Correspondence OF the DEsEREr NEWS
A salt Laker, while being whirled
along the Union Pacific route, Is
struck at once with the desolatiOn
Of the country between lie Utah
line and Cheyenne. Nature does
not seem 10 have assisted in the
building Of cities, and money APP
parently has been planted IN eom-
fortress buildings without flower or
tree to relieve the dry mOnotony.
OF course there are exceptions but
this is the rule; and then ones
Thoughts are turned toward beauti-
full Utah aud how the governmental
favors are showered upon the one
aud governmental hate upon the
other. From our orchards and
flower gardens to the sandy plains OF
OF Wyoming is indeed a change.
The only comforts TO be found are
seemingly upon the Union Pacific
trains
This road has the name Of max
ing every thing pleasant for passen-
ger; while it my discriminate on
freights aui smash freight cars, yet
its passengers are kindly and safely
cared for and few or no accidents
occur on the trains bearing its most
valuable cargO-I assengers.
From Cheyenne to Omaha the
country improves, and the eye be-
comes more pleased, and when one
boards the Chicago AMI Northwest
ern road he begins to see something
OF good quiet scenery, AMI continues
| To enjoy the modern cOnveniences OF
railroad travel.
As long as you conceal the fact
that you are from Salt Lake your
society is enjoyed, but il you wish
10 continue with tourists on good
footing, forever bury your birth
place. For instance, you are asked
10 Join a party In a fOuT-handed
euchre game. You consent and have
an old but amiable Boston girl for
PARTNER, and the time goes pleas
autly on, but presently: care you
from the west?'' eyes, sir" every
| far wesi?'' eyes, sir" "Ah,
Omaha?'' ono, Salt Lake"
Wet blankets aud shades Of gloom
preserve u! Your partner sinks
under the table, your opponents
take every trick aud TO escape the
bIackness you Withdraw. Chicago
Is the great busy city OF America,
and one is struck with the restless
ness Of its population. Itseems- like
every man has only n few minutes
10 live and is trying to make his
fortune In that short time. Rush,
grab, push, hurry, crush seem to
be the war cries aud one Is daZZled
with the confusion and excitement,

Strauss and his Vienna orchestra
I have been delighting Chicago au-
| diences for some time ia this great
/ theatre, and 10 witness the perform
ance in such house ligs been in-
deed enjoyable.
John l.. Sullivan has been play
/ ing "EIOnest Hearts and Willing
Z Hands" at the Haymarket Theatre
and draws great houses, while Law
renee Barrett with his great com
pany in Francesca Di RiminiD Is
playing in the SAME city 10 slim
/ audiences. What a repTJlch to civ
ilizltioni Sullivan the slugger gets
thug rich; Barrett the artist starv-
! ing or course, everybody goes 10
see Sullivan from curiosity, and 20
sit and hear his play out is exceed
ingly interesting. Duncan &. Har-
ringtOn has written pathetic play
for him, and every time Sullivan
goes through his lines the audience
rOars. When he says, Come
mother, let's go 'Ome,5 the SYM
pathy Of the audience is expressed
10y Wild yell. Sullivan stands Il
pretty well AMI Sometimes. when
the scene Is very pathetic, he Joins
in the laugh. 4 fight is introduced
In the play which ! so realistic that
it brings the Audience standing and
John l.. is proclaimed the champion
OF the woTli. Everybody goes to
laugh and it Is funny beyond de-
scription TO see him worry through
n pathetic part while his audience
rOars with laughter.
The great sight in Chicago is the
Armour packing house, but your
readers have heard Of this 50 often
that il Is unnecessary 10 repeat il.
Besides; to see a live squeallng pig
jerked up in the air by the hind leg
and run through the machinery on
pulley, being first cut, then
scalded, scraped, cleaned and cut
up and ready for market quicker
than you can walk through the
establishment is quite enough to
make one dizzy AMI unable to write
il. No one who visits Chicago, how
ever, should miss n sight OF il.
