The question Of how to empty a sta
bic full of horses in case of a fire, to
a v the lives of the animals, is one of
great interest to owners of horses.
That certainly must be a grand inven-
ton that an electrical company lately
placed on trial in New York. In the
principal alleyway leading into the
stable is placed a wheel about three
feet in diameter, which is connected
by shafts with the stalls. A heavy
weight is suspended from the circum-
ference Of the wheel. Delicate Their
mostats placed about the ceiling of the
stable are arranged so that 4 very
slight increase of temperature will by
expansion complete an electrical cir
cult that will loosen the weight sus-
pended from the wheel, and thus set
the machinery in motion. A bell
rings; the bolts of the stall are drawn,
the halters Of the horses are loosened.
and lastly a double stream OF water
will be thrown into the face of each
horse from two jets placed over the
head Of the stall. The effect of this
shower bath will be to cause the
horse to back out of his stall. He will
find himself free, the doors of the stall
and the stable open, and in his fright
at the fire, and the unusual commotion
naturally secure his own safety.

AN INCIDENT III THE CAREER OF n
LATE JUDGE LONGrEAR.

Il remember a very laughable case
arising on the criminal side of the
United States Circuit Court a good
many years ago, and which l never can
forget" said one Of the veterans of the
Detroit bar to An interested audience
a day or two since. IAN intelligent
man, thirty years old, was charged with
q serious Offense, and a number of in
huential friends had interceded with
Judge Longyear in the prisoners be-
half, setting forth his previous good
conduct. Judge Longyear said he
would see about it, and asked to have
the prisoner brought into court.
1.-The judge questioned the fellow
IN MS homely way as to his antece-
dents and past history and received
noInlng but favorable replies. The
young man had never been in tronble
before, he said, was of q good family.

more out of ignorance of the law than
anything else. :

HERE'S RICHNESS.

number of active real estate men
urge through our morning coLtempo-
rary, and the paper endorses the prop
osition, that Salt Lake papers and
people do as the press and people OF
Denver do to boom the city; that moth
ing of an unfavorable character be
published, and only praises be sung.
The paper says "there were 1000 cases
of typhoid in Denver last fall,
but nothing about it was allowed
in the local papers. There was
smallpox epidemic in the same
town not long ago, but no word Or
warning appeared in print. The Den
YER sewer system has proven failure
but no mention of it is made by the
press" Our contemporary is daily
scolding the City Council for not ORDER
ing the commencement of work on the
sewers for this city; in the article
from which the above is quoted, it
says: "Spread it from Dan TO
Beersheba that sewers have been or
dered in Salt Lake City," etc.
Now, with all respect for the real
estate men who are quoted, and for
our morning contemporary, HE
HERALD doesn't want to see any
booming of the character suggested,
and especially is itopposed to the sewer
booming proposed, if the sewers are to
become he those of Denver, "a fail
ure." We have had Denver held before
our eyes as a rich, prosperous and pro-
gressiVe city, because Of its sewers, ana
have been told right along that Salt
Lake was the most unhealthy city on the
continent because it had no sewers;
and it is published that Denver had
1000 cases of typhoid last fall, which is
more of the disease than Salt Lake has
had for decade.
Another thing may be mentioned
here: The sewer system which has
BEEN adopted for this city is the same as
that which has proven failure IN
Denver; the plans were drawn by the
engineer who drew the plans and put
in the Denver sewers; and Denver is
much more eligibly located for success
full sewerage than Salt Lake, both in
the matter of grades and the facilities
for dysposing Eof the sewage. If the
Denver sewer system is failure, will
the same system be success in Salt
Lake? With the Denver failure before
us, ought We to go ahead and construct
q failure aIso2 The inference is that
"active real estate men" and
our contempory will say yes,
spend the money. make the fail
ure, and then keep quiet
about it, being careful to let no stranger
with money know that we have 9th. r
than magnificent sewer system and a
healthy city, though the sewers cause
an epidemic of typhoid.
THE HERALD wants sewers; it wants
progress; it desires immigration and
an influx OF capital it is especially de-
sirous that there should be stop put to
the slandsrous and alarming publica-
lions concerning Salt Lake and Utah
but The HERALD does not and will not
consent to a boom ta3ed on false pre-
lenses, on Misrepresentation, on fraud
or on the suppression of the truth.

A SHAMED PEOPLE.

When the good people of Idaho and
there are many good people IN our
neighbor Territory-read of the doings
of their representatives in the Legisla-
ture, what must be their sensations?
Not very pleasant, We imagine. How
deeply chsgrined and mortified an hon
est, intelligent citizen must be when he
sees a man whom he delegated to make
laws for the commonwealth turn out to
be a blatherskite and bIackguard, de-
void of principle, lacking in intelligence
and wanting in ordinary self--espect!
The citizen must feel that his own iudg-
ment was bad, that his knowledge of
men was limited or that he was duped
by fraud and misrepresentation. He
must also blush for the community.
It has been published, and the state
ment is probably true, that scrubbier
gang of men never assembled in a
legislative capacity than tbs majority
of those making up the Idaho House.
MANY of them seem to be born scrubs
and others are plugs by instinct, incll-
nation and training. Apparently they
have no clearer conception of the duties
and responsibilities of Lawmakers,
than a razor-back hog has of parIor
etiouette, and in the House they are
about as much out of place as the hog
would be in the parlor. We
c,unot help feeling Of commiseratio
for the voters of Idaho, although we
know they are responsible for the
shame which afflicts Them when they
think Of their representatives. The
voters had tin their power to electro

The Cat Coming to tie Front.

New Workers, with few exceptions, have
always INDUCED in an extravagant deIu-
sion to the effect that the backyard is the
principal stamping ground and favorite
habitation of the cat. Long experience
has taught me, however, that this is q
most grievous error. Years ago such
might have been the case; but today the
cat seems to invariably prefer the front
balcony, the stoop or the area way, to the
painfully spiked fences and insecure ali
anthus trees Of the yards, while the casual
pedestrian seems to be Of greater interest,
and IS certainly less offensive to his tirnid
nature than the doings Of the cross kitchen
maid or the deueanor Of the ever snarlin 2
watch deg. Besides, there are more deli
cacies to be found in the refuse barrel
that stands on the curb awaiting the ar
rival Of the ashman every evening than
an entire nights foraging expedition OF
the yards would produce. In addition to
this, the cat has learned that old gentle
men are not SO apt to hurl missiles pro-
miscuously through the front windows as
through the back, or children to practice
with air guns and other Instruments of
warfare. And SO g. general transition has
taken place among sthe feline race, much
to the qualification Of the owners Of back
windows, and the discomfort Of those who
live in front.-John Preston Beecber IN

That arm is much more worthy Of at
