UTAH'S LUNATICS.
ALack of Funds TO Open the New
Territorial Asylum.

From DIR. w. r. Pike, the medical su-
perintendent of the Territorial Insane
Asylum at Provo, who was in the city to-
dav, a DEMOCRAT reporter learned that
the Appointments of the asylum were all
on hand, and that the institution could be
made ready for occupancy in very short
time.
The funds appropriated by the last
Legislature have run out, however, and
until some method is devised by which
$4,000 to SIS 900 can be raised to purchase
supplies and defray the running expenses
for a period of from three to SIX months,
the asylum may not be opened. One
proposition is that the different counties
of the Territory advance pro rata
amount to its maintenance, until the
Legislature meets and grants the needed
relief, and another is that the Board of
Directors stand responsible for all debts
contracted, and have it appropriated
back to them by the Legislature.
The first proposition IS the more least
BILE, and should be the one adopted. IL
would be simple matter for the County
Court of each county to make the neceS-
sary arrangements with the Directors OF
the asylum in this matter, and as the
cost of boarding and attending insane
patients at large institution like this
would not be much more than One-half
the cost where it is done individually,
while the best treatment, Influences and
methods of cure would be supplied, it
would seem to he not only a matter of
economy all around, but really matter
of humanity.
Thirty insane patients could be sup
piled from Salt Lake county alone,
and when the other counties are heard
from there would be sufficient number
to crowd the asylum. Utah is believed
to have more insane people in proportion
to its population than any other State or
TerritOry-due perhaps to climatic in
fuence and characteristics-and some
accommodations are urgently needed and
should be provided for the worst cases.

President Cleyeland's Selection.

In the appointment of Hon. O. w.
Powers, of Kalamazoo, to be Associate
Justice OF the Supreme Court of Utah.
President Cleveland made a wise selec-
ton. Mr.. Powers legal ability is of a
very high order, and few members of the
bar of Michigan are his peers either as
pleaders, advocates or counselors. His
works on Chancery Practice in this State
rank among the standard legal literature.
Personally, too, this appointment is par
tlcularly pleasing to the young Democracy
of the Fourth District, with whom Mr..
Powers has ever been favorite. and
whom he lied TO battle" in 1884 The
appointment reflects credit alike on
President Cleveland, the State and the
dis trict. Niles Democrat.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
Petitions, reports and MisceIian-
eOus Business.

The City Council met in the Council
Chamber at O'Clock last evening. Mayor
Sharp took the chair and the hearing OF
petitions was commenced.
John Platt and F. Bolwinkle, property
| owners on Apricot street, represented
that the streets in their neighborhood IN
stead of being four rods wide, as they
should be, were mere lanes of twenty
feet or SO in width. They accordingly
petitioned the City Council to order the
streets from Ounce to Centre opened to
their full width Referred to the Com
mittee on Streets and Alleys.
VIM. Fuller. assignee of j. Russell,
saloon keeper, asked permission to dis
pose of the stock of the saloon at pri-
vate sale under Mr.. Russell's unexpired
license. He further requested that when
business was closed out, the balance
remaining after the City's claims against
Mr.. Russell had been settled, should be
mittee on License.
May & Kneass, of the Tunnel saloon,
having discontinued business, asked that
the unexpired portion of their license be
refunded. Referred to Committee on
License.
H. B. Clawson asked that his license
be transferred to J. w. Sanders & CO.
Granted.
Isaac Hunt, being unable on account of
ill-health to continue his business of eX-
pressman, asked that his license be re-
mitted. Granted.
G. w. Parker and J. Fitzgerald were
granted licenses as liquor dealers, and the
Council turned their attention to reports.
City Attorney F. s. Richards had
nothing new to report, the general condi-
ton of things being about the same as it
was when he made his last report.
The Marshal reported $253 33 expended
from his contingent fund. Referred to
Committee on Police.
The Committee on Water Works re-
commended that the petition of j. c.
Watson, asking for renewal of permits
sion to use city water for sprinkling pur-
poses, be granted under the conditions
that he use canal water as much as pos
sible, and that he pay into the treasury
the sum of $3.50 for the season. Granted.
Watermaster Winder's report on his
canal expenditures was found to be cor
rect.

the street from the Continental Hotel
corner to the Utah & Nevada depot for
the convenience of the patrons of the
bathing trains.

1t shows the bullion yield of this noted
Montana mine for the three months to
have been $685., 274.56, assay value; dis
count on silver and expressage on bull
lion footing up $50 ,564.54, leaving net

Cornish pump account, the entire cost of
which is $57, 1886 The mills were shut
down for nearly half of the month of Feb
ruary to make the change in the pumping
system, as they run entirely with the
water pumped from the Alice mine. Sew
veral thousand dollars were paid during
the quarter for two revolving cylindrical
dryers, for use at the sixty-stamp mill.

torily, and has done so since it was

rig, double direct-acting engines.

The TaIk of a Lifetime.

"
It has been estimated that public
speaker says in one hour, on an average,
what, if printed, would occupy fifteen
octave pages. In ordinary conversation
words flow from the lips quite as rapidly
as in public speech. Supposing, then,
that all the talk of one day be estimated as
equivalent to four hours consecutive
speaking a man says in one week what, if
printed, would be an octave volume of
800 pages. In one year he speaks fifty
two such volumes; and in thirty years
he would have an extensive library of
1860 volumes. 1t is a matter of rejoicing
that the talk of society is not thus printed
and perpetuated. Few men, if any, could
pass creditably through such a severe
test
1t is said that Swift, at an evening party,
on one occasion retired to a corner of
room and commenced noting down the
talk of the company. Being asked what
he was doing, he produced the verbatim
report of the conversation which had just
taken place. Each speaker felt lamenta-
bly, chagrined at the superficial and
trifing character of his utterances. So,
doubtless, would every right minded man
feel if some disciple of the photographic
school were always with us plying his
pencil whenever we speak.

The Sales of One Retail House.


There was neither warmth nor beauty
in the strange thickness of the garb of a
man whom, in one of the largest of our
dry goods stores, l saw emerge from the
business Office doubled in girth since his
entrance a few minutes before. He wore
a heavy, ample overcoat, which was
bulged so irregularly round his middle
that he made quite preposterous figure.
The sudden corpulency was composed of
$50, 900 in notes and coin, packed in bags,
which were fastened by small chains to
his person. He was a messenger dis
patched with the previous twenty=four
hours receipts to the bank for deposit.
He was manacled to his burden in such a
manner that he would necessarily have
formed part of the booty in case of
highway robbery, and several followers
would have overhauled him if he had at
tempted to abscond. The streets of New
York are scarcely safer than a country
road for bearers of good plumber.

Grief and the High Hat.


The high silk hat, which is generally
worn in New York and Boston, does not
meet with much favor in the west, al
though there are always few profess
sional gentlemen who wear it as a badge
of dignity or because they like it 1t is
supplanted by the hard or soft felt hat,
and it is only when man becomes a
widower that he yearns for the stylish high
hat, for no matter how deep his grief is
he cannot express it in a Grape swathing
on a felt hat. It only makes him appear
ridiculous Consequently he does not try
it, and if the silk hat does not feel com

superioritv of Distilled Water.

Dr. Villeneuve, in paper read before
the Academic des Scien ces, stated that,
for drinking purposes, he had found dis
titled water far superior to mineral
waters as the sources of the latter are
often contaminated. He had used dis
titled water for three years. and found
that there is no foundation for the popu-
lar notions that it is disagreeable to the
taste, difficult to digest, and does not con.
tain air. 1t is easily tested; solution of
nitrate of silver gives a precipitate when
added to ordinary drinking water, but is
dissolved in the distilled article.
