A host of friends wish them a long and happy life. A Happy Beginning of th New Tear. The residence of Mr. and Mrs. It. W. Parker on l'ark avenue, was brilliantly illuminated last evening, on the occas-ion of the marriage of their daughter, Annie L., to M". C. F. Horded of Salt Lake. Tho guests began to assemble at 7:30, and while chatting pleasantly in the parlor.at 8 o'clock the bridal couple presented themselves for the ceremony, which was performed pleasantly but impressively, by liev.

Much Dissatisfaction in the Beal Estate Exchange Over the Resolutions Ap-proving the Birdteje View, The members of tho real estate ex-change were in a very happy frame of mind this morning. They had read The Times' record of tho transfers for the year, and could hardly realize that in twelve months they had sold $jl.?50,-00- 4 of real estate. The showing excels that of any other city of 50,010 popula-tion in this country by nearly one-hal- The estimate of $7,008,000 in build-ings is not approached by any other city, even of double tho size of Salt Lake. The gain miles of railroad and money expended in broad gauging the llio Grando Western and Utah and Western is greater than that of any other state excepting Colorado whore tho heavy work on the Midland and Denver & Kio Grando ivas done. In the number of miles of street rail-ways Salt Lake, and in the perfection of their equipment Salt Lako is the ban-ner city of the west, the improvements in this line during the year far excels that accomplished in other cities. More small "dummy" lines have been built and are building to the suburbs than in any city of the same population. In every line of trade, including the increase of banking capital Salt Lake stands ready to compare the figures with any city in the country. . It has been an era of unparalleled prosperity and the real estate men had no small )iaud in securing the grand results. They have reason to congrat-ulate themselves roundly. W. H. H. Npaltbrd's Dig Deal. W. II. H. Spafford has a big sale ou tap involving tho sale of 34x105 of line business property between Second and Third South streets. The considera-tion, it is understood, is $23,000. The deeds were made out and all tho con-ditions to the sale agreed upon, but as there had been no actual transfer of the property further particulars were withheld. The Bird's Eye View Squabble. There was considerable feeling ex-pressed by members of the real estate exchange at the morning call in regard to the Bird's Eye view. Ouo of tho members openly charged that the reso-lution endorsing it had been run through a call meeting of the exchange without a quorum, and that ho would bring the matter, up at the regu-- 1 lar Wednesday meeting of the exchange. The rnen o. ning prop-- : erty west of the Jordan are not slow in giving vent to their dissatis- - j faction, as the bird's eye while showing ' all the ground from tho Jordan to the lake, ignores the valuable improve- - ments in the various outlying additions and gives a very desert" appearance. And again, the men with additions in the south part of the city complain that the picture shuts them out of its hori- - .on altogether. i It is unfortunate that tho sketch for' the view was not submitted for insoec-tio- n before worked on the stone, so that innumerable blunders and omissions might have been rectified. The various dummy lines to tho out- - lying additions, together with indica-- tions that there were such things in this j city as warm and hot springs would not have been out of place iu a true view of Salt Lake. The squatty effect of tho , majestic mountains could also have been corrected. Ileal Kstnte Notes. Messrs. Lynch oiGlassmati yesterday sold four lots in their Fourth South ' street - addition to F. O. Myer, J. L Maginnis and ,1. F. Meiimil. This closes half of the lots in the addition. Thomas E. Williams sold lot 10 aud 20 in Denver l'lace to Alice E. Simmons for 22,000 today. ' Don C. Duncan sold lot 7, block 10, plat A, Big Field survey, to J. A. Mor-lu- n for $2,250. , Priven to Suicide by Low of II it Dead Doy, Sidney Cluy was a London builder's clerk living in Euston roud. lie was C8 years of ago and had u wife and several children. A sister-in-la- lived with the family, and this lady had a pet dog, a toy terrier called Peep, which became a p-oa-t favorite with all. Clay took tha pet dog for a walk and lost it; presuma-bly the creature was stolen, for it was extraordinarily small and marvelonsly intelligent. Clay made every effort to recover the pet, but failed. Thereupon he became desjxmdent and moody, aud four months later he suddenly fell dead in the family sitting room. At the post-mortem examination it transpired that the man bad taken a (lose of cyanide of potassium with suicidal intent. It seems that clay h.id for a long time contem-plated making away with himself, for a letter (which bad been written three months) addressed to his wife was found upon his person. "To tho best and dearest of women, Marian, my Wife," be wrote; "there are times in the life of a mnn when be is su- - j premely happy. Such has been my lot with you until quite recently. Then comes a downfall such as bas befallen me. Since I lost our dear, darling Peep the life, light and. joy of our hearts I have been brokenhearted. I told you on one occasion I should never be able to brook her loss, and I feel I never can. With kindest love, your affectionata husband." Chicago News. HE RESIGNED. Mr. C. K. Meek, Ueuerul Manager of the Qulf DlTlilllQ. The latest talk iu local railroad cir-cles is about the resignation of Mr. V. F. Meek, general manager of the Gulf division of the Unijwi Pacilic. Mr. Meek has r 1 the office for some time with headquarters in Denver. There is a general belief among the lo-cal railroaders that all of the general managers of the Union Pacilic have been asked to resign. The guns of the company at Omaha are loaded to the muzzle and pointed westward, and for the next few weeks there will be Bonie effoctivo shooting. At latest accounts Mr. Meek's suc-cessor had not been named. time Judge Laney will be asked to rule Upon the question of whether tho grant-ing of the saloon license is a prerogative that is entirely discretionary with the city council. The defense will he rep-resented by two giants of tho local bar, Judge Dickson and Judge Powers, while the city will rest its fato with Messrs. Merritt and Eiehuor. in the meantime the volumes of the law library are being handled with bare knuckles, and a precedent promises to bo launched that will determine the question until such time as the legisla-ture may provide for it. A Youthful Crook. Burkey Dare, a fourteen year old marauder, was taken in last evening for stealing brass eastings from the Un-ion Pacilic railway yards with a view tn realizing on them at the junk shop. Dare is the son of a father who was con-victed of unlawful cohabitation and who served his term in the penitentiary. He gives excellent promise of reaching the stage before he gets through hove below. The only question is will the the sheriff not be the manager on the occasion of bis debut. Dropped HI Ducat. Charles llerley, a young fellow who likes poker and tho thrice of one ex-citing game drew the "big hand" at a Main street resort during the night and this morning recited his tale of woe to an oilier, lie had entered the place with a draft for $."j0 ou the Eu-elid- e Avenue National bank, all of which he left behind him. Henley should go before eourt and apply for a guardian who will keep him beyond range of a gaming table. Blanchard In the Box. Frank Blanchard, who is already held to await the action of the grand jury for flooding the city with forgeries, was brought before Judge Laney again this afternoon to answer to the Waldron offense in which he passed a spuriom check for $1)2.80. His tribulations are increasing with each shift of the police force and Marshal Young holds yet another check for $77.

A GUILTY PAIE ARE ENTRAPPED A Youthful Marauder in Durance The Check Fiend in Court A Ronnd-U- p with the Police. The police department of this city ex-perienced a New Year's that was prob-ably not shared by any rival corps of men in the country. Not an arrest was registered. Of course the debauchee is, under humanity's voluminous book of ordinances, entitled to some latitude, to some licenso on any of tho days we celebrate. The constant reader is cau-tioned that because the glato was not filled is not evidence that there were no drunks in the town. On the contrary many a man carried a load, to his lodg-ings.

The prisoners' guards who look after the motly battalion that is recruited from tho slums and quaUlied through police court, recently detected the foot-prints of the adulterer out at the gravel beds, between First and Second South, and determined to capture him, not-withstanding that he wore rubbers on bis nocturnal voyages. New Year's eve the plans were laid by the two guards, who took their position behind a gravel car and watched for the couple. They presently appeared and were soon iu tho cabin that is resorted to by the 'sojirs" of the chain-gan- g during ele-mental disturbances.

Charles F. Dunce was fined $5 and costs for drunkenness this morning. J. L. Ketchuin aud J. L. Blelock. aro held for petty larceny. James T. Riordau was run in by Officer Eslinger as a suspect.

The trap that bad been so deftly laid was walked into and at a signal tho guards entered. The d couple ' wore identified and invited to take .a walk. The masculine limb of the procession having threatened to resent the inter--i mption with violence, the guard pro-ceeded to Commissioner JiorreU'sofiice, where he swore out a warrant charg-ing him with adultery. Tho affair has created a sensation in the neighbor-hood and the denizens out there are all agog. Tho affair came near resulting in bloodshed at one period when the guard lifted the woman's chin that he might be positive as to her future identification. rield by the Enemy. The garroter ushered in the new year with a trick that rises above everything in his former record and that should teach the man who is not in his baliwick by sunset to move only in armed squads.

Here the chase was abandoned as tho Folsom party were without guns, and to pro-ceed further was liko walking into the Jaws of death.

There is a pompous cashier in a certain San Francisco bank who lost all his pride the other day. "You rnntit bo identified," he said to a tall, book nosed woman in green, red and blue, who brought in a check at a time his window was crowded. "Well, I I why I no, it can't be! Yes, it is, too.

As;t. Epidemics Among Animals. The epidemics which show themselves nt certain intervals in cattle and other domesticated animals have recently been the subjects of many reports and discus-sions. Among these diseases none has at- - traeted more attention than that which has recently decimated canaries and other cage birds. Not very long ago upward of i ,800 canaries died in one year at Nor- - with, England, and occasioned a loss to the owners estimated at about $5,000, A medical man is now stated to be hard at work inquiring as to the true cause of the disease, which at present is thought to partake of the character of diphtheria. The subject is an important one, as tha transmission of diphtheria to children from domestic animals has come to lie not only frequent but occasionally most serious in effects. New York Commer-cial Advertiser. Being Coached on the News of the Day. An educational feature of compara-tively recent establishment in private schools and seminaries for young ladies is one which might be put down in the curriculum of studies as that of current opinion. For tho past two or three years a number of the New York schools and several prominent ones throughout tho state have instituted weekly lectures upon topics of the times. For this pur-pose in some schools visiting talent is employed; in others a member of the teaching corps is detailed for tho work. The things talked about by the world at large at the moment are taken as sub-- jects, and tho addresses are vehicles for tho transmission of much valuable in- - formation which the young women ' would probably not obtain for them- - stives young women being the class par excellence, and almost tho only class, which doe3 not read the newspapers. These lectures are intended for tho ad-vanced classes, and are, though not so stated, indirectly directed to the removal of tho bread and butter taint from the coming society dobntante, it being no longer considered good form for even a young woman and a belle to be wholly ignorant of tho important questions of the day. New York Times. Old rubliions Kevived. Dr. Julian J. Chisolm, of Baltimore, has been inspecting the Babylonish cyl-inders in tho British museum, and has found from the intaglios cnt on them that the street dress of a society lady and presumptive leader of fashion in the year 2;lu0 B. C. had a tight fitting waist and slaves, and a ihmnced or accordion plaited clinging skirt, such as hangs in all women's wardrobes today. Moreover, the hat was high, and a general slender-ncs- s and length of line was visibly sought, the Babylonian Worth having anticipated his French successor by near-ly 4,000 years. Harper's Bazar. Primitive Methods of Washing. At Edinburgh the poorer classes still do their weekly laundering as it was done years ago. They convey their washing to the river, dump it into large tubs aud fill their tubs with water that has been heated in huge public kettles. Then the women pull off their shoes and stockings, and, holding their skirts well tip about their waists, get into the tubs and tread on the steaming liwen, there-by squeezing all the dirt out of the sev-eral pieces. This is so common a spec-tacle that the natives puy no regard to it at all, but visitors seem to consider it as one of the sights of Edinburgh, and but for the activity of the police the river-aid- e wonld be thronged with imperti-nent strangers every wash day.

A comparatively new crazb is the taste for smelling bottles filled with salts of ammonia steeped iu lavender water. The odor is extremely sweet and pungent, and a large smelling bottle of this sort, if left open in a room, soon impregnates the atmosphere with a delightful and re-- freshing perfume. The bottles nsed are plain, large mouthed affairs, mounted in silver and varying in size from two or three ounces to a pint The demand for the larger sizes is so great that one famous fashionable establishment has been ut-terly unable to fill its erders.
