be planned The Van Rensselaers, the
Kissams, and the Webbs are united in
resistance to this gilded conspicuous
ness. But so far it has not leaked out
that the motives of the new move is the
earnestness with which the Gould fam
lily are being repulsed from the breast
works of the Four Hundred. AS money
spenders no one found it possible to
get ahead of them, and the only re-
source was a concerted movement to
count money out altogether.
Some very extraordinary stories are
now being told about the scale on
which the Gould expenditures were
made George Gould himself mas been
conspicuous in the man milliners es-
Establishments service since his return
from the west. He bought a bonnet for
his wife that cost hundreds of dollars,
and his minute inspection of 'confec-
tion,' as he turned it abou t on his
fingers, showed that he knows how to
get the worth Of his money. What
Gould means to do now that his money
is not a. figure at all is a mystery. 1t
is a highly interesting contest, and all
society is watching it with interest.
Funny papers are funny in more
ways than one. Puck copyrights its
articles and cuts, and threatens prose
cution to anyone who shall steal
them.
Truth sends out proof sheet of the
best things in the paper for the use
of editors.'
Truth is mighty and will prevail.

And it was.

That projected railroad to the coast
is a great thing. But, let me see, was
not my friend Colonel Trumbo. mixed
up in a similar enterprise some years
ago, and didn't it fall through? Had
not the citizens surrendered the project
to Colonel Trumbo and others, the road
would doubtless have been Quilt ere
this. and been of incalculable benefit
to Salt Lake.
If the story as related in The Herald
the other day by a correspondent be
true-that two policemen were found
I'D a tree, peering, or endeaVoTfng to
peer through window, then 1t is high
time that there should be more sus-
pensions.
Kate Field and L have never been on
good terms since her nonsensical write
up of a performance at the theatel
here, now many moons ago, when she
paid more attention to the pattern eoi
the wallpaper than to the merits o.
the play, but I must stop long enough
to congratulate the lady on the goot
sense displayed by her in an address
before a temperance convention, an(
which was printed in The Herald OF
Friday. The article should be pasted
in the hat of every man and woman
and there are several hereabouts, wht
think that prohibition clause SHOULD
be put in the constitution Of the new
state of Utah. Kate said:
Maine men voted to let their house!
be searched and their personal libert!
infringed.
