GEORGE o. cANNoS's CONDITION.
\ Cor,saitation of Physicians Gives
Evidence That the Apostle ~
Sick Man.

This morning George q. Cannon was
reported by those who came from his
bedside as somewhat improved, although
one Of his sons was OF the opinion that
such was not the case, and attributed the
hopeful statement OF his father TO
the latter's indomtable will. Later
in the day it was rumored
that his condition had grown
seriously worse, and that Doctor lIamil-
ton and other physicians had been hastily
summoned. This report was very gen
orally believed for the reason that one
prominent physician had been heard to
say that he did not believe Cannon would
ever leave his room, and to substantiate
this, the doctor said that the complaint
of diabetes was of itself dangerous i'm the
stage that the patient had it, and that the
shock resulting from the fall would
greatly aggravate it.
DIR. Hamilton was seen late this after
noon, having just come from Cannon's
bedside lie stated that he had accom-
panied DIR. Anderson this morning and
had assisted him in rc-adjusting Mr..
Cannon's nose, which the doctor thought
would heal mp without any disligure-
nGnt. The patient. he stated, was
suffering less pain and his general symp-
toms were favorable. DIR. Hamilton
manifested "a singularly non-committal
manner, however, that left the reporter
feeling that perhaps, after all there was
something in the rumor that Mr.. Can
mons condition was dangerous.

Taylor's New Bicycle Treadlc.

In the latest issue of the Scientific
american, just TO hand, considerable
space is devoted to the subject of the new
bicycle trcadlc invented by George j.
Taylor, OF Salt Lake City. A large wood
cut engraving showing the treadle in
operation accompanies the article, and is
80 perfect reproduction from the photo
graph that it becomes Il matter of ease TO
recognize "Billy'' Wood, with his two
medals infull view, mounted on his blcy-
Gle, in racing costume. u o. 10
The article in speaking OF the invention
says: "a novel and important improve
ment in trcadles for bicycles, ETC., is
clearly shown in the accompanying en-
craving. The improvement consists, OF
short lever attached to the usual pedal
pin, extending several inches rearward,
where il is hinged TO 4 swinging fulcrum
rod, which is hinged to the upper part OF
the fork, thereby allowing the lever 10
follow the crank motion with almost
absolute freedom from friction, while at
the same time it acts as iulcrum for the
lever, which, with tho pedal, projects for.
ward OF the crank far enough 10 give Il
considerable advantage in leverage over
the ordinary crank"

Death of Philip Varian.

Little Philip Vaiian, the once bright
and interesting son OF ex-Prosecuting AT
torney G. s. Narian, after n weeks suf-
fering with some fearful brain disease,
died ut midnight last night. The little
fellow some time ago had received an in
jury to his head as result OF playful
encounter with one of the neighbours
children, but whether this in any way
superinduced the trouble or not is not
known, and Mr.. and Mrs. Narian have
never themselves been heard to speak OF
it. From the first the doctors have been
confident that the case was u hopeless
one, so that the bercaved family have
be ell in Il measure partially prepared for
the shock, which, however, comes with
no less grief on that account. H.
The child was little over seven years
Of age, and was the admiration Of the
neighbors us he was the idol OF his par
cnts. He is the same little fellow who
was PROSTATE with typhoid fever, when
the dastardly act OF throwing filth into
the residence was perpctrated last fall.
The family have the sincere sympathy
of their friends, of whom there are a
great many here. The funeral took place
this afternoon from st. Paul's Chapel.

Disadvantages of Being Pretty.

The pretty girl is the one that has all
the trouble in this world, The pretty girl
figures very extensively in the sensation
columns OF the press, Int not 20 her
palmer sister. The homely girl is never
found on slab in the morgue with the
cold water dripping on her. She never
runs away with another woman's hus-
band, and there is no record OF tho fact
that she ever poisoned anybody, broke
her fathers heart, or caused the tongue
OF scandal to wag. Happy is the homely
girl, and thrice happy are they who care
for and cherish her. She never gets into
trouble, and nobody has any cause to
fear her or to weep for her. II is the
pretty girl who does the mischief.

The Great launching Success.

Evans and IIoey, in their greatest sue
cess, I" a Parlor Match" were greeted by
Il large and appnciaIivc audience last
night. The piece, while it partakes
largely ofthe character of "Book Agent, .
"Rag Baby" and "a Bunch OF Keys"
is in several respects far ahead OF either
in point OF genuine fun. 1t has
several entirely new and most cxtraordi-
narily funny features, prominent among
which is the inimitably amusing medium
cabinet act, which is arranged as
IL is performed, with artistic in
are at their very hest in their
patented characters OF the book
agent and tramp, and especially the for
mer, who excites no end OF laughter in
his excellent acting. Miss Minnie French
became at once IL favoritc in her clever
acting, and contributes almost rs
much rs any other one OF the perform
ers TO the enjoyment of the
piece; and as much might almost
be said also OF Miss Nellie Page, whose
singing rs well as acting was very favor
ably received. In the male support Mr..
Daniel Hart shone rs the ablest and
most attractive performer, and rendered
his part very acceptably, particularly in
the musical portion.

There is nothing particularly new in
mining matters. Both companies are
working to their full capacity and the new
teachers have begun operations. There
has been big strike made in the Butte
mine, and several other good finds have
been reported, while several sales are re-
