Just about this time the train came
with Superintendent O'NeiU in charge
The train switched onto the Park CITY
track and the agent reported to O'NailI
that the line was cleared for a quick run.
Wright jumped aboard and explained az
terWard.
Arriving at Park City the engine was
turned round while the paymaster was
showing the agent where to sign on the
receipt for the Park City employees

from the train, ran up the hill and CATCH
ing hold of the first intelligent-loolCine
man he found he said: "Show me Mrs.
Leishner, quick" The man did so. and
as it happened they had to go a little less
than a block TO do it. The sheriff read
the subpoena through to the lady, served
her with a copy, put on his hat, left the
house and when the pay-Car. after max
ing a stay of just four minutes in the
town, pulled out for Ogden, with a clear
line in front Of it. Wright was on board

EMINENT WITNESSES.

Speaking Of the religious views of many
of our great scientists. q German period
ical shows how many who have been
great discoveries have also been loyal be-
levers in Christ. Copernicus, Kepler and
Newton are spoken of as earnest Christ
lans. who saw the handwriting of God in
all the works of nature. On Copernicus'
gravestone the following inscription is
craven: Il do not expect the favor which
Thou hast given to Paul nor the grace
with which Thou forgavest Peter; only the
clemency which Thou hast shown to the
thief on the cross L beseech Thee to grant
me-" Kepler's faith is evident in the clos
ing words of his greatest work. He says:
81 thank Thee, my Lord and Creator, for
the joy which the work of Thy hands
hath given me If 1 have said
anything unworthy of Thee, graciously
forgive me-" OF Newton it was said that
he never pronounced the name of God
without uncovering, his head. And Fara-
day priced the Bible as his dearest and
best book, and often explained the Scrip
lures in meeting and attended service reg
ularly on the Sabbath. Wiegand, late pro-
fessor of botany in the University of Mar
burg, especially desired on his deathbed
that the world should be Informed that
a scientist had died who was a believer.

THE BIG FIRE.

Mr.. Cragun of Pleasant View called at
this Office yesterday to congratulate The
Herald on its accurate and prompt report
of the fire which destroyed the S15,O0O res
idenee of F. r. Sanford Friday night and
to furnish such additional details as de-
veloped yesterday.
There was. in addition to the $50 in
surance on the house, $500 on furniture
Fhe report that the fire started from a
Kitchen stove or any other stove is in
correct, as all the members of the family
said no fires or lamps were left burning
when they went to the play. There was
no adequate means of fighting the fire and
all that could be done when Mr.. Barnett
rushed in to the amusement hall and
gave the alarm was to go and save lit
tie of the furniture
The Home Dramatic association last
evening repeated the play, "St. Mary 5
Eve" free of charge, as only the first
act had been finished when the fire was
discovered and the actors, In their stage
dress, rushed to the scene. The play was
very creditably put on, among the fore
most actors being o. II. HickenlOOper.

which they first learned the delights Of
fntoxicants.
Next in harmlessness to milk are
those drinks which are prepared from
the products of the soil without the
aid of fermentation. Such are tea,
cofee, cocoa, chocolate. Among these
the use Of cocoa is probably the most
ancient in Europe, as it reached there
before either tea and coffee. The En-
peror Montezuma must have been very
tond of it, as he had 1000 jars pre-
pared daily for the use of his house
hold and fifty for his own conSump-
ton.
Columbus, who did many good things,
carried the knowledge of cocoa to Eu-
rope, and it soon became common in
Spain. 1t was introduced to England
In 1867, and about the beginning of the
eighteenth century chocolate, which is
a preparation from the same plant, be-
came fashionable there.
Coffee. the drink more highly re-
garded today than any other, was first
used in Abyssinia in SIS. Thence it was
brought to Arabia. a Greek first in
PRODUCED it to England and made him
self famous by the act.
1t will surprise those who like beer
to hear that it is not a modern inyen-
ton. 1t was made by the Egyptians
many hundreds of years before the
Christian era, as well as by the Greeks
from the ancient Gauls, who were
great drinkers as well as feeders. IN
doubtedly the use of beer was common
as carly as the use Of wine.
Among the Egyptians, Greeks, Ro-
mans and Athenians beer was made
from barley. while in Spain and Brit
ain wheat was used for mailing. Tao
titus in the first century said that beer
was the usual drink of the Romans
and the soldiers of Caesar introduced
it into Britain
So-called beer was made in England
long time ago by tapping spruce, fir
thelr juices. This process is still kept
up in England and in this country,
where homemade beers from roots are
much used.
Ale, which is more used in England
IMAM in America, is a heavier matted
liquor than beer and contains a small
proportion of hops. 1t was a favorite
drink of the Anglo-Saxons and Danes.
a more aristocratic drink is wine,
the use Of which is as old as civilfza-
ton The culture of the vine began
in Armenia and Pontus and speedily
spread. The most famous of Asiatic
wines was that of Chalyb which fur
nished the tables of the Persian kings.
Wine was not used by the most an
Gent Romans.
Whisky, which is more democratic
than wine, is distilled from various
grains, from potatoes and from matted
barley. 1t was named by the Cets in
ireland and Scotland. Brandy, a drink
not so universally used, is distilled
from wine.-Chicago News.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22-The develop
ments of the week in the stock markets
have in the main been favorable to
higher prices. although the actually new
influences have been few in number. The
entire absence of stringency in the money
market, encouraging exhibits of railroad
earnings, indications of an easier market
for commercial paper and the large de-
posts of gold at the sub-treasury here
and with other repositories on govern
ment bond account, have had a stimulat-
ing effect
Toward the end of the week the higher
quotations from London and the buying
referred to constituted an important bull
card and encouraged the local dealers who
had assumed that the advance had about
run its course.
1t is encouraging to note that the gen
eral market has evidenced a revival of
genuine investment demand for securities
and less strictly professional control of
operations.
1t cannot be disguised that the revival
of foreign inquiry for our securities and
notably for our gflt-edge railroad bonds
was due largely to the belief abroad that
further free silver agitation during this
session of congress is impracticable. The
aggregate sales were 794,177 shares.
Among the more important net gains were

CHARACTER GRoWTH.

AS the real life of the tree is invisible
and belongs to the hidden processes of
nature so the character of the individual
grows in secret. The sources are never on
the surface. How shall we keep them
pure?' is the one vital question for young
and old.
Flower and fruit expand in sudden
movements-their growth is continuous.
So ones character can never develop sud-
denly-it must attain ripeness and matur-
ity slowly and steadily, like the bud.
We know the motives for good or evil
that stir within us. We can train our will
power to choose the good and avoid the
evil. That choice conditions the possibil-
ity Of right living. Our character is a mat
ter of conscious selection.
How inspiring to see the youth, the
maiden. as unerringly as the tree turns to
the sunshine and derives beauty and
strength from its radiance, choose the
good in the life tournament, champions
of honor and integrity, loyal to the high
est aspiration, following love for loves
sake and seeking truth for truths sake.
So shall their crown of character be en-
during.-JeWiSh Messenger.

PROHIBITION IN MAINE.

When the Maine liquor law was enacted
forty-four years ago there were thirty
five distilleries in the United States, says
the People, seven Of which were in the
city of Portland, also many breweries
West India rum was imported into Port
land by the cargo and largely sold; Ii
censed taverns, saloons and groggeries
abounded all over the state, and Maine
was the poorest state in the union. Now
there is not distillery or brewery in the
state, nor is any West India rum i'm
ported. nor is there any place where in
toxicating drinks can be legally sold and
q generation has grown up who have
never seen licensed saloon or tavern.
In the rural parts of the state the poor
-.ouses and ja1ls are practically empty and
the courts have but little criminal bust
ness. The law is violated some in the cit
les. where the authorities are reuliss in
not seeing that its provisions are enforced.
but that is not the fault of the law but
Of those who should enforce it.
Roosevelt has proven that prohibition
can and does prohibit. Maine proves the
benef1cent results of prohibition. There is
the whole subject in a nutshell.

Gently addressed prohibition camp meet

He said that ''the deadliest enemy of both

influence of ministers, he said, as re-
ported in the Baltimore Sun:
You sometimes hear it said that Chris

influence than any Christian minister
Why? Simply because these men have not
talked politics that should be talked from
the pulpit, and have quietly allowed the
other fellow to get the upper hand
through inaction. How can you expect
to influence workingmen for temperance
or for pure politics when they see that
our government officials never dare to
turn to the right or left except at the
dictation of the whisky ring of the United
