THERE is practice prevalent in Og-
den, and INDUCED in to q frightful ex-
tent, that is extremely annoying to
theatre-goers and those who attend re-
igious services, and that is, the habit
that some people have of taking babies
along with them to all places OF amuse-
ment and worship. We do not
wish to appear severe towards
mothers who wishing TO obtain
little relaxation from their daily toll ,ac-
company their husbands to an opera or
play, but they should take into con
sideratiOn the yexation that a squal1ng
cherub causes an audience. An instance
of the discomfort occasioned by this
pernicious custom was furnished the
other day when the baritone Carleton
positively refused 10 continue his love
song unless a crying child III the rear
part of the building was removed. Inc
Young mother was undoubtedly humill-
ated BY the attention OF all the hearers
being suddenly attracted towards her.
but it was unavoidable. Another IL
lustratiOn OF this uncomfortable fashion
was shown yesterday III the TabeTnacle
during the interesting narrative OF FL
der William II. Jones. At intervals
during the discourse four or I'VE o.
"Utah's best CROP would send forth the
most agoniZing shTiekS, completely
smothering the sound of the spea keriS
voice, and causing him the modification
of almost beng compelled to discontinue
until they were removed from the house.
This Is q nuisance which should be
abated, and one which IN larger cities
throughout the east Is entirely IN
known.
A vERDANr cowboy, while en- route
| from Salt Lake, Saturday evening, be-
came acquainted with fellow by the
name of VIM. Bean, who represented to
the rustic cattle puneher that he WAS 3
stock man. In the course of their con-
versation the cowboy informed Bean
that he was thoroughly acquainted with
| the trail from Salt Lake to Cheyenne,
and Bean Immediately pretended to en-
gage him at salary OF 800 per month
| 10 drive herd OF cattle TO Cheyenne II
the near future. The cowboy was so
enthusiastic over this piece Of good luck
| that upon his arrival in Ogden he drank
copiously of Intoxicating liquors, and III
a short time was giOriously drunk
/ While in this maudlin condition
! Bean persuaded him to let him
have $50 on check drawn
on Walker Brothers Bank in Salt
Lake and signed by Philips IL Sons.
| Shortly after this the cowboy narrated
the incident TO bartender, who was
personally acquainted with the unsayOry
reputation of Bean, and suspected that
this green tenderfoot had been swindle6-
Acting upon the bartender's instruc-
tons the officers arrested Bean and in
carcerated him in the city Jail. On ms
person was found several bogus checks
for various sums, ranging from SO TO
$780, This same man was arrested last
/ spring, and served sentence OF three
months in the county Jail for working 9
similar confidence game on an unsuS-
pecting enigrant.
