SOME FEW FACTS.

Miss Helen Gould is not the only per-
son who has given Uncle Sam a lift in
the way of cold cash. A thousand dol
lars each have been sent TO the treas
ury by q man and woman of the city
OF New York, and a gift of $500 came
from a Pole in Nebraska, who wrote
that he owed more than he could ever
Pay for the freedom afforded him in
the United States. Also a British sub
ject, in England, sent "S5 from a hum
bic adnirer" of the government.
A man who was wanted in two coun-
ties of Kansas for grand larceny was
arrested in Fort Scott the other day,
and bound over in the sum of 81, 500 for
his appearance at that place. The au-
thoritieS of the other county provided
the bail for the prisoner, and took him
to st. Paul for trial. The chances are
strongly in favor of his being convict
ed and sent to the Denitentiary; and
the query has arisen as to how, in that
event, the county could escape the pay
ment of the Fort Scott bond.

New York. June 25.-One of the larg-
est crowds of the season visited Sleeps
head Bay today. The chief event on
the card was the $4,000 great trial
stakes, in which the crack 2-year-old
Jean IBeraud was down to carry 129
pounds. He was the favorite at odds
of 2 to 3, while Gelenheim was well
backed at to 2, and the other horses
were nibbled at by the half holiday
crowd. At the 18th post Jean Beraud
shot out of the bunch and in an instant
he had opened a gap of three lengths.
and it was all over, as far as the 9th
ers were concerned, for they could
never get anywhere near him; He won
very easily, beating Kingdom four
lengths. MI Phinizy got third place.
Then came the Sheepshead Bay han
dicap, in which Ornament declined TO
carry the proper weight, and was
scratched. The start was made in a
terrific rain and dust storm. The horses
ran into it as they came into the stretch
ard Taral kept his head, stole in the
rail, and in an instant had come from
the far rear, and was leading the way
home, eventually winning what looked
like hopeless race by three lengths.

Fully 500 men, women and children in
Park City are homeless and thrown upon
the charity Of their neighbors for food,
clothing and a place to sleep. The big
fire last Sunday left them shelterless and
penniless. Many who saved their homes
saw their places of business totally de-
stroyed. with little or no insurance to
rely upon. thus wreaking their financial
ruin. These are in poor condition to ex-
tend a helping hand to their more un-
fortunate townspeople. The good people
of the mountain city once prosperous and
always generous never turning a deaf
ear to a worthy appeal for public or
private relief. are recovering from the
fires excitement only to find that their
condition Is more helpless than was at
first believed.
The sticken people themselves and their
sympathetic neiShborS announced through
the public prints that they believed no
assistance would be necessary from Salt
Lake city or elsewhere in the state. Now,
however. it is known positively that to
impose the whole burden of relief upon
the few who did not suffer financial
losses in the fire, would result in many
poor worthy family suffering for the
necessities of life. not. however, from d
lack of desire in their own community to
afford the relief, but because of made
Quate means.
Until such time as the sufferers can OBJ
tain employment elsewhere it is impera-
tive that the people of Salt Lake and citf-
Zens throughout the state, all of whom
have profted through Park Citys former
prosperity, should make liberal, prompt
ana general response to the appeal for
aid. True, some little has been done al
ready toward relieving the condition of
the needy sufferers, but it is not enough
byS-a 1.-THE.
The committee of Park City women,
representing the aid societies of the
Catholic, Latter-day Saints, Congrega-
tioDal, Methodist and Episcopal churches
are working as best they can with the
limited means at their command to re-
lieve the distress in their midst, but their
efforts must be seconded by the generous
people in this metropolis and elsewhere to
make their relief work successful to the
degree that every good citizen desires.
1t is especially desired that the min
listers of the several church call attention
today to the urgent need of liberal and
prompt contributions in the way of /
money, food and clothing for the Park /
City relief fund
On Monday the bankers, the merchants !
and the public generally should come to /
the rescue and make the relief movement |
popular and effective.

Hon. r. c. Chambers returned yester-
