Typewriting In Washington-U- p in our department there is a lady the daughter of a distinguished general, now dead-w- ho does a good deal of writ-ing for the cheaper class of magazines, and always has her manuscripts copied by one of the. typewriters in the depart-ment. One dav she took the manuscript of a short article, written for a .well known woman's niagaine, to a young lady who had recently been appointed as copyist in the department to have it transcribed. The young woman, it seems, had had some dealings with magazines herself, and not being troubled with conscientious scruples, she made two copies of the article, mailed 'one to a periodical to which she had before sold some matter, and under some pretext delayed delivering- -the other on'e to its author for some time. The article was promptly accepted ana a check for it sent to the typewriter. Then the author of the article mailed it to the magazine for which she intended it, and a few days later there was an ex-plosion. It seems that the typewriter, as such would have it, had mailed tho stolen matter to the very same editor that its rightful owner had intended it for. The offer of a copy of manuscript which he had already accepted or paid for actually caused the editor to insti-tute an inquiry, which in a very short time led to an exposure of the fair type-writer's duplicity. She and the author had an awful row. But the latter couldn't very well lay the matter before the chief and ask for the girl's dismissal, for of course she had no rignt to nave the matter copied in the office, and didn't care about having the fact that she had exposed. She will, however, have her manuscript copied elsewhere In future. Washington Critic. ' PERSONAL. Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Jennings arrived home from California yesterday. The family of Rev.

It is to Be Preserved in a Building that Will be an Ornament to the City. . INTELLECTUAL PALAOE IN VIEW, Library, Beading Boom and Gymnasium to be Provided for in the New Structure,' A week or so ago The Times printed a description of the Dcseret museum which attracted a good, deal of atten-tion from all classes, and was the means of bringing to the institution many visitors who were strangers in the city; and these visits still continue. Another effect of the article named was to stim-ulate into action those who for years have been considering the question of whether to discontinue the museum, or to sell the ground upon which it stands and with the proceeds build a lasting abode for the relics and curiosities worthy of the city and the object. 'Xast Thursday the--, project of pre-serving the museum in a. suitable- struc-ture was decided upon, and the matter took shape in the termination to erect a magnificent block at the southwest cor-ner of Main and South Temple streets. The work is under the directions of the Salt Lake Scientific and Literary as-sociation, and active operations have already begun. Mr. Don Carlos Young, an architect of prominence and ability, has been instructed to prepare plans and specifications as soon as possible, and when these are completed no time will bo lost in construction. Tho history of tho lot on which will bo located the new Museum building is quite interesting. The property origin-ally belonged to Dr. Willard Richards, a gentleman closely associated with Joseph and Hyrum Smith, and who witnessed their death in Carthage jail while he was imprisoned with them. By Dr. Richards the ground was deeded iu 1850 to tho church as a sito for a council house, and for years it served this purpose. When tho council house was destroyed the lot again became vacant, aud has ever since remained so. About twelve years ago the church deeded the property to the Salt Lake Scientific and Literary association, and the question of what use it should bo devoted to has often been agitated but never decided upon until now, It is gratifying to know that tho museum is to be preserved and that tho city is to be enriched with a building worthy of its object. It is '.understood that the first floor of the new building will be given over to commercial pur-poses, while the entire upper portion will bo devoted to museum, a library, reading rooms, and a gymnasium; and it is expected that tho rentals accruing from the first story will be sufficient to maintain tho museum and its adjuncts. The land upou which tho old musouin now stands, together with the old adobe building and the vacant lpj; adjoining on tho west, have been purchased by Dr. Joseph S. Richards, and tho price paid is equivalent to $110,000 in cash. It is tho intention of Dr. Richards to de-molish both tho museum building and his own private residence on tho. east, and if ho can obtain the consent of the city council ho will open a street, sixty-si- x feet wide, through the block bounded by South Temple, Main, First South,; aud West Temple streets. ' For this purpose Dr. Richards will contribute freo his own property, on which now stands his res-idence. ,.. Mr. Don Carlos Young, who has charge of tho architectural work of the new museum building aud the specifi-cations, is tho architect of tho Zion's Savings bank building, and this is suf-- . ficieut guarantee that the proposed structure will be, iu every particular, as handsome as any in the city.

DICKENSONJS FIRM. The Union Paoifio Magnate Will Not De-part From the Position He Has Taken. CHANGE IN THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE Sioux City Changes New Postal 0ar3 Another Black Eye for Denver Notes, General Manager Dickenson of . the Union Pacific will reply to the conduct-ors' ultimatum in writing. He says there is no excuse for another week of verbal arguments. "I know where they stand," says Mr. Dickenson. "They know where I stand. Because Mr. Resseguio saw fit to grant his men everything they wanted is no reason why I should do tho same thing. There is a vast differ-ence between the physical conditions of his division and mine. Train crews out there ought' to receive more pay than on tho Missoifri river division. My '" fellows would not exchange places with them for considerably more pay. Judging from the report of an interview with one of them' they think I am not in-clined to treat them fairly. Their main object is to get more pay. Well, I can't see wherein they arc entitled to it. If some higher authority wishes to increase our operating expenses 44 per cent, all right; I don't feel justified in doing it. "They want the schedule on branch lines revised raising conductors from $00 to $100 and brakemcn from $00 and $05 to $75. That I am very strongly opposed to. The Burlington, Missouri Pacific and Elkhorn pay their branch line men as low as $00 for conductors and $1! for brakemcn. On their main lines conductors get only $100 and mile-age is not taken Uto consideration. "In my opinion it was a mistake to uudertako a settlement of the difficulty in a general meeting. Four or five gen-eral managers and division superin-tendents arc just as liable to disagree as a like number of conductors. Ono man could have done tho business much easier. I believe, however, that we will get through with it all right and reach a satisfactory conclusion." Mr. Dickenson has always been re-garded by tho trainmen and other em-ployes as the best friend they had on tho system, and as he is a cool, long-headed man ho must bo justified in taking his present position. FLEECING A LAMB. The Innocent Loses a Half Hundred and Then Sets Up a Bleat. Nineteen gay and festive habitues of a gambling house, which is conducted in the rear of the Mirror saloon, were arrested last night on complaint of a drunken telegraph operator by the name of Junius Howell Bright. He claimed to have laid $59 at intervals on the green cloth, .and it disappeared. The gamblers, on the other hand, assort that Bright was drunk when he entered tho place and had $7. He won $50 from that amount but remained long enough to "drop" himself. Police court was in session between 11 and 12 o'clock last night to hear the case, and Bright, who is thought to be mentally weak, acted very queer. Ho wanted to compromise with the gamb-lers if they would refund the $50, but the prosecuting attorney and Judge Lancy said that the case would bo tried inasmuch as Bright had caused their arrest. The young man commenced to abuse tho prosecuting attorney and tho court was obliged to threaten him with imprisonment if ho could not behave himself. At midnight nothing definite had been arrived at, and Judge Lancy postponed further consideration of tho case until today. He remarked that in such cases it was generally much easier to secure tho attendance of tho gamblers than of tho alleged victims, and he therefore announced that he would require tho complainant to give bonds in tho sum of $250 and allow tho parties arrested to go upon their own recognizance, after exacting a pledge that each one would bo present at 2 o'clock. Shortly after tho arrest the proprie-tors of tho saloon, Jamos Flood and ,kAmos Moser, appeared and gave tho following names of tho arrested par-ties: Henry Moore, Albert Stranger, John Allen, John Foote, Edgar Foote, Edgar B. Johnson, James McDonald. James Jones, Alviu Davis, Leonard Smith, James Madsen, Petor Larson, Goo. Piper, Roo Frazior, John- Clark, John W. Mackey, Joseph Henderson, Thomas A. During and Louis P. Brown. LECTURES TOR MEN. To be Delivered at the Salt Lake Theatre Next Week. Monday night, Dr. J. C. Harrison, who has recently attracted so much at-tention in Denver and the eastern cit-ies, will lecture at the Salt Lake thea-ter to men only. Few men who have have devoted a life to specialties have gained such wide celebrity as he. He recently completed a tour of the world in company with Mrs. Dr. Longshore-Potts- , and has lectured wherever the English language is spoken. Several years have been spent in the hospitals of London, Paris and Vienna, where ho attained great distinction as a lecturer, rnd marked recognition for his treat-ment of obscure diseases. Ho renders his discourses doubly interesting and intelligible by disolvingviows projected upon a mammoth cauvas by a large stereoptican. Speaking of his appear-ance in Chicago, recently the Tribune says: "His stylo is easy and graceful, his speech lucid, unembarrassed and fluent." Hu Meeting. Everybody interested in the general welfare aud advancement of Salt Lake City and Utali is cordially invited to attend a citizen's general mass meeting to be held under tho auspices of the Salt Lake chamber of commerce at 8 o'clock' on Mouday evening, May 5, 1800, in the federal court room.

A block of iron casting, weighing over one hundred and fifty pounds, was blown into the second story of the Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern Railway build-ing, near Union depot. Nobody knows where it came from, aud the nearest building frosa which it could have come is nearly one hundred yards away. Great sheets of tin roofing were dropped ipon Dr. Barry's farm, near Turner's station, forty miles from the city, on the Short line. In the ruins of a house on West Main street a large office clock was found clinging to the wall, but no one knows where it came from. It was badly broken, but the bands still pointed to B:20 p. m. A large slabf marble found in a resi-dence on West Madison street was never there before. It will weigh over 100 pounds. At Baird's drug store, on Mar-ket above Ninth street, two bird cages with the birds were blown in through the skylight. The cages were not in-jured, and the birds are as full of song as ever. ' When the building occupied by Brand & Bethel, the tobacco men, on Greer street, went to pieces, a portion of the framework dropped through the roof of a little cottage just east of the factory. It consisted of a heavy timber, to which were mortised four upright pieces of timber. When this came through the cottage the family were sitting around the table in the dining room, and the four uprights sircply penned them in, but did not hurt them in the least-Louis- ville Dispatch.

Mr. Hancock of the Union Faclllo Receives a Promotion, Yesterday ono of the most radical changes whiuh has taken place in the management of the Union Pacific iu several years was mado in tho freight auditor's department. . At tho head of tho latter for some years has been Mr. Andrew S. Van Kuran, who also enjoyed the titlo of freight claim agent of the road. For somo time past it has been understood that the management contemplated di-viding this responsibility aud erecting tho latter feature into a department with a titled hoad, who should rank tho principal of any of tho departments of tho road and report only to Mr. Mollon. This change was made. William II. Hancock, who has been assistant freight claim agent was promoted to tho posi-tion of general freight claim agent with supervision also of the loss aud damago department of tho work. His jurisdic tion will extend over all the road, in-cluding tho offices at Kansas City, St. Joe and Portland. Tho change will re-move sixty men from charge of Mr. Van Kuran, thirty-liv- o of whom are in tho Omaha office. Mr. Hancock has been in Omaha several yoars anil when ho returns from tho cast, where it is thought he is conferring with Mr. Mellcu, ho will be hailed with his new title. HE WANTS BIG DAMAGES. A Laborer Sue a Realty Man on Account of a Neighborhood Row. Yestorilay afternoon in tho district court a $10,000 damago suit, entitled Riley vs. St. George, was put on trial boforo Judgo Zauo and a jury, Riley wants that amount of money for per-sonal injurios sustained by the defend-ant striking him iu the faeo with a stone. ... St. George is a realty broker, while Riley is a laborer. They aro neighbors but neither "loves thy neighbor as thy self," nor do their wives borrow Jcoru-mca- l from each' other. Consequently they are not very good friends, aud tho reason that they don't speak over the back-yar- d fence is that they had a neighborhood tight ono bright af-ternoon last summer. Riley and a friend named Lyons, aud a couple of ladies wero enjoying them-selves on the day in question in Riley's front yard. St. George was in the next yard and or. his own premises. Ho took objections to the noise mado by Riley and his friends aud demanded that thoy keep quiet. But the real es-tate agent's friends didn't soo it iu that way and continued their fun. which so exasperated St. George that he became abusive, it is alleged, aud used a vile epithet in otlio way of Domphasis. Words followed, and St. George who was thoroughly angry, dived under the fence aud securing a stone, threw at Riley, striking him in the face, causing injuries from which Jio claims he is a constant sufferer. - The case will probably go to the jury this afternooon. Old Time English Women Rider. As the fox gave up his life at the wor-rying of the hounds, the one to be "in at the death" and claim the brush was as likely to be her grace the duchess, astride a fleet palfrey, as his grace the duke mounted on a trusty but slow foot-ed war horse. Gorgeous in all the costly finery of the Fourteenth century the high born and gentle dames, with squire and knight at side and sturdy troopers to "safely guard and surely keep" them from all harm, would leave their frown-ing castle homes and journey over moor-lau- d and through the shades of mighty forests, where the outlaw lurked, to the distant courts at London or at Holyrood, or to the nearer pleasures rf the tourney in his gracious majesty's v4U0dand loyal city of York. They lived in an ago of strife and danger. Like blieir fathers, brothers, husbands and sweethearts, they possessed courage, strength and resource, which in. nowise detracted from their beauty or their womanliness. The saddle of Galahad was equally suitable for Guinevere, and at the first alarm the lady, fair could press her ktieer igainst the good steed's sides and dig her dainty spur shod heels into his flanks, prepara-tory to flight or charge, with a faciliij equal to that of the gallant gentlemen of her escort.

Mr. Cassiday will accept a position with the Union Pacific when ho returns. He is ono of tho best freight men iu the country and has been connected with. tho Northwestern sys-tem for a long time. , Iticycles on the Sidewalks. To the Editor op The Times : Re-ferring to your editorial on tho 20th regarding bicycle riding on the side-walks, I consider a few remarks in order. It has been the aim of both of our local clubs to avoid using the side-walks anywhere except where there is but little travel, and resolutions to that effect have been endorsed by both clubs and presented to tho council. I think I am perfectly safe in saying that no member of the club ever, uses the crowded sidewalks, as is understood among us that such is to be avoided. No wheelman who understands his business would make such a blunder as did the one you mention. Ho would havo sense' enough to dismount and load his wheel and thus be sure of caus-ing no accident. It is only: someone who knows nothing about a wheel that attempts to bo smart and rides over people. In conclusion I wish to say that outside of tho business portion of our city, it is only proper that wheel-men should enjoy tho privilege of the sidewalks as long as they exercise proper discretion. The soil of Utah is peculiarly soft and unfit for wheeling and should bicycling on tho sidewalks be entirely prohibited, every wheel in Salt Lako City will be for sale, and our city will have itself to thank for an-other step backward in its progress. Hakky R. Browne, Secretary Social Wheel Club. The Cost of Tleing Shoestrings. ' One of the manag ers of a big eastern knitting mill has made a calculation that the shoestrings of a working girl will oome untied on the average three times per diem, and that a girl will lose about 50 seconds every time she stoops to retie them. Most of the employes have two feet, so this entails a loss of 300 seconds every day for each girl. There are about 400 girls employed in this factory, and therefore the' gentleman finds that seconds aro wssted in the course of a year, which time, at the average rate of wages, is worth $943.17$. Orders have accordingly been issued that girls must wear only buttoned shoes or con-gress gaiters under penalty of discharge -- Detroit Tribune. Fantastic HandwriMng.
