Show SEPTEMBER 1, 1890. THE SALT LAKE TIMES. MONDAT f jitancfal. ; which is easily duped duly appeared and was promptly assessed around sura of money for "medicines." By and by the vampires vanished, and with them a great deal of hard cash that properly belonged to this-eity- . It lsagainstsuch impostors that T"hk Times invokes the strong arm nil the law. A smooth set of vampires traveling under the cognomen of "English spe-cialists," not long ago invaded Salt Lake, promising free treatment for three months to afflicted mankind. That part of the aforesaid mankind discredit and failure upon this coinniu-uity- . As a rule a substantial and bona fide enterprise will not begin with an in-quiry "how much of a bonus will you give us?" but it will rather investigate the Held and the resources first, and, becoming satislied as to both, see next what privileges it can obtain from us. Where the advantages are mutual there will be no dillieulty in coining to an agreement. Millions for promising industries, but not a penny for financial wrecks. CONCERNING BOXISES. Both the secretaries of the real estate exchange and the chamber of com-merce are plied with letters from alleg-ed eastern manufacturers asking what bonus this city would offer to those concerns if they removed hither. Now The Times has a loyal and material interest in the prosperity ot Salt Lake and desires as much as any one to aid in that direction. Moreover it realizes that the operation of a number of fac-tories giving steady employment to labor and utilizing tho raw material of this region w ill tend more toward the desired end than any other agency, not only in its immediate but also iu its prospective effects in opening new avenues of commerce and in compelling new railroads to run in here and com-pete for the large volume of our trade. Hence this paper is not averse on priueiple to the granting of generous inducements to the right kind of indus-tries. On the other hand it would be folly to jump at every bankrupt con-cern that offers itself and bolster it up with our money because such concern could not stand alone and would in the end bring tTrTjones & CO., Bankers, 161 MAIN STREET.

I must grind out the golden grain, I must work at my t ask with a resolute will, Over and over again. We cannpt measure the need Of even t io tiniest flower, Nor eheck the Bow of the golden sands That run through a single hour; But the morning dews must fall, And the sun and the summer rin Must do their part, and perform it all Over and over again. Over and over again The brook through the meadow flows, And over and over again The penieruus mill wheel goes; Once doing will not suffice, Though doing be not in vain; And a blessing falling u onue or twice May come it we try again.

Through sorrowful tears must fall, And the heart to Its depths bi dr.ven With storm and tempest, we need taem all To render us meet for heaven. Inasmuch as The Times was the only Lib-eral newspaper that nominated a candidate tor recorder and especially advocated his cause, there are people who are depraved enough to think that THB Times Is not just now In a position to undertake a course of ctures for the instruction of the Liberal party.

TIII8 DATE IN IHSTORY-SKP- 'T 1 When the year's beginning was In March Sep-tember was the seventh month ; hence It was then properly termed September. Now that the year begins in January this name is not appropriate, and the same is true of the last three and follow-ing months of the year October, November and December. A thirty-firs- t day was added to Sep-tember by Julius Ceesar when he reformed the calendar, but Augustus restored the old number of thirty days, and so it has remained.. The Sax-on- e called September the Oerst Monot, or barley month, beoauso the barley harvest fell during the month. This was a most Important crop with the Saxons, for from barley they brewed beer.

It seems that the main combatant in the South American war was Mizner, the American consul, and it further seems that his war is not overyot as the state department in Washington is about to take him in hand. Miznor, it appears, assumed the part of general utility man and mado himself too con-spicuous for his own good. Very few of our representatives abroad have diplomatic experience, much less train-ing, but they ought to have good com-mon senso and exercise it iu critilial times. It is the duty of an American consul to guard the interests of his own country51 and leave all others nloue, otherwise he will not only compromise himself but his govcrnm jnf as well, and Mi.ncr is not running this govern-ment yet.

Banks of goldenrod an aster, Clumps of sage in cowls of gray, Whita above, In tangled splendor, Nodding sunflowers Idly sway.

The world stands In the presence of a mighty revolution in the system of vage earning, tho muttering of which can already be heard on all sides. To make this revolution a peaceful and prolitablc one is airact of duty which tho Ameri-can workmen owe themselves. They are part of our most intelligent citi-zenship, and the observance of a day like this, bringing together as it does the different trades, and bringing about as it inu.st, an exchange of views, serves as a historic milestone in the progress and settlement of tho labor question, the most momentous that now confronts civilization.

Tho Curious and Remarkably Perfect Manufacture of a Retired Merchant. Alois Peteler, of New Dorp, S. I., a former resident of the city of Heidel-berg, tjermany, has built a perfect "pocket edition" of theold German berg, In wbic'i he was born and raised. With numerous photographs, drawings, and plans of Heidelberg, aided by a thorough knowledge of his subject, Mr. Peteler began the foundation of his little city, and now, sitting on his front porch, he can overlook the roofs of this town of Lllliput. and into the courtyard of the great castle, so rich in romance, tradition und folklore. Every detail of tho original city is reproduced with the fidelity of tho photographer. From the balcony it is easy to imagine that it is the real city, dnrys dwarfed by a distance of a few miles. Looking over the battlements of the miniature liouse3 one can see the turbu-lent waters of the Neckar hurrying past to join tho Rhine. Tho little city is made to endure. There are no make-shifts, no glue, pasteboard or carpet tacks everything is stone, cement, gravel, brass and iron. The buildings are upon a plateau of stonework, elevat-ed from the ground four or five feet. Tho houses vary from one to five and a half feet'lu height, the tall towers run-uin- g up from seven to ten feet. Mr. Peteler has reproduced with the greatest fidelity over 100 busts of the electoral governors, which are used in decorating the fronts of the palaces. Even the coars-of-arm- 8 and quarterings over the entrances are plainly cut. The old man takes pleasure in showing visitors a of the famous Heidelberg tun. It is really 88 feet long and 25 high. Tho little model is 12 inches in length and about 8, inches high. In another purt of the" grounds the sea water is let in by pipes, and forms an artificial lake in which the tide rises and falls. Upon a promontory which juts into the lake stands a model of the beautiful castle of Hohen-Schwange- Its towers are nearly 10 feet high, and with its cluster of buildings is picturesque and beautiful. Mr. Peteler is a retired confectioner, with millions of dollars, thousands of which he has put into his miniature Heidelberg. St. Louis Republic Tax shirkers are congenial to every soil and Salt Lake has her quota of them, but when scores of the most reputable business men protest against excessive taxation there must be soino-- : thing rotten in the state of Denmark. Why Show (ioui.'i Whera There h no Trade? Courier-Journa- Senator Cullom represents tho state in which the World's fair is to be held. What is the object of the World's fair? Is it expected to discourage co.nmerce! What do we want with displays from nations with whom we have no desire to trade V Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson is one of the few men who occasionally resign a fat office, but he is entirely a western man with western grit and western independence, Ho can live and prosper without feeding on Federal pap. We do not believe tho hobnobbing of the three emperors bodes any good to the oppressed people of Europe. The last time the rulers of Austria, Prussia and Russia camo together they formed the holy alliance which proved a holy terror to tho liberty of those uations. PASS THE ORDINANCE. At the last meeting of the city coun-cil a bill to rtgulate the practice, of medicine was tabled In order, it is claimed, to give its friends a chance to bo present and assure its passage. We hooe there will not be any unnecessary delay about it and that the bill will be-come an ordiiianeo at the next coming meeting. Of all tho measures for the preservance of health this, is the most urgeut and important, and it should pass without change, as it has been carefully prepared, and any tinkering with it is liable to open loopholes through whioh the wary quacks may crawl. Few people havo a conception of the harm done by medical pretenders in this city. If the dead could speak they might divulge a tale of horror that would shame tho imagination of Dante in his description of the inferno. We know of a child that had been treated for three weeks for Worms by one of theso empirics, when in fact the little patient was suffering from an advanced stage of typhoid fever. Gentlemen of tho council, it is your duty and your privi-lege to save that child and hundreds of victims like it from a fate worse than murder. We expect you to do it and not hesitate about it either. Theso impostors ply their foul voca-tion upon the poor and credulous, that is to say upon those who most need the protection of the law. Some, like the proverbial poor relations, are always with us while others stay just long enough to get away with all the cash in sight. In the east tho different states have long since disposed of the dangerous gentry and lately tho western states have driven them out until this territory has becomo almost their last stamping ground in which they can thrive and fatten without molestation from anyone It was oxpectod that the last legislature would move in this matter but as in many other things it proved remiss and there is nothing to be hoped for from that quarter. Meantime what is the use of advertising tho salubrity of our climate if at tho same time we invito nn army of quacks to increase our death rate? A largo proportion of our funer-als are caused by them. Reduce the scoundrels to their proper sphere nnd let them earn an honest living with shovel and pick or else join the chain gang as they deserve. No reputable physician can object to a bill which recognizes tho diploma of any established school, or permits those who have not tho proper credentials to qualify themselves for practice before a board of examiners. The quacks must go. September marks the approach of autumn and the prospects for au active fall trade in the country at largu and especially in the west aud in Utah are flattering. With their wonted enter-prise the merchants of Sat Lake are preparing to moot the increased demand in every branch of business. The fu-ture is ours. It is a pity nobody In the cottage in which Mrs. . Dalngorfield boarded at Asbury Park had the courage to wring Iilunt's neck before ho assaulted that lady and virtually mopped tho floor with her. Not satisfied with advertis-ing himself as a drunkou brute, he pil-lories a woman who may be innocent of any fault, save that of tolerating tho acquaintance of such a fellow as Ulunt. How Hair Cloth Is Made. Many people understand, of course, how hair cloth is made, but for the edi-fication of those who do not we will ex-plain the process. In tho first place horsehair cannot be dyed. It repels col-oring matter; so to make black cloth it is nocessary to Becure natural black hair. Tho horses, in many cases absolutely wild, running unrestrained, are regu-larly coraled and shorn. Of course black Jiair is preferable, but sometimes gray . stock is utilized. Not only the tails but also the manes are cut; tho hair is bunched. These bunches seldom con-tain hairs of less length than two feet; sumo are even three and three and a half feet, and the thickness of the bunch-es is usually two or three inches. Tho hair cloth looms are provided with what wo may call a nipper, in place of shuttle, and the nipper is so finely actu-ated that it travels across the warp and seizes from the bunches one hair only tho jaws of the nipper being too fine to grasp more than one and carries it across the weft threads, dropping it into tho exact place. The action of the loom mechanically forces the hair next to its predocessor, the warp crosses upon it, snugly holds ii in its place, the nipper travels back and seises another, and so on and on. The delicacy and almost human accuracy with which each sepa- rate hair is placed between the warp threads is really incredible. New York Tolegram. Communications continue to pour in upon The Times commending its course In tho contested Page-ltume- l election. Theso tokens of approval are no less gratifying than the consciousness of having insisted upon fair play, and it. There is something higher involved in an election than the mere success of au individual, aud it is this higher principle that The Times con-tended for and helped to sustain. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. The Russian nihilist, Stepniak is com-ing to the United States this fall on a lecturing tour. Bernard Eberling, of Baltimore, now ninety-fou- r years of age, fought uuder Bluctier at Waterloo. , General Low Wallace, the author of "Ben llur," writes a small and neat hand which is as clear aud legible as copper-plalo- . Paul, of Venezuela, is In New York, and will remain in the United States several months, lie comes north on 'account of impaired health. The prize of 10,000 francs ottered by M. Cernuschi, of Paris, for the best treatise on biuiotalism, has been won by M. Rochussen, formerly minister of foreign affairs in Holland. Virgil G. Curtis, of Winnoaa, Minu., has accepted the place of superindeut of tho New Haven schools. Mr. Curds has held similar ollices in Iiiou, 111.; Corry, Pa., and Stillwater, Minn. Temperance advocate are rejoicing over the fact that Blaine is now a total abstainer. It is remarked that the list of pulillo meu who have joined the various temperance organizations of lato years is a long one. Felicia Holt, a magazine writer, quotes a little girl as asking her mother "if she miirlit take off her dress and play in her underclothes like the ladies did on the beach." Miss Holt is op-posed to promiscuous bathing. Henrik Ibsen, who coutinues his quiet aud reticent life at Munich, has recently begun to writes a new drama. His son, Dr. Sigured lbson, is also en-gaged in literary work at present, tho sulijecl being a book on the relations between Norway aud Sweden. Dr. Sigmd Ibsen is a notorious malcontent with regard to the existing state of affairs. For some time the Vatican has had under consideration the question as to whether or not a permanent., medical attache to the papal service would be advisable with the title of 'assistant doctor" to Dr. Cecca Zelli, who, al-though a surgeon, acts as physician to the pope. But Leo XIII. cut the mat-ter short when tho proposition was mado to him by saying: "It is perfectly useless to make this charge, because! will be found dead in my bed, at all events." F. Edwin Etwell the sculptor, and Mrs. Elwell are spending the summer their delightful home, Shawer Farm, Sandwich, Mass. Mr. Elwell's property is charmingly situated, and the view from the Aoropolis, a hill back of his studio, commanding as it does the lakes, the town, tho sea, and the sweep of Cape Cod, is unsurpassable for its var-iety and beauty. Visitors to Shawnee Farm are struck with the resemblance it bears to the Lake country in England. By way of helping along the pro-posed Davy Crockett monument fund the Philadelphia Telegraph says: "A more picturesque man never sat in the house of resprentatives a backw-oods- man pure aud simple, a man who could kill more bear in a day than the best hunter in the mountains, a buck-skinne-oddly dressed specimen, who did not know his letters until he waa eighteen years old. By all means let Davy have a monument. He could tell as many lies as a native Texan, and his claims to glory none can question." w". .' It is whispered that Priuce Albert Victor is threatened with the family malady of the guelphs which is insan-ity. It is strange how many of tho royal families are tainted thus, consid-ering all the advantages they enjoy. The Austrian, Hussian, Bavarian royal-ties are notoriously afflicted aud of the others but few are free of that dreadful taint. Verily, a crown does not cover all the happiness on earth, nor any great part of it, for that matter. The Marquis de Leuvillo of Mrs. Frank Lesliu fame has been challenged to light a duel by a correspondent of "Gilblas" a Loudon publication which has animadverted somewhat on the methods used by the Marquis in secur-ing the alVection of the lady named. Tho Marquis has accepted this chal- - lengo and tho light is to occur next Thursday. It is 6ufe, however, to say that no one will be hurt, the combat-ants having very discretely announced their meeting so that the police might avert it. The Marquis may yet bo hus-band to Mrs. Frank Leslie. There was a Sunday school excursion from Wilmington to the Zoological gar-dens recently, and one of the happiest boys in the party was John Conway. It waa hi first visit, and he took in the sights with open eyed won-der. He fed the elephants his last cake, spent his final nickel for' peanuts to throw to the prairie dogs, and he fairly bubbled over with excitement when he reached the bear pits and looked down at the funny antics of the animals. Seeing the open Bpaces on the lower side of the pit, Johnny stole away from his companions and took a position by which he could look through the bars. In an evil moment the lad turned his head to look at something behind him, when one of the bears caught a glimpse of his finger protruding through the bare, and a moment later the digit was transferred to bruin's stomach. The boy's screams attracted the attention of one of the guards, aud he was sent to the German hospital, for treatment Pbiladelphi North American. |
