KTOW that the excitement OF the
M great race is over, Dorando's
l. claim that Longboat trlpped and
threw him can be easily understood. A
man who makes uHfounded excuses
after defeat is usually known as
''quittcr." But this doesn't apply TO the
game little Italian, Dorando was on

OF the curb. When he swerVed his
foot struck the curb and slipped, throw
ing him suddenly. II ho had been
trlpped the result would have been

Dorando naturally thought something
of that sort must have happened. Scores

Admiral pewey's Birthday.

Washington. - Admiral George
Dewey was seventy years old Thurs
day. He is in splendid health and
robust IN physique.
Among his callers were a number OF
those who attended the admirars birth
day dinner last week, which was ad-
yanced in date because President
Roosevelt expected to be in Pine Knot.
Va. today. These circumstances re-
called a happy toast which the Presi-
dent prepared when they drank to the
health of the admiral. 1t follows:
ITO the man who has done more for
and reflected greater glory on America
than any other man now living"
The toast was met with hearty re-
sponse from those surrounding the ad-
miral's table.
At the meeting Of the Naval Relief
Association the admiral was presented
with two silver ink wells. The health
of the admiral was drunk from de-
canter, containing Madeira wine OF the
vintage OF 1S47. The decanter was
formerly the property Of George Wash
ington, and Surgeon General Van
Reypen. who made the presentation,
said I; was eminently fitting that the
health "of the other George. whom we
all love-" should be drunk from the
same decanter.

DEATH OF J. T. coRNFoRrH.
Noted Colorado Pioneer Drops Dead in
Seattle, Washington.

.'~S sSbs
Denver.-A Seattle. Washington dis.
patch December 9th, announces the
death of Joseph T. Cornforth, pioneer
freisnter of the great plains, explorer
for railroads and promoter of the Alas
ka Short Line. who dropped dead from
heart disease while watching a test
made on new ore crusher.
In 1897 he left Denver and went to
Seattle on his way 10 Alaska. In the
interest OF Canadian and Pittsburg cap
italists he made the first explorations
for what is now the White Pass & Yu-
kon railway.
Mr.. COrnforth was for many years
one of the best known men in Denver
in both business and political circles
and few men could boast as many
friends.
His death, coming suddenly, cut
short a career of business and rail-
road promotion in Alaska that he ex-
pected would make him extremely
though nearly sixty years old, he was
hale and hearty. and is said to have
tramped afoot over 10000 miles on
trips of exploration in Alaska during
the past ten years.
Joseph T. Cornforth was born In
Macclesfield. Cheshire. England, July
4, 1889 md came to the United States
In 1855.
Mr. Cornforth resided in Peru, Ill
inois, for about a year, during which
time he was employ in a dry goods
house, and then he combined with his
brother Birks in business in Atchison,
Kansas. A year later he went into
freighting with an OK team between
the Missouri river and Denver. At this
time he invented the egg case, now in
common use.
After freighting for about four years
he went to Cheyenne. Wyoming. and
engaged in the grocery business.
In 1870 his store was burned and the
savings of years were lost. He then re-
turned to Kansas City and engaged in
the commission business until 1874. He
again came to Denver in 1874 and en-
gagged in the wholesale fruit business.
With his brother Birks he later started
a new house, one of the largest of Den
yer until 1898, when the panic caused
suspension.
In the fall of 1897. after having sue
cessfully organized and conducted the
first gold mining congress held in Den
yer he interested company OF men In
building a railroad in Alaska over the
-
Yukon road, but failed to get fran
chiso. Canadian interests later built
the road, which cost $6.00O,0O0 and
paid the same amount in dividends the
first two years.
Since that time he has resided in
Seattle and Dawson. Alaska, seldom
returning to Denver. At the time of his
deaih he was president of the Alaska
Short Line railroad, which has begun
the construction of railroad from
Illiamnia to Anvik, on the Yukon river.
Mr.. Cornforth first discovered the
use of mica in axle grease. but the
Standard OIL Company got the patent.
Another OF his inventions was the poly
gonal banana case. He was also one OF
tn efirst advocates Of irrigation In
Colorado.
Mr.. Cornforth married Miss Emma
Roper, the daughter of prominent
citizen OF Glasgow. Missouri. in 1863.
He is survived by his brother, Thomas
T. Cornforth. a daughter. Mrs. Ed
monia Hamilton and a son. William b.
