A Commercial Tourist.
Since the death of Mr.. M. A. Hope, Mr..
Frank R. Hunter, the expert book keeper
for the Clifton Forge Grocery Co., Whole

house in the capacity of travelling sales

CRUSADE AGAINST THE OIL LAMP.
superintendent Of Railway Mail Service
Condemns It-Battle Creek Wreck.

superintendent Of Railway Mail Service
Condemns It-Battle Creek Wreck.
The annual report of the superinten-
dent Of the railway mail service, says
the Chicago Tribune, takes whack at
the deadly oil lamp" 1t says it al
most invariably explodes and burns
things up when there is a smash-up,
and when it doesn't the oil is scattered
all over the contents of the car, doing
great damage. He gives forty-three
cases Of damage where there was no
fire.
The oil lamp seems to be catching it
all along the line The suburbanites
are making their annual complaint.
They say they are running their eyes
by reading their evening papers by its
dim and smoky light.
But the lamps worst work is in set
ting fire to railroad wrecks and adding
the horrors of cremation to those Of
collision. The worst case of late is the
wreck last week on the Grand Trunk,
at Battle Creek. Out of twenty-seven
bodies taken out of car No. 49, twenty
six were burned so that identification
was difficult. How many passengers
might have been taken out alive had
not the wreck caught fire from the ex-
DlCCGQ OIL lamps, Will liSNSl NC fAhOW IL
The sight of Mrs. Van Dusen being
slowly burned to death will never be
forgotten by those at the scene.
Other late cases of damage caused by
the oil lamp are as follows: Oct. a.
the Pullman sleeper "Bosphorus"
caught fire from a lamp explosion
while standing in the Union Depot at
Birmingham, Ala. It's contents were de-
stroyed and three passengers barely
escaped with their lives.
Oct. Is the through mail car from
Chicago to ST. Paul caught fire ten
miles east of Chippewa Falls, Wis.
Most of the contents of the car, which
was combination mail and express,
were destroyed.
Wells Fargo car No. 656 was destroy
ed Oct. II just out of st. Louis. The
lamp exploded and nearly burned the
express messenger to death before the
train could be stopped. 1t was necessary
to cut out the car to save the ST.
Louis and San Francisco train. Every
thing but the big steel safe was de-
stroyed-a loss of $4,000 or more The
Union Pacific and some other western
roads have equipped their cars with
the safety Pintsch light and steam

A PLEASANT AFFAIR
Given by the Ladies of the First Presby-
terrain Church.

The ladies of the First Presbyterian
church held a sale in the basement of
the church last evening which resulted
in a good time for the visitors and a
replenished exchequer for the church
The candy stand presided over by
Misses Maud Thorn, Clara Cotton and
Lutte McMillen, was tastefully deco
rated and the homemade candy sold
there was delicious.
Misses Bertha Parsons and May
Critchlow dispensed pineapple lemon
ade and their stand was we'll patron
lied.
Cocoa and waters were sold at an
other table presided over by Mrs.
Brinker.
Sealed packages tied with bows of
pink or green tissue paper were hung
upon wires artistically arranged in the
center of the room and met with
ready sale, Notwithstanding the fact
that the buyer was ignorant of the con-
tents. The packages all contained use
full articles and many were worth more
than the price paid for them. Mrs.
Bascom and several other ladies had
charge of this department.
The ladies made this affair so pleas
ant that we shall hope to hear of others
like it in the near future.

WISDOM ABOUT WRINKLES.
1t Is Far Easier to Avoid Them Than to
Cure Them.

f'Dont try to cure wrinkles-avoid
then,' was the practical bit of advice
that dropped from the lips of a woman.
The speaker passed on with her friend
but left behind one who meditated long
and thoughtfully upon what she had
just heard 1t is true wrinkles are in
themselves incurable save by the
gentle process of nature known as
'fattening up which often comes at
the age when wrinkles commence. As
long as matter is supreme wrinkles
will be subjugated. But there is a
good deal in avoiding the tell-tale
lines. Care of the eyes and facial re-
pose are the two things which count
Chewing gum is responsible for many
wrinkles in American faces, as is emo
ton. People who make faces for a Iiv-
ing, such as clowns and comedians,
people who squint and people who
laugh and chatter perpetually, all have
worn and haggard faces. Therefore the
great preventive is rest.
AS for the eyes, just notice how
much earlier in life the weak-eyed
woman wrinkles than does her keen
visioned sister. Trying to face the in
tenSity II the sunlight or 70 sew or
read by artificial light strains the eyes
until the facial muscles as well as the
optical nerves are taxed to the utmost
In winter the refracted sunlight from
the snow or ice under foot and in sum-
mer the binding glare from the sum
shine on the sea and the beach are in
1uences as prolific as the unrelenting
hand of time. Society women are the
only class of weak-eyed people who
take proper care of their faces. They
save their eyes. If they are too vain
to wear glasses they don't try to read
under trying circumstances. In public
places the fashionables make little use
of opera glasses and no use of libret-
tos. programmes, catalogues and pray
er books. You will never catch the so
ciety beauty burning holes in her
eyes to study a stage artist. But the
staple article is a fan, and women who
know its real value aside from the dec
orative eat, sleep, read and live with
1T in hand 1t is this sort of protec-
ton for the eyes that retards the ac-
emulation of wrinkles and preserves
the sight. The early adoption and con-
tinuous use of broad trimmed hats for
weak eyed girls is timely preventive
OF untimely crows toes and wrinkles

railway is still pushing on to Centre
vile.
The $3.50 and sS65O one way rates
to st. Louis and Chicago will go into
effect on the 10th inst, instead of the
5th as heretofore announced. The $50
and $3.50 rates will still remain in eff

ion Pacific is reported to be much bet
ter.
G. w. Lampson, city ticket agent of
the Union Pacific at Butte, Mont, is
in the city. He is just returning from
a visit to the Worlds fair.
On account of the shortness of these
days it has been decided that the city
ticket offices of both railroads here will
open at 1880 am. instead of 7, and close
at $50 pm, instead of 7.

New York, Nov. S.-The volume Of

Does Nothing.

Transacted.

MIR. Raybould Has Appropriations of
S75, OOO on His Desk, But Can
DO Nothing with Them.

The city council met last evening in
adjourned session but did practically
nothing. 1t is hard to say what the
object was in meeting at all unless it
was that the members might earn? SIS
each which with trimmings runs the
expense to the municipality up to
about 500.
This council is very determined to
pursue its policy of wastefullness and
extravaganza to the very end. Times
are bad money is tight and the council
men cannot afford to miss an oppor-
tunity to suck the public pap how ever
slight the eexcuse.
A notice was read from the attorneys
|of the Pacific Paving Company that
unless q balance of account amount
ing to $399.05 was paid suit would
be commenced to recover the same.
The matter was referred to the city
attorney and the city engineer.
The mayors appointment Of Heber
M. Wells as a member of the board
Of public work was confirmed. This
|act was the only business done. 1t
was Iaudable on the part of the council
to confirm the appointment but 1t
comes rather high. One hundred dol
lars is too much for the labor Of the
solons in confirming the appointment.
No doubt the massive brains of most
of the members were greatly taxed in
thinking over the appointment and in
coming to the conclusion to conffHm it
but all things considered it was an
over paid piece of work.
Several formal reports were received
and either filed or laid over.
All members were present except
Karrick and Beardsley. President
Loofbourow presided. Johnny Lawson
remained only about twenty minutes.
He went across to the Liberal demon
stration at the theatre and was joined
at $50 by the other members, the coun-
Gil standing adjourned until Wednes-
day evening.

THREATEN TO SUE.
The following notice was read and
referred to the city attorney and city
engineer:
Utah. have placed in our hands for
collection against you and the Salt
Lake Rapid Transit company, their &C
count of the balance due for stone
block paving laid at the intersection Of
Second South and State streets,
amounting to 1888. 40, with interest at

MIR. WELLS CONFIRMED.
The committee on public works re-
ported as follows in the matter of the
vacancies on the board of public
works:
ssYour committee apprehend that an
oversight occurred whereby the mayor
was not informed that there are two
vacancies on the board of public
works to be filed. Those whose duty
il was to do SO deserve repremand
for failing to apprise the mayor Of
that fact However we consider the
selection of Mr. Wells as one of the
best that could be made for repre-
sentation on the board and cheerfulIy
recommend that his nomination be
confirmed.
