ABOUT THIS TIME
Look Out for Another War Scare; the
President is After Ducks,

Washington, January 29.-The Presi-
dent has gone cunning again, but only
for brief trip. With Mrs. Cleveland he
attended dinner given in his honor by
the attorney general last night and then
hastily changing his dress suit for a
ducking costume, drove from the White
House to the Seventh street where the
lighthouse tender. Maple, was awaiting
him.
3 3 1t was midnight when the embarkation
was made. The handsome little vessel at
once steamed down the river. Her desti-
nation was said to be Quantinco, Va. !,
twenty. five miles down the Potomac, the
southern most point of the Pennsylvania
railroad sytsern. There were some rum
ors that the President might prolong his
trip by joining the other lighthouse ten
der, Violet, at Portsmouth, Va, but it
is believed his engageme nts here will
preclude this program being carried Gus.
DR.. Orrily, the companion of previous
duck hunts, accompanies the President.
Everything connected with the Presiden-
tial departure was managed with Gus
tomary secrecy.

Recently as Mr. and Mrs. A. g. STRAIT
ton of Albion, were driving from Water
vile TO their home. they discovered a
strange wild animal near the road. On
reaching home Mr. Stratton was Joined
by DR.. Withee and the gentlemen sue
ceeded in hunting down and capturing
the animal Thon yery5ody wondered
what it was. Some said it was bob
cat, others said it WAS Canadian lynx,
a mountain leopard, or an Indian devil.
many names were applied to it by those
who know all about wild animals. 1t
was finally sent TO W. r. Clifford, the
Skowhegan taxidermist, with the request
that he should mount it and at the same
time learn it's name. 1t required only a
glance on the part of Mr.. Clifford to de-
termine that the beast was in life a com
mon every day wild cat and hence the
sensation OF new discovery is over.

first thing she knew the boards gave way
and her foot went through, throwing her
to the sidewalk. 1t was in the evening
and she didn't know whether the electric
light was burning or not. Mr.. Chandler
and Mr.. MoOlearn, two clerks in H. II.
Hay s. extricated her foot with some
difficulty and assisted her home. Before
the injury she was always healthy and
strong, but since then she has been
troubled with a serious female weakness

cross-examined at great length as to be1
whole family history, and especially as
to what she had done since the injury.

intention evidently of giving the impress

construed as a blind and evidence that
they went in the opposite direction.

she was not as we'll as she claims previ-

sinco the injury show that she wasn't

Democracy of this State. Barnes was their

There is bit of international history
attached to the name of William P.
barnes. Some time in 1857 he and Grant
israel, who was the first owner of the old
Cosmopolitan Hotel, long since out of ex-
lstence, took trip in privately char
tered schooner to the coast of Mexico
Ihey were captured by the Government
and taken to Mazatlan, where they were
cast IN an adobe prison on charge of fill
clustering. They were most cruelty
treated, being prodded with bayonets and
almost starved. The United States took
up the matter and they were liberated.
subsequently they brought suit against
Mexico for 100000 damages, and the af-
lar was left to a foreign board of arbitra-
ton, which allowed them $500 each. The
Mexican Government, however, was not in
position to pay the money at the time,
and the board allowed the amount to be
PAID IN 5000 installments each year. The
debt was finally wiped out about eight
years ago.

Wlse's house that Colonel Barnes was very

THE OTHER VIEW.
What. Miss Patton Has to Say OF the
Hospital Criticism of the
Grand Jury.

Grand Jury.
Miss Mary Patton, in charge of the train
ing-school for nurses at the City and
County Hospital, has this to say in regard
to the criticism of the Grand Jury that
made recent visit to the institution:
"The training-school has been in opera
ton for four or five years. Instead of add
ing to the expense of the institution it has
always been the means of great saving.
have twenty-eight nurses under my super
vision there, all of whom are serving the
City at the nominal cost of $40 q month.
There are but four male nurses, and they
serve at certain hours during the day. The
nurses OF the tTaining-school besides at
tending the operating-room and assisting
in the wards during the day, take active
charge at night. We provide our own sup
plies at no cost whatever to the City,
THE salary list for these nurses is but
1865 a month. The number of patients
averages $50 through the year and these
are served by our nurses and the four
male nurses. The fact is that instead of
being an expense to be cut off, the City is
really Indebted to our nurses. We have
nothing like the accommodations that
other cities supply, such as gymnasiums
and reading-rooms. The cost of these
nurses besides the nominal salarv is but
% cents day for their meals, and for this
the City gets the benefit OF this large force
of nurses. The mem bers of the Grand
Jury, while we welcome them at any tim e
to inspect the institution and our work,
are simply not informed of the necessities
OF the situation and the customs in other
places"

UTAH AND HER PEOPLE.

Elder j. r. Shepherd Lectures to
Large Audience.
Elder j. R. Shepherd one of the elders
in the Mormon church laboring in Califor-
MIA, spoke about "Utah and Her People"
last evening at 909 Market street. He said
in part:
at is truly phenomenal to note the
growth, progress and prosperity of Utah
to-day when we reflect upon its condition
forty-eight years ago and the many adver-
sites with which they have had to COM
bat.
"on July "a, 1S47, 143 hardy Mormon
pioneers directed by their leader, Brigham
Young, halted after long journey of 100
miles across a trackless wilderness and
camped where now stands Salt Lake City.
Brigham Young told them that there was
the place that God designed that Israel
should dwell. They were then on Mexi-
can soil, but with that loyalty to
the United States that had ever
been inculcated within them tney
unturled to the breeze the Stars and
Stripes. To question the loyalty of the
Mormon people to the United States ex-
hlbits woeful ignorance of history.
When driven from their homes in Nau-
VOC, while camped upon the praries of
Iowa, demand was made upon Brigham
Young for 500 of their best men to enlist
and march to California and fight their
country's battles against Mexico. This,
indeed. was trial. They had been driven
from State to State; pleaded for protec-
ton, but could get none; even plead be-
fore the chief executive of the Nation, but
was met with the reply, Your cause is
just, but can DO nothing for you.' Yet
with that patriotism that dwells within
all Mormons, Brigham Young said: You
shall have them if it takes all of nv
