The Great Railroad Man Has Succumbed
to Lengthy Illness.
A despat.h from Arden, N. Y.,
says: Edward H. Harriman, pro-
bably the greatest organizer of rail-
roads the world has known, met
the only lasting defeat of his ac-
tive life ou Thursday at the hands
of death. Secluded in his magni-
ficent home ou Tower Hill, sur-
rounded by members of his family,
physicians and nurses, he succumb-
ed to an intestinal disorder on
Thursday afternoon after a fight
against disease which will rank for
sheer grit with his remarkable
struggles in the financial world.
The exact time of his death is
known only is that limited circle of
relatives and associates who had so
effectively shielded Mr. Harriman
from all outside annoyances during
Int last illness. The time was given
to the world as 3.33 p.m., but Mrs.
Mary Simons, a sister of 11Ir. Har-
riman, said on Thursday night that
the end had come at 1.3o o'clock,
more than two hours precious.
Whether this apparent discrepancy
has any bearing on the current be-
lief that every effort was made to
lessen the influence of the financi-
er's death on the New York stock
market is problematic; but it is
significant that the time of his
death as officially announced was
just 35 minutes after trading had
ceased on the Exchange in New
York.
Mr. Harriman died peacefully,
and almost to the and his brilliant
mind retained its integrity. After
a relapse on Sunday he sank stead-
ily, and soon after the noon hour
cn Thursday there came a condi-
tion which marked the approach of
the end.
CHARGE WILL iII: MURDER.
A. U. Uarri.e, of Qu'.lppello, Sask.,
Succumb'.
A despatch from Qu'Appelle,
Sask., says: A. H. Harris, who was
found last week on his farm dan-
gerously wounded, died on Tues-
day. It is thought by the police
that Roper, after dragging his vic-
tim's body into the bluff, went in-
to the house, put on his best
clothes, packed a valise belonging
to Harris, and took his employer's
bank book, showing a substantial
deposit at the Union Bank, Qu'-
Appelle. He then drove to town
in the buggy, and it is alleged
forged and cashed a check for $60.
He left the horse and buggy at a
livery stable, said good-bye to a
number of friends, and took the
train east. Roper informed his
friends that he was going to Mont-
real. and it is believed he bought
a ticket for that city, but he left
the train at Winnipeg, where he
was arrested.

MRS. GOLDi'+IN SMITH DEAD.
Wife of Literateur Pusses Away
After Brief Illness.
A despatch from Toronto says:
The death occurred on Thursday
night of Mrs. Harriet Smith, wife
of Prof. Goldwjn Smith, 20 Grange -
'road. While Mrs. Smith's death
was not unexpected, on account of
her advanced age, yet the news
will come as a severe shock to the
large circle of friends who knew
her. On August 31, Mrs. Smith
took a slight chill, but nothing more
than extreme age was the immedi-
ate cause of her demise. No im-
portance was attached by the doe -
tors to Mrs. Smith's illness un-
il Sunday last, when she suddenly
became worse. From that time she
gradually lapsed into a state of un-
jconsciousness, which lasted until
death.

Statement a1 Montreal Enquiry Cy

A despatch from Montreal says:
The feature of Wednesday's evi-
dence before Commissioner Can-
non in the Royal Commission in-
destigation was the unqualified con-
emnation of the water supply of
mmttreal by three expert bncteriu-
ogists, one of them a no less
own and established an authority
than Dr. Milton Hersey himself.
The evidence of these doctors fol-
lowed that of Mr. George Janin,
Superintendent of the civic Water
Department, who affirmed that in
his opinion the water of the St.
Law rence was superior to that of
.. the Ottawa fur drinking purposes,
and t' sat the new intake would im-
prov,• the city's drinking supply,
but that the present improvements
'could not obviate the absolute ne-
t( ssity for filtration at some future
date.

13IGH-PRICED POULTRY.
Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dol-
lars for live Fowls.
No longer may we refer, scofling-
;yor appreciatively, to the "hum-
ble lieu"; the desiguation does not
fit. According to a contributor to
Country Life in America, chickens
bring hundreds and oven thousands
of dollars, and the poultry frater-
nity was not greatly startled by
the reported sale of a breeding -peri
of five white Orpington fowls by Mr.
Ernest Kellerstrass to Madame
Paderewski, wifo of the eminent
pianist, for seven thousand five
hundred dollars.
That is the world's record high
price for fowls. It was reported
later that the same purchaser had
offered five thousand dollars for an-
other lien, the mot.hei• of the seven
thousand five hundred dollar birds,
and that it had ben refused.
The latter report was incorrect;
k•ut. Mr. Kellerstrass admits that
Madame I'aderowski offered hien
two thousand five hundred dollars
for his hen --named Peggy, --but he
declined to part with her, partly for
sentimental reasons and partly be-
cause he did not need the money.
Tho five white Orpingtons were
shipped to Madame Paderewski at
her home in Switzerland, and were
insured before shipping for the sel-
ling price.
Two thousand five hundred duller
Peggy has been scored at ninety-
seven 1111(1 three-fourths points out
of a possible one hundred, and has
been called "the ten Thousand dol-
lar hen," a sum equalling the price
offered for her plus the selling price
of five of her progeny. She has
Leen exhibited at a number of shows
as a special feature, from two hun-
dred and fifty dollars to three hun-
dred dollars a week being usually
received for such an exhibition. She
is of the strain originated by Mr.
Kellerstrass, which he named Cry-
stal 1Vhite, because of the purity
(.f color.
Some five years ago an American
sold to a Gernsan fancier nineteen
rose -comp black Minorcas for three
thousand four hundred dollars, one
of the largest sales of pure-bred
poultry in the country up to that
time. One cock bird sold for one
thousand dollars, and n breeding -
pen of five bird, for one thousand
dollars- the highest price for a bird
and the highest price for a breed-
ing -pen.
Jest a year or two farther back,
at the Boston show, a l►utf hock
cockerel was sold for three hun-
dred dollars, a price at that time
said to bo unprecedented.
In the late eighties it was said
that good specimens of the white
Itock never exceeded twenty-five
dollars ; yet Mr. U. R. Fishel tells
of selling a cock bird for five hun-
dred dollars acd refusing one thou-
sand dollars for a first -prize cock
bird in 190e. At the same time he
sold the second -prize cock for eight
hundred dollars, the fourth and
fifth -prize cocks for five hundred
dollars. and the four hens in tho
second -prise breeding -pen for four
hundred and fifty dollars—a total
of one thousand seven hundred and
fifty dollars for seven birds.
Eggs for hatehinit purposes have
advanced proportionately. The
price of two dollars or three dollars
n setting is now very ordinary.
Many breeders charge ten dollars
a setting for eggs from their best
hens, some twenty dollars, and even
higher prices. Mr. Kellerstrass
rays that he could not fill more
than sixty per cent. of his orders
last sprinq at ten dollars, twenty
dollars, thirty dollars and forty-five
dollars a settin
Of course, if birds are worth and
will sell at such high prices. the
eggs that. will in the ordinary
eonrse of feathered events produce
similar birds should also bring
good prices.

unfortunately drowned at Prillo, 15

supporting party."
COOK SAYS NOTHING.
A despatch from Copenhagen
says: It is useless to submit the
most scathing despatches reflecting
on him to Dr. Cook, for he simply
smiles, says they aro untrue and
refuses to discuss them further. He
has an air of perfect confidence
without a touch of braggadocio.
His only reply to Commander
Peary's despatch stating that he
had not gone out of sight of land
was this statement :
"I have been to the North Polo.
A. I said on Tuesday night when I
heard of Commander Peary's suc-
cess, if he says he has been to the
Pole I believe him.
"I am willing to place facts, fig-
ures, and worked -nut observations
before a joint tribunal of the 'den-
tific bodies of the world. In due
course 1 shall bo prepared to make
public an announcement that will
effectually dispel any doubt, if there
can be such, of the fact that I havo
reached the Pole. But, knowing
that I am right and that right Hurst
prevail, I will submit at the pro-
per time my full story to the courI
of last resort—the people of the
world."

wards. The general average loads
of fair quality sold at from $4.85
to $5.10. Milkers and springers
were steady. Stockers, feeders and

and lambs firm. Hogs are now
quoted at the record price of *9.25

WAREHOUSE i.00TEi►.
Thieves Got Nearly $15.000 Worth
of Valuable Skins.
A despatch from Edmonton says:
A daring theft occurred last week,
the first of any seriousness record-
ed in the North, when from $10,000
to $15,000 worth of furs, the pro-
perty of Hislop and Nagle, were
taken from a warehouse at Atha-
baska Landing. The furs stolen
c(•nsist of three packs of miscel-
laneous furs, and thirty-five silver
fox skins in a trunk. Silver fox
skins alone are worth from 8300
to 8100 each. The furs were brought
down to the landing some tins ago,
and were being kept there pre-
I.ai•at(,ry to being shipped to Ed-
monton. They were in a storehouse
in which an entrance vas forced.
it is not definitely known what
night the robbery occurred, as the
goods had not been examined for
some days. The thieves may thus
have t,btained several days' start.

A despatch from Fredericton, N.

on Wednesday night, charged with
the theft of $835 of the company's
money. A week ago Beach report-
ed that the money, done up in pack-
ages ready for expressing to the
head office at Montreal, hud dis-
appeared front his desk duri'tg ten
minutes' absence. Detectives from
Montreal have been working on the
case ever since. It is said that an
audit of Beach's books showed le
large shortage in the sale of tick-
ets, and the detectives' theory is
that the prisoner used the stolen
money to cover this up. Beach has
always borne a good reputation. is
married, and has one child. Itis
salary was forty dollars a mouth.
