Garfield Beach and Other Summer Kesorts. The city of Salt Lake has fame which reaches around tho world. Tho population Is about 55.000, and la increasing at a rapid rate. It Is situated at the base ot the Wasatch mountains in a lovely valley, rich In agricul-tural resources and 1h elghteon miles dlBtant fram Oreat Salt Lake. Its elevation above sea level iH 4,350 feet. There are many points of Interest to visitors iu the city and near H. Hero are some of them: The Temple. This magniacent cream-whit- e granite struo-- i turewas begun April H, 1853. It Is 100x200 foet, ' tho walls are 100 feet high, and the towers.whon completed, will be SO feet In height. Over Kl,600,000 have been expended on the Temple, and It Is now neariug completion. In the same square with the temple Is the spa-clo-building called The Tabernacle. Here are held the services of the Mormon rhuroh, and these are attended every Sunday by Immense congregations of people, both Mormon and Gentile, The structure Is oval in shape, seventy-fiv- e feet high and H60xl50 feet In IciiKth and breadth. It ban a seating capa-city of la.OUO people, and here may be heard what Is claimed to be the finest organ in the world. Patti once sang In the tabernacle, and demonstrated thatits acoustic powers are very flue. The Gardo Hons, or Amelia Palace, was built by Brigham Yoiin who willed that it should be the residence of his favorite wife, Amelia Kolsoin Youug. but since his death It has been used as the official residence of dignitaries of the church. ' Brigham Young's Residences, known as the e and the Lion House are structures, curious from as-sociations. These are situated in what was once Hrigham Young's domain, all of which has passed Into other bands, save the large lot In which Is Brigham Young's Grave. This can be reached by passing through the Eagle Gate, an archway in the old mud wall which at one time encompassed Brlgham's pri-vate property. One or two of the prophet's wives repose beside his last resting place. A slab of granite covers the grave and there Is Bpace left near by for tho graves of his other wives. . - Deeeret Museum. This institution is situated on South Tempit street, directly opposite Temple square. 11 contains a large number of Interesting curios-ities, chiefly pertaining to the early history of Utah. It is well worth a visit. ProipectHIU with Its lookout tower commands a splendid view of the elty and its surroundings. The Tithiug Building fiossesses interest as being the general depot collected by the Mormon church from Its disciples. Liberty Park, In the southeastern portion of the city Is a beautiful resort and can be reached by rapid transit trains. The Chamber of Commerce, on Second South street, is visited by those who take an interest iu the commercial standing of the city. There are several large cases con-taining specimens ot Utah's mineralogy which attract much attention. The Grand Opera House. on Second South street, is under able manage-ment and Is handsomely and comfortably fitted up. Some of the best talent In the coun-try is constantly passinK between the Atlantic and the Pacific and Salt Lake City is always made a stopping place for performances, either the opera house or the Salt Lake Theater belnit selected. This latter place of amuse-ment was built by Hrtgliam Young over thirty years ago. Jt Is a lurfJc aiut beautiful temple aud Is comfortably arranged. . Assembly If all, near the temple, Is used in winter for worship by the Mormons, the tabernacle being too large to admit of proper beating. Assembly hall Is lacixrtK feet, and cost UW.OOO. The celling is with church pictures, among them the Angel Moroni disclosing tbe hiding place cl the golden plates ta Joseph Smith. ' i The Natatorlnm ,--. Is a large circular bathing house, the center of which, under a glass ronfT Is a swimming pool. The water Is brought in pipes from Beck's Hot Springs, There are also a large number of bath rooms. . , . Electric Streetcar '. connect with every point of Interest in the city. .The system is now and the appointments good. Kapld transit is assured. Camp Douglas,' three milps east of the city and over 400 feet above it, is beautifully laid out in the midst of lawns and orebanls, and the barracks and bouses of the ofllcers are built of stono. The Eost commands a wide view of the city and where rat Salt Lake lies like molten sliver at the foot of the western mountains. Beck's Hot Springs are in the northern part of the citv abont three miles from the business center. They issue from the base of tho mountains, and are regarded as a very valuable aid in cases of rheumatism. dyspepsia and scrofula. Tbe waters are used both In-ternally and externally, and there is an excellent bath house and necessary appointments for the comfort of patients. The Warm Sulphur Springs are between the Hot Springs and the city, about one mile from the postonice. There is a good hotel sud comfortable bith house in connec-tion with the springs, and they can be reached by street railway. The Mountains are unsurpassed in magnificent canyons, and at least a dozen of the uianrteRt are within reach of the oily. These invite the tourist to upend days, weeks or months s.mong their wild recesses to fish, to hunt, to scale the ncakH and ridges, and to Rather wild flowers ny the sides of mossy springs, beneath the shade of umbrageous pines. Big (Cottonwood canyon should be seen by everv tourist. Here are lake Mary and Martha from w hich flows the turbulent Cottonwood river; and at the base of the mountains are lakes Blanche, Florence and Lillian. Besides these are Mills creek, Parley's. F.mixration. and City (.'reek canyons, all extremely picturesque and delightfully romantic. Pleasant Drires abound in scores around the outskirts of the city: along the quiet country roads, and through the lanes dividing meadows of rich green alfalfa and fields of grain: while the majestic mountains are never entirely lost sinhtof. From under the branches of trees and above hedges of tho wild doe-ros- e g impses are caught of snnw.covered peaks. A drive to Fort Douglas, and then a mile further on to the mouth of Emigration canyon is most delightful. It was here that the sight of tho Mormon pioneers ws lirst made glad by the vast expanse of Salt Lake valley sud-denly bursting upon them, on the 34th of July. nK7. The Great Salt Lake. "I think." says Ernest Ingersoll, "few per- sons realize how wonderfully, strangely beautiful this inland sea is," and speaking of its sunsets Phil Kobinson has said: "Where have 1 not seen sunset, by land and sea in Asia. Africa, Europe and America, and where can I say I have ever seen more wonderous coloring, more electrifjing effects than in the sunset on the Great Salt Lake of Utah." Salt Lake Is as beautiful a sheet of water as can be found anywhere. The waves are a bright blue or green, and as they dance on Its surface it would he hard to tell which color prevails It i dotted with beautiful islands, and It affords the finest salt water bathing in the world. Garfield Beach is within easy distance of the citv. being but efioguhtreien miles of a ride by tra"in. Here is every luxury and comfort for a diD 'a the mysterious sea, and also all the things nec-essary for the comfort of the inner man The cafe affords enjoyable meals at reasonable prices, and row boats are to be had fw a Quiet i"nptuelrlestonfotrhe waters whichpossess a romantic every visitor. The management of the accommodations at Garheld Beach ta under the direction of the Union Pacific Rail way company, as is that at Lake Park under the supervision of the Rio Grande West- ern. This resort is north of the abmit half Way between Salt Lake and and much frequented by visitors, it is similar in attractiveness to Garaeld, and is well worthy a COUND SENSE FOR HOME USE. Miss Corson Says a Tew Words to Touug Housekeepers About Authorities. When so many dopartmeuts m penOQ-Ical- s devoted to women's work are con- -' ducted sensibly and with an interest di- -' rectly applicable to their needs jt would seem strange that such serious misinfor-mation should be circulated broadcast if nothing were known cf tho system of clipping and recasting matter already in pjrint. The accusation has been made in near-ly every branch of women's work that women themnolves were always to blame for the comparatively payment offered new comers in any field of work. In 18:J, when this writer was actively engn-ge- in building up an institution for helping women to earn their own livelihood, she met in committee one of the largest man n fact urcw of ready made garments at that time iu the trade. Tho subject under discussion was the sum per dozen paid for sewing plain calico shirts on the machine, tho ladies of the committee appealing to the employer to advance tho sum beyond fifty c?nts a lozeii. His answer was explicit, and from a business point of view strictly defensible: "Why should I pay more than women offer to work for? I do not regulate the trade price. I used to pay seventy-fiv- e cents. Some German women camo here who wanted to buy sewing machines on installments of $1 a week. They had csmfortable homes, and only needed the dollar to pay on the ma-chine. They offerod to do the work for fifty cents. I was obliged to regard my own interests. If the girls who wero already sewing for me would not reduce their rates I had to take the German women." All this was said with much emphasis and gesticulation, and it was the unanswerable truth. It is with sorrow that, after seventeen years' work among women for women, I must repeat tho statement. In every branch of women's work women stand ready to underbid and underrate the work of others. While individually 1 have great satisfaction in the reflection that a new field of work for women has been opened in the teaching and writing of cookery, I regret to believe perforce that numbers of writers are engaged in newspaper work on this subject who have no more real experience than a blind kitten, who laps milk instinctive-ly, discriminates between the maternal and bovine fluids. Provided with paste pot and scissors, an array of exchanges and some cookery books, they slash away without knowing what sort of dishes their readers will produce. Poor readers! Pitiable victims to the literary pirate, who cares only for the price he or she receives for each column of patchwork. How is the young housewife to know if her materials are to be wasted and her workmanship derided by the unfortunate eaters of her culinary attempts? - There is only one safety for her; the resolve never to test a recipe which does not bear the name of some acknowledged authority in the world of domestic econ-omy; the personal signature, not some version prepared by an adaptor. Even with the most carefully prepared manu-script to work from the compositor and proofreader will make mistakes enough; but how much more questionable must be the results when the writer does not really know whether the subject matter is correct? In the publication of my own books, the revised sheets of which were submitted to me, I have never yet had a copy of the first edition that did not con-tain some error, perhaps small, but still an error, that had escaped all watchful eyes. One more statement and the reader will be left to reflect upon the best way of arriving at a safe basis of operations for the kitchen labors, npon which the comfort of the whole house depends. One of the New York leading dailies has been making signed articles of in-terest to women a weekly feature, and even proposing the republication in book form. Heaven save the nnbappy readers if all the subjects touched were treated as superficially and incorrectly as cookery has been! The writer has even had the courage to alter my own recipes after interviewing me to secure them. And recently she favored ino with a description of her method of work. Under half a dozen names she cliis, rewrites a little, sends au article derived (?) from a California publication to ono in tho eastern stated, and vice versa. If ono of her literary friends is good natured enough to give her an opening where some special work has been accented resuhtrlv and naid for fairly, this friend to herself straightway concocts matter of similar import from her various sources of information, sends it in at a low rate, using as a lever the name of the daily she writes for, and having once secured a foothold con-tinues to put in so much matter ahead, under her several names, that she some-times has as many ns forty columns in type covering the field of women's work, and of course shutting out the work of other writers. How she can possibly do such an amount of work is simple enough. She is only a copyist, and every column she "adapts" takes just so much bread away from women who depend npon their honest work for daily sustenance. Let our readers ponder upon this subject. They will wonder less that so many fail-ures nttend trials of foramlas they find in papers conducted by editors not per-sonally conversant with special lines of arork, p;irticularly of women's work. In conclusion, a word to wise women: If any one working after my own signed formulas has failed to meet with entire success I shall be glad to receive a de-tailed account of the entire matter and do my best to see where lies the occasion of defeat, for I never publish a recipe un-til I know just what result it will pro-duce when worked out exactly accord-ing to directions. Of course, if any change of any kind is made, or there is nay typograpical error, I um not respon-sible, and can only point out the correct tray of work. Jultct Cokson. brother, I will do as you suggest." ' "Will you make it as powerful as the other one was?" "1 will try," the preacher answered. "All right; but mind that you do try." Tho next Sunday the people were lomowhat surprised to hear another ser-mon on the virtues and graces of Broth-er Ike, but no objections were raised. Wiggs was again deeply affected, and again with overpowering emotion he i disappeared in the woods. Early the following Friday morning the preacher was surprised to receive another call from Wiggs. "What can 1 do for you this time, brother?'' the minister asked. "Nothin' only to preach the funeral of my brother Ike next Sunday." "Absurd," exclaimed the preacher. "I have set up tho sermons twice and think that I have done my duty." "Look here, eap'n call you cap'n be-cause you air about to go inter a war my brother Ike has been a lyin' thar for ton or fifteen yearn with nary a funeral sermon till the other day, while lots of old fellers that have never done nothin' fur the country have liad more funerals than they knowed whut to do with,- so 1 think it's time fur Ike to have a chance. Hear mo?" "I hear, but I do not hearken. Tho fact that your brother has been neglected is no fault of mine. There are hundreds of men who have never had a funeral, but am I to be held responsible?" "In rpgard toother folks.no: in rd to Ike, yes." "But I refuse to preach Ids funeral again." "All right. Til allow you a while and then I'll go over and take them logs out of the church. Wanter be wallered?" "I don't want any trouble with you.r "Then agree to preach about Ike, or HI give yon the wnst wallerin' a white man ever seed." "Brother" "Goin' to preach that funeral?' Tha visitor began to take off his coat. A dis-tressed expression settlod upon the preacher's face. "Brother I do not wish to have any trouble with you. I am a man of peace and gentleness." "But 1 ain't," Wiggs replied. "I am a snorter from 8'ar Holler! I ain't the man that butted the bull often the bridge, but I am the man that rid the bay steer through the saft ooze of the swamp of despair. If yon don't wanter get that coat dirty, w'y, off with it." "Brother, at the siskof displeasing the people whom it is tiy duty to please, I will make another venture. I will preach for you again next Sunday." On the following Sunday the people were still further surprised at the great virtues of Brother Ike, but being in-dulgent mode no complaint Tliroe days later Wigga rode np to the preacher's house, and seeing the minister in the yard dismounted. "Come out here a minit," Wiggs called. "What can you possibly want with me now?" the preacher asked, as he climbed over the fence. "I have come on mighty distressin business. You know that you preached my brother's funeral three times?" . "Yes, and yon cannot possibly want me to preach it again?" "No; fur from it. I have jest found out that Ike wa'nt nuthin' but my half brother, and I don't propose to do so much fur a feller that ain't no more kin to me than that. So, brother, well have to fix it." "But how can we? The funerals have been preached." "I know that, an' that's why I have come. I want you to go to the church next Sunday an' take them sermons back. I ain't havin' no half brother puffed. Thar ain't none of the half way business about me. Will you take them sermons back next Sunday?" "Such a thing wonld be ridiculous, my friend. I cannot comply with you' wish." "Then I'll have to waller you." "I have accommodated you three times, and I now beg you to go away." "I 'lowed that I'd have to waller yon." "I toll you tha: I am a man of peace and gentlenoss." " 'Lowd that I'd have to waller you." "We'l, come ' on then, you trifling sconnd-el- !" The preacher took off his coat and hung it on the fence. Wiggs looked up and down the road. The preacher rolled np his sleeves, and, turning toward bis house, lifted his liauds and said: "Lord," thou knowest that when 1 killed old Lige Moore and Sam Tillotson and Calvin Green and Dock Vance that I prayed that all such cups might for-ever pass from me, but "thou seest that I am compelled to defend myself." Tiie preachur turned about. Dust was rising down the lane. Wiggs had taken to his Leelg. Opie P. Kead in New York World . , THREE FUNERALS. In some parts of the south it is the custom to preach the funeral of the de-ceased long after the deceased has been buried. In fact, nearly all of the preach-er's work consists of funeral orations. Sometimes a new circuit rider, to en-dear himself to the people, will first an-nounce himself by declaring that he will entertain his beloved hearers with a few remarks on the life, character and death of eld Anderson Lipscomb, who surren-dered to the demand of the great high sheriff of death just forty-thre- e years ago yesterday. Recently Simeon J. Boyle, a circuit rider of the old school, was appointed by conference to take charge of the Black Sulphur Springs ciicuit. He was known as a powerful agonizer, a man who could raise the soft hair of luxurious sin into the stiff bristles of fear. The day after Boyle had arrived in the neighbor-hood of his new charge he was called upon by Wiggs Bailey. Wiggs is a well known character of the community a man of untrembling nerve, of strong arms, and an appetite that bad never been known to fail. "What can I do for you?" the preacher asked, when the visitor had introduced himself. "Jes' called to pay my respecks an' to tell you if you ever need my sarvices, jes' call on me. I 'predate the position you hold as a worker for the Lord, and I wanter ask a favor of you," "All right, brother." "I want you to preach the funeral of xuy brother Die. Best feller you ever seen in your life died about ten or fifteen years ago. Great big feller, whip-ped old Oscar Miles once, and Os was a power in the land, I toll yon. Now you preach his funeral, an' I'll make it all right with you." "I will do it, brother. What wa the eause of his death?" "Lack of licker." "What, was he so addicted to the use of liquor that when it gave ont and he couldn't get any more he died?" ' 'Oh, no; he was never much of a hand to drink." "Then how did he die on account of the lack of liquor?" "W'y, he was bit by a rattlesnake, an' as be didn't have no licker, he jest nach-nllydied-." "And you want me to preach his fu-neral? "Yes, an' you ken get in some power-ful work when you git down inter the facks of his lyin' thar sufferin' fur licker., You' ken fetch the tears outen mighty nigh aver eye in the house." "I see, but a description of his death, no matter how vivid, will not be quite enough. Tell me something of his life." "Wall, he was the powerf ullest feller in the country. Becken he could lift more at a handspike than any man about here." "But what were his strongest points?" "Raaslin', brother, rasalin' with the rule." "But had ho not some moral quality?" "Oh, yes. He didn't swear 'cept when heconldn't help hisself." "Well, I will do the best I can. Will next Sunday do?" "Yes, suits me all right. Thar'll be a big crowd out, 'specially as this is your fnst 'pearance, an' I want you to paint Ike as bright as a tone." "Yes," said the preacher, scratching liis head, 'Til do that. Yonr brothur was a a a popular man, was he?" "Popular as a basket of ginger cakes at a county fair." "All right, brother. I'll be on hand next Sunday." The bouse was crowded on the follow-ing Sunday. Wiggs took a seat near the pulpit, and, taking out an immenso handkerchief it must have been the half of a tablecloth mado himself ap-pear as a man of deep seated sorrow. The new circuit rider preachpd a power-ful sermon; he painted a pathetic pict-ure of a man wallowing on the ground, wringing his hands and crying, in an agonized voice: "Licker, oh! bring me licker, or I will perinhl,' After services were over Wiggs shook hands with the preacher, wid then, breaking down' with the weight of his emotion, wheelod about and disappeared in the woods. On the following Saturday Wiggs called on the preacher again. "I havo come," said the visitor, when the uun- -' Jster had shaken hands with him, "to tell you that not only me, but every-body, is delighted with the brother Ilco sermon. " "I am highly pleased to hear it." "Not at all. Say, I've got another fa-vor to nek." . "What is it. brother?" "I want you to preach the sermon ot my brother Ike again next Sunday." "Why, that wouldn't to at all." "Why noff" "Because I preached it iast Sunday." "Brother, let me tell you that I come mighty nigh runnin' this here communi-ty. I put five of the main logs in that church you preached in last Sunday, and unless you preach Ike's funeral again next Sunday, why I'll take the logs that belong to nio an' split 'em up for fire wood. Oh, don't you think' the folks will take your part. They know me know that it won't do to fool with me. What do you say?" "Gh, rather than have any trouble, American Enterprise in Africa, The example cf the United States in recoguiiing the fUif of the International Association, now tho Independent State of Congo, was followed by all tho pow-ers of Europe, and under this name, with the assont of the Belgian govern-ment, it entered into the family of na-tions, and its illustrious founder is car-rying on effectively a model government in the interests of civilization and free-dom. Several Belgian companies have been organized and are developing its resources, the principal one of which is a railroad company with f5,000,000 cap-ital, now engaged in building a railroad around tho cataracts, a distance of about 2G0 miles, from Matadi to Stanley Pool. As the American flag, borne by Stan-ley, was tho iin;t ono displayed to the natives in his voyage of exploration down that river, so the American flag was the first displayed on the waters of tho Upper Congo, leading the vanguard of commerce. The Sanford exploring expedition, organized the 28th of June, 18tj0, launched the Florida, tlw first com-m'erc-steamer on the waters of tbe Congo, after a year of laborious effort in transporting it, mostly in sixty pound parcels, on the heads of some two thou-sand porters. This was followed by the little steamer New York, and at the ex-piration of its term of two and a half years was taken over by the "Belgian Company of Commerce on the Upper Congo." On the llth of July, 1887, was formed the Belgian Company of Com-merce and Industry, which is the parent, so to say, of the five or six Belgian Congo companies, all successfully work-ing there. To Show the growing popu-larity of Congo enterprises, held in such disfavor when the Sanford exploring ex-pedition was formed that only one-thir- d of its little capital of a0O,0OO francs could be obtained from Belgians, it may be stated that at a recent increase of capi- - j tal of the Haut Congo company to 3,000,-00- 0 francs the public subscription waj covered innefold.
