Subscription to the Dallj Times. 12 months tMO t : .( 8 " i ; ...i. ,7 (Always in advance.) Saturday, mayIqTIwo-- " A LtBKL ON SALT IAKK. A few (lays ago a man named Ernest Rial!, of Omaha, spent about two hours in Salt Lake, i Upon his'Teturn to Omaha ho had himself' inter-viewed in tho Bee. His Interview is principally devoted to the laud-ation of Ogdou and the libel of Suit Lake City.' We 'do not blame Mr. ltiall for praising Ogden, but we him as u libeller of Salt Lake. He xays, among other things, that ho "found real estate prices about one-fift- h of what they are in Salt Lake. In the latter place the boom has flattened. Prices are us high, if not higher, thuu in Omaha, and every one is a seller and not enough buyers to go around. Just tho reverse as to Ogden. People aro not anxious to sell and there are plenty of buyers." When it is considered that Mr. Riall renders this verdict upon a two hours' visit in Salt Lake City, any sensiblo man ,will at once conclude that Mr. Riail' must either be a fool or a delib-erate liar. The Times does not hesitate to say that in its opinion he is both. Ho was influenced to make his false state-ments by certain Ogden real estate men who ought to have more manhood and decency than to resort to contemp-tibl- o tricks to injure a neighbor that does not in any way interfere with their sehomes. Tho Omaha Bee knows what kind of a man Rlall is, and we are surprised that it permitted any snch interview to appear in its columns. It should have known that any such statements coming from Kiall were open to suspicion. Kiall's inter-view however, will not injure Salt Luke to any great extout among people who know him. We believe that if the usual carefulinspeotion of copy in tho oWeo of tho Omaha Bee had been exer-cised ' tho Illall intervlow would not have been published, in that paper. We happen to know that tho Ogden boomer, C. E. Muynb, landed In Omaha about the same time that Wall returned home, and if we aro not mistaken ho went to Omaha on tho same train with him. Tho inference is that tho libelous interview was suggested by Mayno, who is praised to the skies by Riall. LITERARY LIGHTS. The first poet laureate was John Kay, in the reign of Edward IV. One of the perqui-sites of tbe office was 1500 a yenr. Murat Hnlstead has been writing for the paper continuously for forty years. He is one of the hardest workers in the profession. Andrew Lang and Rider Haggard hare written a novel in collaboration, which ii called "The World's Desire," and has for its hero Ulysses. Archduchess Valerie, youngest daughter of the emperor and empress of Austria, is a rival of Carmen Sylva, queen of Rouroania, as a royal poetess. Henri Rocbefort still refuses to take rooms In London except from week to week, and will not learn the English language; he re-ceives very few callers, and passes bis even-ings playing dominoes with a friend, M. Coureau, with half a crown a game as the stake. M. do Cassagnac is formidable because of the skill with which he wields the three ter-rib- lo weapons tongue, pen and sword. He Is a man of powerful stature, dark skinned, dark eyed, and wearing his mass of jet black bair brushed straight back from his forehead. He speaks with a lisping cadence peculiar to southern France. Bir Edwin Arnold says of Walt Whitman: "I think be is the handsomest old man I ever saw, with the bead of Jupiter and strength in every feature; I bad a pleasant interview, sitting for a long time face to face, with his hand on my knee and my band on his; I am more than ever convinced that he is one of the greatest of American writers, for his poetry is wonderful I" Marlon Crawford is pictured as follows: "He is over six feet in height, with broad shoulders, small feet and a large head, the latter hninir well covered with a nrof usion of brown hair; a beard of the same conceals the lower part of his fane; a fine but rather large tnoutb fs partially hidden by a mustache of the same hue as his beard; his teeth are band-som- e and his smile exceedingly sweet." David Christie Murray, the novelist, is a little above the medium height, but looks older than his years, which are not quite 43; he has a sparse brown beard plentifully streaked with (fray, and the most sympathetic of manners; he began his literary life as a reporter, and having gone through the Russo-Turkis- h war, abandoned journalism for Ac-tion, to which he has since contributed many readable volumes.

The proposed soarch for natural gas In the Immediate vlcenity of Salt Lake should bo begun at once and pushed with all possible vigor. Homo capital will be required for this purpose, but thoro will be but littlo difficulty in ob-taining it. There are strong indications of natural gas hero, and if a supply can be discovered it will create a genuine boom in Salt Lako City. Wherever natural gas has boon discovered it has made largo cities out of villages, and has been tho means of building up great manufacturing centers in a very short time. Natural gas would make of Salt Lako ouo of tho most important manufacturing points in this country, and would within two years lucreaso Iter population from its present liguro of 60,000 to 100,000.

SUNDAY SCUOOL ENTERTAINMENT. , A goodly number of people assembled in the vestry of the First Methodist Episcopal church last night, the occa-sion being a benotit entertainment to aid in providing suitablo furniture' arid other improvements for tho Sunday school class of tho church. An enjoy-able programme was rendered, and at its conclusion the young ladies tserved ice cream and cake " ORCHESTRAL AND VOCAL CONCERT. A grand orchestral and vocal concert will be given next Tuesday evening in Calder's music, hail. Some of Salt Lake's best talent will take part, and the concert will no doubt prove a most enjoyable entertainment. The piano to be used on this occasion will be a magnificent Steiuway Grand from D. O. Calder's music palace. A splendid pro-gramme lias been arranged for this concert, which is to bo given under the direction of II. S. Krouso. The follow-ing is the PROGRAMME: I .

Occasionally, however, he makes a miss. It must be remembered that Mr. Burgess acts solely from a business point of view, and in' renting the build-ing he is not responsible for tho excel-lence or delicieuces of thoso who secure it. Only twice this season has he placed upon his stage inferior perform-ances, therefore the truly delightful amusements which ho has given us should ontweigh tho two slips which have occurred by rea-son of meretricious troupes getting iu to Jill dates when tho Grand would olheiwlsc have been closed. Tho St. Felix Sisters opened tho week with "A Royal Hand," a miserable piece of nonsenso which placed the sis-ters, who aro really good in everything they do, at a tremendous disadvantage. The result was non-payin- g business for the two nights. Thursday evening the California Opera company presented the comic opera of "Said Pasha" to a full house; and as every condition of success was fulfilled iu the performance, the en-gagement of three nights and a matinee this afternoon met with hearty recog-nition by Salt Lake's best people. To-night "Said Pasha" will be given for the last time, and the sale of seats indi-cates another good audience. Monday evening next tho Grand will be occupied by children's fancy dances in what is called "A Butterfly Ball," given by Miss Almy's classes. Wednesday evening the ladies of St. Paul's Episcopal church will give a "lj,ay Festival" at tho Grand. Exten-siv- o preparations have been made for this event, aud tho ladies should be greeted by a full house. The feature of the week will bo Rhea as "Josephine" Friday and Saturday ovoniugs. Tho play is an historical one, and is founded on incidents aud events in the lives of Josephine and Napoleon. It is highly spoken of iu the cast, and Rhea is sure to appear to ad-vantage in whatever she undertakes. AT THK SALT LAKE THEATElt. Dr. Harrison gave illustrated lectures for gontlemeu Monday and Wednesday evenings to good audiences. Friday evening tho Halleu & Hart company begun a two nights' engage-ment and produced a farce-comed- y en-titled "Later On." The piece has been seen here before, but its ensemble has been greatly improved since then. It abounds in lots of fun, pretty girls, and line singing, and will, no doubt, till the theater tonight, as it did last evening. Mr. Halleu. Annie Lewis, and Mr. Sul-livan are tho life of the entertainment, which as a whole U is verv creditable. Tuesday evening the Ladies' Musical society, under the direction of Professor Krouse, will give one their delightful concerts. The orchestra will consist of twenty-on- e pieces, and there are some very tine voices among the ladies who compose this admirable society. After next w eek Wilson B irrett'will have a season of three nights. The dates Imve uot yet Icon deth'titelv fixed If there is any one who has auy fear about Salt Lake's future, let him read nver tho list of new buildings now in course of construction aud he will be convinced that this city is having a wonderful growth, and that she is building on a sure foundation. A Comparison. James Whitcomb Riley. I'd lather lay out here among tho trees, With the elngin' liirds an' the bum'l bees, thet I cau do as I please. Than to live what folks call a lilo of oaso Up thar In the city. For I really don't nactly underslau' Where the comfort is fer auy man In walking hot hrlcks an' unIii' a fan, An' enloyln' himself us he says he can, Up thar in the city. It's kinder lonesome, inebbe you'll say, out here day after day In this kinder easy, careless way, But a hour out here Is better'n a day Up thar in the city. As fer that, Jus' look at the flowers aroun', their heads up all over the grouu', An' the fruit the trees 'way dowu. You don't tind such things as these In town, ,. Or rather in the city. ; ' ' , As I said afore, such things as these, The (lowers, the birds an' bum'l bees, An' out here among the trees Where you can take your ease an' do as you please, , t Makes it better'n the city. Now, all the talk don't 'mount to snuff, 'Bout this kinder life rough, . An' I'm sure it's plenty good enough. An' 'tween you 'an me 'taln't half as tough As llvln' in the city. . HINTS TO TEACHERS. Discipline with the eye as far as possible. Elevate the tone of mental work a trifle each day. Elevate the moral tone of the class in every recitation. Leave as little room to luck in class work as possible. . Effective expression is not receiving the at-tention it demands. The individuality of the pupil should be generally preserved. The best educational principles apply to the teaching of any subject. Attempt nothing in which the chances are against its accomplishment. School work should heighten appreciation of tbe beautiful as well as of the true. So focus your teaching that the children shall see the reason for a thing about as soon as they know the fact. To discipline is to disciple. This is a highly suggestive thought, and ought both to soften discipline and make it more effective. , In teaching principles and processes, deal with facts and figures so simple aud well known that nothing shall distract the pupils' minds from the principle or process. Jour-nal of Education. Mrs. Sol Smith has been engaged for the production in this city next season of "Blue Jeans." A manager in the west writes to in-quire if "Ten Nights in a Barroom" is a tank drama. The title is certainly mis-leading. . v It. (t. Knowles has found a congenial role in Judge Jack . in "A Pair of Jacks," and his comedy work is said to provoke a great , deal of laughter at every performance. . .. Hazel Sclden, who has been play ing leading business this season in the com-pany of Lillian Lewis,, is to create the principal female comodv role in "The Vendetta", at jts production on May 19 at the National theater, Philadelphia. . The regular season at Hammorstein's Harlem Opera Houso closes ou Satur-day night. Oii next Monday, Mr. Hamnicrstein will beglu a sumnier sea-son of light opera, with the Conrcid Opera company in "The King's Fool." T. C. Howard,' manager of tho Ed-ward P. Sullivan company, has been conttned' to his bed for the past two weeks with an attack of inflammatory rheumatism, which was brought on by exposure during tho company's recent cugagemcnt in Baltimore. John M. Turner's New York Concert company with a strong array of instru-mental soloists is to appear at Jacques Opera house, Waterbury, Conn., on Slav 8. The programme will also include a number of vocalists and humorists. Thomas Guilfoyle, a boy 13 years of age, died at his home in Brooklyn last Thursday from convulsions superin-duced by fright, brought on by a slight panic in the Gaioty Theater on last Tuesday evening. Some of the scenery took fire, but was quickly extinguished. "The Waifs" of New York, with Katie Emmett in the stellar role, is meeting with great success on the Pacific coast. At tho Alcazar theatre in San Fran-cisco tho houses were crowded nightly, and Manager Harry Williams has al-ready booked for the return of the com-pany to California next season. The changes made in "Guilty Without Crime," which was produced by Dore Davidson and Ramie Austen at the People's theatre, in New York seem to have proved of material benotit. The houseswere large throughout the week, and the play and stars were warmly received, , A gani3 of baseball between nines composed of employees of the Four-teenth Street theatre and the Bijou, will take place at the Brotherhood grounds, at One Hundred and Fifty seventh street aud Eighth avenue, tomorrow (Snndav) afternoon for the benefit of John Sloan, a stage hand, who has lost his eyesight. The object is a worthy one and a large audience will doubtless be present "ChezL'Ouclo Tom" is the name of a 'new" play that rural managers will do well to avoid. "It may be wise to state, says a victimized contemporary, that the scene is laid iu the Sunny south, and that the chief agonizer is a large aud able-bodie- d Ethiopian with a highly polished ebony bald spot, whose vicissitudes while acting as personal property and collateral security, are the theme of the play." I'OOTLIGHT FLASHES. Mary Berrell of Margaret Mather's company, is to sail for Europe in Juno. Frank Dupree is at work on a new version of "Fogg's Ferry" for Lizzie Evans. Walter B. Woodall has been re-e- n gaged by Daniel Frohman to plav in "Tho Prince and the Pauper" next season. Henry Napier has been engaged to play juvenile parts in E. P. Sullivan's company. Beatrice Ingram, who has recently been acting with Margaret Mather, re- - joined"OuIv a Farmers Daughter" com-- ' pauy at Philadelphia last Monday. Mabel Love, an English actress, has been engaged for Hermann's Travesty company, which will open its season at Herrmann's theater iu the fall. Harold Russell has-be- en as leading man of Cora Tanner's com-pau- y for next season, and is to pluv a prominent part in her new piece, "One Error." Alice King Livingston, of E.

The entire furniture, fixtures, scenery and stage properties of the Brooklvn theater are to be sold at the end of the present season, wheu the building is to be torn down. Tho two Arabs now performing at Koster and Bial's are reported to have written an Arabian drama which is to be produced at one of the uptown thea- - tors iuNcw York in the falu There is a rumor to tho effect that tho powers of Vice-Preside- Holcomb ' of the Union Facittc aro to bo increased. This will be a deserved recognition of Mr. Holcomb's ability as a railroad man; Ho has been tho acting gonoral manager of tho Union Pacilio system for about two years and has proved himself one of tho very best men ever cpnnocted with the practical opuration of tho road. He has won tho coutidence of tho direc-tors of the road, and has made a host Of friends among its patrons. " . ' Bishop O'Connor, who recently re-covered sufficiently to return to Omaha, is again failing, and his death is said to Via near ut hand. In all probability ! Bishop Scanlan of Salt Lake City will bo his successor. Bishop Scanlan lias been endorsed by the clergy of the Omaha diocese, and thoir wishes will very likely be respected.. In that event, this territory will lose one of its most eminent divines, and a man who is bnc of its most respected and beloved citi-zens, while. Omaha can congratulate it-- 1 ' self upon the acquisition. THE LATEST IN JEWELS. A gift that will be appreciated is a gold scarf bolder representing a lawu tennis racquet holding a silver ball. A simple but very attractive jewel is a small gold horseshoe nail, slightly bent and set with emeralds and diamonds, A large brilliaut set iu the center of a black onyx ace of spades shows to good ad-vantage wheu mounted as a scarf pin. A locket of dull Rold representing a cross is apparently the work of Italian artificers. The front of the ornament is beveled glass, through which can be seen a band painted miniature on ivory. A white gold arrow over four inches in length, profusely studded with diamonds of Various sires and represented as piercing a large sapphire in a heart shaped mounting, is in expensive but beautiful laco pin. Jewel-er- a' Weekly. Will any good result from tho Trib-- tiuo's charges against tho city council unless they are proven? Is it not un-just and cowardly to stigmatize tho councilineu as thieves and boodlors in an anonymous manuer aud then let the public draw all sorts of conclusions?
