SLEEPING POSITIONS.
The Difficulty Of Keeping Up With
the Scientific Innovations.

A medical paper has a new health
preserving racket, that OF sleeping Wild
the face downward. These plans. and
specifications for sleeping are getting a
little too numerous. We always try to
live up to them. When some old medical
authority, who has got his cemetery full
and retired from active slaughter, shouts
that a person should sleep with the head
toward the north so that the electric cur
rents will pass through the body on the
proper route, We sleep that way. Ii an
other moss-grown practitioner, with as
good record for fatality, solemnly as
serts that the only authorized and fully
guaranteed way to slumber is with the
head towards the south, and gives the
same reason as the other, we just move
the pillow after we turn in. When still
another rival of the pale rider, with his
back broke by lifting on the rate of NOR
tality, announces that the only way to
get along peacefully with the electric cur
rent is to sleep With the head to the east
or west, so that they will slide over the

even gladly, comply. Every time the

Tailoring at the Penitentiary.

Home manufactures are most excel
lent institutions as a rule. Marshal Ire
land has, however, established an indus
try about which there is certain to be
some difference in opinion, as regards the
proprlety OF encouraging and patronizing
it. He has recently opened merchant
tailoring establishment at the peniten-
tary, where all the latest styles of striped
suits are manufactured. Olsen, the U. c..
convict, is foreman and cutter, and while
he doesn't pretend to manipulate the
tape with as much grace and precision as
Joe Obendorfer or Joe Baumgarten, vet
he manages to turn out suit that pris-
oner can get into. The boys have
no occasion to spread themselves

ent Olsen contrives to work in now and
again sort ofnovelty feature that affords
the boys the satisfaction of knowing that
their fashions are notch or two ahead
OF some of their associates. Samuel III.
b. Smith is credited with not only con-
Stunning an ordinary suit and a half of
cloth, but with taxing the limit of the
superintendent tape most distressingly.
The suit was made, however, and the
Marshal has ordered more goods from
the East.

NEW TREASURER AND AUDITOR.
They File a Motion for Judgment in
Their Suit Against the Present
Incumbents.

Arthur Pratt and Bolivar Roberts,
Governor Murray's appointees for Terri
torial Auditor and Treasurer, filed with
the clerk of the Third District Court last
evening, a motion for judgment in the
matter of their suits against the present
incumbents for possession of the offices
and appurtenances. This action will place
the cases on the law and motion calendar
for the April term, and will in all proba-
bility obtain for them a hearing during
next week, as Judge Zane will give prece-
dence to the law and motion calendar, it
is understood, at the opening of
the term. Even if an appeal be
taken from the Judgment of
Judge Zane's court there will then be
left the final recourse of hearing before
the Territorial Supreme Court, and as
that body will have session in the early
part of the April term, it is not hazarding
much to presume that a very few weeks
will witness the installation of the new
officers and the retirement of Messrs.
Clayton and Jack. Auditor Pratt does
not entertain the least doubt but he will
soon be placed in possession of the office,
and that nothing in the nature of a per
slstent opposition will be offered.

1t Didn't Work Well,

Last Saturday, in the cross-examina-
ton of witnesses for the plaintiff in the
Morris-Mammoth case, a remarkable
fact came to light, which, owing to the
absence of reporters, has not been made
public. Elias Morris books were
brought into court for the purpose
OF examining the accounts with the
Mammoth mining company, or rather
with Butler johnson, who is said to have
done the business. The attorneys opened
the ledger to the accounts named and
thought they discovered something very
strange in the title line. 1t read 'eB
Johnson-The Mammoth Mining Com
pany,", and the individual name ap-
peared away over to the left of the
page, and had evidently been
written over the rough surface
resulting from the erasure of
the word Debtor" which originally had
appeared there. Mr.. Morris was sub
Jected to raking questioning as to
whether he had opened and maintained
the account with Mr.. Johnson or with
the Mammoth mining company, to which
ne insisted it had been to the former.
When cornered On the point of erasure
and the substituting of the Individual
name, he threw the responsibility of the
act upon his book-keeper, MIR. Giaque.

LOW.Necked Dresses.

Miss Cleveland did and Miss Cleve-
land didn't write the letter to Mrs. Stan
ton or an unknown friend about low
necked dresses, and between contradic-
ton and assertion the Washington mind
is in a bad state. 1t is willing, however,
to praise whoever did write the vigorous
letter attributed to Miss Cleveland. Mrs.
Belva Lockwood, too, has thrown her.
self into the breach, and writes the most
senseless contribution to literature
of low-necked gowns, once more,
or, as usual, making herself SUI
premely ridiculous. The talk about the
low-cut gowns of this winter is probably
because there has been so little else to
talk about, or else because there are so
many new people to whom the full-dress
attire OF conventional society is strange.
In the latter case people compassionately
tell these badly-shocked ones of what
they have missed by not having been
here before, when the Arthur court was
in bloom. Those were the good old
tlmes' when the wife of an ex-diplomat,
a naval officers wife, pretty young
Philadelphia matron, an ex-cabinet
officers wife, and cabinet
officers daughter joined with
the ladies of the diplomatic
corps in the race for nudity, and made
small pretense of having waists to their
gowns. 1t seems strange that all the ex-
element about immodest dress should be
raised this year when the most illustrious
examples are gone, and the people are so
proper and SO moral that they have made
society flat, stale and Improbable and
the season total failure. The two

SITTING FOR.THEIRsPHOTOS.
The Penitentiary Convicts Face the
Camera.

Eighty-six more of the penitentiary
convicts were photographed yesterday by
Junius Young & Co., which almost COM
pletes the list. A DEMOCRAT reporter
was shown several of the proof sheets in
Marshal Ireland's Office this morning,
and asked the Marshal what his object
was in having all the prisoners photo
graphed
''It is a requirement of law, or GUS
tom." said Mr.. Ireland, "to have in the
Marshal's office a likeness of the con-

BURGLARY AT BINGHAM JUNCTION
Seventy Dollars in Cash and Other
Plumber Taken.

A dispatch was received by the D. q
R. G. officials this morning stating
that burglars had broken into the COM
pany's Office at Bingham junction and
stolen $40 in cash and other valuables,
and that three of them were on their
way to Salt Lake with the plumber.
Special policeman Thomas Daniels, who
is Waterman at the D. & r. depot, noti-
fed officer William Calder, and they both
set out in pursuit ofthe burglars. 1t was
about $50 o'clock when the word
reached town, and about half-past 8
when the officers found their game.
Calder took the regular train and Daniels
went in buggy, subsequent word hav-
ing been received that the three men
were following the track midway between
the Junction and Cottonwood. By the
time the officers got on the scent the
parties had reached Cottonwood, and
were captured without much difficulty.
They appeared to be strangers and are
hard looking citizens. Mr.. Daniels left
Officer Calder in charge of the thieves,
and himself came back to the city to OBJ
tain means of transportation for the
prisoners. Receiver Bancroft gave in
structions to have an engine sent down
after them, and it was expected they
would arrive about o'clock.
From all that can be learned of the
burglary, it appears that these three in
dividuals and one other, who was not
captured, went down on last nights
freight train which left here at 10 o'clock.
They reached the junction about one hour
later and, it is supposed, waited around
till the agent, Mr.. S. j. NORM, and his
assistant had retired An entrance
was effected sometime after midnight
while both the Office men were asleep,
and some idea Of the daring recklessness
of the burglars may be inferred
rom the fact that they went right to
5he beds of the sleepers and carried off
he trousers of both of them. They took
what money there was in the drawer,
to about $40 and a quantity of
,ther plumber, and got almost safely out

afternoon. An examination will probably {

Mormon School Teachers.

The superintendent of public instruc'
ton for Idaho has ruled that Mormons
are not eligible as school teachers IN that
Territory for the reason that ''the teacher
who teaches crime to be right, violates
the duties imposed in the law, and Ii
such teaching be disguised under the
pretense OF political doctrine, it violates
section 80, forfeits his or her wages, and
the right OF the district to share in the
public school moneys, and in such cases
should have the permit or certificate
revoked by the county superintendent"
Mormonism and polygamy are too near
" associated to render it advisable to
have the rising generation of Idaho
taught by even Mormon.

An Intellectual Disguise.

Women's clothes, says writer in the
St. Louis Globe Democrat, make the most
foolish disguise in the world for man to
assume when he wants to make success
of concealing his identity, for there is not
any man living capable OF counterteltlng
woman's walk sufficiently we'll to de-
ceive an ordinary student OF human
nature. There is swing and peculiar
step to even the most masculine OF Wo-
men that the wearer of pantaloons can
not duplicate. Just look at the female
on the stage; their walk
gives them away at once, despite their
shoes and certain atrocious
wiggle that they acquire in learning the
art.

ATLANTIC ICEBERGS.
The Great Risks Run by North At
lantic Vessels.
Huge Masses of Ice Borne Along the Broad
Bosom of the Labrador Current
Ships Discovered on the Ends
of Immense Bergs-Late
Collisions,

In the daily papers, atintervals, more
or less widely separated, we may see
notices of icebergs passed by ships on
their passages to and from the ports of
North America. Not unfrequently
thrilling account reaches US of ship
wrecks, suffering and sad loss of life,
caused by some ill-fated vessel collid-
ing with an iceberg and sinking in mid
ocean. Occasionally, some noble
ship, replete with all modern improve
ments under the command of a skill
full navigator, carrying precious
freight of eager hearts and willing
hands to their Eldorado of the Far
West, sails from our shores. Nothing
more is heard of her. In little while
she is posted at Lloyd's as missing, and
a total loss. Her insurance is paid:
and except to few hearts at home be-
wailing their loss, her fate fades away
in oblivion.
Few landsmen would, however, be
able to infer from these necessarily
crude and fragmentary paragraphs OF
the newspapers the great risks which are
run in all seasons of the year by passen-
gers and crews in the North Atlantic.
The most important dangers are ice
bergs, fogs, and derelict vessels. Ice
bergs are more especially to be met
with in this ocean from the middle OF
February to the commencement OF
July. The barrier of northern ice is
broken up by the increasing power of
the SUMS rays as he marches onward in
his apparent path towards the summer
solstce, attaining day by day a greater
northern declination. Far to the north,
in those awful ice-bound regions within
the arctic circle where so many brave
men have perished, each glacier pro-
trudes an icy mass beyond the land and
resting on the water. In course of
time the extremity is wrenched violently
off by the upward bearing pressure of
the sea. After few convulsive somer-
saults, the resulting iceberg, in all its
grandeur, floats placidly in its
new element, and is now free to
be acted on by the forces of
wind and current. The bergs are
borne southwark by the Great Arctic
or Labrador current, which vast body
of water washes the east coast Of
