classic In its way; while his Life Of
Joseph Smith" sets high the biograph-
ical standard IN Mormon literature. He
was also the author OF a number OF
magazine articles on Utah and her peo-
pie. and of several thoughtful and mas
terly papers dealing with issues which
disturbed the public mind In the early
eighties. He was ever n ready and
pleasing writer, his language being sim
pie yet exact, and his style graceful
and clear. OF his work I'm the various

torical gifts We're splendid. and he eX-
erted at times an influence over hts
auditors that was marvellous In its
magnetism. While he was an extern
sive reader and a deep thinker, he
never delivered prepared sermons OF
addresses. From the well-1lled rccesses
of his mind, he permitted the inspira-
ton of the occasion to draw such store
as seemed suitable. and such demand
was never made In vain. one of his

convention" With no opportunity for
rest or preparation, President Cannon
began a recital of conditions incident
to pioneer days. and moved on into an
address of eloquence and power, at one
moment holding his audience SPELL

DEMISE An MONTEREY.

The return to the rigorous climate
of Utah in midwinter proved injurious
to his health, and early in March or
1901 he concluded to seek health In the
balmier air of California. He estab-
lished himself at Monterey, and for
short time appeared to improve. He
later began TO sink and at length In
the early morning hours of April IL
his great spirit took its flight. He re-
tained all his faculties to the end, and
short time before his death called
around him those of his sons who We're
present and pronounced upon them his
last blessing. Even subsequent to this
he received, and read with the deepest
pleasure, tender and affectonate let
ter from his lifelong friend. brother
and associate, President Joseph f.
Smith. His remains We're brought
home for burial, and his funeral was
the largest ever held in Utah.
The last celebration of his birthday
which he attended was held at the
home of his wife. Martha about the
end of January. 1901, the exercises hav-
ing been postponed from the proper
date until he should return from the
Islands. on that occasion. with the In
cidents OF his late visit fresh in his
mind and his early experiences recall
ed by that visit, he delivered most
impressive address of instruction, ex-
hortation, testimony and blessing to
his assembled family. All who were
present were profoundly moved. Tho
celebration today is at the residence he
built for his wife Caroline, now own
ed by his eldest son John O..
