Our Government is paying the British
Cunard Company $4,000 and the North
German Lloyd Company $4,000 year
for Transporting our European mails. We
think the Boston Journal is historically
correct when it says that lit was JEFF Da-
Wis who, as Senator of the United States,
inaugurated the policy which has resulted
in turning our ocean mail service almost
wholly over to foreigners, and his politi-
cal heirs are carrying his policy out with
zeal and sdelity.

Epilepsy in IA Mild Form.

Men have been known to do some very
queer thing while suffering from epilepsy in
a mild form. A well known amateur ath-
lete made surprising record once while
unconsciously distressed with the disease.
A pressure on the brain, the result Of
blow, has been known to partially relieve
the victim Of his senses, and the doctors re-
manned i'll ignorance Of the cause. There
may not lie any indication on the outside of
the skull of a fracture, but the inner tablet

of the kind q sort of unconscious condition
is produced, the same as in epilepsy, but it
will be much longer continued and disap-
pear only when the injured portion has been
treuanned Chicago l-erald.

The Temperance Men of New Jersey.

The Rev. A. +. Ballard vice-pre sident
of the New Jersey Temperance Alliance,
has written an address to the temperance
voters of this State, in which he express
es satisfaction with the good results ac-
complished under the Iligh-License law of
last winter, and points to the bitter hos
tility of the liquor men to the measure.
After referring to the efforts that may be
made next winter to repeal the law, if
the liquor men can control the Legislature,
he says:
A vote cast for candidate who will be
sent there to repeal the law is vote
against the cause of temperance. 4 vote
cast for candidate who may be pledged
to support the law, but who has no reas-
enable prospect of an election, when
there is another candidate pledged in the
same way, who could probably be elected
by union of temperance votes in his
favor, is a half vote against temperance
and in favor of the liquor traffic. 4 clear
vote for man so pledged, who has a
probability of election, is a clear vote for
temperance advance and against the liquor
traffic. The Temperance Alliance policy
has always been to sustain any candidate
or any law which looked towards progress
in the direction of its principles.

No analysis will fit the play, it is simply
4 wildly ~laughable concert, a play upon
the too prevalent American, hankering
after the glamor of a title of nobility, but
the absurd situations that it brings out,
coupled with the talents of each member
of the company, make it as clever and
amusing a piece of stage work as one could
ask for.
Fred Hallen and Joe Hart are young
men, but their ability to amuse seems un-
limited. They are especially clever in
their specialties; both sing well and their
parts, in stage vernacular, are fiat" to a
degree.
The ladies of the company are all pretty
and sprightly; have good voices and know
how to use them to advantage. Later On
will be given again tonight, and for the
last time at the matinee tomorrow.
People who enjoy a hearty laugh-and
preserve US from those who don't-will
not miss seeing those clever ladies and
gentlemen and this awfullY funny play.

CORONER'S INQUEST.
Jury in the Vannice Murder Case
Returns a Verdict.
The Terrible Case lust as Mysteri,
GUS as Ever.
The Sheriff is Still Out, but No Trace
of the Man.

Aside from the completion of the cor
oner's% inqulsition over the remains Of the
unfortunate man there is really nothing
new in the terrible and mysterious Van
nice case. OF course the theorists are at
work and clues hat vanish into nothing
ness are as prevalent as foundationless
minors. 1t is now generally believed that
the murderer fed to the eastward and is
in Iowa by this time. though it is Just as
likely that he is nearing Salt Lake.
Deputy Sheriff Moore returned empty
handed from the north last night, having
searched ~assiduously, but without success.
Sheriff Sharpless is still in the field and
it is said hat one or two other officers are
on the hunt for the villainous assassin.
The excitement has in a measur sub
sided, but il the murderer were captured
ever at this late day it is more than prob
able that his worthless carcass would
soon dangle from an ilnprovised scatfold.
Deceased was an upright, conscientious
man, who did not make a single enemy
during his residence in the city.
At the inquest yesterday the bundle
found in the well was positively identified
by Ira L. Fredendall as the one carried by
a tramp whom he had elected from a car
in the morning of the day of the murder.
Mrs. Ashenfelter and Louis Vannice
thought the bundle the same one carried
by the tramp who made away with the
money. Mrs, Ashenfelter saw the man
enter and leave the house.
The text of the verdict returned is APP
pended:
We, the jury in the foregoing case. do
find from the evidence that deceased. Will
liam j. Vannice, came to his death from
a gun-shot wound IN the left side of his
head, fired by some person whose name is
to the Jury unknown, and in our opinion
the man who fired the shot was the one
who was seen at the house of deceased on
the morning of December 9th.
