WILL OF H. ~. ROGERS TO
BE READ WEDNESDAY

New York. May 25.-The will of Fl.
H. Rogers Is TO be read tomorrow at
his late residence in East Seventy
eighth street, by his personal attor-
ney, James H. Beck. Only the imme-
date relatives will be present
Previous to the reading OF the docu-
ment, Mr.. Beck would not discuss the
contents or the amount Of the esti-
mate involved, Estimates OF the
value of the estate range from S40,-
100000 to S100000,00O A number of
anonymous friends OF the late finan-
cier are quoted as saying that Mr.
Rogers left an estate worth much
more than was popularity supposed. In
the Wall street district, 1t is not be-
lieved, however, that the public will
ever know even the approximate value
OF Mr.. Rogers fortune, as 1t Is under
stood that the will was so drawn as to
conflne this information to the lmme-
diate benefciaries. There is a posi-
bility. however, that the state tax
upon inheritances may bring TO light
the much discussed figures.
The widow, who is said to have col
lapsed after the funeral services at
Fair Haven, was reported as improving
today and it was said that, following
the reading Of the will, she would re-
turn to Fair Haven for a long rest

USE OF CONCRETE.

At the recent annual convention Of
the American Railway Engineering
and Maintenance Of Way association,
held in Chicago, there were encour
aging reports presented concerning
the use of concrete. In one of these
reports, that Of the committee which
had under consideration signs, fences,
crossings and cattle guards, there
was unstinted praise of the concrete
post. This is q matter of interest to
thousands Of farmers and land owners
as well as to the railroad companies.
The committee found that the con-
crete post is particularly adapted to
railway use. 1t is not easily displaced
and may be easily and quickly con-
structed with portable machines and
Of cheap materials usually convent
ent to the place Of manufacture. Posts
that have been in place as long as five
years were inspected by the commit
tee and found to be In perfect condi-
tion and alignment. They resist the
action of fire and decay.
On the subject of concrete railroad
ties, the committee believes q proper
ly reinforced tie with proper fast
enings may be found an economical
substitute for wood or steel, where
speed is slow and conditions especial
ly adverse to the life of wood or metal.
While concrete tie as made at present
are not suitable for heavy and high
speed traffic. there Is little doubt
but that they will be evolved. and
even though confined to other situa-
tons, 1t will mean an extended use
Of concrete for this purpose.
The concrete roundhouse was also
discussed Concrete roundhouses have
already been constructed and are an
swering every practical purpose.
which seems to meet all doubt on
that score, but the committee had
certain theories as to concrete roofs,
which are interest. 1t was the opin-
ion of the committee that unless the
roof leaks badly, any pores in the con-
crete will be closed up by the cement
wash or whitewash put on after the
house is completed, or else by SCOT,
and that the chance OF any damage
from corrosive gases is practically no
thing. A suggestive feature Of the
report was the statement that the
justified in recommending cheaper
roofing for the concrete, as was done
last year The committee regarded the
test Of time as an important factor
in construction of this character, but
there is every likelihood that con-
crete will prove worth Of the conf
dence thus far manifested in Its dura-
bility and worth.

Lake City and that for moral guidance
the citizens of the capital look to og'
den. is made evident By the following
from the Deseret News Of Monday:
"By the by, the church organ hints
at Visits to Ogden and dealing with
managers in Ogden with respect TO
the putrid underworld there. Does
the News claim that the American
party established the Ogden red

parties ?"-Tribune. May %.
Yes. We did hint at" visits to Og-

vious american" administration, but
not for the purpose OF dealing with

tion whether we claim that the

"red-light" district in Ogden, Is
entirely supernuous, not to say fool
ish. Neither Ogden nor any other city
than Salt Lake is under discussion.
Do we deny that the Ogden dis
trict" was established by one of the
Church parties? Certainly. AS no
Church party exists, 1t must have
been established by some other
agency.

PREMATURE DIVIDENDS.

There seems to be an ever-increas-
I Ing tendency for mining companies to
paw dividends and make big splurgc
before they are hardly able to walk
alone. The injudicious payments of
dividends Is one Of the worst calami-
ties which can befall any mining
company. The after-effects, when the
bubble has collapsed, by far outweigh
the temporary buoyancy caused By the
posting OF an ill-advised dividend.
This policy of "grandstand" divi-
dends can be traced to one OF two
sources: either dishonest or incompc-
tent management Dividends should
be earned, and IL they come In any
other way they are illegitimate and
dishonest. Many times clever manip-
ulators declare profits from the sale
of treasury stock, and by this means
boost the market price OF the company
shares. When the time is ripe and the
stock has reached the high mark, these
same manipulators slip out from un-
der and the balloon comes down. The
money which should have gone into
development has been used to grease
the wheels OF stock promotion, and
the property is thrown on the Junk

juvenate a proposition which has re-
ceived black eye in this way.
In the other case an incompetent
management often loses its head be-
cause a little wave of prosperity
comes along. The treasury is depict
ed and soon the inevitable assessment
follows In the wake of the dividend
Or, if the stock happens TO be non
assessable. the end of the rope Is
reached and another dead one Is added
to the list. A healthy treasury bal
ance is a good thing for any company,
and little thrift against rainy day
is splendid policy. 1t is hard to figure
out why SO many companies commit
financial suicide in this way; but 1t is
Of almost daily occurrence, and they

ways Is urgent. The keeping in re-

the organization is perfected so as to

ABLE TO ENDURE MUCH COLD.
6ome Microbes Are Killed Only by
ESQ Degrees Below Zero.

The extremes Of heat and cold at
which life can exist have much great
er range than would be expected, For
some animals the greatest heat that
can be endured is los degrees. while
life, as we commonly understand 1t.
cannot endure beyond 130 degrees, at
which temperature albumen coagu-
lates.
But there are certain forms Of life
that can stand much more heat, Some
molluskS are not incommoded until
120 degrees Is reached, while the lar
vac of flies will endure 156 degrees,
and certain kinds of worms are not
killed until temperature of IFS de-
grees is reached
AS to cold, 1t might almost be said
that no cold is great enough to de-
stroy all traces Of life; certainly no
natural cold is great enough; 1t is only
by the extreme cold produced by ar
tiflcial means that all life is ended.
For frogs the limit is Is below zero.
for myriapods 5S below, for snails 1S4
below, a greater cold than is produced
by nature.
But the greatest cold registers are
the bacteria. The germs of the plague
have kept their vitality for severai
months In temperature Of "a below;
those of diphtheria have remained
alive after being immersed for an
hour in refrigerating solution at 76

The greatest cold sustained is by
the germs Of tuberculosis. which are
not affected by 14S below, and sue
cumb only to cold represented by 256
