Her Weight i'm Gold.

Mrs. Jesus Castro, an aged Mexican
lady, now residing at American Flag, in
the Santa Catilina mountains, is perhaps
the only woman who, literally speaking,
ever cost her husband her weight in gold.
1t is said that in the early gold-digging
days of California she was resident OF
Sonora, in which State she was born and
grew to womanhood. When about the
age of IL a paternal uncle, but few years
her senior, returned with his companions,
gold laden, from the Ell Dorado of the
West, and became desperately enamored
of her. He sought her hand in marriage
and was accepted, but the church refused
because of the near relationship existing
between them, to solemnize the marriage
Persuasion being in vain, he tried the
power of gold to win the church his way,
and succeeded only by the payment of
her weight in gold. She at that time
weighed III pounds, and against her in
the scales glittering dust was shoveled.
Her affianced husband still had sufficient
of this worlds goods to provide a COM
Portable home, and they were married.
They lived happily together, and she
bore her husband eleven children. In
the course of years he died, and she
married again, Mr.. Cestro being her
second husband. The above is fact
and not fiction, as living witnesses can

The Gorlinski Concert.

The advertisement of the concert to be
given at the Salt Lake Theatre this even
ing is sufficient to convince anyone that
the entertainment will be as fine as has
ever been given in this city by local
artists, which is saying a great deal
When such instrumentalists as Prof. Rad
cliffe, Miss Naomi Conklin, Prof. Peder-
son, w. H. Weihe and L. Van Praag
combine with such vocalists as Mr.. Rob
ert Gorlinski, Mrs. J. Leviberg, Mrs. A.
d. McCook, Miss Edna Russell, Miss
Louie Wells, Mr.. j. d. Spencer and Mr..
G. D. Piper, a most excellent entertain
ment is insured. The programme APP
pears in another column. Numbers that
should be especially noticed are the
Lucia" duet by Mr.. Gorlinsk and Mrs.
McCook, and the quartette, "Sweet and
Low" by Misses L. Wells and Edna
Russell and Messrs. J. D. Spencer and G.
d. Piper.

Patience in the North.

Mr.. D. S. Spencer has just returned
from a trip to Ogden, Logan, and Brig
ham City in the interests of the Patience
company, and has perfected arrange
ments for the appearance of the company
in those towns. The opera house has
been secured in Logan, and great en-
thusiasm has been created by the an
nouncement that +" Patience " is to be
presented there. The company will I'M
doubtedly meet with great success at
that place. The citizens of Brigham
City have generously offered the use of a
hall, lighted and warmed free of cost.

northern engagement. The part of Lady
Jane will be taken by Miss Wells, and

The Provo Murder Case.

This afternoon at o'clock was set for
the sentence of the two Tdwells and
Anderson. Before sentence was pro-
nounced Arthur Brown, on behalf.iof the
defense, moved for new trial, based on
various alleged errors, which was argued
at considerable length and the sentence
was not pronounced in time for to-day's
issue. The DEMOCRAT ventures the pre-
diction that the motion is overruled7 and
that the Tdwells will be sentenced to
serve thirteen years each in the peniten-
tiary, while Anderson will be given five
years.

BACK YARD SCIENTISTS.
Astronomy :. Through Smoked Glass;
or the Annalar Eclipse.

The annular eclipse .of the sun, which
was visible as partial eclipse in this
locality, was one of the finest ever wit
messed. hereft The sun resembled per
feet crescent moon at 10 80, and with the
fine cloud effects, presented most beau
tiful appearance.
There were number of people in the
city, whose guilty consciences led them
to fear the day OF judgment was at
hand, when the chill and sickly
gloom crept over the valley, but
the little group of back yard scientists
who assembled in the rear of the Wasatch
building knew better. Each one held a
piece of smoked glass in his hand, the
sooty traces of which were visible on the
owners noses, as the result of too eager
pursuit of astronomical lore Prof
Rivers gave the crowd the full benefit of
his scientific and planetary researches.
With his pencil he traced shapeless
figure on his piece of smoked glass, which
he called the moon, and then explained
how the sun, rising at the southeast
corner of the glass would pass behind
the lower portion of the moon, and held
that the lower portion of old Sol would
therefore remain visible. Judge Lynch
took issue with the learned Professor at
this point, contesting that the King of Day
would strike the moon above the belt,
and would thus be enabled to peep over
Luna's shoulders.
Prof. Bamberger was non-committal
during the controversy, and in his case
silence was golden. The subsequent
movements of the planets proved the cor
rectness of Prof. Rivers theory, and thus
scored another victory for science.

Watered Stock.

A sensation was created at the State
house, Boston, the other day, when Hon.
Charles S. Lilley, OF Lowell, in the course
of an argument in opposition to the Am
'erican Bell Telephone company's petition
for an increase of capital stock, told the
committee that the company is worth
nearer $40,000,000 than $4,000, 900, as
stated in it's report. Mr.. Lilley
averred that the item for patents
has been transferred from the list of as
sets to that of liabilities, and that this
change. which he claimed could not be
satisfactorily explained, would account
for $14, 900, 900 of the discrepancy between
the nominal and the real wealth of the
company. He insisted that the public
should not be compelled to pay dividends
on watered stock, and said the influence
of these speculative telephone enterprises
have been parallel to that of the company
presided over by Mr.. Montague Tigg, and
immortalized by Dickens.
Counsel for the Bell company said that
the bookkeeping was correct, and invited
the committee to visit the Office and IN
spect the books. The offer was accepted,
and subcommittee was appointed to in
vestigate and report.

THE STAKE CONFERENCE.
a Big Meeting atlthe Tabernacle Yes
terday Afternoon.

The number Of people who came in
from the country to attend conference
yesterday was not SO great as might have
been expected, considering the <balmy
weather and excellent roads. Meetings
were held in the Tabernacle in the morn
ing, afternoon and evening.
One thing very noticeable at the latter
noon meeting was the chilly and deserted
aspect'of the three pulpits, and the alb
sence of church .dignitaries.
At . O'Clock, the hour appointed for the
commencement of 1.-THE meeting, the ele-
waited stations usually filled by presi-
dents, apostles and bishops, were with
out a single occupant. Shortly after 2
O'Clock the large auditorium became so
crowded that it was found necessary to
throw open the galleries.
Abram Hatch, president OF the Sum-
NIT County Stake, was the first speaker.
He counseled more strict observance of
Gods laws by the people, in order that
they might become as unit in uphold
ing the doctrines of the church.
Abram Cannon, son of George @.
Cannon, was one of the speakers. He
said;the Church of Jesus Christ Of Lat
ter-day Saints had never made step in
advance that it did not meet with the
most determined opposition. The
Lord had never revealed un-
to his servants any principle
designed to benefit them but the hosts of
Satan had been aroused and exerted
themselves to prevent the practice of
that principle, and the speaker looked
upon the present raid as an evidence that
the people were progressing. He did not
think there was man or woman within
the reach of his voice who would shrink
from practicing the principles Of their re-
ligion because of what had been done
since that raid commenced He thought
the raid would have exactly the opposite
effect to that intended and desired by the
enemies of the church, and he knew
scores of young people who were willing
and ready to follow in the footsteps of
their parents, and practice the principles
of their religion, let the consequences be
what they may-even death, Nothing
less than determination of the Latter-day
Saints could prevent this religion from
exerting its influence over the people
Several other speakers addressed the
audience, but the remarks of none of
them would interest the general public.
David f. Davis and Thomas Harris were
sustained as home missionaries.

One of the tricks of French presti-
digitateur is surprising illusion. A
wedding-ring borrowed from lady is
hammered into bar by some volunteer
assistant among the audience. The con-
juror borrows programme, rolls it into
cornucopia-shaped receptacle for the ring,
and without the use of the left hand
crumples the paper into ball, which the
volunteer holds tight, full in view of the
audience. When he is directed to open it
he finds that the crumpled ball of paper
consists of five sealed envelopes, one
within the other, and with the perfect
wedding-ring in the smallest and inner
most.
