famous original and only John Crocker.
Mr.. Croker is known to fame as the
Liberal voter who was puzzled whether
to vote at the city hall or the county court
house, owing to his having resided at in
tervals so nearly equal at both places. He
is sixty years of age, and looks all Of
seventy-fve; he is given to wandering
about town with an old cane, but is-most
generally to be found about the Wasatch
corner or the sunny side of Second South
street, he is a miner from way back, and
man of decided intelligence, but is now
bent and rather shaky from wear, tear and
hard usage. He says he was one of the
original locators of the Eureka mine, and
affirms the time was when he came out of
Little Cottonwood with s4O0, 900 in his pos
session. He was born in Massachusetts,
and first came to Utah thirty-six years ago.
Mr. Crocker lent a willing ear to THE
HERALD mans story; when he was told
that Dr. Benedict would undertake the
operation, that he would be benefiting the
cause of science and that he would receive
a present himself, any scruples he may
have possessed were removed. Whether
there was any lingering expectation of his
becoming reiuvenated by the operation he
did not say.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon, all the
parties met by agreement in the big airy
press room of THE HERALD building. Just
half an hour previously the lamb had been
killed, and one of its most vital sex

ARC LIGHT AT LAST.

When the council voted that Clerk Leahy
read the minutes Of the session of August G.
several Of the gentleman of the council were
mad because those minutes revealed the fact
that the gas committee had reported in favor
Of arc light and Of the city owning its own
plant if feasible, and that through the objec-
ton Of Messrs Dinneen and Armstrong, con-
sideration of the report had been deferred
until next regular meeting
Mr. Alshuler moved that the report of the
committee for Aug 6 be accepted and Mr..
Duffy seconded.
Mr.. Armstrong objected to the report be
cause il adopted it would bar out all other
systems Of lighting except the arc light and
il might be'possible that bids much lower in
price would be received from the proprietor
of some other lighting system.
Mr.. Alshuer wanted to know what the
gentleman was kicking about. IL the coun-
Gil wanted arc lights it could vote in favor
Of the report, if it didn't it could vote it
down. That was all there was to it.
Mr.. Maher said that the gas committee,
of which he is a member, had another report
to offer which would dispose Of the entire
question at once.
Mr.. Porter: also Of the gas committe, said
chat the report had not been examined by
him and he could not recognize it as a re-
port.
Mr.. Armstrong said that he did not know
what the report contained but he wanted il
read if it would throw any light upon the
question at issue.
Mr.. M aher only wanted the proper sues-
ton. He thought that this last report was
proper. The committee had made reports
from time to time during the past three
months and If the report of Aug. 6 was to be
taken up why not take up all reports and
dispose of them.
Mr.. Dinneen also raised his protest against
the report Of Aug, 8.
Mr.. Armstrong wanted the last report
read. not as report but merely as q
paper, for the information of the council.

Female Beauty.

1t is fortunate thing that all men dc
not have the same taste In female beauty,
for otherwise they would all fall In love
with the same woman, which would be
awkward. Although the preference of
the men for different style of form and
feature vary greatly, 1t is undoubtedly, a
fact that an appearance indicative of health
is pleasing to all alike. A woman may be
without regular features, yet if healthy,
she will be beautiful TO some ore and
pleasing to all. A sallow complexion, a
dull eye, system debllitated by unnatural
discharges in short, all the ills dependent
upon the Irregularities and weaknesses"
peculiar to the sex can be banished by the

rs, and to change the motion so that the
com mit,ee, instead Of the clerk, should have
the matter in charge.
Mr. Porter said that the committee was in
possession of specifications used by different
cities and with the aid Of Mr.. Huntington
could draw up q set Of specifications in very
short order.
Mr. Armstrong moved, as a substitute for
Mr.. Alshuler's motion, that the gas commit,
tee be instructed to advertise for bids for an
eighty light arc plant and submit specifca-
tons to bidders, it being understood tina;
City Engineer Huntington, of Aurora, should
assist in preparing specifications.
The motion in this form, prevailed unani-
mous!y.
Mr. Corcoran moved that when the coun.
Gil adjourn, it adjourn to Thursday evening.
Carried,
Mr.. Armstrong stated that the ordinance
on contracts, which Mr.. Hull wished
abridged, had not been attended to because
City Attorney Madden did not understand
that 1t was to come up at this meeting.
The city attorney reported on the duties
and powers of the mayor and aldermen
The report was very lengthy, but the gist of
it is that neither the mayor or any of the al
dermen have power to make contracts or
hire or discharge men, but that all contracts
must be made and all hiring of men con-
trolled by proper officers appointed by tie
council as body, the Mayor having the u.s.
ual veto power This decision, if it is not
ignored, will create the office of Sidewalk
Commissioner, Park Commissioner, Sewer,
age Commissioner, etc, in addition to the
Office of street supervisor, now existing.
On motion of Dir. Taylor, the city clerk was
instructed to advertise for bids, to be sub
mitted in FIVE days, for the laying of a six
foot tile walk on the north side of Washing
ton Park, the contract to be let to the lowest
responsible bidder.
After ordering the publication of the Au::
gust payroll, the council adjourned to last
evening.

Through the presence OF mind of one the
passengers, who pulled the bell rope just
in time, a serious catastrophe was averted
az Peru on Thursday, when the vestibuled
train on the Rock Island ran off the track.
The first sleeper was the only car that was
badly smashed up. The front end collided
with car of coal standing on the side
track; the result being that the windows
and woodwork were broken and splintered,
and the first two berths filled with huge
chunks of coal. Had there been any occu-
pant there at the time, he must surely
have been killed instantly; but the gentle
man who had occupied the berth had luck
lily just left it a few minutes before the
crash came.
