UNDERGROUND WIRES.
Means Harrassment of Capital and
Stoppage of the Tide of Prosper
fly For Ten Years.
D the Editor of The Herald.

To the Editor of The Herald.
Sir-I am no politician; [ don't even
know whether or not this is a Demo-
cratic year, or what are politically
speaking) the prospects of the future,
but l do know this, and | speak as
business man representing investments
in a great many parts of America, and
over the whole world. that the restless
activity of busy bodies in a city like
Salt Lake is calculated TO do much
harm. No fair minded citizen will deny
that the Telephone company and the
Salt Lake Gas & Electric Light COM
pany, with it's natural gas and water
power alliance have done great work
for Salt Lake City. Yet no sooner have
these great schemes become accom-
pliShed facts than an agitation based
on neither rhyme nor reason is set
afloat for the purpose of having the
wires put under ground. This is put
ting the cart before the horse with a
vengeance. 1t is an attempt to worry
the benefactorS of the city, and to seek
to have Salt Lake City put in the po
sition of cities like New York and
London. [ have before now denounced
the short-sightednes of a policy of this
KIND and have urged the Importance of
helping, instead of harrassing, the in
PRODUCTION of what you are sometimes
pleased to call foreign capital for the
development of industrial enterprises
and the consequent increase of pOpu-
lation. This would be putting the horse
in his proper case before the cart, and
in the course of years neither of the
companies referred to would feel the
cost Of putting wires underground, for
the reason that they would have pre-
viously reaped their reward through
the increase of population.
Although I am not a native Of Salt
Lake City, would undertake to add %
per cent to the population Of Utah lin
addition to its natural growth) dur
ing the next seven years by a settled
and defined policy. such as I have in
Dictated, and l look upon the harrass-
ment of capital as [ do upon a power
full brake applied to an engine, the
tendency being to retard its progress
and ultimately bring it to a dead stop.
When [ look upon this lovely valley
and it's resources waiting for the de-
velopment of vast industries, the more
I am lost in wonder at the want OF
foresight which gives out to the world
that your policy is to invite the stran-
ger within your gates for the purpose
of strangling him.
I am pleased to observe all over
America a marked change of this poll
icy, and 1 feel certain that common
sense, honesty and honor will ulti-
mateIy prevail in Salt Lake City.
Yours truly, j. A. KELMAN,

z. D. Willard has now definitely de-
cided to supplant the run of Ala
bama" with Jerome K. Jerome's play.
THE Redemption of Dick Halward."
This play. which is already known in
America as "The Way to Win Wo-
man" will be interpreted by a strong
cast. which includes Mr.. Willard. Dan
eel Graham, J. H. Barnes, e. v Es-
mond. Miss Marion Terry. Miss Fan
ME Coleman, Miss Winifred Fraser
9nd others.
Pinero's new play, "The Benefit Of
the Doubt" was produced at the
Comedy theatre on Wednesday last
and was the event of the week in the
dramatic world. 1t is a comedy in
three acts and deals with the subject
Of divorce. The cast, which is an ex-
cellent one, and which brought out
the usual crowd of notabilities on the
first night, was as follows:
John dillingham; Leonard Boyne
Sir Fletcher POrtwood. -. Cyril Maude
Alex Frazer John I. Graham
Claude Emplage. Aubrey Fitzgerald
Peter Elphick. ........ Stuart Champion
Bishop of st. Elpherts
.....................E Ernest Cushman
Quaile NJ ....................Jo John Byron
Morton. ...................-..O NJ. Brown
Mrs. Allingham. .......... Lille Habury
Mrs. Clay.................R Rose Laclerco
Justice Emplage.. Esnie Beringer
Mrs. Twelves. ...........Eva Williams
Mrs. Frazer. ...........W inifred Emery
The general opinion expressed by the
newspapers the next morning (Thurs-
day. was that Pinero has not fallen
below his high standard and the crit
jcs warmly praised the production. ex-
pressing the opinion that a long run
seems assured for the new attraction
at Comedy.
The plot in brief is that the ultra
jealous Mrs. Aliingham failed to Sc
cure divorce against her husband on
the ground of misconduct with Mrs.
Frazer. who is absolutely innocent.
The play turns on the subsequent re-
lations between the two husbands and
wives. There was a powerful scene at
the end of the second act, where Mrs.
Frazer drinks champagne and, under
the influence Of the wines. begs AL
bingham, whose relations with her are
only those of friendship. to elope.
while Mrs. Allingham, who has come
to ask pardon of her husband, is listen
ing behind q, curtain.
The play ends with an unsatisfactory
patching up between the husbands and
wives in the third act, which is very
weak. Winifred Emery won a triumph
Is Mrs. Frazer, especially in the
drunken scene.

Near San Francisco.

Near San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19AThe
United States steamship Ranger has
arrived in port from Acapulco. The
vessel has been away from San Fran
cisco for nearly a year, during which
time she has been, cruising along the
Central and South American coasts.
The vessel has been detailed to act
as a receiving ship and to occupy the
same position here as the Independence
does at Mare Island. At present 400
men are needed in the navy of which
number 200 will go ON the Boston. Ow-
ing to the difficulty in oh taining enlist
mentS at Mare Island the Ranger will
remain in the stream until all the men
have been signed, which may be for a
month or six weeks.
The Ranger left the Alert at CallaO
undergoing repairs The latter was
run into and nearly sunk by British
merchantmen while she lay at anchor
at the harbor. The Alert has been on
the Central and Southern American
coast for more than six months, and
how much longer she is going to stay
south is not known. The Marion left
here for Callao ON last Saturday and
it is generally supposed that she will
relieve the Alert. 1t will be some time
before the Marion reaches her destina-
stops on the way down.

be given, and from what we can
gather this little idyl will prove a
more appropriate curtain raiser than
even Brander Matthews Picture so
beautifully interpreted by Daniel
Frawley and Miss Bates. Dream
Faces" contains but one act and af-
fords opportunities to but two leading
characters, the same being placed
with Walter Edwards and Miss Nc
Intyre, the two minor roles being di-
vided between Hugh Ward and merry
little Miss Pollock. This piece has
been made famous by some Of Amer
teas best artistes. Agnes Booth made
her performance in this play a me-
morable one; also Miss Bateman. Miss
Mcintyre should prove herself charm
ingly capable in the same role.
Dream Faces will be followed by
a somewhat tumultous farce entitled,
''Nita's First" which is said to be
twice as rapid in its mirth provoking
qualities as the Three Hats the
farce that caused so much hilarity at
the Grand last season.
The plot of this piece seems to de-
pend upon an unfortunate baby,
Nita's first, who is continually get
ting lost and relost and turning UP
again at most inopportune moments
and in unlooked-for situations 1t
brings woe upon the rakish hero by
slipping into his house at midnight
just as he is returning from "a night
off" He manages to get it out of the
house in time to escape the vigilant
eyes of his wife, who, however, hears
the cry and endeavors to locate it
with the laudable intention of un-
earthing a scandal at all hazards. if
scandal there be. The luckless child
brings about unending misfortune to
every one in the play before its final
and legitimate parentage is satisfac-
torily decided upon. The piece has al
ways been an extremely popular one
and Is likely to be so again, especially
II given with the completeness which
has so far marked every production
given by the present company at the

Unless the county collector makes

danger of that, however, and indications
point to the fact that city warrants will

while the treasury was low, the collector

If the city council is not well inform
ed as to the financial condition of the
city it is no fault of the auditor, who
has kept the members well posted. He Is
sued another statement yesterday which
contains a record of the receipts and dis
bursements for the past nine months and
which is worthy of a perusal. 1t will be
seen that the revenues of the corporation
from all sources during this time were
$265, 0t9.5S, while the disbursements for
the corresponding period were $425, 6.27.
There was an increase of disbursements
during the nine months Of S16O,236 SO. OF
this sum $65 1851 was expended on the
gravity outlet sewer, which would leave
an excess of 1884, 1873. BY these figures it
will be seen that the city has expended
$94, 1898 in nine months, more than its
income. This divided amounts to about
$1,000 per month. The table which is APP
pended shows the balance of the fund to
have been expended in the regular depart
ments and there will have to be a chop
ping somewhere, if there is to be a saw
ing.
The table of receipts and expenditures
as made by the auditor is here appended:
