Stories About Salt Lakes Celebrated oys-
ter King.
During a general conversation in no.
tel last evening the meteoric career and
pecuIarities OF Coffee John, formerly the
oyster king of this city, were given an
airing.
One gentleman stated that he went into
Johns place IN company with friend
one evening and after absorbing two
stews John calmly demanded in payment
S4 The demurrer which ensued was
overruled and the 81 paid, it being a case
Of pay or take licking, this being Coffee
Johns method of collecting for his goods.
The way in which John got even with
an opera troupe is matter of local his
tory. He attended the opera, occupying
a box for which SIG was paid. At the
conclusion Of the show the company adj
journed to Johns and after flossy meal
they were held up for $40 which they only
paid after having the doors locked on
Them and receiving john s assurance that
they would stay there until the bill was
settled.
The belligerent oyster man met his
match in gambling joint, however. A
man named Cansey called Johns bluff to
seat him. and played football with
Johns person, to the qualification of the
onlookers.
This latter incident cooled Coffee John
sffectaally, and from that time his star
began to Wane. Johns wife was not
pretty, but she it was who got the big
run from the trunk when a scrap seemed
Imminent.

lowed by artisans and laborers. Farmers
and farmers sons consider % early
enough. Commercial clerks seek the
pleasures of matrimony at 26. Shop
keepers and shopmen postpone the rap
ture little while longer. Professional
men and gentlemen of independent means
rarely care to cucumber themselves even
with so delightful burden as wife until
they have toed the line of over 30 years.
Though the rich marry at a more ripe age
than the working fraternity, they
continue marrying until long af-
ter the last named have ceased
to wed. Whereas fourteen miners and
twenty -five artisans in every thousand
marry between the ages of 35 and 20,
nearly 100 of them do. 1t is explained in
this way: The rich like to see something
of the world and its pleasures before set
ting down to sober matrimony. A
laborer has neither desire nor oppor-
tunity for it. When he has house Of
his own, and wife to look after it for
him, he has attained, perhaps, to the
height of his ambition. 1t is said man
is neither physically nor mentally mature
until be is 80; and if this is true, it stands
to reason man at that age should be bet
ter fitted for the duties of husband and
father than a STRIPPING of 21.-Nel0 York.

What to- do with scorched places on
cloth is question that sometimes puzzles
the careful housewife. If the scorch is
not too bad, dipping the article in soap
suds and hanging it in the sun for some
hours Will be likely to remove it. If the
day is dull, hang the piece before a CRATE
fire.
Scorched spots that are very bad and yet
have not consumed the fiber of the goods
ere said to be restorable by repeated Dip
ping in saturated solution of borax. The
saturated solution, as the chemists call it.
consists of as much salt or crystal as the
water will dissolve. 1t is always safe to
put in little extra; if the borax stands
undisturbed in the bottom of the bottle,
one is sure of the full strength solution.
Repeated clippings of this, with exposure
to sun or fire light, will remove what are
by most housekeepers considered hopeless
discolorations.

NEW NAMES
Strong and Reliable Like the
Thousands Before them.
Such an Array OF Testimony Was Never
Before Published by ANY Insti-
tuition, and Must Carry Com
viction of the Success OF Drs.
Mansfield and De Monco.


That the people OF Salt Lake and surround
Ing nelgnDorood apprec ate the efforts of Drs.
mansfield and De Monco in their behalf and
tnat tney understand that their system of
treatment is the best-that it is mild. painless
ana sucescSful-that it is given them person
ally lor all catarrhal troubles at 10 month,
Win all medicines included Is evidenced by
tnelr constantly growing practice and partic-
ulariy the many estmable people who are
aValllng themselves of this treatment.
When Drs. Mansfei d and De Monco nearly
one year ago lnaugurated their fees of 80 O
month, medicine included many people held up
their hands in establishment and exclaimed
"Oh, 1t is too cheap to be good!' Pure med
lclnes can't really be furnished at that low
raie! It's trick to impose upon the pub
nc and such like cousenSe, but these physi-
clans kept on in their course, because they felt
they were right and would some day receive
the noWledgement such course merited.
They have practically revolutonlzed the
practice In medicine in Salt Lake. Not only
have they introduced new and painless meth
DDS of treatment in chronic catarrh al ailments.
but they have demonstrated that these chronic
troubles can be successfully treated for s. a
month, medicines included.
Today IS presented CO continuation of the re-
markable testimony given in favor of Drs
Mansfield and De Moncos method Of treat
ment. We can safely say, without
fear Of contradiction, that such an endorses
ment was never before given any physician or
any system Of treatment and it is wholly out
of gratitude for what has been done for them
and laudible desire to benefit their fellow
beings that actuates these patients.

81 have been troubled for FIVE years with
catarrh, which believe was caused by inhalirg
alkili dust. All the annoying symptoms seemed
to be present in my case. AT times my suf-
ering was almost unbearable. MY head panied
me over my eyes and back part of my head.
These pains were so severe at times that my
head would become dizzy.
"My eyes grew weak; was compelled to
give up reading by lamp light.for when did so,
il but for few minutes. everything would be-
come blurred and my head would begin TO ache
SO tina had TO give up trying to read at night.
My nose was continually stopped up, the mucus
would collect in my throat and had to hack
and spit 80 much that my throat became irri-
tated and SORE and a hoarsness would gener-
ally follow
my lungs began to feel weak and tired
which caused me to believe that the disease
was slowly extending down the bunical tuber.
My sleep was broken; felt tired all the time;
I did not feel refreshed as ought TO in the
morning. / have treated only short time with
Drs. Mansfield and DeMonco and the change in
my condition is remarkable. l am feeling bet
ter than | have for several years, All the for
mer annoying symptoms are gradually leaving

q small cost, so that all who suffer. either rich
or poor need not hesitate to call on them, as
have found Drs. Mrns field and DeMonco te be
both honest and skllful in their good work"

An Authority on Tea

Count Rumford, great authority, in
speaking of tea, says: ''When tea is taken
with sufficient quantity of sugar and
good cream, and with large quantity of
bread and butter, or with toast and boiled
eggs, and above all, when it is not drunk
too hot, it is certainly less unwholesome;
but a simple infusion Of this drug, boiling
hot. as the poor usually take it, is GER
tainly poison, which, though it is some
times slow in its operation, never fails to
produce fatal effects, even in the strong
est constitutions, where the free use of it
is continued for considerable length OF
time.
Some of the most eminent scientists OF
the present day, after many years of OBJ
servation, have come to the conclusion
that Rumford' S doctrine is sound.-Neeo

THE LATE SENATOR KENNA.
His Hunting Adventures and the Book He
Had Planned.

His Hunting Adventures and the Book He
Had Planned.
Senator Kenna's death has robbed the
boys OF the United States of one of the
most interesting books that has ever been
planned for their amusement. Senator
Kenna was great lover of children, and
he could hold the attention of boys for
hours by telling them stories of his hunt
ing adventures. He was great hunter,
and he spent large part of every summer
out in the Wilds OF West Virginia. Many
of his friends at Washington have re-
ceived presents of game from him, and he
could shoot straighter and kill more deer
than any other man in Washington.
He was one of the best amateur photo
graphers in the United States, and ne left
hundreds OF snap shots which he had ia
ken in the mountains of hunting scenes,
and the negatives representing these are
classified and stored away in his library.
For many years he had been taking pho
tographs, and his pictures represent all
sorts of hunting and fishing and they are
said to be the finest collection OF the kind
in the country. During the past summer
he planned book for boys. which was
to consist of his stories of hunting and
sporting, and was to have been illustrated
DX IneSe pictures, ana IL was TO nave DeSu
entitled ga Book for My Boys.' The
region in which Senator Kenna lived was
picturesque one, and he had scores of
photographs of his children and also
many of his brother senators. One of the
finest pictures that was ever taken of the
late Senator Beck of Kentucky was made
by Senator Kenna. 1t represents Senator
Beck sitting on a great oak tree, with his
dog beside him, and the picture IS most
lifelike.
The most OF Senator Kenna7s pictures
are instantaneous ones, aud it was long
hope OF his that he would be able to pho
tograph deer on the jump. At one time
he had made all his arrangements for a
photograph of this kind. There was a
deer in the bushes, and it's only way out
was through a narrow gorge where it
would have to jump stream. KeDna
had the boys so into the bushes to start
UP the deer, and he had his hand on the
bulb ready to press it when the deer
should appear. AS he heard it passing
through the brush, however, the spirit Of
the hunter overrode that Of the photogra-
pher, and he dropped the camera and
picked up his gun, and as the deer sprang
forth he killed it. In speaking OF this
not long ago he regretted very much that
he had lost the picture Washington Star.
