Rendering Prompt Obedience.

A good story comes from an Anglo
Indian legion. A sub-lieutenant took
sick leave, and spent his leisure in the
steps preliminary to getting married.
The colonel heard Of the indiscretion,
and peremptorily telegraphed, "JoiD
at once" With the fatal order in
his hands, the youth proceeded to say
farewell to his betrOthed. But-the
lady was more intelligent in military
matters. 81 am glad that the colonel
approves the match" she said "but
why is he in such a hurry~ The
sub-lieutenant was still too literal for
the fair one, who had further to ex-
plain that ''join at once" meant "mar-
ry Immediately" The result was that
in forty-eight hours the colonel's reply
per telegraph: Your orders are

PRODUCTION OF "IOLANTHE."
Home Talent To Appear i'm Gilbcr
& SulIivan's Brightest Comic
Opera.

This work of Gilbert & Sullivan's is
one of the best of all their operas. The
selection is happy one, and in being pre-
scented here shortly it will undoubtedly
please the Salt Lake public better than
any previous home production has done.
Mr.. Krouse has selected the cast of
Patience" and it is certain that accord
ing to his judgment the cast of ''Iolantbe"
will be the best possible, and the produc-
ton elegant, as Mr.. Krouse received di-
rect ideas of this opera from Sir Arthur
Sullivan while lately here, who pronounces
it one of his favorite works. The report
er was informed that the necessary prae-
tice in order to properly produce the
opera had commenced, but the exact
time set for its production on the stage is
not decided yet. The cast embraces
twelve principals and magnificent chorus
of forty voices, specially selected for the
grand rendition. The orchestra will con-
sist OF eighteen selected performers, and a
brass band in the finale of the first act.
Should ''Iolanthe" prove success,
Prof. Krouse will produce new opera for
which he has received the special right
for this city. This late opera is said to be
by one of the famous bouffe writers OF
the French school. 1t will be remem-
bered that ''Iolanthe" has been presented
to the Salt Lake public but once, and
then not as it should have been, as there
were many omissions in its production,
which will not occur in the present
rendition

A Wild Runaway,

Late yesterday afternoon, near the
Eagle Gate, a runaway occurred which
nearly proved catastrophe, and resulted
in the driver being somewhat bruised and
the wagon almost demolished. 1t seems
that Victor Wells had taken load OF
lumber to Mr.. Teasdel's residence and
was returning by the way of First street.
In coming down the hill between Row.
land Hall and the Eagle Gate, the sec
tional box which he had on the wagon
slipped forward on the horses heels.
The horse got scared, became unmanage-
able, ran down to the foot of the hill.
turned the corner and started for the
Eagle Gate. At the Eagle Gate the
wagon collided with the stonework, and
Mr.. Wells managed to jump out. The
collision gave the horse quite turn and
he headed straight for the Gardo House
corner. Two little girls had Just started
across the street from the corner, going
towards the Eagle Gate, and by the
merest chance the wagon caught on q
telephone pole and the horse in trying to
get loose from it was thrown around so as
to head down the street; otherwise the
children would have been run over. The
horse in struggling to get away from the
telephone pole broke the reach pole of
the wagon and started down the street
with the front wheels At the Wells cor
ner he ran into covered wagon, and his
mad career was stopped by some coun-
trymen

CONCENTRATING MACHINES.
a Competitive Test to be Made at
butte, Montana.

The Denver Republican, in recent
issue, contains quite an article on concen-
trating machinery. 1t refers to the COM
petitive tests that have lately been made
between machines, and concludes:
'Miners all over the Rocky Mountain
mining region will be interested to know
that within six weeks, or as soon as the
machines can be placed in position, a
grand public contest will occur at the
Anaconda mill, near Butte City, Mon
tana, between four Frue yanners, four
Embrey machines and four Triumph
concentrators The run will continue for
thirty days, and to the victorious ma
chine will be awarded contract for the
placement of forty such machines in the
Anaconda mill. Such prolonged public
tests as this will settle the question of
supremacy between these contestants
beyond any question, and the result will
be anxiously awaited by thousands of
mine owners in all mining States and
Territories.
1t is also said "From j. Cory, Colorado
agent of the Triumph Concentration, we
have the statement that in competitive
test just completed at the Drum Lum-
mond 50-stamp mill, near Helena, Mon
tana, between one Triumph and one Frue
Vanner, lasting one week, the gain of the
Triumph over the Frue in saving was AZ
per cent. Admitting these statements to
be exactly as stated, it shows that the
Triumph is making decided strides for
first place among the best concentrators
now in general use. A number of these
machines are now in usein this Territory,
and are said to give great satisfaction

PROPS. RADCLIFFE AND YOUNG.
A Pleasant Social Reception Last
Evening at the Residence Oh
Mr.. Boyle.

For an informal gathering of a purely
social sort, nothing of the season has
eclipsed the happy affair given last
evening at the residence OF MIR.
and Mrs. Royle, on East First South
street, this city The event was in
honor of Prof. and Mrs. Radcliffe,
and Professor B. B. and Madame Young,
at the hands of some one hundred and
thirty admiring friends, who chose to
show their high appreciation OF the ac-
complished musicians and thanktulness
in turn for their generous donations to
the music-loving society, by entertaining
them, as was done in a real social man
ner.
The spacious lawns were brilliantly
lighted with Chinese lanterns OF varied
shapes and colors, festooned in very ar
tistic style. Tete-a-tetes, hammocks and
easy chairs were clustered in groups
about the handsome grounds, while with
in the house the same cheerfulness added
to the enjoyment of the older members
present. Suspended over the doors OF
the open parlors were the Princeton Col
lege colors, in honor OF Mr.. E.
M. Royle, E. H. Rudd, E. B.
Critchlow, and Oliver Roberts, late
of that institution, and of course held in
high esteem by Mrs. Royle. Daynes &
CoaIter's quadrille band furnished excel
lent music to the indulgence of all pres
ent in the Terpsichorian art, which was
not lost sight of. Music was one OF the
principal treats of the evening, and it is
seldom so large number of Salt Lakes
real musicians are gathered socially to-
gether.
Prof and Madame Young rendered
some fine selections as did Prof. and Mrs.
Radcliffe These were kindly followed
by many others, scarcely less noteworthy,
who seemed to sing with the spirit of the
occasion. Mrs. Leviberg, Mrs. Turner,
Mrs. Seigel and Misses Parsons and Royle
gave several beautiful solos, adding to
the enjoyment of the company.
The refreshments were simply par-ex-
cellence, and upon leaving the scene of the
evening Mr.. and Mrs. Boyle were recepi-
ents OF many compliments for the COM
plete preparation afforded by them for
| the elegant time enjoyed.

man styling himself ssDr. Foot, Jr.',
without making due inquiry.

This man came to Salt Lake City representing
himself as the son of DIR. E. B. FoOTE OF New
York, the well known specialist, as abundantly
proved by afiidavits. As rumOrS came into Salt
Lake City from Dakota and Montana from an
expose made there, he changed his base and
represented himself as the son of more noted
specialist in New York City than DR.. E. B.

TROw, of the well known Trow's Directory, in
business), Ex-Governor FRANK FULLER, of Utah.
and the Hon. ABRAM WAKEMAN, for many years
Postmaster in New York City, also Surveyor of
the Port, gave their affidavits that there are no
other doctors in New York by the name of FooT
or FooTE, excepting DR.. E. B. FOOTE, the author
of Medical Common Sense" etc., and his two
sons, DIR. Z. B. FooTE, Jr, and DR.. HUBERT T.
FooTE. The genuine DR.. FooTE, Jr., will here
after always employ the initials E. B., in desig-
mating his name, Heretofore he has been
known not only at home but wherever his pub
locations have been circulated, by the name of
DR.. FooTE Jr. Greater care will be taken here
after, in view of the fact that an unpriucipled
person has assumed to profit by HIS and his
fathers reputation.

formation in respect to this matter, will receive
1t by addressing Box 414, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Persons having information of advantage to
plaintiffs will kindly communicate the same to

As 1t Should Be.

We have for long time advocated in
this journal that the governors and GER
tain other chief officials of the large Ter
ritories such as Montana, New Mexico,
Washington, Arizona and even Utah,
should be elected by the people of those
Territories, and that, SO long as Congress
fails to make law to that effect, the
Federal Executive should, with possibly
the exception OF the Judges, confne his
appointments to longtime residents of
the Territories-or to men clearly identi
fed with the industrial and general inter-
ests of the Territory, to Office in which
they may be appointed. Itgreatly pleases
us, therefore, to see Mr.. Samuel T. Haus-
er made Governor of the important
Territory of Montana; citizen who
is so largely connected with all the in
terests that are rapidly building
up Montana to the proportions of a State
hood, deeply and widely founded Mr..
1852. He erected the first smelling
works in that Territory; also the first
metallurgical mill put up within its
limits Gas early as 1857 was for a COM
pany which he founded. The large
wealth he has acquired is not the fruit
of some mere special stroke of good for
tune but OF an administrative ability and
intelligence which promise an admins
tration of his Office for the material bene-
fit of the people of Montana.
We shall trust to see the same care and
fitness OF selection illustrated in the CUB
ernatorial appointments to the other
Territories.-Nea0 York Mining Journal,
