"MIKApo. AND THE CRITICS.
False FInttery ON the One Hand
and venomous Criticism on the
Other-Let the Public Decide.

Without question of doubt Salt Lake
City possesses musical talent OF as high
an order, both amateur and professional,
as any city of its rank in the United States,
and the public time and again have been
convinced of this fact by the numerous
and successful efforts which have been
presented for their satisfaction, apprecia-
ton and criticism. Failures by home
talent have been exceptional, either dra-
matte or lyric, and in many instances local
artists and local organizations have not
only compared favorably with, but far sur
passed, the alleged travelling galaxies
which have deluded the public by slick
agents, glittering four-sheet posters, and
the various tricks known only to keen
and generally INSCRIPTIONS managers.
Such being the case, the Salt Lake anna
teurs have held-and deservedly, too-a
high place in the estimation of the people
here, of which ample evidence has been
repeatedly given.
"Patience" placed the home organiza-
| ton on very high notch, and its artistic
success was fully admitted by all-critics
! (?) not excepted. Since that production,
however, some little jealousy and dissen-
ton have appeared upon the surface, and
all is not serene. Two local light opera
organizations have been the result, and
the production OF ''The Mikado" by the
Careless Company seems to have
awakened tumultuous tempest in
the teapot. What the individual
members of one company think
of the individual merits OF the other, is
an individual right not to be disputed, but
it is to be regretted that any jealousy OF
bitterness, unjust, unreasonable or ven
omous criticism, should have been allowed
to crop out. The structures on "The Mi
kado" by the Tribune have not beer
legitimate criticism any more than ha:
the unstinted mess of adulation pub
lished in the Salt Lake Herald. "Tht
Mikado" has not been brilliantly per
formed-far from it-but we do not think
the public verdict-and the public afte
all are the critics-will be witt
the Tribune, that it has beer
murdered" Some features o
the opera have called for great dea
of charity and consideration, but then i
was an amateur company, and SO adver
tised; while other portions have received
the unqualified and generous approval O
the best vocalists and musicians of TIN
city, several of the numbers in the secont
act last night receiving well-meritec
recalls.
1t is true the company have failed t.
interpret the opera with any great degre
OF success; that there has been painful
slowness in dialogue, action and singing
with manifest lack of that brightness an
piquancy which is the very soul OF conf
opera; but, nevertheless, some of the gem
have been given to us sparkling in an at
mirable setting the few errors of tn
chorus dwindle to nothing compared t
its general excellence, and the piece ha
had superb mounting. If we are t
> have critics in our midst, let us have fai
, criticism; for the public understand tn

Almost n Blue Church Tragedy.

President William Sullivan, of the
National Blue Church, with headquarters
in Salt Lake, was summoned to Carter's
gun store early yesterday morning to ar
rest the tragic hand of suicidal men,
Der of the order. The worthy link in the
legion of whisky annihilators had appar-
emily become discouraged at the pros.
poets OF a long and chilly winter, therefore
he shook his boon companions around
the stove of five-cent beer saloon and
went to the gun store to purchase means
for an easy and quick trans.
Portation TO a more congenial
bourne. The beacon-nosed bishop
OF the Blue church handed out his Sl.25
for pistol and made bee line up over
the Nineteenth ward bench, with the
worthy President and two officers in ptlr-
suit. But the fellow didn't intend to die,
he was resolved on the death OF IL canine
which lnonopolized the whole street and
sidewalk on his wcll-beaten cross-cut to
the free drinks saloon" The enraged
member of the Blue church shot
the threatening cur and started
to retrace his footsteps to town. when be
ran up against the worthy president, with
a resuscitating flask of the church l,ever-
age.
The joke was apparent, and Sullivan
passed round the reconciling spirit of the
Blue Church without solicitation, and
then, catching hack to the II oclocl,
Y. O. train, an end was put to the several
little surprises on the part OF the presi-
dent, officers and the man who fooled
them.

FAIR COUNTERFEIT DIRECTORS.
The Most Expert i'm the Country.
Poison Absorbed I'm Handling.

|
There is n very large amount of coun-
terfeit paper afoat, and some OF it finds
its way to the Treasury, when it is discov-
cred in the redemption division. 1t is
here that all the money sent in from out
side sources is counted and examined.
The counting and sorting are done by
ladies', and they are the most expert in
the country. They can tell a counterfeit
instinctively, with eyes open or shut, and
there is not bank cashier in the United
States, or even among the large contin-
gent now sojourning in Canada, who
could compete with them in the matter
of determining counterfeits. They can
tell d spurious bill as far as they can see
it, and the mere handling of the paper is
enough for them to decide upon its genu-
ineness.
The silk paper upon which treasury
notes are printed can only be made by
expensive machinery, and it is a felony
to even manufacture the blank paper
without due authority. Under the cir
cumstances all counterfeits are printed
upon inferior paper, which lends this
great facility in the matter OF detection
These female experts receive $75 per
month for their services. They do
nothing but count from Q in the morning
until 4 in the afternoon, and their hands
move with Il rapidity seldom acquired by
the most expert bank clerks. But they
make no mistakes. A miscount or II
counterfeit overlooked comes out OF the
wages Of the one making the error, and
two or three mistakes a month would
wipe out girls salary, as some of the
bills handled are very large.
! The great drawback of the position is
the poison absorbed by the continuous
handling of money. The backs of all
treasury notes are printed with pigment
which consists chiefly OF Paris green.
Small particles of this substance are alb
sorbed, and in a year or two the girl who
may have entered the Treasury smooth
skinned and healthy finds herself a vic.
tim of lassitude, and with her hands and
face broken out in malignant sores
Each employe is furnished with sponge
to moisten the fingers while counting. A
new one is supplied every morning, and
by evening its color will have changed tc
dull black by the action OF the poison
Notwithstanding this drawback there il
never any difficulty in filling vacancies.

The advertised race between Jack
Oddly, heel and toe, and Saunders and
Bourne on skates, took place at the
Skating Pavilion last night before large
number of interested spectators. The
challenge and contract obliged Oddly to
walk two miles square heel and toe while
the skaters covered three miles. Purse,
800. Everyone was OF the opinion that
Oddly would be left far in the shade, but
he was only defeated by about seventy
five feet. AT about o O'Clock w. T..
Lynch, as judge, started the well-known
pedestrian and Oscar Bourne on the
novel contest. Bourne skated the
first mile and u half, and
then Lon Saunders Tapped on
and finished the remainder OF the dis
lance. Oddly started on n steady, prac-
ticed stride, and gradually increased his
speed without once tagging, and com
pleted his two miles OF thirty-two laps in
exactly fifteen minutes and forty seconds
The race was exciting from being so close
from what was expected.
1t is probable that another like ex-
hibition will take place under the same
rules and conditions. Many persons are
now OF the opinion that Oddly can walk
the two miles in less time than the two
men can skate three, although it looks to
be quite impossible.

The owls in New Zealand used to be as
harmless as doves; indeed, they once
were "mousing owls" and, therefore,
useful. But one night settler left a
shcspskin nailed to his roof, and an owl

left thereon. That owl became sheep.

ticability Of procuring thereupon adj

artesian wells or by reservoirs for col

During the past few years there has
been disposition to consolidate the
business of stock raising on the pub
lie lands. 1t has been found that the
average cost per head for the manage
ment OF large herds is much less than
for small ones. One stock company
in Wyoming adyertises the ownership
of ninety different brands, each Of
which formerly represented a distinct
herd. Improvement in the quality OF
animals is going on much faster in The
northern territories than in Texas and
New Mexico. The s'natiye'' and
Texas cows are being crossed by
males Of the best breeds for beef. Car
loads Of short-horns, Hereford, and
polled Angus bulls have been pur-
chased by northern stockmen For inn
proving their herds. Many breeders
of fine stock \ find their customers
among the ranchmen of the distant
northwest. 1t is admitted thatit costs
more to raise calves in the northern
territories than in Texas and New
Mexico, but it is claimed that their
superior value more than makes up

Health and Wealth.

names. TO have health is to be we'll;
to have wealth is also to be well-well

Wealth is for the most part got in
three ways--by Inheritance; by self
denial; bp care, labor and attention;
often by Some combination of these
three. Wealth is lost by. extravaggant

neglect. s. Milf. "
Health may also be got in these
three ways. 4 man may inherit it
from bis ancestors; he may gain or
keep it by denying his appetites for
luxurious food and drink, and for ex-
eesses of all kinds; he may besides
have to work for. it., by pains-taking
exercise, and constant supervision
over his habits. In brief, unless a
