and the work was done.

learned that her case was exceptional,
however, as she was particular favori.e
with the public. The ordinary song and
dance actress averages only about S15 a
week. Salaries are something managers do
not like to divulge. However, learned
that some single specislties are paid as
high as 81, 600 week. For example, Cam
panni at Proctor's received 500 for every
time he went "on." AS he went ON twice
a day, that was $500 a day, or 81, 200 a
week. Cyril Tyler came very near the
same figure, as he was a great attraction
for the ladies. Capitaine was another high
salaried performer Another feature was
Gilmore's band Of 80 pieces, who gave an
hours concert every morning. The salary
list, then, reached very nearly five figures,
for on the same bill with the band was
the ballet of 81 imported dancers; also the
kiralfy dancers, a pantOlnime company
and IL other novelties.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-It was in Janu-
airy, 1869, and in Salt Lake City that !
first met and talked with Governor Leland
Stanford, whose name stands first on the
long mortuary roll Of the Fifty third con-
gross. The occasion was a peculiar one
and furnished the wits of the Mormon cap
ital with some fresh material for Jokes
Governor D1rkee was to start east the
next day and give account of his admins
tration at Washington. The Union Pa
cific and Central Pacific railroads were
building toward each other rapidly, and a
section 200 miles long was in dispute be-
tween them. There was also the usual
snarl among the federal officials in the
territory. So Governor Durkee gave sup
per to representatives Of all the interests,
including the only gentle editor in Utah
There were present four governors-three
with an ex-three generals, two colonies
and major, all of the vintage Of 1878,
two federal judges and two captains of
the regular army. I was the only distin-
guished man present, the only one having
no title. Governor Stanford was in his
merriest mood and gave many amusing
details about his farmer boy life in the
Mohawk valley, the fun he had as law
student and his long and tedious trip to
California in 1852, the year of drought
and great immigration, when all the grass
near the trail was eaten out and there was
much suffering.
Stanford rs Prophet.
For the next three months Governor
Stanford was unusually active as the lit
tie interval between the two railroads was
rapidly narrowed, and on the 10th of May
he drove the last spike at Promontory
point and made that speech which excited
some laughter and a great deal of criti-
cism. His prophecy that there would soon
be three railroads to the Pacific coast was
thought wildly extravasant, and he closed
his speech with an imaginary picture of
Columbus standing in eternal bronze on
the rocky point above the last spike, point
ing westward and saying, Il was right, aft
er all-this is the way to India" There
was great deal of enthusiasm that day,
and Governor Stanford allowed himself to
be completely carried away thereby. While
the Central Pacific was in process of con-
struction he had rapidly grown to be fig
ure of national prominence and was now
giving the last touch to the grandest work
of his time, so it is not surprising that, as
he freely admitted afterward he lost some
what of his poise and became trihe soph-
omortcal. OF all the far western men
have known he had the most sublime con-
fidence in the future of that region. He
used to point to the vast beds of alkali-des-
