SOLVING. THE STRIKE QUESTION. Just then ring at the front door came, and an expressmanua with a parcel. It was g o'clock

 My sister with slender figure, here is summer dress for you to have made while the dressmaker is doing your spring sewing. It is to be worn without corsets, which indeed are only disfiguring to a slender figure. The idea of it is to allow the muscles of the chest and waist to, have. a holiday poor, tired, shut up -.things!-to give them at least some time when they can use their powers as, good Dame Ma ture intended they should be used. And the costume is both artistic and becoming. A pretty colored waist of silk or muslin, kept in place at the waist by a ribbon or tape, is the foun- dation of the dress. The other piece is a sleeveless, low necked princesslike skirt and waist in one, fitted to the natural figure and finished by strap of the material over each shoulder. The choice of the material itself is a matter of personal taste. A light weight serge makes up well, and if braided prettily about the yoke and around the bottom of the skirt forms a charming costume. The seams of the dress may be boned, but the bones, as will readily be understood, must not, as in everyday corrected costumes, run down below the waist line to bend and break with the movementeof the hips. The bones must be short and are sim ply designed to keep the seams straight and give the waist a neat, appearance.

 Personally, in manners and in tastes, Mrs King is very feminine. Her adora- tion is her daughter Julia, who took the gold medal for oratory at Wolfe Hall when 16 years old, was graduated from that institution at IT and was then sent by her mother to the Emerson College of Oratory at Boston, where she studied four years and at gradua- tion was made a member of the facul ty. For the past three seasons Miss King has appeared in the Boston star course, which is considered one of the finest in the United States. For two seasons she has been advertised as Boston's representative reader. She also represents the Emerson College of Oratory at it's summer sessions, which are held at Martha's Vineyard.
 Miss King has recently lectured on. "The Emerson System of Physical Gull ture'' before the Massachusetts Wom- ans Suffrage association and at the national congress of mothers at Wash ington, where as great interest was awakened in the speaker as in the system, and audience and press spoke of the young reader in the highest terms of commendation.

 F, T see, that Maurice Barrymore has been a recent attraction at one of the continuous performance theaters. 1 confess to feeling of relief that he will not be seen for some time on the boards Of the Legitimate. The fancy of New Workers for Maurice Barrymore as an actor is thing I have never been able to comprehend. I believe that he is one, of the most admired, physically speaking, of the actors on the Ameri- can stage. I see in him nothing but a man with 8 barber's block sort of beau- ty, with the bearing of Bowery swell and histrionic power of mediocre quality, I-could never understand Miss Nethersole's selection of him to play Armand to her Camille. The reason may have been that it was difficult to find an experienced actor who was available at the time. It spoiled the play for me. I could not conceive of the possibility of any young woman dying for love of an Armand of that calfber. As the attraction at a vaude- vile house E have no doubt he will be great success.
 T fleard~not long ago an amusing story of the large hearted, genial bishop of New York. He had occasion to visit for confirmation a country place in the interior of the state. He was hospitably entertained by one of the first families, and in his honor the lady of the house covered the dressing table of the room in which he slept with silver backed brushes and other feminine parapherna- lia. After the bishop had gone, so the story goes, the silver was missed, and the first idea was to telegraph to Bish- op Potter: "Silyer disappeared from dressing table. Can you tell me any, thing about it?" The answer was brief. but to the point: Poor, but honest. Look in the bureau drawer"
 The laconic character of this reply calls to my mind an incident in my own experience which occurred last summer as I was journeying between this city and Digby, Nova Scotia, for visit. On arriving at Boston I discovered, to my consternation, that my keys were mo- where to be found, and I wired my friends in New York: Have left my keys at HOIHe. fledSe IOTWuTu tO DlSDy at once" On reaching Digby. I found the following waiting for me: Cant find keys. Take an ax.'
 Fancy handkerchiefs have been In vogue for some time. Fine linen and null, embroidered or with an edge of lace, have been used during the past two years. Now the best form is the handkerchief of fine linen, with nar- row hemstitched border. A tiny initial embroidered in the corner is also con- sidered in good taste.
 Owing perhaps to a more extended knowledge of hygiene among girls, the silk underwear, so dear to the feminine heart, is giving place to that of an all wool fabric.

There was quite a difference of opin- ion among the ladies of the Woman's S Press club at one of their recent meet ings as to the advisability of military drill in schools. One lady held very viz orously to the idea that this Keeping perpctually before .he mind of the child the representation of warfare, educat- ing him to think of the staying of his fellow men as q natural and justifiable thing, was calculated to nodrish in him just those tendencies which the spirit of the age is striving to overcome. To settle national differences by arbitra- ton rather than bloodshed is the de- sired outcome of nineteenth century development. Others among the ladies present contended for the fine physical health induced by the military training and the nanliness and sense of respon- sibility, order and obedience which it encouraged I cannot help thinking that 1t would be Q great pity to lose the splendid education in unquestioning, prompt obedience and the fine, manly bearing which military drill gives. It is a nice point. I hope to hear further discussion upon the subject.

The wealth and greatness of the
state of Utah is in her mines, and
yesterday two of the mining corpora
tons of the commonwealth came to
the front with their usual announce
ment of regular monthly dividends,
which, when paid, will distribute the
handsome sum of $4,000 to the fortu-
nate stockholders of these organiza-
tions.
In the morning the Mercur directors
met and declared its regular monthly
dividend of $4,000, or 121A cents a share
on the caDital stock of the company,
payable on the Goth of this month,
which will bring the total amount paid
by the corporation up to the sum of
$3.50, 600
From reliable sources it is learned
that the Mercur mine is looking ex-
ceedingly well-better than ever be-
fore in its history. and it is believed
when the company has completed the
addition to its milling capacity that
the monthly distributions of wealth
VIII be materially increased.
In the afternoon the Bullion Beck
directory also held a meeting and de-
clared a dividend for March of 80 cents
a share, or $4,000, also payable on the
10Th inst
The Bullion-Beck has already paid
$4,000 this year, and the addition of
the March divy will make a grand
total of $4,000 for the first three
months ot 1897.
1t was stated at the meeting that
the reports from the mine were of
a most encouraging nature, and it is
the prevailing opinion that the COM
pany can continue the payment of
these heavy dividends for an indefinite
period.
At the meeting of the directors of
the Bullion-Beck yesterday a new rule
was adopted. and beginning on that
date, the books of the company were
closed for transfers of stock until the
21st, and hereafter the transfer books
will be closed on the night of the 9Th
of the month. and will remain closed
until the 21st.
1t is understood that hereafter the
secretary of both companies will make |
a charge of 25 cents for the transfer of |
stocks.

The Springs Mascot.

Work is being pushed in the develop
ment of the Mascot lode, in the Hot
Springs district, which is located north
OF the city, between the Warm and
Hot Springs, and as depth is attained
the values are improving.
Yesterday the workings of the Mas
colt were down to a depth of Is feet,
and it is stated that the bottom of
the shaft has disclosed a seven-foot
body of ore that assays $40 in gold to
the ton.
This is an encouraging showing, and
the owners of the lode will eXpend con-
siderable time and money in its de-
velopment, as they feel satisfied that
1T is the making of a paying mine, and
they propose to show that right here,
almost within the corporation limits of
Salt Lake, there is a second Mercur.
Quite a number of people are becom-
ing interested in the mineral deposits
in the near vicinity of this city, and as
soon as the snow goes off little more
it is their intention to prospect the
foothills north and east of Zion in a
thorough manner.

Chicago Live Stock.

Union Stock Yards, ILL.,, March To-
AS was expected, the advance in prices
of cattle on Monday started a good
many this way and the receipts today
were about 1880 head against 9,315
last Wednesday. For the first half of
the week the receipts foot up 49, 450, as
compared with &c, 343 for the same por-
ton of last week, and 1869 for the
corresponding time year ago The
increased supply caused the weaker
feeling today, and sales were slow with
prices generally 10 cents under those
of yesterday.
Hogs-About $4,000 hogs reached here
today, against 1858 last Wednesday,
and the receipts for the first half of
week aggregated 1850 as compared
with 99,747 for the same portion of last
week and $4,000 a year ago. The market
today was firm, and prices advanced
cents per 100 pounds.
Sheep-The estimated run today was
$4,000 head and trade was fairly active
at steady prices.
Cattle-Receipts. $4,000. Choice to
prime steers, $5.00@5.30; medium steers,
S4.30G4.50; cows and heifers, choice to
prime, S3.S0@4.15; cows, commons to
fancy, $5.60G610; Texas fed steers, fair
to choice, $3.35@4.25
Other prices unchanged.

ing and shipping lots, $S.6O@3.S5; COM

The Swansea Mine.

Swansea stock was very firm yes
terday, and it is the general impression
that the company is about to declare a
dividend for March or else announce a.
new strike in the mine.
A month or two ago The Herald gave
it out cold that there was reason to
believe that the stock of the Swansea
was being beared by one or more of
the officers of the incorporation and
now there is hardly any doubt but
that this was the case, and it is whis-
pered that some very ugly charges
could be brought and sustained against
at least one of the officers of the COM
pany in the matter of stock manipu-
lation, and it is alleged that this same
official. after assisting in the breaking
down Of the stock, has been buying
heavily, and that during the week he
has corralled at least 500 shares of
this security.
AS a matter of fact, there has never
been a time during the past few months
when the mine did not look as we'll as
ever, reports to the contrary notwith-
standing.

problem is still a subject that is caus-

many things seem to point to an early
settlement of the question -as to future
intentions.
claimed to be satisfactory, this much
is known: The result of the expert
ments made last fall were entirely sue
cessful, but to make assurance doubly
sure, Professor Clements was detailed
to duplicate the experiments. This was
completed last week, and the report
sent to Captain De Lamar.
Manager Cohen is at De Lamar, New,
but he has sent back an order to pro-
coed with the work of putting in the
electric light plant The plant will be
put in at Ophir, occupying portion of
the pump house, and the machinery
that drives the pump will be used to
run the electric light machinery. The
plant will be large enough to supply
1000 lights, should occasion require, but
only enough power to supply 1000 lights
will be put in operation at present
The fact that the order has been
given to go ahead with the work on
the electric light plant is suggestive
of work in another direction. Mr.
Cohen will probably be at De Lamalsa

that on his return work on the Golden

All day yesterday the reservation

Late at night came a wire from

of the opening of the mineral lands on
