participate in at Salt Lake
MIR. Armstrong is one of the many men
who made snug competence by coming
to this city three years ago His first
lucky turn was the purchase of sixty acres
across the Jordan, which he closed out at
$500 an acre. The firm of Weeter & Arm
strong has been one of the most energetic
and successful in the sale of single lots in
this city. They have handled addition

mentioned Park Place, West TempIe.

five hundred lots, largely to home pur-

lSpecialto THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch. I
NEW YORK, Feb. 2l.-The weakness of
the performance of Carmen" at the Met
ropoiitan opera house last night was mat
ter of general comment among music lovers
in the house. Had the audience known of
the trouble on the stage the night before,
1t would not have been in the least sur
prised at the manner In which the opera
was given. A dress rehearsal took place
Thursday night and it is said to have been
as breezy as ever was held. There was a
good deal of loud talk, waving of arms and
expostulation, and all because Minnie
Hauck, the prima donna, took offense at
Walter Damrosch, the conductor, and said
if he was to conduct at the performance of
the opera she would certainly not appear.
ALI at once, however, it was remembered
that Frau Ritter Boetze, member of the
company. was one of the best of the Euro.
pean Carmens Word was immediately
sent her to hold herself in readiness to sing
the part last night This was surprise to
Miss Hauck, and when she heard of it she
Immediately cooled down. She was not
quite so determined then not to appear,
and when the time came for the perform
ance last night she was all ready TO go on
and sing. Mr.. Damrosch conducted, and
the chances between the prima donna and
the conductor were not very friendly.
