A Statesman's Apt Reply.

A Swedish statesman recently in
weighed most eloquently in parliament
against oleomargarine. Next evening he
was invited to dine with the king, who
loves joke. There was only oleomar-
garine on the royal table and the states
man literally partook thereof.
At the close of the meal the king asked
him: swell, sir, how do you like oul
butter?"
sit is excellent" replied the states
man; "the contrast between it and arti-
fetal butter is very marked"
"But, y said the king, ''that is artificial
butter!"
The other guests roared with laughter,
but the "old parliamentary hand" re-
turned, quick as flash:
"Your majesty, if one can be deceived
SO easily there is all the more need of
strict laws against bogus goods. LON

Chemical Sugar.

1t is pretty generally known that chem
lists can produce in their laboratory from
rags a substance very similar to sugar and
having the same sweetening properties.
says the st. Louis Republic. The Ger
mans are, however, hard at work trying to
produce artificial sugar on a large scale.
and although its production for practical
purposes has not yet been realized, consid-
cradle advancement has been made and
many steps taken toward ultimate sue
cess.
Herr EMIL Fisher has succeeded in
obtaining true sugar, which will undergo
alcoholic fermentation when yeast is aD-
piled, just like ordinary sugar There is
only one thing wanting in this new chemi-
cal product, otherwise it does not differ
from the natural product, and that is that
it is OFFICIALLY inactive-it will not rotate a
single beam of polarized light either to the
right or the left.
Glycerine, that sweet anchor of so many
recent Investigations, is the starting point
in the preparation of lacrosse as the new
product is called, and which must not be
COMPOUNDED with saccharine, which is not a
sugar and can never take the place of
sugar as an article of diet. The discover
ers of acrose are sanguine of making a
perfect sugar at no distant day, and their
work is being watched with interest. not
only by the scientific world. but by the in
-dustrlal and commercial world as well.

Eleven Hundred Bars of Bullion

Lawrence Green and George Phillips
were in Challis Friday night, from Willow
Greek Divide. From Mr. Green. one OF
the owners in the Clayton Mining and
Smelling company, we learn that the com
pany has on the road to Ketchum and un
'ders his charge over eleven hundred
bars of bullion-about sixty tons-and that
he expected to be able to deliver it at
ketchum in about month He has nine
men and eight four-horse teams engaged in
moving it, and had nearly all the bullion on
the Willow Greek Divide at the ime he
was in Challis. From there he will move
1T all to Dickey's-going over the road as
often as it is necessary to do so-where it
will all be unloaded. From there to River
side, in like manner; then to North Fork.
then to the Summit, then to the foot of the
big grade ION sleighs if possible; if not
on raw-hides). then to Ketchum. He ex-
poets and intends, with this large force of
men and teams and by making short hauls
and doubling the road SO frequently, to de-
liver that bullion-no matter with what
quantity of snow or blockades he has to
.contend.-Er.

The fourth act is laid in Scarpia's palace.
The regent sends for La Tosca and tells her
that her lover has been sentenced to be shot
i'll the morning, but if La Tosca will accept
his caresses he will save Mario's life and give
the lovers passport to the frontier. He
says, however, that in order TO apparently
obey orders he will have the soldiers muskets
loaded with blank cartridges. They will fire
at Mario, who must fall and feigh death. La
Tosca. overpowered by her love for Mario,
consents. Scarpia places his arm around her,
but she reyolts from his caresses. Notwith-
standing her promises, she seizes knife and
stabs him to the heart aus s.,.s.... III
In the fifth act the murder of Scarpia is
still undiscovered. La Tosca tells the cap
tain of the guard that she has reformed her
part of the engagement, and that he must
carry out Scarpia's orders about the feigned
execution and escape Mario Cavaradossi is
led out, and the soldiers fire. He falls. Tho
soldiers retire. leaving La Tosca alone with
the body. She exclaims:

Business Affairs Resuming Their Normal
Tone-A Big Shipment of
Idaho Bullion.

The campaign is now virtually over, and
we may expect business to once more re-
sumo its normal tone. Political schemes
have been succeeded by business schemes,
and each individual who has the good and
welfare of the city at heart is glad the ex-
citement reigning for three months past is
over, and we are once more getting down
to business. One of the most gratifying
occurrences of the week just past was the
Inauguration of another banking venture.
This institution is composed entirely of
home people. 1t will commence business on
or about April LIST. There are now nine banks
in Salt Lake city; the one above men
toned, and those to be opened in the En-
porium building and the Progress building
will make an even dozen.
Business generally during the week has
been very fair, and there is every reason
to believe that it will continue to increase

Lead and Silver.

Our advices from New York are to the
effect that the lead market has remained in
an almost stagnant state during the whole
week, the total transactions amounting to
only few hundred tons. Owing to the
fact that no lead is actually pressing on
the market, prices have been pretty well
sustained, which, considering the very
limited business doing, could not otherwise
have been the case. 1t is understood that
negotiations continue for the consolidation
of the lead smelling works.
In ST. Louis, there have been no develop.
ments of positive type to influence values
OF lead since our last report. Buyers have
no trouble In buying all the common lead
wanted, and there seems to be but little
desire to trade in futures.
In Chicago, the market through the week
has been fairly steady, and very little lead
is being offered on account of scarcity of
material.
In Salt Lake, the metal opened on Mon
day at $3.50, and closed at 1915 last even
ing.

Short Story Of the Plot.

Victorien Sardou's play, LA Tosca," Is
said to be the great masters masterpiece. In
Paris, when, in 1887, Sara Bernhardt took
the title role of Floria Tosca at its first pro
duction, the critics went wild over it. Their
enthusiasm was immense; their praise unlim-
tied. But when, nearly year later, Fanny
Davenport produced it in New York CITY.
the American press assailed the play with as
great vigor as had been displayed by the
Frenchmen in praising it. 1t was indecent.

The Alice.

Not sale of Alice was made during the
week. In fact, very little has changed
hands of late. Bids are slightly lower than
they were week ago, but there is large
demand for the stock at the low figures, say
81 to 10. AS time passes, traders in
creasingly wonder why no report of the
proceedings of the annual meeting of the
stockholders in Salt Lake city, on January
l4tb, has yet been received. There have
been vague rumors that during January
the mine has not done as well as was ex-
pected, but an official statement of the
actual condition of the property at the tine
of the annual meeting, as well as the fnan-
cial status OF the company, which stock
holders have certainly right to know, has
not been forthcoming. Even if the present
management does control very large ma
jority of the company's capital stock. it
should be remembered that the minority
has some rights which the majority is
bound to respect, and that even the small
est stockholder has a right to know what
is being done with his property.-Nc,o YORK.
