The attempt TO orgaLizs within the ranks

The government of China has ordered
that all soldiers and others who have taken
part in assaults on Christian missionaries
in Chinese territory, and especially all
who were implicated in the murder of
Rev. James Wyiie, shall be beheaded. The
same edict further orders that all the
chapels and other missionary property. or
property belonging TO foreigners, which
has been destroyed shall be made good by
the people Of the district where the de-
struetion took place. This is as full a
measure of rcparation as could well be
made. and proves that China intends to
live up to her treaty agreements as far as
possible.

ARMY CHANGES
The Main Dedy of the Troops to BE
Moved Fast

SpokRns srok e q an Review.
There Is q prospect Of change soon IN
the military of the West No orders have
been issued yet and nothing definite has
been given ous in any way. but the United
States army officers at Fort Sherman be-
iieye the time has come when an impor-
tant epoch in their lives is At hand IL
rumors that bear the stamp of truth are
true. not only the department Of the Co
lumbia viii be affected, but the department
OF California as well, and also the depart
nents in the Northwest Middle states.
The first step in the changes has already
been taken, Jet Just where 1t will lead 20
probably no one is definitely informed,
nevertheless IL is an important move IN
the management of the United States army.
The United States recruiting stations at
Columbus, o.. and Dayid's Island, n. u.
have been abandoned as recruiting sta
tons and October will become garrisoned
forts. Ii is said that the Seventeenth in
fantry at Fort Russell, Wyo., will be
moved to the East 70 occupy these two
posts. Fort Russell will either be aban-
doned or troops taken from other forts.
probably those farther West. 10 garrison
it. It means either an increase OF the
United States army or the abandonment
of some Of the posts now occupied. Ii Is
feared by some that Forts Sherman and
Spokane will be abandoned and the
troops sent TO occupy the garrison at Fort
Russell.
With this comes the rumor that the
Department Of California, commanded by
Gen. Ruger, and the Department of the
Columbia, commanded by Gen. Otis, will
be consolidated and put under the COM
mand of Gen. Ruger. Gen. Otis, 1t 10 said,
Is to be assigned TO the detail of officers
appointed 10 revise the book of military
tactics, which task will occupy about two
years.
IL appears to be the policy of the war
department now TO remove some OF the
regiments stationed in the West TO central
Eastern points. The days of indian wars
are past, and as the fear of uprisings
among the red-skinned tribes was one of
the principal reasons for garrisoning the
West. the need of isolated Western posts
seems, in the mind of the department., to
have closed. The congested East. where
labor and anarchistic troubles are worst.
seems the better point for the concentra-
ton of the army.
But only few. If any. of the Western
forts will be abandoned, and the prevails
ing idea in the department seems to be the
concentration of the Western troops at
some central point

HERE,s mo- ELS nEALTH.

AT the close of Mr.. Joseph Jefferson's
engagement at the Olympic theatre on
Saturday night a scene was enacted
which deserves a red letter setting in the
history of the local drama. Mr.. Jefferson
has always been favorite in st. Louis,
and as the years go by he seems to
grow deeper and deeper into the atec-
lions of the people. So ii happens that
with each recurring engagement there IS
a feeling that may be this Will De ms
last, and as the curtain goes down upon
the final act of the closing night tnere
is a demonstration of esteem which
might well flatter any public man.
Saturday night last the applause mad
been particularly emphatic and heartfelt.
Mr.. Jefferson had been called before the
curtain at the end of every act. Tears
and laughter had greeted his every point
in the telling character of Kip van
Wrinkle, until the auditors felt they had
a personal interest in the welfare OF the
hayward and good natured vlllager-
Finally, when the last words had been
said, the audience arose and shouted un-
til Mr.. Jefferson walked from behind the
curtain and took a position in the cen
ter of the stage. There. clad in the rags
and patriarchal beard and hair of the
storied Rip, Mr.. Jefferson, amid oppres-
sive silence, said:
II am deeply grateful for this renewed
indication of your favor and of your ap-
You don't know how much I cherish the
applause of St. Louis. A gentleman OF
your city called on me the other day,
and l see no reason why / should not
state that the man was Professor VALID
auer OF the Conservatory of Music, and
he said to me: DO you know, old
friend, that it is just fifty years ago to-
night since you made your first appear
ance before the st. Louis public?' And
it proved to be a fact Think of what
that meansl Why. 1 have entertained
your mothers and your grandmOthers-
possibly your reat-garndmothers-a nd
yet here l am, preserved in some mysteri-
GUS way, in health and strength. to enter
tain you. l thank you again for your
appreciation and compliments"
Fifty years is a long while to stand
before the public and keep faith with it,
but no man can say that Mr.. Joseph
Jefferson Tags superfiuous." His Rip
Van Wrinkle is a finer picture today than
it was twenty years ago, when it was
considered to be at the height of its
beauty and power. The pathOs and
humor of it are in stronger contrast now,
/ perhaps, because of the actors own per-
sonality, than ever before, and it's shafts
go home as quick and as sure as in the
earlier days.
| So there is somehow in every household.
| year after year, a sort of prayer that
Mr.. Joseph Jefferson may have a serene
and happy old age, and that himself
and his family may lif long und bros

THE SEA GULL IN UTAH.
His Heart Warmed Toward the
"Sons of Zion.o


"Sons of Zion.v
Most interesting of the birds that we
saw On our daily way to the pasture,
says writer in the Atlantic, were the
gulls-great, beautiful, snowy creatures
who looked strangely out of place so
far away from the seashore. Stranger,
too, than their change of residence was
their change of manners, from the wild,
unapproachable sea birds, soaring and
diving and apparently spending their
lives on wings. From this high place
in our thoughts, from this realm of
poetry and my story, to come down al
most to the tameness of the barnyard
fowl, is marvellous transformation,
and one is tempted to believe the sol
emn announcement of the Salt Lake
prophet that the Lord sent them to his
chosen people. The occasion of this al
legged special favor to the Latter-day
Saints was the advent about twenty
years ago of clouds of grasshOppers,
before which the crops of the western
states and territories were destroyed
as by fire. 1t was then, in their hour of
greatest need, when the food upon
which depended a whole people was
threatened, that these beautiful winged
messengers appeared. In large focks
they came, from no one knows where
and settled like so many sparrows all
over the land, devouring almost without
ceasing the hosts of the foe The crops
were saved, and all Deseret rejoiced
Was it any wonder that a people train
ed to regard the head of their church
as the direct representative of the high
est should believe these birds to be
really birds of God, and should accord
ingly cherish them? Well would it be
for themselves if other Christian peo-
pies were equally believing and pro-
tected and cherished other winged mes
sengerS sent just as truly to protect
their crops. The shreWd man who
welded the destinies of his people be
side the salt lake secured the future
usefulness of what they considered the
miraculous visitation by fixing pen
atty of S. upon the head Of every gull
in the territory. And now, the birds
having found congenial nesting
places on solitary islands in the lake,
their descendants are so fearless ana
so tame that they habitually follow the
pillow like a flock of chickens, rising
from almost under the feet of the in
different horses and settling down at
once in the furrOw behind, seeking out
grubs and larvae and mice and moles
that the plow has disturbed in it's pas
sage. The Mormon cultivator has sense
enough to appreciate such service, and
no man or boy dreams of lifting a finger
against his best friend. Extraordinary
indeed was this sight to eyes accus-
toned to seeing every bird that at
| tempts to render such like service shot
and shared and swept from the face OF
| the earth. Our hearts warmed toward
| the tSons of Zion,'' and our respect for
| their intelligence increased as we hur-
ried down to the field to see this latter
day wonder.

TO TRUST OR NOT TO TRUST.
A Few Facts for Business Men of All
Grades.

No one question of business is so i'm
portant to the tradesman in general
and to the retail grocer in particular
as that of giving credit.
Fifty years ago the grocery trade was
greatly barter trade. The grocer
was generally merchant as well, and
eggs, butter, and farm produce gen
orally, were traded for needed gro
ceries, clothing and household supplies.
Twenty years ago, in city groceries
but little of this was seen, says Trade.
The country merchant as a rule carried
a less varied assortment of general sup
plies, and his city brother limited his
stocks to groceries or to groceries and
provisions alone.
AS the bartering of one class of goods
for another became more and more
thing of the past, and goods pur-
chased were paid for in money, came
the greater demand for credit The
farmer was almost without ready
money at certain seasons Of the year,
and deemed it but right that his gro
Ger should carry him" until the time
when his growing crops should be con-
verted into cash, and happy the gro
Ger who was not obliged to discount
a few dollars to make "even money"
or let a portion Of the bill stand until
| Cater"
L
existed. Salaried men of nearly every
grade were paid monthly. Looking for
ward to the coming pay day, they ran
up a monthly bill at the grocer'S. Of
tentimes, it IS true, this bill was
promptly met. But in too many cases
while purchasing goods on credit there
was the temptation to indulge in lux
uries beyond their modest means, and
when rent and doctors bills and other
items were paid for and the grocer's
turn came always the lasD there could
| not be sufficient money spared to meet
| the bill. The grocer was asked to let
/ the balance remain until the following
month, when it would surely be paid.
Every grocer has found to his sorrow
through bitter experience that man
who can't pay one months bill certain
| ly can't pay two, however good his in
tentions may apparently be. Everyone
knows the rest of the story. The bal
ance grows larger each month The
( grocer hasn't the courage to "shut
down. lest he lose the whole bill Thus
the customer is carried along from
month to month. sometimes for years,
| until sickness or death makes it impos-
1 sible to pay, or the customer, uneX-
/ pectedly, with his family and chattels
folds his tent like the Arab and as
silently steals away" Perhaps the gro
| Ger may locate him later, but il is sell
| dom that such bill is paid in full.
| Another customer, perhaps almost as
! much dreaded by the grocer, is the
/ ''three-month'S man." That is the man
who is able to pay, but having his
money invested in business, invariably
! let's his grocery bill run for three
| months, to gain the interest thereon.
/ These two classes have really no con-
nection with the regular beat"
! dreaded by every grocer in the United
! States who gives credit.

ANOTHER SUICIDE.
JOHN C. LYNCH, An OLD TIMER,
KILLED HIaIsELF YESTERDAY.
He Had Been Drinking, aud Was De-

This FamiIy-Found by His Moth
err.

John C. Lynch, who has been well
known as one of the employees of the
Walker house for years, was found yes
terday at OF clock by his mother, lying
on his bed with a bullet through his
brain. He had been drinking Tor some
time and had been in a despondent frame
of mind Friday night his brother, WIN
Lynch, who is day porter at the walker
House had a talk with MIN over the
error of his drinking and aSkeu tlsiit
when the condition would end Inc uIllOt-
tunate man promised that he would aSs.ln
become master of his consuming unlrSt
and that the change should take pace
that night. He went home at a rather
late hour and went to his room Hls
mother heard nothing from him al night,
nor during yesterday, but had no rear, as
she thought he was sleeping OF the eIIeCtS
of his drinking. But at about O'Clock,
thinking he should be awakened she went
to his room and was met by the Shasiy
sight of her son lying with MS brains
oozing out from the pistol shot IN ms lore
head.
He left no note of farewell for those
who had watched over his welfare all
the years of his life, but his soul escaped
from the mortal tabernacle without any
preparation except his own respondent
and desperate thoughts. For this reason
the blow has almost broken the heart of
his mother and she is now nearly pros
trated by grief.
This is the second time the members
of this family have been called on 10
mourn the suicide of one of the boys, as
several years ago one Of the brothers OF
this man took his life in fit OF desponq-
ency Both were well known here. as their
father came to Salt Lake in the early
days and was clerk of the district court
All the old settlers remember Patrick
Lynch, and their sympathy will go out TO
the bereaved family.
