There is much complaint that the Post
master General has been guilty of offensive
partisanship'' in combining bis invitations to
join in the glorious work of purifying the
post Offices to Democratic congressman of
Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and Virginia, and rep
resentatiyes from other States are rushing to
Washington in hot haste and demanding
that they, too, be favored with the confden-
tial circular. The eagerness which these
gentlemen manifest to engage in the work
shows clearly enough how much reform they
expect to find in it.

The revolt in the Saskatchewan county

The revolt in the Saskatchewan county is
over probably for the present. What to do
with Riel will probably prove vexatious
problem. He has been guilty of a crime
punishable with death, but it is doubtful if
Sir John Macdonald will dare to brave the
cdium which his execution would rouse
among the French Canadians. 1t is alto
gether likely that Macdonald would have
been better pleased had Riel been allowed to

President Hendricks, who spent an hour
with Mr.. Villas on Saturday exhibiting list

The Story of Dives Explained.

DR.. H, who fills a suburban pulpit
out west, is of practical turn of mind,
and not infrequently impresses his con-
gregation by original expositions of the
Scriptures. In one of recent series Of
discourses upon Lazarus the doctor said ::
Now some fool of an intidel will say /:
How could Abraham hear the rich man
calling all the way from Heaven to
Hades" This, my friends, will not be
difficult TO comprehend when it is re-
membered that We are talking by tele-
phone LOO miles or more every day"
But again: "This was an actual occur
renee. 1t was not mere parable that
the Lord was relating, but real happen
ing. He says: There was man. etc.
Lazarus was doubtless the name OF the
poor man, but the name OF the rich man
is not given. He is called Dives. This
was nof his name, however. Dives is
simply Latin word, meaning rich, or a
rich man. Now you may inquire why
was his name not also given? And the
most probable explanation is that the
Lord withheld the name of the deceased
out Of consideration for the feelings OF
his surviving friends. "-Harper's Hooo-
zine.

Glove and Law"

Milton Mobiles opens his two nights
engagement at the Salt Lake Theatre on
Thursday, when Glove and Law will be
again presented to the Salt Lakers. 1t
has lost none of its popularity, as will be
seen from the following extract from the
Chicago Tribune of August 18th:
1t is long time since Hooley's re-
sounded with such uproarious shouting
as was the case last Sunday night, when
it was filled to its utmost capacity. The
occasion was the first production, here at
least, of highly-sensational melodrama,
called "Love and Law" by MIR. Milton
Mobiles, a longtime popular actor. Con-
trary to what is often noticeable when an
actor writes his own plays, Mr.. Mobiles
has not this time reserved the principal
part to himself. Perhaps the author has
mainly had the purpose of fitting the
piece Tor the introduction ON the stage of
Miss Dollie Mobiles. If so, he has worked
skillfully, as she appears to decided adj
vantage as Rita, the street singer. Miss
Mobiles is apparently an intelligent young
lady, with handsome physique, graceful
manners and fine articulation. Some
very popular actors, like Messrs. Frank
+. Aiken and John W. Blaisdell, were
in the caste, and added much TO the per-
Torrance, which pleased exceedingly
that class OF theatre-goers to which stir
ring incidents are the thing they es-
pecially admire.

coMsTocK LOW GRADE ORE.
Millions OF Tons Taken From the
Upper Levels Of the ComstOek
Mines During the Last
Ten Years.

The daily shipments Of ore from the
Comstock mines to the mills on the Car
son river aggregate thirty-six cars, carry
ing 2Ss tons. When the mills are in full
blast again this winter the daily ship
ments will aggregate nearly 1000 tons,
requiring 125 cars to transport it to the
mills. The daily output from the mines
of Storey county at present is about 400
tons. producing bullion valued at about
Sc 900 every twentv-four hours, which is
less than one-third of the amount that
will be daily produced when the increase
of water in the Carson river next fall Will
furnish motive power to keep the 3o0
stamps in the mills on its banks in mo-
ton.
In the past ten years the upper levels
of the Comstock mines and mines in
Storey county have produced nearly
100000 tons OF low-grade ore. The bull
lion realized from the crushing of this
mountain of quartz is valued at $50, 00O,-
600. Notwithstanding this large output
of low-grade ore, the vast deposits on the
upper levels as vet show no signs of CIV
ing out, and new bodies are being con-
stantly uncovered. Should the project
mentioned in last Thursdays Chronicle,
of working the vast vein OF low-grade
quartz cut through in running the Sutro
tunnel, be carried out successfully, it will
add over $500, 1000 more to the annual
bullion product of the Comstock resulting
from the working OF low-grade ores

False Beauty Spots.

Chicago girls have long been noted for
their love OF ice cream and their large
feet, and now they are accused of having
artificial dimples, made to order when
and where the fair one may fancy. One
lady is said to nave two dimples on either
arm, and this is how they are created:
The artist to whom she submitted herself
first placed a glass tube over the spot
where the dimple was desired. BY suck
ing the air out of the tube he raised
a slight protuberance and then deity
tied around it bit of scarlet silk.
With a "wicked-looking knife" which
was very sharp, he sliced off this little
plmple he had made. The wound was
quickly healed up and an inverted silver
cone was placed over it soas to press down
exactly into the centre of it. The fair pa
tent went TO have it dressed for five sue
cessive days, and the wound was found to
be completely healed. The silver cone
was then removed, and there, sure
enough, was the prettiest little dimple in
the world.-Philadelphia Times.

IMPORTED GoODs-FALL STYLE.
Marshal Ireland Treats the Prts.
Oners Mt the Pen to n Suit.
able Present.

Yesterday Marshal Ireland kindly pre-
sented the prisoners at the Pen with
striped suits that don't exactly suit some
OF the fastidious gentry Of that boarding
house. Rudger Clawson, Milton Musser,
Angus Cannon, and other q. C.'s there
seem to think that the dunning OF job
lot OF striped bathing suits is the only
thing that makes them prisoners, and
they were not the least backward in ex-
pressing their disgust at such circus gar
ments being inauguraGed. The fact that
every convict will have to crawl inside of
bed-ticking suit and fall in line on dress
parade takes all highness out of the
boiled shirt nabobs, who no longer bear
any outward distinction from their fellow
prisoners.
The idea OF instituting such regula-
ton costume at the Palace boarding
house has long been considered, and
Marshal Ireland has shown good judg-
ment in adopting the universal robes, as
it will shut off more efectually any means
Of escape, though a prisoner should OBJ
tain the outside.

THE FIRE ALARM TO-DAY.
A Blaze Near the Deseret Hospital.
Which Might Have Been Worse.

The city was aroused by the fire alarm
at about l o'clock this afternoon, and
thrown into CONSERVATION by the report
that the Deseret Hospital, at the corner
OF First North and Second West streets,
was on fire. Teams, foot travellers and
bicycle perambulators caught the spirit
of excitement and rushed from all direc-
tons to the scene of the confagration
The fire proved to be nothing more
than the burning of small barn and a
81 load OF hay at the rear of the hospital,
and belonging to that institution. The
only live thing about the stable was
yearling pig, which got out without being
singed and looked on during the fire.
mems operations with as much interest
as any spectator.
Miss Jennie Whipple, the matron OF the
Deseret Hospital, said to the DEMOCRAT
scribe that the barn was surely set on fire
by some careless or malicious person, as
she had just previously visited the place
and observed no signs of any outbreak of
flames. The loss is small, probably not
over 500, but the little flame might have
resulted in the total destruction of all the
buildings adjoining.
