at the opening exercises of the great inter
national Christian Endeavor society
1t is estimated that &C, 900 strangers are
in the city this morning and since the
partial resumption Of railroad traffic the
numbers are increasing, every incoming
train bringing large crowds.
The exercises today consisted of two
tremendous mass meetings. One was held
in Saengerfast hall and the other in a
big tent in the eastern part of the city.
The tent has a seating capacity Of TO-
600. The address of welcome was dellv
cred by Governor Mckinley. The gov
ernor was very cordially received and his
remarks vigorously applauded.
In the absence of President Clark who
was unable to be here on account of ill

500 trained voices and short addresses

In y Magnificent Railroad Scheme When
Utah Becomes % State
NEW YORK, July IA Washington
dispatch to a morning paper says: The
day the presidents signature is affixed
to the Utah admission bill will see the
launching of the greatest railroad enter
prise of the year. A transcontinental
scheme has been maturing and IS only
held back until Utah can be dealt with
a. a state. Behind the plan of de-
velOpment IS the wealth and in
huence of the Mormon church. With
the Quietness characteristic OF the
Mormon leaders, the surveys have been
made the estimates completed, the
sources OF the country carefully investi-
gated. The work is in such an advanc-
ed stage that the blue prints Of the en-
gineer's map are now here and ready to
use for construction purposes.
s'Ihe road surveyed and to be built ex-
tends from Salt Lake City southerly and
then westerly to a Pacific connection in
the Los Angeles country. If the con
nection cannot be made with the Santa
Fe in Southern California, then this
I tab road will be built through to the
coast But the probabilities are that a
traffic management viii be made with
the Santa Fs from the Needles through
to the coast
~The projectors Of the new road have
already sounded President Reinhart of
the Santa Fe and are TO have a formal
meeting with him Immediately after the
statehood bill IS signed
by reference to the map a branch of
the Union Pacific viii be seen reaching
southwardly from Salt Lake city toward
the coast country, but stopping short in
the midst Of the Sierras. The Mormons
have done better than that They have
laid out a route which is a marvel to the
engineers who have seen the profles.
They parallel the ridges instead of cross
ing them. They have tangents sixty and
seventy miles long. demonstrating that
what appears to be the longest way round
il really the shortest way to the coast
IN Southern Utah are anthracite coal
beds which exceed Pennsylvania by
one half, but which have until now en-
tirely escaped the Gentle railroad build
er. These coal fields will be pierced by
the new road.
"Bishop Clawson, Of the Mormon
church, is the active representative of
Zion in this project He is here and in
charge Of the lobby which has put the
statehood bill through to the presi-
dents hands smoothly. Associat-
ed with the bishop is Mr.
Trumbone, one Of the executors of the
Stanford estate. Cooperating with the
Mormons in the railroad and statehood
scheme is Col J. s Clarkson. who repre-
sents capital to be invested in the road,
and who VIII probably give his attention
TO the financiering of the road, retiring
from active politics.

~ twelve hours ago-she had pinned
on the brown hat, with its detected

That was all; but oh, the meaning
of it, 1t meant an end to the years
of weary waiting. 1t meant comfort
and happiness and rest and the full
6llment of countless lovely dreams
And it meant that an heir had been

Dolly's hands were not quite steady
that afternoon. when she fitted one
after another of the pretty hats over
her cousin Kitty's yellow bangs, and
Kitty was hard to please
You amt interested, Dolly; your

Robert is coming home? Amy told
me; they had a telegram He is the

Dolly bought another hat and
patiently laid the blue feathers
around it.
Maybe you'll be getting married

dropping plumes ssnow that Robert is
a rich man.
Dolly flushed and bent over the hats
on the counter
1T looks like it's time. Kitty went

But it was not of her pretty cousin
that Dolly thought now. she lay in
the hammock upder the low spreading
magnolia-tree down by the gate. She
was resting and thinking of the
biessedness of this new world that
had formed itself about her-the
world that held Robert all her own,
and a home that she would make
beautiful for him.
1t was twenty years since Robert,
standing by her under this very tree,
all in blossom then, had told her the
sweet story that every maiden must
