A LOOK AT THE CREoLEs.
A Glass of Beautiful Women Who Are
Famous the World Over.

New Orleans Letter in Baltimore American.
Before the Creole women all the other attrac-
tons Of the Crescent City fade away. No better
time than last night, and few better places than
the Washington Artillery Hall, could have been
chosen to view them at an advantage. These
are the woman who have caused duels, inspired
poetry, elevated manners, made men happy or
miserable, and fixed for themselves q place in
history. Many of their best and all Of their
most fashionable representatives were there.
They waited in their carriages on side streets
until the beautiful pageant of Menus had passed,
and then they proceeded to the hall, the nominal
occasion being the reception of Rex, where peo-
pie from every State in the Union, and from
nearly every country under the sun had come
to see them. They were all chaperoned, of
course; for French and Spanish ideas on the sub
ject are firmly fixed here. Over a thousand peo-
pie stood in the street to look at the ladies as
they arrived and entered the hall. They began
to arrive about 9 o'clock, and an hour later there
was a tremendous jam of people at the door, so
that the ticket takers were compelled for a time
to refuse admittance to some OF the late arrivals.
The capacity of the hall for dancing is about g.
900, but the number of people in the place at one
time was nearly 5000, making it impossible to
form sets. But few of the guests had come to
dance. The native people came chiefly to be
presented to Rex, and the strangers came for the
purpose already mentioned. Some of the ladies
turned away from the place without entering at
all, rather than have the discomfort of being in
the great crowd. American girls, natives of New
Orleans, were there of course, and they had
pre-eminently the charm that belongs to South,
ern women; but their beauty was the beauty of
the individual, and not like that of the Creoles
the beauty of a class. 1t is because of their
attractions as a class that the feminine Creoies
are famous. Any one of the hundred in the
great assembly might have been selected as a
type; and, briefly, their characteristics are dark
brown or black hair, brown eyes, intensely brill
liant; a clear, soft, bright compassionate least in
young people, and a form which Thorwaldsen
would have chosen of all others for his Venus.
But this is not all. They have voices that would
make a flute sound harsh, with a slight accent
something more than agreeable to persons living
farther North. And in conduct, although as
gentle as the breeze from the Gulf, they have la
tent spirit which, when occasion requires, trans
forms them into heroines. They appeared like
this to the stranger at the reception last night,
but they arc seen at their best in their homes,
for home means something to them like strong
family tins

At Connersville Joseph A. Thompson, of Lib
erty, is on trial, charged with sending obscene
matter through the mails. A respectable six
teen-year-old girl received a beastly letter, pur-
porting to come from a woman. and Thompson,
in the case in question, is charged with it's
authorship. Thompson was at the time a skat-
ing-rink master.
About one year ago William Webster, a
wealthy farmer of Wabash county, died, leav-
ing q will, bequeathing his estate to his four
children during their lifetime, after which it was
to be divided among his relatives. The children
considered this rank injustice, and began suit to
set aside the will, alleging the mind of the testa-
tor was unsound. Judge Walker annulled the
instrument, and the property will now be dis
tributed among Mr.. Webster's children. The es-
tate is worth about $40, 900.

Local Observations.
INDIANAPOLIS, March 9.
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-08-22

The Attorney-Gene answered that they
were appointive under the Organic Act;
hence the Commission in announcing
various offices to be filled this election,
did not announce that of Territorial
Superintendent. The Commission were
bound to act in accordance with
the decision of the Attorney General,
and they made the only reply to Mr..
Whitney's request that they could have
have made; and when they suggested
that if he wished TO take any action IN
the premises that the courts were the
proper place for him to apply, they sug-
gested the only place to which Mr..
Whitney could go to obtain redress for
his wrong, if any he had suffered. 1t is
the opinion of the majority of the Bar,
we believe, that the offices which have
been in controversy for some time between
the Governor and the Legislature are
appointive by the Governor, and such
will probably be the holding of the courts
if the question shall come before them.
An early decision of this question by the
courts would be source of relief to the
community. Let the Governor make his
appointments, and let the apppointees
make their demand for the offices, and ii
not complied with, let them go to the
courts and have the question settled.

A REQUEST REFUSED.

The request OF Mr.. O. F. Whitney to
the Utah Commission to canvass the
votes that were cast for him for the office
OF Territorial Superintendent OF Schools
was refused. Mr.. Whitney was the only
person voted for for the Office and had
the votes been counted no doubt
he would have been elected. But
there is another question. For some
time past there has been question
whether the Office OF Territorial Superin-
tendent of Schools was elective or appoin-
tive. Heretofore the practice has been to
elect the Superintendent, but year or so
ago the Governor made an appointment
to the Office, which was never confirmed
by the Legislature, and the elected in
eumbent held over, he refusing to sur
render his office to the Governors
sppointee. This summer some
time the Commission addressed
a letter to the Acknowledgement asking
his opinion concerning the Office of Su--
perintendent and other positions, and
whether they were elective or appointive

FRANCE AND THE PANAMA CANAL.
The ssCOlG Day. That Threatens
England When the Waters of the
Pacific Join Those OF the
Atlantic.

Do not despise the trouble borrower. Be
patient with his apprehensions and mindful
of his fears. You may be entertaining an
angel unawares. If your wife insists that
you go once more before retiring to see if
the front door is locked, humor her. You
may find friend on the sidewalk with an
invitation to take walk around the corner,
be in process of combustion. But for your
trouble-borrowing wife you would be denied
the pleasure either of accepting the invita-
ton or of witnessing the cheerful fire.
A case in point is that of DR.. Charles
Pinckney, of Georgia, who is described as
ga man of fine learning and observation"
Notwithstanding his profession and his
learning he is a trouble borrower, and seems
to dream darkly, but let us not turn him
away. 1t is not in green apple collie, mumps,
failure of the watermelon crop or the coming
tax day that the good doctor perceives dam
ger. 1t is to far-off Panama that he turns
his woeful eye. His theory is that the rotary
motion of the earth piles the waters of the
Pacific so high against the shore of the 18th
mus that the western sea is twenty-eight
feet higher than its neighbor, and that when
the canal is cut there will be frightful rush
of Pacific water into the urofending Atlantic.
IQ1S appreQ6nS1V6 meQlCa1 man says Un6 "a
cifc doesn't seek the lower level of the At
lantic around Cape Horn because that point
of meeting is so far from the equatorial line
that the centrifugal force is lost, and the
levels of the two oceans are there the same.
He also declares that the water of the Pa
clic is much colder than that of the Allan
tic, and that when the rush of waters comes
the Atlantic will get a cold bath that is GER
tain to destroy the Gulf Stream and the cot
ton industry of the South.
In this remarkable revelation we find ex-
planation of the astonishing zeal displayed
by the French in cutting this great canal. 1t
is not the canal the willy Gauls are after, for
well do they know that the first rush of
water from the Pacific will wipe out canal,
shares, railway, everything. But the Gulf
stream-there's the secret. From this
strange current Britain draws warmth.
moisture and fertility. But for the Gulf
stream merry England would be black and
barren Labrador.
Waterloo is not forgotten, nor is British
supremacy overlooked. The patriotism of
the French has been equal to the occasion.
Partisan equanimity at the onward march
of England i'll Egypt, in Asia and in America
is explained at last. Sly old Lesseps' calm
submission to British seizure of the Suez
is accounted for. We can now sec why
French millions have been 80 eagerly poured
into the big hole at Panama.
Some of these fine days the plug is to be
knocked out, there will be a rush of waters,
and then goodbye England. France will
become the master of Europe Chicago
