A MORMON PUZZLE.
The System of Naming Streets In Salt Lal
 City Is Confusing.

The System of Naming Streets In Salt Lake
 City Is Confusing.
 In Salt Lake City they name streets as nowhere else on earth. For general confusion to a newcomer no other sys- tenn equals it. In the long run it has its advantages, for it not only guides you to any street with pomp and ceremony, but it sharpens your hearing and encour- ages mental concentration. The street system of Salt Lake originates at Tenn pie square, wherein stand the taber- nacle, the general assembly hall and the temple which was 36 years in building. A wall 10 or 12 feet high incloses the square. The streets passing it were named East Temple. South Temple, West Temple and North Temple respeo- lively.
 East Temple street is the principal business thoroughfare of the city, and its name has been changed to Main street. The first street south of and par allel to South Temple street is named First South street. East of Main street it is East First South street; west of Main street it is West First South street. The numbering of the houses begins at Main street and runs each way, every house number having an E or W ap- pended, as 320E. Proceeding south each street that crosses Main is numbered in rotation, Second South, Third South, and so on, all being further divided into East and West The same plan is fol. lowed north, east and west of the tenn pie, and at a certain crossing the streets running north and south are divided for numbering, and each wing is given its prefix of North or South. When you start out to find number on East Fifth South street, the same number on South Fifth East won't do at all, and if you are trying to find your way from re mote place on North Twelfth West street to an indefinite number on Easi Sixth South, between South Eighth East and South Ninth East, you would dc we'll to start before dark and keep per fectly sober Boxing the compass ii ohild's play by comparison. -Kansai ] City Star.

A Connecticut Parkhurst.

According to Bridgeport dispatch to the New York Herald, Stepney in the town of Monroe has Dr Parkhurst in the person of the Rev H. ". Jones, pastor of the Baptist church. The rev. erend gentleman determined to break up the illegal sale of cider. So he dis guised himself in old clothes and re- paired one night to brilliantly lighted cider saloon.

On the evi- dence thus obtained the cider seller was fined $50 and costs, but he is re- lated to all the influential men of the place and SO the prosecution was un- popular and the zealous divine is being boycotted by the merchants and is in hot water generally.
