A DISHONEST r-RACTICE

The HERALD h As been informed of in
stances where + al estate agents have pro
tested with che owners that the prices
asked Tor certain pieces of property were
outrage >ousiy high. and that to demand the
ngu' .es would be TO brighten intending
o 4yers away and materially depress the
real estate business. The price being in
sisted upon, however, the commission was
agreed to and the agent has gone off to sell,
and in the course of time it has TRANSFERRED
that the negotiator who made such an
ado about the extraordinary price added
ten or fifteen per cent, to the own
er's figures. Whether or not the
extra money, in the event of
sale. would be handed over to the owner
cannot be told. but the inference is that it
would not, the agent pocketing that along
with his commission. There is reason to
believe that some sales at fair prices have
been prevented by this greedy course, the
agents being among those who are loudest
in declaring that real estate prices in Salt
Lake are ruinously high. The way for
owners to prevent this sort of swindling,
for it is neither more nor less than that, is
to name their price frankly to inquirers,
and intending purchasers would do well to
learn from the owners as well as the agents,
the price Of the land they propose TO buy. If
the agent thinks he can get more for
property than the owner asks, it is his
privilege to purchase speculatively. buo it is
not his privilege, nor is it honest, TO ask
more than the proprietor commissions him

AN UGLY PRECEDENT.

Nobody will regret that Deputy Marshal
NAGLE, the man who shot Judge TERRY a
few weeks ago, has been released. All over
the nation the act of the officer was ap
plauded, everybody seeming to believe that
it was NAGLE'S promptneSs which saved the
life of Justice FIELD. There is not right
thinking man in the country who will say
that the deputy should be punished for
what he did.
At the same time there are good many
who will never be able to bring themselves
to believe that the case was properly before
Judge SAwYERs. 1t was not q United States
case, and the government rightfuliy had
nothing to do with the defendant. The
deed was committed in sovereign state,
and one which was abundantly able to do
Justice in the case. There had been no
failure on the part of California to proceed
regularly in the matter, and there was
neither indication nor probability of fail
ure of the law. NAGIE would certainly
have been acquitted in the state courts, for
no Jury could have been found to declare
him guilty. Under the circumstances it
was peculiar proceeding, to say the
least, to take the defendant into the
United States court, and Judge SAW
YER's decision was equally peculiar.
The entire proceeding is not only sugges-
tive, but an actual assumption of authority
by the federal tribunal which will not be
relished by the great body of American
people who think that states which are able
to maintain their constitutions and enforce
the laws ought to be supreme as to their
local affairs. If Judge SAWYER had the
right to take NAGLE from the state author
tiles and set him free, he would have an
equal right to turn deputy loose who had
stolen sheep or robbed a hen-roost. The
| fact that NAGLE was a United States of
fetal cut no figure in the case, and could
not legitimately be taken into account. If
the proceedings shall be held to be good
law, of what use are state lines, and why
are thirty -eight commonwealth maintain
ing separate and distinct governments.
Deputy NAGLE is entitled to his liberty,
but it is to be regretted that he obtained
his freedom i'll the manner he did.

TOO EAGER.

The women of Washington territory are
entirely too eager for the ballot that is to
say, some of them are. 1t is provided in
the new state const lution that an amend
ment granting suffrage to the sex shall be
voted on, but this is not satisfactory to the
real strong minded ladies. They cannot
wait. nor do they seem to have confidence
in the generosity or justice of their hus-
bands, fathers and brothers. The women
are said to be organizing in every county
and town, and on election day they
will 90 to the polls and offer
their votes They do not propose to en-
ploy violence, and will not kick up row if
their votes should be refused, but they are
pledging themselves to carry the matter
into the courts and m axe amost determined
fight to have themselves declared American
citizens. The dear creatures should be
patient yet little longer, and employ the
persuasion of love rather than that of
the law. to induce the men of Washington
to admit them to the rights and privileges
of citizenship. If the Washington women
cannot coax the men of the new state to
adopt the suffrage amendments, our sisters
in the northwest are not as lovable as they
should be-that's all. This eagerness, we
fear will tend to disgust the men, and a
man once disguised with woman is the
most cruel and unaccommodating wretch
imaginable.

THE REPUBLICANS are doing their utmost
TO carry Montana at the election next
month, but the Democrats seem to be hay
ing everything their own way. The Demo
cratic majority is estimated at 5000 on the
state and congressional ticket, while the
party will have control of the legislature
beyond a Ieradventure. It is a fortunate
circumstance for Montana that the Repub-
licans carried Montana last fall by a large
majority, as otherwise the territory would

AFifty Thousand Dollar Mission.

Mr.. Arthur L. Shumway, a well-mown
American newspaper correspondent, writing
in the Christian Union in answer to the
criticisms on missionaries, which have re-
Gently appeared in the Atlantic Monthly,
says: How shall I separate from large
number Of similarly conspicuous proofs OF
the worth of missionaries, some single rem
iniscence that will serve to vindicate my
own respect for the class Of people behttled
by Mr.. House? -
Zone day as I was walking the streets Of
Canton, China, with Mr.. Charles Seymour,
our American Consul General In that city,
we met and passed quiet modest-mannered
man On his way into the city. SAID MI.
aDo you see that man yonder?" pointing in
the direction Of the receding stranger.
Iassented, and he continued: -
THAT is Dr.. Kerr. He is in charge OF the
great missionary hospital ycnder. The hos
pital was founded in 1887, and has already
treated three-quarters of a million cases I
believe. consider that he is the peer Of any
living surgeon in tho world today. To my
personal knowledge he undertakes almost
daily. cases which our most distinguished
surgeons at home do not dare attempt, even
in Philadelphia, the medical capital Of
our country I suppose that humble
man might just as well as not
be enjoying an income of from $5o0oo to
$4,000 year, instead CT his present small
salary, if he was only practising in the city
of New York on his own account. And l
suppose he knowns it, too"
And when he afterward passed through
the hospital, inspected the photographs OF
operations already performed, and viewed
the array of deformfties to be treated that
afternoon, I could not doubt that what he
had said was literally true. s.

Abandoning the Case.

When the Parnell Commission resumed its
sitting on the morning after the ABOVE olS-
closures, Attorney-General Webster an
nounced that Pigott had written to Mr..
Shannon from Paris. The letter was read IN
court. It contained the same confession that
Sir Charles Russell read the previous day.
Pigott acknowledged that he forged the
fac -simile printed by the Times and the other
letters. He admitted that he fabricated the
letters which he said ho found in bag, and
describes the process by which ne dld u. he
rsed genu ne letters OF Parneirs and Egan's,
copying closely several words OF general
character, and tracing The actual writing oy
holding the letters up against window and
following line for line. The second batch OF
Parnelrs letters he initiated from fac-simi e.
In conclusion, Pigott says that Mr.. La
bouchere's account of the interview between
Pigott and himself is mainly correct.
After PiCott's letter had been read Attor-
ney General Webster said
Nobody will attach any weight to Pig
otis evidence. 1t is now our duty 10 ask
leave to withdraw from considering the gen.
the Times desire to express their regret for
the publication of them, and will little later
give fuller manifestations of regret over the
matter"
Mir. Parnell took tho witness stand and de-
MED the eenuneness of the letters alleged to
have been signed by himself and addressed to
Egan. He had dictated to Mr.. Campbell q
letter regarding his desire to have au inter
view with Figott. This letter was evidently
the one from which limitations were made.
After Mr.. Parnells testimony the Com
mission adjourned.
The London Times has withdrawn its ad-
yertisement of the pamphlets "Parnellism
and Crime" and "O'Donnsll versus Walters "
Applicants for the pamphlets are informed
that they are ''out of print"

Tricks of Ticket Takers.

There was q man talking the other day
about the tricks practiced by ticket SELL
ers and ticket takers who were in col
lusicn to stgo suooks." Their idea is to
get the collected tickets back to the
ticket seller so that they can be sold twice
and accounted for but once, the extra
money making up the ''Snooks." 10
do this undetected the tricks are en-
ployed. Out at Chelteaham Beach once,
said, the man, one of ticket sellers had
by the side of his big tin box huge cot
ton umbrella. Every once in awhile no
would slip ticket or two into the ca
pac;ous nav of the umbrella, dropping
the rest in the box where they be-
longed. This worked successfully, and
at lunch time the tickets were slipped
back to the ticket seller, who was IN
with the deal, and resold to the profit of
both. Late in the afternoon it began to
rain. One of the managers had occasion
to run outside of the gate. He saw the
umbrella by the ticket takers side and
grabbed it, saying: "Ill return you this
in a moment AS he opened it shower
of tickets fell to the ground, and the
trlCk was tuuS aCC.oou1a'Ay SAPo'
is perhaps unnecessary to state that the
ticket taker was at once relieved from
duty. Years ago, out at the West Side
Driving Park, certain gate keeper used
to take a sandw ch in to certa Il ticket
seller at frequent intervals. This mans
appetite was apparently so enormous
that he attracted attention. One day the
ticket seller was waylaid and four tickets
were found, carefully placed between
the slices of ham and bread. Some days
later suspected ticket taker was
searched for tickets held out. Nothing
was found in his clothes, and he was at
last requested to pull OF the heavy boots
he always wore. lie did so, reluctantly,
and a shower of tickets fell to the
ground. There are, truly, tricks in oil

Wonderful Memories for d ,siness.

Phil Armour, the great Chicago pork
packer, is said to have remarked that a
gool memory is neces AIRY to one VINO
wishes to succeed. This is, pcrh1ps, a
trifle strong. and yet there is no lack OF
evidence to support the statement. Ar
mour himself is an example of what
good memory can do. He is as wonder
full in his time as Cardinal Mczzofanti
was in his. lie is said to carry the
smallest detail of his immense business
in his head. He eau remember the date
of small as we'll as large business trans
actions. He knows the names of pretty
nearly all of his army OF employees.

great establishment in Chicago he as
tonished circle of friends by rattling
oThard the number Of bricks, carloaos
of sand, feet OF timber, etc, that were
used in the obstruction. Armours gltt
is natural one. He has never culti-
waited it, but the demands of his busi-
ness have unqus,tionably kept his
powers of memory in active training.
"Old Hutch" as the imperturbable
Chicago wheat manipulation is called, is
another mau gifted with an extraordl-
nary memory. I He needs no books to
carry his tra' actions in, although of
course, he uses them. With him. too,
retentiveness is a natural gift. He re-
members everything that he wants to
remember. but says frankly he doesn't
know how he does it. lie also possesses
the gift of not remembering things he
does not wish to remember. But then
that gift is not rare. Kansas City

strange noise of pecking at the window,
and when she got up she saw butterfly hy-
ing backwards and forwards inside the win

was sparrow pecling at the glass, wanting
to reach tho butterfly. The butterfly did not
see the glass, but it saw the sparrow, and
evidently expected every moment to be
caught. Neither did the sparrow see the
glass, though it saw the butterfly, which
because of the thin sheet Of glass, was ac-
