The Meeting May Be Postponed to soms'
 Later Date.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9s.-The proposal of Mexico to hold monetary conference of countries of North and South America is not as yet advanced So the meeting can be held in October as con. templated. Invitations were issued last March. Since then some South Ameri- can countries have accepted. The United States has as yet neither ae- cepted nor declined, but it is hardly likely to accept at this late day. It is felt now the time set for tho conference was too soon after invitations, and this may lead to an extension of the date so the United States and other countries may have time to accept if so desired,

How Canadians and E>quImaux Manage
Their Canine Courssrs.
Mr.. Cameron in his talk with a re-
porter told of the dogs that are used
for sledging during the winter in the
Northwest territories of Canada.
Six or eight dogs are used on each
sledge. They are fed only once in
twenty-four hours. and that is in the
morning before the start is made, and
after the dogs are in harness. At
that time about four pounds OF frozen
fish are given to them. Everything
must be in readiness for the start,
and the men must look to it that they
are at hand to jump on the sledges,
for at the very instant that the last
morsel of fish disappears the dogs are
off at break-neck speed. Strange as
it may seem, the drivers do not dare to
feed the dogs unless they are in har-
ness Otherwise they would scatter,
and nothing more would be seen OF
them. They are driven with one long
rein attached to the leader.
A whip with very short handle and
a very long lash is used to urge them
on, though in most cases they need no
urging, for they seem to feel that the
faster they go the quicker they will
come to the post where food and
warmth and a lazy life await them
They travel often as far as ninety
miles day.

Why La H.

'It is somewhat curious thing"
observed a commercial traveller. that
even the most fastidious individual
who will reject with Indignation a
tumbler that had been used by another
diner at hotel, will not hesitate to
drink out of cup or glass on rail
way train, although it may have been
used by thousands of persons, many
of them of not over cleanly habits.
The same thing applies to the per-
sons who use the ice-water coolers in
public buildings or hotels. Why then
should SO much fastidiousness be dis
played by persons at hotel or other
table as to the use of tumbler from
which single person had previously
drank?"

The Most Wonderful aA the WcnRtd are
Located In Utah. %.,
Two of the most wonderful stalac-
tite caves in the world are located
within the territory of Utah-one five
miles south of Toquerville and the
other twenty-five miles west of St
George. Neither is remarkable on
account of size, and to the best OF my
knowledge the dignifying title OF cav
ern' has never been bestowed on
either of the two. They simply come
within the category of wonderful be-
cause of the immense number OF stall
actites, of various sizes and colors
which depend from their roofs The
first, the one near Toquerville, is
known as LA Virgin" @ld the other
by the name of To- "Black Warrior. !"
The Virgin was discovered a few years
ago by the contractor of an irrigating
company, who was also engaged in
driving tunnel through a mountain
called LA Virgin RSnch" for the pur-
pose of tapping the river beyond.
When the light was first let into this
wonderful underground chamber the
effect is said to have been startling,
the roof and floor glittering with
cubes and points of crystal alum and
the roof studded with millions of rain
bow-colored stalactites.
The "Black Warrior" cave is coun-
terpart of the Virgin and was discov-

RICH FAMILIES IN AMERICA,

Astors and ths Vandorbilts Control Be-
tween Them Hundreds of Millions.
A careful estimate of the wealth of
the Astors puts it at $500. .OO0o, 900, and
this makes the family the richest in
the United States. What is more, the
wealth of the Astors is in such shape
that it cannot but increase, for the
reason that it is Rilt-edged New York
City real estate, some of which has
within the past ten years increased IN
value 700 per cent and is still appreci-
ating. The policy of the Astors has
always been to buy real estate on the
lines along which New York City is
now extending and hold it for rise,
rarely selling, however, but building
and renting instead. The result Is
that the Astor properties are in valua-
BILE lands. in brick, iron, stone and
mortar instead of in huctuating stocks
and bonds, the fixed value of which is
always uncertain. AS a family the
Vanderbilts stand next to the Astors
in the matter of wealth, and then
riches must be considered in the
aggregate and in common, since Their
individual fortunes are pooled, so tc
speak You will often see Cornelius
Vanderbilt, the present head OF the
house, quoted as being worth 5000,
O0O, 900. OF course he is not worth
any such am cunt. Cornelius has mos
of theVander bilt millions, but those
who know say that he is personally
not worth above $50, 900, 900, if a.
much.

Chinese OmcIaIa.

A Chinese mandarin is not expected

10S Meters and water Meters, Why
Not Ice Mstors7
1t was left to a Kansas City man to
foil the ice man, another prolific sub
ject for the funny men who write for
comic papers seems doomed. w. b.
Dickson, who by profession, is at the
sad of a school of shorthand, and in
cidentally is an author and inventor,
was recently granted patent for an
ice meter, to be attached to refrigera-
tors. 1t is to be known as the Dickson
ice meter. BY it's use the consumer
will no longer be at the mercy of the
ice man and the ice man will no longer
be compelled to listen to the COM
plants of his customers. The device
weighs the ice as it is day by day put
into the ice box and registers the
weight of each days purchase on a
months register, SO that at the end OF
the month look at the register will
show the exact number of pounds used
during that period. 1t indicates the
exact number of pounds of ice remain
ing in the refrigerator at any time OF
the day, enabling the owner to know
whether or not it is necessary to order
ice. There are also other advantages
attached to the use of the meter. Mr..
Dickson has received numerous in
Quiries about his invention and ha.
been offered q fiattering sum for it.

When the captain of the steamship
ALBANIA, from Dundee. came into port a
few weeks ago and told a yarn about
y ball OF fire doing insane things about
the decks of his ship. there were some
people who heard the tale with scorn,
and others who wrote poetry about it.
And now here cSfnes another Dundee
skipper who tells of a similar electric
display.
He is Captain Lord, of the British
steamer Croma, which lately arrived
in New York from Dundee. Captain
Lord says his ship encountered heavy
weather from the start. Seas beat
high, and the barometer dwarfed it.

That night there was a succession OF
hail squalls, and the captain asserts
that during each squall every mast
head. yard-arm and gaff were ablaze
with composantS, or st. Elmo's lights,
as mariners prefer to speak of them
They came and went as the squalls
blew a. nd subsidized. and, as these lasted
throughout the night, the ship was
several times illuminated with dancing
tips of FIRE.
The ship during this time was driv-
ing before the gale with engines
stopped. She was lightly laden, and
the seas were swinging SO high that il
was found necessary to stop the en-
Rines to check the frightful racing o.
the propellers. Waves constantly
dashed over the ship, and one of the
vessels crew was badly injured by be
ing thrown to the deck.
Toward morning the wind fell light
and then came in ftful gusts. Their
the lightning got in its play, and fol
an hour or two the ship was in per
feet blaze of sheet lightning.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-07-31

General Superintendent Bancroft was
In town yesterday, and is feeling some
what under the weather from his forced
sojourn upon the road recently. A
Herald man accosted him yesterday in
reference to a statement going abroad
TO the effect that General Manager
Dickinson had issued positive orders TO
all division officers to not, under any
consideration, allow any of the strikers
to go back to work on the system. To
this MIR. Bancroft replied:
Il can say that Mr.. Dickinson has
not, to my knowledge, yet issued any
such stringent and far reaching order,
reading as you put it. There may be
certain individual cases worthy of
leniency owing to certain peculiar con-
ditions surrounding them at the time,
and mayhap governing certain en-
ployees, and when carefully investi-
gated, might result in such few cases,
in the employees being again put back.
OF such facts the division officers
would, in time, be cogniZant, and to
them would give all due attention. A
moments thought will suffice to show
the officers on the different divisions
all have clear understanding of the
premises, even in detail, and will govern
themselves accordingly, but no such
order as that, in its entirety, has been
issued by the general manager"
So much for that report.
