All Music Lovers Should Attendant
Ogden Musicians Effort.
Tonight at the tabernacle will be given
the farewell concert of the great choir.
The programme which will be rendered
en- route, and which was announced ex-
clusively in these columns, viii be given
for the first time in public. The concert
should attract an immense audience, as
the receipts Will be used in defraying the
expenses OF the trip, which are very
heavy, and the entertainment will be a
treat.
The railroad companies viii assign all
berths to the pilgrims at the tabernacle
at 10 a. m. tomorrow to those showing
receipts for the same.
The committee has adopted q silk badge
bearing the inscription: Mormon Tab
ernacle Choir,'' with pictures of the
temple and tabernacle, those for the ladies
being white and for the gentlemen blue.
kilograms have been received from Den
yer announcing that the outlook for the
concert to be given in that city is very
encouraging, while the Chicago EUening
Post has telegraphed for photos of the
conductor and soloists of the choir.
Everything has been arranged for the
departure on Tuesday at p. m.
The following circular letter has been
sent to the clergymen OF the city:
SALT LAKE Cry Utah Aup "a 1893
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-08-27

Another minister has been roaring at
actors and from his pulpit shaking his
clenched fist at the theatre and at all con-
nectsd with it. This is sort of fever
which breaks out semi-annuaIly among
the ministers and is generally prevalent
at the beginning of the season. This
particular minister's name is Votey and
he breaches in Detroit. He claims that
the tendency to divorce among Americans
is largely the result of plays which 'sglo-
rify love at the expense Of law The
idea of laying at the door of innocent
actors the weaknesses of the balance of
the world is just little too much. He
forgets, if he ever knew anything about
it, all of the noble Inspirations, the
good deeds, that spring forth as
a result of plays that are en-
nobling or that teach great truths.
Certainly there are plays that do harm.
but that whole class of people should be
attacked on account of this is manifestly
wrong.

While on this subject might mention
q wag OF an actor who spent his spare
time last year in making scrap book of
strayed from the "broad and narrow
path" He claims these are very numer-
Gus and that the particular sin of these
worldly saints is that which is the cause
of most divorces. 1t is his fiendish plan
TO have all these printed and bound into
q neat pamphlet. One of these Will be
forwarded 20 each minister during the
coming year who attacks the stage, and
who accuses actors and actresses Of i'm
morality. This, he thinks, will be pay
ing them back in their own coin. 1t will
be judging a whole profession by the
wicked few.

new play has been produced in New
York entitled Liberty Hail. the
author being r. c. Carton. The cast
contained many well known people, in
Guiding Henry Miller, Cyril Scott, Agnes
Miller and Viola Allen. The majority OF
the New York criticism was favorable.
the simple story, the lack of melodra-
matte noise, is especially commended.
The story winds about an eccentric young
man of great wealth who masquerades as
a penniless lodger and in this guise looks
after the interests of two cousins, who
are unsophisticated, and who, by turn
in the wheel of fortune loose fortune,
and are thrown upon their own resources.
The eccentric cousin saves both girls
from foolish matrimonial entanglements
and finally narries one himself. 1t is too
early yet to predict what success the piece
will have with the public.

The Dedmdtic Times has a very severe
article entitled "phe Business End' In
which it severely scores many of the
managerial methods of today. The writer
has q feeling word for the newspaper
critic, which strikes sympathetic chord
somewhere about me. Let man use the
nildest censure and the manager, actor
or playwright Immediately hurls invec-
tives at the head of the critic. Blanche
Walsh was mildly scored in San Francisco
and was SO upset by It that she used a
woman's privilege and ''sassed back'
giving an opinion of San Francisco peo-
pie and cities not at all complimentary.
Now if there is one thing San Francisco
does pride itself upon it is its ability to
judge correctly of plays and players.
Consequently, when Miss Walsh SO far
lost her good judgment as to make such
an attack she brought down q perfect
storm upon her head.
But / started out to quote from the
Dramatic Times article:
The man of culture who visits the
theatre today has two courses open to
him: One is TO write consciously of what
he sees there, and the other is to close his
eyes to its glaring faults, and record his
approval of what his judgment con-
dennis. If he does the first he is accused
of cynicism and a desire to injure the
business of the house; while if he does
the second he is sure to earn the contempt
of all who have the best interests of the
drama at heart, and who look to him for
that guidance which should be the aim of
honest criticism, whether it be of paint
ing, politics, or the drama. Under these
conditions it must be admitted that the
critics life is not very happy
one, but after all, wouldn't it be
better for him and the stage if
he spoke out manfully, and said what he
thought, instead OF humbling himself
before the advertising department of'his
paper and tie box office of the theatre?
1t is an undenisble fact that great many
people have ceased to have any respect
for the opinions of a number of the
dramatic critics of the country, owing to
the fact that they have read fulsome
notices OF inferior productions which, If
the truth were told about them, would
have been retired after the first or second
week of their production. True, this
course would entail serious loss to some
body, but better such loss than the de-
bauchment of art and gloom that follows
the disappearance of thought from the
drama and genius from the actor. The
cry that 1--WE are out for the dust and
what we are after is the long green, -
should not serve TO shield theatrical ad-
vertisers.

ASKING AID.

A colony of poor people from the
state of Colorado arrived in the city
yesterday.
They are people who were thrown
out of work by the closing down OF
the silver mines last summer in the
great silver state.
Since that time Thousands Of miners
accompanied by their families, have
left Colorado and gone east, and hun
drods of Others are still enroute east
and south.
At many towns they have been hos
pitAbly treated and provided with all
the necesSaries required to sustain
life. Yesterday q whole colony of
these people arrived At Perry. Man!
remained there, but scores pushed on
to this city, and are now seeking aims
For the most part these miners are
deserving of aid, as they are hard
workers, but it is tough to have them
thrown u! ON community. Last
evening a number Of INDECENT fami-
lies were provided for and sent ont
OF town. but many are still here and
will probably remain all winter

OBITUARY.

Sarah Agnes Maxey Wilmington
was born in Jefferson County ILL.,,
Nov. 18th 1853. she joined the Metho-
dist Episcopal church in her 18th year;
she came to Texas in 1879, and engag-
ed in her happy and much loved pro-
fession of vocal music. AS a teacher
too much hardly could be said, she
was full mistress of her profession.
She was happily united in marriage
to Wiley F. Wilmington, of Dexter,
Cooke, Co., Tex, Aug. 14th, 1881.
To this union seven children were
born, five of them remain to mourn
an irreparable loss; she moved to
Ardmore, |. T., Jan. 1891 where she
lived to be known and loved by
large circle Of friends until the hour
of her peaceful death, which came at
$50 p. N. Tuesday, Nov. 81, 1898.
Her peace 'ul spirit made perfect
through suffering dismantled of its
clay went sweeping through tho
pearly gates Of the city OF the New
Jerusalem. There went out the life
of one whose love and devotion to
her husband and children were untir-
ing and unabating. AS a wife she
had the wisdom and enjoyed the pleas
ure of making home cheerful and was
indeed as was intended, by the Di-
vine author of the marriage life, q
help mate. AS mother she became in
fact servant for her children. She
possessed high. but pure aud holy as
piralions. To train her children for
the church and heaven was the prime
FACTOR in her life and sho desired to live
only TO accomplish that end. Her
church and pastor had an elevated
place in h er affections, with cheerful
words, thrilling song and an ever
reAdY helping hand she administered
to his comfort. She not only loved
the church, but possessed in . large
measure reverentisl pride for it that
| is 80 commendable. She endorsed
Ii earthly and labored to observe the
Pauline exhortation; "be not slothful
in business" and "let every thing be
done with decency and in ORDER
She "wept with the rrowing and re-
! joiced with the joyful" The high cs-
TEEN in which she was held and the
deep sympathy of so many friends
for her grief stricken husband and
! children was evidenced in so many

A HYBRID COIN.
Odd Story About the Issuing OF
Northumberland Dollar.

odd Story About the Issuing OF
Mexican-Colorado Dollar.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2.-'It is sui
generis and novel, and l must decline
to express any opinion about the
proposition. as l may be called to
act, officially in the matter" were the
words which leading treasury
official used today when reporter for
the Associated Press showed him the
Denver =. dispatch saying that Gov.
Waite has arranged for the coinage of
hybrid silver coin upon which is to
appear the Mexican. as we'll as
the Colorado coat of arms. All the Off.
Gals of the department with whom
the reporter talked declared that
the statements contained in the dispatch
were news to them, as they had not here
tOfOre heard anything whatever of it.
The opinion was expressed that the
plan was not feasible. as it was not be-
lieved that the president of the Mexican
government would enter into any
such arrangement with state gov
eminent, as that said to be In
contemplation, but negotiate, if at all,
with the national government. Assum-
ing such coins as those described were
issued, it is pointed out that they would
have tluctuating value. nobody would
take them except for their bullion
value, and that they would not
have any circulation outside of
the state of Colorado. They
would not be legal tenders. the United
States government would not receive
and the banks would throw them out as
they do Mexican dollars. Besides this,
said one official, what would the product
on the transaction amount to after the
transportation charges had been paid on
the bullion to Mexico and OH the coins
on their return to the United States?

New York for a Tour Over the
Road.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Hon. E. Ellery
Anderson, one of the recently appointed
receivers of the Union Pacific system,
will probably leave for the West tomcr-
row.
1.-The object of my trip" said Mr..
Anderson to a representative of the
Associated Press who called to see him
at his law office. No. 10 Wall street. ''is
to make the acquaintance of the division
superintendent, managers and officials
all over the system. in order TO arrive at
an intelligent understanding OF my du-
ties as one of the receivers"
The reporter learned at the Union
Pacific offices that S. II. III. Clark, preSi-
dent OF the road, was Ell route 10 this
city from Omaha, and that Oliver W.
Mink had already arrived here from
Boston.
Mr.. Anderson was asked if their pres
ence here had any significance in con-
nection with the rumor that the security
| holders committee and the government
were near to an understanding upon
the settlement of the public debt
Mot at all,' said he; 'of course that
subject will come up. and be considered.
1t has been under discussion for some
time, but as the question is very large
one, and it requires an immediate con.
summation, rs per cent of the bonds
must be accepted. Advertisements must
| be made, and vast amount of detail
| work accomplished before anything like
final completion of the arrangement
can be looked for. Very good talent is
engaged on this work, and the thing
will be done as soon as it is possible to
be completed"
