DEATHS OF THE DAY
MILLIONAIRE BROWN DEAD
Denver Hotel Owner Succumbs at San
Diego After Long Illness

Special to The Herald.
SAN DIEGO, March 6.-H. c. Brown,
one of the best known of Denver's
many millionaires, died here this even
ing at the age of eighty-five years.
The illness lasted since the 23d of
last month, though he came here last

to have regained much of it though
extreme age was against Mr.. Brown.
Deceased was a native of st. Clairs-
vile, Ohio, where he was born Nov.
IS, 1920. He was pioneer of Califor
mia, having come to this state in 1S49,
but stopped at Denver in 1859, when
he was on his second trip to the coast.
The remains will be taken to Denver
for interment, leaving here in charge

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS.

The Baltimore Sun celebrated its
65th birthday on Thursday of last
week, and there is no more pleasing
occupation for the Egis than to
wish its contemporary many happy
returns. The Sun is an example OF
modern progressiveness in newspa-
perdom. While it has kept pace
with the times, yet it retains the
sterling qualities that first brought
its attention to the general public
The name of Arunah S. Abel will go
down to history as one of the great
newspaper men of the United States,
and his footsteps have been consist
emily followed by those who have
managed the destinies of the paper
since his death. Many other able
men who have contributed to its sue
cess have long since gone to that
Great Beyond, but their memory too
will be held in reverence by every fol-
lower of the profession who esteems
their ability and virtue.
May the Sun continue to shine in
the newspaper world as long as its
namesake luminary is in the frma-
ment of the heavens, is the sincere
wish of the Kgis.

THE RATE BILL.

The Railroad Rate bill, which
passed the Senate on Friday, is now
back to the House again, where it
had been referred to a conference
committee.
The bill as it now stands permits
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to fix maximum rate to be
charged where complaints are made.
1t can also make an inquiry as to
whether or not rates are unjust or
preferential, and is empowered to
enforce its rules, which go into effect
thirty days after the same has been
passed and remain so for two years.
Rebates can be punished by imprison-
ment of persons granting or receiv-
ing, and fines of from $1,000 to
$4,000 may also be imposed. Rail-
roads are compelled to keep sets of
books that are always accessible to
the Commission. United States cir
cult courts have jurisdiction to enter
tain suits to annul or change the or
ders of the Commission, and may
also grant interlocutory DEGREES
without hearings.
The weakness of the bill is in the
last section, and while the measure
will carry certain relief, yet unfortu-
nately the powers of the Interstate
Commerce Commission will be ham,
pered by the right to appeal to the
United States district courts. 1t is
fallacy, however, to argue against
this, as the law-making powers are
in the hands of a party bound by the
bonds of campaign contributions
from corporations to do the bidding
of those soulless beings regardless of
the peoples rights.

USING UP TIMBER.

The Bureau of Forestry estimates
that 100000 crossties were pur.
chased by the steam railways of the
country in 1905. This information
is based on the almost unanimous CO.
operation of the railroads, and the
bureau has thus secured data enough
on which to basea special report. 1t
is taken from the report of $50 COM
panies having an aggregate of 278,-
262 miles. Since the total trackage
of the railroads in this country is
293, 237, it shows how near complete
the report is. Over one-ffth of the
amount was used for the construc-
ton of new tracks, the balance being
for repairs on existing lines. Out of
the entire lot 80 per cent. of the
chestnut ties came from New Eng
land states, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, Delaware and
Maryland. The number of oak ties
used was over 100000, most of
which were furnished by the Central
and Southern States. The South
furnished 81 per cent. of the pine ties
used, and nearly one-fourth of the
entire number were pine.
The above statistics show that
nearly three billion feet of lumber
have been required for railroad ties
alone. At this enormous rate of con-
sumption, it is not hard to tell where
the country is going to land in a few
years, unless something is done to
increase its lumber supply. Fan
sighted managers of railways are
anticipating such a condition by
planting out thousands of acres in
timber. While science has made
many advances in supplying artif-
cial substitutes for many uses, there
has nothing yet been found to take
the place of wood railroad ties. The
lumber forests of this country are
rapidly becoming extinct. and few

EDUCATION IS WORTH WHILE.

Embodied in the report of the
grand jury last week, after session
of less than two days, was the signih-
cant statement, eve are enjoying
peace and good order to most
remarkable degree"
This utterance, coming officially
from such a representative body of
citizens, is worthy of more than
passing notice. The time was when
our grand jury sat frequently for
weeks attempting to ferret out crimes
committed in our midst, and in their
reports spoke of their inability to
discover and indict the guilty par
ties; but their sessions have gradu-
ally grown shorter, with the record
breaker of last week. Nor is this
tendency confined to the criminal
court; apart from actions for dam
ages against the railroads passing
through the county, the civil docket
also has grown painfully short for
the bar, and large proportion of
the cases are disposed of outside of
court.
There is nothing more interesting
than to hear the tales of how men
would bring down their bags of sill
yer to fight an ejectment suit over a
little strip of land whose value could
more properly be measured by cents
than by dollars, and how finally
both litigants would return to their
homes wiser but poorer men. They
said such were contests of principle;
we say they were contests of igno-
rant passion.
What has brought about this
change?
In our judgment it is the harvest
reaped from the work alike of the
Church and the State. Gradually
through the passing years churches
representing the Christian denomi-
nations for which they stand have
crowned our hilltops, and from their
steeples they call together the sur
rounding people to learn about and
love the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man. More and
more has their charity broadened,
until man no longer finds it impossi-
BILE to worship his Maker except in
the church of his especial choice.
But we desire to emphasize the
broadening and uplifting tendency OF
universal education, for which our
county has so conspicuously stood
for so many years. In fact, we feel
that the law-abiding intelligence OF
our body polite plainly demon
strates its worth from even the most
sordid excuse for its nurture,-econo-
my in government. The cost of
maintaining a criminal in idle con-
finement is not less than twenty
times that of moulding him into an
intelligent, productive citizen in the
sc!Ioolroom; while the inspiration of
the teacher is not to be classed with
the intimidation of the sheriff.
1t is never safe to be satisfied with
work we'll done, but a glance back
ward over difficulties conquered
helps to steady the eye for those
ahead, and in this line the Egis be-
lieves that Hartford county has kept
we'll up in the march of civilization,
and she will be spurred on to do still
better in the years to come.

ing a conviction that the sacred char
acter of the Sabbath must be care
fully and strenuously maintained,
and enjoining all ministers, officers
and members of the Presbyterian
church to exercise special care and
faithfulness and to discourage hold
ing funerals on that day. Disappro-
val is made of all games and sports,
travelling for pleasure and excur-
sions. Families are urged not to
buy anything on the Sabbath and to
give preference to shops which close
on the Lords day. Sunday news
papers are also condemned, and each
pastor is recommended to preach a
sermon in April on the subject of the
Sabbath.
The Assembly has voted unani-
mously to at once begin the organi-
cation of a mems society under the
name of presbyterian Brother
hood" The purpose of this society
is to bring the men of the Presby-
terrain church more closely in SYM
pathy with the church, and bring
about spiritual development, frater-
nal relations, UNCONVENTIONAL fealty,
the Strengthening of fellowship, and
the engagement in works of Chris.
tan usefulness. This new society
has the enthusiastic endorsement Of
the entire Assembly, and its organi-
cation will be made practicable as
speedily as possible.

with other emotions. To anyone who
cared for the acting, and had studied il
at all, she made it clear beyond al
doubt that she was one of the few people
In the world who really had the heart

changed. Her plain. black dress has
been laid aside for the daintiest of gay
