The otinir tiny Mr. Matthews received a message 'from hiN sister in London which stated thut his mint, living near Wimbledon, England, is ill and dnsire to sue her nephew. As she is very wealthy Mr. Matthews will no donlit ho handsomely remembered, lie will return to Salt Lake as soon as possible. There will be more property sold for delinquent taxes of lHiiO thnn has been within the past lire years. In lK6only a dozen piece s of property were sold to pay delinquent taxes. There are over 200 additions to Salt Lake anil the greater part of the sales to begin soon will be of lots in these additions. AMUSEMENTS. Louis James will begin a three nights' ongagemeut at the theater next Mon-day evening, supported by a large and evenly balanced company. Mr. James is well known hi Salt Lakeas a versatile and cousciutious artist. He quickly won recogni-tion when he left Barrett's support to star about seven years ago, aud has been one of the few prosperous actors of tragedy in America. Ilia repertory for the engagement is a strong ona. Opening Monday night in "Macbeth." ho will be scon in "lngomar" Tuesday evening and on Wednesday niirht the romantic "lay, "The Marblo Heart," will bo given. The scenery and cos-tumes are new aud elegaut. TO THE PUBLIC. It is well known that when myself and friends gained control of the Elec-tric Light and Gas Works last March, both were wholly inadequate to meet tho demands made upon them by the city, which has taken on such a sudden growth. Immediately upon assuming the management I began preparations for extensive improvements, aud have made them as fast as money could ac-complish it. We have expended some-thing like two hundred thousand dollars on the two works. Tho Elec-tric light works are now not ouly fully up to the needs of tho city, but far in excess. Wo have a capacity for about seven thousand incandescent lights, and the wl.olo city is only using about twelve to fifteen hundred. We can, therefore, accommodate tho public at short notice to tivo thousand lights more. I sincorely hope there will be demand for them, as wo would like to make interest on tho money invested, which we havo not begun to do. The gas works only had twenty-on- e retorts for tho manufacture of gas when I assumed charge. We are just finish-ing twelve additional retorts which wo expect to start on Saturday or Sunday next. It will therefore be seen that there will be no lack of gas to meet every possible demand, and it is also known that notwithstanding the fact that there is considerably over $,'!00,0(t() invested in the two plants the stockholders are not getting a dollar in divideuds of earnings for nearly a year; on tho contrary, they are putting money in as fast as they ran hire men and get material. I lira surprised at the onslaught on our company last evening, being niado by those who should be acquainted with the facts. We are doing all any human could do to serve the public, and they will be served to their satisfaction. All I ask is that it bear in mind the very siiort time which 1 have had to make the above improvements. The only reason that our improve-ments are not ready is that the Laclede Fire Brick company of St. Louis, with w hom we had contracted for our ma-terial, had their works totally destroyed by tire after having taken our contract, which caused us a delay of probably two months. No ono would certainly be unreasonable enough to claim that this delay, under those circumstatices, could have been avoided. FltANK H.

A Story of Vog right mul How They are Conducted While Christian I'.ople Oo to Church The fcvlilmce la Still In Progress. The caso of Humanity s. Mike Cata-lan, w ho is chargod by Captain (irceu-man- , the avenging angel of the o society with having Imoii guilty of dog lighting and with fostering a diy with belligerent aims, was called at 11 o'clock before Commissioner Nor-rel- l. County Attorney Murphy ap-peared for tho prosecution and Samuel Lewis, esq., for tho defense. Tho sergeant smiled a toothful and derisive smile ns he reviewed the troop of witnesses that hu-manity had recruited, and sat himself on tho window sill through which a blade of wind was thrusting itself. Finally, and Dot until the wit-nesses wero almost haggard with de-lay the examination was begun. Wit-nesses for the prosecution testified that the defendant, Sergeant Michael Cant-Ian- , had been at a dog tight aud that his beast had participated iu it. That he was there as a spectator and that ho aided aud abetted it. It re-quired some time to develop this fact and the session was ad-journed to meet agaiu this afternoon, at which time the case was remanded. The prosecution reitiug, evidence for the defense began, and at this hour Sergeant Cantlan is introducing testi-mony to establish an alibi. Tin case is exciting interest, no only in police circles, but among tin- - public generally. (iava Him the t'lnm, Complaint was made at police head-quarters today of a fellow who sub-scribes himself as Harry Franks and agaiust whom it is charged that he is working his way without resources aud on his linger. D. J. Williams the repre-sentative of Collier & Co. states that a short time ago the genius iu question went to the Vallev hotel and to secure his board and lodgings deposited a draft with the proprietors for collec-tion. It is surmised that he was under tho impression that the draft would be sent iu by mail and until it was heard from he would bo provided with a place at which to eat and sleep. Not so. Fate was against him. A telegram was sent to the parties at Fresno, Cal., and a prompt reply revealed the fact that Franks had no claim whatever upon them. Mr. Williams then took him into his confidence and, according to Williams' story, gave him a canvassing outtit. That uight ho is said to have turned in three bogus orders, on which he obtained security for his board. The deception was exploded the fol-lowing day, and Franks was again left on his ours. Williams pronounces him a dangerous man, and so advises the public. An effort was made to tind Franks by the police that he might give his story but it was vain. Motion aud Demurrers.

Colorado Capital Makes a Bonafide El" deavor to Get a Place in Utah Dirt and Minos, ME. WILLIAM8' MONOLOGUE. The Future of Zien Dopendent on tha. Sair.e Ecsources at Those That Fed and Fattened Denver. Mr. W. H. Williams, a prominent capitalist of Colorado, is in the city.ao-compani-by his charming and aecom plished wife. Mr. Williams has his confidence iu the ultimata grandeur and magnitude of Zion in a variety of ways, conspicuous among them being his investment in real es-tate, upon which be has already real-ized Uasdnania Margins, "Colorado," said he with a Colora-ilon'- s proverbial devotion to his commonwealth, "never saw a time when the sea of capital fiat litis there wanted an outlet so badly as it docs at this time. Men who have been enriched by tho mines, men who have drawn capital prizes from the real estate booua " "In Hoover?" "Yes, Colorado is located in that lato," exclaimed the gentleman some-what ironically, "but as I was about to remark when You. Intarruptd the Spirit, tho men who have drawn for tunes from the unprecedented pros-perity of Colorado are all looking for a locality in which they may invest witu a view to becoming useful citizens of that locality." "That's what's tho matter," shrieked Colonel T. Why? Wiekersham, through whose instrumentality Mr. Williams had been induced to make his Salt Lko iuvestinc nts. "Yes," resumed Mr. Williams, "you have interrupted the spirit agaiu. Ail Wat A boat to Itemark, Colorado, nnd more especially its pro-vincial towns and miuing camps in which the surplus accumulations wants a tield for investment. Dcnvci, of "oiiise, is stationary and " "That's what's the mat " "Don't interrupt the spirit, Colonel vVickershani. What the capital of the camps now wants is a safe place in which to locate, and tho attention of a large number is directed towards Halt Lake City. I might mention the names of a hun-Ire- rt w ho have invested here and who would not deliver for a margin of 50 I er cent on the outlay. "Fax, bovs, fax," exclaimed the irre-pressible "Wick." "And these deals have brought others lo tho auctioneer's stand. I don't want to tell tales, but I am informed and i his is Colorado information that Mr. i!. L. Chamberlain has taken the initia-tive in a project that looks forward to one of the biggest building companies that have ever anticipated the future requirements of tho frontier. I am in-formed that in addition to the blocks that are to be built for comraercial pur-poses he and his associates have in vietr the erection of several terraces on rood-r- n style and architecture, and this mice started Yon Mnj Locik for a class of dwellings such as adorn the thoroughfares of Denver. But while tho people of Salt Lake and Utah are catering to the demands for real estate they should not overlook the demand for mining interests. There is tho Leadville contingent, who want mines. To some of them a real estate deal is a nightmare. There isn't thrill enough about it. It's too tame. They want the dogged despondency of disaster or tho excitement of success. A quick turn, No Matter What the Reautt, is the principle that governs them, Speculation, my boy, speculation." "Correct." shrieked Wiekersham. 'I've had some experi " "There you are again. But don't overdo your mining industry. That's what has made Denver, and, mark w hat I say, that's what the future of Salt Lake depends on. Corn, wheat, oats and fruit are al! right but for ma irivo me tho resources that havo made Denver the silver from the mines. Let Me Tell Yon a secret, that Colorado fears Utah as a rival more than sho does Montana for there she has to compete with a copper product while here she has to meet sil-ver and gold. But there's my carriage! Good day. SHE LOOKS TO UTAH. Tha Dependence of Colorado and Ita Smelters Upon the Lead Resources of the Territory, GREAT LOSSES OF THE SMELTERS. Effects of tie Manifesto on the Idle Millions of the Centennial Stato and Its Many Camps, As a sequel to the departuro of Charlie Driver, who looked over the Held with a view to the location of a sampler, comes the Hon. J. K. Rock-well to tako up tho thread of his re-searches. Colonel l'enhole has not yet reported, although that is no evidence of suicide or voluntary retirement from tho field of battle. Learning of Mr Hockwoll's presencein thecity, a Times interviewer called upon him at the Con-tinental hotel, where ho is awaiting thu arrival of his family. Tho judge is al-ways "at home'J when tho subject mat-ter interests Salt Lake City in tho future of which he Is largely interested. 'Mr. Driver," said he, "is most favor-ably impressed with the inducements to put up a sampler here ami we shall be-gin building in a short time. 1 don't know, nor docs he, of a location that offers greater inducements anil I am conviuced that eventually thero will bo as tierce a competition for The Handling- or I' tali Urea an there s ior the product of Colorado. You can scarcely have an idea of the inter-est that is now taken in this country. The only draw back at this time is the fact thtt Utah remains a territory anil that unsettles things. Was the question of statehood decided I know of no country that would go forward with more rapid or substantial growth. However, the manifesto recently pro-mulgated by President Woodruff has practically opened a way to young Utah ami guaranteed the ulti-mate supremacy of that clement. This has stimulated conhdonee iu Utah in-vestments, and then agaiu the impres-sion obtains that tho heads of the church are iu sympathy with the times and that polygamy having been abjured, tliey are ready to work for the future gran-deur of a territory for the grandeur of which they have laid such A t Foundation. If the church is sincere, and I believe it is, in its elimina-tion of that clause in its creed it can bo but a short time before Utah's admis-sion to the sisterhood is secured. This will quiet all apprehension on tho part of the capital and it will come in as never before. "What about Utah ores and their re-lation to Colorado?" "To be candid with you tho Colorado smelters must necessarily appeal to the leatt product of Utah for their prosper-ity. You sen since the era of carbonates closed in Colorado, and the low grade, refractory sulphide began to predomi-nate tho smelter must appeal to this territory for relief. Tho lead product hero in fact is so essential to the profit-able handling of Colorado ores that it would be dillicult for tho latter to pros-per without it." "So that the Centennial state." in- - terposed tho interviewer, "is practi-cally dependent on tho I'ruaperltjr of tha I'tahMine for tho maintenance of its present grandeur?" f "So; I decline to be quoted in that way, aud, mark you, while 1 love Colo-rado more, I do not love Utah less. The advance in silver and lead has stimulated the product of both metals, and the smelters are not glutted. This is keeping all the furnaces in full blast and leaves a surplusage. So much of a surplus, in fact, that Leadville and Aspen, tho two principle camps of the state, have been requested to shrink their output. ' A telegram reports the losses in the decline of silver as trememdous." "Thoso wero principally, if not alto-gether, hypothetical. You will under-stand that the smelters bought silver at prices ranging from .) to $1.19, but they were not forced by any financial infirmity lo unload their bullion. Had it been so they would have, sustained a loss of over a half million dollarn. but that was not necessary, and now comes The Taylor Hill that contemplates the taking up of all the surplus probably twelve million ounces aud that of lfself is sufficient guarantee against any further decline, so that the smelters may congratulate themselves that they have a prospect, a substantial prospect of making money instead of losing. These assur-ances, however, have not disturbed their Olympus-lik- gall, however, for smelter charges have been ad-vanced and the miner the homey-hande- d knight of tho pick and shovel tire called on to make up whatever shrinkago they may havo sustained. There was always something philan-thropic, you know, about tho smelter furnace in Colorado that, iu tho lan-guage of tho lordly Limberg, has been losing money for years past. But you havo '.1111011110(1 me," nnd tho judge, sliding into his overcoat, fell into the embrace of a real estate broker who had been norvously pawing at the door. IN"lIMESTONE. " Force of Nature Carve the Face of the Kuvlour In a Murvelotia Maimer. There is at present temporarily resid-ing iu Albany a lady who has in her pos-session a wonderful freak of nature. It is merely a piece of limestone, but carved most lnarvelonsly by tho forces of nat-ure into a face the face of Christ iu death. To a reporter Mrs. Oliver T. Bacon, tho lady referred to, told tho story of her prized curiosity. Mrs. Bacon said: "Overhanging tho village of Oberam-merga- ti is a high mountain peak held in reverence by tho villagers, who consider it their guardian angel. After witness-ing the Passion Play of Sept. 12. 1SW, I made the ascent of this mountain. A few flowers for pressing Bitd two small bits of rock as souvenirs were taken near the summit, the latter remaining in my pocket two weeks. Later on, with a number of curios purchased, a box was packed and shipped to Georgia. Moro than eight years after u fire oc-curred iu the Young Men's library, where tho cases were stored. "Iu relabeling tho curios injured by water this package containing two peb-bles was uncovered. Although rough and unhewn, in a certain angle Ruben's 'Conception of Christ,' in death, sud-denly stood out, the drooping mouth moro drooped, the tytn closed in an eter- - lial sorrow; the brow plowed deeply in furrows of pain, the nostrils grown thin through lack of breath; tho whole face weary and sorrowful with tho weight of the world's fin." Mrs. Bacon is from Atlanta, (3a. AfUr talking about the curio for some time pile iroduced a velvet sack. Within th sack was was a silver ca.se, like a watch case, and in it was the simple yet won-derful piece of stone. Holding it at a certain angle the faco full of suffering wan easily seen. The freak is truly won-derful. As yet it has only been viewed by a few persons. Tho Rev. S. F. Smith, D. D., author of "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," writes from Newton (Vnter, Mass., Sept. 8, 13110: "The pebble, about half an inch in length, casually picked up by Mrs. Ba- - con on Mount Christus, near Oberam- - mergau, is a most remarkable freak of fracture, seeming as if it were the fruit of design, and the design of a skilled artist. It requires no effort of imagina-tion to see in it the head of tho Buffering, dying Christ, vivid in form and expres-sion. The pebble is only a fragment of reddish limestone. The cnrioBiry is that the fracture should exhibit so pathetio end exact a portrait. MrH. Bacon sets a high value on the gem and regards it al-most with reverence. It is certainly re-markable thut a little stone, picked up without selection from the common road as a mere souvenir of the place and di-rectly following the performance of tho 'Passion Play' at Oberammergau, should present so touching a form." Of it Bishop Doane said: "I have had the privilege of seeing the pebble found by Mrs. Bacon on Mount Christus, near Obcrammergau. It arrests the atten-tion and arouses the reverent amaze-ment of tiny one to whom it is shown. Dr. Smith's description of it is very ac-curate, aud no otib, I am euro, can look upon this curious natural product with-out great interest and wonder." Assistant State Geologibt Merrill says concerning the stone: "I have had the pleasure of seeing the pebblo which Mrs. O. T. Bacon has brought from Obcram-mergau, and consider it tho most re-markable example of accidental resem-blances which I havo ever observed in j so small a stone. The material is lime-- 1 ptone, veined with chert, and the colors of the two substances contrast in such a manner as to delineate, with much ex- - actness, a human face. No tool appears to have touched it. The surface seems to be entirely duo to fracture aud abra-sion." Albany Argus. F. II. Iyr on One. Frank II. Dyer, when he read The Times' article exposing the poor qual-ity of gas, was full of wrath. He had been shoveling money into the old plant with a big scoop, and didn't like The Times' write-u- p worth a cent. In fact, he would like the matter stopped, or ho would know the reason why. He had taken the oltl plant when it was a total wreck, and had poured mouey into it like water to secure gas works that would meet the demands of the grow-ing city. He claimed that the new electric light works had capacity enough to meet every demand in lact that 80 per cent of tho capacity was idle for want of more patrons. The city, he claimed, was getting better service and cheaper lights than any city in the west. The price was but $12.50 per lamp, while Denver, with two competing companies, the price is $13. Ogden pays for its arc lights $18. Hutte 120, Helena $18 and Chicago, with cheap fuel, $18. Tho city owns one-thir- of the gas stock, while tho public schools hold an-other third. The city also owns one-fift- h of the electric light works. The increase in the value of the plant, over what it was when Mr. Dyer took hold of it, pay tho street lighting bills for two years to come. The dividends which tho city will receive on its inter-est at the end of that time will be equal to the city receiving free light on tho streets. Mr, Dyer asserts that he has tho d electric light plant in the country, and that as soon as he has all the machinery in good working order he will be able to supply as line light as is enjoyed by any other city.

A number of enthu-- siasts there have decided to make the venture. j Johnny Campbell looks sad and says little every time Tournament wins a big stake by a sixteenth of a mils. Ho could have bought the great colt for $10,000ia tho spring, but, as he puts it, "was tout-ed off him" by a friend. The death of Vigilant removed an-other old timer from the New Jersey tracks. While never a remarkably re-liable performer, he generally managed to pull his backers out of any hole into which he plunged them. A sporting authority says: "Nelson has broken his record five times this year, and has now established a reputa-tion second to none.

It Is polite when you have offended any ' one or hurt his feelings in any way tc apologize fur it as clearly as possible, without reservation or excuse, since the more vulgar a man is the more does he obscure and degrade an apology by self justification. It is polite to express an interest in or admiration of that which is dear to others. It is sometimes more polite to accept a gift or a courtesy, esjtecially from humble people, than to refuse it; and it is polite to show the utmost kindness and courtesy to those who have been re-duced by adversity. And it is some-thing more than polite to interpose and shield another person from mortification, wounded self respect and loss of dignity. Jean Johnson in Jenness-Mille- r Maga-zine. Renrling fnnn Duty. Possibly, then, ono should read from a sense of duty to others? Never! Never! Who that is a lover of good books has not Iteen annoyed by the rabble who are toadies to good books? Who pnt them in conspicuous places in their conversa-tion as they push the visiting cards of! the upper one hundred into prominence on their tables? The insufferable, un- - j warranted conceit of these readers from duty! W'hy, a book lover is charmed into a blessed humilit y in tho presence of his author, and mentions him in con- - j versation as one wpuld lift the curtain of somo precious shrine. ' And then, though some few can talk showily as a result of this duty goaded reading, none can talk to edification, Usually tho conversation ot such readers amounts to this: "Have I read the 'In-most Revelations of Susy Thrilling?" Why, of course! Every one reads it, you know. Gladstone wrote a review of it, you know. Lct'Bsee. It came out iu the Seavell Square library, didn't it? Number 3,139. Double number, and forty cents.

"My maid has gone homo sick, and I want you to go wiih me to carry the baby. You can do it well enough if you only think so." The boy did not think so at all, but he had no way out of it, and for three hours ho boro tho infant until he feared that his anus would come out of their sockets.

Mrs. Elizabeth Peabody, the noted philanthropist of Boston, is very feeble physically, but her mind is still bright and active. Louise Montague, the former Fore-paug- h ''$10,000 beauty," has created a decided sensation in religious circles in San Francisco by joining church and herself entirely to works of piety and charity. Under the firm name of Elita et Cia, the Misses Barrett, daughters of Wilson Barrett, the tragedian, have entered the j ranks of fashionable dressmakers in Lon-do- n, and in a short time have secured a valuable trade.

A Glrl'g Heasoning. Thero was a girl whose logical turn of mind was her destruction. She could rea-- 1 son with Euclid, but the culinary results which her reasoning brought her were peculiar.

She found the girl trying to melt down some uncooked pie cru.st, having argued that as pie crust was made of butter and flour, and dra wn butter gravy was made of butter and flour, she had only to melt down the pie crust to get drawn butter gravy. Boston Transcript. One Way of Arresting a Boll. The first indication of a boil is a slight itching, followed by a reddish pimple with a hair in the center. Sometimes tho pulling out of this hair will arrest the development of the sore. As the pimplo grows tho redness extends and becomes moro intense, and the part be-gins to throb with pain. In about five days it breaks, pus oozes out, the pain abates, and soon after the dead tissue the so called "core" escapes, followed by rapid healing. Sometimes no core appears, nor does the boil suppurate. This is known as the "blind boil." It is very hard and painful, and is long iu Dealing. Youth's Companion.
