Tha I.lllpntlana TunlKht - Bolaad Raad Comma; Altraotlona. Tonight the famous company of midget aVtors, known as "the make their initial appearance before a Salt Lake audience. They will be at the Salt Lake theater for three nights. The company consists of more than one hundred people, the ten principals being midgets measuring from two and one-hal- to three feet in height and being from 1H to 15 years of age. Miss Selmo Goerner, tho principal soubrette, occupies one of the highest ranks in her profession, and there is no inter-preter of comic opera more able to charm un audience than this little lady. Mr. Franz Ebcrt, the smallest tot of the company, who only measures ;.venty-eigh- t inches in his stocking feet, is the male star. He is a commedian of su-premo abilities and has absolute rule over his audience. A mere wink of his eye, a shake of his little head or a funny gesture of his hand, will produce con-vulsive laughter. His colleagues, Mr. Wolfe, the heavy comedian, Mr. Wal-ter, the tenor, Mr. liiug and Mr. Cink. are also highly accomplished actors, while the little ladies. Miss Mahr, the soprano, Miss Jacter, the ingenuee, Miss Minchen Keeker, the leading lady and Mist Tony Meister, the dialect comedion, "are artists who, in their respective spheres, can hardly be equaled.

A wool buyer who has made an ex-tensive trip throughout the territory says that be never saw a happier class of peoplo than I'tah farmers are at the present time. The weather has been too cool for the past two or three weeks for grain and root crops to grow rapidly, but everything is looking thrifty and with the ground so satura-ted a'few warm days will start things to growing again in good shape. The rains have been unalloyed bless-ings; grain is growing heavy and rank, and the prospect for a big harvest has not been so promising iu this territory for many years. CLOSINC TIE CONTRACT. 9. t. Junta and th Kla (".randa Writurn liar Tbair Haada Tnifwthar. S. S. Jones, the II. H. Claflin of Provo, was in the city today closing a contract with the Hio (Irande Western for the tics for tho extension of that line from Springvilie to Tintic. The contract will involve the sum of at least $100,000, the most of w hich will p. to laborers in the town of l'rovo. Work on the contract will commence at once. It is a fortunate thing fut tho Garden City, as it will absorb all of the idle la-A Ills Fruit Crop. bor, of which there is considerable. There was never a more brilliant out-look for a heavy fruit crop than there is this year. In both Salt Lake and I'tah valleys all kinds of fruit trees are banging heavy with their burden. Peaches are doing par-ticularly well and as all danger of a frost is now past, the yield will be phe-nomenally large. A fruit grower seen today said that he thought it would be necessary to put props under a'l his apple and peach trees to prevent tho limbs from breaking down. An )l)ll(lua; OlIUIaL. Hartford f'ourant A very busy Hartford man, with a large correspondence, recenly removed to a summer home that he had bought in a small back town. As soon as be settled down he wrote a lot of import-ant letters, putting on each envelop "return to," with his name and summer address. He felicitated himself that he had so promptly dispatched those letters, which hud to go at once. A few days later he called at the post office there, where he had ma led them, and his own new box was full. He asked for his letters, and, lo, they were the whole lot he had written! Ho was much vexed, and preceeded to scold the postmaster, but that worthy si-lenced him hy showing that every en-velope was marked to bo returned to the writer. "And I done it," said tho postmaster in triumph. Onrll.ld Haaoh.

"How much wat the highest fee you ever got?" "Ten francs a line," replied Dumas. "Bah! that is nothing," said the other gentleman. "I get about half a million trancs for a line." "Really?" rejoined dumas, with an incredulous smile at the apparently out-rageous piece of brag. "Pray, what are you?" "A railway contractor." CAUTION IN STORY TELLINC. A Captain Who (turned No Bridge ftihlnd Him --A Hard Pipe tn Beat. , An adventure was related over a sol-diers' camp fire at San Carlos that is worth preserving, and has not yet been in type. The general of the depart-ment was a guest of the mess, and un-der tie influence of some claret, im-ported for tho occasion, a captain told a story. The captain laid that he bad been fishing in one of the smaller canyons near Fort Apache shortly before, and had hooked an immense trout. He played him up and down stream, be-came intensely excited, and was just about to land him when he beard a fierce growl, and, looking up, he per-ceived a tremendous bear on the op-posite side of the narrow creek. The captain was not anxious to lose his life and the bear was making for him. Neiihor did he careto lose tho tisli. So he quickly transferred the fish pole to his left hand, drew his revolver with his right, killed the bear, and then landed the trout. There was a lull at the end of this story. The bearers waited to bear what the general would say. Pretty soon he asked: "What did you do with the bear, captain?" "Gave him to some Indians," was the reply. "And the fish?" continued the general. "He was such a line one that I put him back inthecrrek. I don't believe in spoil-ing the sport of future i.reriei'atious." There was another lull. Presently the irener.il asked: "Do vou call that ai bear story' or a 'fish story,' Captain?" The captain replied: "I don't call it either." Then agsiin came the gnueral to the charge: Couldn't you till that story up so that you could be killing a rattlesnake with one ot your feet at the same time?" The captain rose aud walked away, There were two caotains in the th j cavalry. Each was proud of his record, j his horses, his family, bis dogs in short, everything that was his. If one had a thing that he particularly prized the other had a better one, or got one, or tried to get one. Captain X. had a very old meerschaum pipe, and, scenting an antiquity, lie sent it to an expert in Now York, who re-turned it with a certificate to the effect that il was 300 years old. Ho impa-tiently waited until the ollicers assem-b.e- d at headquarters the next morniun. exhibited his prize, and read the figures on the expert's certilicnte. Captain B., his rival, declared that his family had a meerschaum pipe that bad been in their possesion for 1)00 years. Now, Captain X. was too polite to remind Captain. B. that neither tobacco nor pipes were known in Europe 000 years ago, aud he went home crushed. There a bright idea occurred to him. He put a figure 1 before the 300 on his certilicate, and bis pipe was certified to be 1300 years obi. The next morning he returned to headquarters, announced that ho had made a mistake in reading the certificate ou the previous day, and that his pipe was really 1310 years old. To prove it he showed'the certificate. i Roland lite I, Koiand Reed has been playing to1 enormous houses throughout the coun-try witn his new play, "Lend Me Your Wife," in which ho will be seen at tho Salt Lake theatre next Friday and Sat-urday. The pre-- s huve everywhere endorsed the piny, and according to the general verdict it is a capital play, and the commedian. as Captain Abner Tar-- ! box, not only presents the greatest of bis life, but one of the cleverest imper-sonations now before the American public. A FnMtirat Straw. New York Mail and Expross. The people of Geo. gia appear to be somewhat excited over the visit of Sen-ator and Colquitt to Govern-or- Senator Hill. The versatile Georgian, although now in his 68th year, is known as an agile follower of the siltatory motions of the political cat. and the Georgians seem to think that if he had not thought Hill was likely to be a bigger man than Cleveland he would not have gone to Albany to pay him a visit.
