The dinner given at Fort Douglas on

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-01-22

The last week was the coolest of the
season, but the weather did not in any
way interfere with the gayeties, for there
was one continual round. In fact for
four or five years there has been nothing
known like it, and the florists, caterers,
hairdressers and costumers are reaping a
rich harvest Not for many a season b as
the dressing been so picturesque, dainty
and fascinating. But Lent is rapidly ap
preaching when most of it will end. The
largest affairs of the week were the Cham
Der OF Commerce ball and the Phoenix
club dance at the Manitou. Card parties.
dinners, luncheons and an afternoon
have filed the remaining hours.
An amusing and pretty cotillion figure
danced not long since was a number of
hurdle races. The young girls held the
ribbons and wore iocky caps of bright
colored silk. Each drove three men with
gay-colored ribbons for reins. Each man
held in his hand a wooden spoon in
which was a wooden bali that he must
keep in place as he jumped the hurdle.
There is no end of funsin this figure, as
well as much excitement.
The dance given at the Manitou on Fri
day evening by the ''Phoenix Club was
& brilliant success, doing great credit to
the young gentlemen who had it in
charge, every detail being most carefully
looked after The music was the choicest
and the supyer, too. The programme
was gotten up in the prettiestand most ele-
CANT style, the front being daintily paint
ed in field grasses and daisies, with dove
lowering over them, the delicate la
vender ribbons and pencils being a
pretty finish. Eighteen dances were
down and four extras. The young ladies
did honor to the occasion by DOMINIC
gowns of such loneliness as to ensnare the
hearts of all the gay gallanfs present. If
any escaped they must have been hard in
deed. This is the first and to be the only
dance given by the club this winter. 1t

rhe Weight Of Crowds. I

The load which is produced by dense
crowd of persons is generally taken at 80
to 100 pounds per square foot and is con-
sidered to be the greatest uniformly dis
tributed load for which floor need be
proportional. That this value may be
largely exceeded In an actual crowd was
pointed out by Professor w. G. Kernot
of the Melbourne university, Australia,
10 q paper before the Victorian Institute
Of Engineers. In an actual trial class
of students averaging 1885 pounds each
In weight were crowded in lobby con-
tanning 1923 square feet, making an ay-
erage floor load of 184.7 pounds. There
was still room to have placed another
man, which would have brought up the
loading to 1881 pounds per square foot.
Professor Kernot also quoted from
Stoney, who placed So Irish laborers
averaging 1853 pounds each in weight in
an empty ship deckhouse measuring 81
square feet floor area. This was load
Of 147.4 pounds per square foot. In an
other test, with 70 laborers crowded into
a hut feet by 8 feet inches, Stoney
produced load of 143 pounds per
square foot and estimated that two or
three more men could have been squeezed
In. 1t appears from these experiments
that while the figures ordinarily assumed
of so to 100 pounds are sufficiently COR
rect for spaces on which there is no
cause to induce the collection of great
crowds, larger figures, say 140 to 100
pounds per square foot, should be used
for railway stations and platforms. en-
frances and exits to places Of public as
semblies or Of Office buildings, bridge
sidewalks, pavements over vaults and
other places where dense crowds are
likely to gather. Engineering News.

No Law Against Removing a Dead Body.l
"Where in the world" asked the law
yer who volunteered information with
out retaining fee, "did people-espe-
cially people in the country-get the idea
that one cannot touch or remove body
until the coroner has arrived That is
almost general belief in the country,
and there never was q more ridiculous
and absurd piece Of nonsense than this.
have seen body lie in everybody's
way because the people thereabout
thought that 1t was unlawful to touch it.
This foolish tradition amounts almost
to q superstition, and you may be sure
no coroner takes the troubles to enlighten
stupid ignorance upon the subject. The
coroner Is only too willing to aggrandize
his influence and power, and therefore
rather encourages than discourages this
silly superstition. New York Tribune.

THREE ON A BENCH.

The Boy Had FatnE~s the cres& = R~sss

It was 3 o'clock in the morning. TAe
electric lights were still blaming IN the
silence Of Madison square A number
OF shabby figures sluuabe<sd q moved
about on the sssts beneath the srses q
the park. On bench beside the little
fountain sat group that arrested my
attention. Three figures were reclining
here with their heads and shoulders al
most touching one another. One was
but little more than a boy. A bundle
done up in calico handkerchief was In
his hand. His sunburned face and his
sturdy shoulders gave evidence that he
was from the country probably a farm
hand who had trudged in to try his luck
In the city. His boots were covered with
red clay. He was leaning against thin
figure clad in somewhat shabby gar
ments.
This man possessed dark and sinister
countenance. He was restless, and his
hands, which were thin and white.
twitched nervously in his sleep.
His lips moved systematically. His
was an evil conscience. There was
plainly q shady side to his past life.
Here were deceit and honesty side by
side. Next to the dark man slunbered
q very old and decrepit one, He was
clad In q linen duster. A battered gray
hat sat on his head, and his toes were
peeping out from the tips of his worn
shoes. The face of this old fellow was
scanned with deep and careworn wrin-
kles. His hair and beard were snowy
white. He was possessed Of palsy
that made him tremble constantly as he
lay doing. It was youth, manhood and
old age-typical of life.
These three reclined here in stolen
sleep. A park policeman came gliding
along from the distance through the twi.
light of the trees. He crept along like 9
gray ghost on the lookout for those
weary souls who were transgressing the
law by surreptitious slumber. His eyt
lighted with satisfaction as he behel(

The officer seized the crook by the col

The noise awakened the boy, who graspe'
the situation at once. Selling his bun

grass toward Twenty-third street. Onc'
feeling himself safe he stretched hi

The crook arose and stood in suller

The winter winds were signing
And into the orioles empty nests
The fakes Of snow were flying.
The vines along the garden wall
With crystal Ice were cleaning,
And In the garden dull and bare
The summer flowers were dreaming.
The snow lay deep over withered grass.
The skies were cold and gray,
And slowly the dreary night came on
To end the weary day.
Invoke. High up In the orchard boueAs
A hundred birds were singing,
And in the birch trees pleasant shade
The orioles nests were swinging
Along the river. tall and green.
saw the rushes growing,
And daisy petals white as snow
Among the grasses showing.
The flowers held the sunshine bright
The breezes were at play.
And swiftly the dreamy night came On
To end the happy day.

An extraordinary state Of affairs
exist in Kansas Two Lower Houses
OF the Legislature are in session
The Populists organized one House
and the Republicans have organized
another. Each claims to be the legal
house The Senate has recognized
the Popuiists House. II seems that
there has been a squabble between
the houses each day TO see which
could get TO the Hall first and take
possession. AT last the Populist took
possession and would not vaeate day
nor night. The Republicans then
armed themselves and marched in
and took passion by force. The
Populist then armed and beseaged
the House. The Governor ordered
out the state mahtia to preserve the
peace. The friends Of both houses
began to pour into the Capital from
all over the State and to arm them
selves. Bloodshed and war seemed
imminent. But the Governor has
effected u compromise by which both
Houses are to sit in seperate Hall,
and that the question as to which
House ID the legal one to be left to
the courts, and thus the matter will
probably be settled properly.
