Despite thrt announcement In Chicago
that the Century Opera Company would

cause of the exhaustion of Its guarantee

said yesterday that the company would
reassemble In New York next fall and
make every possible, effort to complete
a three )ears season with the tame com
pany Intact.
"There Is every reason to believe." paid
Mr. Strong, "that Mr. Kaliti, who haa
Just resigned, will come back on 'lie
board ot directors In tho fall If we
are successful In helping to islso the
$50,000 guarantee fund as suggested In
his recent letter."
"We Hie fully prepared to conllnuo the
work of thn Century Opera Company nnd
will endeavor to maku it ii permanent
Institution In this city. Tho Immediate
effect of tho suspension of thn company
at this tliiiu will only bo tho abandoning
of thn tentatively contemplated tour to
Pittsburg and Cincinnati. Tho spring

probably not take place following pres

Noted Nnturalist Dies in Cali

ItlSK OF THE SCOTTISH HOY
T5S ANOt;t.M. Cal.. Dee. 21 John Mnlr.
the naturalist, died hero to-day In a hos- I
puai or pneumonia, no was 76 years old
John Mutr, who loved the great ranges
of the Sierra Nevadai ro much that ha
spent ft largo portion of his life In their
rugged fastnesses, was born In Dunbar,
.-iguana, April i,ibj9. i nn love or mo
wild was born In him and when he first
read of the great American forests In his
school reader his chief hope was that somo
day he might roam them and learn their
secrets.
When he was 11 years old hl father
brought the family to America and went
deep into the Wis
consin woods to hew
out for himself a llv
Ing. The boy John
helped his father
clear the land and
did mathematics on
tho chips that flew
from his axe. There
was not enough time
for study to satisfy
his oravlns for
knowledge. The elder
Mulr ran Ills house
hold with true Scot
tish firmness and the
boy finally obtained
permission tu get up
at I o'clock In tho
morning Instead of f,
so that he might de
vote flvo more hoiiin
tu Ilia books,
Inha Mnlr.
He showed an Inventive talent thai half
nmuicd and halt irritated his father, who
thought that the busy whittling of his
son was time wasted. Hut thn sou did
not stop It and turned nut some Ingenious
contrivances of wood. Although he had
never fecn n clock, he made one that In
dicate! the days of the week and the
month and had attachments for lighting
fires and lamrs and awaking sleepers.
Then he learned that for (1 n week
he could study nt the State l'nlversity,
Hnd worked folir years there, supporting
hlmjielr by labor In the fields and school
teaching He worked methodically, as he
had at home, nnd fashioned a mechanical
contrivance In his desk that presented to
him at certain hours the bo- ks which
he nniHt study.
Suddenly nil accident .ilmnt deprived
him of the sight of his right eye, and
the blow so stunned him that he wrote
lattr: "I felt neither pain nor falntness,
the thought was so tremendous that my
right eye was gone, that I should never
look nt a flower again."
Hut the ee grew stronger, and with
the New Testament, Hurns's pi-m and
Milton's "Paradise Iit" he stnrttd forth
on a long tramp, sleeping In the open and
gathering plant specimens. He walked
throtnrh Kentucky. Tennessee. Georgia and
Florida.

he changed his plans and went Instead
to California by thn way or the lthtmis.
nnd landed almost penniless In San Fran
cisco In April. 1S68. Then ror the first time
he saw tho giant crests or theSlerraNevada
Mountains, which drew ltlm intothelr great
soilludes, whero lie was destlnd to rp"nd
many years or his lire. He left them
often, but always went back.

These, men laughed nt Mulr's presump
tion to chullenge their determination, but
he lived to see every scientist In the
world declaro that he was right and the
others wrong.
His love ror fc'ie valley, which he was the
first to describe, gained him the nauin of
"The Father of the Yo.emite." and in
1889 lie so interested Hubert I'ndrrw ood
Johnson, then anwiciate editor of the Crn
turv Magmlnr, In the need for national
control of the valley, that Mr. Johnson
.succeeded In having a law lussnl setting
aside the Yosemlt as a natimal reserve.
He Joined tlie I'nlted States Coast and
Geodetic Survey In 1S70 that he might
Increase his knowledge of the diverts and
mountain ranges beyond the Sierras, and
for thrfo years lie worked In Nevada and
ITtah, His glacier studies took him finally
to Al.ihkn, where he explored the region
north of Fort Wrangel nnd discovered
Glacier Hay and the great Mulr glacier.'
On his travels through Alaska he went
