Celebrated by His a Many De-
scendants, Friends and Ad-
mirers This Afternoon
AT GRANITE STAKE HOUSE
Exercises characterized by Informal
ity, No Set Program Having Been
Arrangcd-Gencral Authorities.

At the Granite stake tabernacle this
afternoon the centenary ,of the late
President John Taylor is being cele-
hrated by his descendants and the
number present is augmented by the
attendance of many friends. This is
not the date, however, Of the anni-
versary of the birth OF the dlstin-
euished man whose memory is thus
honored, that day falling on Sunday
last. The family decided to celebrate
the event today, and accordingly iu-
vitations We're sent out requesting
friends to join in the function
The exercises are characterized by
been arranged. Among the guests are
majority of the general authorities
of the Church, and among the speak
ers of the afternoon are men who wer-
closely associated with President Tay-
lor during the last several decades OF
his life. Interspersing the speeches.
old-time songs were rendered, with
iscenses.
Elder John Taylor was the third
president of the Church Of Jesus Christ
of Latter day Saints, succeeding Pres
ident Brigham Young in that capacity.
From the death of the latter, Aug. 90,
1877, until October 1880. Mr.. Taylor was
the senior member of the quorum OF
the apostles, which body was the pre-
siding council of the Church. In the
last named year the first presidency
was reorganized, With John Taylor as
president. George @. Cannon and Jo-
seph r. Smith as first and second
counselors, respectively.
Seven years he held the exalted po-
siton, his death occurring July Is.
1887. During almost the entire period
of his presidency, stirring times We're
witnessed in Utah, the Church passing
at that time through one OF the most
crucial epochs of its history. The
man at the holm was fully equal to
every emergency, and II was conceded
as much without the Church as within
that he was the one man for the place
at that particular time. His name is
| indelibly written in the memories of all
| who knew him and is as indestructibiy
| recorded in the annals of the Church
for which he suffered all but martyr
| dom.
For more than 40 years Mr.. Taylor
| carried in his body a bullet that he
| received at the time that the Prophet
| Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrun
Smith the Patriarch We're murdered in
cold blood. The evenetful day was
June 81, 1874.
John TAYLOR was born Nov. l. 1908. in
i Milnthorpe, near Windemere, West
noreand, Eng, the son OF James and
Agnes Taylor. He was about "a years
of age when he enigrated to America
in 1892. and having been converted t.
Mormonism by Elder Farley P. Pratt
he was baptized May O. 1886.
The part taken by Elder John Taylo
in the upbuilding OF the Church witt
which he became identified in it's in

tlement OF the intermountain countr,

BRYAN Bit !ERLY
D| APPOINTED.
Confident Of Victory Until the
Very Last He Could Scarcely
Believe Had Been Defeated.
GRATEFUL TO HIS FRIENDS
Much Pleased With the Vote in Ills
Precinct and City of
Lincoln.

Fairvie~, Lincoln. Neb.. Nov. 3,-WiI-
liam il Bryan tonight received at his
home, FairView, the returns which
early told him that for the third time
he had been defeated in the greatest
ambition of his life. Confident of vic
tory to the very last, he was not pre-
pared to believe that his cause was
lost until the pluralites OF his Repun-
lican opponent piled up in such pro-
portions as to leave no room for doubt
When the early returns came III he
made particular Inquiries regarding
the state of New York, and found much
encouragement in the gains he was
making up state over the Democratic
vote OF 1904, but as the figures con-
tinued to be received he relied on
Greater New York to Offset the heavy
Taft vote above the Harlem river
Even IN that he was bitterly disap-
pointed, and he soon realized that the
state was hopelessy gone and with IT
his prospects of being elected
According to the predictions Of his
managers, he was led to believe that
he would be elected without the aid of
the Empire state, and he turned his In
Gurics toward Ohio and Indiana. The
tenth Ohio district was source of
satisfaction, and to him Indicated that
the prophecy that Ohio would &C
Democratic would be fulfilled. He also
got much comfort out OF n telegram
from John e. Lamb, member of the
advisory committee from Indiana
stating that the indications were that
Indiana was probably Democratic, and
he derived good deal Of satisfaction
rom the fact that his own precinct had
given him q handsome majority and in
the reports that he again would carry
his state.
After nearly three hours spent in his
library, Mr.. Bryan came upstairs and
talked to The newspapermen and others
who had assembled in the "workroom."
He read some further returns, but they
told the same story OF defeat and he
announced that he would not have any
statement to give out tonight.
A large number OF the voters of his
precinct came in to congratulate him
on its being carried for him. and after
chatting With them for a while he went
into the house, first stating that he
would retire at 10 o'clock.
While a number of Democratic lead

nnce as the ladies' many of them in
evening dress, eagerly scanned the bull

Democratic victory, while the men

over the situation

Home Notes.

Drive a hook or staple in small end
of ironing board and hang In closet or
inside Of door.
In choosing a chicken it should be
plump on the breast, fat on the back
and have white legs. An old chicken
is distinguished by its rough legs, and
long hairs are found on the breast.
1t is an excellent plan to have a
"house purse" downstairs In a con-
venient place, so that when a little
change is needed for something you
are not obliged to run upstairs for 1t.
Never put a deep border on a low
ceiling room. 1t Is really better not
to have any at all. A Powered or trellis
effect will do much to give height. If
two small rooms are together 1t is bet
ter to paper and carpet alike, giving
the effect of one room.

Eighty-five per cent Of the people

An island in Lake Superior has been
stocked with caribou, Caribou island,
so named because it formerly was

The last herd Of antelopes In the

DUTCH STREET CARS.

The Conductor Carries More Doeu-
ments Than a Congressman.
Countries may be known by their
street cars. The rush and jar of our
big cities are exemplified In the rapid,
rude transit of its inhabitants. So the
character Of orderly little Holland may
be gathered from observation Of her
car service. Says J. U. Hignbotham
in Three Weeks in Holland and Bel
GUM"
Street car fare in Holland is cents
a trip, and for 4 cents you receive a
return ticket. The conductor carries
more documents than a congressman.
For every fare he opens an aluminium
box about 4 by and hands out a re-
ceipt or a return ticket, as the case
may be.
When the passengers pay their tick
cts he places the tickets in a leather
pouch hung by a strap round his neck.
1t is important that you retain the re-
ceipt given you, for at uncertain in
terVals a "controlleur" gets on the
car and examines all receipts, puts his
o. X. on them with a rubber stamp
and compares the result with the man
ifest or log carried by the conductor.
1t is quite the correct thing to tip the
conductor with a Dutch cent or two
Each car has a card inside stating
how many places there are, and on
each platform is another saying how
many people may stand thereon
When the seats and both platforms are
full the sign "Nol" is put mp and no
more are permitted to get aboard
Our car probably had thirty people in
it and on the platforms and was turn
ing business away at every crossing.

A NEW WRINKLE.

Ferns as Preventive In Keeping Food
Fresh.
The hOusekeeper who is ever on the
alert for new wrinkles in keeping food
fresh and sweet should test for her
self the power of fern leaves as a pre-
sentative.
The consul general at Frankfort is
responsible for the statement that
ferns keep meat, fruit, butter and fish
in a good condition longer than grape
leaves, straw or any other packing
medium.
They are much used to bring prod
uce to the English markets. and the
ManXmen usk them entirely to pack
fresh herringl for shipping.
The high percentage of salt in the
ferns appeats to be responsible for
their preserS ative qualities. and the
strong odorl OF the leaves wards off
maggots and prevents early decay.
This is AZ good time for the house
keeper WHO lives in the country, where
ferns are plenty and where food must
be stored in quantities, to try this rem
edy for herself.
Potatoes and apples packed in ferns
are said to keep many months longer
than " stored in any other way. The
garden vegetables which are usually
covered with straw until needed can
have fern leaves put over them in
stead. Even fresh meat can be wrap
ped in them and kept longer without
spOiling
