Some Weddings and other Events o.
Interest 10 Society People.
Society matters remain quiet. The week
has been a repetition of the past month,
with slight improvement over the previ-
Gus one if anything. Many people are still,
at the lakes, and at the resorts in this and
other states. There Will not be much doing
until the cool weather has come. The
weeks attractions were larger than usual,
the fair, opera house and rink all being in
full blast. Besides these was the Crusad-
eTs' picnic on Monday and the lacrosse game
on Wednesday furnished additional attTac-
tons. All of these gave our people places
TO go and different opportunities to amuSe
themselves. In this direction the previous
week was eXcelled. The recent fall in
temperature will ripen parties, balls and So
cables and enliven matters. The girls are
beginning to talk about sealskin sacqueS
Those who have none have already given
their orders to makers. Those that have
not done so will soon do this if there is not
rise in the mercury soon. The boys are
also thinking about heavy garments. If
the cool weather lasts society matters will
soon begin to boom.

ing week, opening with Hazel Kirke" and
Charles Gardner on Monday, Sept. z.
Manager Durant has secured some excellent
attractions for the season.
The Washington County fair on Wednes-
day, Thursday, Friday and Saturday was
not very well attended, owing to the
weather. The program was better than
usual, prepared at heavy expense by Mr..
Staples, and deserved better attendance.
Had the weather been favorable the fair
would have been well attended. In order
to evade the September rains it was held
little earlier this year than usual but the
management was not benefited by so doing.
For several years the society has lost
money-every season on account of the
weather.
The roller rink, with new floor, kates
paint, paper and band stand, opened on
Thursday night with excellent music by the
Saltwater band. The attendance was gOOd
considering the inclement weather, and our
skaters glided round on the dizzy wheels like
professionals. Many had not been on skates
since last winter and spring, but this ap-
peared to make no difference. That Still

taste of the MinneapOlitans with that of the
st. Paulites, they naturally expect mora

THE CITY MORTALITY.

1t is a singular thing, but one which
our contemporaries refuse to recognize,
that howl as much as they may about
the filth of the city, and yell as they
will that epidemic diseases are stalking
through town, the death rate continues
low, and will not increase in answer to
the appeals of the never happy news
paper man who has a grudge against
Salt Lake. Yesterday we called atten-
ton to the fact that while all during the
month an effort has been made to Gre
ate the impression that diphtheria was
,rioting in town, fast depopulating the
place, only ten deaths from the disease
occurred in August. The deaths from
that. awful disease are just ten too
many. and we. will join with any man
or party in doing anything in reason
that will lessen the mortality from the
contagion; but ten deaths from diph-
liberia in one month arenot large num-
Der for a city of thirty thousand
people, when there is diphtheria in
the town; and the number IS altogether
out of proportion to the noise that has
been made about the contagion. its
causes and the efforts to control it. If
some of our contemporaries had been
believed, people would have expected
the Sections report to show more
deaths from diphtheria than occurred |
from all causes combined. II happens
that this year the disease is of pecu-
liarly malignant type, the percentage
of deaths among those attacked being
greater than usual; but the disease is no
more prevalent than ordinarily at this
season Of the year, and if its origin be
filth, the cause which leads to diph-
liberia is not more abundant now than
it has been her tofore, and win neces-
sarily be hereafter.
In this connection it may be asked, if
diphtheria is 50 yicic;lsly raVaging the
community, why the intermcnts do not
prove the fact By showing the alarming
mc-ease2 Last month the total deaths
in the city we're 40. For the cores :

things, and yet the mortality reports
persist in showing that there is no
