That any person in the town Is
mean enough TO despoil and destroy
property as was done on North
Washington street Friday night Is
a matter of serious regret. Mrs r.
B, Williams who owns tenant
house on this street had renovated
the house and made It ready for the
occupancy of tenant. She left the
keys In the door and went away ex-
pecting the house TO be occupied at
once, For some reason the people
did not move in and at some hour
Friday night some one bent upon
the vilest sort of mischief entered
the house, burst the lamp globes,
broke window panes, turned the
water on in the kitchen and left It
running and carried away the keys
TO the house. The officers have
been notified of the act but no ar
rests have been made yet.

nR. JOHN WATSON.

The death of DR.. John Watson. bet
ter known to thousands of Americans
as Ian Maclaren, is most regrettable.
Only few days ago DIR. Watson was
seized with what seemed to be a trifiing
illness in an Iowa town, where he was
scheduled to deliver one of his lectures
The illness rapidly became more serious
and finally resulted in his death on
Monday. DR.. Watson will be particu
iarly well remembered in Salt Lake by,
reason of a lecture which he delivered
in the Assembly hail here some years
ago.
At that time he made many acquaint-
ances and renewed some old friend
ships. Those who met him knew him
as kindly, modest gentleman. who
walked uprightly before God and man,
and who went about preaching the gos
pei Of sunshine. DR.. Watson at the
time of his passing was not an old man.
He seemed, up TO the moment he was
stricken. to be in the very prime of his
life and usefulness. 1t was hoped that
he would be spared for many years to
continue his writing and his lectures.
DR.. Watson was born in England in
1850. He was educated for the ministry
at st. Andrews and at Yale, and since
1880 he had been pastor of Seton Park
Presbyterian church at Liverpool But
IL was as an author under the pen name
of Ian Maclaren that he was best
known. The first work that gave him
prominence was that great picture of
Scotch life, Beside the Bonnie Brier
Bush" This. partly by reason of the
dramatization that has been played in
all the English-speaking countries, is
his best known work.
In Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush"
DR.. Watson gave to the world of liter
AZURE characters that viii live as long
as some of the immortal characters of
Dickens. Who that has read the book
or seen the play will ever forget Lach-
Ian Campbell, "Weelum" MacClure.
'Posty" and the others, for they are
types that are drawn so clearly as to
be unmistakable.
DR.. Watson wrote many other stories,
hut his memory will live longest be-
cause of Beside the Bonnie Brier
Bush" Among his other works are
The Days of Aud Lang Syne," Kate
Carnegie" "A Doctor of the Old
School,, Afterwards" rabbi Saun-
derson" and Young Barbarians."
Under his own name, between 1895
and 1901, are included his THE Upper
Room" 1.-THE Mind of the Master"
THE Cure of Souls" lectures at Yale
on practical theology. The Potter's
Wheel. Companions of the Sorrowful
Way" THE Life of the Master" and
other works.

THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN.

Addressing a recent meeting of the
Daughters of Ohio, Mrs. DeRivera ar
gued for an enlargement of the rights
of women. Among other things, she
said:
Now. the way that every girl is brought
up nowadays is 10 believe that the one
cry of the times is that the girls must
not go out into the world. but 20 back
to their natural sphere-the home
But what l would like to ask is how
the girl is going to do this II she doesn' [
have a chance to make the opportunity ?
If she tries to make an opportunity she
is considered unworthy, unmaidenly and
no good. If girl in America is brought
up to believe that she must marry. then
she ought to have the opportunity to get
a husband. 1t is like teaching a boy a
trade and then not letting him practice
ii. A girl should not be educated that
way"
AS far as we are aware there is no
law that prevents any woman from
asking any man to marry her. She is
as free as the birds OF the air to pro-
pose whenever she pleases. and as often
as she pleases. 1t is true that she does
not pop the question very often. Social
conventions seem to act as a barrier.
But If a woman really loves a man and
has reason to believe the man loves her.
1t is up to her to breach the question
and find out for sure at the earliest pos
sible moment.
But, come to think about it, there does
seem something radically wrong in pro-
posals coming from the gentler sex.
Man bankers most after what is hard
est to attain. He will run after a girl
who eludes him until he has lost his
breath, passing on his way other girls
who might make him great deal hap
pier. And the elusive girl. If she wants
the man. usually lets him catch up with
her at just the psychological moment
Mrs. DeRiyera thinks every girl
ought to have an opportunity to get a
husband. Bless her heart, practically
every girl does have an opportunity.
Some of them have a great many op-
portunities and turn them all down. 1t
is indeed difficult for us to believe that
more girls would find husbands if pro-
posals on their part became general.
Girls do not marry men merely because
men ask them to marry. There is in
this country, thank goodness, a very
general entertainment of the old-fash-
toned notion that love should precede
marriage. 1t were better for the woman
TO remain single all her life than to
marry a man she does not love.
And it is not true that only married
women are of service to the world.
Think over your list of acquaintance
and see if you cannot find there an old
maid whose mission seems to be to
scatter sunshine, to be helpful, to love
and be loved? OF course you can find
her there. All of us know her We
know her in social life. and we know
her in business and professional life,
and she thoroughly deserves the warm
place she has in our hearts.
