cloth fell in deep godets and was fin

stitching. The garments novelty came
in the front, which was composed Of
small but richly appliqued scallops.
The high wired Medici collar was cut
with the yoke and was appliqued.
This was particularly pretty gar
in,ent, but a wiser choice in capes, to
speak in general sense, is something
with tailor finish. These are in con-
siderable variety, though there are nat
urally MS many of them as there were
of the more highly wrought garments.

and slight relief to it's severity came
In the lace jabot at the throat.
While the fashions in capes have
changed quite as much as in other sorts
of wraps, it Is in the latter that the
changes Of greatest interest are found.
The collapse Of sleeves and the SUBJ

Redingotes, ulsters and even newman

Handsome and serviceable-looking

Preaching with Pistols.

The war of the revolution, like our
civil war, separated friends and divid-
ed households. One of George Wash
ington's intimate friends was the Rev.
Jonathan Boucher, clergyman of the
Church of England, who had come to
the colonies while young man.
When the troubles began which led to
the war, the two friends took opposite
sides, and their friendship was sus-
pended. The young clergyman, believ-
ing in the divine right of kings, was an
uncompromising loyalist. He was as
bold in the public utterance of his SEN
timents as was Patrick Henry in de.
claring that George III. might learn
from the king who lost his head.
The young cleric preached openly
against the doctrines of the revolution.
Such was the popular excitement that
he often ran the risk of personal vio.
lence. His last sermon in America,
preached ut Annapolis, Md, ignored
the Beatitude, BLESSED are the peace
makers" On the pulpit cushion were
a brace of pistols, and he ended tho
sermon by this shout of defiance:
"As long as live, yea, while have
my being, will proclaim, God save
the king!"
The pistols recall another bold clet-
gyman, Presbyterian of Kentucky,
who was prominent leader in the
movement to abolish slavery from the
State. Once when he had been an.
nounced to preach, an angry crowd Of
opponents gathered about the meeting
house, long before the hour for begin.
ming the service of worship.
When the clergyman appeared, It was
seen that he carried a pistol IN each
hand. As he walked toward the church
door the crowd opened, and he, bowling,
said:
"You see, gentlemen, that don't be.
long to the Peace Society," He preach.

And put it's remains

In style that was strangely dcmure,
And said with n grin

To Prevent Pilferine.

Probably one of the best schemes for
preventing the opening of boxes with
out discovery is ured by q firm in Phil
adelphia. The firm are wholesale ci-
gar dealers and ship their goods
throughout the neighboring States. It
used to be their custom to place about
fifty boxes Of cigars in large case,
but quite frequently the cases were
opened and several boxes removed, the
cases being nailed tight again. Now
their cases are made out of about q
dozen boards and a single piece Of
heavy twine is run through an auger
hole in each board. The two ends Of
the twine are sealed with piece Of
lead bearing the firms name and this
method has proved effective against
stealing.

capes and long cloaks are silk-lined,
and brilliant effects Of color and pat
terms are general. In the ready-made
garments much dresden silk is employ

are plentiful. Many Of the severe
tailor coats are lined in man fashion
with bright satin only in the sleeves.

stylish still, smooth finish cloth, as
lustrous as silk may be used. Putty

Proposed For the Utah

That Organization-The Pioneer

The franchise committee held another
meeting last night with Allen, O'Meara,
Callister, Lloyd. Haywood and Stewart
present. The franchise proposed to be
granted to the Utah Power company was
under discussion. but very little was
done
According to City Attorney Mckay
the company's vice-president, r. c.
Chambers, favors accepting the terms of
the committee. These conditions are

Judge lie Grand Young, who was pres
ent,. representing the Pioneer & Electric
POWER company OF Ogden, suggested the
proposition that his company be permit
ted to come in and share the burden of
the Utah Power company in erecting the
400 poles and furnishing the electricity
needed by the city up TO 600 horse power.
At the present time the city would not
use 500 horse power and it was not fair

the other.
This proposition seemed agreeable to
all but City Attorney Mckay, who
thought the two companies should be
required to furnish 300 horse power cleo
tricity at once and what the city needed
the committee objected to this as ii
would make the city a competitor of
these companies, and that was certainly
net within the bounds of reason

Deseret WOODEN Mills Company VS..
Frederick, Roberts.

The suit of the Deseret Wooden Mills
company VS.. Frederick Roberts came on
for trial before Judge Richie vester-
day with Attorney J. II. Moyle ap
pearing for the plaintiff and Attorney
Charles Baldwin for the defendant.
1t is alleged, in the complaint that on
Feb. IS, 1898, the plaintiff and defend
ant entered into an agreement by
which the plaintiff agreed to deliver to
the defendant wooden goods to the
value of S4,0S1.S2, which the defendant
was to send TO Boston. Mass, and there
sell the same for the best market price
and return the money to the plaintiff,
less freight and charges and per cent
commission.
1t is then alleged that the defendant
neglected to sell the goods and has re-
fused to pay plaintiff for the same, ex-
cept the sum of $2,476.61, leaving a ball
ance of about S1.604.71 due. Plaintiff
asks for an accounting and judgment
for the sum found to be due.
Defendant put in a cross complaint
for commission, freight and goods sold
and delivered to the plaintiff amount
ing to $l,S76.96, which set off opposite
the amount owing the plaintiff, left a
balance of s760S7 due defendant for
which judgment is prayed.
Judge Richie after hearing the case
took it under adVisement.

When Judge Rhodes was concluding

counsel You expect to prove the corpus
delicu by the admission of one accom-
pllce (Bamberger) to another accomplice
(Hayken) on the uneorroborated teSti-

is little better than hearsay and at best
the evidence of an accomplice unsup-

with the circumstances of the offense
any way and not with the offense itself
