dated March 8. The change is not
called cut, but an equalization. be-
cause some salaries have been raised.
But the increases are very few, and the
amount in any instance does not ex-
coed $3.50 per month, while the reduc-
tons amount to as high as $3.50. The
entire coast line in Washington suf-
fers from the change Employees. say
the cut is a direct violation of the
agreement made with President Hill
and the st. Paul arbitration board in
April, 1893. Telegraph operators suffer
the most and some of them intend to
resign. There is yet no sign of a
strike.

a Correction.

In yesterdays account in The Herald
of the Devine hearing, the chief was
quoted as stating when ON the stand,
that he would lame the men he wanted
discharged from the department. This he
phatically that he did not want to give
their names. In justice to Mr. DeYine
the correction is gladly made.

THE GREAT NORTHERN.
Another Reduction in the Wages of
Employees.

SEATTLE, Wash, March 1.-THE
Great Northern railroad has made an
other reduction in the wages of its
employees, the men affected being
agents, telegraph operators, cashiers
and engine wipers. TIL scaling down
dates from March 1, although the cir
cular letter making the change is
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-03-15

told the truth in this connection. He
would not, however. dwell any longer
on this point. It seemed so evident to
him that the chief had told the truth
that it was useless to elaborate on it.
REGARDING LOBBYING.
Regarding lobbying Mr.. Stephens
held that Mr.. Devine would have been
derelict in his duty if he had not lob
bied for such a bill as he thought
would make the department more
efficient. 1t vas proper that he should.
Judge Judd-Don't you think, Mr..
Stephens, that the chief would have
been attending to his duty more pro
perly if he had made out his objee-
tions to the bill in writing and sub
mitted them to the board, his superb
ors?
Mr.. stephens-I don't think that be-
cause man is appointed chief of the
fire department he should sink into
obscurity and not have voice in the
public affairs
After continuing some time further
IN this line of argument, counsel
turned to the charge of habitually alb
senting himself from the department
Tor the purpose of lobbying. The evil
dence, he thought, had absolutely
falled TO substantiate the charge
None OF the legislature had been sum-
moned TO show that he even had spok-
Ell to any of them concerning any bill
or more particularly the fire and police
bill.

JUDGE JUDD CLOSES.

In closing, Judge Judd said Mr..
Stephens had no occasion to apologize
for the length of time he had con-
sumed in his argument but that he
ought to apologize for knowing so lit
tie about the case he had attempted to
present. Judge Judd then refuted the
argument of Mr.. Stephens that the
chief did right in lobbying. If the
the men in the department? 1t was
simply child's play to put forth such
argument, saying so with all proper
respect to defendants counsel.
The board then took an adjournment
until Monday night at 7:3O o'clock,
when the decision will be reached.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-03-15
DEv1NE NOT PERFECT.

He made. in closing, an appeal, hold
ing that no man was perfect, but that
we should look at human nature as it
is. He presumed Chief Devine, like
many other men, had done things dur
ing the past few days or weeks that
he was sorry for. There is no such
thing as perfection in man The
charges, he maintained, had failed
completely of substantiation. He was
forced to the conclusion that when
Mayor Glendinning suspended the
chief he did not know that the chief
had attended the Golden Rule bazaar
fire. The whole affair was so trans
parent that he thought it necessary to
apologize for the amount of time he
had consumed.

MR.. STEPHENS REPLY.

MT. stephens, IN replying, SAID but
for the many Measurements by the
preceding counsel he would not occu-
Ply any time. He contended Judge Judd
had attempted to go outside of the evil
dence as well as the charges upon
which the hearing was had to secure
his conviction.
Before proceeding with the argument
he desired to put his client in a fair
light when making the remark as he
did on the stand that if he had board
that would take an interest in the de-
partment he could make the law effect
i've. The remark was not what Mr.
Stephens said he had expected. but he
assured the commission it was not
intended as an insult to the present
board. If it had been so intended he
would frankly admit that no commits
sion could discharge the chief quick
enough.
IRREGULAR ALARM.
He then referred TO the irregular
alarm from the fire at $40 South Ninth
East street, which was accountable for
the chiefs failure to go Taking the
fire at Third and L streets MIR.
Stephens argued that the chief has
much to attend to outside the
department, and that the public should
not be so eXacting. Everyone knows.
ne lilOuSHl, lDdl me ClleI is COntlnu-
ally called away from the headuuar-
ters and there was of course nothing
strange in the fact that occasionally /
an alarm should come in when the
chief was away
He accused Judge Judd of placing
the rule in a ridiculous light which
provided that the first officer on the
ground at fire should have charge
OF 1t. There was nothing strange in
that rule, but one that was customary
and in vogue in all well regulated de-
partments.
HE WAS ABSENT.
Mr.. Stephens then came to the
Golden Rule bazar fire and said it was
unfortunate that the chief was absent,
but he pointed TO the conflict in the |
testimony regarding the time when !
the chief arrived on the scene He
neld the chief up as the man who had /

past two days. 1t is announced that
they have arrived at an agreement
relative to fixing a universal schedule

The Tyranny of Etiquette.

It is impossible TO read even the least
dogmatic books on etiquette without be-
ing oppressed with the conviction that
a heavy and binding addition has been
made to the code of morals in the by
laws which have to do with visiting
cards, invitations, conventional phrases
and other minor but vigorous sc-mc las
It has been reiterated by writers on these
subjects that not single rule of ETH
quette is arbitrary, but that all prove
their reason in the very nature of things.
and that those who disregard them sim
ply show their own lack OF insight and
incapacity to appreciate genuine refine
ment.
While this is all very we'll for society
people pure and simple or those who
have other definite and absorbing work
in life compliance with all the thousand
and one trifing points tf etiquette is an
utter impossibilty The question then
becomes, Shall such persons be excluded
from society or be allowed to enter it on
their own terms? Society might be SO
conducted as to make Of it charming
and delightful recreation instead Of a
tyrannical business, and those who see
this clearly can do much toward making

EPHRAIM AND THE BEAR.
Tow He Killed O YearIing In . FATS
Fight Without Weapons.

Row He Killed O YearIing In q Fats
Fight Without Weapons.
Old Ephrai1n Hatfield, father of Anse
and Elias Hatfield, of Mccoy Hatfield
feud notoriety, was a born fighter. He
was also mighty hunter, and had one
ambition. 1t was to kill "a yearling bear
in o fair fight without any weapons
other than those nature provided him
with. Every day that he felt especially
strong he would go out with his dogs
and his boys, and, freeing bear, would
get him down and fight him. When
bruin would begin to get the best Of the
encounter, he would call his boys to let
loose the dogs. Year after year passed
and Ephraim had not yet whipped a
bear.
One day a fine yearling bear was
freed, and as Cuffy was climbing to a
place Of safety old man Hatfield cut off
a piece Of the animals tail with quick
blow Of his knife, and the bear came
down. Ephraim threw his gun and
knives to the boys and cried out:
Hes likely varmint. Stan aside,
boys. an watch yo' dad. I'm comm,
BARI And he clutched the bear by the
throat.
The animal got it's paws around
Ephraim, and they fought, rolling in
every direction, until it was almost i'm
possible 20 distinguish man from beast
In the cloud. The boys held the dogs
and encouraged the old man by shout
ing to him:
"Go 1t, papi You've got 'eml Give
It to i'm, dadl''
Down the hill the two rolled until
they could roll nc farther.
Let loose the dogs - shouted the old
man. LET 'em loose The critter IS got
mel"
But the boys thought the old man
would never have better opportunity
TO realize his ambition and whipa year
ling bear and kept the dogs away.
Finally Ephraim, seeing that he was not
to have assistance, began to use his feet
and hands with an energy born Of de-
spair, and in half an hour he succeeded
In choking the animal to death, but not
until his clothes were torn to shreds and
his race ana body were covered With
gaping wounds, from which the blood
flowed SO freely that it left crimson
trail wherever the man went. Dragging
the carcass out Of the pit Ephraim start
ed after the boys, and it wonld have
Jared roughly with them, but they fed.
The cid man reached his home and was
almost dead from loss Of blood, but his
ambition had been realizea-he had
whipped a yearling bear in fair fight.
The boys hid out In the woods for sew
eral days, and would not return until
sheir father, whose joy st his success
had got the better of his pain and an.
ger, sent them word that he would not
whip them if they returned Hatfield
never wearied telling how he whipped
a yearling bear, and his sons are equally
proud of their fathers achievement
