NUMBER 345 WILL CUBA BE INVADED? The Spanish Consul Evidently Thinks So at Present. NO PARTY FROM KEY WEST, Bat the Rumor May Have Been Started as a Blind to Cover Another ' Point. Washington, Aug. ft. A telegram from the collector of customs at Key "West ex- - presses the belief that no foundation exists for the report that an expedition has started from there to invade Cuba. The Spanish consul at Key West thinks the rumor a blind to cover a movement from some other point. KELLY DISCHARGED. Justice Kesler Holds That He did Not Sell Liquor on Sunday. In the police court this morning Judge Powers and City Attorney Coad argued the Kelly case. The former contended that the testimony of the witnesses was conflicting, and that all were not positive as to date6. In this counsel argued that the witnesses said that the evidence showed that the wit-ness Rock has sworn to being in Kelly's two weeks ago Sunday or the Sunday previous to July 24. The testimony, Judge Powers said, was not sufficient to remove all doubts as to the defendant's guilt, and where a doubt existed defendant should be dis-missed. The officers' testimony did not not count for anything. They merely saw men going in or out. xhe keeping of a sa-loon open on Sunday is no offense, but, on the contrajy, liquor-- must be sold in order, to constitute the offense. The defendants em-phatically deny selling any liquor; the prosecution have not proven any sale. Ergo the defendant! cannot be convicted. Mr. Coad replied at some length after which the court passed upon the matter. The court said that the proof adduced by the prosecution was that of several witnesses. Thecourt had earef ully considered all the evidence. Some of it is conflicting, the court indicating that portion of the testi-mony he considered as inaccurate. While witnesses were perfectly sincere in their tes-timony there are contradictions and it be seen whether the court is justi-fied in convicting. The court knows that this is an important case and has carefully considered the testimony and holds that the defendant is not guilty. The mere fact of keeping open is not in itself a crime. Mr. Coad then moved to dismiss the other case, which was done. CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT. ' One President Turns His Office Over to Another. Valparaiso, Aug. 6. The newly elected Bolivian congress met today, and in the presence of that body President Arce turned over his office to Baptists, recently elected. The administration of the retiring president has been one of the strongest of recent years, and has done much toward restoring Bolivia to the prosperity enjoyed before the aggressions of Chili deprived that country and Peru of their rightful title to the prov-ince of Atacama, which contains the richest nitrate and guano deposits in South Amer-ica. President Arce's administration has been checkered with many exciting events. Early in 1800 occurred the liberal rebellion headed by General Camacho, an of the republic, against the conservative or clerical party, represented by President Arce. With-in two weeks the president had crushed the rebellion and imprisoned the instigators. A conspiracy against his life in August, 1891, was put down with equal promptitude. President Arce also inaugurated negotia-tions with Paraguay for the purpose of ob-taining an outlet for the products of Bo-livia through the Paraguay river to the At-lantic, the country having no Pacific sea-port since the conquest of Atacama by Chile.. The retiring president in his farewell mes-sage to congress recommends that, in view of the low price of silver, a general reduc-tion should be made in import duties, and a corresponding increase in import duties, es-pecially in that on aleohol. There are twenty-nin- e liberals in both houses of the new congress against forty-nin- e conservatives. Baptista, in order to tret rid of the tire brand Camacho, who led the rebellion against the previous administra-tion, will appoint him minister to Peru. Oth-- ers of Camacho's followers will be given posts in the diplomatic service. Baptita'6 cabinet will be as follows: Senors Luis Pas, Lisi, Maco, Gutierres, Fernandez, Alonsso Joaquin Iehaso, and Coronados. -- .''S'JBJIESS CLUB DAT, It Will Be Celebrated in Fine Style at .'

General Manager Dickenson Must Decide or a Strike Ensues. Denver, Colo., Aug. 6. The situation in the telegraph department of the Union Pa-cific is serious. Grand Chief Telegrapher Ramsey of the Order of Railway Telegraph-ers has issued the following ultimatum: ''To all ccDcerned: Mr. Dickenson has re-quested an extension of time and it has been decided to grant him until 6 p. in. today to communicate with the president and direc-tors. If his answer is unfavorable final in-structions will be wired you." If this ultimatum is ignored it is believed there will be a strike iuvolving not only the order of Railway Telegraphers but also the Federation of Railway Employees, as it is claimed by the operators that the latter or-ganization will support them if necessary to at once enforce their demands. There are 076 operators between Portland, Oregon, and Kansas City on the Union Pacific and should they be ordered out the road will experience great difficulty in moving the great number of spe ial trains during the Knights Templar conclave. Every operator in Denver employed by the Union Pacific is ready to go out and say that indiv dually the railway trainmen are in sympathy with them. CLARK IS THE MAN. Boston, Aug. 6. Inquiry at the general offices of the Union Pacific elicited the in-formation that the trouble between the com-pany and the telegraphers was being handled by President Clark, and nrjt by the directors. Not Yet Captured. Visalia, Cal., Aug. 6.

FOSTER ON THE CURRENCY. He Makes a Ringing Speech Against State Banks, . THE NATIONAL PLAN IS COOD. Opening of the Campaign at Vermillion, Ohio, This Afternoon Fos- - ter's Remarks. Vermillion, O., Aug. 6. The republican presidential campaign opeued here this afternoon in Linwood grove, in the presence of a great throng of people, mostly tanners. Hon. Charles Foster, secretary of the treas-ury, who came from Washington for the purpose, delivered the principal speech of the day, on the currency of the country. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Erie County Agricultural society. In his opinion Foster said it was not per-missible for him to enter on political discus-bion- ; hi6 talk would therefore be largely historical and free from partisanship. Said he, "Since I cornuiuced an investigation of this subject, one f the great parties of the eountry has in effect declared in favor of the rehabilitation of the present discarded sys-tem of state banks." If his hearers should think he exceeded the bounds of propriety in what he should 6ay on the subject, they proposed the substitution of the state bank system for the present national banks. The blame, if any, should rest upon the con-vention and not upon the speaker. The sec-retary then gave a historical account of the American currency from revolutionary times. Speaking of the continental cur-jenc- y for borrowing money he maintained that the government during the late war in-stead of paying the national debts iu green-backs should have paid in coin. The experience of continental cur rency showed the folly of this. The cost of the revolutionary war fell on the patriotic people, who received the currency, while the tories, who refused to accept it, wero the only ones who escaped rnin. The speaker then reviewed the condi-tion of the circulation prior to ISriO, and de-scribed the panics of 1814, 1837 and 1857,and said the derangement of paper currency was the most important factor in each. The banks issued money and encour-aged wildest speculation thereby greatly ag-gravating the results. He then gave an interesting account of the war circulation and the means used by the government to raise money to carry on the contest. Next he dwelt on the length of jthe national bank act of 14, and the change it wrought in the character of the country's paper circulation. Instead of being sub-jected to the extortions of note, shavers as under the state bank Jsystem the holders of national bank notes found them equally good in all parts of the union. And no money has been lost to the people through the Influence of any national bank. The secretary next gave an account of the resumption of specie ipayment and extolled the wisdom of the congress which provided for it The secretary then referred to the restora-tion of the standard silver dollar and the in-crease in tne volume of the money in circu-lation and presented tables showing the amount of money in the United States August 1st, 159.2, which was The amount in circula-tion at the same date was $1,601,940,323. The amount of money per capita was, as determined by the amount in the treasury, $31.09. The circulation per capita $24.41. This, he said, was the greatest per capita circulation the country ever had. Concluding, the secretary said: "To m it eems perfectly clear that if this country is to have any kind of paper money issuefby , . v ... .''B'anks. the national bark system is unc.'-- - :di preferable' to that of the bauks of issue under state authority. If more bank issues are needed they can easily and safely be had. At present there is no profit in the circulation of banks. If our t550,-fXXyiO- O in 4 per cent bonds were extended fifty years at 2 per cent relieving the banks from taxation beyond the cost to the gov-ermc- nt of issuing notes, maintaining the bureau of the comptroller of the currency and permitting them to issue notes up to the par of bonds of banks. I think the banks would freely take these bonds and issue notes upon them, and thus furnish currency to any amount required by the business interest of the country, and at the same time reduce the rate of interest one half to the extent of the bonds taken for such purposes. I am not advising that this be done, but to express my opinion as to the preference of the issue of bank notes by national banks, as against the proposed rehabilitation of the old state bank system." IN ALL THE COURTS. Judge Anderson Says the Blind Goddess Can Take a Best. ADJOURNED UNTIL SEPTEMBER. The Snit of the Rio Grande Western Against the Ogden Depot Company Dis-missed Mew Actions Court Notes. The Blind Goddess, who has been worked pretty hard this year, appealed to Judge Anderson this morning for a rest, and got it. His honor announced that court would not be held again this month, and all matters will gd over until September. Judge Zane will not return from Califor-- , nia to the 1st of next month, when a session of the supreme court will be held to dispose of that phase of the church case arising in the report of Master in Chancery Loof-bouro- w as to the use to be made of h escheated fund. SHE WANTED A BILL. ; Cut She Had No Money to Hire an At-torney. She was a middle-age- d woman, attired in a calico dress, and there was nothing striking about her appearance except her right otic, which wes in deep mourning, aad some lesser ornaments of a like nature whick usually adorn the pugilist after an unsuc-cessful encounter iu the roped arena. TtVe little woman walked along the corridor of the Dooly building, with a small child tagging along on either side, and the woman attract-ed many curious glances from persons of whom sue niadx inquiries as to where she could find the judge. The woman finally found the judge's chambers and walked ia upon Judge Anderson. "Be you the judge?" she asked. His honor admitted that he was one of 'em. "Well, I want a bill," she continued. The court looked a little embarrassed, as though he were trying to figure out whether a $5 William was needed in this case or a 3 bill might do. His visitor noticed this and added: "I mean a divorce." "Have you filed a complaint?" No. she hadn't filed a complaint. In fact, she didn't know what a complaint was and didn't care. Her face ought to bo complaint enough, she thought Her hubby had "batted" her over tha head with his foot, and then gone off with about all their earthly possessions. There was no use talking to her about hiring an attorney. AU the money she had was fifteen cents, and that wouldn't get a first class one. All she wanted was to be free from her brute of a husband so that she might bo free to make a living for herself and chil-dren. The court assured the woman that he was powerless to assist her,but advised her to go and see the clerk and ascertain whether or not he would give her credit for the costs. The last seen of her she was couducting negotiations for getting a divorce on credit B2FORE JUDGE ANDERSON. The Suit of the R. G. V, Against the Depot Company Dismissed.

Three Hundred Kids Perambulate at At-lantic City. Atlantic Citv, N. J., Aug. 6. The people of Atlantic City never knew how many babies there were in that select resort until this afternoon, when the ereat infantile event of the season, the baby parade, took place. There were over three hundred perambu-lators in line, and the number of people who saw the parade is variously estimated at from ten to twenty thousand. The larger number is much nearer correct. People in every walk of life gave something (or did something to make the event a success, and this afternoon the tongue does not move that does not proclaim the raptures of the multitude and the triumph of the babies. The parade started at 3 o'clock, and was led by little Morris Moses, who tips the beam at something over 350 pounds. He was awarded the heavy-weig- honors, besides being much complimented on the success of the event, which had been arranged by him-self and H. Ackley Sackctt, the man who lays claim to having hatched the original baby show idea during his stay at Asbury a couple of years ago. Each baby was pre-sented with a prize for being the prettiest and nicest behaved child on the grounds, and the mothers were accordingly delighted and forthwith set the seal of their approval on baby parades, and tendered a vote of thanks to Messrs. Moses and Sackett. - IS A JACK A HORSE? A Question That Pnzzled New York Kail-roa-d Men. GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS. Will Appeal a Case Eastern Rate War Notes of the Varions Lines. The New York Herald in' a recent issue contained the following: "No better proof is need that the trunk lines are cutting each other's rates in their eagerness to get a car of freight than an in-cident that happened yesterday. It was like the old days at Castle Garden when the hotel runners nearly scalped an immigrant in deciding whose property he was. Ninety-seve- n jacks arrived yesterday from Liv-erpool on the steamer Eunice, bound for the stock farm of Ranchman Perry, near Bruns-wick, Mo. The Broadway contracting agents of the trunk lines are on the alert for every imaginable kind of freight, but they had not been trained to look for jacks. "Their attention was called to the new visitors by the passeajrer agents who meet incoming steamers and have a keen eye for every distinguished individual who is likely to advertise the road. Surely a car load of jackasses would be a great drawing card. One company was notified by cable that the Spanish 'individuals' were coming and it .bought it had a mortgage on the lot. Ranchman Perry was set upon by contract-ing agents before noon and he might have had a free dinner several times over if he had been equal to it. "Of course the railroad's all print their tar-iffs in black and white, but only a shipper knows how hard it is to choose after several contrai ting agents have handled him for a day describing the benefits of their respect-ive routes, 'ihc Erie, Ontario & Western and West Shore agents labored wi.h the farmer all day, but he had not decided last night which route to take. A peculiarity of the Oiiicial classes allows considerable leeway in the case of 'jacks' for cutting rates, and if Ranchman Perry holds off long enough he may get his animals through for a mere song. No doubt there will be a song if tne road that carries them does not treat them better than they do some immi-grants. The Spanish jacks spent last nitrht in a Jersey City stable and they did not par-ticularly like it. On the road a jack weighs more than a horse or a mule, although it is not half as large. Iu less than carload lots a horse is estimated at 3000 pounds for one. But every jack is estimated at 4000 pounds. "At this rate the nine will weigh 36,000 pounds, or nearly enough to fill two car-loads. They can all be put in a single car, and there will still be room for more, but carload rates are cheaper than part carload rates, so that the farmer was not long in finding out that he need not pay for 3ti,000 pounds at 95 cents a hundred, the rate to St. Louis, which would be over $300. At last accounts it is said that he had an off ir for about $135. "The struggle between the companies that cater to jacks will be resumed today." THE EASTERN RATE WAR. It Has Only Just Begun if Indications Count. They are having a nice little rate war back east. The Knights Templar excursion busi-ness is the only thing that the passenger de-partments of the roads are thinking of just now, but next week atteution will be turned to the Knights of Pythias business that is to go to Kansas City. The rate that has been authorized is only one fare for the round trip, but there is not the least likelihood of this figure holding good. The passenger situation is too much demoralized to allow a one fare rate to stand with such a large business to be handled as will be drawn there by the encampment. Already eastern lines have made a rate of $5 from Chicago to Kansas City and return. The rate from Cincinnati is $11. In the meantime Salt Lake people pay full rates. They Will Appeal. "The conviction af the members of the firm at Howell, Jewett & Co., the well-know- n lumber dealers at St. Joseph, Mo., is un-doubtedly going to test the constitutionality of the interstate commerce law," said Spec-ial Agent F. G. Kretschtner of the interstate commerce commission in a recent interview. "The members of the firm of Howell, Jewett & Co., were indicted for conspiracy, being charged with violating the interstate com-merce act by bribing weighmasters of the Western Railway 'eighiDg asseciation to report false weights. Every conceivable question was raised by lhe defense, but the judge overruled the points and the jury re-turned a verdict of guilty. Sentence was postponed to the September term of court. The defendants are making preparations to appeal the case to the United States su-preme court, and everything material to the interstate commerce law will receive the construction of the supreme court." Railroad Notes. General Freight Agent Monroe of the Union Pacific, is in the city today. J. C. O'Melveny has been appointed road-mast- er on the Union Pacific, vice Thomas Byrne, deceased. Six hundred school teachers and friends came up from the south on the Union Pacific today, and are enjoying a bath at Garfield. President Clark of the Union Pacific and General Manager Thorn of the Texas Pacific have been rusticating with Jay Gould at the resorts near Hailey, Idaho.

The Great Northern Railway people are impatient to enter the Pacific Coast trade line, now completed to Spokane, but it will take ten months yet to reach the coast. The management is trying to make traffic arrangements with the Union Pacific for placing a through service on the line at once. This would precipitate a sharp competition between the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific for trans-continental traffic. A consultation with the Union Pacific officials looking to the pro-posed arrangement is now progressing at Omaha. If effected, a war in passenger and freight rates is looked for.

The rej ort of the department of agricul-ture, issued this afternoon, shows that the outlook for crops is excellent, although the potato crop will hardly be as large as usual this year. Grain has ripened everywhere. In all sections harvesting is under w ay, or else has been finished, in the counties east of the lake the cutting is most advanced, and threshing will begin this week. In Juab county raiu ripened faster than it could be cut during the past week. In Iron county the weather has been favorable for harvest-ing. Barley was nearly all cut.

He Names the Califoruian as the Winner and Gives His Reasons Jnck Kelly Wants a Fight Notes. A few days ago, Macon, whose opinion on pugilists perhaps carries more weight than that of any authority in the country, was asked if he really believed Corbett had a one to three chance against Sullivan. As a good many dollars are being put up here on the great battle, perhaps his answer will be of fnterest to Salt Lake sports. Macon said: I will answer Yankee fashion by explaining. I believe that Sullivan will go into the ring as well and as strong as it will be possible for him to be. If, while he is fresii and strong, or even comparatively so, he is able to land his right on the point of Corbett's jaw, I will be much surprised if the contest does not terminate then and there. In that event, Jim won't have one chance in a thousand. If, on the other hand, Sullivan is unable to get home with his right, while he is fresh and strong, and he is compelled to fight Corbett at long range, I believe (barring the chapter of ac-cidents) Corbett will win beyond the perad-ventur- e of a doubt. I may be wrong, but that is my opinion. I don't believe &ay man (not even John Morrissey) ever lived who could counter-hi- t with, J$u)tivait.or . wiisjtid, one of his right-hande- rs on the point' of the jaw, but it must be remembered that he has never been able to land his right squarely ou the jaw of a real clever man. The most scientific men he ever met were Dom McCaffrey and Charley Mitchell. Hj wasn't in condition when he met McCaffrey in Cincinnati, but he was thoroughly trained (perhaps overtained), when he met Mitchell at Chantilly. He didn't land squarely on the jaw of either of these men and he had plenty of time to do so. He is a good deal slower now than he was when he met Mitch-ell, and he is going against a man far quicker and cleverer than either Dom or Charley. If his right fails him in the coming encounter, what has he to hope for? He isn't nearly so big nor strong as the big French wrestler, Appollon, who met the German champion a few days ago. I should give a most emphatic affirmative to the question. Sporting Splinters. Ogden's new Athletic club appears to have come to stay. Jake Skelly will win a bride if he wins his battle with George Dixon, and incidently $17,500. The Denver Sun base ball team is expected in Ogden today to play with the Junction City team. Jim William was given a warm reception when he appeared at the William-McHug- h fight at Ogden on Thursday night. Isaac Murphy, once the greatest jockey, has dropped" almost from the public gaze. He lost a few races and with them his popu-larity. Jack Kelly of New York, popularly known as Richard K. Fox's "cast iron man" is heading this way. He is now in Denver and wants to fight Billy Woods. If there has been a rupture between Sulli-van and his trainer, as reported, the latter knows nothing about it. It is true that Casey left the big fellow on Saturday after-noon last, but it was by previous arrange-ment. Private business in Brooklyn de-manded his attention, and Charley Johnston, Sullivan's backer, fully sanctioned Casey's visit. It was Casey's intention to return to Canoe Place inn on Monday afternoon, but the death of an old Brooklyn friend caused him to remainver. DEVOTED TO VICTORIA. Saved Her Money for Fifty Years in Order to Visit England's Queen. - LoisriKMf, An : 6. The 'Eagliabtpress io? the last few days has been paying tribute to the touching faithfulness of a little negro woman seventy-si- x years of age, who has come to England from Monrovia, West Af-rica, for the purpose of seeing the queen, whom she calls the friend and mother of the slave. The name of the queen's Ethiopian ad-mirer is Martha Ann Rix. She was born in slavery in the United States, but was taken to Liberia. There the old lady has lived ever since, and years ago she formed the inten-tion of visiting the queen, of whose services toward the emancipation of the black race she seems to have an exaggerated idea. She has been saving her little earnings for fifty years, and has just accumulated the requisite amount to make the voyage. During the long years she ha waited she has employed her spare time making and embroidering a satin quilt for her majesty. A number of prominent residents of Liverpool have in-terested themselves in her, and will endeavor to arrange for her presentation at court. w . AMERICA'S DELEGATES.

Guthrie, Okla., Aug., 6. At midnight Kate Patterson of Crescent City walked in her night clothes with a double-barrele- d shot gun to her lover's house and called him out and shot at him. She then placed the muzzle of the gun in her mouth and with her bare feet pulled the trigger and blew her brains out. Jealousy was the cause of her rash act. . m . TRYING IT AGAIN. Michigan Democrats Again Attempt a Re-- A pportionment. Lansing,, Mich., Aug. 6. The legislature reconvened in special session this morning to pass a bill. The senate this afternoon passed the bill reported by its apportionment committee and the house passed what is known as the White bill, presented at the first session. Both bills are satisfactory to the republicans. Harry Bomaine in Puck. .We admiringly styled him "The-Man-Wit- h He always declined our proffered cigars; pleasantly and politely enough, though somewhat regretfully, as we could easily see. At such times the light of an indom-itable purpose shone in his clear, gray eyes, and his jaw closed with a 6et and firm ex-pression. He modestly disclaimed any intention of "swearing oft," but said he was trying to see how little smoking, he could get along with. His success won our highest admiration. Not even when the ladies had retired for the night, and the men adjourned to the smok-ing room, could he be induced to temper his bottle of "Dog's Head" with a single cigar. While the rest of us smoked like chimneys as we told entirely trustworthy tales of ad-ventures with the fair Bex and other hazard-ous enterprises, he sat and gazed at us through the fragrant, blue haze erect, calm and unshaken. . Our wonder was unbounded. As Tom said, anyone could stop smoking at home. But who could go out of town to have a jolly time with a lively and congenial party, and not have his resolutions torn to tatters. De-cidedly, no one but a man with an iron will. And so he won his sobriquet. One evening Tom and I were seated on the piazza talking about the probable effect of free silver on our respective businesses his consisting of yachting and lounging at the club, and mine of writing for the papers when we heard footsteps around the cor-ner, and then two people dropped into chairs within easy earshot, but out of sight. Then ont of the silent darkness came the sound of a voice, girlish in caliber, and yet, almost wifely in its scornful, imperious tone: "Then you repent of youf bargain," it said- - "No," answered a masculine voice, in which we recognized the familiar accents of the Man With the Iron Will; "I don't repent; but it's awfully hard, you know. Sometimes it seems as though I should go crazy, espec-ially when the men get together in the smoking room after the ladies have gone up stairs. Couldn't you allow me just one little cigar, then?" "Oh, very well if you think more of your cigars than you do of me," began the girl. "No no, I don't!" protested the Man With the Iron Will, hastily. "Ah, my dar-ling, I think more of you than all the cigars Havana has ever produced. I " But this wildly incredible statement was too much for Tom and me. We rose and stole away, weary and sick at heart. . Since then we cherish no enthusiasms for men with iron wills. . a i GREAT EVENT IN COLORADO. Deaf and Dumb Congress Begins a Ses-sion This Morning. Colorado Springs, Aug. 6. The largest gathering of people interested in the educa-tion of the deaf and dumb was called to order here today under the- - presidency of Alexander Bell, the great telephone expert. Nearly two thousand delegates attended the first session, including superintendents of nearly all the deaf and dumb institutions in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and delegates from all the societies in North America interested in the work. The delegates expect to accomplish great things for the deaf and dumb, one of the principal subjects to be considered being a system of phonetic manual for discussion devised by Edmund Lyon of Rochester, N. Y. The consideration of this matter will oc-cupy a large part of the four days during which the convention will remain in session. TWO KILLED And Several Injured in a Collision Last Evening.

Zimmerman's Return. Asburt Park, Aug. 6. Arthur A Zimmer-man, the crack American wheelman, covered with the glory of his recent triumphs in England, made his first appearance since his return today at the mid summer meet of the Asbury Park wheelmen. There will be over a dozen races today and Zimmerman will take part in several of them, although the event are not of a nature to put him on his y mettle. During his recent stay in England he won over two-third- s of the races he en-tered in, and would probably have van-quished the invincible Osmond but for the fact that that gentleman carefully avoided a meeting with nim. WATER FOR ST. LOUIS. How the Thirsty Missonrians Will Obtain Something on the Side. St. Louis, Aug. 7. The new water works at St Louis are now nearly completed, and the supply will be so far in excess of present requirements that a proposition has been made to supply eight or ten neighboring towns with water b meter. There are nearly 100,000 people living in suburban towns within half an hour's ride of St. Louis, and these towns are badly off for drinking water. It is proposed to supply them from the city, which will thus derive a revenue outside its own limits. The idea is a novel one but meets with general approval. Mrs. Harrison Rapidly Improving. Loon Lake, Aug. 6. All reports as to the previous condition of Mrs. Harrison are en-tirely false. She has been rapidly improv-- 1 ing ever since her arrival here. Muller Olsen. One of the most popular young ladies in this city is, or more properly 6peakifig was, Miss Ella Olsen. Possessed of unusual beauty, an accomplished musician and a charming entertainer, her society was much sought- - It will surprise a good many of her friends to hear that she is now married. Frank F. Muller, who was connected with a commercial agency here for some time, won the pi ize, and it is said that there is a little romance behind it. The parties were mar-ried in Denver on June 7 last, and they have just returned to Zion. Although it is a little late. The Times joins with the host of friends of the happy couple in wishing them all joy. A Ride on the Lake. A party of which one of The Times staff was a member enjoyed a very pleasant excursion on the lake last evening in Messrs. Woods & Wilkes' 6teamer Talula. The trip is a very enjoyable one and is one of tne leading attractions at the beach. The boat is a magnificent one and was especially con-structed to ply on the waters of Great Salt Lake, so the would-b- e passenger is assured of safety and comfo't at once.

A DISGUSTING SPECTACLE. The Howling Dervishes Give an Exhibi-tion at Madison Square. New York, Aug. 6. The howling and whirling Dervishes on their way to Chicago, to perform their religious rites for the pub-lic amusement gave a performance at Madi-son Square garden. The spectacle was shocking and many went away disgusted. The bowlers abused themselves with sharp pointed instruments and ate glass. They tortured a big snake and then ate it. The whirlers 6wing about in a circle until so dizzy they nearly swooned and grovelled at the feet of the high priests. . e . Long May She Wave. Ottawa, III., Aug. 6: Ottawa commandrv Knights Templar, ieft for Denver this morn-ing, bearing what is claimed to be the first American flag ever carried on a pilgrimage by any Knights Templar commandry. The Capitol Deserted. Washington, Aug. 6. Rows of empty seats and desks littered with documents, heaps of waste paper, dust and dirt and the heavy and oppressive atmosphere, with a senator or congressman occasionally wan-dering in and out, were all that remained at the Capitol today to remind one of the Fifty-secon- d congress. ' Nearly all of the members have already gone or are prepar ing to go home. A Terrible Showing. New York, Aug. 6.

Florence, in his "Handbook of Poker," gives the following rules: Push your luck when winning; stay oul when losing until a little better hand than the average comes to you. The only hand to stand pat on, other than . a genuine one, is a hand without a pair and nothing to draw to. It is often proper to discard four cards and draw to an ace. The draw to an ace and king is folly. When holding the ace a good player al-ways draws one to a bobtail. The value of bobtail straights and flushes increase di-rectly with the number of players at the ta-ble.! Before a bet is made, should a player ask the dealer how many cards any other player drew, the latest decision is that the dealer is bound to answer. If most of the other players are in, the chances of drawing an ace or a king are not quite so good as those of drawing a small card, because the other players are more likely to be staying in on high than on low cards. Where there are only a few playing and full hand of aces or kings pat is dealt, it is better to mask the strength of the hand by throwing away the small pair, or one of them at least. Bluffing is a necessary part of the game as best played. In opening jackpot, if the player has openers only, it is the best play to open for the limit It is considered an excellent rule to open a jack pot whenever you can. In poker the number of players should be limited to six. Five is the best number, but seven can play. Going to Loon Lake. Albany, N. Y., Aug. 6.
