appointment. And now let US inform our
disgruntled contemporary that the move
ment did not originate with Mormons 1t
was started by Gentiles. and the petition
ers include many of the leading Gentle
patrons Of the Union Pacific, as well as
foremost business firms among the
Mormons. We do not believe the
question of the gentleman's religion
ever entered the head of one of the
signers, and we doubt that 5 per cent of
the slgners can say to-day whether or not
Mr.. RUMEL is Mormon THE HERALD
does not know, and does not propose to in
qulre, Tor the matter concerns neither us
nor the public i'll this connection. This we
do know, however, that the Mormon
church has had absolutely nothing to do
With the case; if any prominent Mormon
did so much as to sign the request for the
appointment, land we cannot say that one
leading Mormon did sign) he did so be-
cause he believed that Mr.. RuMEL was the
best man for the place, and not
because the gentleman named was d
Mormon. No Mormon, prominent or
otherwise, has ever asked THE HERALD to
espouse the cause of Mr.. RUMEl, aad in
the little that has been said in this paper
Oh the subject the writer n6ver even
thought whether or not MIR. RuMEL was a
member Of the Mormon church.
We have believed the appointment would
be good enc for the city and territory,
and a wise one for the railroad company,
and because Of this have advocated it. The
patrons Of the road, without regard to
religion or politics, lave asked it, and as
suming that they knew what they wanted
TIRE HERALD has seconded them. The
gentleman is qualified for the performance
of tie duties, ard this being admitted
what else is there to recommend hims He
is popular in tie community and the big
gest patrons of the road and the majority
of them desire his appointment. These
things have been all pointed out, and if the
question has not been asked, we will ask it
now, can the company which is seeking
business and is in direct competition with
other carriers, afford to ignore a commun-
ity request which was made in good faith
and with the hest interests Of the people
and OF the company a. heart. 1t is not a
question Of religion, Of bulldczing, of poll
tics, OF dictation, or anything of the kind,
but is q matter OF business which has been
presented and urged in u business-like
way. Our contemporary is trying to bring
religion into The controversy, having first
created a controversy where none was
ever intended, but the Union Pacific man
ayers should understand the Tribune by
this time.

present population or future prospects
Both New Mexico and Arizona, neither of
which stands ghost of a chance to be adj
mitted by the present Congress, are
much better entitled t. admission
from any standpoint but the partisan
one. But New Mexico and Arizona are
Democratic politically and that settles the
business for them. They can stay out in
the cold indefinitely while the Republicans
control the national government.
1.-THE result of the late municipal cleo
tions in some of the Republican cities of
the west indicate, however, that the Re
publicans in Congress can't admit Repub-
lican states fast enough to make good the
losses they are likely to meet in some of
the old Republican states. 1t will take
several pocket states like Nevada and
Idaho to make good the loss of Illinois and
Wisconsin, both of which seem to be abcnt
ready to be added to the Democratic
column"

TAMAGNo, THE Italian tenor, has eXer-
eised a virtue in such way as to come in
for lot of very severe abuse. The singer
receives s., 600 night, and it has been dis
covered that instead of spending his money
with some degree of generosity, he lives
m.eanig, buys cheap meals at low Italian
restaurants in New York, washes and
dries his handkerchiefs and socks in his
room at the hotel, and actually pays out
less for living than the American citizen
who receives only half as much money for
a years work as TAMAGNo gets for one
nights singing. People praise economy as
virtue, and yet one of its chief opponents
in the person of this sweet-voced Italian,
is being severely scored by the New York
papers, and by the play people.

THE RETURNS from the spring elections
in New York seem to be entirely salts
1actory-to the Democrats. Last year the
Democrats held 1888 towns and wards to

the Republicans have been reduced to SIS.
There are ten counties in which elections
are to be held this month, and in these the

The Philadelphia Times, from its indie
pendent position, can afford to be truth
fully severe in its comments on political
actions. 1t hits the Republicans hard in
the following editorial under the above
heading: ''The Republicans of the House
concluded yesterday that Idaho could be
trusted to furnish Republican Congress-
man and two Republican United States
Senators, thus increasing the Republican
majority in both Houses, besides adding
three electoral votes to the Republican col

ScHwEINFURTH, THE Illinois crank who
insists that he is CHRIST, is not displaying
divine wisdom. He recently said of the
newspaper reporters: ''They are the
damnablest blackguards of hell, and the
hour of their retribution is at hand. AT a
moment when they wot not the mouth Of
an everlasting perdition will open, into
the yawring abyss of which they will be
plunged to gnash their teeth and send up
walls Of anguish throughout all eternity
The Savior never spoke in such vein, and
He never slapdered and scandaiized the
brightest and best people of His time. If
the reporters do not get into heaven there
are good many other people who will
want to change quarters and dwell with
the bright and busy boys who make life SO
pleasant for the good and so uncomfortable
for the bad. SCHwEINFURTH is manifestly
a humbug.

THE RUMEL BUSINESS.

Our unesteemcd morning contemporary
is tearing its hair and reDding it linen over
the suggestion that MIR. ]. H. RUMEL, jr.,
be appointed to the place in the Union
Pacific railway service made vacant by the
death Of FRANCIS Core. The Tribune al
ieges that the Mormon church IS urging
the appointment. and using Its influence
to coerce the Union Pacific management,
and calls upon the Gentiles to stand to-
gether in opposition to Mr.. RUMEL
The fact that our contemporary asserts d
thing is confirmation to the minds of peo-
pie familiar with the paper that the oppc-
ate is true, and the circum stances that the
Tribune advocates a particular cause con-
vinces right-thinzing people that they
should not support it.
Now, what is there about this business
that should start our contemporary on the
road 10 the mad-house! Mr. RUMEL was
way, and every change that was made
in his case was promotion. His ability and
his integrity were recognized by his en-
pioyers, and his courteous department and
efficiency were appreciated by the public
When the local road had been swallowed by
the giant corporation, and old employees
were dropped right and left, he naturally
concluded that it was only a question of
brief time when he would have to go, and an
other opening presenting itself he accepted
it. He na.i been in the line of succession
to Mr. Cope in the old company, and the
vacancy caused by Mr.. Cores death being
untitled, it occurred to some Of the men
who had done business with Mr. RUMEL
that it would be well if he were given the
place The friends thereupon forwarded a
netition to the management requesting his

The strongest evidence that has

cautiOnary measure by the health
department of New York City. In
thespring and fall of each year vaccin-

house and vaccinate all infants over
three months. of age whose parents
desire it. Between $4,000 and co.
900 persons are thus vaccinated ev-
cry year, about 10000 of those op-
Grated upon being children. TIE
vaccination corps was established in
1884, and two years thereafter the
results of the work first became man
ifest. DR.. Edison says:
The deaths from smallpox previous
to 1876 averaged 1857 per 100000
per year;since 1876 they have aver
aged 8.2S per 100000 per year,
and this average is being yearly
reduced. During the past sixteen
months we have had only two
cases of the disease in New York City.
One of these cases occurred in the

Tanned bY Perfumes.

Wild animals are completely fascin

There was a Mrs. Lee in India who
had a tame leopard that played in
the house with her children. He was
inquisitive, as all of the cat tribe are,
and loved to stand on his hind legs
and with his fore paws on the window
sill look out at the passers by.
When the children wanted the place
for themselves they would all take
hold of his tail and pull him down
by that. He was generally very
amiable, but sometimes, his claws
being very sharp, the children were
scratched. So Mrs. Lee taught Sal
to keep his claws sheathed by giving
him when he did so a little paper tray
on which lavender water had been
dropped. This would throw him in
to transports of delight. He would
tear the paper into bits and roll over
with them on the floor. With moth
ing but a bottle of lavender water |

A streak of Fortune.

Mrs w. Kellar. of this city, had the good
fortune on the 10Th day of April to be noti-
fed that she was the holder of q twentieth
q ticket number 21,303 of The Louisiana
State Lottery which drew the capital prize
or 800, 000 and last week she received a sack
OF twenty. dollar gold pieces from the Lottery
Company, amounting to $4,000, which she
has deposited in the First National Bank for
the present. Mrs. Kellar when asked about
the good fortune said, 81 have been buying
tickets for the last three years and won two
prizes before amounting in all to $50. This
time sent for the ticket and told the mes
senger to procure high number as did not
want O low number. i received the ticket
with number 81 1903 and was overjoyed when
saw that the number on my ticket was the

Hard People To Satisfy.

ut is truly wonderful how univer.
sal meanness is" said one of a group
of men in an uptown cafe the other
night, according to the New York
Tribune. "The poor show it as well
as the rich, though there is some ex-
cuse the former. Afunny instance
OF the kind came under my notice
down at Coney island last summer.
1t was rather late in the season, and
most OF the restaurants which add q
musical program ofsome sort to their
bill OF fare had dispensed with these
performers as the patronage began
to fall of. This was one ofthose hot
days that sometimes come in the fall
to makepeople glad that cold weather
is near, suppose, and We had spent
an hour in the surf, and were having
something to eat with our beer in a
restaurant, whose band, as | said,
had blown itself back to town for the
season.
Along came a hungry-Iooking
music-butcher with an old violin, and
stationing himself near the door, lie
was accustomed proba bly, to invita-
lions to strike up a march, without
using his bow, began to reveal the
skeleton of'White Wings at feast.

Schmidt, who was with US. and is, as
you know, an excellent violinist, pas
sionately fond of music and of gen
tie heart withall, though somewhat
conceited, interferred and beiriended
the poor devil.
Just what induced him to do it |
do not know. He said it was the
hungry looks of the man. / think
myself it was SchmiGt's vanity at
lotion. Similar stories are told
about Paginini and other great ar
fist and singers you know, and brob-
ably he wanted to emulate them.
Anyway, he took the violin from the
man, and, tucking it under his chin,
gave us fifteen minutes Of excellent
music, considering the awful old in
strument. The crowd caught on to
the humor of the thing and applaud
ed the kindness as we'll as the music
heartily.
Giving the violin back to it's owner,
Schmidt sat down, beaming with
pleasure and trying to look uncon-
scious.
"Now pass around your hat he
said to the tramp.
"The fellow was apt enough to that
kind of work, and a liberal shower of
dimes and quarters rained down into
the crown of his greasy old headgear.
After he had completed the round he
approached Schmidt, and he waited
to hear what would say. Schmidt
was evidently getting ready to stop
his flow Of gratitude in a grand seig-
noir style, but the fellow only held
out his hat for Schmidt's contribu-
ton. We were actually fabbergast-
ed for a minute and then we roared
with laughter.

Safe Blowing Extraordinary.

Capt. William A. Pinkerton, the
noted detective, having seen that two
burglars ofhis professional acquaint-
ance were advertised to blow open a
safe on the stage in five minutes,
went to the theatre one night in Chi
cago recently and told them that
they could not do it in FIVE. They
declared they could. Thereupon he
puts $500 in the safe; they did the
same, and he locked it with his own
combination. 'If you get the safe
open in five minutes" he said "the
money is yours. If you don't, it's
NINE" Hethen stationed himself at
the wings, watch in hand, and waited
for the burglary scene. The cue Civ
en-, they jumped through the window
and set vigorously to work.
In two minutes the diamond drill
had bored through the steel door.
Then O powder blower was inserted,
the bellows set to going, the crevices
around the door puttied, and the
crank drill was cutting the hinges.
The fuse was inserted; o wet blanket
hung over the door, and the match
struck. AS Pinkerton's watch show
ed the passage of three minutes and
acknowledgements there was flash
from the safe, a cloudlet of smoke, a
heavy jar and the massive door fell
on the stage. The detective remark
ed: Owe been chasing safe blowers
around the country for thirty years
and I thought I knew something
about the business. But this is the
first time ever heard of safe being
blown open inside of four minutes.
