Undress Mt the Opera.

A favorite costume at the opera and
balls is waist without neck or sleeves,
and in some instances not even shoulder
straps. If you can imagine woman
with no other waist than her corsets you
can get good idea of this new cut.
Some ladies, whose modesty will not allow
them to go the whole length of this new
fashion, wear feathers instead of shoulder
straps. heard OF one lady the other day,
whose modesty forbade her wearing
one of these waists, but who hated
to be thought questionable, and who, as
compromise with her conscience, wore
flesh-colored chamois skin that fitted her
so tightly that the very elect could not
tell which was the skin of the chamois
and which was the skin of the lady. 1t
is unfortunate that these ladies of fashion
should have any modest conjunction, for
it sometimes makes them feel little UNI
comfortable in their evening undress but
it seldom interferes with their adopting the
costume OF the day. The man who said
that he was inclined to leave the opera
house because he felt that he was playing
the role OF Peeping Tom and looking at
ladies in their bath-tubs, just about de-
scribes the effect produced by some OF
these costumes. The worst of it is that
the more that is written and the more
that is said on the subject only drives
these ladies to further lengths. --Ne,c

Holes In the Street.

Mrs. II. n. Baskin and her daughter
were driving along First West street,
north, on Thursday afternoon, in one
horse vehicle, when they met with an
accident which reflects very discreditably
upon either the city or some other par
ties. The horse, while jogging along
right in the middle OF the road, sank
sank down as far rs the shaves would
permit through the mud and gravel. The
ladies' became terrified and the horse
perfectly helpless. Fortunately, some
gentlemen happening along in team
assisted to eXtricate the horse from its
predicament, unhitched the animal, and
attached the vehicle to their own, and by
this means conveyed the ladies to their
home.
The accident occurred about one block
south OF Captain Hooper's residence,
where water-pipes have been laid within
the past few weeks. There are a num-
Der OF places along the line OF the recent
excavation where the ground has sunk
enough TO make travel for both pedestri-
ans and teams exceedingly precarious,
and something should be done at once to
remedy the evil, or more serious and
more numerous accidents will be the re,
| suit.

THE GUBERNATORIAL CHAIR.
Rumors To-day That Col. Merritt
Will Next occupy the ESccu-
tive Seat.

The most widespread excitement pre-
vailed on the streets most of to-day, re-
sulting from rumor that Colonel 5. a.
Merritt had been appointed Governor oil
Utah. There were parties found who
were ready to give assurances that the
telegram announcing the appointment
had been seen by their informants. Mr..
Merritt, who was found in his Office
shortly after the rumor became circu-
lated, stated to a reporter that he
had heard nothing in relation to
the appointment and didn't believe
any such action had been taken. The re-
port gained such rapid circulation, how
ever, that within few minutes after the
first announcement was heard on the
street several OF Colonel Merritt's inti-
mate friends and admirers called excit-
edly at his office to offer congratulations.
The Colonel himself was not affected in
the slightest perceptible manner over the
report and, in very cool-headed way, in
formed his callers that "there is nothing
in ii"
1t seems that a private telegram was
received from Washington last evening,
stating that President Cleveland and At
torney-General Garland were closeted on
the Utah question, and were considerably
perpexed over the situation of affairs
here. The very plausible inference is
taken from this and some other circum-
stances which have developed within the
pasttwenty- four hours, that John 7. Caine,
having been appraised of the "crisis" be-
tween the Governor and the Legislature
laid the affair before President Cleveland,
who gave the assurance that he would
talk the matter over with General Gar.
land and see what could be done. Mr.
Game may have made the guess in his
telegram to friends here that the result
of the Presidents talk with Garland
might result in the ousting of Governor
Murray and the appointment OF Mr.. Mer
rift. OF course this is only an inference

WITNESSES WHO WERE WANTED.
Hunting for Them i'm the Cannon
Case Brings to Light Two i'm
the Joseph L. Smith
Matter.

Several mounted deputies were seen
scouting around town this morning, and
their movements created very general
impression that something important was
in the wind. When Deputies Greenman
Smith and Cudihee reined up at the Can
non mansion on the Jordan river it was
thought they were searching for either
George O., who is suspected of being gone,
or some important witnesses in his
case. A lady who refused to
give her name was found at
the house and her remarkable anxiety to
keep her identity covered up caused
the officers to take her into GUS
tody, and she, with Kanaka wo-
man also in the house, were brought
up to the Marshal's office. Here
the lady preserved the same determined
stubbornness as she had maintained from
the first, and neither Mr.. Dickson nor any
other OF the officers could obtain the de-
sired information as to the lady's name.
1t transpircs that the lady had been slIs-
pected OF being one of the material wit
nesses in the Cannon case, and in this,
it soon appeared, the officers had
lllluc u llOSt pOSlllNc DiunueT. Dut
their disappointment was considerably
lessened when the lady was recognized
as one OF the polygamous wives OF
Apostle Joseph f. Smith, for whom there
had been Il subpoena pending for some
time past. Mrs. Smith requested that
some of her friends be sent for, which
was granted. VIM. Groesbeck and others
afterwards visiting her at the Marshal's
Office. The Kanaka lady was unable to
speak English, and III. z. Richards, of u
g. NJ. L., who spent several years
on the Sandwich Islands as Il
Mormon missionary, was subppnaed as
interpreter. Mr.. j. II. Moyle, tho
City Attorney, who had come n
Mrs. Smiths bidding, was dispatched
for sureties, which it was of course neces
sary to furnish in any event, and in the
meantime Mr.. Dickson took the ladie!
and the interpreter into the Grand Jury
room.
Mrs. Smith did not require much per.
suasion when taken before the Crane
Jury, and soon announced her name rs
Edna Lampson Smith The Kanaks
woman, it is understood, proiessed posi-
lively that she knew nothing about Georg,
q. Cannon or his family, II strange state
ment in view OF her having been founc
on Cannons home. Mrs. Smith was re
leased on bonds and will be examined il
the near future.

"Skipped by the Light of the Moon.''

Harrison and Gourlay's screaming
farce comedy, "Skipped by the Light Of
OF the Moon," which will be again pro-
duced at the Salt Lake Theatre next Tues
day evening, can lay claim to the longest
and most successful run of all the funny
plays in this country for the past two sea-
sons.
No analysis can be given OF such a
farce. The laughter begins two minutes
after the curtain rises, and the authors
make it point that it shall not stop I'M
til it falls upon the third and last act. To
succeed in this they have hestated at
nothing. There is nothing so wildly i'm
probable in idea, in repartee or in action
that they have not brought to bear. Or
binary methods are pushed aside. Pieces
of this kind-and this is really alone OF
its actual kind-are either not funny at
all or they are too funny for anything.
MIR. Louis Harrison, who takes the lead
ing part in this farce, is a natural-born
wit. He seldom opens his mouth without
saying something that is worth listening
to. He has manner all his own and
belongs to the domain of saturnine COM
edy, half dry and the other half as brill,
ant as Clicquot. Mr.. Gourlay, his part.
ner and fellow-worker, makes the con.
trast. He has humor quite as individ
ualized and an action that would shame
a young monkey. They are both hard
workers and never lose chance. While
the audience roar they go on working W
points, which result in constantly new
climaxes that again produced fresh peals
The best advice to give about piece o
| this kind is to 90 and see it.

OPINIONS ON THE CRISIS.
Caught on the Fly by the "Demo-
crafts" Ubiquitous Reporter.

In making news roundup to-day, a
DEMOCRAT reporter caught on the fly
many expressions and opinions on the
"sgns OF the times" The universal
belief is that the hour OF the crisis in the
affairs OF Utah has arrived-the begin
ming of the end has commenced. Every
body seemed to have something to say,
and gave expression to their views with
out reserve.
A prominent insurance man said he
thought that a commission was now in
evitable; that it has become financial
necessity to save the Territory from going
to pieces. The defunct legislature, he
said, had, through its imbecile course,
I brought the affairs OF the Territory into
such condition as to leave no other
course for Congress to pursue but to en-
] power the President to appoint q COM
/ mission.
Another man OF prominence thought
that Congress would order new cleo
ton and provide for new legislature
within sixty days.
A certain Peoples party newspaper
man offered to bet that a commission
would be appointed before the LIST OF next
July.
Attorney Dickson said this morning
that he had received word from a reliable
source that George @. Cannon was not at
his home where he had been since his
capture. Numbers OF others say that il
Cannon has skipped it is the very worst
thing for his people that he could have
done, and that his departure will moi
postpone the final result one hour, but
instead, hasten the end.
A faithful old Mormon said this morn
ing that if president Cannon has left, i
is both disgraceful and dishonest"
Everybody is hopeful as to the ultima
tum, the Saints, on the one hand, be
lieving that God will deliver his people
and the sinners holding firm and fas
that Uncle Sam will come out boss ant

OPHIR AND DRY CANYON.
New Ore Bodies Discovered Fine
outlook for the Coming Season.

Ophir and Dry Canyon have every in
dication OF big mining boom this season.
The steady price OF lead, coupled with
recent developments in the mines, in
sures greater activity and more general
prosperity than has been known in those
camps for years. At the present time
the bad roads and scarcity of teams tend
to keep the camp back, but, with the
advent of warm weather, both these can
be remedied.
During the past few months some fine
ore bodies have been opened in the
mines owned by the st. Louis CONSOLE
dated Mining Company, and in the near
future the shipments-which now reach
100 tons per month-will be greatly aug
mented The Buck Horn mine, owned and
operated by this company shows immense
bodies OF ore, ranging from five to thirty
two feet in thickness. In fact, the devel-
opments have been so gratifying that
the old "whim process OF hosting has
been abandoned, and u fine new steam
hosting plant is being erected in its
stead. The Fairview, Grey Rock and
Stanton mines, form another interesting
feature in this chain of mines, and add
their quota to the general product. 1t is
the intention of this company to erect a
concentrating mill near the town of
| Ophir, in the spring, to handle their low
grade ores, and several other improve
ments that will conduce to the easy work.
| ing OF the mines are contemplated.
The Hidden Treasure mine is coming
to the front again as an ore producer, and
bids fair to gain its old precedence among
the mines OF Dry Canyon. This prop
erty is worked under lease by Messrs.
Liddell & Talbot, who employ from fifteen
to twenty men. The ore body recently
opened in the lower workings of the mine
shows from four to six feet in thickness,
and the mine is producing about ninety
tons per month. The bad roads have
greatly retarded the shipments OF ore,
and the recent storms have made them
almost impossible.
Tolman & Co. are working Il small
force Of men on the Brooklyn mine, and
make regular shipments OF about 35 tons
per month.
Higson & Co. are working the Rather
mine, doing considerable development
work and getting ready for spring ship
ments.
Taking them as whole, the mines o.
Ophir and Dry Canyon are looking bette
than they have at any time for years, ant
nothing short OF n heavy tumble in tn,
price of lead will keep from coming t.
the front this season.
