plate to THE HERALDS suit account when the Tnl expense magnate went to Garfield Beach the i scribe immediately experienced an irresistible I ir-resistible longing for a sniff of suit reiistble air and gratified that longing When the millionaire hired a carriage to canvass the heavy shippers the minion of the press followed in his wake Everywhere ho shadowed him except In his room at night Finally Genera Manager S H H Clark offered to bribo the reporter with a champagne cham-pagne supper i ho would desist hut the l average HERALD reporter when bent on a news errand is not in a desisting mood nnd ho declined but the champagne supper sup-per is coming lust tho same and it is coming com-ing too uy the order of Jay I Gould himself To Mr D Adams pf tie Union Pacific was assigned the pleasant task of preparing an elaborate banquet for the reporters re-porters of the Salt Lako press and i will be tendered them at the Templeton hotel on Sunday next The gentlemen will all be there and no brighter company ever surrounded sur-rounded a festive board Keen quick and intelligent by nature as they must be their intelJent daily contact with all tho phases of life ripena their judgment and makes them what they really arc the peers of the best and tho mainstay of a great papor t t t The ladles window which Postmaster Bonton has improvised in the postofflco will prove a greai convenience and accommodation accom-modation to those of the gentle sex who do Jot care to jostle against I crowd of men or Bland in line with thorn awaiting their t turn But oa for Miss Jennio Hawley the pretty and accomplished olork at the now window we imagine she wont like it there very long By and by she will ask Mr Benton to transfer her to the stamp window or to the mens window for evon the latter IB preferrablo to the ladies window and i tho postmaster has learned wisdom ron experience he will comply K without inquiring into the why and wherefore where-fore of the request No woman ever pre tided with any dsgree of satisfaction or comfort to herself ut a ladioa wiadow in any large postoffice and we imagine Salt Lake la no exception to tho rule The fact IB hat too many of the patrons pat-rons of tho ladies window are not ladies nt all They comprise to a largo extent that class of the female population which calf habitation too often to have tho mail delivered at fixed addresses That of r course implies no disrespect for those who for manifold reasons must got their letters in the general delivery But taking it altogether alto-gether the place at the ladles window is bottor sitive woman suited for a horrid man than a sen ftt Aside from his politics Postmaster Benton Ben-ton is 1 good man officially Although the salary of a postmaster is gauged by the increase of his office Mr Benton has nevertheless reduced of his own freo will wil the rontal of the boxes from 150 to 50 conts I quarter King Louis XII of France wanted every Frenchman to have his chicken in the pot of Sundays Mr Benton evidently wants every Salt Laker to have his postofflce box every day in his life He ID almost fit to bo a Democrat tit There la 1 count in town and the count was in tho theatre on Friday night He was in full dress as becomes your genuine counts and he carried with Him a pair of field glasses which a sea captain might have envied him Through these he peered at the ladies with an impudent persistency per-sistency that made Rome of them nervous Perhaps they did not know he was a count or they might have endured the ordeal more indifferently for a count who puts himself on dress parade in this country is generally no count and this particular count has besides a shady history which the San Francisco Clnonidc took pains to expose in true plebeian style But if we ever had any doubt as to the claim of the count to his title his conduct in the the atro would have dispelled it The impudence is genuine and all real counts possess It We have seen them exercise it in the theatres thea-tres of Europe ttf But why should a common count creat ED much excitement herd The country is f l of organ grinders barbers and such of blue blood and I there are not a great geat many more of them it is simply because the broken down aristocrats of the old World steerage find ticket it difficult to raise the price of a ttt Of course there are exceptions to this rule Wo have seen counts who wore noble in character aa well as in pedigree and In every respect quite equal to the American sovereign But then they didnt travel through the country on their title and cheek and other I tte otherpcotles money I 1ft Mr Goodwin is a dollar and a half show in himself When I saw this paragraph para-graph in Tan HERALDS theatrical notice yesterday I thought i must have got switched out of its place that it belonged I by rights in the notice of Judge Goodwins I lecture The judge is not only a dollar and n half hut a holy show In his statement I I that Mormons would vote for Mormons in I a state election irrespective of Democracy I or Republicanism he flies directly in the face of some local history of such recent I I date that one would hardly know what to I make of it if one didnt know the judge was merely quoting from his own editorials i edito-rials I would like to ask him is ho has forgotten that a Mormon apostle Mr Lund was defeated for the legislature by I lay member That Mr Eldredge a high church official received fewer votes in his own home than the Democratic nominee a man not at all prominent as a church member mem-ber and that Mormon Democrats voted ooliiiiy for Gentile Democrats against Mormon Mor-mon Republicans Go to judge Go t itt Heretofore ITat Goodwin the actor enjoyed en-joyed the enviable reputation of being ono of tho best representatives of clean com edyjHo has forfeited that reputation now The Nominee which he played here this week f i an outrage upon decency I Is one of the nastiest pieces in its construction that was ever put upon tho hoards In these fast times when anything that is i uproarious passes s under the name of legitimate legit-imate because people like to be entertained for the moment and to do that they cannot afford to be overcritical these days con tiderable license and latitude is lcenle lattudu given to notions but it hasnt yet come to this that immoral and disgusting sentiments can b 0 interwoven comedy in Z play and palmed off as itt Some of the churches rail against the theatre on general principles Different from the example the Lord set them in Sodom and Gomorrah they want to extinguish extin-guish the good with the evil but a few more such pieces as Goodwins Nominee will and the be legion number of COverts t their notion itt Somebody left THE HERALD a clipping from some eastern paper concerning Baby 4 Cleveland Among other things we learn therefrom that oddly enough she is not a dimpled baby nobody could call her rob poly and she hasnt even the suggestion of a magic bracelet or necklace An authority on babies would take hereto be a boy She is strong and muscular has a large frame superb respiration good appetite perfect digestion and the promise of developing into a large woman Although
