Show An Associated Press dispatch from Lima, Feru, states that the first locomotive has arrived at Timin, over the new railroad from Oraya to Cerro-pnsco. Cerro-pnsco. This is the road owned by A. W. McCune of Salt Lake. Lieutenant (General Nelson A. Miles, during his brief stay in Chicago, said he was surprised it our nation reaching out for so much foreign irade and letting other nations take markets in idjoining republics. I The lamented death of the Sovereign Pontiff has caused the postponement of Archbishop Far-" . ley's investiture with the pallium, and the subsequent subse-quent consecration of the Rt. Rev. Charles, II. Colton, Buffaloes new bishop, until after the cori-. cori-. slave elects another pope. At the suggestion of Mr. Cohen, a Jew and former lord mayor of Liverpool, a movement has LH-cii started for the erection of a statue in that fity to Consignor Nugent, Jhe venerable priest who has done so much for the poor and friendless friend-less and outcast of the great English port. The American Israelite says that Hebrew refers fo the language, Israelite to the nation, and'Jew to the' religion of the chosen people; and that, since Hebrew is no longer their spoken language, and they are no longer a nation, the proper name for them, since they do retain their religion, is Jew. Payne Whitney and two other millionaries, under the cloak of hunting .elephants, are prepar-, iiig to go 'to Abyssinia in quest of King Solomon's Solo-mon's mines. Any person with more knowledge and less money than Whitney may find Solomon's-mines Solomon's-mines among the. pages of the books of Kings and Proverbs, costing two bits at any second-hand bookstore. .lames O'Sullivan of Philadelphia, national vice president of the A. 0. II., is authority for the statement ihat the national board of the A. O. IT. will have a meeting in August next, probably at. Niagara Falls. At "that meting will be definitely decided the question of affiliation with' the A. 0.-II. 0.-II. in Ireland, which has been under 'advisement for nearly a year by members of the national directory di-rectory of the order in America. ! Some millionaires are benevolent; others mav, become useful. Thus, after Payne Whitney gives up his search for King Solomon's mines in Abys-t-inia as undoubtedly he will he may recoup the money spent there by sending out a party of Argonauts Argo-nauts to discover the lost Peg Leg mine in Death Valley. In that event the money lavished on King Menclik will be divided among old prospectors, with ihc chances in favor of the Peg Leg as against the Abyssinian proposition. i It's the first hundred dollars saved that gives I the acquiring person the nerve to accumulate i a thousand. Then he wants ten thousand; then a I hundred thousand. Just about this time he hp J comes meau and stingy, harassed by the thought I that he will die poor unless possessed of a million. I Owning a million, he is ready to' skin a flea for J the hide and tallow. He wants another million, another and another. But all his millions will not pay his fine and costs when the devil gets hold .of. bin and refuses to honor any writ of-habeas cor- I pus. r This. little bit. of moralizing is set down after ;;'.,'K reading that J. Picrpont Morgan gave a. boy 'who held .Jus horse a. five dollar gold piece in mis- uii ior a quarter, then hunted up the bov and saved $4.7o. Better be a lavish beggar than a -cheap Morgan millionaire. . " , i ,v ., . Says the Ueseret News: "The- Inter-Mountain Catholic is . restored to its original form, , to tho great; delight of its readers and patrons. Its reduction reduc-tion in size and style was a step rearward, but the contrast now afforded, shows it up in a very, favorable favor-able manner. We. congratulate its publishers and the public on the pleasing restoration. It is an able" paper and tills, a place peculiarly its own. Success!" The lady subscriber in Nevada who complains that she is too fat, and asks us to prescribe something some-thing or other, is admonished to keep an eye on the Woman's Department of this paper, profuse of hintsjfrom one of her own sex. Once in a while a man is found who knows a. thing or two about fa t4 women and lean women, lie advises tho Nc-vadu Nc-vadu lady to walk the ties of the Clark road from Nevada to. Salt Lake, and then work a month in one of our cheap restaurants. If the fatigue of the walk and the smell of, the cooking do not re- uce avoirdupois, 'no medicine will. G round' was broken the other day at the site j of the St. Louis world's exposition for an "Irish village." An "Irish village" was one 'of tho Midway Mid-way attractions at Chicago. After, spending two bits to ascend "Blarney castle," you were charged a" dollar at the top for a little vial of "rale potheen," the kind that "warms up" the cockles of the heart." In reality it was Chapi'n tfc Gore whisky, sold in Chicago over. the bar for 13 cents. Missouri whisky may pass at the St." Louis fair for the "rale potheen" until it encounters a visitor visi-tor from Montana. |
