Dr. Robert Coilycr Mays: "The finest quality of happiness that I have boon able to find in my rather long lifetime is leaning on a certain trust in God as tiiu guardian ami guide of my life and fortune, u disposition to be on the sunny nidi of the road which I have alw ays nurtured, and the feeling that when I had done my best, it ought to be at-tended with results, even if I had not quilo reached tlio mark." WHAT IS HAPl'lNliSH? This question will bo answered in as many different ways as there are per-sons to whom it is put. Tlio Mail and Express, of New York has sent an in-terrogation point personified to various noted men and women for their replies, and wo condenso them for tho readers of tho Times. Mrs. Frank Leslie says that the proud-est and happiest moment of her life was when she paid, through her own efforts, tho last dollar of indebtedness that hud broken the heart and crushed out tho life of her honored husband. Further, she says; "My ideal of happiness is far more like that of the rest of women. It is to meet ihe. 'Impossible he' who shall combine all that I look for in a man." Dr. Talmage could not for the life of him tell what was the happiest day of his career. Like summer time, hu-manity has its sunny anil cloudy days. It had been his good fortuuc to enjoy many of the former. " A good con-science, joined with good digestion and an effort to make others happy, seemed to be the conditions precedent; to per-sonal comfort. Dr. J. II. Mclllvaluc thought Ihe only true happiness on earth consists in a belief in God and iu an immortal life, and iu living here with wise reference to a future existence. Tho most miser-able people in the world are those- who, intent on personal gratification, are try-ing to make themselves happy. Colonel Joliu Arkins, the editor of the Rocky Mountain News, lays' stress upon a married life end family respon-sibilities as the foundation of true hap-piness. His happy moment came to him a Her hardships and a struggle. "It came to mo one day," ho says, "after years of work. I sat down iu a comfortable home, my family around me, and I realized that at last 1 was independent and could keep the wolf from the door. There was more substantial happiness iu that thought than in any sensation I had ever experienced. Happiness, true hap-piness, is not selfishness." Stephen A. Douglas, son of ihe de-ceased senator, agrees in the main with Editor Arkins, for he says: "My idea of happiness would bo a wife, child and a home, possibly because I havo none of thorn." . - Evangelist Moody, --when asked what had been tho happiest day of his life, j SALT LAKE EYENING TIMES.

Aimed chBroa Vv Keep your eye on Tim Ti.mks. You will see something new every day. Cannon und other big guns advise tho church at the conference, which opens to promulgate decree abandoning polygamy us one of its car-dinal doctrines and declaring its loy-alty to "the Star Spangled Hanuer and its intention of not meddling in politics, if the Mormons shall iff! this, and we shall nol now be surprised if they do, their chureluind their religion will have no serious objectionable features. That this programme is likely to be carried out we have reasonable grounds of belief. "A great many Mor-mons seeing what Hie inllux of progres-sive (ientiles has already done for Salt Lake and Utah, are now anxious to join, hands with the new element and assist in the development of this cily and ter-ritory. They, however, fear lbe male-diction of the more bigoted leaders of tlio church, and hence are hesitating. The "liberal" men among the Mormons are desirous that Utah shall become a stale, and hope the day is not far dis-tant when nil discordant elements will be united with that one object in view. Statehood and till its benefits will surely come when the federal government is conviuced that the Mormon church is a s and a loyal and institution. The Mormon church will be obliged eventually to ail in accord with popular sentiment regarding these matters; otherwise it is bound to be crushed out of existence. The shrewd leaders of (he church are beginning to realize this. They are conviuced that they must oliey tho laws, or emigrate to Jeru-salem, as was recently hinted at in a Tuberimrle nieetilirr. AN INDICATION OK' MOKlfON KKFOKM. . The News of last evening published an interesting article from the (luelph (Ontario) Herald concerning Mormons in Canada. Lieutenant-Governo- r Royal recently visited the Mormon settlement at Lee's Creole, Alberta,where he found a village of ubout forty houses and three hundred inhabitants. The lieutena-nt- governor, iu his address to these people, said that they were welcome, but that they must come to a determi-nation to obey all tho laws. Howasiu-- ! formed that each man had but oue fam-- . ily, and that they were not polygamists. These Mormons arc evidently good Mormons, and they have set an exam-ple, worthy of imitation by obstinate polygamists in Utah. They aro also evi-dently loyal to tlio Canadian govern-ment, under which they havoi sought a new home and protection. Now let those of the Utah Mormons, who are inclined to disloyally, follow the exam-ple of their Canadian brethren iu this respect also. We are glad to sen the Deseret News, which is the organ of the Mormon church, hold up to tho view of the Utah brethren the praise-worthy conduct of tlio Mormons of Canada. We consider it rather sig-nificant, in view of the fact that the News has done this just previous to the annual conference of the Mormon church of Utah. We arc glad to see that the News is tit last gently wheel-ing into line with the ideas of the American people. This gentle weakening on the part of the part of t he News is an Indication that tho Mormon church intends to come down from ils roost and become a civilized re-ligious organization. We shall uot be urpribed to hear Mr. George Q. T!ta Two Climates of California. There have been forty miles of enow-she-on tho line of the Central Pacific railroad in the high Sierra these many years. At this altitude, or at the height equal to the summit of Mount Washing-ton, in New Hampshire, tho snow in such exceptionable winters as this is de-cidedly troublesome, to tho railroad peo-ple. From the vicinity of Mount Shasta north for nearly a hundred miles, tlio Know falls every winter. Oneo in twenty years the snow at the highest altitude falls on the mountains to such a depth as is found there this winter. California has both a winter and a spring climate at the same time. While the mountains havo been literafly buried in the snow and railway trains have had a bard time in getting through the drifts, and many cattle have perished in altitudes where in ordinary winters they find open pas-tures, especially in the valleys, among the mountains, it has actually been spring for 700 miles along tlio coast, and inland until an altitude exceeding 1,600 feet has been reached, for tlio last three months, or since the early rain's began. The grass in many places is a foot high. Famished cattle' have been sent down from the ranges in the mountains to feed in the' most luxuriant pastures. Citrus fruit3 havo ripened, not a fcv.' specimens here and there, but train loads are now going forward to eastern markets. They are hawked by tho wagon load on the streets of this city, as large and fair as ever gladdened the eyes of dwellers in hyperborean regions. All this time mill-ions of ro3es have been in bloom in open gardens, and only an occasional white frost lias been seen. The citrus belt is here, and the snow is there, There is a perfect harmony between the two. San Francisco Bulletin. : Although Ceorgo W. Peck, of Mil-waukee, is a bad humorist, he may make a good mayor. Cheyenne is reaping a harvest from Denver excursions. Salt .Lake tdiould lose no time in following suit. The czar is a very sick man, and the nihilists are feeling belter. They are ehedding no tears for the tyrant. No weather report was furnished by the Bell Telephone company to the signal service. The weather goes m just the same. HJg.MAKCK'S KL'CCGSSOIt, General Caprivi. the new chancellor of the (ierman empire, is iiS years of age. lie is the son of a Berlin lawyer and entered the Prussian military ser-vice in 1849 ns second lieutenant, was a captain in WW, a major in IPOO, in 170 was a lieutenant colonel and chief of stall' of the Tenth corps, general of staff in 1872, and major-genera- l in 1881. Ho became lieutenant-genera- l in command of a division in the Met. garrison in iHB'i. In .183 he was made chief of admiralty, displaying great ability in connection with that oflice and making many friends among the officials and resi-dents of Berlin. His full name is as lengthy as that of the greatest crowned head of Europe. There can be no question as to hisabilily and popularity. The (ierman people, while they ad-mired, 'almost venerated Bismarck's imperious will in connection with his foreign policy, disliked a display of tlie. same despotic quality in the administration of home affairs, so true it is of human nature, to e upon others, what we will not submit to, ourselves. Chancellor Cap-priv- i will find it difficult to ride two horses in different directions. Tlio dem-ocrat it; tendencies of the German peo-ple in connection with the internal af-fairs of the, empire, and their regard for military prestige and supremacy in for-eign affairs, will make the new chan-cellor's position an uncomfortable. if not a very difficult one. If the half of what has been testified to in the attempt to oust Mayor Lon-doner of Denver is true, there should be e thorough purging of the methods em-ployed in the municipal elections of that ' ' city. The Times believes that it is to Ihe Interest of tho people to have the city own Mich plants ns waterworks, gasworks, etc. If the waterworks ore properly conducted by the city, the consumers can be supplied with water at cost. This would not, of course, be, done if the waterworks were owned by private corporation. Notwithstanding the opposition which has been made by electricians nd others to capital punishment by electricity, the execution of Kcmiulcr, the Buffalo murderer, will lake place in the New York Klato prison at Au-burn on the 28th of this month. It will bo the first instance of judicial execu-tion by electricity in the United States, and the result will bo watcliod with in-tense interest both by the public und the scientific world. f , An Immaculate Gnll. The pardon issued to Albert S. Cronk, a Chicago lawyer who was convjeted of tho crime of perjury in 1883 and sen-tenced to the Joliet prison for one year, took effect today. Cronk has never been confined in the penitentiary, but ever since his conviction has been allowed to remain in tlio Chicago jail. ' As tho pardon was directed to the warden of the prison, it became neces-sary for tho prisoner to be at least brought to tbe prison before ha could bo. legally discharged from custody. Sheriff Matson, of Cook county, brought Cronk to Joliet today, having the pardon in his pocket. The prisoner wa3 turned over to the warden, who gave the sheriff his receipt. The sheriff then handed the warden the pardon and the formality of discharging Cronk from tho prison was gone through with, and, although Cronk had never served a minute's time, ho at "once asked for h3 discharge money from the state, $10 and transportation, the sum paid to all diacharged convicts. This exhibition of gall was a paralyzer to the prison warden, and when tho finally mado a demand for a suit of citizen's clothing, such as is given to the discharged convicts, it caused Sherili Matson to re-tire in disgust.' Cronk was' paid the $10 and given a ticket to Chicago, but he did not gut the clothes. Tho fact of Cronk's having to sign the prison vouchers for his discharge money places him on the prison records as hav-ing been a convict, as bo had to bo given a number und entered on the convict register. The Cupidity of the fellow caused this, mid now No. 82, Albert S. Cronk, is an Joliet Special to Chicago News, FOB EASTKK.'

THE "OI.U HK.M.i BLK"'lHTKICT. At last (he nttention nf capitalists from abroad appears- to be attracted to one of the. suburban mining districts of Salt Lake City. Fortunes have been extracted from Bingham, or West Mountain district. Except in rare in-stances such fortunes have resulted from hard, plodding labor on tho part of working prospectors, who, with lim-ited capital and uuder great difliuitlties, have opened lip mineral treasures for other men of less enterprise and larger bank accounts to draw upon. In Tuesday's Times a reported inter-view with Mr. Fowler, an agent of for-eign capitalists, gives assurance of a large investment in the old Stewart No. 1 mines and mills in Bingham. Fifteen or eighteen years ago, (he con-solidated Stewart mining property was covered with prospectors' dumps, so that the sloping hill on its surface re-sembled a prairio dog city. Mineral, lixed or float, varying in quality and quantity, was found all over the sur--, face. Soma men witli money became interested in the properly, and a con-solidation of adjoining claims was ef-fected and a good mill built. Lawsuits, witli accompanying ways that were dark and tricks that were vain, clouded the situation. At last all was quiet on tho Muddy, and Stewart No. 1 mill, under the folded wings of a close cor-poration, ran steadily with good results. For tho last two or three years tho noisy mill has ceased pounding out gold, and rumors of a negotiation for a salo at largo Ugh res, appear to have come to a head under tho engineering skill of Mr. Fowler, from whom the im-portant information in Tub Times of Tuesday was obtained. Tho gold belt of Bingham district, ou which Stuart mills Nos. 1 and 2 are lo-cated, will yet be heard from with good results. It is barely scratched at pres-ent. Tho average gold ore from pat-ented claims lying farther up the mountain than the Stewart property and on Carr Fork, shows richer results by fire assay. An-other consolidation of six or seven gold-bearin- g claims, with clear titles and at reasonable prices adjoining tho Stewart mines, is within the reach of canilal and enterprise. The possibilities of this great gold ami silver bearing district,' when properly .dovoloped, will undoubtedly in the im-mediate future astonish the men who have hitherto lot golden opportunities pass by unheeded. Mb. C. Sum Nichols is at present in Chicago. He appears to bo cutting a very wide swath in that cily. Ho Is mis-representing himself as editor of The Salt Lake Timks, and in the Chicago Tribune of last Tuodsay, April Fool's day, there appears an interview with this widely-know- n individual, concern-ing Utah affairs. The interview con-tains several misstatements, one of which is to tho effect that in two years the Liberal vote In this city has Increased only sixty-five- . Everybody here knows that it has been increased fully 11500. Tim 'Times respectfully turns Mr. C. ' Sum Nichols over to tho Salt Lako Trib- - ' une ior further consideration. AMUSEMENTS. AT THE GItAND OPERA. HOUSE The matinee yesterday afternoon was only fairly attended, and as usual the greater part of the audience was com-posed of ladies. The opera was Von Suppo's "Fatinilza," which has long been a great favorite with lovers of mu-sic. Jessio. Bartlott Davis was very bright and dressed the part to perfec-tion. Her splendid contralto voice rang out in tones that almost drowned tho accompaniment, and her acting was that of a finished artiste. Mr. Ilolf and Mr. Barnabeo were very effective, espe-cially the former, who complied with tho demand of tho audience for a couple of encores. The other parts were fairly filled, and tho movement of the opera was smooth. In the evening "Don Quixote" was given for the first time to a Salt Lake audience, and Hie house was filled with one of the most fashionable and critical audiences of the season of the "Boston-ians.- " Cervantes' text is not strictly followed in tho libretto, but DcKoven's music covers all deficiencies by ils sweetness and lino arrangement. 'Two new faces appeared for recognition in the persons ot Flora Finlaysou ami Car-lott- a Maconda, and they acquitted themselves with much credit to them-selves and satisfaction to the listeners. Juliett Cordon sang splendidly and re-ceived numerous recalls. Barnabeo as the don and Frothingham as the squire, wcro very comical; and Cowlcs brought dow n the houso by his singing of the "(ialley. Slave," wnich he was obliged to repeat. Tho other characters were well sustained, and the opera niny bo said to have jumped at oneo to the po-sition of a favorite. Verdi's "Trovatore" will lie given this evening with Tom Karl an "Man-rico,- " Cowlcs as "Fcrnndo," Mario Stone as "Leonora" and Jessie Barllelt Davis us "Ay.uceua." The celebrated lower scence will of itself be worth the price of admission. AT THE SALT LAKE T11EATEK. The upper portions of this theater were jammed last night to witness "The (treat Metropolis." and tho gods cer-tainly enjoyed themselves, if their pleasure bo measured by the applause they gave the piece not tho actors. There is nothing elevating in the play beyond t he scenery, whieli is very good. "'Ihe Great Metropolis" will 'be ou agaiu this evening. The Times today publishes an inter-- 1 view with Mr. Witcher Jones, the gen-tleman who desires to purchase the Salt Lake waterworks. It will prove inter-esting reading to our citizens. Mr. Jones shows that the waterworks are inadequato for the supply of water und aro in a poor condition generally, Mr. Jones, therefore, con-cludes that tho works ought to be sold ito private parties who would put them In good shape, and make them first class in every respoot. 'Van Times, howover, .(knows of no good roason why this cau-'cotb- e dono by the city aswoll as by a private corporation. Mr. Jones's inves-tigation of the waterworks may stir up Hie city to the necessity of making the rtBuoh needed improvements at an early A Unique DoU Show. A doll show on a gigantio and some-what original plan, which has been or-ganized in 'aid of tho new hospital for women in Euston road, will be opened on April 20, The different sections allow of great variety in doll dressing. Ladies In the dress of the period morning, even-ing, bridal or court; gentleman dolls ditto, little girl dolls, and the babes in long and semi-lon- g clothes, dolls in the garb of professors, priests, official robes, instate, parliamentary, civic and legal, academic, scholastic, masonic,, dolls in naval, mili-tary, postal or police uniform, dolls in costumes of the pantomime, sirens of the ballet, dolls in working dress of all kinds. artisan, domestio service t r trade, are to be included in the various classes. A special section will bo formed by dolls, ladies and gentlemen, in sporting dress, hunting, shooting, fishing, golf, tennis and boating garb. Others again will represent heroes, heroines of history, fic-tion, the drama, a special class being as-signed to characters of nursery romance. For "celebrities of today" a double price is offered, and a section of dolls in gro-tesque, suggestive or emblematic dress of any kind, offers a wide field to tho fanci-ful. A special nurses' section will com-prise dolls dressed as patients and nurses, and others are exclusively limited to chil-dren and pupils of board, charity and in-dustrial schools. For the best doll of all a prize of five guineas is offered. Pall Mall Budget. '' Crnr Attohnby Meiikitt is to be con-gratulated upon his knocking out the proposed executive session of tho city council on last Tuesday evening. Tho days of subterranean, dark-lanter- n scs tsions of publio servants should como to en end. If anywhere, secret sessions of tho senate of the United Slates are ex-cusable. Efforts, however, aro being inade to abolish thoin and throw open to the public gaze the action and doings of tho highest legislative assembly of 'the nation. .If the regular sessions of .lnuuicipal legislators iu New York city and other places, had been open to the .press and the public, many a successful scheme of corruption und robbery Would hate been impossible. ', Safety Indoors. The extremes in interior decoration make the modem home a shining mark for the fire fiend, and not least of these defects is the crazo for throwing the house into one vast apartment. Huge archways and spacious doorways heavily hung with draperies are attractive and contribute to the comforts of a home, but they aro certainly dangerous. The old fashioned door may not look so well, but had tho residence of Secretary Tracy been more liberally supplied in this re-spect it is not at all improbable that the fire would have been confined to the room in which it originated until the in-mates wore warned of the impending danger. As it was, these large openings acted as would a vast flue, and the flames spread throughout the entire house like a flash. Washington Post. DON'T BLAME THE WORLD.
