7HE FIRST STRIKE ON REcoRn
1t Occurred In Rome and Took Place II
the Year 500 b, C,

II Occurred In Rome and Took Place IN
the Year 800 B. C.
Livy, in his famous book, 1.-THE An
nals,' 9, 30, relates in the following
suggestive words the story of a singular
strike which occurred in Rome in the
year 800 B. G. and was probably the
first strike ever known:
That year occurred an event little
worthy of being related, and which
would pass in silence had it not appeared
as neutrality-suspicious.. The flute players,
dissatisfied because the latest censors
had forbidden them to take part in the
banquet in Jupiter's temple, according
to the ancient custom, withdrew, every
one of them, to Thur, so that nobody
was left at Rome to play during the sac
rifces. This incident shocked the reli-
gious sentiment of the senate, and the
senators sent messengers to invite the in
habitants of Thur to make every effort
in order that the players should be re'
stored to the Romans. The TiburtineS,
having promised not to neglect any
thing necessary for that purpose, caused
the flute players to come to the place
where the senate met and exhorted them
to go back to Rome. Seeing that they
could not prevail upon them to do so,
they employed a strategem in keeping
with their character.
On day Of festival, under prete1t
that music would increase the joy of the
feast, every citizen invited the futs
players Individually to his house, and
wine, of which people of that profession
are usually fond, was given to them in
such quantities that they fell into
deep sleep. They were then thrown into
wagons and transported to Rome. They
only became aware of whi., had hap.
pened on the day after, when dawn
surprised them lying on the carts,
which had been left in the forum. a
large crowd had assembled, and they
were induced to promise that they would
remain at Rome. The right of attend. |
ing the banquets was restored to these

In educational facilities Utah is up

system modelled after the best In the
eastern states. embracing thorough

These latter institutions in courses and

to the public school there are many
private and denomina tional academies

cities.
All the religious denominations are
represented by churches and societies

wealth and happiness, a feature of
which constitutes one of the chief at

climate. At an altitude of 1890 feet

ever the parent government have aught
to regret at having added the new star
to the proud ensign of our common

PROBABLY POKER.
A Man With Money Arrives in Dem
YER and Then Disappears.

CHICAGO, Nov pa local paper
says: LIE Voyageur Roland des
Varennes. the French nobleman who
was in Chicago on his trip around the
world on a wager during the first
week in August, and left here about
Aug. 10 for Denver via the Rock Is
land, has disappeared. His friends in
Chicago are greatly agitated over the
whereabouts of des Varennes and
have called upon the French consul TO
seek for information regarding the
man.
Roland des Varennes is an assumed
name of the French nobleman His
Identity is not Known further than he
was a member of d weIl-known Par
isian club and was making a tour
around the world on a wager. He
was a man of means and his income
is reported to be 100000 a year.
Quite a number of the friends of das
Varennes believe that he has met
death with some accident or is the
victim of foul play, either while en-
route to Denver or after his arrival
there. The fact that he had nearly
$1,000 on his person. they say, gives
color to the latter belief.

Grand Chief Conductor Clark of the
Order of Railway Conductors now and

and wholesome reading for the army

The New State.
utah stands at the threshold of the
Union, eXpectantly waiting for the final
official action that shall confer upon
her the full privileges and powers of
statehood In strict accord with the
enabling act passed by congress, the
people of Utah elected delegates to a
constitutional convention at the time
of the general election in November,
1894. The body convened in Salt Lake
City March 4, 1895, and remained in
session until May 6, upon which date
the completed work of the convention
was formally adopted to be submitted
TO the voters at the general election in
November, 1895, for ratification or re-
lection. In the event of the approval
of the constitution 10y the people proc
lamation by the president of the Uni
ted States will be the merely formal
of state making. Considering the great
Importance of the step from territorial
dependence to the qualified sovereignty
of statehood, it is but natural that
the entire populace of the territory
should regard with special interest the
election so near at hand. Aside from
| the political Importance of gaining for
the one or the other of the great po-
litical parties a member of congress

suing election is of more than passing
moment because of the many new laws
to be framed by the first state legiSla-
ture of Utah. 1t has been the aim of
each political party to select for can
didates for legislative honor men of
experience and wisdom in every field
of action, to the end that the
work of the first legislative body
may give to the new state a. code Of
laws abreast with the statutes of the
older states.
The interest centering upon the
forthcoming election in Utah is not
confined within the borders of the ter
ritory. Owing to- the peculiar social
and religious conditions that have
heretofore prevailed in Utah, many
citizens of other states view with a
semblance of fear the consequence of
comforting the power of statehood
upon the people of Utah. The provi-
sions in the enabling act and also in
the constitution absolutely forbid the
practice of polygamy. Thus accorded
legal sanction and provided with
fundamental laws, Utah is, in a gov
ernmental sense, fully prepared for
statehood. Let us see how we'll she
may be equipped in a. material way.

Commissioner Stump Will Soon Give

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Commis-
sioner Stump, of the immigration
bureau, in his annual report. will

corporations engaging in the business
Of procuring employment Of alien i'm
migrants without first securing a
license from the immigration bureau,
the bureau also to have the right to
fix the compensation that may be

act further provides that all persons
contracting for the services of any
immigrant within one year from his
arrival in this country shall pay wages
due directly to the immigrant and not
to any middlernan or boss under PEN
atty of being liable again for the
wages so paid. Advances of money or
articles to any immigrant through mid
dlemen are also prohibited and it is
required that all advances shall be
made directly to the immigrant by
his employer. Other safeguards are
grant with the view of curtailing the
various practices complained Of in the
past.
Violations of the act are made mis-
demeanors and the immigrant officials
are given power in the legislation pro-
posed by the commissioner to examine
all accounts between employers and
immigrants
The immigrant inspectors are speci-
ally directed to examine into the en-
ployment of women and children who
landed within one year and to re-
port thereon to the nearest commits

the power to modify or abrogate any
unjust or unreasonable agreements
and to institute prosecution against
offenders
A special provision is proposed, de-
claring that the new act shall not
change the law as it now exists, so far
as respects relatives assisting one an
other to emigrate.

of Orleans is named as correspondent,

Woolston, the husband alleging that

invention of the pneumatic tires has
there been so much excitement in the
