EWKG, Proprietor. j scnooigm oi seventeen, one usuany dressed in dark colors; short skirts up to tho tops of her shoes; her lovely nut brown hair falling down her back in a thick braid. She was always bright, amiable, friendly. She was blest with high spirits, but never crossed the bound-ary line of refinement and good breed-ing. 8ho was a hard student, and gave many hours to the study of music and dancing, giving careful attention to every branch of her art. She learned her parts rapidfy, aud was rarely idle, doing plain sewing or fancy work when nothing more urgent engaged her time. While I knew Minnie Palmer she filled various roles Dorothy, a leading part in "Engaged," supporting Agnes Booth; the principal part in "Baba," in Balti-more, Philadelphia and elsewhere, and afterwards the charming creation in "My Sweetheart," which has added so much to ner popularity, hiie enjoyed ner titage triumphs and successes, and loved her profession, but was exceedingly in-different to the personal admiration and attentions of men. They annoyed her no littlo by their impertinent and t efforts to meet her, and she not only snubbed them right and left, but whenever possible brought them to open ridicule. I remember her telling mo witli great glee of how she once silenced a young aspirant. She was acting in some opera bouffo with Fortescue. One young man In the audience tried night after night, by notes, gifts and every known means, to gain her favor and acquaintance. Finally he sent, in a note, three violets, begging her to wear them on her left breast if she would meet him after the performance. Fortescue, as was usual in these burlesques, took the part cf a woman, and to him Minnie gave the vio-lets, lie pinned them on his ample bo-som, and when he appeared in front found occasion to say: "I will meet you; oh! I will meet you." It is useless to state that there was one crestfallen young swain in tho audience that even-ing, and that, as his friends soon learned of it and nicknamed him "tho three violets," it was some time before he tried bis fascinations upon another actress. Tho last time I saw Minnie Palmer, in public and in ' private, was during her tour through tho south just before she went to Australia.' She was performing in. "My Sweethert," supported by Gra-ham. Since then she has made her trips to England, Scotland and Ireland, where her successes, both social and artistic, havo been pronounced. She has merited all her triumphs, for she is gifted, con-scientious in her art aud in character a sweet woman, devoid of professional jealousy, high toned and generous. I am sure, too, that amid all tho enticements of the stage she has kept "herself un-spotted from the world," and tho heart f her hazard may securely trust in her, Mw, R. -- oLguiTT. LITTLE MINNIE PALMER. Mrs. Mol K. Colquitt Write of Hr Knowl-!- k or Tlii Artiste. Special Correspondence Chattanooga, April 10. I lived for two or three years in the same hotel with Minnie Palmer and was intimately ac-quainted with the winsome little woman, When I first met her siie was playing' Dorothy, in "Daniel Druce," with Law-renc- e Barrett, and a sweeter personation was never seen than rosebud Minnio in the staid and somber Quaker character and dress. It was my complete satisfac-tion with her performance that led me to approach her charming molher and ex-press my admiration of Minnie. Mrs. Palmer, a fascinating and cordial woman met my advance in such gracieua wav that it led to a long and pleasing associ-ation. I soon met Minnie, and continued to see her frequently. She was quite voting then an apparition of girlish loveliness rose bloom and grace aud dimples. Nothing could exceed the modesty of her conduct in the hotel. She was attended by her bewitching mother (now Mrs. Kate Palmer Stem, so well known iq the movements for the help of working women), and was as free of vanity aud as simple as any ordinary XATl'ltAI. UAH. A new discovery of oil and natural gas has been made hear Itawlius, Wyoming. We kuow that there is nat-ural gas in Ogden. A prominent bttsi- - ness man ot that city about two years ago, while having a well dug in his' yard, si ruck gaft, and igniting it with a mulch it burned as readily as any gas in Iudiiina, Ohio or Pennsylvania. This gentleman ran pipes through his house, and has ever since been nsiug natural gas for cooking and healing purposes, .Strange to say, the cilizeiis of Ogden have, as yet, neglected to take advan-tage of this valuable discovery. Natural gas lias recently been discovered iu various sections of Iowa, and there is now one town in (hat stale that is being vigorously pushed as a manu-facturing point, owing to the abundant supply of gas. These facts suggest the probability that there is natural gas in the vicinity of Salt Lake City. In this connection our readers will lind the interview with Mr. Stringer, published in another col-umn, of considerable interest. ilr. Stringer, who was one of tho original promoters of the gas discoveries In Indiana, talks from practical experience. IIo has made careful observations iu this vicinity, aud he says that the surface indications are much moro encouraging hero than they were either. in Indiana or Ohio. Tho strata penetrated iu sinking our arte-sian wells uro similar to those of tho same depth iu tho two slates above mentioned. In boring for gas there is a strong probability of striking an im-mense flow of water, such as some of tho Indiana wells brought to tho sur-face. This in itself should bo in-ducement enough to some of our enter-prisiu- g capitalists to engage iu the un-dertaking of gas discovery even if there wero no indications of gas. Tub Timks suggests that the project of organizing a gas discovery company bo taken up by tho chamber of com-merce, the real estate exchange, or tho mining exchange, or all together. The capital required would not be largo, aud ought to bo subscribed in one day. If natural gas is discovered iu or near Salt Lake it would mako this city ono of the greatest manufacturing places iu the country. We are located so far from eastern manufacturing towns, and we havo raw material of all kinds in such great abundance, that thero would be no question of tho profitable success of manufacturing industries ' of nearly every description.

This is Indeed good news, and will materially aid the growth of this city, Unitkd States Maushal Tausons now reads his title clear. IIo has been confirmed by the seuato. A strong light was niado against him, and tho charges upon which it was based were of a serious character. His confirma-tion, however, is a clear vindication. At least it ought to be so considered by all fair minded persons, as the charges were thoroughly investigated and were Khown to be untrue. , . , If there is any cause for the removal of Postmaster Karratt, Tun Times bo. licves it has discovered it. It must bo tho Tribune's publication of that libel-ous portrait. If Mr. Barratt looks any-- , thing liko that picture wo would not lilamo tho poBtoflieo department for inviting him to resign. Tho picture is ugly enough to scare tho stamps off all tho letters that pass through tho Salt Lake postoflico. Mr. Barratt has a clear case of libol against tho Tribune. The meeting that has been called fo Jiext Monday evening under tho auspi-ces of tho chamber of commerce, to discuss tho welfare, growth and pros-perity of Salt Lake, should be attended ly every man who desires to see the city push ahead. A united effort will accomplish' wonders in a very short time. A great deal of work has been mapped out, but tho pooplo aro impa-tient ut tho delay in starting. They want to sco a vigorous movement started all along tho line at once. NOW i OR HUNINKSS. The action of the meeting held hist evening in adopting a constitution for tho government of u stock exchange, insures for Salt Lako a prominence in mining affairs calculated to bring vast benefits to our people Tho principal features of tho constitution arc given elsewhere in this issuo of The Timks, and it will bo seen that it 'is proposed to conduct tho: transactions of tho ex-change on a basis strictly adhering to business principles as understood by gentlemen, What the stock exchange, has been to New York, this bcnird will be to Salt Lako. Mining interests throughout tho territory will gladly look to tho Salt Lako exchange as a guiding post for their advancement and welfare, and Park City in particular, through the. relationship it will maintain with tho exchange, will become moro closely allied to Salt Lako than ever before. Tho stock exchange, together -- with Mr. Young's new railway, will unite tho two cities iu bauds which cannot bo broken. Thero is no estimating the vast ad- - vantages which will result to tho entiro territory from the establishment of a mining and stoek exchange in this city. Utah is prolific iu her deposits of min-eral wealth, aud theso only lack devel-optuo-to place the territory iu tho front rauk of tho precious regions of tho country. That the stock exchango will materially aid in a rapid advancement of mining Industry, and that it will bo able lo regulate val-ues of mining property in proportion to their intrinsic merits, cannot bo doubted; and when tho orgauiasa--I lion of the exchanges has been completed and busiuess beguiij, it will be found that the gentlemen who have taken the enter-prise in hand have struck the key note to Salt Lake's prosperity and 'future wealth. The Timks congratulates the people of Salt Lake upon the establishment of two such eminoutly potent, factors to substantial greatness for the city as theso two exchanges; and Tuk Timks congratulates itself that its suggestions in this direction have been met with such prompt response by the solid busi-ness men of tho city, Xow for busi-ness. Colonel Pkkby S. Heath, tho well-know- n Washington newspaper corre-spondent, is one of tho shrewdest ob-servers of real estate movements in this country, and has made a handsome for-tun- o out of his investmouts. In a let-- ter to a friend in this city ho says: "I think Rait Lake City will bo a great business center. I regret exceedingly that I did not, while in Salt, Lako last July, buy some roal estate over on tho Jordan. Two or three of our parly mado investments andjiavo realized handsomely." It is hoped that tho city council will Jn a body attend the public meeting to le held in tho federal court room next Monday evening. That meeting is to discuss methods for promoting tho ma-terial interests of Salt Lako City.. Tho city council may get a few valuable pointers, aud learn tho wishes of tho property owners aud their constituency generally. Tho council's tardy action in tho matter of public improvements would seem to indicate that that body lias not yet become posted as lo tho wishes of the majority of our citizens. The Liberal band intended giving a free public concert, tho musiu to be of a sacred character, in Liberty park next Sunday afternoon, but tho mayor has refused to permit it. This rather savors of puritauism. There is hardly a city iu tho country that does uot per- mit music iu its parks 011 Sunday, aud even iu largo halls, mainly for tho ben-efit of the laboring people, who on that day seek rest ami lunoecut recreation. AVehopetlio mayor will reeedo from his position, which is not at all in accord with tho uamo aud principles of tho party that elected him. OUlEN S1.UU1TKU. Our sister city of Ogden, very natur-ally, feels hurt over the fact that it has been slighted in the report of Govern-ment Director Spalding, of the Union PaciHe railroad, in his report. Mr. Spalding gave Omaha. Lincoln, Grand Island, Hastings, and Beatrice iu Ne-braska, Denver and Pueblo in Colorado, and Salt Lake in Utah, quite extended mention, and barely referred to Ogden. Whether the oversight was intention,,! or accidental, we do not kuow, but it should not havo occurred. Ogden de-served as much praise as most of tho towns mentioned in Mr. Spalding's re-port. At a meeting of (he Ogden eham-he- r of commerce the matter was dis-cussed, and the following action was taken: Coioncl Swan sugttested that a ttmtle hint be given that the West end had never yet h;ul a member on the board of directum, uud tnat next time OiidenVcliilm fehould be put forth while at the same time hot shot should contin-ually be poured into tile tars of the Omaha off- icials until thj-wer- e 1;,l(U,to reallae that n amounted to something. Mr. Harris moved the reference of the report to a special committee, with President Nelson us one of the committee. Pwswv"? t'"1"m'1 Swiu.C.tt. Hank and were appointed as Biich com- - The Herald says that "it w as only to tie expected that Postmaster Barratt would have to 'go. " The Times pre- dicts that Mr. Barratt will servo out his term. Removals without cause in the postal servico are now of rare occur-rence. A great many of the most im-portant postmasters who held over into the Cleveland administration served their full term, and wo believe that postmasters of the class in which Mr. Barratt belongs will not bo disturbed by the Harrison administration, but will be permitted to remain in ollico until tho expiration of their commis-sions, unless some serious charges are made and sustained. We know of quite a number of democratic post- masters of Mr. Rarratt's class who are still iu office and will in all probability stay there uutil the end of their terms. Tho present condition of the Salt Lako postoflico is uot what it should lie, but the government is re-sponsible for thai, and the government has already taken steps for nn improve-ment. A postal inspector, who recently inspected the oflice eomplimnuted Mr. Harralt, aud Ave do not believe that s made an adverse report to the postoftice department. Tub Timks is |
