Show TRUTHS. The officials and clerks of the Utah Ligh & Railway company who arc located on the first floor of the company's com-pany's building, arc s'udying up special spec-ial methods of ventilation. When the gentlemen from the sunny shores of the Mcdittcrancan sea, who are condescending con-descending to exchange a 'fit1! i amount of physical exertion pir .: maximum amount of pay, flock into the offices from the cold weather outside, out-side, and hang themselves up over the steaming heater for half an hour, the atmospheric environment is highly suggestive of Naples or Civita Viccia on a hot, muggy day. The Light & Railway people whose lungs have to statu! the stilling, strenuous strain, object to the im-rortation im-rortation there of that particular variety of tropical climate, and will petition the management to transfer the paymaster to the roof, or the ccl-larf ccl-larf preferably to the roof, where the trend of the breezes arc unimpeded: or else install a large fan in the first floor offices, with an aromatic atomizer ato-mizer attachment. The newspapers seem determined to keep Mrs. Bradley in the limelight. lime-light. Every day specials come from Washington telling what she is doing and what she is going to do. We should have thought the public had already had enough of Mrs. Bradley. The Cambrian society of Utah lias fully determined to hold ano'her Eisteddfod in Salt Lake City during the coming autumn. This is great news for the musicians of the west and the public in general. The society so-ciety is no green hand at affairs of this character, as it has already had two successes of the kind. For great musical gatherings there is no other nationality, not even excepting the Germans, who can equal the Welsh. It is born in them and is one of their national traits of character. It is these events which draw the attention atten-tion of the country to Utah in a musical musi-cal sense. The .last two eisteddfods introduced many singers to the world, who have, in the years which have passed since then, proved their ability abili-ty in larger musical fields, some .ot whom have even won. reputations which ar'c national in their character. There arc many young singers and instrivincntallsts coming up among us, and it may be that the "new cycle will shame the old." V There is something a little out of joint in the manner in which the finances of the country are being runt' at the present time. It may be all,'; righ that those cashiers' checks are passing current at the present time,! but there is a queer look about thcl whole thing that requires an cxplana-J tioii. Every one knows that it is atl .lenst a monthly occurrence that some; fellow who is out of funds gets him-! self into trouble by cashing checks, when he has no money in the bank.) Now, to the man on the outside, it' looks that if the explanation given) if out by the banks explains anything1 at all, that the reason they pay ont their cashiers' checks is because they have not the ready money with which to pay. The comparison between the two cases however ends here. In the first case, immediate requisition is made on the police force and the sheriff's office, and the fellow lands behind the bails. In tlic latter case, the victim takes the paper, and the police hear nothing about the transaction. trans-action. Funny, isn't it? Chief Pitt, has recently ma'de public, pub-lic, that the city ordinance against expectorating on the sidewalks and in public halls and conveyances, is to be enforced with the utmost vigor. There is nothing to criticise in this action of the chief, as the habit is an cxcrablc one, and no man with decency will fall into it. It does seem a little strange though, that the enforcement of the nearly obsolete ordinance, should come so shotitly after the announcement that the long skirt will be the leading feature in fashionable attire for the ladies. And yet no one would accuse the chief of being a lady's man. It is safe to say that the dry goods man has had no hand in the matter. |
