speaking of Guatemala:
Things are rather quiet there at pres

the fact that the government is making
preparations for an international expo

One of Salt Lakes representative Yale
boys was sitting with some colleagues
in front of the Knutsford last evening,
and told an interesting little tale which
bears repetition In the course of a con-
versation during which a great deal was
said on books, he said
There is 3 little town near New Ha-
ven called Wethersfield, and one of the
finest scholars in the whole country is
confined IN prison at that place l meant
to say ShakeSperian scholars, for that is
what he is.
"Old Yale professors pronounce this
man, whose name is John Davis, an
infallible authority on Shakespeare, as
the result of his great study, and Yale
students interested in Shakespeare often
go TO Wethers1ield in order to talk to
Davis.
Il saw him in April and had a long talk
with him, and he told me that he would
never have been in prison had it not
been for the flowing bowl. Davis was at
one time a keeper in the prison where
he now is, and when he entered it as a
convict he could neither read nor write.
In eighteen and eighty somathing-S3 l
believe-a Hartford preacher lectured on
the poet, and Davis became interested.
The lecture had given him "a thirst for
learning and he struggled manfully TO
get it.
Shortly he knew the alphabet, then
he learned to read He procured a copy
of Shakespeare's works and read the sub
ject of the lecture, Hamlet. He read it
again and again, and twice a year for
the last twelve years he has read the
complete works OF the bard, while any
spare time is given to studying books of
amy description on Shakespeare.
Every Christmas a fair is given by
Connecticut prisoners, at which things
they have manufactured are sold, and
here Davis makes enough money to buy
little luxuries during the year by recit-
| ing from the works of the great English
man"

The small number that was put on pasture

Prices on this class of soft stuff all along
the line have been more satisfactory than
for some years past, with but little
changes iii prices at any time, and buyers
have been anxious to secure the offerings
every day for immediate consumption.
But little dry lot stuff remains in the
hands OF feeders and in consequence eX-
porters of live cattle find little TO do these
hot days.
Prices are still lower in London. Re-
cent quotation on prime American beef
are 712 cents a pound net This is the
lowest on record, and the condition is
largely due to the inferior class of the
offerings. In former years the export trade
demanded long fed heavy cattle, but like
everything else, this season the style of
cattle for this class of trade changed and
the demand was for medium weight
blocky cattle, which forced the feeders TO
sell early, leaving nothing but unfinished
soft stuff to go in at this season of the
year, which gives the cold storage men
an opportunity to unload the large surplus
OF hrst-clasS meat which has accumulated
during the spring and early summer at
fair prices, a result which they antici-
pated. That the storage of cattle all over
the country will soon be felt there can be
no question. Whether the increased out
put 81 hogs will be the means of keep
ing down the prices we are unable to say
at present. Should times get better. and
we have reasons to believe they will from

of the steady advancement of the city,

commercially and agriculturally is Il
most fortunate one and already there is Il

In hcalthfulness no city in~sth State or

colleges for girls and boys to be found in
the country. On the whole as we look

proofs of what untiring efforts can do in

does that, notwithstanding the deprcs-

fully held its own and that it contains
to-day larger population than at any
time in the past. The vote of Roanoke
