' , It is believed that an immense :: (, European hotel will be erected on the J ' '' southwest corner of First South and ; v, - j ens. Clark and company. The general and local offices of the Salt Lake route will be in the new Herald building on I Main street . : . The San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt 1 I Lake railroad will place an order be- : fore the end of the month for 400 j freight cars, 150 passenger coaches and a number of locomotives. l Two thousand dollars was added to I the V. M. C. A. building fund yester- !day, the donor being Senator Thomas Kearns. The heaviest contributors to i i the fund have been Mrs. Mary Judge, I ' M. H. Walker, David Keith and Sena- ; tor Kearns. I - The largest audience of the season it ' attended the tabernacle organ recital '"' Tuesday afternoon, and the hundreds ' who gathered had the pleasure of lis- ; tening to Dr. Browne, the noted Eng- i - - lish organist and composer. Dr. i-f Browne played a number of selec- fl tions in a masterly manner, and how .- - f j wen me great auaience appreciated i( his efforts was shown by the rapt at- j tention paid and the hearty applause I f with which each selection was greet- l ' ed. Miss Ramsey and Mr. Kent also i sang a duet, one of Dr. Browne's com- I positions, and did- it in splendid style. I ' Dun's Review has the following to I say of business conditions in Salt f Lake: "Trade in general improves 'i somewhat as a result of the settled j weather and the advancing season. I A fair sorting business is had in dry I goods, clothing, shoes and notions, and I I some fall orders are booked, and the . I trade is steady in groceries, hardware, I drugs and furniture. Retail business V j is fair and collections improve, but are still backward. Money is in fair t f demand, wtih rates firm, and local I commercial stocks and securities com- ! paratively inactive. I Secretary Cox of the Y. M. C. A , left for Chautauqua Tuesday after- f noon with the happy feeling of a great uneasiness removed. By Monday even-' even-' ing the full ?50,000 had been subscrib- , ed to the building fund, which secures the $25,0i'i0 from George Foster Pea-' Pea-' I body of New York. Not only this, but Elmer B. Jones of the Utah Home Telephone has extended the option on the lot on First South until Aug. Cth, at which time the option will be taken i' up. For a time following the generous I propositon of Mr. Peabody, it looked I ; as if the task of getting subscriptions I ' to the amount of $50,000 in this city (was simply impossible, but Matthew H. "Walker started the good work with the initial figure of ?5,000. Then fol- f lowed nine $1,000 subscriptions, and j . two ?2,000 subscriptions, yet on June I 1st the fund was not nearly raised, j" But Mrs. Mary Judge came in with I r 110,000, and started the enthusiasm f I anew. Mr. Keith's $5,000, Senator t I Kearns' ?2,000 and many subscrip- tions, swelled the fund until it was f only $1,000 short yesterday. Then Mrs. i D. C. McLaughlin and W. Y. Rice I i made up the balance with $500 each, j . 1 and the joy of the board of directors ;: 1 was unbounded. I j An effort is being made to revive I the Ancient Order of Hibernians in !s Salt Lake. Mr. Sheehan, the travel- I . j ing representative of the Order, spent; .! several days in this city during the .- ' past week examining the local situation. situa-tion. He reports the order as fiour- '; ishing in most western cities under I his jurisdiction, whicli extends from ! j St, Louis to the coast Y ' f |
