The Musical Union.

The Salt Lake Musicians union are
now full fiedged members of the National
League of musicians, they having re-
ceived word last week they were accepted.
1t is now Local No. IS of the National
league. The members will soon be wear
ing the League buttons on the lapel of
their coats.
The Musicians union seems to have
he support of the people of the city.
tUnion orchsstras have been aged at
the theatre both for the Columbian ball
and the chamber of ccmmei ce ball. An
orchestra presided over by M agnus Olsen
will furnish music for the latter, and the
celebrated Christensen orchestra of Og-
den, who are members of the Salt Lake
union, will furnish music for the Column
bian ball.
Some person with rather small feelings
wrote an article that was published in lost
Mondays Tribune that does an injustice
to the union and its officers, he claiming
the union says they are incompetent mu-
sicians, etc.
The officers of the union say the attack
was published without their know
ledge or consent, and further, they don t
approve of such methods; they recognize
the members of the theatre orchestra as
being among the best musicians. They
also state that they have it from good
authority that most of the members of
the orchestra would join the union but
are held back by the influence of one
man.

best voices in the city, under the leader
ship of so talented conductor as Profess
sor Stephens, with an orchestra Selected
and led by Professor Willard Weihe, ac-
companied by the great tabernacle organ,
presided over by Professor Thomas Rad
cliffe, would be sufficient, no matter what
the programme, but when this great
combination of musical talent presents so
magnificent a piece as Bucks Light of
Asia, nothing grander could be con-
ceived or executed by our local musicians
The cast includes the following well
known soloistS:

DEPUTY MARSHALS SHOT
A Fight Between Them and Mexican
RevoIutionists.
A Number of the Latter Are Also Killed
Prisoners Are Hanged and Their
Bodies Riddled with Bullets.

NEW LAREDO, Mex, Dec. 24.-Mexican
revolutionists have committed another
bold outrage on United States soil. A
lengthy dispatch received here today from
Guerrero states that reliable information
is just received there of an engagement in
Japata county, Texas, between a posse of
United States marshals and about 800 rev.
olutionists, which resulted in the defeat
of the marshals and the capture of two of
the latter, who are being held as prison
ers by the outlaws.
Last Wednesday this posse left camp,
about forty miles below Carrizzo, and
Julian Palacios, one of the leaders of the
recent revolutionary movement, and
started back to camp with him, Friday
morning the camp of deputy marshals
was attacked by about three hundred
well-armed revolutionists. The deputy
marshals made desperate resistance, but
were overpowered and compelled to re-
treat.
The revolutionists released Palacios and
captured two deputy marshals. 1t is re-
ported that a number of revolutionists
were killed and wounded and that three
UnitedStates deputies were ounded. Also
a rumor that the deputies whowere taken
were hanged by the revolutionists and
their bodies riddled with bullets. No
confirmation of this last mentioned ru-
NOR has been received. 1t is understood
here that federal authorities in Laredo
have received full particulars OF the fight,
but they are suppressing the news in Or
der that plan by which they are arrang-
ing for capturing the desperate band may
be carried OutSucceSSfully.

Soon Leave for the East.

The President of the New Company VIII
Soon Leave for the East
Colonel Murray, although reported to
hay e started for the east was present in
the flesh on Main street yesterday and
able to converse in his usual emphatic
style.
xviii your company ask any local aid
for the Deep Creek railway?' Asked a
HERALD reporter.
"What the company Will demand at the
present time l cannot say, as it will de-
pend on the decision of the eastern CAPT
talists who are to furnish the money for
its construction. -
The colonel said he expected to be able
to leave for the east some time this week
and could give no definite information
until he had consulted with his eastern
friends.
The general expression. as far as it
could be gathered, was that the road will
be built in the early spring and that the
miners who have been working for yESrs
in the hope that railroad would some
day come to their aid are at last to realize
the fruits of their expectations.

thread doesn't knot.
To clean carpets, go over them once a
week with broom dipped in hot water,
to which little turpentine has been
added. Wiring cloth IN the hot water
and wipe under pieces of furniture too
heavy to be moved.
There is nothing that proves such an
economizer OF strength and time in the
cleaning Of windows as the use of alcohol
instead of water. 1t cleanses with magic
rapidity and is not an extravagant substi-
tute. as a prudent person is able to wash
a great many windows with small bottle
of alcohol.
Excellent and economical jelly can be
made Of the rinds and cores of any good,
juicy apples which have been pared for
pies or p1ddings. Every particle of the

Notes For Flower Levers.

Cacti should be sparingly watered from
now on.
Hyacinths and other spring towering
bulbs for late blooming may yet be
ported.
Freesias that were ported in August for
winter blooming may now be started into
growth.
Jasminum grandiflorum should be given
light, sunny situation and liquid ma
nure at times.
Camellias will soon begin to bloom.
Syringe the plants freely in good weather,
and water literally at the roots.
Carnations should be neatly tied up and
placed in situation as close TO the glass
as possible. Water carefully.
Azaleas will now be at rest and should
be placed in the coolest part of the green
house and watered rather sparingly.
Roses in pots for early blooming will
soon begin TO show their buds Do not
force them too rapidly. Guard against
mildew.
Cinerarias and calceolarias should be
repotted if they require it. Keep them
as cool as possible. Water carefully and
guard against green fly.
Ixias and other cape bulbs may vet be
ported for later bloom. Those that were
potted IN September may be started into
growth about the end of the month,
Additions do best when given a light
situation. Those varieties with varie-
gaseG foliage should be as fully exposed to
the sun as possible in order to bring out
the markings clear and distinct.
Fuchsias-the winter blooming yarie-
ties, such as Earl of Beaconsfield. speciosa
and serratifolia-should be shifted into
larger pots If they require it. In lieu of
this give liquid manure occasionally.
