FOR KILLING "THE GOSsoON."
Charles Sweeney Sentenced to Eight
Years Imprisonment.

Years Imprisonment.
Charles Sweeney, the ex-baseball-player.
who was recsntly tried and convicted of
manslaughter for the killing of Con Nc
Manus, the "gossoon," was rewarded yes
terday with a sentence of eight years
Imprisonment.
The circumstances under which Nc
Manus met his death we're such as to war
rant an extremely careful investig
before deciding upon the extent OF
Sweeney's guilt. Added to this was the
testimony of Joseph Mcdonald, the prin-
cipal witness for the prosecution In the
POllee Court preliminary eXamin alton, but
In the trial before Judge w allace and a
jury the principal witness for the defense
Mcdonald on the latter occasion retracted
all his previous testimony and said that
he had been inundated by the dead
mans brother, king" McManus of Po-
trero fame, into giving a version of the
story that would insure Sweeney's conyic-
ton. 1t was difficult to know which story
to believe, as two witnesses subsequently
testified that Mcdonald had cOnfided to
them that he had seen Sweeney kill Nc
Manns, and that 1t was a cold-blooded
murder.
The jury took long while to come to a
decision in the case, and had to stay out
the whole of one night Eventually a ver-
dict of manslaughter was returned. Judge
Wallace made very few comments on the
case in passing sentence yesterday. He
said that taking all the circumstances OF
the case into consideration, while it was a
fact that Sweeney's plea of self-defense
had not been established, in his opinion
justice would be satisfied with the imposi-
ton of sentence of eight years impriso on
ment. This sentence, with good conduct,
means actual Imprisonment for only five
years and four months.

through the day that should cause anxiety
and dasira for nrnrnnt raliof

through the day that should cause anxiety
and desire for prompt relief
When the nerves and the blood have
thus become so badly nourished and the
strength thus reduced, food-food appro-
pirate for building up the nervous tissue
and rest, are the plain and simple means.
In fact, the only means of restoring vigor
and health. All the material so urgently
needed by the million of exhausted nerve
cells and by the thin, depleted blood are
found in that remarkable invigorator, that
food for the brain and nerves, Paine's
celery compound. 1t fills the nervous ana
muscular tissues all over the BODY with
the means of rapid growth, the blood gains
new red corpuscles and grows rudy and
capable of thoroughly feeding the body.
The strength returns, and headaches, dys-
pepSia, neuralgia and nervous debility dis
appear when the tone OF the system has
been thus raised and The body abundantly
supplied with fresh, life-givlng blood.
The very first week in which this perfect
nerve food, Paine's celery compound, is
conscien tiOusly employed it will declare
its tonic effect by the feeling of returning
strength, marked increase in the appe-
lite. freedom from pain and depression.
Paine's celery compound cures radically
and permanently rheumatism. heart weak
ness, diseases of the liver and the kidneys,
and encourages the excretory organs to
expel whatever impure bumors there may
be in the blood. This is evident by the
healthier, clearer condition of the skin
that physicians say invariably follows
when they prescribe Paine's celery COM
pound. as they SO commonly do where the
body needs building up, and when recov-
cry is slow after acute disease.
Here is the experience of Mrs. E. l..
Wing of Putney, VT, told in her own
words:
Il had been afflicted with rheumatism
and neuralgia for many years. In a year
and half | have taken eight bottles of
Paine's celery compound, and have not
been so free from these troubles in fifteen
years as l am now. ! advise all who are
atf1icted in any way with rheum atism or
neuralgia to use Paine'S celery compound.
For the nerves and tired feelings, /
think 1t is the best dose of am bition that 1
have ever found. Before | had taken one
bottle | felt almost like another person.
Other medicines have given me only tenn
| porary relief. But the compound has done
me more permanent good than the doctors
| or any other medicine, and | can hardly
| feel grateful enough for the benefit that [
| have derived from its USE"

THE TRADES COUNCIL.
1t Will Probably Send a Delegate to
Denver.

The Trades Council held its regular
weekly meeting last night at 1853 Mission
street.
The greater part of the session was oc-
cupied with discussion as to whether or
not the local council should send dele
gate to the labor congress which meets in
Denver, Colo, December 10. 1t was urged
in it's favor that as the congress was to be
held as far West as Denver it would ap-
pear as though organized labor was dead
in San Francisco if a represen tative were
not sent. The greater part of the dele
gates to the local council were willing that
a per capita assessment should be levied
for his expenses, and it was decided to
elect the delegate at The meeting on No.
vember % provided no serious opposition
is encountered. The American Federation
of Labor platform will also come up for
discussion then.
The stage employees reported that they
had declared a boycott against a theater
because the management would not pay
union rates.
w. E. Kelly was elected vice president
of the council.
A short executive session was held, ard
after transactlng some routine matters
the meeting adjourned.

of growing old and careworn from the
struggle with dust and the neglect of their
tired, aching nerves, and pale watery

THE SAILORS HOME.
The Seaman's Friend Society in Favor
for a Long Lease.

The Health and Police Committee of the
Board of Supervisors yesterday decided to
report IN favor OF leasing the old building
Of the sailors Home 20 the Ladies' Sea-
mans Friend Society for five years. A.
Furuseth, secretary of the Sailors Union,
was before the committee and opposed the
lease. He said the home as conducted
was not charitable institution in any
sense OF the word; that as conducted it
was disgrace to the city, just as was the
similar Institution in Boston and that in
New York to those cities: that they do not
differ from the average sailor boarding
houses, except that there is no liquor sold ;
that sailors were taken ashore in violation
of the Revised Statutes of the United States.
and that they were shipped from the
home in violation of the Douglas act. He
thought that the ladies had better be in
charge, however, than the average board
ing-nousekeepers.
The committee decided to confer with
the Chief of Police before doing ANYTHING
further with the ordinances proposed bv
the Anti-Vice Society.

There is much significance in the APP
pointn1ent of Prof W. ]. Kerr to the
position of President of the B. Y. Col
ilege at Logan. By his acceptance OF
This new honor, the University of Utah
loses one Of its most efficient professors,
and the College gains the services of a
man who is not only a mathematician
with talents that are recognized in the
colleges of the east, but who is consid-
cred by many in this region to have no
superior as an educator. Besides these
two great qualifications for the presi-
Dental office, he possesses rare execu-
tive ability, Of which all testify who
have had any acquaintance with him
personally or officially.
! While it may be difficult for the Uni
versity to supply the department of
mathematics with another teacher Of
his quality, we believe the educational
interests of the territory at large, and
Eventually of the University itself, will
be immeasurably advanced through
his appointment.
Say that the department of mathe-
matics may suffer a temporary incon-
venience through the change; if at the
same time there is built UP in Logan a
splendid secondary school. that while
advancing and terrifying the general
interests of higher education, will
every year turn out ten, twenty or
forty well prepared candidates for the
higher departments of the University,
the latter institution will receive
through the change a benefit more
than equivalent to its losses.
The B. Y. College is already an ex-
cenent school, probably second only to
the University. Through the efficient
leadership of Prof. Tanner, and after
wards of Prof. Paul, the College has
thoroughly demonstrated it's rights to
the confidence of its supporters.
But this is a new era in its existence,
which, with due appreciation for the
struggles of the past, is full of fresh
promises. With it's large endowments
and the devoted support of its numer-
Gus friends, its future has as bright an
appearance as that of any college in
the west.
The HeraId's wish for it is that it
will grow so great as to cause every
other county in the territory to initiate
its example and duplicate its prosper
Iity. We congratulate Prof. Kerr and
the College on his installation.

Q. G. RICHARDS.

Hon Charles c. Richards was elected
chairman of the territorial Democratic
committee in the early summer of 1892.
Since that time there have been two
hard-foug1t campaigns, the first OF
which has not been surpassed in this
territory in respect of the intensity of
the struggle and the consequent labor
entailed upon the committees in charge.
Chairman Richards has proven himself
to be indefatigable in labor, wise in
counsel, far-seeing in judgment and
enthusiastic and unfinching in his de
votion to the great truths of Democ-
racy. 1t was a fitting recognition of
his great services to the cause that the
convention OF yesterday, representing
the Democratic constituencies of this
territory, rendered him a unanimous
expression Of gratitude for the fidelity
with which he has acted his important
part. To these expressions Of congratu-
lation we desire to add our own. "Well

COUNTY DISTRICT SCHOOLS.

While the city district schools have
been making rapid advancement and
have received deserved recognition
from the press and the public, it will
be found on inquiry that the district
schools of. the county have also adj

comiun1s.
This will be determined, no doubt, at
the first public exercises of those
schools in the aggregate, which will
take place at the Salt Lake theatre on
Monday, June IS, at 1880 a. M The
programme will be found in another
part of this paper. Friends of educa-
ton will do well to attend these exer-
cises, which will be found highly inter
esting and will be evidence of the prog
ress made in the schools outside of
this city in Salt Lake county.
County Superintendent Allen has
been a diligent and energetic public
officer, and this beginning of annual

schools is due to his endeavors. He
