Their nefarious scheme of bribery having failed in North Dakota, they are now laying -- siege to Kentucky and Louisiana. They have offered the stale of Louisiana $1,000,000 a year for a new charter to run twenty-fiv- e years, and the probability is that this tempting bait will be accepted. Think of that! Twenty-fiv- million dollars. That shows what enormous profits this con-cern makes.. .Should Louisiana renew its charter before Senator Hoar's pro-posed constitutional amendment is adopted, nothing can prevent the con-tinuance of the monstrous evil for the next quarter of a century. Senatois Hoar has found a way to eradicate the lottery evil. He an pi'opoes amendment to the constitution pro-viding that neither tho United States nor any state shall pass any law aut hor-izin-the establishment or maintenance of any lottery or distribution of prizes by chances. This is evidently aimed at the Louisiana lottery, which ha grown to be a very dangerous institution. It has accumulated great wealth from the hundreds of thousands of victims who I live in hopes of some day securing a fortune by a simple turn of the wheel. The charter of the Louisiana lottery will oou expire, and the 'managers are des-perately trying to obtain a new lease of 251 South Main Street. "Sight and Hearing IK Gav DR. G, W.

The deluge ' theory of Asia Minor is absurd. They cut a litt le channel in ancient times between Asia and Europe the Dardenelles-a- nd elevated the Mediterranean by turning the Mark and Caspian seas, the water overflowed Syria and the ark grounded, but In our time Noah could not get command of. a gun boat, or a military prison. Stand hlifh up on the summit of thiscontiuent and you will see when the grand deluge cov-ore- d the world. One w ave made the Kocky mountains and then the Alleghanles. leaving 1000 miles of live feet praliie soil to raise corn for the starving world. One portion of the water wound its way bv the Missouri and the Mississippi to the sea, and another by way of the St. Lawrence, the Atlantic ocean depos-ing those inland seas of fresh water, Lakes Michigan, Huron. Superior, Ontario and Erie, along the road and making a plateau of boundless prairie, expressly for the track of of the great Union Pacific railway of America. One more stock Idea. As sure as the rainbow is the autograph of God. the union must and shall be preserved. Man has made these great Hues of railway to run east and west, but God. thinking man might blunder, was his own topographical enginesr, and took the precaution to build the mountains and the rivers north and south, and what, God has put together let no ambitions plebian in the north or relwl traitor in the south dare to tear asunder. All the prophecies of J'r. Train have been more than fullilled. Thcio are now five transcontinental railway routes. The grand results that have been accomplished in railway progress and the consequent development of thri country are largely due to the efforts of (Jeoi'ge Francis Train in behalf of the Union i'aeilic during its days of con-struction. Thomas G. Duranl, who was the guiding star of the great en-terprises knew the value of Train anil engaged his serv ices in the interests of the gigantic undertaking. The Credit Mobilier, which furnished the money for the construction of the road, was the idea of Mr. Train. A special charter for a loan and trust company had been obtained under the laws of Pennsylvania, and it was owned bv Duff (Ireen. Train bought this charter for $500, ami sold it for $100,-00- 0 to the Credit Mobilier company, which was organized subsequently by Durant, Bushnoll and others. Mr. Train is thus described by the late George D. Prentice: "A locomotive that has run off the track, turned up-side down with its cowcatcher buried in a stump and the wheels making a thousand revolutions a minute a kite in the air which has lost its tail a human novel without a hero a man who climbs a tree for a bird s nest out on the limb, and iu order to get it saws the limb off between himself and the live a ship without a rudder a clock with-out hands n sermon that is all text a pantomime of words an arrow shot into the air the apolhi o.dsof talk the iuciii'iialiou of gab. Handsome, viva-cious, versatile, muscular, as neat as a cat, clean to the marrow, a judge of the effect of clothes, frugal in food and reg-ular only in habits. A noonday mys-tery, a solved' conundrum a practical joke in earnest a cipher wanting a ligure to pass for something; with the brains of twenty men iu his head all pulling in different ways; not bad as to heart, but a man who has shaken hands with reverence." I ITIZKN TRAIN. (iourge Francis Train is once nioro attructiiijj! public attention. Ho is trav-elitij- ? uitoss the continent .lo.Tticonia On li is hohio st re toll Id his rnco against limo around tli globe, ami will beat all previous records. JIo will make tho round trip in about- sixty-fou- r (lays, be tting Jules' Verne's tinut by sixteen days. Although tho vauo around the globe is a seeoiHl-lmm- l idea with Ml .Train, nev-ertheless it was peculiarly appropriate for him to make it. lie wm one of the most important factorsln the biiildingof the first transcontinental railway tho Union racitio which rendered it pos-sible for it traveler to make the circuit of tho globe in less than eighty days. It was on Decembers, 1 803, that ground wns uroKun ut uniuua lor tno union racitio. Among the prominent men present on that eventful occasion, was (runrgo Francis Train, who niado tho most brilliant spuoeli of tho day. It was remarkable by reason of its pro-phetic chiiractiH'. Ho opened his speech willi a reference to .tho- - breaking of ground for the racitio railroad as "tho inauguration of tho grandest enterprise under God, the world has ever witness-ed." He 'then said:"' - America is the stage, the world Is the-- audi-ence of today. While ono act ot .the drama represents the booming of cannon ou the Rap. idau. the Cumberland and the Hlo Grande, sounding the death knell ot rebelliuus war, the next scone records the booming of cannon on both sides of the Missouri to celebrate the grandest work of peace that ever attracted the energies of man. r0l)r thousand years ago the pyramids were started but they simply represent the vanity of man. The Chinese wall was jti'iuut In conception, but built only to break tho tide of invasion. Tho imperial canal was gigantic, but how limited all t hese things appear in com-parison to an enterprise that Joins together thirty-fou- r states and a dozen territories. Before the tlrst century of Hie nation's birth, we may see in the New York depot some strange Pacini' railway notice. Kuropoan passengers for Japan will please take the night train. Passengers for China this way. African and Asiatic freight must be dis-tinctly marked : Kor Peldn via San Francisco. 'Krc ten years go by,' said one of the prime movers or this great undertaking, 'I intend to let the Kuropcan traveler get a ue- - sensation by standing ou the ridge pole or the American nation and sliding off Into the sea.'

The musical festival which is to bo held in the Tabernacle on Friday and Saturday, May iiO and 81, promises to bo a brilliant success in every respect. It will bo the first event of the kind ever held in Utah. Three separate pro-grammes will; be rendered. Three hundred select voices, under the aus-pices of the Salt Luke Choral society, will sing at the two night performances, and at the Saturday afternoon enter-tainment one thousand school children will rendttr the "Auvil Chorus," the "Waltz Chorus," and "Hail Columbia," accompanied by a largo orchestra ami the great pipe organ. The voices of the festival chorus have been carefully selected, anil are now in training under the direction of talented musicians. I'rof. Evan Ste-phens is the conductor of the affair, and I'rof. Thomas Eadclifl'c is the accompanist. Miss Li..ie Thomas and Mrs. KdithClawson - Knowlton are the soprano soloists; Messrs. H. h. Kaston and C. D. J'ypcr, tenors; Miss Jennie Hawley, Miss Bessie Dean, Miss Viola Pratt and Miss (irace Young, contraltos; Messrs. 11. 15. Young and H. S. Goddard, bari-tones. The stars of the festival will be Miss licrtha Hayliss ami Mr, K. U. Young. Their appearance will be one of thu most pleasing features of the festival. Salt Lake people will note with pride and pleasure the remarkable progress made by Miss Hayliss, for those who have lately heard her sing give her the very highest prais In Omaha, where Miss Hayliss has been for three years under the instruction of Mr. and Mrs. Young, this foremost place has been awarded tier ltllli.iijl till, lump!, i of (lint llil'lL. iug metropolis believe that she is des-tined to become one of tho leading singers iu the country. Mr. Young, whose singing has delighted Suit Luke pcoplc.so many times, is universally popular in Omaha, where ho litis evinced the highest type of musical tal-ent. The Apollo club, of which he is the musical couduetor, is a superbly drilled horns of male voices mid is one of the established institutions iu Oiuuhu. Miss Huyliss anil Mr. Young have recently received Halter-ing offers to sing iu Chicago churches, and it is more than likely that Chicago will futiiro home. Salt Lake has the reputation of being one of lite greatest musical centers in the country, and no doubt will add new laurels to its fame iu the musical festival. The Tabernacle ought to be tilled to its utmost enpucity at the three entertainments, and it probably will be. The people of Salt Lake owe it to them-selves to see that the grand affair' is a liuancia! success. .CITY CIHCUI.ATION. The Tisiks management Is making every ef-fort possible to have thc paper promptly anil regularly delivered in every part of tho city, Any complaint about the delivery It, neat to this office, will be attended to ut once. Sam r.MAM., the evangelist, is in Ogden. He will endeavor to convert the inhabitants unto tho ways of truth-fulness. He has undertaken a big job. Wu.son Hahuutt, the eminent Eng-lish actor, now tilling an engagement in i his city, paid a very handsome com-pliment to Salt Lake, at the close of last evening's performance. He expressed himself as delighted with the city, its climate, its many beautiful attractions and suir.junilings. He could not help Ihinking how the people in the crowded portions of Loudon, where they never . see me mite siiy 01 neaven, wouiu re-joice to exchange the. stilling atmos-phere and the monotony of the great metropolis for the grass and fragrant flowers and the el rful skies mid the scenery and the health-givin- climate of Salt Lake. He congratulated the people of Salt Lake upon being so for-tunate iu living in a place so generously favored by nature. Sknatok Stankokd has at last intro-duced his initch-disctisse- bill to loan government money to farmers, The scheme is of a most visionary charac-ter, and if over carried out would in-- r volve the government iu continual litigation and expense. In cac of de-fault of payment of interest or princi-pal the chief of the loan bureau nuiy order a foreclosure iu the United Slates circuit court. Sooner or later the prin-cipal business of the courts v uld' be the foreclosing of inorlgages. and the government would have oil its hands a largo number of farms for sale or rent. There is no danger, howcver.that Sena-tor Stanford's scheme will ever be con-summated. He is merely throwing out u bait to the farmers in. tho hope that they will give his presidential boom let a boost. His bootnlot is about as far off iisrliis loaning project.

Sknatok Wilson, of Iowa, is endeav-oring to push bis bill relating to the regulation of imported liquors. This liK'UKUre is intended to offset the effect of the recent "original package" de-rision of the United Slates supremo court. Senator Vest yesterday took the ground that this bill would wipe out the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States over interstate commerce, and that it was in direct conllict with thu decision that alcoholic stimulants were, articles of inlerslalo commerce, and that the power to regulate commerce among the states and with foreign ua- - nuns as uu exclusive power vested IU ctYngross by the constitution. If an ex-ception is made iu regard to liquor, which has been delined as merchandise, then other articles of merchandise could lie shut out from any stale. Tho posi-tion taken by Mr. Vest will probably be iislained,.igid Mr. Wilson's bill will bo laid on the shelf. One Hundred and Seven Years Old. Mrs. Lanchester, of Bildersliaw, near Darlington, England, is well in her 107th year, having been born at Gallow Hill, Yorkshire, on May 29, "Oak Apple day," 1783. A healthy old lady she is, too. She no longer rises early, but she per-forms her own toilet, and, though a littlo deaf, can see without glasses, her "sec-ond sight" having come to her about eighteen years back." She also talks and walks well, and during the lato harvest actually took part in the gleaning. Mrs. Lanchester, who is a widow of forty years' standing, has had several children. Her eldest surviving "child" is 80 years of age, and she has a great-grandso- n of 33. She cannot t'abido" doctors and has only traveled by train three times in her life. Hall's Journal of Health. Some littlo evidence was manifested in the city council hist evening that a Htart is to he made some time this sea-son iu street paving. The preliminar-ies will probably occupy most of tho summer. Tho city attorney has u bill for a paving ordinance, which has iiccn referred to tho commit-tee on improvements and ordered printed. An ordinance providing for the creation of a board of public works bus also been introduced. The city en-gineer, who is trying to divide tho city into paving district s, has been granted morn time. It is sale to say that at the present rate of proceeding there will be no paving done iu Salt I,ako until late iu August or early in September, but w lieu thi' actual start is made the im-provements no doubt will be pushed (liile rapidly. It is very important that jn an anging all the necessary prelimina-ries everylhiugshouldbu done correctly, no that there will be !io mistakes ami no delays iu the future. All the details in connection with the proposed public lie- improvements should be carefully considered by the council, and of course tlits reiitiics time. We hope, however, that the council will facilitate matters as rapidly as is consistent with sound business principles. A Boston Millionaire. Henry Lillie Pierce, a Boston million aire, is quick to recognize literary ability and the demands of genius as evidence of which in tho impetus he gave T. B. Aldrich.' Understanding how trammel-ing any financial need would be, he in-vested money for Mr. Aldrich, which has resulted in comparative wealth to the poet. The Aldriches, with their famous twins boys ready for Harvard now and Mr. Pierce, form ono household. It is said in Boston that wherever a rare bit of bric-a-bra- c or a "find"' in a curio is discovered by a dealer, his first thought is to show it to Henry Pierce or Tom Aldrich.
