Broke a Contract for Music.

Judge Street was occupied yesterday
with the case of J. A Hauerbach
against George Calder. The case is
being tried before a jury, Attorneys
Hamilton and Hoppaugh appearing for
the plaintiff and Attorney Waldemar
Van Colt for the defendant.
The action was brought to have judg-
ment against the defendant for $500
and costs for damages alleged to have
been sustained by the plaintiff in the
refusal of the defendant to carry out
the conditions of written contract
entered into on April 16, 1894. whereby
the plaintiff was to furnish a band
for Calder's park every day except
Sundays during the season of 1894 1t
was alleged that the defendant dis
charged the plaintiff and those in his
employ on the July u. 1894 from the
services required under the contract
and refused to allow them to continue
such employment for the remainder of
the season. to plaintiffs damage in the
sum named
The defendant averred that he dis
charged the four musicians because of
their habits of drinking and general
conduct. which was so offensive as to
drive away the patrons of the park.
The hearing was proceeding at the
hour Of adjournment.

The question of natural gas continues
to be an absorbing topic on the streets
and in the offices about town, as we'll as
in the homes Of the city, and from all
indications there is likely to be a lively
time in Zion if an attempt is made by
the electric company to discontinue
serving natural gas to its patrons on
the first of the month.
The Herald was informed yesterday
that number of the prominent bust
ness men of the city, about so in all,
had agreed TO put no the necessary
amount of rental of one of the theaterS,
and that they proposed to call a meet
ing of the citizens for the purpose Of
talking the matter over and to take
steps towards preventing the electric
company from attempting TO furnish
its patrons with artificial gas TO the
exclusion of natural gas.
When this meeting is held, and it
VIII be within a few days now, a brass
band will be on hand to fill in the in
tervals with stirring music, and it is
expected that the house will be damned.
as the people are now thoroughly
aroused over what they term an en-
deavor to kill the natural gas industry:
and If they can have any voice in the
matter they will see to il that the
electric cOmnany continues TO supply
them with the product of the Lake
Shore wells.
1t is also understood that the women
are indignant over the matter, and it
is more than likely that they will hold
an Indignation meeting at an early
day, and it is fair to presume that if
the good housewives of the city take
a hand in the fight that is now on that
they will soon bring the electric COM
pany to time, and save TO the city its
natural gas industry
The suggestion made in these col
umns yesterday that the railroads run
excursions out to the gas wells at Lake
Shore seems to have taken well with
gas consumers, and with those who are
interested in the welfare of the indus
try. Both of the railroad companies
are considering the subject faVorably.
and there seems to be no doubt but
that one or both of them will soon
carry out the suggestion, and the gas
companies say that if this is done that
they Will give the eXcursiOnists a spec
tacle of gas illumination such as they
have never seen before, and also satisfy
them beyond a doubt as TO the per-
marency of the gas supply.
There is no good reason" said a.
prominent citizen to a Herald repre-
sentative yesterday, why the natural
gas fields at Lake Shore should not
be a second Mercur to Salt Lake City;
for, if the enterprise is handled right,
there should be a large number of man
ufacturing industries started in this
city within the next few months"
The notice of the proposed mass
meeting will be duly given in these col
umnS so that every citizen who desires
to do so may attend.

MAXINE ELLIOTT FREE.
Judge SnndersOn Grants the Actress
n Divorce.

San Francisco, Nov. 24.-Miss Maxine
Elliott, the actress, was set free from
her husband by Judge San
derson this morning. The proceedings
were purely of formal nature, as no
defense was offered to the suit for
divorce.
Miss Elliott's married life was brief
and unhappy. Her real name is Mrs
Jessie c. McDermott, and that of her
husband George A. McDernott, a New
York lawyer. She married him ten
years ago, when she was a child of
10 years of age. He did not attend
to business. From all accounts he
believed it to be his mission to aco.1ire
fortune on the turf. He lived rather
checkered career and varied the mo-
notony of life from time to time bv
busing his wife. Acts of physical vio-
lence on his part were common. and
at last, in 1891, Miss Elliott. as she is
now called. left him and came to San
Francisco, where her father. who is a
sea captain, resides: Miss Elliott took
uD the stage as a means of livelihood
and IL a little while achieved fame
and good income. The divorce suit
was filed in May last.

Banuuef.


Boston, Nov. 24.-The jubilee banquet
and celebration of the Home Market
club in honor of the election of Will

hall this evening. A reception was
held from 1870 until o'clock, when the
dinner was served About 1900 MEM
bers of the club and invited guests sat
down. Senator Hoar of Massachusetts
was among those who addressed the
meeting. He said in part:
1T takes more than one day for
thanksgiving this year. No private
dwelling, no church, no ordinary build
ing can contain our joy. The campaign
of strife, of dishonor. of broken faith,
of sectional hate, of bankruptcy is
ended, as it deserved. The American
people once more stand before the ma
lions of the world for peace upon earth
and good will to men. The flag which
our fathers left us and our brothers
saved for us without rent was handed
down without a stain. 1t is good
time for Union soldiers to celebrate.
There is happiness again in the work.

1T is certainly a sad thing to think
of states like Kansas and Nebraska,
children of New England. that great
farming population where we expect
to find, if we find them anywhere, So
briefly, integrity, steadiness, conservat-
ism, the great communities where
churches abound, and where the
schools are the best in the world should
have lent themselves to this crazy at
tempt at revolution and this passion

SALVATION ARMY RALLY
COMMISSIONER HIGGINS FROM LON
DON DELIVERS AN ADDRESS.
The Lyceum Theatre Was Well
Filled and the Proceedings
Proved Both Interesting and In
tructive-Picturesqu Costumes.

A grand rally was held at the Lyceum
theatre last night by the Salvation
Army in honor Of Commissioner Hig-
gins, who has lately arrived here from
London via San Francisco DR.. Nice,
ensign OF the army. who accompanies
the commissioner in mis- travels, was
also present The Salvationists here
were prepared for this great event. On
the stage, all the soldiers of the Salt
Lake corps were arranged in semi-cir-
cular order. Each one was dressed in
different costume. representing the diff
ferent countries of che world in which
the work of salvation is carried on.
The admission fee was TO cents, free
list suspended. A good audience was
present, and the meeting was a grand
success as far as the financial part of
it was concerned.
Mr.. Higgins was the only speaker,
and he gave an eXtemporaneous
speech on the Salvation Army and its
reformatory effect on the tramp ele-
ment of the world. He said that he
hoped that his visit. although it was
short would be of some benefit to the
soldiers here, as it would tend to en-
courage them at least. He denied the
reports circulated by malicious per-
sons that General Booth was having
an easy time of it in his position, and
said the only easy thing the general
had was . consciousness of doing
right He spoke of the work of the
Salvationists in the large cities, and
concluded with a few statistics show
ing how the army increased in the past
ten years.
Ensign Nice favored the audience
with one or two selections on his violin,
and the rally WAS over. 1t was short,
but full of the vim that always char
acterizes a Salvation Army meeting.

LIKE THE PARENTS,
Boys Can Have Their Coffee Now.

When a good. healthy boy sits down
to his breakfast and sees Pa and Ma
have their coffee to dip toast in and
sip, he feels sighted that he can't
have some too. But parents know that
it is really poisonous to children and
refuse them. Postum, the grain coffee
made by Postum Cereal Co., linn,
Battle Creek. Mich, is exactly like
coffee in looks and yet it is made of
the healthful grains and is nourishing
and fattening. Boys and girls can
drink it every meal if they like. 1t is
simply food of the most nOUrishing
sort, but so prepared that it fools the
eye of even a careful expert.
DR.. E. Schoene, 1176 Milwaukee Ave.
Chicago, says: Il am very much
pleased with Postum. 1t is delicious
drink, and 1 think preferable to all
similar products, such as Health COT
fee, Malt, etc.
