NEWSPAPERS is certainly

newspaper, and it is difficult to imagine
any other thing that confers equal ben

it would be impossible to furnish what

US vast cargoes of hats, but we get nc
braid from them. They are what are
known as Panamas, though they figure
to the trade in three grades first, Pan
anna second, Maracaibo, and third,
Curacoas. Panama hats are made from
the leaves of a peculiar palm. Singu-
larly enough, the best Panamas are not
made on the Isthmus, but in Ecuador
They are worth from SIS to 81, 200 a
dozen Maracaibos from $40 to S12O,
and Curacoas from So to $24.
Leghorn hats are all imported. They
are made of fiattened wheat-straw braid,
sewed with an almost invisible seam,
and are brought here in the rough to
be finished. The Modena flats women
use for sun hats are also extensively
imported. There is also a heavy i'm
portation of the coarse straw hats called
Mountain Leghorn, or harvest hats,
which come in bales like the Chinese of
the same class, and cost about as much.
But to return to the work in the
Crosby street mandatory. That con-
sisted simply in the sewing of the i'm
ported braid into common hats. The
girls worked deftly and rapidly. The
braid was simply wound spirally around
a block with enough overlap for braid
to be sewed to braid. The workwOmen
are paid by the piece and are said to
make from S. to SO a week. They
simply put the hats together. In that
form they are pressed and turned over
to the stores, who have them finished
elsewhere. The master of the estab-
lishment said that the era of hand-sew-
ers on hats in this country is drawing
to an end. Straw hats and bonnets are
now sown by machine, which is run
by steam, and on one Of which hun
dred hats a day can be made. There
are half dozen factories in Massachus-
etts, several in Connecticut and others
scattered all over the country, employ
ing from one to two hundred of these
machines, which are an American in
vention. There is another native con-
trivance for pressing hats, which
smooths them at the rate of four min
ute, and in the matter of bleaching hats
we beat the world. There are vast
chemical secrets in this line, it seems,
and every hat company owns its special
ones, which it guards very jealously.
The business, like all others, is central
izing and growing into monopolistic
Ten years ago, out of

water. When cold stir in as much flour
as will give it the consistency of thick
cream, being particular to beat up the
lump stir in as much powdered resin
as will lie on a half dime, and throw
in a dozen cloves to give it a pleasant
odor. Have on the fire a tea-cup of
boiling water in suitable vessel, pour
the -four mixture into it, stirring until
it is of the consistency of porridge.
Pour it into an earthen or china vessel,
let it cool lay a cover on and put in
cool place. When needed for use
take out a portion, and soften with

Denver and Ris Grsude.

The Denver and Rio Grande really
intends to crowd matters. A few
days ago we announced that 1000
pounds of insulators were received
here consigned to the extension of
the Denver and Rio Grande Rail
way, which, if of the ordinary
weight, were equal to 120 miles of
wire. On Wednesday a car load of
wire and cross pieces for telegraph
poles were received in this city, also
consigned to the Extension of the
Denver and Rio Grande. A portion
of this freight was on Wednesday
forwarded to Provo.
1t is understood that a determine
ton has been made by the Denver
and Rio Grande people to fill the gap
between this city and Provo before
the snow flies, and work looking to
the accomplishment of this deter
mination will be vigorously COM
menced in a short time. The Utah
and Pleasant Valley Railroad, now
in the control OF the Denver and Rio
Grande, extends from the Pleasant
Valley coal fields to Provo, and with
the completion of the narrow gauge
from Provo to this city, would give
US direct communication with the
coal fields of Utah County, and thus
prove benefit to the city.

Robson and Crane,

These celebrated comedians
made their first appearance in this
city last evening, to a large and in
telligent audience, the piece pre-
scented being "0ur Bachelors" The
comedy itself gives scope for the
production of great deal of mirth,
but as it is presented by Robson and
Crane, it is made one of the most in
tensely amusing things ever wit
messed here. 1t is needless to state
that Robson and Crane are cOnsum-
mate artists, for such a celebrity as
both of these gentlemen possess
could only be the reward of great
ability and long study and ex-
perience. Each is as unlike the other
as he could well be, and each seems
so funny and eccentric, that it is
difficult to form a judgment as to
which is the oldest. The support is
generally good and the piece goes
off in rafting, rollicking manner.
The audience was kept in constant
state of laughter from the COM
mencement to the close, and ap-
peared to be more than satisfied.
The applause was most generous
and well-timed, and was Indicative
of the appreciation of those present.
Prof. Thomas had the members of
his orchestra, sing the chorus to
some airs they played, which they
did well and which was well re-
ceived. The idea is pleasing and
novel.
"0ur Bachelors" will be repeated
tonight when another good house
is expected. Tomorrow afternoon
"Sharps and Flats" will be given for
the matinee and will also constitute
the evenings attraction. 1t will
draw packed house.

tial, and will be visible throughout
China and Siberia and also through
out Canada, while in Europe it will

says that an eclipse of the sun fall

"causeth dissensiOn amongst priests

account of Eliza, but of an eclipse. |
This same eclipse will also raise
