They are developing some cases of growing interest, encouraging nepotism in the employment of teachers and assistants, depending too much upon the innocence of well-feboys and girls, and fighting in the faculty moie than is good for some of the colleges. The demoralizing effects of troublesome splits in educational institutions are wide spread as a rule. Publicity in such matters is naturally dreaded but the blame attaches before the matter is made public. Our Agricultural College has carefully suppressed its troubles and the Provo Academy has tried to keep quiet several spicy affairs of its own. But the facts are bubbling over and the public is curious to know, what is and has been going on. The University furnished a sensation the other morning in the resignation of President Talmage, who claims to hundred a year be dissatisfied with a twenty-fivsalary. Knowing ones declare that there is something back of the resignation besides the question of salary. The Herald published a long story of a faculty fight which resulted in Talmage demanding the immediate resignation or dismissal of five members of the faculty. The truth of the :ory was afterwards denied but the resignation the president followed almost immediately, rofessor Kingsbury was promptly chosen to 11 the vacancy and people are still wondering what is all about It has been reported that President 'anner of the Agricultural College, intended hand in his resignation also, because of the eatment he received at the hands of the late legislature, but there is little likelihood of his as Tanner is not a$ oiug so.

IHE SALT LAKE Opera Company closed its successful conference engagement at the Salt Lake Theater Thursday evening. Both and Patience operas, The Mascot, drew good with houses. Patience, esthetic men and its maidens and its ridicule of the craze which originated with Oscar Wilde and is now but a memory, was the more successful performance. The cast was strengthened by the addition of Mr. Rob Easton, the Logan tenor. The placing of the characters was fortunate and the costuming of the characters and chorus good. Miss Savage has a role that is suited to her style ' and taste. She sings it simply and sweetly, and although her voice has more of the qualities suited to the drawing room than the stage, she has a pleasant manner and makes up in effort what she lacks in strength. She is certainly improving in her acting, delivery and expression and she can count Patience as quite a triumph. Mr. Spencer did good work as Bunthorne both in singing and acting and injected some wit and fun into the part. Mr. Goddard had an opportunity to show off his fine voice to advantage in the role of the Colonel, and his acting, too, was good. He has a dramatic quality in his voice that is pleasant to hear and he sings with fervor and expression. The chorus from El Capitan, nliiili if9 intarnnlated as the finale to. the last act, with Mr. Goddard as soloist, was a gem. Miss Levys Lady Angela was well sung and and singing of Lady Jane Miss Dwyers make-u- p was good. Mr. Easton, as the Duke, made a fine appearance and his song from the Black Mantles was heartily encored. Mr. Shearman played Grosvenor very acceptably, his tender years and guileless, gentle nature comports and harmonizes with the part. While his figure is not quite so good as his singing his acting is rather better than his voice. Taken in all, the must be very gratifying success of Patience to the company and should spur them on to more pretentious efforts. Mr. Weihes work should be especially commended. He has labored for the success of the operas and his work should be appreciated. We hope to hear of the company starting work on another opera in the near future. inde-fatigab- ly begins a two nights engagement at the Salt Lake And Her wink.
