HENRY PERRY.

Few more men in Utah will be
more missed in business, political and
social circles than Henry Peery, and
few will be more sincerely mourncd.
His kindness, consideration for 9th
crs and generosity made him many
very warm friends whose hearts were
filled with sorrow when he died. He
came from good old Southern stock
from which he inherited high ideals
of personal honor and chivalrW. A
prince in hospitality and entertaining
was he and the devotion of true
friend counted much with him. He
was never so happy as when helping
friends less fortunate than himself
Inheriting an ample fortune from
his father and reared in luxury he
was he and the devotion of true
gent and successful, largely increas
ing the means he received by inherit
cnce. In public affairs he was active
and was imbued with that quality
known as public spiritedness. In poll
tics he took a lively interest. He was
a member of the State legislature
some years ago and at the time of his
death was democratic national com
mittecman from Utah. He never
married and was closely attached to
his aged mother, who survives him,
and TO his brothers and sisters. In
the great unknown land to which he
has gone may his existence be bright
and glorious and all his paths be
peace is the fervent wish and prayer
of many sincere friends who loved
him.

out by the banks explains anything
at all, that the reason they pay out
their cashiers checks is because they
have not the ready money with which
to pay. The comparison between the
two cases however ends here. In
the first case, immediate requistion
is made on the police force and the
sheriff's office, and the fellow lands
behind the bars. In the latter case
the victim takes the paper, and the
police hear nothing about the trans
action. Funny, isn't it?
Chief Pitt, has recently made pub
lie, that the city ordinance against
expectorating on the sidewalks and in
public halls and conveyances, is to
be enforced with the utmost vigor.
There is nothing 10 criticise i'll this
action of the chief, as the habit is
an exerable one, and no man with
decency will fall into it. 1t does
seem a little strange though, that the
enforcement of the nearly obsolete
ordinance, should come so shortly
after the announcement that the long
skirt will be the leading feature in
fashionable attire for the ladies'. And
yet no one would accuse the chief of
being a lady's man. 1t is safe to say
that the dry goods man has had no
hand in the matter.

vigorous rays extending from it.
Th,se may signify the rising or set

and that the bird is far above it.
