Philadelphia. Dec. 29.-Alexander
Johnston Cassatt, president Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company and
one of the foremost railroad men and
inanciers in the country, died sudden
ly at his residence here. Mr.. Cassatt,
who was a little more than s~ixty-seven
years Of age, was stricken with heart
disease shortly before / o'clock and
died before assistance could be given
him His malady Is known profession
ally as "the Stokes-Adams synbrone."
Though Mr.. C~assatt's death was en-
tirely unexpected he had been in Ill
health for nearly a year. His condi-
ton was aggravated by an attack of
w%hooping cough, which he contracted
from his grandchildren while at Bal
Harbor In September. He never en-
tirely recovered from the effects Of the
attack but was much improved by a
rest and early in October began going
regularly to his Office. Shortly after
ward he was again stricken, having
contracted a heavy cold. During No
vember he was sufficiently recovered
from his illness TO resume his visits to
Broad street station and he continued
attending to important matters until
his birthday, Dec. s. After celebrat-
ing the event with his family he never
returned to his duties.

NEW LAWS In EFFECT
IMPORTANT LEGISLATIVE ACTS
OF CONGRESS TAKE FORCE
WITH NEW YEAR.

Washington, Jan. 2. - Tuesday
marked the beginning Of the life OF
several legislative acts of congress
important alike to the nation as a
whole and to the citizens Of the Dis
trict of Columbia. These are the free
alcohol law, the pure food law, the
anti-pass section of the interstate COM
merce law, the modification of the
navigation laws to simplify enroll
ments and licenses and a law with
reference TO the licensing of druggists
In the District of Columbia.
The pure food law contemplates bar
ring from interstate commerce all
foods that are injurious to health. The
free alcohol law is intended to assist
farmers and smaller users of power to
have a fuel hat in efficiency and cost
shall be cheaper than gasoline or kero-
sene. The anti-pass provision of the
interstate law forbids com
mon carriers, directly or indirectly
giving interstate free tickets or passes
for passengers except to their en-
ployes and families, agents of the Ca.
riers and their surgeons, physicians
and attorneys, to persons engaged IN
religious and charitable work and Ia
certain other specified classes.

nal from Canton, S. d.
The political situation in South
Dakota at this time is filed with
more than ordinary interest to
republicans, who have looked for the
cleansing of.the party from every
faint OF graft. Strong opposition to
Senator CANDLES reelection is
developing because Of the cloud
against his record. and the insur-
gent leaders are evidently casting
about for an available man to bring
out against him. At Huron it is
openly talked hat Thomas Thorson
OF Canton might be a candidate for
the office if the republican caucus
would tender it TO him. The argu-
ments brought up ia Mr.. Thorson's
behalf are for years he has been
lighting the machine element Of the
party, and that to him, o than to
any other man in the state, is due
the defeat Of the machine" The

posed to have their first state victory

J. Pierpont Morgan. Jr., and Cleveland
