She next went to the Paris Opera Cotnique aud sang the part of Countess in "Xozze di Figaro," the soprano part in "Lalla Rookh," Pamiua in "II Flauto Ma-gico- ," and the principal part in "Chevalier Jean." Mine. Calve afterward made a tour of Italy, and appeared successfully in Milan, Rome, Naples ar.d in Florence. Her debut in London was made at the Covent Garden at the beginning of the season just ended. She sang the part of Sautuzza in "Caval-leri- a Rustic-ana,- and is said to have won much praise, not aloae for her sinking:, but for her cting. She afterward appeared as Suzel iu Maseaurni's lattr work, "L'Amico Fritz," and is said to have added much to the first impression formed of her work. ' DRAMATIC NOTES. Among theater-goer- s iu Salt Lake, Sol SmitL Russell may be regarded as a general favorite. It will be a source of gratifica-tiont-o all lovers of refined comedy in this city to learn that Mr. Russell is to appear here again shortly in his unique creation of Uosea Howe in the successful play, "Peace-ful Valley." This role affords him an op-portunity to show his marked ability and wide range as an actor. Free from atiected ways and artificiality, Mr. Russell's acting is both natural and magnetic. In-tuitively his audiences are moved tolaughter or tears, in sympathy with the moods of this clever actor. Mr. Russell's engagement in Salt Lake opens next Friday niirht with the play of "A Poor Relation," which has been seen here before. On Saturday night ''Peaceful A'alley" will be presented. "Spike" Heunesscy and "Kid" McCoy will use a brand new set of burglar's im-plements in the great scene in "The Stowaway" this season. These tools were bequeathed to Hennessey by a former partner in the burglary industry who died of spinal meningitis in New York. AA II. Crornpton gives an excellent idea of his capabilities as an actor by his tine per-formance of the part of Andrew Knowlton, the owner of the Knowlton iron works, in "The Lost Paradise." It is an nrtistic and well-rounde- d impersonation. He is thor-oughly in touch with the character, which he makes to harmonize perfectly with the author's lines. Mr. Crornpton will be seen with the Frohman company during the en-gagement in this city next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Especially timely is the play "The Lost Paradise" as presented by Charles Frohman's company. Dealing as it does with the labor question and its conflicting relations, a vslu- - able object lesson is presented. Henry C. De Mille, the author of the play, has been careful not to draw offensive conclusions, merely adroitly placing conditions before the audience and allowing them to deduct their own opinions. This issue is made to harmonize with a love story tenderly sympathetic and absorbingly interesting, so the transition from the drawing-roo- to the factory is done smoothly without disturbing the artistic tone, or involving melodramatic incongruities. The moral it teaches comes with striking application just at this time, when the trouble at Carnegie's immense works at Homestead has been attended with such serious and unfortunate features. The piece suits Mr. Frohman's company more perfectly than anything it has yet presented. William Morris has a sterling role of a young factory superintendent, while AV. II. Crornpton, Orrin Johnson, Cyril Scott, James O. Barrows, Odette Tyler, Etta Hawkins, Maude Adams, Annie Adams and Elaine AVilson are all prominently cast. The factory scene in the second act will be a duplication of the original production of the piece and scenic investure will be complete. The first engagement in Salt Lake last month was an unqualified success, but the return visit next Tuesday and AVednesday nights will be even uore successful it is confi-dently expected. The Times appends a short sketch from the Chicago Herald of Mmc. Calve, the prima donna engaged by Mr. Abbey for' the coming Beason. Mme. Calve is a French woman. Her father was a civil engineer, and died while his daugther was very young. Thrown upon her own resources, she deter-mined on pursuing a musical carreer, and went to Paris, where she took lessons under Marchesi Laborde and other professors. At that time she showed evidences ot having rich, sweet and powerful voice of large com-pass, and continually improved it. Her first public appearance was made in 1SS2 at the Theater de la Monnaie, in Brus-sels, when she appeared as Margherita in "Faust." Her success is said to have been FOR SALE.

F. AUERBACH & BR0. COAST HATE-CUTTIN- Gr . AN INTERSTATE OFFICIAL CATCH-ES FRISCO AGENTS NAPPING. ' lie Buys Transportation Under the ;uiHt of a Jeutnre Stranger A Cut In Bated Over Clipper The Halt Lake A. Han Franrinco Railroad Aotcs and Personals. A case of rate-cuttin- g between the Union Pacific railways on east-boun- d passenger rates Las been reportad. It has hitherto been presumed that nothing of this sort has been going on. But the report comes from Sau Francisco, and from what has been published about the niatter it would appear as if this business bud been goiug on a long time. Mo6t likely it will stop for awhile owing to the action of a United States official in the employ and under the direction of the Interstate Com-merce commission. The Chronicle relates the story thus: "Of course, rate-cuttin- g on the sly is as constant as the sun. Six agents declared yesterday, "This office, sir, is the only one on the street that never cuts rates." These are dull times, and temptations are great when business is slow. On Wednesdav after- noon a man with a blue suit, a derby" hat. a gray mustache and a business .air w ent into the Denver iV Rio Grande Western office to get three first-clas- s tickets to Chicago for himself and two ladies. He kicked at the regular rate, Intimated that he could do bet-- ter across the street, and finally, so the story goes, got a cut of $12 on the three tickets which he bought. A half hour later he stood before TickeUeller White, in the Mis-souri Pacific office, making the same pro- tests against paying the regular rates, and finally he negotiated a cut of $18 on three tickets. Mr. White stepped down to the Denver & Rio Grande Western office to get the tickets over that connecting line, and while he was gone Mr. Welch, the street agent of the Missouri Pacific and Texas Pa-cific, came in and engaged the waiting buyer In conversation. No, the buyer didn't want Pullman car accommodations, lie didn't know just when he would go, as one of the ladies was sick, and so on. Welch grew suspicious and skipped down to the Denver & Rio Grande otliee to stop the sale. He heard about the same sort of a fellow buving there, and the clerk that sold them went back with Welch and White. He winked his identification, and the buyer was told how sorry Mr. Welch was that the tickets could not be had just then. It was not long before it was heard that the gray-mustache- d man had patronized the Lnion Pacific office, and the rumor wassoou generally, accepted that he was a detective in the employ of the Interstate Commerce commission. One or two of the agents had received tips a few weeks ago that such a fellow was drifting westward, and now the agents are all surelhat he hag a gray mus-tache. Some suspicious purchases in two or three other offices are heard of and con-nected with the quiet business boom the man with the gray mustache got up. .If that is the man's business here he will soon tile with the Interstate Commerce com- - mission some evidence that the law is being violated in San Francisco. Nobody could get a cut of 25 cents yesterday, and the agents arts likely to remain good for some time. Of course no one will even intimate that such naughty proceedings were ever in-dulged in by the agents iu Salt Lake. CLIfPKKS COMPETE WITH RAILROADS. If the new railroad from Salt Lake to San Francisco was only in operation it is possi-ble freight rates from New York City and other eastern points to this inter-mountai- n metropolis would be much lower than now. The coast people have wearied of the exorbi-tant tiirures on their way-bill- s and, as fore-shadowed in these columns a few days ago, are aiding in every w ay possible the lines of clipper ships that make the trip around the lioiti. A committee of the San Francisco Trallic association met a day or two ago and decided to encourage clipper lines to the ex-tent of iheir ability. A San Fraucisco paper frays: "Every effort will be made to increase the number of wholesale merchants joining in the agreement to ship all goods possible by the clipper lines aud subscribing to a guar-nnte- e fund to make good any losses incurred l:i the operation of both lines. Thirty-fiv- e pthroamt inent merchants are in the syndicate is backing the Grace & Co. line, and the guarantee fund they have subscribed amounts to f 85,(X0, of which the Traffic as-sociation subscribed 10,(XX). AA'ith the num-ber of merchants joining in the movement largely increased and the agreements made binding for one year, the clipper ships will sail the seas undisturbed by any competi-tion or warlike moves by rival lines or the Southern Pacific company. "The future still threatens a general war and smashing of rates, the nature and end of which cannot be foretold, but amid all the uncertainty of the near future the chief cer-tainty that remains appears to be the fact that the clipper lines will keep right on pro-viding sea transportation at little more than cost to the San Francisco merchants who choose to vail themselves of it. The next best certainty is that the competition of the sea now eetablished will produce a lasting reduction of through rail rates. Jt may also be taken as a certainty, if the statements of Southern Pacific officials may be relied Upon, that the railroad compauy will soon begin a vigorous war against the new car-riers to retiin the business. "What will be the outcome of the South-ern Pacitic's threats must remain a mat-ter of speculation for some time. Should the company cut loose from both the Trans-continental association and the AVestern Traffic association," said W. A. Bisscll, general freight and passenger agent at the Atlantic and Pacific yesterday, '"there would be a general demoralization of all railroad business. There would be absolutely noth-ing to maintain rates but the interstate com meree law, and I do not think the Southern Pacific wants such a condition of affairs. The ocean is hero and we can't wipe it out and we cannot prevent ocean competition. All we can do Is to neutralize it as well as we can, and one way to do. it is to make lower rates." THAT SAX FRAXCISCO L1XE. The new road from San Francisco to Salt Lake is already regarded as an assured fact. It is attracting much attention in the East. A recent issue of the Chicago Herald says: "The proposed new railway line between San Francisco and Ogden will be called the San Francisco A Great Salt Lake railroad. The directorate has been increased to fifty members, holding office until the prelimin-ary work is completed. The road will be tH)0 miles lone. The financing was greatly hindered by Southern Pacific officials, who offered large concessions in the sale of Southern Pacific securities to capitalists who had agreed to put money into the new line. In some cases the offers were accepted, but members of the directorate claim there will be nd further delay in securing money for construction. NEW ROUTE TO THE COAST. The latest news anent the proposed San Francisco & Salt Lake railroad comes from Chicago, by the telegraph route, a dispatch received in this city yesterday giving the gist of a private letter from a Sun Francisco to a railroad man in the Windy City, as fol-lows: "The people of San Francisco are called upon only to subscribe for enough of the securities to show that they mean business. They are assured that enough money will be forthcoming to build the line. Matters nave ironc fu f:r that officials have already fccen chosen. Mr. Leeds will be either pres-ident or traffic manage r, and at least two officials from Chicago lines and one from St. Louis will become officials of the San Francisco &. Salt Lake railroad. Gould him-self has been in Colorado and Oregon for the last month. His health was ostensibly the object of his visit, but he is known to ba in almost constant consultation with finan-cial iiien from SanHFraneisco and the East. It would surprise but few prominent rail-road officials if Gould's apparent Inaction of the past two years has been taken up in work which will end in the completion of a brand-ne- transcontinental line closely allied with his own. In .no other way, either, could he so completely pay off the accumulation of grudges ho has against President Huntington of the Southern Pa-cific." CREAM OF THE NEWS. - AV. E. Hubbard sold two lots in Norwood Place to 8. Williamson for $4U0. The Deubalter band returned --from Denver yesterday, much pleased with their trip. It is said that visiting Knights Templar to Denver invested fully f 1,000,000 in Colorado miues. " An organ recital, open to the public, will be given at the Tabernacle tomorrow morn-- , ing at 10 a. rn. Everybody is invited. The city council will, beginning this even- - ing, sit for ten days as a board of equaliza- - tion. Every disgruntled taxpayer will be given an opportunity to be heard". Chief Stanton, who was the captain-gener-of the Utah battalion at the conclave, was interviewed by the Denver reporters last week as to the efficiency of the Denver tire department. Dr. Smith, the penitentiary physician, de-clares that Albert Kerm, the reputed desper-ado, is a "quitter," and that he has no more lead in him than a chicken could conven-iently walk away with. Religious services are now held every Sunday afternoon in the county jail. Two gentle workers in the vineyard ,have the meetings in charge, and firmly believe that their work is bearing fruit. Hon. Marvin E. Hall of Hillsdale, Mich., the newly-electe- d commander-in-chie- f of the Sons of Veterans, escorted by a body-guar- d of lifteen of his staff, passed through this city to the East Sunday night. The county clerk today issued marriage licenses to Philip Roberts, aged 65, and Mary McComie, aged 45, both of Salt Lake; and to Quin Dodsoa, aged 28, and Josephine Larsen, atred 10, both of this city. Sheriff Burt now has eleven insane pa-tients in hie custody. His star performer is ite wis, mc siayer oi iner, me sanay oaroer, with Austin, the L'tah National bank hold-u- p and cigarette fiend, a close second. Denver raised $100,000 to spend in adver-tising at the Knights Templar conclave there, some business men subscribing as much as $1000 to the fund. For a similar purpose Salt Lake put up $70. There were two fires yesterday, one iu August AVahlquist's blacksmith shop, at (133 East Third South, whi :h was destroyed at, a loss of $200, with no insurance; the other was a barber shop at 2(57 Main, which was burned $150 worth. No cause was shown for either blaze.

The Times acknowledges the receipt of an invitation to attend the first picnic of the B. F. Peixotto Lodge No. 421, order of B'nai Brith nt Calder's park on the 22d inst. It will be held in the evening and the motto of the order, "Benevolence, Motherly Love and Harmony," will be exemplified to all who may attend. SPORTING WORLD. SULLIVAN STILL A HOT FAY0E-IT- E IN THE BETTING. He Will Enter the King Twenty Ponndiit Heavier Than Corbett "The Times"? Will Be Represented at the Ringside The Canoe Eaee and Croquet Tournament Today-Gene- ral Sporting Xtwi. The Sullivan-Corbc- tt fight is 60 close at hand that speculation on the result is use-less. The gladiators have practically finished their training and will simply keep in con-dition from this time on. In New York, Boston and New Orleans, Sullivan continues to be a hot favorite in the betting, but the sporting authorities still insist that the Cal-iforni-should win. Corbett will enter the ring at 188 pounds, while Sullivan will tip the beam' at 208. The Times will be represented at the Ringside by M. J. Kennedy of this city, who will leave for New Orleans next Sunday with a party of Salt Lakers! DIXON AND SKELLT. George Dixon, the champion bantum weight of the world, is now in New Orleans. Dixon says he is in the best of health, and he looks it. Even now he is in pretty fair condition, and it will take but very little work for him to do the weight stipulated in the articles governing his fight with Skelly. Manager O'Rourke said yesterday: "Dixon hasn't got this man Skelly sized up for a chump. Anybody that can get backing for $5000 must have shown some speed to get such money. There is no bunkum about the stake. Here are the articles," said O'Rourke, as he brought a piece of type-written paper from his pocket. "The money is up with George Dickinson, sporting editor of the New York World, and the bet is on the level," continued the col-ored fighter's manager. Dixon doesn't know just where he will train when he reaches New Orleans. VAN HEE3T WANTS A CAANCE. George R. Clark of Chicago, backer of Johnny Van Heest, writes in reply to the proposition of Sol Smith to fisht Van Heest at the California Athletic club for a $2500 purse and waarer $2500 with Mr. Clark that Smith would win. Vice President R. Valen- - tine, in behalf of the California club, offered the $2500 purse. Mr. Clark answers as fol-lows: "I would not think of going to San Francisco for a purse of less than $5000, as I have stated. Should Van Heest w in it would mean no money for him afterward on the road. I have no one in San Francisco whom I could trust to train my man. and I could not go there myself. I want George Dixon or no one as an antagonist for Van Heest. As the public well knows if Van Heest can defeat Dixon he can make easy monev on the road. Van Heest will have to come next with Dixon. The Olympic club made a great mistake in taking Jack Skelly. I do not know what men were thinking of to give ST500 for a man who never had a finish tight and to take him in preference to A'an Heest, who has to his credit tifty-tw- o tights with no defeat. Van Heest against Dixon would have given the Olympics a battle which would have been worth the price they charge for it, and, who-ever won, every spectator would have been satisfied. All the Chicago sporting writers regard the putting of Skelly against Dixon with amazement." BFOKTIXO SPLINTERS. William A. Brady, Corbett's manager, has completed arrangements for his trip to New Orleans, having selected the Piedmont Air line. The train, which will be called the 'Corbett special," will leave Asbury park at 4 o'clock p. m., September 1, and will make the run in forty hours, arriving at New Orleans at 7:30 in the morning of Septem-ber 3. The train that Sullivan and his party will take needs fifty hours to do the dis-tance. The party that will accompany Cor-bett will be composed of Mike Donovan Jim Daly, Denny Dillon and Bill Delaney. They will have a vestibule car and a special car fitted with a punching bag and other ap-paratus. Dixon will light at 113 pounds, about twelve pounds less than he weighed when in Salt Lake. Corbett will enter the ring at 1S3 pounds, aud as fit to tight for the place he covets as any man that ever stepped between the ropes. He has done magnificent work dur-ing the past three months, and he is almost ready now to go into the ring. Big Jim McA'eah says he is the slrouirest man he ever encountered and by far the quickest boxer he ever saw. Captain AA'illiams, of the Olympic club of New Orleans, will shortly sail for England to try and get an opponent for Bob s. The L. A. AV. racing board will be asked to grant permission to have the race for the mayor's cup at the Park avenue race me?et open to the world for a record. If granted, an frffort will be made to have Osmond and the other leading English cracks compete. All the stakes in the Hall-Pritchar- d light are posted and the battle will surelv take pla ;e August 22.

Andrew Jensen, a wheeler at the Hanover sme'.ter, was run down and crushed to death Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock under the iron wheels of a Rio Grande Western en-gine that pulled train No. b out of the city a short time before. Coroner Harris was noti-fied and the remains were brought to the city and an inquest held this morning. The witnesses were the conductor and engineer of the train, and a number of section men. It appeared from the evidence that Jensen and a companion named Danielson had been down to the smelter company's boarding house to see a friend. They were returning when the train came up behind them. The engineer whistled twice when within about 2o0 feet of the men. Danielson stepped off the track, but Jensen ran ahead and tried to cross a cattle guard before leaving the track. The engineer saw that Jensen could not make it and reversed his engine. But it was too late, the cowcatcher striking the un-fortunate man, breaking his leg and crush-ing his head to a pulp. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with these facts. Jensen was a native of Sweden, where he left a wife and family about three months ago. He was 40 years of aie. . The railroad compauy was notified of the accident, but refused to contribute anything toward the burial and referred the matter to the county. . PERSONAL PARACRAPHS. George A.

Grannis, a prominent young Duluth, Minn., attorney, is in the city, and called at the Chamber of Commerce to compare rail-road notes with Secretary Sears today. Hon. David Hutchinson of Pittsburg, Pa., is in the city as the guest of Governor Thomas. Mr. Hutchinson was. one of the founders of the Republican party in Pennsyl-vania and a delegate to the convention that nominated Fremont in 1S56.

They Want to Advertise Salt Lake at the National Grand Encampmenb The following communication has been sent to the chamber of commerce on behalf of the Salt Lake Knights of Pythias: Secretary Chamber of Commerce: Dear Sik I take the liberty of addressing you upon a matter in the interests of the city. The Knights of Pythias are contemplating goincr from here to KausasCity '.o attend the grand encampment of the order on August 23 to 27, live days' meeting. An effort is being made to send the uniform division of Salt Lake in a body, and with it a band, if possible. Now, this is Salt Lake's grand opportunity to slip in and help us out, and in return get an immense amount of adver-tising all over the United States, for men will be there from every part of the country. AA'e could take along in our spscial car all the literature you could spare to distribute on the way and while in the camp. Please present this matter to the chamber of com-merce, and also to all business men in the city. It will be worth a great deal to Salt Lake in the future. I am certain that this rauve will pay, as we go from here some 300 strong and we intend to open a Utah headquarters in Kansas City. Please see your president, who I know is a public-spirite- d man, and ask his advice. Yours trul-- , AA A. McKenzie. Following is Secretary Sear's reply: IF. A. McKrnzit, Exq.: Dear Sir Your favor of even date received. I fully appreciate the good which might be done by following out your sugges-tions, but we are powerless to help you financially. AVe exhausted our resources by sending four men to Denver last week to work among the Knights assembled there. The-- e men, in sonic cases, paid all their own expenses, and in others partly paid them. AVhen yon are advised of the fact that only eight men in the whole city could be found who were willing to contribute for this pur-pose, and only one hotelman among them, you will see how useless it would be to start out so soon again to raise funds for the pur-pose you suggest. Unless the citizens see the necessity for such work, it is useless to attempt it. Yours truly, S. YV. Sears, Secretary. President Donnellan will call a meeting of the director. of the chamber to consider the matter, and it is to be hoped that the result will be favorable. GOSSIP OF THE TOWN. "My advice to all office-holdin- g patriots," said an erstwhile prominent Liberal re-cently to a group of "the faithful," "is for every mother's son of them to secure a berth as a janitor of some building before the next election." Of the dozen or more listeners, not one was able to frame a reply or voice a query. "My experience with them," he contin-ued, "has demonstrated that while the- - are anxious to confer, advise and work with their leaders before election after the polit-ical persimmons have been picked, they pur-sue their way with a blissful disregard for their political obligations, which cannot be ascribed to ignorance. How in the world they can expect their leaders to hold the party together under such a state cf affairs is beyond my powers of comprehension." There was another pause, but "the faithful" still "sawed wood." "Those fellows," he resumed, "who sit in the council, unless curbed at once, will scat-ter the Liberal party like chaff before a Kansas cyclone, and I for one feel like seek-ing the shelter of a dugout before the storm breaks." Still "the faithful" responded not, and the patriot ambled disgustedly down the street. "The handwriting is on the wall," ob-served a Liberal yesterday, "and The Times is responsible for the chirographic display. AVithin ninety days there will be no Liberal party if the present poiicy of the adminis-tration is maintained, and then what a hades of a fix the pQfr old Tribune will be in. It will then enjoy the distinction of being the only paper in the United States without a party. It has been a great paper in its day. but, oh, how have the mighty fallen! " and the disgruntled patriot resumed his inter-rupted reading of Tnn Times. Senator Moran takes the proposed veto of his eight-hou- r ordinance with characteristic stoicism, and in answer to all inquiries says: "1 am still a Liberal, aud am actin? in this matter in consonance with the! platform of my party as well as that of the Democratic party in this city. Both parties are pledged to look after the interests of the workingmeu, and so Ion? as I am a meufber of the city council my voice will be lifted up iu advocacy of their rights. I defy anyone to consistently pointout a defect in the phraseology of the ordinance, and I fear that there is more behind the attack upon it than has yet been presented to the public ken. At any rate it is a Liberal measure, and I am proud of the fight I have made for it. There will be no red-eye- d regret about me, and I only hope the 'other fel low' will be able to say the same." Yesterday I met a Salt Lake Kuight who had just returned from the great conclave at Denver. He was very enthusiastic over the result, and said: "This conclave is a great thing for the AVest. It required lots of pluck and enterprise for a town like Denver to un-dertake such a task, but it was carried through in grand style. Denver spent $100, 000 in decoratins: the city and entertain-ing tbe visitors; the ""Knights, at the lowest calculation, spent $5,000,000, 60 that nothing was lost on the outlay. Denver will con-tinue to reap bene tits from its enterprise for years. There were about fifty-fou- r Utah Knight in line iu tbe graud parade, and we did our share in entertaining. We joined w ith AA'yoiniug and gave a reception one eveuing, and our rooms were crowded with visitors. I found that the Knights generally were well informed on Utah affairs, aud hundreds of them expressed the hope that before many vears a conclave might be held in Salt Lake." Ilygela at Hotel T.empleton. Off For Yellowstone. A merry party of visitors from the East leave for Yellowstone park tomorrow at 10 a. ra., via the Union Paeiflc. The party in-cludes S. P. Hamilton, wife and two children; L. McNeill and W. G. Peacock, of Georgia; Dr. S. Shaw and wife and C. Mor-rison and wife of FortAVayne, Indiana; Irvin Pope and J.T. AUi son, of Tyler, Texas; Dr. Peter Buskey and wife, of Erie, Pa., and D. A. Sandey of Cleveland, Ohio. Others will probably join as the rate is $35 for the round trip, stage and all included. This is the lowest rate ever made in the history of park excursions from Salt Lake. m Try Hygeia Ginger Ale. Dry Sunday. Sunday was a quiet day in Salt Lake City as regards saloon closing. A thirsty man who wanted beer could not get it. The chief of police says one saloon sold all day, but he must have had a quiet tip on a "speak cay," for he seems to be the only man who knew anything of the matter. Policemen were stationed all round the city, aud the manner in which they viewed side-doo- r entrances was refreshing. Only one drunk was arrested all day aud he doubtless had a bottle at home. There i3 nothing to equal Hygeia. Saratoga Kit cel. Saratoga, Aug. 15. First race One mile aud a furlong; Badger won, Anna second, Kimberly third. Time,l:57.
