service in a number of states includ-
ing Wyoming, Nebraska, ILLINOIS, In
diana and Michigan.
Joseph L. Rawlins, who served one
term as delegate in congress, Is an
other candidate of commanding stat
ure. Mr. Rawlins is an exceedingly
able man. Though capable of elo-
quence, he is seldom moved to 1T. He
has always been a liberal contributor
to his party'S campaign fund He is
lawyer in good practice and rapidly
becoming wealthy. Mr.. -Rawlins is a
gentle, though of Mormon birth. He
is regarded as not Objectionable to the
church, whose counsel he has been for
years.
Judge Henry P. Henderson Is a can
didate whose hope for the senatorship
depends upon church support. Judge
Henderson came to Utah from Michi-
gan a few years ago as a federal judge.
He is a man Of the strictest integrity,
beloved by wide circle of friends.
yet without a special qualification for
the senatorship, neither having con-
sricuous ability nor having rendered
particular service to his party.
Fisher B. Harris, Gentle, is another
fervid orator. Only thirty-five years
of age and a few years resident in
the state, Mr.. Harris has jumped to
the very front Of his party by the
force Of his eloquence. Last summer
he was nominated as presidential cleo
tor by the Democratic state convention.
1t had been desired to effect a union
of the silver forces by nominating one
Republican elector.. Mr.. Harris was
not on the slate. Indeed, no attention
was paid the few friends who were
working for him. The breaking of the
slate occasioned the greatest surprise
and the machine managers were In dire
trouble. Harris was the only man
nominated who was. present. Without
the slightest hesftancy he arose and
declined the nomination that had just
been given him. The act Of self-abne-
CATION was instantly and immensely
popular, Harris was cheered and re-
cheered, and, when a moment later
nominations were called for congress
man. cries went up for Harris from
every part of the house. But Harris
was pledged to King and again he
took the floor to nominate King with
speech that carried him without oppo-
sition to the nomination. Since that
day Harris has been an idol of the
younger members of the Democratic
party. ..,...
c. c. Richards, Mormon, and David
Evans, Gentle, of Ogden; S. r. Thur
man, of Provo; Aquila Nebeker, of
Rice county; John t. Cane, of Salt
Lake City, former delegate to con-
gress and for years Brigham Young S
private secretary, all have support.
B. H. Roberts is regarded as the
possible legatee of church favors in
this contest. Mr.. Roberts has been in
ST. Louis conducting Mormon prose-
lyting work, but has recently been
given permission to return to Salt Lake.
This is considered significant, as Rob-
erts is the most prominent Democrat
who is in perfect harmony with the
Mormon church.

A Reactionarx Play.

The long-threatened reaction seems to
be setting in against the problem play in
London. Rosemary" a play which
Charles Windham has just produced, is an
idyl, all exact opposite to the problem
play; it is full of roses and sentiment, and
the old-time picturesqueness of sixty years
ago. Rosemary has achieved a great
success.
For three acts it is June of 1887, time
of short-waisted coats of green and blue
and brown, with shiny buttons and white
waistcoats much in evidence, of red-lined
cloaks, white hats, and snuff boxes for the
men, and for the women mid parted hair
and ringlets, sleeves exuberantly topped
and bonnets almost-if it is to be con-
ceived-more hideous than the present.
And the story fits its setting; it is slight
and in way old-fashioned and very
simple and all its characters the oldest
friends.
This one begins with an elopement and

THE SAILOR LADS FUTURE.
VIII Train in Mexico or Any Other
Place Where He Can Be
ACCIinated.

Speaking for Sharkey Dan Lynch, his
manager, said last night that it had not
vet been determined where Sharkey would
begin training or when for his fight with
Corbett In one of the underground pas
sa ges of the Alcazar Manager Lynch said
last night that Sharkey's training ground
would not be chosen till it was settled, as
near as could be, where the big battle
would take place.
If it was in Mexico Sharkey would go to
some point in that country TO train, where
he could become acciimated and get into
the pest condition for the contest.
In the event that the territory of the
battle is located in salubrious Mexico,
instead of the United States, Sharkey will
struct him through all his practice.
ii the place OF the contest finally appears
to be Mexico, Sharkey will devote about
five OF the remaining six months TO tray
cling around the country in theatricals.
He says: SIT requires only from five
days to three weeks for me TO get into
condition, for l am in condition nearly
all the time. l have been training for sew
eral years now, and desire a little rest,
so that l may regain my natural energy if
/ have lost any,
Sharkey has numerous theatrical offers
from New York, Philadelphia and Chi
cago, but he does not yet know which one,
if any, he will accept. Offers of from 500
TO $500 week are coming his way almost
as fast as the wires can carry the news.
he will not accept any pugilistic chal-
lenges, however, till the SharkeyCorbett
fight to the finish is a thing of history.
AT the theater Sharkey appeared in
green tights, and though the bouts are
friendly, he gives Neednam, his trainer,
all the work he wants.
Sharkey has no time which is exclusively
his own now except in bed. Eight hours
out of the twenty-four are divided up be-
tween business and visitors. 1t does not
make any difference whether Sharkey is
engaged in an important business PROPOSE
tion or is on the street with friends, his
time is fully occupied. He is inclined to
complain that he has no time to himself.

the breakdown of the inevitable postchaise.
The lovers are sheltered for the night by
hospitable, scatter Drained baronet, who is
nearing middle age; and who. by the odd
est coincidence, gives a like shelter that
same night to the father and mothero OF the
lady runaway. Then the baronet falls In
love with the bright and teasing girl, who
fills his bachelor hall with youth and color
and music; she is a desperate little t1irt,
and makes her boy lover even more furious
than his won't when their gallant host,
having won the consent of the old people
to this runaway match, does his best to
break it off by making violent love on the
box seat as he drives the whole party to
see the coronation.
In London there is lovers quarrel; but
the older man-for whom, indeed, the girl
cares nothing-eives up the fight at the
urging OF an honest old friend, and goes
back to his loneliness.
This ends the play proper, but an cpl
logue, charmingly conceived, shows us the
bachelor of 80 come to the same innroom
to see the rejoicing of the jubilee year OF
1887, dimly remembering the past across
this long half century. 1t is sad scene,
of necessity recalling one of those dismal
tontine dinners to which groups OF club
men of grewsome fancy were wont to
doom them mselveS-a scene which gives to
the whole play something of wearled ana
half-cynical moral; but IL has an idea,
which is much, ami its idea, its contrast
with the idyl that has gone before, is true
drama-Which is more and rarer.

CORBETT'S PLANS.
He VIII Go to Bartlett Springs and
Regain Strength and Condition
Speedily.

Mr.. and Mrs. Corbett went out to
spend last evening with friends. Realiz-
ing the importance of getting into con-
dition early, the champion went to bed
last night as early as 80 O'Clock. He
will leave next Tuesday morning for
Bartlett Springs and begin getting into
condition at once. Mrs. Corhett may ac-
company him to the Springs, but beyond
that period the champion will have the
most of the time to himself and get into
the best possible condition.
The champion knows that the scientific
degree of his sparring is all right, but he
recognizes that his stamina requires some
cultivation. If Corbett does not put Shar-
key out in their finish fight for $4,000 a
side there will be much money and more
confidence lost on the champion pugilist
OF the world.
After Corbett visits the springs and
among California friends a fewl.weeks
more he may go back to Asbury Park,
\. j., TO go into training. The champion
recognizes that he will require much goo d
food and rest, in addition to his training,
and that the actual hard work of getting
into condition may be accom- plished in a
couple of months.

The Adventurous Career of Thomas
Sharkey From Ireland to the
Golden Gate.

The sporting world, with its ear to the
ground is listening fer no other news than
that of the coming Corbett-Sharkey fight,
and from day to day the sailor (they call
him commodore now) gathers impor-
tance. There is talk and talk and talk
over the finish" to take place six months
hence but stripped of its verbiage the
nude fact stands out that both men must
build" for the event.
Sharkey must get some science to back
his wind, and Corbett must get wind to
back his science.
En- passant, what composite man the
Corbett-Sharkey man is! Well, the Com
modore" and the "Pompado ur" will have
it out and the end will be known. In the
meantime there will be more talk and
talk and talk.
