The Literary Society composed OF
pupils of the advanced grades III school,
met for the first time last Friday alter

should women be allowed to vote was
discussed and decided in favor OF the
negative. We presume this much dis

GOOD NEWS.

Superintendent Ag1er returned lloih
San Francisco yesterday morning ana
continued on to Ogden.
The great rush of business over the
Central Pacific is taxing the motive
power beyond its capacity and Mr.. Agler
went to make a personal plea for more
engines for the Salt Lake division.
Superintendent Agler brought back
with him some very good news for our
people.
In conversation with General Manager
Kruttschnitt the subject OF the much
talked about fence came in for a gener-
Gus share OF deliberation.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt said in view OF the
peculiar condition of affairs here-the
way the town is built, the residence
portion being on one side of the track
the business houses III the other-it
could be readily seen that the fence
greatly Inconvenience orr people.
On the other hand, the plans of en-
closing the plants Of the Company at
various points, proved to be as great a
success as anticipated, the fence here
would stand as originally intended.
However, considering all the condi-
tons, the Company would build a foot
bridge over the tracks and grounds, and
! before Mr.. Agler had left the city he
was shown a blue print of the proposed
foot-bridge.
One end of it will be on the north
| side of the fence and about in front Of
| Engineers Hall and the other about the
the east end of the depot park. From
the views of the Company as regards
expense and general convenience it was
| chosen as the most desirable place to
build.
The location permits US to assume
that the bridge will be of architectural
beauty and an attractive feature of our
town., ornamental as we'll as useful.
A. H. Griswold, W. S. McRacken
and Fred Younghans are deserving Of
| the thanks OF the community for pre-
senting the situation here III such a
favorable way as to command the atten-
ton of Messcrs Fillmore and Curtis
when they we're in Wadsworth recently.
Those gentlemen in turn referred it to
superintendent Agler and the result is
as above.
The construction of this bridge for the
convenience OF our people is one more of
the many evidences of consideration and
goodwill the Southern Pacific Company
have always shown Wadsworth.
It is in the nature of a surprise, as
pleasing as unexpected, and no doubt at
the prope time in a mass meeting our
people will ittingly express the appre-
citation they must feel.

''The typewriter has weakened inter
est in authors manuscripts" said q
well-known collector. "A few years
ago most authors wrote their books
with pen in hand, and their individual
ity lived along the lines and their moods
were mirrored in the changes in their
handwriting. You could tell when the
work in hand was heavy pulling, and
when the imagination flew on the
wings of the wind, and the free, willing
hand followed in strong, easy sweeps
and curves. Now authors dictate to a
stenographer, and their manuscripts
are q long dead level of mechanical
evenness. The manuscript tells ALSO
lutely nothing of the author. He is
eliminated by the typewriter. - Chica,

Americans Her best Customers.

An Englishwoman, expert in PAIN
istry, who is highly esteemed in Lon
don, says that Americans are among her
best customers. She does not consider
Americans more superstitious than
other persons on this account; she
credits it to their vanity. They like to
talk about themselves, she says, and
palmistry gives them good opportun-
ity to hear much upon the all-important
subject. Many business men patronizc
her. One Of her best customers is a de-
tective, who believes that she helps him
wonderfully. In connection with
Americans the palmist says that one of
her most lucrative summer vacations
was taken in the Catskills, where board
was given her, together with the doc
tor, manicure and hairdresser. and she
reaped a rich harvest in plying her
w0rk.--N. -. Times. u, s ,8 81

EUROPE AND AMERICA,
Forecast of the Results Of a Gener.
War in the Old World.

Forecast of the Results of a General
War in the Old World.
In the event of al general European
war, with England in the foreground,
the United States would be deeply inter-
ested in the course of events. The war
would certainly affect this country in
some measure, and in several ways.
It would be foolish to attempt to make
any forecast of the results of a war so
gigantic, sanguinary and destructive
Great changes would surely be brought
about by it.
It is possible that, at the end of the
war, the Dominion of Canada would be
one with the United States, with the
consent or at the urgent, desire of it's
people. It is likewise possible that all,
or nearly all, the islands of the West
Indies, fronting our country, would be
joined to the American union.
In the event of general European
war hostilties would not be confined to
Europe. They would very surely ex-
tend to Asia, to Australia, and to those
parts of America in which the war;
ring powers possess provinces, islands
OF any piece of territory. Were France
hostile to England, for example, it, is
probable that her navy would attack
British Guiana, British Honduras, the
British West Indies, British Columbia,
Newfoundland and eastern Canada. In
that event there would be war of Euro
Pean powers very near the southern
part of our own country, the western
part of it and this part of it. 1t is posi-
bic that the people of those regions
who would be liable to suffer from war
Oh account of a quarrel in which they
were not concerned might seek for safe
ty by asking us to receive them into the
American union.
No man can conceive the changes that
might be brought about through a lcr!g g
and sanguinary general European war,
with England in the combat, and all
her foreign possessions in it, her pos
sessions in Asia, in Africa, Australia
and America. 1t is possible that before
the end of the nineteenth century the
American flag may be the protector of
Halifax, Quebec, Winnipeg, Vancouver,
Bahama and Jamaica, as we'll as Of Cuba.

FIERCE RoBBER CRABS.

One of Them Makes 1t Hot for a Man
Who Reaches Into Its Burrow.
A man in the Ellice group of islands
in the South Pacific ocean found a
heap of teased-out cocoanut fiber and
coooanut shells at the foot of a large
pcra tree. He recognized the work of
palm crab, or cocoanut eater, and
looked about him for the burrow. He
found it and carefully felt in it to ascer-
tain which way it.turned. He had his
arm in to the shoulder when something
seized his wrist. He shouted with pain
and tried to pull his hand out, but could
not. | -.
Awhile man was fishing on nearby
reef, and, hearing the shouts, came to
the rescue. He tore the earth and mat
ted roots away, and quickly saw that
the owner of the hurrow, a palm crab,
had resented the intrusion. of G. hand
and had crushed the bones with it's
grip. A sheath knife plunged through
the pendulous tail caused the crab to
loosen its hold. The curious man did
not recover the use of his hand.
The palm crab, which is known as the
robber crab also, is one of the most
powerful of the crab family, and is
credited with all sorts of feats of
strength and some feats of agility. Its
tail is short, somewhat like a Holsters,
and fat. The fat and the white flesh of
the animal render it a delicacy highly
relished by the Englishmen, Pan
matuans, Society islanders and Ton
guans.
The robber crabs are great fighters.
When one of their kind enters the bur-
row of another the intrusion results in
a nip-and-grip contest, in which legs are
crushed and other damage done. The
great strength Of the nippers is due to
their constant use in shearing open the
oocoanut shells to get the pulp on which
the crabs feed. When a crab is con-
fined in a tin box, the box must be care
fully examined first and any loose
edges soldered down and holes filled
up. If the crab gets a place where it
can use it's nippers as shears and tongs
combined, the box is opened up in short
order. A man living in the Tonga group
who neglected to examine box care
1IWlJ StOIcA d. CIdU Ill IL Oh Tue porch.
Next morning the crab and half the
house monkey were gone.
These crabs are very fond of turtle
eggs. They have eyes especially adapt
ed to seeing cocoanuts in trees and
trails of crabs on the ground. They
can sec in all directions at once. They
are so fond Of turtle eggs that when two
of them meet on nest fight to the
death follows. Louis Becke was walk
ing on an island in the Ellice group with
native companion, when the native
burst out laughing. He had seen three
of the robber crabs in one bunch with
their 80 legs so tangled about one an
other that they could not release their
holds on the approach of the men. All
they could do was to roll their eyes
about. One of the three had two of it's
armored legs crushed by the nipper of
one of the others. The native took q
vine which grew near by, lassoed the
lot, wound them about with it, and
carried them off.-N. Y. Sun.

Royal Wedding Cakes,

Messrs. Bollard, of Chester, have
made the wedding cakes for the prince
of Wales and the royal family. The
construction of these cakes tends tc
become more and more marvellous every
year. The actual process of baking
lasts from FIVE to seven hours, and at
this stage, when the tins are turned out
in the cake room, each cake resembles
nothing SO much as one of the cele.
brated Cheshire cheeses. No cake is
sent out until it is ma tured for at least
six months, and the demand is of such
an extensive character that stock OF
over 1000 pounds is always kept in the
seasoning room.-NVoman at Home.

AS an offset for killing the mining

was ruling by Speaker Jones that
