whom We're well known to Mr.. Park,
the latter consented 10 allow this.
1t may be remarked here that al
though all Of Wright's sche mes were of
such magnitude that that fact alone
might be enough, his appearance, his
explanations. and all else had such an
impression that no one doubted him.
Well. on Monday night he was up
quite late and for the first time with

QuaintanceS here, drank some liquor,
At o'clock Tuesday morn
ing he went to his room, but
returned down stairs an hour
later. took a drink or two, bought a
large bottle of whisky and left the
house. and since then he has not been
seen. On Tuesday morning, he failed
to meet Mr.. Park as agreed, and as
the hours went by, that gentleman be-
came a little anxious, but still did not
suspect that Wright had skipped or
that his intentions were not perfectly
honest. A search was made but no
trace of the man could be found, and
still his friends did not lose faith in
him. Yesterday afternoon, however,
when Wright was still conspicuous by
his absence, they were forced to admit
that it looked as though there was
something wrong. Just then the
strangest thing in the whole story hap
pened. Mr.. Park was at his store, when
two youths entered and gave him a
package, saying it was from Mr.
Wright. They then left, and when it
was opened it was found to contain
the identical diamond which Wright
had taken away on Monday. All that
was learned from the boys was that
Wright was in the mountains in this
vicinity, and that he would shortly
return and take the ring.
This. in brief, is the story, and it pre-
seTts some remarkable features
Wright came here a stranger, and yet
he seems to have impressed all who
met him with the idea that he was
all he claimed to be. The manner in
which he obtained the ring would GER
tainly show to the contrary, the meth
cd used being of the ordinary con-
fidence kind. But the return of it was
the act of an honest man after all,
and those who are familiar with the
facts simply say that the man is an
enigma ito them. Some think that
Wright will be back in a, few days and
carry out his gigantic plans, while
others now incline to the belief that
he is a crank, and will not be heard
OF again. But ait all events he is a
most remarkable man, be he crank or
inventor. and many there are VINO
would like to solve the problem which
his strange conduct has put before
them.
Another incident in his visit is the
fact that he met a young lady of high
standing While here, and was very at
tentive to her, but ne was in all things
the perfect gentleman. He seemed to
have plenty of money and spent it
freely, and while his bill at the hotel
is unpaid. he left effects that are
worth many times the amount of it.
At the hotel Wright registered from
Dallas. Tex, blit to one party he said
he was from Bridgeport, Conn, while
TO another he gave a different city as

Several of the shrewdest business
men in Salt Lake just now are engaged
In trying to figure out whether Charley
Wright is the greatest genius of mod
ern times in his knowledge of electric
ity and its production or stands at the
head Of the crank class.
There is a long and interesting story
behind all of this guessing. Some
months ago Mr.. E. E. Lanphere, a
prominent Chicago attorney, came to
Salt Lake for his health, and some
weeks ago he made trip to the Pu-
get sound country. While held there
by washouts, he made the acquaintance
of Mr.. Wright, who, it appears, was a
fellow passenger. Wright is man AZ
or 30 years of age, and those who have
met him here say that he is one of the
most fascinating men they ever came
in contact with. He is not perhaps g
handsome man, but his head and face
are remarkably attractive and his fea-
lures, when unveiled fairly beam with
deep intelligence Well. he finally con-
fided to Mr.. Lanphere that he had for
years been engaged in electrical re-
searches and had at last solved the
problem of its production in unlimited
quantities at a trif1ing cost; that he
hsSd patented his process and was al
ready III the possession Of sum OF
money so large that the mere mention
of it would be enough TO stagger the
average man. Then he went into de-
ttails somewhat, and 50 logical and clear

Mr. Wright stated that he had been

that suited him, with a view to estab-

THE LADY BARBER.

Before this newer age began
We thought the art tonsorial
Belonged by right of birth to man
From ages inmemorial
But she has come, with fixed intent,
To prove to all the nations
That man IS not pre-eTinent
In barber-ous operations.
Oh. shaving is a sweet delight
Since she the razor welded,
My heart unto her charms so bright
Has altogether yielded.
And, though she thinks it's only gush
My ecstasies amaze her.
hail her queen of comb and brush
And goddess of the razor.
Some day, with lather on my cheek
(Such is the plan / harbor)
shall courag eously seek
The hand of my fair barber.
But if she has already found
Some man to love and praise her
Her mo" would cut me- I'll be bounC
More deeply than her razor.

suit he wore at the age of 5, and a
little arm chair, the reduction of a
throne, all grouped with the baptismaI

ed that the span of Marie Antoinette,s

THE WAY TO KEEP A GIRL.
The best Way is to Make Her Roo,

There is no room in the house which
should be more carefully planned than the
servants room. The guest chamber does
not approach it in importance, for guests
nay come and guests may go and the
household survive, but on the staying OF
the servant depends the family welfare.
There that potentate must be wooed to re-
main by spreading all the attractions pos
sible before her.
This does not mean that the Persian rug
and the teakwood cabinet be brought into
her quarters. But it means that she
should have a room flooded with sunshine
and airy, for she is not at liberty to roam
from one part of the house to another
In search OF these things. 1t means that
she must have room as cosy and home
like as possible, for that room is her
home for the time being.
