THE PROMISED LAND.
why the Tourist, Traveller and stu
dent Should visit Utah.

There are two reasons, either one of
which ought to be conclusive with every
American citizen:
First-The trip from Denver to Utah
via Rio Graude Western, "Great Salt
Lake Route" is the grandest to be found
anywhere on the continent. No Euro
pean trip of equal length can compare
with it in variety aud grandeur of scene
ry and wealth of novel interest.
Second:-YOu should go because, when
you have made this wonderful trip, you
will md Utah at the end of it-Utah, one
of the worlds famous spots and 4 land of
gold, silver, copper, iron and coal: of
lofty mountains and fertile valleys; of
vineyards, fruits and flowers. Salt Lake
City, the capital, is of great interest on
account of its historical and religious as
sociations. Here are Hot Thermal
Springs, Warm Springs. Sulphur Springs,
Sanitarium, Parke, Drives, Canyons and
the most healthful climate on Garth.
Great Salt Lake with the new and beau
tiful Saltair Beach Resort, of Moorish
design, has no equal in America. Write
to F. A. Wadleigh. Salt Lake City. for
copies of pamphlets, etc.

LAWYERS IN EUROPEAN STATES
Different Qualifications Required for Ad-
mission to the bar.

Different Qualifications Required for Adj
mission to the bar.
From the New York Tribune: Pro-
fessor Edward jerks of London gives
a review of the qualifications required
for admission to the bar in the chief
European states. The facts are gath
cred from correspondents at the prin-
cipal capitals. The article was drawn
out by the remarks made not long ago
by Chief Justice Russell, as to the lack
of scientific teaching of the law in Eng
land. A summary of the facts gathered
by Professor jerks in THE Law
Times" article shows that in Germany,
Belgium, Sweden and Norway there is
but one class of practitioners. In
France. Italy and Scotland there is a
separation between the advocate and
the solicitor In Holland there. is a
theoretical distinction between bar
risters and solicitors, but by a recent
law one person may unite both func-
lions. Professor jerks says that in
Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Hol-
land, Sweden and Norway a scientific
study of law in a university is prac-
tieally indispensable as a preliminary
to professional practice. In Scotland
it is indispensable for a barrister, but
not essential, though usual in the case
of a solicitor. In Germany and Bel
GUM apprenticeship or service under
a practitioner is compulsory. In Italy
it is required for barristers, but not for
solicitors. In Scotland the rule is the
other way. France, Holland, Sweden
and Norway do not require previous
apprenticeship. While the information
does not cover all the states of Europe,
it is apparent that England has been
almost alone in failing to offer courses
of study for law at university.

UNEMPLOYED ONTARIO.
Vast Region Known the Hinterland
Is Awaiting Development.

Is Awaiting Development.
OF Ontario's area, estimated at 200
900 square miles, 100000 square miles
are in an unknown region, only the
edges of which have been explored.
This is the territory known as the Hin
terland of Ontario. 1t lies between
Lakes Huron and Superior to the south
and the Albany river and ST. James
bay to the north. In this area is the
Height Land, which separates waters
flowing to Hudson bay and the streams
emptying into the St. Lawrence and
the lakes North of the height is what
is called the Hudson bay slope, consist
ing of about so, 900 square miles. This
slope may be described as unknown
land. The height of land is not ridge
of hills, but is a level plateau some
1900 or 1900 feet above the sea- ''The
scenery says a surveyors report,
though diversified by hundreds of
rivrs and streams and thousands of
lakes and innumerable crags and hills
of rock, is certainly lacking in that no
bility and largeness of view which only
the presence of lofty mountains can
bestow." OF the rivers flowing north
from this slope the Albany is the most
important, being about ATS miles long
and manageable during the season of
high water for $50 miles. Of the short
slope south of the Height Of Land, in
which are situated the settlements Of
North Bay, Sturgeon Falls and Sud-
bury, there is definite and general
knowledge, but the whole territory slop-
ing north remains unexplored.
The Hinderland is Ontarios reserve.
Much valuable timber in this region is
destroyed by fires that sweep south of
the watershed. Pine, spruce, tamarack,
poplar and cedar are varieties of wood
existing in abundance south of the Hud-
son bay slope. Here, too, are valuable
minerals, but the treasures hidden in
the region north of the plateau and the
resources of the plane itself await the
searching of some intrepid explorer.
This year further Investigations are to
be made in both Labrador and the Hin
terland. Meanwhile, no adventurous
spirit need resign itself to obscure in
activity, nor ambitious traveller sigh be-
cause there are not new countries to
traverse. The Hinterland will reward
the eager discoverer, and when he has
exhausted that territory the regions of
the great Northwest remain unsur-
Teyed.

Fought with a wild Cat.

Peter Schultz, Jr., was out in the
woods near Bascom, O., and, while
roaming about, was attacked by a large
wildcat. The vicious animal jumped
on his face, cutting and scratching it
in a most terrible manner, and tearing
his clothing nearly off his back. By
hard struggling and a well-directed
blow from Mr.. Schultz's fist, he freed
himself from the animal, after which
he shot and killed it. About one year
ago Mr. Schultz was in the same wood
and was attacked in a similar way by
a wildcat and he shot the animal,
which he saw limp away. The cat he
killed seems to have been lame, and is
supposed to be the same animal.

IT MAYBE He. CLEMENTS
Who Will Be General Auditor of the
Santa Fe.
Why HIS SELECTION is PROBABLE.

General Railroad News Pertaining to
the Kansas Lines-PerSOnaIS and
Misce1IaheOus Notes.
When the election of the general audi
tor of the road by the board of directors
of the new Santa Fe company takes
place, a surprise may be created in rail-
road circles by the calling to that posi-
ton of a man thoroughly acquainted
with the auditing department of the
Santa Fe, who retired from railroad SER
vice six years ago. This man is II. c.
Clements, auditor of the Santa Fe from
March z, 1881, to November 1, 1890.
The rumor that this will be the out
come of the election as yet lacks anthem
ITCHY from the fact that nothing ia known
in reference to the selection outside of
President Ripley and his immediate as
sociates. 1t is believed by many, how
ever. that this is not unlikely and even
probable.
At the time that 81. c. Clements held
the position of auditor, all the accounting
work, now divided between four offices,
was under his charge. l. 5. Lauck, the
present auditor of disbursements, acted
as chief clerk of the entire office, and
c. Nj. Atwood and w. J. Healy were
chief clerks Of the passenger receipts
and freight receipts departments re-
John w. Rhinehart as general auditor,
the Office of auditor of disbursements
was created and w. Z. Gillett placed in
charge. This position Mr.. Gillett held
but a short time when he was appointed
assistant general auditor, at the same
time assuming the greater portion of tn g
work of auditor. Mr.. Clements was
then assigned the position of auditor of
collateral properties, which position he
held up to November 1. 1890 when he re-
tired from the service of the road.
having been practically frozen out by
John w. Rhinehart, with whose princi-
pies it was known he did not agree.
1t is reasonable to suppose that in the
selection of general auditor the new
management would desire man thor
oughly familiar with the accounts of the
company. In this respect the services
of Mr.. Clements would prove highly
satisfactory. Before he was appointed
auditor in 1881 he acted successfully as
book keeper, chief clerk and cashier in
the auditing department.
The plausibility of the rumor is
strengthened by the fact that ex- presi-
dent William B. Strong was the man who
placed Clements in the position of audit
or, and Mr.. Strong is known to be a warm
personal friend of President Ripley.
Should the occasion offer, Mr.. Strong
would undoubtedly do all in his power
to further the interests of MIR. Clements,
whose abilities he ranks very highly.
Mr.. Clements at present resides in Kan
sas City,

An Unusual Occurrence.

A fox and hunter together stalked
a partridge near Tyson, VT, the other
day, but each unknown to the other.
The bird alighted in an apple tree be-
hind a barn and the hunter tiptoed
around one side of the barn and
brought the bird down. But as the
bird dropped, the fox, coming around
the other side of the barn, seized it
and was off with his dinner before the
hunter could appreciate what had hap
pened.

ENGINES EARNING POWER
Santa Fe Officials Giving Their Atten ii oil
to the Matter.


to the Matter.
CHICAGO, Feb. Santa Fe officials
have recently been turning their atten-
ton to the efficiency and earning power
of their locomotives. A report was
called for by the board the other day.
showing what one additional loaded car
on each freight train on the system
would mean in earnings during the year.
The answer was that if each freight
train carried one more loaded freight
car there would be additional earnings
amounting to $1,000 per locomotive for
the year.
The importance of this is in the fact
that the Santa Fe has something like
1000 locomotives and with the additional
loaded freight car on each train there
would be 81. 100000 in all earned. More
over, this would be net because it would
cost no more TO haul that extra car than
it costs to haul the present load.

DON'T ASK THEN TO
why Should Ministers Bare their
Heads ia BIeak CemeIeries?

At a meeting of the Ministerial union of
Topeka March II, 1890, the following
paper presented by DR.. E. c. Ray, was
adopted, and Dr.. Ray and the Rev.
Biessrs. Blakesley and Smith were APP
pointed to present it to the medical So
cieties. The Topeka Academy of Medi-
cine and Surgery unanimosly approved
the paper, April 10, and appointed
committee which prepared the following
report:
WHEREAS, At funerals in this city
officiating ministers, bearers and male
relatives and friends are accustomed to
show their sympathy and respect by un-
covered heads while passing between the
house or church and the Carriages, and
while standing about the grave during
the interment services; and
WHEREAS, 1t is commonly believed
that such exposure in cold or damp wea-
Their, or to chilling winds often results in
illness: and
WHEREAS, Christ is "Lord of the body
also" and our bodies being His should
not be exposed to injury without suffi.
Gent reason, and self injury is not a
Christian but pagan mode of showing
sorrow, sympathy or respect; and as we
protest against Hindoo widows exhibit
ing sorrow by Offering themselves in
suttee on the burning pyres of their de-
ceased husbands, SO we should protest
versal, which may produce needless dis
ease or suffering; therefore
Resolved, That we respectfully re-
quest the medical societies of this vicin-
ity to express officially their views as to
the safety or danger of the custom of
exposing the uncovered head in urfavor-
able weather at funeral services. that
this ministerial union may have author
itative scientific knowledge to guide it
in deciding whether to approve or to pro-
test against the custom mentioned; and
Resolved, That committee of three
be appointed to present this paper be-
fore the medical societies of this vicin-
ity.
In answer to the above communica-
ton of the ministerial alliance, the
Academy of Medicine and Surgery of To-
peka report as follows:
First-That it is violation of the laws
of health to thus expose the uncovered
head for the length of time usually &C.
cupied in funeral service at the grave,
in cold or Indictment weather, because
of the danger of checking the insensible
Precipitation. chilling the skin and pro-
ducing internal congestion which may
result in a cold or even a fatal at
tack of pneumonia.
Second-There is greater danger on
such occasions of disease resulting from
exposure, because of the depressed con-
dition of the nervous system from grief
and sorrow, especially of the immediate
friends.
Third-We heartily commend the aIli-
ance for this innovation, on a time-hon-
ored and pernicious custom, and for
their advocacy of a greatly needed re-
form. D. c. JONES.
