeas, S,196; nays, lob. The
different annual conferences have been
voting on the new constitution for year
and a half and the subject has been the
principal topic of interest among blsh-
OPS, clergymen and laymen.
The conservative element, which op-
posed the new organic law Of the church
because it provided for the admission Of
women as delegates to the general con-
ference, made war on the new Constltu-
ton all along the line, but met with de-
feat. The vote, however, was exceed
ingly close at times and the final result
seemed in doubt until the ballots had
been revised.
The result IS interpreted as a victory
for the younger and more liberal element
in the church. With few exceptions the
conferences embracing the large cities
voted in favor of the changes proposed.
The Southern States and the missionary
conferences in China, India, Japan and
those in other foreign countries gave
large majorities for the new laws. One
hundred and twenty-one annual confer
ences voted on the question, a total of
1O,7OO ballots being cast by delegates.
The principal changes provided for by
the new constitution are in giving women
the right to sit as delegates in the gen
eral conference, giving laymen's cleo
toral meetings authority to vote on con-
stitutional questions and it changes the
vote necessary in the general conference
to amend the constitution from three
| fourths to two-thirds.

CORNER IN EGGS.
Prices of Hen Product Go Booming All
Over the Country.

Over the Country.
As a result of the cold weather and
corner" engineered it is said, by Chi
cago packers, New York is threatened
with an egg famine. Eggs sold in that
market at $1,000 a case, or at the rate
of SO cents dozen wholesale. For in
ferior brands dealers demanded 80 and
80 cents a dozen. Egg prices have been
SO cents a dozen in Philadelphia, "a in
Chicago, 81 in st. Louis and 80 in Kan
sas City.
According to Chicago commission mer-
chants, two packing companies within
the last ninety days have acquired and
withdrawn from the market 100000
cases Of Western eggs. The result is
corner in the visible supply, with its
inevitable Accomplishments.
"The two packing companies said
Chicago dealer, "have in cold storage a
half million cases, or 100000 dozen
eggs, which were purchased at an aver
age price of about % cents a dozen. These
supplies are held in the storage ware
houses as q speculative investment. If
the whole lot should be sold now at 80
cents dozen the corner would yield the
holders of the eggs gross profits amount
ing to $1,900,000."

clothespin was intended to seal removed
this muzzle from his mouth and ran

no sooner taken his seat in the school
room than he was again ordered to place
the clothespin on his lips. The boy re-
