Despite the late unpleasantness between
the Brotherhood and the National league
an unpleasantness that greatly disguised
the public with baseball, the sport grows
constantly in the favor of young and mid
die aged America. Even winters snow
and chilling winds, hitherto unconquered
enemies, have at last succumbed to the
march of the game. and indoor baseball

Rapids. Detroit, joliet and many other
places where large armories, club houses
or Kinks give the winter teams space and

The game is popular wherever it is
played, but Chicago, the birthplace of the
sport, has distanced all rivals. The game

The Same Rates as to Montana

A telegram from w. F. White, passenger

the chamber of commerce was received last
evening announcing that the Western
Traffic association in session at Chicago
has complied with the request of the Trans
portation bureau of the Salt Lake chamber
of commerce, asking that the same passen

SOMETHING WE SHOULD APPRECIATE.

The Colorado Midland train leaving Salt
Lake from Rio Grande depot at 10 :05 p. m.
for Denver and all eastern points, has Pull
man sleeper which starts from Salt Lake
running through to Denver. Passengers
going over Colorado Midland can find this
sleeper opposite Rio Grande depot after
s 80 each evening. Returning, this sleeper
leaves at S:l5 p. M, arrives at Salt Lake at
40 a. m, second morning. Sleeper is set
off at Salt Lake and passengers allowed to
remain in car until 80 a. m, thereby pas
sengers can get full nights rest. Our peo-
pie should appreciate this thoughtfulness
for Salt Lake and return the compliment by
giving this line their patronage.

He Goes to the Rio Grande Western.

Mr.. George w. Gushing, for many wears
the affable rate clerk in the Union Pacific
office, severed his connection with the over
land route last evening, and has accepted a
position in the Rio Grande Western gen
eral offices, where he will be found On and
after tomorrow. AT this time the writer
takes occasion to say that the Union Pacific
loses valuable acquisition to the force,
and this loss is the Rio Grande's gain. Mr.
Cushing has ever been polite, courteous
and agreeable while in the position he has
just vacated, aud the many persons who
have been called into business contact with
him will regret his departure from the
place he has so well filled. They will be
pleased to learn, however. that his lines
have fallen in pleasant places.

How All Indian War Was Begun

The Modoc war Of 1872, in which so
many valuable lives were lost, was be-
gun by the advance Of half a troop of
the First cavalry. This force rode up
to the Indian camp, dismounted and
were standing to horse, with probably
no thought of being murdered or of any
serious trouble. 1t is reported that while
the officer in command was talking to
the chief a rifle was discharged by an
Indian, either accidentally or as a sig
nal, and that instantly thereafter firing
on the troops took place and a number
were killed and wounded.
The Indians, about sixty in number,
taking advantage Of the confusion
among the troops, retired to their strong
hold in the lava beds, numbering every
white man Ell route. In this strong
hold they detied the government, mas

inent men sent to them in peace, and

A matrimonial clubhouse is among
recent innovations in a European city.
1t is a large, roomy building, divided
into several apartments, IN one OF which
portraits of each woman subscriber are
exhibited, with full descriptions Of her
age, talents, fortune, color of hair, eyes.
etc, size Of hands and feet, and meas
urements of the bust and general con-
tour. There is also a brief account of
her life, whether widow or spinster, and
of her particular penchant in alliance
with bachelor OF widower, merchant.
lawyer or jurist, etc, all nicely tabu-
lated and set forth. In another room
are the portraits Of men candidates for
connubial bliss, but the descriptions are
less elaborate, and confine themselves to
an enumeration Of the social status Of
the candidate and his financial condi-
ton.
A general reading room provides a
medium for mutual meeting, and is pre-
sided over by an ancient dame who knits
interminable stockings. There are also
private rooms for more confidential tete-
a-tete. One Of the curious rules OF the
place is that only ladies may enter the
room where the mems portraits are, and
men only are admitted to the women's
gallery. They must meet in the COM
mon room. The establishment is con-

An Old Custom in Durham Cathedral.

A curious custom, and one which we
believe is in existence at the present
time at Durham cathedral, is for the
choristers, clad in flowing white robes,
to ascend the tower Of the cathedral on
the eve of the feast Of Corpus Christi
and sing the ''Te Deum." This cere-
mony is performed to commemorate the
miraculous extinguishment of a fire on
that night in 1929. According to the
legend the belfry was struck by light
ming at midnight while the priests were
engaged in prayer, and although the fire
ragged for several hours the bells escaped
injury. This, it was said, was owing to
the special interference Of the incOrrupt-
ible St. Cuthbert, who was enshrined in

How a Coat of Tar Feels.

People who read of tarring and feath.
ering know that the punishment is a
very unpleasant one, but few imagine
how terribly painful and dangerous it
is. In Wyoming once saw a man who
had been tarred and feathered, and al
though he fully deserved the discipline
| could not help plying him. Hardened
tar is very hard to remove from the skin,
and when feathers are added it forms a
kind Of cement that sticks closer than a
brother. AS soon as the tar sets the vic
TINS suffering begins. 1t contracts as
it cools, and every one of the little veins
on the body is pulled, causing the most
exquisite agony. The perspiration is
entirely stopped, and unless the tar is
removed death is certain to ensue.
But the removal is no easy task and
requires several days. The tar cannot
be softened by the application of heat,
and must be peeled off bit by bit, sweet
oil being used to make the process less
painful. The irritation to the skin is
very great, as the hairs cannot be olsen
gagged, but must be pulled out Or cut off.
No man can be cleaned of tar in a single
day, as the pain of the operation would
be too excruciating for endurance, and
until this is done he has to suffer from a
pain like that Of 10000 pin pricks. Num-
bers Of men have died under the tor
ture, and zone who have gone through
it regard tar and feathering as anything
but a most fearful infection. Interview

a Baritone Gets ApPlauded by an Au-

John E. McWade, the well-known
baritone, was at the Columbia with Hal
len and Harris New Later On" Mr..
McWade, it will be remembered, is the
singer who popularized Comrades, but
be is a nice fellow in spite Of that. He
and his little family have a delightful
home at Mount Vernon, near New York
city. During the summer MI. McWade
sang in light opera in Milwaukee, and in
every production, whether the scene was
laid in Venice Or Japan, the audience
howled for Comrades" until John
stepped to the footlights, winked at the
leader Of the orchestra and proceeded to
render that venerable ballad as he only
can render it.
When here he and his wife stopped at
the Windsor hotel. Early one morning
Chief Clerk Jasper received a message
saying that Baritone McWade was want
ed at the public telephone station, where
a party in Milwaukee desired to hold
converse with him. Mr.. Jasper carried
the message to the McWade ~parlors<in
person.
The baritone was INDUCING in his
morning nap. or beauty sleep, when he
learned what was wanted. He hastily
arose, donned his clothes and rushed
over to the telephone station, where he
entered the long distance telephone box
and took up the receiver.
"Hello!' he shouted, ''is that Mil
waukee::"
Yes" came the answer, faint but
clear. SIS that John McWade:'
at is" replied the singer. "Who is
that?:'
I'm Billy Crosby, from Chicago"
Hello, Billy! what are you doing up
there?"
Had to u up here On business last
night. Say, John, | want you to do me
a favor, if you will"
with pleasure. What is it?"
Just sing me the first verse and
chorus Of Comrades will your"
well, I'll be -,"said McWade half
to himself and the other half to Crosby
in Milwaukee.
"Go ahead, John. I've paid the tolls.
I'd give five dollars to hear Comrades
now. If you'll sing III open a small
bottle when | meet you tomorrow"
All right; here goes" replied Nc
Wade with a laugh, and he started in
on Comrades" singing it as he never
sang it before. One of the messenger
boys tiptoed over and quietly opened the
door of the long distance box.
Then the whole force Of the office
knocked off work and drank in the
superb melody as it rolled from the bari
tones lungs to Milwaukee by wire. AS
he wound up the song with a high note
he heard Crosby say, "Wait a minute,
John" Then he plainly heard the Mil
waukee receiver drop and Crosby clap
his hands vigorously in front Of the
transmitter. 1t was genuine applause
from ninety miles away, and it sounded
as sweetly to the singer as though it had
been the roar Of a vast audience.
Thanks, John. That was great. The
bottle goes. Tell Clayton to put it on
ice now" came the faint voice. Good
by"
"Goodby," said John, and he chuckled
all the way back to his hotel.-Chicago
