Show GOSSIP OF THE TOWN. In reading a Philadelphia paper this morn-ng, morn-ng, I learned that the demure Quaker maids have a new fad. It seems that a gallant offered of-fered to tie the laces of one of the Quaker maid's shoes when she answered: "Oh, it isn't untied, don't you know; it's only a way we have of making the men notice us." Now, that's an ingenious scheme, and now I think of it, I am almost inclined to think that some of our Salt Lake girls have but no, perish the thought. Excursions to Alaska seem to be growing in popularity, and I am not surprised at it. I have talked with friends after returning return-ing from trips to all parts of the globe, and they always have a kick of some kind. But I have yet to meet' the man or woman who has returned frpm a summer trip to Alaska without being comoletely satisfied. sat-isfied. Quite a number of Salt Lakers will make the trip this season, and I predict a pleasant time for them. If Mr. Burley, of the Union Pacific, would rearrange the time table of the Garfield Beach trains, so as to have a train leave the beach at 8 o'clock in the evening, I believe he would make a ten strike. That seems to be the hour when those who have their families fam-ilies with them, wish to return, and as a gentleman remarked to me last night, "It would be the most popular train of them all."
