This is the season of the year, partic-ularly this year, when congestion is easily contracted. In settled warm or settled cold weather, precautions can be easily taken against diseases of that kind, but not so when the air is just balmy enough to lure one; to neglect and yetsharp enonghto produce trouble. It would be difficult perhaps to observe every change in the weather from day to day and from day to night in tbe matter of clothing, but on general prin-ciples it is safe to wear flannel under-wear and if need be rubber shoes. Overcoats or wraps can then be put on or laid off at the circumstances may demand, but the main protection against congestion is to be sought by keeping the body uniformly warm. There is considerable of that ailment annoying known as cold, in its various forms and manifestations and stages prevalent in Salt Lake City just now. due mostly to careless exposure, or to a violation of the rules of common sense. A great many doctor bills might be It was the Chamber of Commerce, according to President Simon's report, that suggested the establishment of clearing house in this city. It was an excellent suggestion, but it is not carried out yet. Four banks are still out. PERKINS' GRAND W 1111!

The Times yesterday printed the re-ports of the officers of the Chamber of Commerce in full and we suggest that they furnish excellent advertising mat-ter to send broadcast through the land.' We do not believe there is another city In the United States having a popula-tion of 60,000 or thereabouts, that can compete with the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce in point of push and en-terprise. The complaints of iudiffer-euc- e so often heard in connection with similar bodies in other cities, while well founded, are easy of explanation and no amount of prodding, cajoling or Intimidating can avail anything, be-cause the conditions essential for greater activity are wanting. In most cities of 100,000 or less people the chamber of commerce has only a shad-owy existence, its main duty consisting in entertaining such people as may be of consequence enough to merit such at-tention. Otherwise it is nothing but an intelligence bureau of very limited utility. In Salt Lake alone of all the cities of tho category namod the Cham-ber of Commerce is a leading faotor in the upbuilding of the tributary coun-try. It is the prime mover in every worthy enterprise, the center of or-ganized etfort, the rallying point of our business men, the parent of all other exchanges since established. We hear from time to time consider-able objection made to the Chamber of Commerce as an aggregation of moss-back- There may be a great many mossbacks among the individual mem-bers but as a body this charge is a gross libel. It is but necessary to consider the limitations set by circumstances to an organization of this kind to feel con-vinced that the Salt Lake chamber is alive to the best interests of the com-munity and commonwealth and that it is doing its utmost in bringing to the notice of the country the advantages of Utah more effectively and more persist-ently than could be done through any other known agency. And as in the matter of rate discriminatious sn in all other vital things it is this organization ol business incu that leads in the good tight for justice. Soon the Salt Lake Chamber of Com-merce will remove from its present cramped quarters to its new building which in itself is a proud movement of enterprise and some day, not so very remote, we will start in upon open boa'-- meetings, the first city within an empire. VOICES OF THE STREET. Next to jugging an evil-doe- accord-in- g to law, the tupremest moment in the existence of a Salt Lake police-man, is that period when he is able to render assistance to the fair sex. Doub-ly supreme is the moment if she bap-pen- s to be handsome, according to na-ture. Gallantry rests as lightly upon the shoulders of the Salt Lake "gar-gian- t of the peace" as pie on the stom-ach of a Montana tramp. I was trebly impressed with the facts, as stated above, yesterday. Two ladies and a baby carriage occu-pied the entire sidewalk on First South street.- - That is, they occupied the space that was not used by the fruit dealers. Beside the baby rested a small tin pail. Said one of the ladies, stopping a policeman: 'Will you do me a favo r?" "Will I? Will a motorman run over a seven-year-ol- kid every time he gets a chancer Well I should pause to think. What is it?" "Ilore is a bucket and 15 cents. I would like to get a a little a little Just a little, please a nuciiei-ful- l If possible." The star and the polioeman's shoes retained their dignity as representa-tives of awe and majesty by not chang-ing color, but the rest of the cop lost all control of dignitv and A bright smilefollows the hand that held the bucket and fifteen cents. Who could have refused? Certainly not a Salt Lake policeman. At least, he didn't. "Coughs are ungrateful things. You find one out in the cold; you take it up, nurse it, make everything of it, dress it up warm, give it all sorts of balsams and other food it likes and carry it around in your bosom as if it were a miniature lap dog. And by and by its little bark grows sharp, and confound the thing you find it is a wolf's whelp that you have got there, and he is gnawing in the breast where he has been nestling so long." "Policy" has struck the town, and the disciples of the Ancient Order of Seven or Eleven are in the Ethiopian haven of earthly bliss. With plenty of opportunities to invoke the sable god-dts- s to smile upon their wild and fren-zied gyrations to "pass" or "come," and the golden prospect of catching a "gig" in policy, there is no earthly ex-cuse for the average Salt Lake negro desponding. Incidentally I will observe that "craps" is a eame in which two dice and all the language of the English peaking race, outside of the dudci, is used, in a frautio endeavor to conjure the dice to form a certain number, of less denomination than twelve and more than three. Policy is not a game. Il is a passing glimpse of chance through an Inverted telescope. - - What a queer being is woman! The expression is not mine it has been used before. Its terseness and veracity commend it. But if woman is queer, maidenhood dreamy, delightful, de-lirious maidenhood is queerer some-times. A miss of not more than 17 summers called on The Times one day thii week to know why the paper did not reach the home 'of her parents earlier In the evening. The circulator, who is a bachelor and free thinker, tried to explain that the carrier finished his route almost ab her home, and that he traveled diversified road before he rfached the end of his route. "But who can explain any-thing to a woman?" (quoted for The little miss chewed her tips and said: "Well, we pay for The Timks to be delivered at our house, and if it isn't delivered earlier in the evening you may have a libel suit on your bands." Even the bookkeeper smiled after the door closed. --t- When the book-keepe- r of a printing office smiles, humanity can take a rest. -- A friend of mine has asked me for "a sure cure" for a "giggling" girl. The most positive and effective is to marry her. The same individual wants to know "what will cure a boy of smok-ing cigarettes?" Kill biro. Cklbe Clare. The genuine Italian weather can be found only in Utah. Italy Is freezing. " FREE LANCE. It was fifteen years ago, New Year, that Major Krb started in as landlord of the Walker house. Ho is a young man yet, comparatively, but when the time comes, which heaven may pro-long to a sere old age, for him to as-sume wings, bo will be laudlord of a more maguifirent mansion in the skies. A minister who had quarters in the Walker house sometime since told the free Lance of an incident within his knowledge which shows that the milk of human kindness flows ooploualy through the veins of the gallant major. It happened long ago. A gentleman with his wife and child, entire stran-gers, arrived in Zion and booked in the Main Street hotel. One night the child was taken sick and a physician sent for who pronounced the trouble a severe cold. At the next call the disciple of Aesculapius diognized the case as s and finally it proved to be scar-let fever. Did Major Erb turn the fam-ily out of his house Not he. "Mt doar sir," he said to' the father, "this fs a serious thing to happen to a laodlord who is responsible for the welfare of his guests, but I will assign you to a secluded room free from contact with anyone else, where you may nurse your sick child without fear of spread-ing the disease." And he did. The little patient got well and the room, no matter how great the demand of the guests was, remained closed to all strangers. "Don't talk to tho Motorman," is the device painted on the street cars over-head the motormon. The reverse in-junction would be more appropriate, t- --t- - There was an enthusiastic democrat at the Jackson memorial meeting Thursday night who proposed three cheers for the speakers at the conclu-sion of the programme. He omitted the tiger. Some of the crowd probably sought that elsewhere. serious illness of Dr. A. C. Mao-lea- n brought to this city his brother from Detroit. Mich, who is one of the foremost surgeons of this country, if not Indeed of the world. He arrived this morning. For perhaps fifteen yean he held a chair in the medical clinic of the Ann Arbor uuiversity and many a physician' graduate vf that renowned college owes to him part 01 his educa-tion. It is a pity his errand is one of sorrow or the Ann Arbor "boys" would no doubt be glad to ex-tend to the distinguished gentleman some social courtesy. We hope the speedy recovery of Dr. Maclean will render this still possible. The pro-fessor was this year oue of the Ameri-can delegates to the medical congress iu Berlin. Once in bis earlier life he was the physician of Sir JohuMacdon-aid- . the Canadian premier. At this time last year there was plenty of good sleighiug in this city; and as the real estate men were all making fortunes, they contributed con-siderable to the sport. All the day long they raced through the streets like mad men showing property, and when the shades of evening fell they sought peace and solace in natty cutters by the side of their best girls or otherwise. This year, the boom being over, the snow likewise refuses to set in. Providence is evidently on the side of the real estate men. The real estate men, we understand, are willing to use their inlluence with that power if the other conditions of last year can be restored. EMMA ABBOTT. It was Emma Abbott who rose and spoke out in a Tennessee prayer meet-ing in protest against the sweeping charge of a bigot that the women of the stago are immoral. That speech open-ed the eyes of a good mauy who had been blind from prejudice and made the country at large a little more just to those who stand and a little more charitable to those who fall before the temptations of a most exacting life. New York Press. Emma Abbott was one of the best known and most popular of the singers in English opera, and this was due largely to the fact of her beiug an American girl. She was not a great artist, and it is not easy to account for her success, except upon the priuepile that she was always woll advertised, was most industrious and labored to show her audiences that she was most anxious to please them. Bullalo Com-mercial. Emma Abbott, although not what could be called a great singer, had sung her way into the hearts of a vast multi-tude of people. She was, indued, oue of the most popular artists on the stage, and while the critics were always free with their strictures upon her. the people liked her, and she drew large audiences regularly from Maine to Cal-ifornia. Indianapolis Sentinel. Although not tt prima donna of the highest artistic rank, her energy in de-veloping the possibilities of English opera, her devotion to that work, and her pure life made her a prominent and creditable figure iu the operatic world. Greater cantatriees are still living, lint fow of them will be more distinctly missed by the masses than Emma Ab-bott. Pittsburg Dispatch. While "Honest Little Emma" Abbott wasn't the best singer in the world, the public will sincerely regret her death at Salt Lake City. The disease with which she suffered, pneumonia, is one very fatal in the western plateau coun-try, and was the same which carried off Emma's husband, Wctherell, a few years since. Loui sville Post. Through all her struggles for success and all the enjoyments that wealth and favor brought to her, Miss Abbott maintained her good name, and she dies mourned and honored by thou-sands. The world will lay a wreath of love upon the dead singer who has added so generously to the happiness of many people. Des Moines Register. Emma Abbott, the sprightly song-stress, whose charming notes haveoften delighted Dayton audiences, is dead. No ono of the thousauds who have lis-tened with rapture to her song will read the announcement of .her death, which occurred yesterday morning at Salt Lake City, without a pang of regret. Dayton Times. The handsome fortune which Emma Abbott left is a splendid testimonial to her pluck and energy, and her remark-able success Bhows how thoroughly the American people appreciate the quali-ties which distinguished the lamented songstress and euabled ber to attain wealth and famo. Kansas City Star. There is no English opera singer to succeed Emma Abbott. Others may have voices and talent, but the fortune of being liked by the public is won by personality which satisfies and suits. Emma Abbott was one of us Ameri-cans. She had our substantial virtues, and we liked her. Kansas City News. Not oue who wrapped a talent in a napkin and hid it was Emma Abbott. Nature's bountiful gifts to her were duly and faithfully used. She leaves behind her a notable example of cheer-ful industry which should cheer every breast faltering in this hard race of life. Kansas City Times. She was easily the leader of the American operatio stage, and contrib-uted more than any other singer to the rendition of famous operas in English. Her death will be sincerely deplored by many thousands of people in every state in the union. Nashvillo Banner. Emma Abbott was not a Nilsson or a Patti, but she overcame dilliculties which neither of these stage stars con-tended with. She will be keenly missed in her profession. She will be kindly remembered by all who heard her sing. Daveuport 'Democrat. Her private life was irreproachable and her generosity and amiability were proverbial. The death of this rare ongstress in the prime of her artistic lowers is one of the saddest events of ho kind the press has of late recorded. L'tica Observer. . It is said that she left the bulk of her arge fortune to endow an institution or the benefit of actors. She may have lone so, but. she could leave them noth- - mg which would be of half the valuo to he stage as her own example. Miuue ipolis Times.

A Massachisf.tts man has just bought a ten thousand dollar dog. The money stringency must be over. THE DEVIL AS MONK. We commend the subjoined confes-sion of the democratic Chicago Herald to the republican traders who believe they made a good dicker when they surrendered the Election bill in ex-change for a free coinage bill, not soon to be. As a confession is said to be good for the soul, we hope the good souls will relish the excerpt. The situation, wnlch comes as a surprise up n a majority of the republicans, may toe explained briefly by laying that the para-mount olijuct on the democratic side Is the defeat of the election trill. This object has been accomplished, as the most radical sup-porters of the bill Kill admit. As a matter of (rood faith, and to some extent as a matter of policy, the d'.'mocratlo tenutors will stand together In support of a tree coinage substi-tute for the Sherman financial bill, and such a substitute will prorably pass the senate by a majority of twelve or fifteen. It is not ti ba inferred, however, that the democrats would be united upon so dangerous an1 mischievous a measure if they believed there was any (treat danger of Its bscomlns; a law. There ts a strong probability that It will be defeated In the house, and even If It shon 11 pass that body It could not command the ttrengtb nec-essary to pass It over the vets whit b would surely follow. In brief, the democrats were willing to pledge anything, from their chance for their salvation to free silver, if the republicans would only let go of the dreadful election bill dreadful to them because it admitted of a peep into their election methods in the south with the mental reservation that as soon as their neck was safely out of the halter they would figuratively see the republicans in Halifax. It'i the old story: When the devil was sick. The devil a monk would be; When the devil got well, The devil a monk was he.

The Indian population of this coun-try is 214.705, as against 03.000,000 whites and blacks, but from the noise they are making it might be supposed the figures are reversed. Among the various appropriations for public buildings upon the congres-sional calendar the one for Salt Lake City is conspicuous for its absence; perhaps because we need it most. NEW OR OLD. What year Is new or old to him Whose soul Is lost to time and sense. H'kae mind and hesrt.of fleetlnK years, Lives on In blessed Innocence? W hat If the solemn years grow grey. And all the trembling verdure fall; Shall such a being bend with age Or feel the death of years at all? Winter, or the prospect of winter, does not deter the prospector from pen-etrating into the Doep Creek country wither in another year a Salt Lake rail-road will run bringing the hidden treasures of that region to our doors. TOO THIN. The New York Star, Tammany or-gan, has a story, which is a big story, that Secretary Blaine, soon after the presidential election in 1888, implored a democratic senator to assure him of democratic support in ease a number of republican senators, enemies of Blaine, should refuse to vote for his confirmation as President Harrison's sccetary of state. And then the story goes on to relate how in return Mr. Blaine declared hit eternal hostility to the election bill. All of which is too thin. As a matter of courtesy the senate never refuses to confirm an of that body for a cabinet position. In-deed it rarely refers euch a nomination to the committee at all but acts upon it immediately in executive session. As a matter of fact no republican senator would entertain for a moment a proposition to with old from Blaine bit vote for confirmation to any office. At a matter of history the election bill was not thought of by any demo-crat previous to Mr. Harrison's inaug-uration and for that reason be could not hare asked Mr. Blaine or any other man to commit himself against it. And as a matter of truth there is nothing in the story; or if the paradox be admitsable, the truth is it is a lie. Next! DONNELLY'S LITTLE BOOM.

Probably the reason why the farmers' alliance is treating Ignatius Dannelly so well is that its members fear he will discover the cipher in their works which will prove that the democratic party is the author of them. Buffalo Express. The farmers' alliance of Minnesota has adopted Ignatius Donnelly's plat-form. What position it takes on the subject of Shakespeare's plays is not yet, known, but we trust the alliance will lind some whv of settlinar the dis- - pute. (irauil Rapids Telegram-Herald- . Ignatius Donnelly's desire to have the farmer's alliance make him a presi-dential candidate makes it appropriate for hira to investigate the secret mean-ing of that line in Shakespeare-Baco-about "vaulting ambition" and what it comes to. Pittsburg Dispatch. The late William Shakespeare has received many severe knocks at the hands of ambitious actors, but it re-mained for the Minnesota farmers' alli-ance to deliberately administer a snub to the bard by ejecting Ignatius Don-nelly to be its president. Washington Post. Ignatius Donnelly is a president al resdy; but not of the United States. Hi thinks, however, that he can use of the Minnesota farmers' alliance as a stepping stone to the greater presidency. But it is a long step from his present office to the White bouse. Rocheiter Herald. Ignatius Donnelly, who tried to make out that Shakespeare was a myth, and that Baccn "did" his dramas, an-nounces himself as a candidate of the farmers' alliance party for the presi-dency.

Lily and Fred estranged Forever. Eugene Field. The long and curious intimacy be-tween Lilly Langtry and Fred Geb-har-seems to have been interrupted forever. The relations were strained at the time Langtry left this country last time, when Gebhardt heard that the fair creature was ill in Londan he started at once across the ocean, de-termined to effect a reconciliation. As soon as he got to London ho hastened to call on Langtry. As luck would have it, he arrived at her hotel at the very time when the Prince of Wales was paying his respects to the lady. His card was returned with the message that he would have to wait awhile that Mrs. Langtry could no other visitor while his royal highness was calling. Words would fail to convey even an idea of the in-tensity of Mr. Gebbardt't wrath: he flounced out of the hotel, went back to hit own rooms, packed his luggage and started for Liverpoal on the first train. With this touching incident ended the flirtation which for years had been ,i notorious and flagrant scandal. Geb-har-has betaken himself to sports of the turf and Langtry is losing her money la London trying to make peo-ple believe she can act. President Hakhison will have the appointment of another justice of the supreme court, the bill providing for an additional associate justice having passed both bouses of congress. The relief will be appreciated, although the late David Davis' bill for the creation of an intermediate court would be more to the purpose. Some time ago Jay Gould declared the people would be astonished if they examined his books and learned how little railroad stock he really bad.

"The great African traveler baa evi-dently been spoiled by flattery and adu-lation. Hit really great qualities are obscured by hit intense egotism. His appearance would indicate that he is a man of great courage, nerve, determi-nation and executive ability, and there is no doubt that he has accomplished some wonderful things; but this doet not excuse him for devoting his lec-tures to eulogizing his own greatness, excorciating his enemies, and defend-ing hit own career. Instead of charg-ing the public $3.60 per head for such a performance, he ought to be willing to pay for the privilege. What the public wants is something instructive and en-tertaining about Africa.
