gree of authority and discretion ac-

of these departments were demoralized,
stricken with hysterical and founder

active operations by the army and

preparations which are carried on I'M

SOME GOOD, SHORT STORIES
Bishop In Queer vestments.
CWashineton StarN

1 heard another story at the conven-
ton that same day, and it was about
certain bishop Two years ago he
was invited to a country house in-I
daren't say where it was, because
you'd not be long guessing the identity
of the bishop. AT any rate, it was a
country house somewhere, and the
bishop came especially to solemnize the
marriage of the daughter OF the mouse.
He arrived or the morning of the cere-
mony, but through somebody's horrible
blunder, the steamer trunk into which
his wife had carefully packed his ca
nonicals did not come by the same
train. The next train from the city
where the Episcopal palace is was to
be the special train carrying the BRIDE
groom and the bride away after the
wedding.
The bishop was as nearly frantic as
bishops ever are. A messenger was
sent Dosthaste to the rector of the par
ish church and returned empty hand
ed The rector and his wife had gone
away, called by the sudden death OF a
kinsman The messenger returned
empty handed, I say, but just as the
assembled guests were beginning TO
dwell on the cheerful imaginings any
delay at a wedding always causes the
bishop entered the fiower-hung draw
ing room he wore MS usual lOun VI
serene dignity and his robe was white
as driven snow. 1t wasn't quite as long
as it might have been, and the yoke
across the shoulders in the back was
a trifle strained but the sleeves were
volumninous and the vestments which
go to make up the ceremonial attire OF
a bishop were there. The ceremony
went off beautifully, but the bride was
! observed to shake now and then with
| Unsurpassed sobs, or at least with
something Unsurpassed, and a brides
maid, who had been frantically busy in
an upper room with needle and thread
and the contents of a bag of silk pieces,
giggled Historically. The bishop, dear
good man, never asked where the robe
he wore came from. The maid servant
of the bride brought it to him. He may
have suspected, but he said nothing
| The guests did not even suspect. Only
the bride and the bridesmaid knew
that from the trousseau there was
missing one white gown of a pattern
worn in the daytime by anybody eX-
cept-Well, except a bishop.

New York Journal.)

New York Journdl.) IL
The alleged fact that the new
representative from Utah is a oolyga-
mist moves Republican contemporary
to demand his exclusion from the
house, and, to moralize:
Utah, by electing this man upon this
avowed issue to congress, has con-
fessed that its people crept into state
hood under false pretences Utah
posed as a repentant sinner longing to
be admitted into the precious privilege
of admission into the Union. By a
protested Reputation of polygamy and
an alleged separation of Mormonism
from its territorial government Utah
claimed to have purified itself into
WorthinesS to become one of the sister
hood of states. But now Utah openly
and 1iagrantly denies this agreement
and cet3es the rest of the nation by
sending to congress a man who openly
Droclaims that plurality of wives is
an essential article of his religious
creed.
Oh, no, it was not the reputation of
polygamy that got Utah into the
Union; it was the understanding that
she would abandon her Democratic
errors and add her mite to the Re
publican strength in congress and the
electoral college ASK Senator Cannon
The understanding was Loyalty carried
out in the first election, but suisse
qaently the "repentant sinner" back
slid into Democracy. Hence these
tears.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Salt Lake theatre has never
had such a house this season as that
which greeted "Gayest Manhattan"
last night. AT 5 o'clock yesterday after
noon every seat III the house was Sold
and a great throng was satisfied with
standing room, even glad to get it. AS
for the show, it is perhaps the best
mixture of clever specialteS ever seen
here. There is an abundance OF albbre-
waited skirts and clever artists wear
ing them, and anyone fancying this
line of amusamentS certainly got value
received. There is a story, but a slim
one. The only excuse for it's presence
is to give the speciality artists an OPP
portunity to do their turns. But who
cares for a story with all the wealth
of feminine beauty, bewitching forms,
dazzling costumes and all that sort of
thing which makes up the modern eX-
travaganzas? "Gayest Manhattan"
is everything that is claimed for
it, and the generous applause which
greeted the artists insures big bust
ness for the balance of the week. The
comedians are good without exception,
and the music is of the popular order,
which captivates. There is nothing
slow about the whole show, and Man
ager Piper ought to wear a broad grin
for several days.

STEWART NOT A MTLLToNA1RE
Nevada Senator's Income Diminish
ing of Late Years.

W. E. Curtis in Chicago Record:
In commenting upon the Reputation of
Senator Stewart by the people of Ne
vada, the newspapers generally make
the mistake of calling him a million
a1re. MIR. Stewart has been a rich man,
more than once, perhaps, in his check
cred career, but he is not now. all
though he has a considerable amount
OF property that is valuable but not
profitable. He has been financially en-
barrassed for several years. and attrib-
utes his trouble to the depreciation of
silver, which is probably true Hence
the zeal and fury with which he at
tacks the goldbugs. He has lot of
silver mine stock and owns a mine in
Mexico which formerly paid him 81 600
month or more, but of late is not
yielding so well.
He is also a member of a syndicate
which owns the suburb of Washington
known as Chevy-Chase, and the trolley
road which leads there. Some day this
property will be valuable, but now
barely earns expenses, and Senator
Stewards investment will continue to
bear poor dividends for some time He
owns a monstrous old-fashioned resi-
dence in Washington, known as Stew

to sell or lease for several years. 1t

Gently was THE Silver Knight" a
weekly newspaper published in the in
terest of free coinage, which has had a
very large circulation at 80 cents a
year, and corresponding advertising
patronage. But people are getting tired
of silver discussion, and several other
publications of similar character
more ably edited, have deprived him of
large portion of his subscription list
Altogether the senator is not in POI
sition to pay very high price for an
other term in the senate, which he will
have to do if he beats Frank Newlands
the authenticated son-in-law of the
la5e Senator Sharon, who will be his
competitor.

The Earrings at the Circus.

Still are they heard-echoes from the
Churchill Barring wedding. That happy
couple have been whisking around in
their little house on wheels, now here.
now there, following the sweet will OF
the bride Gor Mr.. Barring is most
induIgent bridegroom "doing" all
sorts of out of the way places down
south and having remarkably good
time wherever they go.
A story is going the rounds to the
effect that one evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Barring. finding themselves in a small
country town, where they fattered
themselves not a soul existed who had
ever seen either of them before, de-
termined to take in a country circus
SO they strolled along with the country
laws and presently found themselves
comfortably seated and beginning to
enjoy themselves immensely. 1t is
even asserted, although the point has
not been verified, that Mrs. Barring
held in her lap the customary bag OF
peanuts, Indispensable on such an &C
casion About half way through the
programme, just when the bigger part
of the bag of peanuts had been de-
molished, and Immediately after the
disa pDearance from the ring of a lady
in pink tights who had quite thrilled
| the audience by her Derilous leaps
through yellow covered hoops, the
ringmaster, with a preliminary SNAP
of his long whip, advanced to the edge
of the ring, waving a blue envelope
and bawled in tones of thunder, Are
| the Harold Earrings in the house"
The pretty brides face became
scarlet, and even her imDerturbable
husband was for a minute disconnected
! but, of course there was nothing tc
| he done bIIt claim the telegram which
| for all he knew, might contain a mes
sage of the gravest Importance. Judge
of his disgust ENsn he found it hat
reference only to the time his car must
be annexed to the REGULAR train the
next morning. OF course, Mr.. and Mrs
Barring scurried away from the show
as fast as possible, to make things
| lively for the stupid servant who
sent the dispatch after them.

The boys at Manila are getting i'm
patient, even desperate, according to
some of the letters received. They are
sick of the Philippines, sick of the eli
mate, sick of the people, sick of the
rations, sick of army life, seasick,
homesick. and they feel that nothing
but change of air will cure them of
their various ills. But territorial ex-
pansion brings its duties, and that of
the garrison is one of them.

The newsboys were thankful yester-
day. 1t was a day of keen enjoyment
for the little fellows. They played a
game of football, defeating the Muir
ray team, devoured a feast, took a bath
and had a big time generally. Nobody
in the city felt more like giving thanks
than the newsboys did yesterday.
Whether or not they gave them doesn' t
matter. That's the way they felt,
judging from their faces.
