THE PASSING OF A WAIF.

He was in the hospital for a Ions
time. and was always, while in it. an
influence for good upon all who came
in contact with him. He possessed,
in a remarkable degree, the power of
Inspiring others with sincere love for
himself 1 have never been able to
understand what there was in him
which caused this affection. He was
unselish, it is true, but so were many
others in the hospital He was gentle
and sympathetic, considerable and
patient, courteous and straightfor-
ward. The same qualities were nos
sessed bv several other patients to an
equal degree. The others inspired re-
spect, he-love. 1 do not mean
that he was a popular man. Popular
men are not loved, they are only liked:
and they usually inspire an active
conscious liking. Probably many of
those whom this man Influenced most
strongly. were hardly conscious of the
love they bore him. Yet the most
homogeneous visitors were to be found
round his bed when he grew so sick
as TO be una Bile to leave it, and all of
them had made his acquaintance in
the hospital. I do not remember &C
curately who they were, but 1 know
that among them were a confectioner
and a convict or two, a negro, several
Irishmen. a number of Germans and
Americans, and representatives of
several other nations. And all of these
people really loved the man. If any
near relative came TO see him, l do
not remember the fact: neither do
remember that he ever asked to see
any clergyman. He was cheerful even
under the terrible strain which comes
TO those who know that they are suf-
fering from disease that they them
selves can perceive is slowly but surely

Edwin 3. Bascom, well known
rsilroader, was found dead in his room
in a South Temple street lodging
house yesterday afternoon.
At first it was thought to be a
case of suicide, but a brief investiga-
ton upset this theory and Indicated
very strongly that acute ALCOHOLISM
was the cause OF death.

Stripping the Cows.

To show the necessity for taking the
last drop of milk from COW, the fol-
lowing test was made at the Hawkes.
burg agricultural college On. S. W):
A COW in full milk was taken for the
purpose, and MIXED quite dry, the
milk weighed, and the following morn
ing the milk was taken from the COW
in three separate lots, as nearly equal
in weight as possible, and a test made
of each Of the three lots. with the re-
suit that the milk first drawn gave a
reading OF 9 per cent of butter fat:
second, &c; third, 80
If a cow is continually allowed to go
without being MIXED quite dry, the re-
suit will be that she viii become quite
dry sooner than she would if always
properly MIXED. Even after the udder
is quite dry, it is a good plan to strip
the teatS for a while, demanding more
than the cow possesses, and thus
educating the COW to increase her
yield. This cannot be too carefully
practiced with young cows, especially
those with their first calves.

Blasts From Rams Horn.

Looking a difficulty square in the face
will often kill it dead.
No prayer meeting was ever killed
by the prayers being too short.
The world has learned more from its
poor than it has from its kings.
Beware of the sin whose only de-
tense IS that it is highly respectable
Boil down many mans religion and
it will be found to have been nothing
but froth.
There are people who are claiming t.
be praying for the poor, who never do
anything else for them.
When the preaching is aimed straight
at the face of sin how quick the hypo-
critic begins to dodge.
1t viii probably be some time before
the people who blow trumpets solely to
advertise themselves are all dead
Go forth with a smile on your face
and you will return believing that
most people are good natured- Wear
a frown and you will find plenty of
ouarrelSOme people.

The Quantity of Newspapers.

A German statistician has recently
compiled figures as TO the total num-
Der of newspapers printed during a
year. which he estimates at 1900, 900,
Goo copies.
To gather an adequate idea of this
enormous cuantity il might be stated
that all these papers spread out would
more than cover all the continents and
islands of the earth.
The weight of the paper would
amount to 7S1, 240 tons.
If this entire edition were to be
printed by one single press, the larg-
est and most rapid one now in use, the
total edition would take 1873 wears to
print
Stacked up vertically this quantity
would form column of 260,OO feet in
height.
Suppose that every reader devotes
but five minutes per dav to the read
ing of his newspaper, the time used by
the total poulation Of the earth would
amount to 100000 years

AMI ISEMENTS

"FLEUR DE LIS''-The theatre was
crowded with big and brilliant audi
ence last evening, the occasion being
the first appearance here of the Della
Fox Opera company. Miss Fox is a
sprightly little commedienne-it would
not be just to say singer-who first
sprang into favor with De Wolf Hop
per, in his production of Wang, and
her success was great enough in the
metropolis to justify her in trying her
wings and going it alone" as full
1edged star. Last nights production
shows that she has worked hard and
spent money generously in gratifying
her ambition. The company is large,
the costumes magnificent, the scenery
handsome and the chorus good in sing
ing and action, without being partlcu-
larly striking in looks. 1t is big,
busting, merry company of comedians,
whose business" is endless, but it
must be confessed that for an organl-
cation sailing under the name of
comic opera company it is singularly
short in actual singers. The comedians
McDonough and Blair. while they have
plenty to do, and while their gyrations
delighted the galleries, gave evidences
that their humor was very labored; the
best achievements of the night were
the Good Night" selection by the
chorus, which was encored,v and the
song in imitation of the strolling
Italians, by Miss Fox and Mr.. Chilvers,
who made much better female dago
than a singing lover. Miss Friganza
was piquante as Charlotte, and Mr..
Campbell somewhat lame as her lover.
Mr. DUNCAN, an old-tifne baritone, had
little TO do, but did it well. .Fleur de
Lis goes again tonight and The
Little Trooper will be seen tomorrow
night.
AT THE GRAND4There is no
change in the situation of affairs at
this house. All the people were at the
theatre last evening and none of them
knew anything as to the future plans
of Mr.. Rogers. Jay Rogers. brother of
the manager, stated last night that
he had made the stockholders of the
Salt Lake Amusement company, own
ers of the house, a proposition to take
the house and re-engage the company,
but that he had not received a reply.
OFF TO ST. GEoRGE-It appears
that it is R. C. Easton, the tenor, in
stead of T. S. Ashworth, the tenor.
who is TO go TO ST. George to take part
in the coming concerts there. Propo
sitions were made to both singers and
it seems that Mr.. Easton accepted by
wire, while Mr. Ashworth employed
the slower process of the United States
mails. The latter was therefore adj
vised by wire that the offer was ''off."
Mr.. Easton and his wife arrived in
Salt Lake last evening.
"SIDETRACKED"- "Sidetracked," a
light comedy, full of specialities, fresh
from Portland, comes to the Lyceum
for three nights and matinee, open
ing on the 18th. Mr.. SGates expects to
do a business equal to that done by

Good Story For Doctors.

John Enders. a farmer living near
Ponca, Neb., met with an odd accident
a few days ago. A growth like a cataract
had been growing on his left eye for
several years and the sight of the eye
was nearly gone. Mr. Enders in choppins
kindling was struck squarely on the left
eyeball by a flying chip. The eye bled
prcfusely and he tainted from the pain
He suffered for two days and then be-
ticed that he could see plainly with both
eyes, and an examination showed that the
growth that had covered the eyeball had
been cut off as neatly as surgeon could
have done it.

Tired Feeling

Makes you seem "all broken up" with
out life, ambition, energy or appetite.
It is often the forerunner of serious ilI-
ness, or the accompaniment of nervous
troubles. 1t is positive proof of thins
weak, impure blood; for, if the blood il
rich, red, vitalized and vigorous, it inn
parts life and energy to every nerve,
organ and tissue of the body. The
necessity of taking Hoods Sarsaparills
for that tired feeling is therefore apparent
to every one, and the good it will do you
is equally beyond question. Remember

PIACHO GOLD MINES.
Fields Said to Rival Cripple Creek
TO Be Developed.

The Piacho gold mines of Arizona are
now attracting great attention Ex-
Senator Dorse--. who il heavily inter-
ested in these mines, has been to
Europe and returned with sufficient
capital. it is said, to erect a 1O0-ton
stamp mill and build a railroad from
the mine to the Colorado river, besides
pushing the mining work vigorously.
D. II. Moffat and other Denver mining
men and Jesse Grant, son of General
Grant. are also interested here. There
is an immense amount OF ore in sight,
but the inconvenience of reaching and
transporting it has been a drawback.
Now. with the conveniences that are
promised, it is confidently predicted
that an excitement in the mimi,

A Trio.

Oh. did you hear the drowsy wind
Go signing half asleep?
And did you feel across your mind,
A dreamy wonder creep?
Somewhere, far off, a bird sang low,
Cicadas Jared the grass;
Mayhap you saw, l do not know
Mayhap you saw me pass.
And love was by me, and delight,
We three did trudge along,
Cumbered with sweets, from morn til
night,
And overflled with song.
Behind us burned the summer land,
Fair autumn lay before
And we-oh we went hand in hand
A-singing ever more!
And then you knew the lazy wind
Was signing half asleep;
But did you feel across your mind.
a dreamy wonder creep?
