which the importers did not anticipate.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-To the disappoint-
ment of a large audience the colts
were twice defeated today. The first
was a pitchers battle, captured by the
Giants in the seventh on Dahlen's FUN

men were out.
In the second the visitors played a
perfect fielding game, while the locals
gave Griffith very ragged support, pre-
senting the New Works with six OF
their runs on all kinds of fumb.ing
and wild throwing. The game was call
ed on account of darkness, after the
Chicagos had been retired in the last

demonstrated, and no doubt they will
again be felt tonight with a generous
attendance. This piece, with Its STIR

of old elements or not, it has definite
and interesting plot that is closely fol
lowed by the audience and its denGu-
ment anticipated with great Interest,"
Much of this interest is due to the skill
of the performers. To the Kentucky
colonel of Burt @. Clark, who sus-
tanned the part in the presentation
which lasted so long at the Academy
of Music in New York, have been add
ed a really good company, and some Of
them of exceptional merit. We still
apprecia tie the excellence of Mr.. Walter
Edwards in the role Of Joe Leror. and
an opportunity arose last night of test
ing his cleverness in Gn emergency.
The rope, which was to have upheld
the bridge over a dizzy chasn broke
and let the bridge fall into place as it
should not have done. The night be-
fore and always previously it hung in
midair, and it was the duty of Joe to-
cut it "a la Lafayette) and destroy the
bridge This time, the whole scheme
was disarranged, but Mr.. Edwards
saved the situation by dashing up the
rocks and thrusting the bridge head
long out of sight. Few knew that it
was an impromptu adventure and the,
act terminated all right. For the last

The Nominntive franchise.

AS the time for the election of delegates
to the constitutional convention draws
near more and more interest Is being
taken, anud should be, in all that pertains
to correct plan of government and the
preservation of the rights of the people
As a suggestion that is not unworthy of

which was presented to the legislature
many years ago, endorsed at that time by
S60 citizens, and has since been brought
before almost every territorial assembly
by Mr.. Sidney Hudson of this city:

NoIninaIive Franchise.
To the Honorable Legislative Assembly
Of the Territory of Utah, Greeting:
We, your petitioners, respectfully repre-
sent that there is no law, within our
knowledge. that defines either how, when,
or where to commence political repre-
sanitation, and, consequently, we, as indi-
yiduals, and the people as communities,
/ find ourselves at each recurring election
tunprepared and unable to make necessary
governmental To nominations on the basis of
individual representa- ton.
Therefore, to make it possible for all
citizens to meet with their peers al a fixed
time and place to select governing depu-
ties BY majority vote of all citizens tfey
your honorable body to establish BY law
fTeSuldT dIlu conventions IN
each school district in the territory.
k(where minority as well as majority rep
resentation will operate naturally for the
election of school officers, also for the ap-
Epointment Of primary deputies to annual
precinct conventions for the election of
precinct officers also for the appointment
for their own body Of deputies to county
conventions, and SO on. repeating the pro-
| cess through q succession of annual fixed

completely organized on the basic princi-
pie Of Individual and personally selected

independently take hold of the helm of

DEATH OF A. L.. POLLOCK.
The Report That Reached Washing

A special to The Herald from Wash
lington last night announce 5har It
was rumored at the capital tina. Alex
ander L. Pollock, United States consul
to San Salvador and late ee this city,
was dead While no details were given,
the wording of the dispatch left little
room for doubt as TO the accuracy cf
the report.
Mr.. Pollock was q native IF Hungary,
but came to this country when :. Youth,
and at once entered the Union army,
serving with distiacti0n during the war
of the rebellion. lie was severely
wounded towards the close of the war,
and afterwards neld IN important p0- !

and 1T was there that he married. M
Pollock was engaged more or less in
journalistic work while in Washington.
at Omaha, where he established a
weekly paper and made considerable
money. He disposed of his paper and
accepted the position of managing edit
or of the Omaha Herald, Then owned
by DR.. Miller. In this capacity lie dis
played marked ability. The boom of a.
few years ago attracted him IN Salt
Lake, and he engaged in the real es-
tate business with f. w. Wilson, and
was quite successful. Afterwards he
took editorial charge of the Evening
Times, remaining there until 1891.
when he became managing editor Of
The Herald. In May, 1892, he leased the
Times, and made phenomenal success
of it until it became absorbed by the
Irrigation Age company.
In the summer of 1893 he was ap-
pointed by President Cleveland as con-
sui at San Salvador. and with his fam
lily left for that post late in the fall.
Since then his friends in this city have
jheard from him occasionally and it
was understood that he would shortly
come here on a short vaca ton. No ons
here was aware of his illness; hence
the news of his death will be a great
shock.
Mr.. Pollock was man of scholarly
attachments. of good business and ex-
ecutive ability. and his genial nature
won for him many friends. He leaves
