Harrisburg special to the Pittsburg
Dispatch: There are strong intimations
that the Legislature will order an inves-
tigaton into the operations of the text
book trust under the new Farr free school
book law. The system of free books in the
schools in itself has proved n great sue
cess, and there is more likely to be an on
largement of 1t than a retrograde move
ment. But leading legislators of both par
ties who have been inquirlng into the sub
ject are convinced that the state paid out
during the year perhaps million dollars
more than necessary in the shape of trust
profits. number of the districts have
not reported the amount expended to the
state officials. The total as far as hear I
from, for the school year ended Ju..e 4,
1894, for books and supplies Is Si,S04, ,71il5
This, II IL stated at the department, Is
considerably more than was anticipated.
The amount per capita ranges from as
low as SO cents in one county to as much
as SO I'm others. There Is an entire alb
sence of uniformity. Some districts ex-
pended more than the state appropriation,
and others turned the new law into a
money-making scheme. Representative
Perry NJ. Lytlc, OF Huntington, the Re-
publican leader of the house, Is expected
to take the lead in the fight on the trust.
To the Dispatch correspondent he said:
Il am an enthuiast In favor OF n genuine
free book law, but the present measure is
an outrage. ! am Informed that OF the
| 900 expended last year In Lancaster
900 was clear profit to the trust From

Plan of Forest Protection.

AS has heretofore been explained in
these columns, one of the forest bills
which the Legislature will be asked to
pass provides for &he establishment of
three separate forest reservations with
in certain counties named, each of
which shall contain no less than 10000
acres of land in a continuous area. 1t
also provides that at least half Of the
lands chosen for these reservations shall
have minimum altitude of eight hun
dred feet above sea-level, and that all
of the land shall be of a character bet
ter suited to the growth of trees than to
mining or agriculture. The forest COM
mission is to select these lands, and is
authorized to purchase them at prices
not exceeding two dollars an acre where
this can be directly accomplished, and
where this is not possible full power Is
given to condemn such lands as reserva-
tions for the use and behoof of the COM
monweaAth, subject to such conditions
as the legally constituted authorities
may impose. 1T is further provided that
the state geological survey shall eX-
anime the land so acquired and make
report, with accompanying maps and
illustrations, upon their value as water
sheds and reservoirs; and that the state
board of health, the state board of agri-
culture and the fisheries commission
Shall each report every year upon the
uses and value Of these reservations in
relation to the several subjects within
their Jurisdiction.
This measure has the Endorsement of
the governor and cabinet, and of all the
newspapers, so far as we oan learn,
which have expressed opinions on the
subject The Legislature will make no
mistake in acting favorably upon 1T.
The time for action has arrived, facts
and figures innumerable have been ad-
vanced amply sustaining the need of
positive and aggressive legislation in
protection of our forests. The state has
in its treasury idle money sufficient to
meet all the expense incident to the
creation of such reservations, without
crippling other legitimate and real legis-
lative needs. The application of rea-
sonable proportion of this money to the
preserva ton of a natural resource in
valuable in itself and in imminent peril
of destruction will not be charged to
| extravaganza but will rather be credited
by the people to prudent and justifable
Legislative liberality
for forestry Legislation are all at hand;
and the Legislature will have no excuse
for not doing its duty.

DeveIopin~ the Cave Mine.

The tunnel being driven on the Cave
mine, situated north of the city of
MinersvilIe, Beaver county, is now in a
distance of 1900 feet and it is thought
by the owners of the property that the
face is not more than 300 feet from the
great ore bodies which in early days
made the old Cave famous Benjamin
Hampton, one OF the heavy stockhold-
ers, came up from the south yesterday
morning in Superintendent Young's
private car. He had been at the mine
for the past ten days preparing some
maps and attending to the survey of
the properties, being made for the pur-
pose of record. Mr.. Hampton states
that there has been no recent change
at the face of the tunnel and he looks
for none Of an important character
until in the neighborhood OF 300 feet
more have been driven.

DRUNKEN WILLIAM SULLIVAN.
Threatens His Wife and Baby and
the Police Are Summoned.

At midnight, last night, a neat-appear-
ing, nlodest-mannered little woman called
at the police station and asked for assist
ance. She gave her name as Mrs. Will
lam Sullivan, said that she lived on Elev-
enth West, between Third and Fourth
South, and that her husband had come
home very drunk and was threatening her
and the baby with bodily harm; and all
because she did not happen to be home
The patrol wagon and officer Mcdonald
was at once dispatched to the place, and
a more pitiful story of the brutality of a
drinking man was never told. than this.

Sullivan, who is a Bostonian and a cal
ciminer. by occupation, lives in barn.
which, by the taste of the little woman,
has been fitted up in tolerably decent
fashion. The only furniture they have is
three chairs, a three-legged bedStead and
an old stove, badly out of repair. They
have slept all winter under one old blan-
ket on a straw tick and, according to
Mrs. Sullivan's statement, there have
been many times when she had to wrap
the baby in her clothes to keep it from
freezing.
The drunken brute in his rage last night
broke everything IN the house, including
the few dishes they owned, tore up her
clothes, such as they were. broke all the
windows, and took the only food in the
house, some flour and some beans, and
scattered it all over the floor. He then
decamped.
Mrs Sullivan says they have been mar
ried three years and have had two child
rem, one of which is dead. She says that
he is man who has abused her times
without number, and has made life mlSer-
able for her in every way that he could.
Yesterday he received ten dollars from
man he had been working for, and. in
stead of providing something for his fam
lily. he blew it in for whisky.
Some of the neighborS took her in, and
will give her shelter for time. The po-
lice are looking for her husband, and if
he is caught he will get such a dose as
will make him remember that this is a
country where women are respected, If
nothing more.

Ajax Looks Very Well.

General Manager Mcintyre is in from
the Ajax and reports that there have
been few changes in the property
since his last visit. The east drift is
being pushed under the old workings
and within a short time it should cut
under the old incline which formerly
served for a hoist way, a skip being
used. Some good ore bodies are being
cut and just as soon as the connection
is made it is the intention Of Mr.. Nc
1ntyre to commence the extensive de-
velopment of the property in a syste-
matte manner. The old workings will
not be used, but the ore will be hoisted
from the new shaft, down which the
cage now slides very smoothly. This
will do away with the incline and skip
and in consequence much of the ex-
pense of working. The shaft is also
going down at a satisfactory rate.

UNITY CLUB.
Final SociabIe of the Season ii UNITY
Hall.

Last night witnessed the final socl-
able for this season of the Unity club,
and the reception was a fitting and
praiseworthy climax to long series
of successful entertainments. An un-
usually large number of guests were
present, and the affair was thoroughly
enjoyed by all who had the pleasure Of
being there. The entertainment was
as varied as interesting, consisting OF
card playing and dancing, pleasantly
were truly admirable. Refreshments
were charmingiy served by the corps
of young ladies to whom the honor is
largely due for the social successes of
the club during the past season.
The musical part of the programme
was introduced by Miss Marguerite
Harley, who. in her rich, full Soprano,
sang with excellent effect, only in
Dreams a selection from the "Knick-
erbocker" opera by De Koven. An
equally fattering hit was made by
Miss Marion Fit in her remarkably
fine rendition of Otto Roeders artistic
piece, ION Venice Waters For the
work Of both of these we'll known
vocalists the listeners showed marked
appreciation.
At this point. John P. Meakin fairly
outdid himself as an elocutiOnist, by
reciting in easy and graceful style,

portunities, however, for dramatic eff
fects.
Miss Cumorah Smith. in a lively
mandolin solo. showed that she was
perfectly at home with the instrument
and exhibited much technical ability
in its use. An accompaniment TO the
solo was played on the piano by Mr..
Leslie W. Ames.
Mr.. Charles She'd, who mas an en-
viable baritone, showed his vocal pow
ers to advantage in In a Ball Room"
which he followed UP with Thou Hast
Heart, 1 Know in response to a
hearty encore. The decided enthusiasm
of the gathering, however. was re-
served for Miss Margery Weber and
Miss Ida Pratt. Answer" by the
former, called forth great applause, to
which she replied with the always ap-
propriate song, Coming Through the
Rye"
Ida Pratt's magnificent contralto
voice had full play in Tosti's Good
Bye Summer" and the artistic per-
Torrance was thoroughly appreciated
Applause, however, failed to bring
forth second song and after few
more whirls had been made round the
hall by the dancers, the very enjoyable
entertainment was over

THE SYNDICATE SHOWS.
IMMENSE AUDIENCE At THE CIR
Gus LAST NIGHT.
Two Performances Today VIII Close
the Salt Lake EnEa Gement-Op-
era at the Grand Opera House.

The attendance at the circus last night
was limited only by the capacity of the
canvass-every inch of space devoted to
spectators being filed, while several hum
dred small boys and some Of larger
growth occupied the grassy stretch be-
tween the streets and the two rings and
elevated platform.
1t was such All audience, too, that one
rarely sees at Il circus il Salt Lake. In
the reserved portion of the house were
such faces as are regularly seen at all
high class amusements at the theatre Or
the opera house.
As was stated in The Herald yesterday,
the show is d good one III every respect
and it is generally conceded to be among
the best, if not the best, that has ever
visited Salt Lake.
The matinee yesterday was also well
attended.
Two performances today doors open at
l and .. m, closes the season here, and
Agent kohlund assures us that there VIII
be no cutting in any way.
In response to numerous requests, there
will be another parade at IL o'clock this
morning.

VIII Pay All Claims.

Advices were received yesterday to
the effect that the Commercial people
would be here within the next few
days for the purpose of paying off the
claims against the property and re-
Stunning operations at both the mines
and the mill. 1t is not known whether
Mr.. Underwood is coming, but the
general superstition is that he will be
here within a short time for the pur-
pose of adjusting not only the COM
mercial matters but also those of the
Ibex company. The claims against the
former aggregate $4,000 and in a dis
patch sent by Mr.. Underwood some
days ago he stated that the money for
the payment OF these would be forth
coming at once.

territory and says: To show what
the soil of the valley will do when ir-
rigated, I will give an example of nv

acres in a body, all sown to alfalfa,
and this pays me clean cash $50. 900 a
year. Fruit has its drawbacks in
caring. packing, shipping and a doz-
en- other vexatious details; but my
alfalfa patch goes right along with
out trouble, netting me more clean
cash than any other of my invest
ments. Strikes may come and go,
markets may fluctuate, scale and
pests may eat out orchards, banks
may burst and mines peter out, but
my alfalfa patch goes on forever

where is james At.

Amid all this talk about candidates
for the Senate and for the gubernator-
ial chair, one little boom has been en-
tirely lost sight of. Anxious politicians
are inquiring where w. II. James is
at? 1t will be remembered that he has
been pushed at various times as q
possible dark horse in case the fight
between Charley Crane and A. l.. Thorn
as should assume such a CORY phase
that a dark horse would be necessary.
But somehow or other he has not been
heard of so much lately as he was in
times gone by.
He is another for whose ruin the
constitutional convention is RESPONSE
BILE. He went into that body with the
credit of carrying this county for the
Republicans. That was not a great
prestige to be the leader of the WIN
ming fight. However, he only needed
to get into the convention to have his
boom busted. He proved himself one
of the most illogical of the many IL
logical Republicans in that star body.
His record as chairman of the COM
mittee on corporations other than
municipal was really the most refresh
ing bit of his history. He made UP his
report from the joint efforts of Messrs.
Maloney and Thoresen, and then did

vane and lost the respect Of the Re-
publicans.
However, there IS an att44npt on foot

states that the drift being run cilas
opened up six feet of the quartz and
about eight inches of sulphurets rum

first cut there was but one foot of the
quartz. The walls are well defined and
IT is without doubt a true assure vein.

Stocks Creating Interest.

Interest in the stock of the Alice Sill
yer Mining company must be on the in
crease in the east, for recent reports re-
ceived from New York are to the effect
that sales of the security are being made
at advanced figures. During the week
just closed 6145 shares of stock in this
company changed hands on the New York
board at 1906 cents. Horn Silver also
took a squirt, probably on account of the
approach of the dividend period. and 200
shares changed hands at $270Q2.S0 These
were the only Utah stocks traded in on
the eastern Stockboards.
