The future man will bo a curiosity in his way. We doubt whether he will exert any of the physical powers given to him by the Creator. At any rate tho genius that controls the forces of nature is steadily tending to abolish' the use of them. It is surprising how easily we adopt, and adapt ourselves to, modern conven-iences, and how loth we are to dispense with them even for a moment, once they are introduced. Only a brief six mouths ago we possessed but the most primitive means of street commu-nication In the shape of mulo ears that ran at uncertain intervals and within a circumscribed area of the city.

THE TRACK JACK'S WORK.' Left on the Balls It Wrecks a PassenBr Train. A track Jack Is a most useful implement in the prosecution of railway construction or repairs. It is about two feet high, and the outside casting is half an inch thick. The inside is hollow, and down through the center runs a strong piece of wrought or malleable iron that is used to raise n loHd. It resembles the ordinary tool used to raise carriage bodies, and l.s commonly known na a "Jv'o. 1 ratchet jack." v i tew HK FATAL IMPLEMENT. Yet to one of these ordinarily harmless aud useful instruments is due a terrible tragedy of recent date. When the Wood's IIoll express on the Old Colony road dashed down to Quiucy, Mass., at noon the other day gome track repairers got out of the way, and one of them left a jack on the rails. The result was the wreck of which nil the country has heard, aud in which sixteen persjns lost their lives and tweutj-eigh- t were injured. THE STREET CAR STRIKE. It was evident from the proceedings of the street car employes, first pub-lished in' The Times, that a strike would be ordered and the public was therefore not surprised when it found itself this morning minus the usual means of transportation. Tho trouble was precipitated by the refusal of the employes to clean up the machinery and motors after the conclusion of their runs, claiming that it was an unwar-ranted hardship to them, while the of-ficers of the company insist upon tho contrary. As usual in such cases, both sides are stubborn in their refusal to give in or compromise the.ir differ-ences. Without entering upon the merits of the trouble at this time, The Times suggests that tho public has an interest in this strike which both parties to tho controversy seem to overlook or ignore. The street cars are, in a certain sense, common carriers and as such owe to the city that has given them valuable franchises and privileges a duty which they cannot properly neglect. Whether tho corporation or its employes suffer the greater hardship from tho demand or the refusal of the demand of the strikers, it is certain that the greatest hardship falls upon tho people who are deprived of the uso of the cars In the pursuit of their daily occupation, and it is no more than right that they should insist upon a speedy termination of ihe 'blockade now existing. It connot be reasonably expected of them that they should either walk long distances, since a great iiumbor of tlicin,' depending upon rapid transit, have taken up their residences in remote parts' of the city, or that they should hire ciAiveyances at a great personal expense and incon-venience. If the differences aro so slight ns rep-resented by both sides there should be, and we hope for the sake of all con-cerned there will be, no difficulty in coming to an amicable settlement. We do not believe congress will pass tho Boothmau bill, fixing the congres-sional districts in Ohio. If the ' demo-cratic gerrymander is obnoxious to the peoplo of the state, they can repudiate it. For congress to meddlo with it would be an uncalled for interference more repugnant even than the Loslgo election bill.

Salt Lake City is not noted for strikes. Contented labor is the secret of our success. Louisiana will lose her most thriving industry as soon as tho president at-taches his signature to tho anil-lotter-bill, which will probably be done to-morrow. If German cupidity is so insaliablo ns to tolerate tho slave trade in her Afri-can possessions, what is to be thought of the influence of nineteenth century civilization? LOOKED LIKE A MONSTER. Appearance of the Cyclone That Devas-tated Wtlkesbarre. "A tawny yellow body fringed with black arm and claws." By such a phrase does a survivor of tho recent cyclone at Wilkesbarre, Pa., de-scribe the monster of the air that swept down with relentless might upon the hand-some little city, and marked its passage with the bodies of a score of victims. Tiie A WRECK AT FIVE POINTS. cyclone it seems to have been that rather than a tornado it is now pretty well hatl'its. birth right in the Wyo-ming valley. . After a lowering and muprgy day a storm came up from the south, and had hardly manifested its presence when another rushed down from the north. The two tempests met in fierce wrestling and the elemental havoc spread ruin far and wide, A broad swath was mowed through the center of Wilkesbarre, and nothing in the path of the storm escaped its fury. Twen-ty people lost their lives, many others were injured and the damage to property mounts up to hundreds of thousands of iollars. j - ( The Question of Contat'loii. An exchange makes light of the idea that there may be danger in the tubes of the phonograph. It holds thut there is no danger in the barber's chair or the wash room or door handles, etc. The same shaving utensils aro used for dif-ferent men, the eauie towels, and all sorts of. people handlo the same door knobs and no harm is done. How did the exchango learn that, through these and other means of connection, disease was never conveyed? Did the exchange never hear of the barber's itch? Do not unaccountable sores appear upon men of pure blood and correct habits? How are cholera and smallpox and yellow fever and skin diseases conveyed? In the case of the phonograph there is no danger so long as the instrument is a private one, as there is none where one's own shaving utensils and towels only are used. But the public phonograph which is operated by the uiekel-in-the-sl- process is a dif-ferent matter. Tho two prongs are not only handled, but thrust into the ears as close to the drum as possible, and put into many pairs of ears daily. There may be no danger from the prongs, but it is well enough to wipe them thorough-ly with your handkerchief before put-ting them into your ears to hear s band play "Annio Eooney." Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. CIIC Kill TKIAI.S. A lunatic or a knave by the name of Schweiufurth has for some timo past posed as tho Savior returned to earth and established a "heaven" at Rock-ford- , 111., where his followers meet in worship and adulation of him. From all accounts this henven is a hotbed of tho grossest immorality. Stories of the most incredible debauchery have come to light Invoking the interference of the courts though only, it would seem, with indifferent success, as the fellow is still at largo and prosecuting his nefarious trade with immunity. Naturally it was supposed that .Schweinfurth's dupes were wholly recruited from the dregs and scum of society, but it appears from tho expulsion yesterday of the Francis couple from membership in tho Chris-tian church that the fraud is drawing converts oven from people of intelli-gence and alleged refinement. So credulous is human kind that it can be imposed upon by the most transparent humbug. But the most amazing part of the whole thing is that there should be any question raised regarding the .justice of dismembering a person, or a number of them, after they have delib-erately gone astray anil embraced tho worship of a creature of "diviuo" im- - puuenco or insanity, However the Francis ease, in connec-tion with the blasphemous Schwein-furth- , is not a solitary ono, though it is tho most revolting one, on record. It often happens that ministers who re-pudiate tho church, or tho creed which they have been ordained to preach, still Insist on remaining in fel-lowship with it, and a false public sen-timent sustains thein in their position, It is not necessary to mention names, as any one conversant with the church history of this country will readily re-call a number of them. As a matter of fact, this is a free country in wh'ch every person is at liberty to worship accord-ing to tho dictates of his or her own couscieneo and a minister or layman has the indubitable right to change his be-lief as often as ho sees lit. Nobody will impugn his honesty or motives for that; but the proper thing for him to do is to voluntarily and at once sever his connection with tho church ho has for-saken. We canuot understand the logic of a man, bo his name Francis or Newton or MoGlynn, who will main-tain his right to remain in a church with which ha is avowedly no longer in sympathy, and then complain of the injustice of a church trial that decrees his expulsion. Minister Mizncr, in a dispatch to tho state department yesterday, confirms tho election of President Lzeta of Sal-vador. As his only rival for the oflico was absent in Guatemala, no bloodshed occurred. ' We see no valid reason why women should not take part in the management of tho Columbian Fair. Commissioner" McDonald was right. There are cer-tain duties connected with tho fair that women are more capable to perform than meu. Maes of Meteors. The particles of matter producing shooting stars may be astonishingly mi. nuto. In a recent investigation Mr. C. C. Hutehius has found that on the supposition that tho rays of a me--, teor have the same ratio of visible to to-tal energy as those of the standard can-dle tho mass of a meteor at a distance of fifty milos, having a magnitude etpial to Vega and a velocity of twenty-fiv- e miles a second, would bo about four and one-ha- lf grains if it continued two seconds, A lump of tho Emmott county, la., iron meteorito burned in an electrio current gave ten times the light of the candle; hence tho mass of a meteor giving the light of a first magnitude star moving with parabolic velocity, and lasting two seconds, is less than a half grain. Traveler. Notwithstanding the mutilation of Kennedy's speech in the Congressional Itocord, tho friends of Senator Quay aro not satisfied, but demand that it should bo expunged altogether. It is a case of locking tho barn after the horso has been stolen. Count Tolstoi is ill. His rare genius has given signs of decline some time ago when ho fell from the lofty inspira-tion of "Tho Cossacks" and '"Anna V Karen i mi" to tho gross production of tho "Kreutzor Sonata." Tolstoi is but sixty-tw- years old. No action was taken by tho council yesterday evening in the matter of rail-road crossings. Is tho city council wait-ing for a wholosalo inassacro before compelling tho railroads to tako the 'jnost ordinary precautious against the sacrilico of human lifer FrnncU lu Food Products. A committee appointed by the state of New Jersey some time ago to inquire into the alleged adulteration of food analyzed (E3 articles offered for sale and found only 320 of this number to be pure. The "canned goods" p;issed the test nil right. Of the others, however, AO per ceut. were adulter ated. The butter sold as butter was but-ter, but the oleomargarine in several cases proved tti be not good oleomargarine, but bad butter. Of twenty-fou-r samples of aoffee uualyzed only eight passed inspee-tlo-but the greatest frauds were found to have been perpetrated in tho manufacture of so called "ground spices." The pepper was made of charred buckwheat hulls and :ocoanut shells, with an addition of ; tho ginger of corn meal, turmerio and cayenne, and the mustard of corn meal, a little real ginger, turmerio and cayenne. The lemons were artificially colored. They had been picked green and subjected to a sulphur bath to yellow the skins. The "Mood oranges" had been syringed with aniline dye in order to give the pulp the requisite sanguino hue. It is gratifying to learn in connection with the orange fraud that its inventor, an Italian, underwent ten years' penal servitude for his commer-cial trick, but the swindle for which pri-marily he is responsible still exists. The History of Pepper. Tho value of pepper iu cooking seems to have been known long ago. Its use as a medicine was common in the days of Hippocrates, who applied it, moist-ened with alcohol, to the skin of his pa-tients. Ju.it as sugar and tea have been in past times so dear as only to be within the reach of the wealthy, so popper was in the Middlo Ages a very costly condi-ment. So much was it valued that a small packet was at that time deemed a suitable present to offer a great person. Common or black popper is now grown in many tropical countries, It is a climbing plant somo twelve feet high, bearing fruit of n bright red color the size of a pea, which, when dried, turns black. Exchango. The delegates of tho Amorican asso-ciation of passenger and tic kot agents will be the next to visit Salt Lake. This city is fast becoming the Mecca of the tourist aud sight-see- r. Tho more of them the morrier. Thoy will go out to sing our praises iu every direction. It is remarkable how instantaneously death results from electricity when it is least desired, and how unsatisfactory tho result is when applied with scientific cunning. Death by electricity from overhead wires seems to be tho most natural as well as the most common thing in the world. Quurr Patents. A luminous harness has been patented so that a hei being driven at night looks like a sheet of chain lightning, and you think Elijahs chariot has come to earth again. There are luminous match boxes and luminous ghosts to scare away grave robbers. After every noted grave robbery metallic coffins come in by the scores, r.nd I looked at ono coffin sur-rounded by bars of wrought iron, bind-ing the casket and extending out from it at such a distance that when set in the earth it would bo impossible to move it except by a derrick. Frank G. Car-penter's Letter. An Actor's Vengeance. "Hold up your hancsl Which is the man that dishonored my wife?" With these words Charles Crumley, an Kctor, also known as Charles Webster, dashed toward a group of three men stand-ing in front of his house ou West Twenty-thir-street, in New York city He singled out Robert McNeill, there was a struggle, the report of a pistol, and McNeill fell dead In the gutter. An ambulance bore the body away nnd a policeman took Crum-ley to jail. The murderer, according to his own tory, had learned of au intimacy between MIL AND MHS. CRUMLEY, his wife and his victim which demanded relentless punishment, and he wreaked his venReance at the lirst opportunity. Crum ley belonged to a "road company," had steady engagements and is worth in ready sash at least $10,000. Tha woman over-who- the trouble originated became his wife fifteen years ago. She did not accom pany him during his tours about the couu try, but remained in New York or at some near by town. Mrs. Crumley Is about 40 years of ago, while Robert McNeill was out 83, Now that the city council has ap-pointed the board of medical exam-iners under the now ordinance, wo are satisfied the quacks will go. Somo of them will doubtless stand ' upon the order of their going, but the edict is ir-revocable, This climate is too healthy for unnecessary funerals. Colorado must have a surplus of watermelons, or else Farmer Swink of Kocky Ford is an exceptionally liberal granger. Nearly every week an excur-io- n from some locality in the Centen-nial state makes free inroads upon tho old man's patch, and yet the supply does not seem to be exhausted. The third reciprocity speech of the series dolivered by Mr. Blaine at the Hoot and Shoe club in Hostou yesterday was the most lucid argument wo have yet read in favor of that subject. As might be expected of a mau of Iiluino's intolloct, ho is thoroughly couversant with every phase aud detail of the question, and it is difficult to resist his conclusions or answer his logic. Mr. Blaine says in effect the east lias pro-tection, let the west have reciprocity. Quoting his own language: Certain wise men have asked: "How can we sell farm proiluo;s in South America, when tlm san e tilings are produced tlioroS" Cereals are undoubtedly grown in South America, a portion ot South America, but wise meu will remember that cereals ud sugar do not grow on the same soli, and the countries of South nnd Central America aud tho West Iudles contain forty millions of who Import the larnfest portion of their breariatuffs. Indeed, tho largest portion of the sugar product of Latin-Americ- a is at our doors, aud we can greatly enlarge our ex-changes there if congress will give us an op-portunity for reciprocal trade. Judging from tho interviews hereto-fore published in The Times, it sooms that Mr. Blaine's new departuro is cor-dially accepted by the majority of con-gressmen, and we believo it is destined to relieve tho trade of the United States of its periodical stagnation. That it does not conilict with our principles of protection is best expressed in the sec-retary's own words: "Finally, there is one fact that should have great weight, especially with the protection-ists. Every free-trad- in the senate votod against reciprocity. The free trade papers throughout the country are showing deter-mined hostility to it." A Great Scheme. Villager Ah, Congressman Bank very glad I met you. I want you to in-troduce a bill compelling all brass bands to join the militia, and in caso of war march to the front. Congressman Urn!

Tho shipments of ore keep on growing, and between times a sensational occur-rence varies the monotony of the camp. Withal Fark City is one of tho best mining places in the country, both as regards her resources and her peoplo. Accokding to a cablegram the work of blowing up the iron gate of tho Danube, on the Austro-Servia-frontier, was begun yesterday. It is one of the most stupendous engineering enterprises ever undertaken, and if uccessfully carried out will remove a natural barrier to shippiug on that great river. Although the dispatch ays that political reasons prevented the earlier execution of the scheme, tho fact is that Ihe low finances of tho em-pire operated as the most potent obsta- - ale in the way. It is a source of pride for Americans to learn that an Ameri-Ba- n engineer is the projector of the gigantic work. A Proper ReTenso.
