Although to tell It makes us weep.

No man on that his thoughts can set; I
Not on your life! It's not, like that
When things are run by Father Matt.

And If that falls to start your tears,
A song I'll sing in spite of Jeers."

To whom upon his Jolly way
Our cheers, and not our Jeers, we send
To keep him merry to the end.

Of great Interest ij'lho following
from n Salt Lako paper:
After ten months of-suffcrlng Mrs.
Emily Wells Grant, wife of Heber
J. Grant, died nt 2:30 o'clock yester
day afternoon. , Stricken In July,
1907, Mrs. Grant struggled heroical
ly against the ravages of n dlsense
which for n long tlmo could not be
properly diagnosed, but which was
finally pronounced to bo cancer of the
stomach. This conclusion was revil
ed after shu had been removed trf the
hospital, where It was expected that
nn operation would he performed.
WMien tho nature, of tho malady was
learned, the patient wait removed to
her home, where she complacently
awaited the end. Mrs. Grant's moth
er, Mrs. Martha 0. Harris Wells, died
two weeks ago, and that event doubt
less hastened tho daughter's death.
Than Mrs. Grant, few of Salt
Lake's younger matrons wero better
known or more generally loved. She
was of li lovable disposition, kind,
loving, nnd charitable, and her
friends included all acquaintances.
She was n daughter of tho lato Dan
iel 11. and Martha G. Wells, and was
bom In this city April 22, 18(17. Bar
ring a brief sojourn abroad, bIiu lived
here all her life. She was a gradu
ate of the educational institution for
meily known as tho University of
Descret, nnd was a member of tho
alumni. In 1884, sho became, the wlfo
of Heber J. Grant, and her husband,
four daughters, nnd a host of rcln-
1 '
lives mourn her death, a sorrow
khatud by numerous friends. She
wno a sister of former Gov. Heber M.
Wells, Joseph S. Wells, Mrs. Thomas
W. Sloan, and Lieut. Hrynnt Wells.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
commencing at 2 o'clock, from tho
family residence, corner of 11 street
mid Second avenue, nnd will he un-
dar tho direction of tho bishopric of

Hero Is an Interesting account ol
u well-known citizen clipped from a
San Francisco paper:
Jlcv. Hiram Bingham, who nrrlvcd
hero yesterday from Honolulu on the
liner Alameda, la one of the most pic
turesque figures In tho modern his
tory of the south sens. Ills life has
been devoted to work in nnd for tho
Gilbert Islands, which he first visited
In 1 S r, 7 . Ho is going east from here
with the manuscript of a Gllbertcsc
dictionary, on which he has spent
many years, nnd which would have
been ready for tho printer long. ago
but for the parsimony of a British'
ethnologist.
This careful man of science visited
Honolulu years ago, In the days of
the monarchy. He had borrowed Dr.
Bingham's manuscript. When he left
he Intrusted the manuscript and some
books, also borrowed, to a Japanese
bellboy, with the request thnt he de
liver tho bundle, to Dr. Hlnghnm. It
was a long hike to the Hlnghnm res
idence. l'Mr his services as messen
ger the scientist gave the Japanese
25 cents. The boy took the money
und tho bundle, put tho money In his
pocket nnd the bundle In the fire. Dr.
Bingham had to do the work all over
again and has Just finished it.
Dr. Bingham, who Is 77 years of
age and nearly seven feet in height,
was the son of Hiram Hlnghnm, who
went to Honolulu In 1820 with the
first party of missionaries that set
tled there. Hiram Hlnghnm, Jr., who
arrived here yesterday, first visited
tho Gilbert Islands In 1857. His
health broke, down, hut he returned
r"
ngnln In 18G7 as master of the mis
sionary ship Mdrntng Star. His
health would not allow him to reside,
for any length of time on the equator
where the Gilbert Islands He, so al
, though working all tho time for tho
Gilbert Islanders ho has lived much
of the time at Honolulu, where he
now resides permanently.
Dr. Hlnghnm wns the first to put
I tho Gilbert Islanders' language Into
j writing and his work for his south-
era
hock includes a translation of
pait of the New Testament Into Gil
bcrtcso and the translation of a
number of hymns. In the latter
work tic was assisted by his wife. Tho
C:D3.l3.o language, ho Bald yester
day, contains about 12,000 words.
There aro 16,000 words In the Ha
waiian language.
When he first visited the Gilbert
Islands the natives had no knowledgo
of writing and had never seen paper.
The first mall that arrived for tho
missionaries was stolen by the nntlyo
carrier to whom it was Intrusted and
distributed In particles to the other
natives, who ate the scraps under tho
Impression thnt they were some kind
of whlto man's food.
Mrs. William E. Taylor was a pas
senger In the Alameda. She will
spend some time resting In San
Francisco and then probably go on
to Colorado Springs. Mr. E. M. Wat
son also is taking a trip to the Coast,
where he will Join his wife and child.
Thoy will return In a short time to
Honolulu.
