The buildings have been im-proved and newly decorated;' the plat-form has been widened and lengthened into a magnificent prominade; the boats are all in readiness for rowing on the lake, and the cafe is tolled witn all seasonable delicacies and substan-tial viands. Today has been one of those perfect Utah days, delicious in its spring like loveliuess and with just a Hiilliciency of breeze stirring to render it all that could be desired. Garfield may now be considered as open lor the season, and henceforward throughout the summer months, and way into Oc-tober, visitors and tourists will flock thither to bathe in the invigorating waters of the lake, to partake ot the hospitalities of the cafe, to dance y moonlight in the pavilion, and to take delightful exercise at the oar. During the afternoon Mr. frank Washburn gave a delicious dinner to the representatives of the Salt Lake press, at which Tim Times, the Herald, the Tribune and the News were repre-sented. ' ' ; AT GARFIELD T(M formal Opening of Salt Lake's Most De-lightful Summer and Bathing Eesort, IT WAS , A - MERRY EVENT. The Elambeau Club and What Its Members Have Arranged for the Day's Enjoyment. The formal opening of the season at Gariicld beach occurred today under most Hattering auspices. It has been anticipated for the past three weeks that today would usher in the regular bathing and other outdoor enjoyments at this favorite summer resort, and the prosenco in the city for some time past of ., Mr....Fr,auk Washburn, tho genial siijcrlntflndeut of tho Union Pacific's hotel system, and who had charge of the work in progress at the beach, was significant of energy and thoroughness looking to that end. Arrangements had been made by the Union Pacific, for running a large num-ber of trains between tho city and Garfield today, and yesterday it was announced that these would leave Salt Lake at 8 and 10:15 a. m., and at 1, 2:45, 5:10 and 7 p. m., arriving in the city on the return trip at 12:15, 8:45, 4:25, 5:55, 0:30 and 11:30 p. ra. This time table will be carried out to the letter, and people can go down in the evening and, return before mid-night. The programmo for the day's enjoy-ment was an extended one and included a grand parade and exhibition drill by the Flambeau Club, a baseball match between a picked nine of the university and members of the Flambeau Club for a prize of a set of baseball bats pre-sented by M. K. Evans, the gunsmith, a grand shooting contest for teams of six men from all regularly organized gun clubs in Utah for a silver cup valued at $75, presented by L. Hollander, the jeweler, a foot race of 100 yards and also a half-mil- e foot race. The Flambeau club opened the day's celebration at noon by parading through the principal streets in full uniform and preceded by tho Liberal drum corps. The parade ended at 1 o'clock at the depot, where the club took the train for Garfield. At 2:15 p. m. the foot racing for the prizes named occurred, and at 8:45 the baseball match was begun. Owing to some telephonic interruption the result of these contests had not reached The Times up to the hour of going to press. The shooting match announced for 4:45 p. m., was sure to come off. and quite a large number of expert shots are expected to take part. This evening beginning at 8 o'clock the Flambeau club will give an exhibi-tion drill, and later will occur the splen-did illumination of Great Salt" Lake under the auspices of the Flambeaus. A grand ball is set down to begin at 8:30 this evening in the pavilion, and while tho lake is being brilliantly illu-minated by pyrotechnics of beautiful variegated colors, the dancers will move to the music of tho Liberal band. These latter features of the day will prove very attractive and those of our citizens who cannot) attend throughout the day can take the 7 p. m. train and have three hours and a half of rare en-joyment. Everything at the beach is in splendid by and now in the hands of the receiver is as follows: ('ash,25a,8lJ3; the church farm of 11115 acres, situated within the three mile limit of this city, SCOO.OOO or toOO,(MO; the tithing yard in this city, 270xit:tO feet on Main street, opposite the tem-ple. $100,000 to $125,000; the (Jardo house and historian's office in this city, with a frontage of :M0 feet on Brighani street, about $150,000;icoal mines hear Coalville.

SCOPE OF THE LAW. Effect of the Supreme Oonrt Decision on the Church Property Now Under Seizure. ACTS .OF CONGRESS EEVIEWED. A Million and a Quarter Secured for the Benefit of Utah's Common Schools. The decision handed down yesterday from the supreme court of the United States, and which so vitally affects tho Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, is based upon the several acts of Congress which have from time to time been passed regarding, not only the church named, but all churches in the territories of the United States. Judgo Poland's bill, which was ap-proved July 8th, 1SG2, is entitled "An act to punish and prevent tho practice of polygamy in the territories of the United Slates and other places, and disapproving and annulling certain acts of the legislative assembly of the terri-tory of Utah," and one of ils sections reads: Section 3. That it shall uot be law-ful for any corporation or association for religious or charitable purposes to acquire or hold real estate in any terri-tory in tho United States during the existence of tho territorial government of a greater value than $50,000; and all real estate acquired or held by any such corporation or association,, contrary to the provisions of this act shall be for-feited and escheat to the United States. Providing, that existing vested rights m real estate shall not be impaired by this section. Tho Edmunds law, section 2, repeals "the ordinance of the provisional gov-ern nient of tho state of Deseret, namely: 'An ordinance incor-porating tho Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, passed February 8, 1850, and adopted, and made valid by tho governor and legislative assembly of the territory of Utah by an act passed January 111, 1855, entitled, 'An act in relation to the compilation and revision of the laws and resolu-tions in force in Utah territory, their compilation and distribution,' and all their acts and parts of acts heretofore passed by said legislative assembly of tho terriiory of Utah which establish, support, maintain, shield or counte-nance polygamy. "Provided, That the act shall be so limited an i construed as not to affect or interfere with the right of property legally acquired under the ordinance heretofore mentioned, nor with the right to worship God according to the dictation of consciences', but only to annul all acts and laws which establish, maintain, protect or countenance tho pracpee of polygamy, evasively called spiritual marriage, however disguised by legal or ecclesi-astical solemnities, sacraments, cere-monies, consecrations or other contri-vances." Tho Tucker-Kdmund- s act took effect March 8, 1887, aud two of its sections provido as follows: Section 13, That it shall be the duty of tho attorney-genera- l of the Uuited States to institute and prosecute pro-ceedings to forfeit and escheat to the United Stales the property of ' corpora-tions obtained or held in violation of section U of the act of congress ap-proved July 1, IHU2, or in violation of section 181)0 of the revised statutes of tho UnitPil States; and all such property so forfeited and escheated to the United States shall be disposed of by the secre-tary of tho interior, and the proceeds thereof applied to the uso and benefit of the common schools in the territory in which such property may be. Provided, That no building, or tho grounds appurtaneut thereto, which is held and occupied exclusively for tho purposes of the worship of (ioil, or par-sonage connected therewith, or burial ground, shall be forfeited." Section 17, That tho acts of the legis-lative assembly of the territory of Utah incorporating, continuing or providing for tho corporation known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, and the ordinance of the general assembly of the state of Deseret incorporating tho Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, so far as the same may now havo legal force and validity, are hereby disap-proved and annulled, and sald'eorpora-tion- , in so far as it may now have, or pretend to have, any legal oxistonce, is hereby dissolved, That it shall bo the duty of the attor-ney general of the United States to cause such proceedings to be taken in the supreme court of tho ter-ritory of Utah as shall be proper to execute the foregoing provis-ions of this section and to wind up the affairs of said corporation conformably to law; and in such proceedings the court shall have power, aud it shall be its. duty, to make such decree or decrees as shall bo proper to effectuate the transfer of the titlo to real property now held ami used by said corporation for places of worship, and parsonages connected therewith, and burial grounds, and of the description men-tioned in the provision of section la of this act and iu section 20 of this act, to the respective trustees mentioned iu section 20 of this act; and for the pur-poses of this section said court shall nave all the powers of a court of equity." Under these two sections of this act the attorney general of the Uuited Slates proceeded to act in (ho latter part of the summer of 1887. Frank 11. byer was appoiuted receiver in Novem-ber, 1887. and at once entered upon ihe duties of his office. Among the prop-erly at first levied upon by the receiver was what is knowu asthe'Temp block in this city, but by direction of the ter-ritorial supreme court, which allirmed the validity of all other seizures under the act of congress last quoted, tho case went to the supreme court of (lit Uuited States, ft is this appeal ease which was decided yesterday by the su-premo court of tho Uuited Stales in favor of tho validity aud constitution-ality of the act of congress, approved March 3, 1887. Tho next step in the proceedings will probably be the supreme court of tho territory of Utah directing the receiver to turn over to the secretary of the iuterior all money in his possession lev-ied upon by him as a part of the prop-erty of the Mormon church coining under the provisions of the act of Con-gress approved March 3, 1887; and this will proiiably be followed by an order directing tile receiver to dispose of all other properly levied upon and held by him under the said act. and remit the proceed to the secretary of the interior. The money and property so levied upon t WANTS. If you want help, If you want to rent a House, If you want to sell a lot, If you want a situation, If you want anything. Advertise in Tm; Timbs "Want.

In Working Off Forged Cheoks on Mer-chants Who Believed In Her. SHE HAS A NAUGHTY HUSBAND Who Stood in With Her Dishonest Tran-sactions and They are Now In. the Penitentiary. Delia Martin is quite an attractive, robust piece of femininit y who is now classed.among the crimjhals. She was put on trial this morning in the district court on the charge of forgery. Accord-ing to the prosecution Delia was the cause of a forged check for $29.50 being cashed at Kimball & Spencer's shoe house. ': Mrs. Martin is a married woman, or at all events she is alleged to have a husband who is also indicted on a simi-lar charge as that for which she is on trial. She is old enough to be a married woman and is just sufficiently prepossessing, or has been, to have had a half dozen men to take care of at different intervals, for the reason that she is now on the afternoon sido of life, or rather a woman who has just been to lunch. She is very fleshy, and in court she ap-peared with her husband and an attor-ney. Her plump, robust liguro was en-cased in a neat, closely fitting black al-paca. Underneath a broad brimmed hat to correspond with the dress, was a heavy head of hair sprinkled with gray. She was calm, and a matter-of-fac- t business woman during tho examination of witnesses for the prosecution as if a realty broker were selling a piece of property for her. Martin, her husband, is a tall, old man, at about the age of 3 o'clock in the afternoon. He possesses an intelli-gent and somewhat classified expression on a long, wrinkled face. He is beardless, or at least ho has no her' suite appendages other than a short stumbled beard. His hair is somewhat in growth in advance of his whiskers. It is short, however, but about half an inch in length, and almost white. He is also indicted for forgery, but will not be tried until after his wife's case is concluded. ' Mrs. Martin is a woman who has had several names and claims to have come from St. Paul. She, according to trie charge against her, on March 10 went into Kimball & Spencer's shoe store and purchased a pair of shoes. The price was $0, and she presented a check for $29.50 in payment 'therefor. The paper was 'made ipayable to Marsh Gratton ' and' signed by. Hugh, Smith, both of1 which names were fictitious. The clerk at the shoe house cashed the check and gave Mrs. Martin $23.50 in change. W hen the check was presented at the Zion Savings bank for payment it was found to bo fraudulent. . ..... After the, testimony was all in arguments were made and the case was given to the jury. It was out live min-utes and then returned with a verdict of guilty. The woman was overcome and while she was sobbing she heard the sentence pronounced which was one year in the penitentiaay. Martin is doing two years which was given him a few weeks ago. Both he and his wife were taken to the peniten-tiary this afternoon. . ' ' Notice. A..C. Ivens, who has been for a few days soliciting, is "O longer an author-ized agent of Tiik Timks company.

Wilton llarrett a "Claud Ian" at the Salt Lake Theater. , One of the largest and most brilliant audiences that ever assembled within ils walls witnessed the, performance of "Claudian" by tho Wilson Barret t com-pany at the Salt Lako theater last even-ing. Of the phi' itself itis not proposed to treat, save to say that it is an im-possible and unreal ' classical melo-drama, with many fine situations, beautiful scenery and inagniliccnt cos-tumes. The language is poetical aud pathetic, ami tho interest centers in tho fate of a dessoluto and licentious young Koman noble, upon whom, in tho prologue, a curso is pronounced by an aged . early Christian nionk, who condemns him to live a century, still retaining youth, but restoring only the curso upon those whom ho may love. This young Roman is Claudian, and as portrayed by Mr. Barrett, the char-acter assumes all tho beauties one is led to expect from a penitent, who while loving the fair young wife of an arti-za-and who lives him in return, dares not make his love manifest for fear of injuring her. One attempt at carress-in- g her results in her being struck blind, and ever after he resists his own inclinations and her wish, with torture to himself aud pain to her. Tho acting of Mr. Barrett is perfect throughout. Kvery move, every gesture, every step he takes combine grace and ease, the unstudied nature ofowhich is Indicative of constant study and hard work, the evidences carefully concealed by his eonsumate art. Mr, Barrett's reading is a poem in itself. One can listen with closed eyes and still enjoy; .ind his climaxes are always well brought out in a manner so thrill ing as to convey the impression that Claudina and the fourth century are a living reality, ami that the nineteenth century aud Wilson Barrett have no place in the surroundings. Mr. Barrett is also very painstaking in even tho smallest details. The play has been mounted under his per-sonal direction, and there is not an auchorism visible nor a point missed in any position of the drama which the most critical eyo can detect.' The support afforded Air. Bar-rett is excellent. Miss Kastlako makes a charming Almida, aud in her blind-ness creates a sympathy amounting to pity. Her voice is not good, however, unless it bo that the lady was suffering from hoarseness last evening. In the prologue the scene in tho cave, when the curse is pronounced, is ex-ceedingly beautiful; and later on, when fho predicted earthquake occurs and tho whole city tumbles into ruins about Claudian and Almida, realism caunot be more closely simulated, nor can fancy picture nature's augry mood more graphically. The audience w as in instant sympathy with Mr. Barrett, from his first coming on in the prologue until the. death of Claudian in the third act; and numer-ous calls before the curtain wero mado and responded to amid unmistakable evidences of enthusiastic delight. This evening Mr. Barrett will appear in "The Silver King," which is said to bo his greatest part. CLEVELAND'S MINSTRELS AT THE UUAND. Decidedly tho best troupe of minstrels that has over visited Salt Lake began an engagement of six uights and two mati-nees at the Grand last evening. There was a packed house, standing room even being at a premium, and tho laughter, merriment and applause was continuous throughout tho perform-ance. Len Soim-r- s makes a fine inter-locutor, and Billy Kice is just as funny as ever as tambourine end man, only more so. Billy has become somewhat rotund in his proportions,' and thisadds to his always comical appearance. Raymond Shaw has a phenomenal voice for a man. It ranges between a contralto and a mezzo-sopran- and his rendering of the new ballad, "A Curl From the Baby's Head," was rap-turously received. The choruses were especially line, and, as is always the case in minstrelsy, the low refrains charmed as well as enthused the listen-ers. The make-u- p of the troupe in the in-troductory portion of the programme was an innovation upon old-tim- e meth-ods, the participators being costumed so ns to represent dark skinned Vene-tians of tho thirteenth century. Mr. Somers announced that the Cleveland: will appear at the Grand every evening this week and at mat-inees Wednesday and Saturday after-noons. Real Kitate Note. Ha umi & Scott eoiisumaledadeal this morning by which they sold thirty-seve- n and one-hal- f acres of ground on the west side to a Mr. Mclntyre of Washington.
