Montebello will continue to be used as the name for a brand of champagne, the French Court of Appeals having decided that titles in France can only be considered as parts of ordinary names. The wine business was estab- Iished sixty years ago by the Duke of Mcntebello and his brothers, sons of Marshal Lannes. and the bottles were marked with the family name and arms. Lately the mother of the pres er1t Duke obtained decision from the Rheims court that "the glorious name of Montebello should not be risked in trade nor used as an advertisement" a decision which the French Court of Ap- peals has jusss reversed.

At the trial of the suit the priest was put on the stand in his own defense and was asked if he had in any way induced the apprentice to break his contract. The priests re- ply was 8 refusal to reveal what he claimed to be the secrets O. the confes- sional, but the judge ruled that such advice, if given, was not a privileged communication between priest and par isnioner because it was advice to break the law, and that the priest must an swer the question.

A man living in an Illinois town in which ague is prevalent has turned the
 afliction to good account. He has gone into the dairy business, and has built a large churn, operated by spring board. Every day butter is made, and the way it is churned is unique. The proprietor of this little dairy explained its operation to his neighbor. You see," he said, none of us do any extra work; so I call it clear profit. Monday I always shake in the morning and my wife in the afternoon. Tuesday Jim and Sallie shake; Wednesday, Bob and George; Thursday, Ella and Minnie;
 Friday, Tom and Bill, and Saturday, Charlie and Eliza. When the shakes come on, we all just go and stand on the spring board, and they always last long enough to bring butter in the chllrn. So it ain't any extra trouble" /"

FOUND wEAvElR,s FOLKS.

The body of G. A. Weaver is the only
one of the victims of the explosion
which has not been buried. His inter-
ment may be sometime today and yet
further delay may be had if his rela-
tives wish it. These relatives have
finally been located by the hard work
of Sheriff Wright and Deputy Sullivan.
The theory of G.. L. Asher who in
sisted to The Herald representative
some time ago that Weaver was a
telegraph operator and had stopped
with him at the Rio Grande Western
gas house seems to have been verified.
In looking over the effects of the men
Deputy Sullivan found membership
card in the o. R. r. issued to one
George A Weaver at Tacoma Wash,
No. &C and the division No 1872, but
the name of the man signing the card
was worn off except the first initial j.
Another bit of paper in the pile led
Sullivan to think that Weaver had at
one time worked there and among
other clues he followed this one, tele-
graphing another operator at that
place. The answer came saying that
George A. Weaver had worked there
in 1898 and said that he was an init
mate friend Of Judge Doty, of Green
burg, Pennsylvania.
Another answer to another telegram
came from an operator in La Crosse,
Wis, giving the street addresses of
the mans wife and brother who lived
in Erie, Pa.
1t was also learned that he has
little girl II years old, and that the
mother and father have lived apart
of late years. Thus bit by bit was the
identity of the man established Tele-
grams have been sent to his wife and
father.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH RECEPTION.

Among the new edifices that Ogden
may expect in the not far distant flu
ture is a church to be used as a place
of worship for the Christian church de-
nomination. The members are deter
mined to build and are working hard
but quietly to that end and it is their
intention to have ample funds on
hand to guarantee the success of the
venture before it is begun. Meanwhile
the members meet in the city hall and
under the leadership of Rev Galen
Wood are building UP a strong organi-
cation. Quite large number of new
members have been received lately and
a very pleasant affair was the recep-
ton rendered them Friday night.
Games, merry making and informal
sociability whiled the first hours away
after which refreshments were served.
Among those present were: Misses

shott, Blanche Emerson, Hazel

MACHINES AT WORK.

Although the canyon work for the
Pioneer Electric Power company has
been delayed considerably of late the
canal work is being pushed with all
possible speed. Three machine graders
have been brought to the work and
one of these will be put at work today
while the others are expected to be in
operation tomorrow. They are graders
of the new Erie make. The ground is
plowed and four or six horses attached
to the grader draws it along and the
machine scoops up the dirt and carries
it by an elevator similar in principle
to the straw carrier of the threshing
machine to either bank of the ditch.
Ii it is desired to remove the dirt a
greater distance from the canal bed
wagons are run along under the ele-
vator and the dirt hauled thence. They
will be of great help in pushing this
sort OF work. The great canal of the
Bear River Canal company was largely
built by these same graders.

Lehi Lines

LEHI, April 12.-Some of the ordi-
nances passed by our late Republican
city council came very nearly precipi-
tating a legal battle of no small di-
mensionG 1t all came about through
the efforts of the local leaders of the
Republican party to punish the owner
of the Lehi opera house for not casting
his lot with the free silver execution
ers One of the laws passed compelled
any person desiring to give an enter
tainment or ball of whatsoever kind or
description, to first procure a license
therefor. They little though that their
work would prove a boomerang and
come back like Banquo's ghost to
haunt its originators; but so it proved.
The law worked all right as long as
people would pay the license for giving
wedding parties or card socials; but
when the choir gave a social party in
the Lehi Commercial bank building,
refusing to pay the required license,
then the trouble began. The mayor
was averse to crowding matters, be-
cause the majority of the male mem
bers of the choir were Republicans
who had sworn by the biggest idol in
the Republican joss house that if they
were compelled to pay the license that
they would labor increasingly until the
scalp lock of every member of the
present city administration dangled at
the belts of the irate singers; but after
collecting the license from other par
ties on divers occasions, there was no
way out of the difficulty but to compel
payment or repeal the troublesome
statute. Time would not permit of
the latter, so instructions were given
to our imported city attorney to draw
up a complaint charging Messrs.
Webb, Broadbent, Glib ct al with
violation of the city laws, and to Mar
shall Thomas was assigned the duty OF
bringing this trio of ardent Republi-
cans before the bar of Justice Willis
court: but before this delectalble COM
edy of errors could be spread be-
fore the public, Bishop Cutler put a
step to matters by paying the license.
Thus ends the first chapter in the
farce-comedy of the Republicans re-
venge.
Two young men by the name of Glier
and Hitesman had preliminary hear
ing before Justice Gilchrist yesterday
on the charge of stealing horse be-
longing to George Beck of Lehi juno
ton. They were remanded to the
district court at Provo for trial.

AN INTERESTING TRIP.

AS reported in The Herald yesterday
Frank Burton, known as the American
Hustler" has arrived in Ogden en- route
from New York around the world to
New York. BY the condition of his
wager Burton must not spend a cent
and must earn $1,000 during his travels.
People go around the world nowadays
in all manner of ways, for all manner
of reasons and subject to all manner of
restrictions.
This last method is certainly unique
and while opinions may differ as to the
wisdom of such a trip, still all will adj
nit that a person making such jour
ney must have a variety of interesting
experiences
A Herald reporter met Mr.. Burton
yesterday at the fire station where he
was the guest of Chief Binford and
conversed for a quarter of an hour
with the genial traveller.
How did you come to start on such a
trip" asked the reporter.
"Oh. we were talking of a fellow who
was trying to do it in three years and
time. Davis and Keogh offered to bet
that 1 could not and Richard K. Fox,
who has backed me before in some
schemes that We're successful offered to
back me for $4,000 The bet was
promptly covered and here I am
You have to earn money and AL
ready have over half the sum; how do
you do it?''
''Oh, in various ways. That is the
least of my troubles. I advertise for
people is one way. For instance, ex-
hibit myself and dog in some big
shrow window I am newspaper cor
respondent and also theatrical man. /
have Travelled with John l.. Sullivan's
troupe, with Jefferson Klow and Err
hangers Brownies" Lew DockstaGer,
Primrose & West, 1.-The Prodigal Faith
err" and a number of other companies.
Sometimes I fall in with a minstrel
troupe and have one or two special acts
that the public take to and 1 can
travel with them. Then too. I get S.
a week for wearing these shoes made
by the Royal Shoe company, of Bos-
ton, and like sum for taking a Mon
arch bicycle around the world with
me / shipped it to San Francisco as
I thought that there would be no need
of it through this region"
What do you find is the greatest OBJ
stacle to your progress 2"
1.-THE railrods. Food, lodging and
laundry can always get but transpor-
tation people are hard to decker with.
Once I worked over the road as train
boy; again newspapers have interced-
ed for me to get me tickets Harry
Hynds gave me a. ticket from Salt
Lake here
