A SUMMER PIAZZA.
Aids to Grateful Rest For Warm
Days to Come.

Days to Come.
To quote our friends OF the Emerald
Isle, the most important thing in a.
country home Is the piazza which is
outside Of it, and the fitting of this out
door parlor is an important item.
writes Mrs. Garrett Webster in a prac-
ticle article on Furnishing a Summer
Home in the May Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. The porch should contain at least
two stout and serviceable hammocks,
swung from strong and properly placed
hooks Equally necessary is it that
each hammock shall be provided with
at least two cushions and afghans of
light and heavy weight. The cushions
are most serviceable when covered
with bright bandanna kerchiefs. tur-
key red cotton or blue denim made with
a double ruffie, and. if the time for its
working can be spared, with the name
of the house embroidered thereon in
black on the red or white on the blue
material. The wraps may consist of
wooden afghans in gay colors and of
the cheap Italian or Mexican silk blan-
kets.
Next in Importance to the ham,
mocks and their accoutrements are the
porch chairs. At least four large rock
ers with broad arms will be required,
and to these should be added, if pos
sible, four smaller chairs innocent of
rockers. Two steady tables of what
ever fashion may be desired are i'm
portant requisites. A large fish net
tackled on to the walls of the house
forms convenient abiding place for
newspapers and novels. A couple of
jardinieres of cheap pottery with grow
ing plants therein, japanese rattan
screens as protection from the glare.
one or two inexpensive rugs, on which
are dropped half dozen covered cush-
ions, add beauty and luxury

Narrow Escape from a Fatal Wreck
OFF Lincoln Park.


Chicago. June AFTER having sailed
over 10000 miles without mishap, the Vi

honor On its return from the six months

The waves began to be formidable

rain were soaking the occupants of the

HER BROTHERS.
The Little Girl Thought She Had
Found Him.

| AS the train from Kansas City came
into the Union depot Friday evening,
a fashionably dressed lady and gentle
man stood just outside the gate, evil
IDENTIFY waiting for friends to come off
the train. Between them, and holding
| the hand Of each, stood little girl,
not over 5 years old.
| Mamma, is brother coming this
| time" she asked, with the eagerness
of sudden inspiration.
| The mother shook her head sadly and
| then glanced into her husbands eyes.
In an instant more the child dropped
the hands she was holding and darted
| through the gate before her parents
| could stop her. When the former
reached her, she had thrown her arms
around the neck of a manly little fell
and was sobbing.
"Oh. brother, did you come back?
Mamma didn't 'spect you tall It'll
just 'sprise her."
Meantime the little fellow struggled
to free himself from her embrace and
protested:
LIE go. 1 amt your brother. don't
know you an L don't want to be
Rugged.
Yes you be, brother. rs Tootsey, an
you do knows me-" insisted the little
girl, and her small arms refused to
be shaken from their grasp about her
meek.
Through their tears the parents ex-
planned to the father and mother of
the little boy that few months be-
fore they had lost a child closely re-
sembling the boy whom ''Tootsey'' had
mistaken for her brother, and had ex-
planned to her that brother had gone
away" AS the children were forcibIy
separated, the grief of the little girl
drew tears from all who crowded about
the weeping group.
Wont he never, never come back.

by the bystanders as the father carried
her up the central stairway in his arms.

The board of public works held
somewhat protracted session last
night, all members being present ex-
cept Mr.. Game. It was a special meet
ing called by President Doremus for
the purpose of considering and adopt
ing the supplemental contract with the
contractors ON the gravity outlet
sewer, in order that all Obstacles in
the way of the immediate resumption
of full operations on the system may
be removed.
By request of the president, City AT
torney Hoge was present and gave as
his opinion on the matter of bondsmen
that any modification of the contract
would release the sureties now On the
bond of the contractors, and it was
decided to request new bondSmen or
the signatures of the old. 'rhe amount
of the bond was fixed at $4,000.
The supplemental contract, drawn
up by Messrs. Doremus, Hoge and
Young, and embo1ying suggestions
from the city council, members of the
board of public works and the con-
tractors. was taken up and fully con-
sidered. Some amendments were made
be necessary for the contractors and
the city council to accApt the prov;s-
ions set out, file their new bond and
then resume operations with full
forces. Among ether things of import
ance but no special interest the sup
Elemental contract provides as follows:
By December /, 1894, the gravity
outlet sewer shall be 1omple-sd in its
entirety unless The city should order
another cessation of operations.
None but bona fide residents of Salt
Lake city shall be given employment
on the work, preference being given
to men of families and taxpayers The
employment of the men is to be sub
Ject to regulations prescribed by the
city council
The clause regarding estimates is so
modified that the engineer may give es-
Inmates on uncompleted work, provided
1t shall not exceed one half the cost of
the completed section being estimated
at the same time.
Although it will be necessary to start
the work of excavating in several
places at the same time, on account of
the water which will be encountered,
the contract provides that the CITY en-
gineer shall have charge of the work
and designate the places ready for ex-
caVation. This will effectually prevent
the scattering of the work from the in
tersection of Fifth South and State
streets to beyond the Davis county line.
There were several points purposely
left out of the contract the board TAX

nance and payments were between the

TAYL0Rs SUING FOR PEACE.
A Ruse That VIII Hardly Be Taken

In.
Linneus. Mo, June 4.--The latest turn
in the chase of the Taylor brothers,
who killed the Meeks family, is a let
ter from W. P. Taylor to parties in
Browning. This is confirmed by sever
al reliable men who have seen the let
ter and they say positively it is w. P.
Taylor's handwriting. The contents of
the letter have not been made public,
except small part and that is about
as follows:
IF the authorities will call in all the
pursuers and dogs, the Taylors will sur
render and stand trial. They claim
they are innocent and can prove it if
given a chance +"
This is believed by many to be
scheme to allay suspicion and stop the
hunt after the fugitives until they can
escape. Their terms are not likely to
be accented
