Used for 750,000 brink for street pav-iu- The following information concern-ing vitritied brick is taken from a pamphlet issued by Secretary L. i. Andrew of the Iowa state board of health, who has spent considerable time in studying this subject from a sani-tary point of view. He says: Public attention is turning to brick. It is no innovation. In the Netherlands of Europe highways have been paved with brick for more than half a century. Iu "West Virginia it has been used for sixteen years in the city of Charleston. In Ohio it has been adopted in several cities, and its mileage is increasing every year. Over 100,000,000 brick for paving have already been contracted for for street work in cities west of tiio Ohio river this season. These facts are gathered from an in-teresting paper on brick pavement read before the manufacturers' bureau of Denver and are presented by Tjie Times for the consideration of tho people of Salt Lake. If brick should bo selected as a street pave-ment in this city it would boom a home industry. Wc believe that excellent paving brick can be manufactured here, aud the industry should by all means be encouraged in every possible way. Machinery to turn out 23.000 brick a day can be set up for $2.").OO0. This is a matter worthy of careful investiga-tion. BRICK Kill STKEET rAVfXi. Brick as a street-pavin- g material is making rapid headway. It' has been found durable, clean, noiseless, aud cheap. These qualities make brick a most dosirable pavement. Among the cities using brick for street-pavin- g pur-poses are Pittsburg, Chicago, Roches-ter, Cleveland, Galesburg, Burlington, la., Bloomington, III., Philadelphia, Omaha, Lincoln, Neb , Beatrice, Neb., McKoesport, Pa., Wheeling, Decatur, III., and many other cities. In Europe there are cities whose streets have been paved with . brick for fifty years. Birmingham, III., has six miles of brick pavement; Decatur, in the same state, has ten miles; Omaha, three miles; Lincoln, six miles; and Beatrice, live miles. In Bloomington brick has been used for street paving for fifteen years, the cost, including grading, cinder bed, sand, labor, and brick, all told, being only $1.03 per square yard. In Decatur, the cost per yard has ranged from $1.83 to $1.42. In regard to durability, J. H. Sargent, of Cleveland, writes: As to the durability ot the brick only this can be salj : After three years of wear lu tho most trying position not a brlpk shows Higns of failure. In the street railway tracks where the Medina stoue are worn into boulders, and after a few year, became so cut beside, the rails by the wagon tires that new stones have to be set along the rails. Tho brick, after three years' wear at the intersection of two thor- - oiiKhfares, botween the rails, where five lines of street railways are continually passing, you can sc arcely see auy wear at all. The brick have no grit to wear away steel or to be worn themselves by the reaction. Upon one of our principal thoroughfares, Detroit street, a niilo and a half of brick pavement has just been constructed for less than 13 cents per square foot less than one-hal- f what the Medina stone would cost. I have great. Interest iu having the best possible kind of pavement In our streets, bnt not a cent'B interest in any par-ticular pavement Itself. Mr. J. P. Hale of Charleston, W. Va., writes that A street paved with brick in 1873 has been used more than any other, and that the pave-ment, after sixteen years of constant use, is iu good aud wound condition. The first block of brick pavement was laid iu Galesburg in 183, and is appa-rently as good today as when laid. A short time ago a brick made by the Galesburg people was taken from the center of a street paved with brick ou oue of the busiest corners iu Burling-ton, Iowa, after several years of wear and shown at a brickmakers' conven-tion in Des Moines, Iowa, and not a man in the whole convention oould tell which side up it had been laid. Maydr Pingree of Detroit, iu a com munication to the common council, under date of February 18, 1SU0, said: If the city government can. artojit a kind of pavement which will cost but little or no more than wood aud will be nearly as durable a stone or asphalt they will confer a great boon on this c lass of property owners. I ain lead to believo from written reports received from where it is in use that brick is this kind of pavement. It can be laid, I am iuformed, for tl.50 to !.(ju per square yard, aud will last many years without repair. Of course, what-ever the runi-acte- of the pavement, there must be a proper foundation. The Chicago, Hurliugtou Ar Quinev Railroad company have ordered brick to pave their w hole. wagon yard in Chi- - cago. Washington, 1). (j., 'has adver- - j AX IMPORTANT KAlI.ROAU. . The news comes from Santa Fe, N. M., that the Rio Grande & Utah rail-road company is to be reorganized, with a view of immediately carrying out the proposed enterprise. A new board of directors has been selected by tho stockholders, and a meeting is being held iu Chicago today. It is expected that arrangements will be made to be-gin work next month on tho construc-tion of tho road, which will connect Durango, Colorado, with tho northwest and tap the Saute Fe road at Algodones. It will strike the Denver & Kio Grande somewhere in tho vicin-ity of Grand Junction, and thus give Utah direct connection with tho the southwest system. This connection will be a great beneiit to this territory. The bonds of tho company have been sold, and there is'now plenty of monoy to build the road. The Durango Trib-une in speaking pf this enterprise says; "The ball has been started to rolling to nid the southern route aud Kico Short Line, and now let the momentum be kept up. Our citizens arc anxious and willing to help this, the most niomcntus' to us of nil enterprises, by substantial aid, and taking the tido at the flow is sure to lead us to fortune."

Women go to the theatre to rave over the grace of this actress and that. They would be more wise if they tried to divine the secret of that grace and to possess themselves of it in practice. To move, it is not always necessary to shift the position of the feet. That is one big secret. The sense conveyed of "repose" and grace and self possession which constitutes so chief a charm of many women on the stage lies largely in this trick of keeping the feet still of taking no more steps than necessary, of moving the body towards the adjacent object rather than getting to it by a sort of dog trot of a stop or two of shifting tho weight easily to one side or another. The "hostess" on the stage greets half a dozen incoming and crowding guests and her grace and "repose" is the admiration of the society matron in the front row. The stage hostess merely sways her well balanced body toward the different ones whom she must greet, now to the right, now to the left there is a grace-ful undulation of movement as through the graceful lines of her figure the change of balance passes this would be cramped into mere jerky awkwardness if with every move she shifted her feet too. The ease and graco of the "walk" women have on the stage is explained by their control of equilibrium the body shifte deftly in poise over each foot as it is advanced at any moment the motion can be arrested, and the figure stands in graceful, perfectly bal-anced repose. The average girl walla all in one, as it were her feet do it all and the body altogether and ramrod stiff is jerked along. There is a pretty charm in the way an actress' feet show under the edge of her gown. Mrs. Kendal, for instance: her feet push gently out, and step by step from the soft edges of her gowns, a womanly grace is somehow suggested. Who does not remember the provok-ing flash of Ellen Terry's quaintly shod feet in "Beatrice" a flash only possible to feet flung surely and freely into mo-tion from well poised hips. The sou-bret- te who "crosses her knees" seems somehow very dainty about it, though her pretty stocking and dainty shoes are so much displayed. Well, the pen-dant foot is prettily poised with too pointed down and instep arched therein lies the daintiness. We all remember Mary Anderson's wonderful exit from the nurse scene in "Juliet" she seemed like a painting of "spring" breathed into life to furnish the airy dance, one pose of which was caught on the canvas; this and her Perdita glory of movement were accomplished only by complete control of equilibrium and perfect elasticity of muscle to its ad-justment. Every woman can learn to walk well every woman slxrttfd. ' EmU v- - SmiwnJi. . COHN BROS New Freslri Gqqh.

A (jlJKSTION OF TJOHTS. A New York opera inauager, who wished to have his troupe photographed in tights for advertising purposes, met with an obstacle to his enterprise in the person of a plucky aud g opera singer named Marion Manolti. She didn't object to appearing in tights on the stage, but she did object to being photographed in that costume as she hail u daughter and many good friends who would be mortified to see her thus continually displayed at all the prominent street corners. Neverthe-less the manager had her photographed by an instantaneous camera w hile she was on the stage. She now brings an injunction against tho exhibition of the photograph, and the injunction will probably be made permanent. It cer-tainly should be. However, the action of tho lady has attracted a great deal of attention to her, and tho amount of ad-vertising she has thus received will bo a hundred times more prolitablc to the company than if she had been photo-graphed in tights without raising any objection. There may bo some people who will say that the whole thing is a. put-u- p job for advertising purposes, as theatrical managers are always devising some shrewd tricks to catch the public attention. Marion Manola has become known to the peo-ple of the United Stales iu a single day through the telegraphic dispatches, aud everybody, of course, will be anxious to see the stage woman who has refused to allow herself to be photographed in tights. Her legs have helped her out a thousand times'-- : more than her voice would ever have done.' ' She proposes to exhibit them on the stage, aud nowhere else. She can now be depended on as a great drawing card. The Times of Saturday will as usual be an interesting twelve-pag- e paper. It is an excellent advertising medium. All display advertisements for that issue should I e handed iu as early as possible tomorrow. National Houeafy. Denver Republican. It is strange that a newspaper of the standing of the Springlicld (Mass.) Re-publican indorses Senator Kdmund's plan for transferring the escheated property of the Mormon church over to tlie public schools of Utah. It is still more strange that it. urges that provi-sion bo made to prevent the Mormons from controlling the public schools of the territory after this money shall be transferred to the school fund. One docs not have to be a defender of Mormouism to see iu this a close re-semblance to tho policy pursued by the persecutors of the protestants iu the sixteenth century. It is the old theory over again, that a government has a right to take away the property of peo-ple whoso views on certain questions do not accord with those ot the govern-ment. That this is unjust aud immoral cannot bo denied by any d man. The fact that tho Mormon church teaches polygamy has very little to do witli the case. Apart from its teaching of the doctrine of polygamy the Mor-mon church has as much right to exist and to hold property as any other church organization in the United States. It is also true that a great ma-jority of the Mormons are not polyga-mist-and that the greater part of the property of that church was contrib-uted by or collected from people who are not polygamisls. The church as a religious organization aud the Mormons who are not polygamisls have rights which are ns much entitled to the pro-tection of the government as the rights of any other church or of any other church members. The truth is, that the Springfield Re-publican, like ninety-nin- e out of a hun-dred of the other newspapers of tho country, is blinded by prejudice against the Mormons. Beyond ail question the Morinpus have done much to forfeit the respect of the American people. They have set at detiauce the laws of the country. They have violated those laws over ami over again. The polygamisls among them have sought to avoid pun-ishment by setting up tho plea that polygamy is with them a matter of re-ligions belief. Tho defense has very properly been rejected by the courts. No man should be permitted to plead his religion in defense of a crime. But on the other hand, no man should make au opponent's religion an excuse for mistreatment of him. Tho men who are guilty of polygamy in the Mormon church might to be pnu-- , ished, but tho men who are not guilty of polygamy ought not to be treated as though they were guilty. If tho pro-perty of the Mormon church shall he taken from that church society and turned over to the public schools of Utah, or if it shall be in any way taken out of the hands of the Mormons, tho act shall stand as a national reproach. Confiscation can never be justified, ex-cept it be as a last resort in the national defense. To say that the Mormons are so great a menace to the American gov- ernment that the confiscation of their property is justified, is absurd. The Ogden Democrat made its in-itial bow to the public on Monday last. It is a seven-colum- n four-pag- e paper, issued every afternoon. It presents a neat typographical appearance, is well edited, and quite newsy. 1 11 local poli-tics it is Liberal, and proposes to labor earnestly for Hie success of that party. The Herald suggests that the Warm Springs be improved by the city. Thk Times seconds the motion. These springs and tho immediate vicinity could bo mado a most attractive and healthful resort. In many cities thero are free public baths. Why not utilize the Warm Springs for the same pur-pose! 1 A New York school teacher left his entire estate of $90,000 to the state. His heirs now propose to contest the will on the ground that tho testator was of un-sound miud. They will probably have but little trouble in breaking the will, For any man who devises his property to the state is regarded as a lunatic by nine persons out of ten. ' " CLIPFEO AJil) CONDENSED.

The glory of the Royal Botanic So-ciety's shows in London has departed. Once they were the event of the season. Dresses were ordered long in advance for them; the clerk of the weather was assailed with vehement potitions by many fair suitors, and the magic circle withiu Regent's Park was the trystiug place foi' hundreds of lovers. But afl that has now passed away. The fat women of Harper, Kan., held a picnic one day last week in a grove three miles east of tho city. Light-weights were barred and no woman was admitted who didn't weigh 200 pounds. The party was purely of the female persuasiou, as the only use that can be made of men at a picnic is to put upswings, and they were not needed,, for obvious reasons. The day was agreeably spent in eating, Grand Secretary. E. V.

The last four bodies are federated, and number 42,000 iu all. Emanuel Willis, who lives oue and a half miles north of Tuscumbia, Mo., killed a monster rattlesnake recently which measured six feet iu length and was twelve inches in circumference. Willis is a liemaker, and lives in a cabin in the woods. His little d child was playing beside tho house, when the father, who was some littlii instance away, heard her scream. Rushing to her assistance he was hor-rie- d to see a lingo rattlesnake chasing his child into the house. The little one ran t tho doorwav, and the suake followed after, when the father, seizing a hoe, severed its head from its body. It had thirteen rattles and a button, and was the largest of its species seen iu those parts for some years, A siugular snake story comes from near rceuvillo. Ala. A very small milk snake, it appears, crawled into the house of a man named Walters, and found a bottle of milk without a cork the bottle being kept for a babv of Mr. and Mrs. Walters. The reptile crawled into the mouth of the bottle and drank freely o f the milk, and it was there when Mrs. Walters came iu. With a scream she seized a broom to kill the reptile, which look fright and started to run, but tt. had drank too much milk. It had gone in without anv trouble, but it unw found it impossible to get out siiul, after pulliuu: the bottle about the i oor tor awhile, it was killed. Kven then il was impossible to tret the suake out ot the bolHc, and tliev'weiv thrown away togtlieor. It was thought that the offer of the Louisiana lottery people of $1,000,000 a year for twenty-liv- e years for a charier covering that period would not be out-bid, but now comes a London man and offers $1,250,000 for the same privilege. It is safe to predict that the Louisiana legislature will sell out the slate to the lottery people who have thoroughly corrupted the community.

"The old overland road between Denver and Salt Lake is now almost ob-literated," writes a correspondent of the Laramio Boomerang from Pollack's rauch on tho Little Laramie. " Ouce," he coutinues, " it was many yards wide aud beaten down by the tramp of many thousands of teams which made their way westward. What a discouraging journey it must have been across bleak country where there was not an in-habitant, and towns were hundreds of miles apart. But, rich or poor, all wero forced to resort to the same mode of travel. The change since then, when 0110 thinks of it, has been wonderful. The old overland trail has almost disappeared from view, its great caravans are no longer seen, and in its place, only a few miles away, the iron horse thunders westward with its travelin g pa laces." What a history would that lie which would recount the thrilling story of this famous road from the day it was first traversed by the California pioneers iu 1849 down lb tho time when the railway spanned the continout and caused it' to be aban-doned. The theme is one worthy of the pen of an Irving. Denver is a city of sensations. Hardly a week passes by without a hor-rible murder beiug committed. There were two murders thero yesterday. A wealthy citizen, while laboring under a temporary aberration of tho mind, shqt his wife and then committed suicide, It is rather singular how such double crimes breed similar ones. A few hours after the one above meutioned had beon committed, a young man met his former employer, who had him 'for embezzlement, and fired three bullets iuto him, aud then twice attempted to shoot himself, but was prevented by a bystander.

Louis Republic has been wonderfully improved during tire past two years. The seeond anni-versary of the new management was eelebrated last Monday by au Issue of forty pages, giving a history of the paper, and a splendid illustrated of St. Louis.' The paper was established In 1808, under the name of the Missouri Gazette. It has had varying fortunes, but is now one of the great newspapers of the country. We congratulate Colonel Jones upon his Mieeess iu bringing The Republic out f its lethargic condition and placing it iu the front rank of American journal-ism in so short a period.
