SIGNS OF TKOSPERITY. The number of new buildings going up in all parts of Salt Lake City is con-clusive evidence of prosperity. Busi-ness buildings are being erected on every street to accommodate the de-mand of the many merchants who have come here to locate, ami who arc wait-ing for quarters. Many of the old established firms are having now and elegant structures built for them. Some of these buildings will be live and six stories iu height, commodious in their dimensious.modcnj in all their appoint-ments, and handsome and striking in architectural design. These structures, when completed, would be a credit to any city in the country. Dwelling houses, ranging from the cottage to the mansion, are being rushed up by the hundreds on every residence street. Numerous old timers are getting a move on themselves and are securing more luxurious homes, while the new comers are "camping out" until new houses are provided for them. ' Now let the city push the public im-provements tho Street pavements, the sidewalks, the sewers, and so on all along the line, and there will not be in this country a busier or more rapidly growing city thau Salt Lake. Every day adds a host of now sub-scribers to our list. P. S. Keep your eye on The Times. that it seemed to embarrass him to give orders, but when necessary he gave thera in a way that left no room for misapprehension. He was too old a campaigner to despise comfort, but he was satitied with essentials and eared for nothing bevond. On this march he had his headquarters with the chief packer. "In good weather the saddle blankets made a sufficiently good bed, and in bad weather the apparejos woiud make a reasonably good tent. As for his mess, the train cook was always a good one, and. having unlimited trans-portation, he was rarely out of supplies. Beyond this ho required no attention. He could wash and mend his own clothes, and wasnotaboie doing it. At the month oi I'mvor river, where General Terry paid him a visit he excused himself until his shirt, which he had just washed, was dry enough to put ou. He was a mighty hunter. No Indian was more tireless iu pursuit of game and no one had a bigger string of it to his credit than General Crook. His in that lino seemed to be his credit than General Crook., His in that line seemed to be a greater gratification to him than his fame as a soldier. I became somewhat acquainted with him in later years, and have heard him tell many stories of his hunting, but none of Ins campaigns. He would recount with gleo how ho got the best of rival sportsmen. I remember his telling mo of a duck hunt at a lake near Omaha. That spring the ducks and geese were numerous, but wild, and a number of Omaha sportsmen had been out with poor success. One daythoro came a snowstorm; the gen-eral went to the lake, wrapped himself in a white blanket, lay down iu a good place and killed near a wagon load of game. On his return he was plied with questions, but he kept his secret, saving, 'there was no diiliculty in mak-- a big bag if one only knew how.' tioneral Crook. Major H. B. Freeman of the Seventh United States iufantry, in some interest-ing reminiscences published iu the St. Taul Pioneer-Press- , says that he first saw General Crook during the Sioux campaign of 18T0, wheu General Terry's command, to which he himself belonged, had rescued Reno and given burial to Gcueral Custer and his d con-rade- Ho says: "When I met General Crook he pre- sented no sign of rank or calling. He was riding a mule (his favorite mount iu campaigning), iu his shirt sleeves. His long blourfo side w hiskers were braided or twisted and tied with twine; a double-barrele- d shot guu lay across tho frout of his saddle, and he looked like anything rather than the soldier was. he Ordinarily his modesty was such Judge Hilton may find it more difficult to convict the New York World editors than it was to indict them. The newsboys consider every copy of The Times a prize winner. They find it the best selling newspaper in Salt Lake City. LABOR NOTE. 'The Indianapolis (Ind.1 parade has beeu postponed to May 13. HaveriU (Mass.) carpenters have se-cured a niue-liou- r day at the old pay. The Westerly (K. I.) granite cutters have struck. A conference will be had. Knoxville, Tcnn., carpenters have struck for an eight-hou- r day with 10 honrs' pay. " Boston's frce-stou- c contractors and cutters have formally agreed to a scheme of arbitration. At Toledo, O., brewery hours have been reduced from 18 to 10 and bakers from 12 to 10. At Birmingham, Ala., there was a parade- with o,000 men iu line and ad-dresses followed. "Bradstreet's" female clerks at Oma-ha, Neb., have struck against a reduc-tion of wages. Lancaster, (Pa.,) laborers, except the employes of one boss carpenter, secured their demands. Grand Rapids (Mich.) carvers are out for a shorter work day, and are pro-pare- d for a long tight. All the Clay County (Indiana) miners, except those at Clay city, are out pend-ing a scale agreement. At Fort Wayne. Iud.. stonecutters were grauted an eight-hou- r day. The carpenters have struck for it.. Youngstowu (O.) painters, plumbers bricklayers, masons and tailors had their demands conceded. Over 2000 carpenters at Detroit have struck for a reduction of horn's. A speedy victory is expected. Tho Atlantic line's trimmers and at Hancock, Mich., have won their strike for an advantage of wages. The reduction of wages of United States Express company employes throughout the country was put iu force Thursday. , Buffalo (N. Y.) carpenters, having a nine-hoii- r day, inado no demonstration. Bakers will demand a ten-hou- r day. Ottawa, Ont., bricklayers, stonecut-ters, uiasous and carpenters have de-manded a nine-hour- day with s' pay. Railroad workers centering at Altoona Pa., have demanded concessions similar to those' at Pittsburg, and will probably get them. Car-work- s woodcarvers at Dayton.O., have struck for the discharge of non-union men. The local carpenters re-mained at work May day. General Greeley, tho national weather regulator, will visit Salt Lake iu a few days. Salt Lake can rind no fault with tho weather that he supplies for this vicinity. - The city authorities should round up the horses and cows that are permitted to run at large in the residence portions of tho city. Salt Lake City is not a pas-ture. Let the nuisance be abated at 1 once. Sir John Millais, the English painter. Is suffering from a weakness of sight. As his power of distinguishing near ob-jects has deteriorated, he is obliged to paint with brushes a yard long, which interferes with the delicate work nec-essary for portraiture. THE 1HSINESS fllDKWALKS. It may bo a chestnut, but it is never-theless a fact that the sidewalks in the sidewalks in the business portion of the city, are, as a rule, a disgrace to Salt Lake. This is particularly true of the gravel-asphaltui- n walks, which are worn out. The gravel has become rough and pointed so that it is ' actually painful to walkover it. Ladies, especially with their thiu-soule- d shoer. are simply tor-tured. Strangers criticise our walks, and truthfully declare that their condi-tion shows a lamentable lack of enter-prise on the part of the city and prop-erty owners. Tho city should condemn all the poor sidewalks, and order new ones to bo put down. Tho property owners, however, ought 1o have enough pride . and enterprise to lay decent sidewalks without any such action on the part of the council. It is an outrage ou tho public for the owner of a handsome aud costly busi-ness building to permit a miserable apology of a sidewalk to disgrace its front. Good sidewalks iu the business center are more important than street paving. Wo hope that our business meu will at once for the public benefit as well as their own take immediate steps towards giving us better walks. Twcre is a lamentable lack of street signs in Salt Lake City. This deficiency in our street system should at once be supplied, and it is hoped tho city coun-cil will take action in tho matter at its meeting this evening. A neat sign on each street corner would be a great im-provement as well as a public conven-ience. Mr. John W. Yolng's new railroad, the Utah Central, to Park City, is doing an excellent business and an evening train each way between Park City and Salt Lake Is fully warranted by the traffic. Wo hope that Mr. Young will as soon as possible put on au evening train in response to the general de-mand. "Sight and Hearing He Cave Ea." DR. G. W.

If it will also turn its guns on tho numerous quacks who infest Denver it will hit as cheeky a crowd of frauds as ever drew breath. The scoundrels who trillo with human life should cither be landed iu tho penitentiary or shot iuto the far beyond by electricity. A lottery shark is a Good Samaritan iu comparison with a quack doctor. The Louisiana lottery schemers are continuing their efforts to secure a new lease of life in some state. Their charter' iu Louisiana expires in 1803, and It is doubtful if they can get it re-newed. Their recent failure to capture North Dakota has led them to look else-where. They aro now tempting Ken-tucky with a $12,500,000 bribe as a bonus for a twenty-fiv- e year charter. This hows what immense profits there aru iu this nefarious business. DON'T SELL THK CITY GAS STOCK. Iu regard to the proposed sale of the city gas stock The Times repeats what it said a few days ago, that tho city should retain possession of that stock. It gives the city a voice iu the manage-ment of tho affairs of the gas compauy. and this is especially important when taken in connection with the regulation of the rates for gas consumption. These rates should be made as low as possible, and this the city would naturally do. This fact should not be lost sight of. We havo already shown that the gas stock is very valuable property, and likely to increase in value with the growth of tho city. It is paying a divi-dend of over twenty per cent, and the profits have been sullicieut to pay the cost of lighting the streets. This is a big item of sav ing to tho lax payers, whoso taxes of course would be in-creased were the city to dispose of its interest iu the gas plant. Tho majority of the people arc undoubtedly op-posed to tho sale, and the press is unau-imou- s in its opposition. When these facts are taken iuto consideration, we hardly think the city council ' will shoulder the responsibility of parting w ith its interest iu the gas works. A FKW SMILE PROVOKERS. Shad roes by uuy other name would doubtless taste about the same. The best man to disperse a crowd is a pickpocket. Columbus dispatch. The fisherman considers it a part of his business to scale the heights of fic-tion. Some ball players can knock a foul over the fence without ruining a feather. Many a man who is a good shot in this world hopes to miss tire iu the next. Boston Bulletin. Bayou Sarah would be a tip-to- place to bring out "The Gondo.iers" just now. Boston Herald. Then; is no man so wise that a fool-ish lit tic woman cannot make a fool of him, if she will aud she generally will. Somerville Journal. "I'm the clam before the storm," as tho shulliish remarked when it was washed ashore by the waves caused by an advancing hurricane. Merchant traveler. Young Briudle Pa, can't I have a tlaune. shirt like yours? Mr. Brindle (speaking from experience) My son, you may have this after it's washed. Bobby Why do they have that big lantern'iu front of the engine, papa? Para (with memories of the past) To warn travelling actors, Bobby. Mrs. Evans Gordon is winning great praise in India as a tiger-slaye- When it comes to a question of the' lady or tho tiger, the tiger loses every time. Low-ell Courier. "I took an overdose of rough ou rats," was what the terrier who had been scratched by the cat explained to the setter who liad asked him what the mat-ter was. Merchant Traveler.

Now York Weekly. A lecturer ou physical beauty savs that "holding one's hands up makes the veins swell and induces a large, coarse development." Train robbers, who order their victims to throw up their hands," should bo informed of this fact. Norristown Herald. The chamber of commerce continues to grow iu membership and usefulness. It is an organization thaUshould bo en-couraged aud supported by every man who wants to see Salt Lako flourish. It is strictly a business body, aud we are glad to seo that polities and relig-ar- e completely knocked out every time anyone attempts to bring those two outside elements iuto tho deliberations of the chamber. Still another railroad is pointing to-wards Salt Lako from the east. It is a transcontinental line and of course is "backed by millions." Tho route known as the Leavenworth, Denver & Utah Short Line, which was surveyed from Leavenworth two years ago, is to be utilized. It is said that this survey i eighty miles shorter thau any other route between Denver and Salt Lake. We hope that this is not a paper rail-road operated by wind.

A thorough building permit system should be established in Salt Lake. Every man erecting a building should bo required to obtain a permit, in which should be stated the material, cost, size and location, together with the purpose of the building, whether for business or residence. This system would bo valuoble as a record of im-provements, aud would bo useful in many other ways. The small fees that could be charged for permits would be Etifiicient to pay the salary of a build-ing inspector. . Patient Chugg. Chicago Tribune.

Ho's the most entertaining conversationist I ever met." "What was ho talking about, Laura?" "Why, he was he was talking of of he was I was telliug him all about our summer in Paris, you know. And he was so interested! "' The Fiend Who Talks Shop. Lawrence American. We all have grown so very used To teasing, loansome bores The men who whistle in the house, And never close tho doors; Who will go out between the acts To take a little drop We scarcely ought to mind the man Who's always talking thop. A nuisancer Eld yon ever have A fly biuz rouud your head, Alighting on it now and then. Till you would fain be dead! You havet Aha! You swear to think Oi it. Hush up! Now stop; It's nothing when compared to him Who's always talking shop. Now, whether he's an author, or Au artist, or a poet, He is the man who always seems To want us all to know It. He likes to t hrow in business words, Till mad you'd like to hop. He will not stop, that awful man Who's always talking shop. Some day a cyclone will swoop down, A blizzard will descend, And scoop him up to give the wretch A very proper end ; Or else some vengctul mortal's gun Will, with a sounding pop. l'ut daylight through that tlend of Bends Who's always talking shop. Last week's eloariugs of tho Salt Lake banks amouuted to $1,498,117. This puts this city ahead of Indianapolis, a place of 125,000 people, Toledo, with its 100,000 population, Portland, Ore., with 75,000 population, and doing a large commercial business; Now Haven, Springfield, Worcester, Portland, Me., with 100,000 population, aud a commer-cial city; and so ou. Salt Lake's place in tho list of sixty clearing houses is No. S3, aud she gains ground every week. This is a healthy indication, especially as the transactions are all legitimate. Ways of the World. Gath in the Enquirer. Ono of tho old poets described the world as a mighty maze, but one with-out a plan, aud to tho world may be said to bo made up of progress, resist-ance and habits. Here, with tho fin-est piece of country on the globo aud tho most extensive, we fina that not even tho figures of our census promise us everlastiug security. We are care-fully computed to bo worth in our American property sixty billion dollars, which isiu tho ratio of $1,000, a head for man, woman and child, black white and rod. Consequently the richest natiou cornpurativuly in tho world is ever nioro than three or four years ahad of its necessities, if wo suppose that the plainest family can live on $300 a year. In point of fact great multitudes of pure American blood do not get iu ready niouey $100 a year. Book Notice. "Fruits and How to Use Them," by Mrs. Hester M. Poolo. New York Fowler & Wells; Salt Lake, C: II . Par-sou- This is a practical manual for house-keepers, containing nearly soven hun-dred recipes for . wholesome prepara- tions of foreigu and domestic fruits. Referring to tho thrifty housekeeper, Milton says: 'Fruits of all kinds. 1n coat Kouph. or smooth rinds, or bearded husk, or ihell, Phe gathers tribute large, and on the board Heaps with un.sparlng hand; for drluk. the grape She crushes, inoffensive must, and mcathes i'rom many a berry: aud from tweet kernels pressed She tempers dulcet creams." The work is a haudy littlo volume, aud will be found invaluable to those ladies who prefer to put down fruits for tho household to buying them in the canned form. HO UK INDlSTIiJ'.S. The remarks of Mr. Elias Morris at the citizens' mass-meetin- last evening, to far as thry related to home manufac-tures, were very timely. Salt Lake must havo rnoro home industries before it can expeot to support a large popula-tion. Wo havo an abundance of raw material of nearly every kind in Utah, aud all that is required is capital aud energy to properly utilize our re-sources, and give employment to thou-sands aud thousands of skilled mechan-ics and laborers. It does seem absurd that Utah should continue to send cast for Its stoves, its glass, its irou, its 6ugar, its pottery, ami a hundred other staple articles that can bo produced at home. We havo an abuudauce of coal for fuel, 'aud this is au important item in manufacturing. .Minerals of all kinds abound on every hand. Yet with all these materials at our very dooi-- s we continue to pay- - exorbitant railroad vatas ou eastern manufactured articles. With the establishment of a largo num-ber of home industries this railroad burden could be lifted to a great exteut - from the shoulders, of the consumers. King Charles of Romuania has a sal-ary of s?i00,000 a year. Ho is tifiv-on- e years of ago, and militarv affairs ab sorb his attention most of the time. |
