CREDITABLE PERFORMANCES.

Evening - Some New Features
Which Prove Quite An Attraction.

Lemen Bros. circus came to the city
yesterday in the two special trains in
which it travels and opened business
on Pioneer square. The street parade
during the morning was an exception
ally good one and attracted a great deal
of favorable attention. AS this is the
first circus which has appeared in the
city this year, Of course the small boy,
and his sister, were in their element.
The aggreg3 lion met with an accident
at Phillipsburg, Mont, on the 18th Of
last month, the chandelier wagon TAX

general circus performance. The me-

it is a very creditable display.

business yesterday and it appears as if
there would be equally good houses to-
day

PUSSY in OUR NAVY.
The Government Makes Regular Ap-
preparations For the Cats.

When Major General Merritt sailed
from San Francisco he asked the gov
eminent authorities for three cats to
take TO Manila. Probably the trio of
American felines are now teaching
Yankee habits to their misguided fell
lows of the islands, for it was Major
General Merritt's intention to send
them ashore when he landed. The cats
came from the commissary depot in
San Francisco. and their progenitor
may be seen there any day, busted
among the barrels and boxes or DOING
laZily in some snug corner.
1t is not generally known. says the
San Francisco Chronicle. that the gov
eminent spends several thousands of
dollars annually for the maintenance
of cats, but the accounts of the United
States depot commiSsaries prove it,
In every storehouse there are from
one to five of the animals. and their
rations are provided as carefully and
regularly as those of any OF the gal
liant soldiers.
their Individual tastes disregarded. as
are those of the enlisted men. but they
are allotted so many pounds of choice
beef or any other delicacy their palates
may desire OF course they may have
as much game as they wish, and the
storehouses seldom fail to furnish an
unlimited supply of rats and mice.
That the cats save many times their
cost of support is we'll known, as such
supplies as crackers. cheese, bacon,
flour and meal are much sought after
by the rodents.
That the army cats in San Francisco
are well treated may be judged from
the fact that while New York quotes
cents per day per cat as the price OF
cat meat, Colonel Baldwin. depot COM
missary here, finds cents as low as
he can get the proper sort Of beef for
the felines which protect his stores.
Some time ago a new attache of the
warehouse procured a terrier and in
stalled him in the territory of The
Colonel" who is the father of the ami
mails Major General Merritt took with
him. The next morning the dog was
found beside two r%ts, badly Scared,
while THE Colonel guarded five with
pride that spoke in the severe arch
of his back and his loud meows. The
terrier was forthwith removed
All men-of-war carry cats. Their
usefulness is never more apparent than
on shipbOard. The writer was crossing
from Antwerp to New York on the
steamship Southwark when he was
awakened by the sudden stopping of
the ship, an occurrence which, happen
ing in midocean, generally means
serious. The passengers
rushed on deck half-clad, and We're dis
gusted to learn that a rat, having
crawled into the cylinder, had caused
the halt. Such an action on a man-Of-
war in time of action might be fear
fully paid for. and an active cat is the
only preventative of such a POSSIBLE
ity.
1.-THE Colonel has host of admirers.
and in his many years in the army he
has become the pet of many officers
and clerks. and the prOgenitOr of many
other cats whose rafting qualities have
won them distinction.

SHE CARRIED VITR|OL
TO THROW AT HER FAITHLESS
HUSBAND.
An Ogden Man Who Is Bigamist at
Least-The Legal Wife In Search
of Him.

A young man who formerly resided in
Ogden, and who is related to some of
the best people in that city, may thank
his lucky star that he was not in the
Junction City yesterday. The youth in.
question, short time ago, and upon
a very slight acquaintance, took unto
himself wife, which, in itself, is moth
ing either extraordinary or reprehensi-
Bile. Yesterday, however, a lady arrived
in Ogden from the state of Washing
ton. She had a determined look about
her which meant business, and she lost
no time in seeking out the relatives of
the recently married young man, ex-
pecting to find him with them. She,
however, was not successful in the lat
ter part of her quest, the object of her
search being at the present time in the
north. She, however, made known to
his relatives the object of her visit to
ogden. She claimed to be the wife of
the youth who had recently gone
through the marriage ceremony with
another lady. and in support of her
claim she exhibited a marriage certifi-
cate, which seemed to be perfectly @ K
and at the same time she showed a
bottle of vitriol and announced her in
tention of throwing the ardent fluid
upon the face, head and other parts
of the body of her faithless husband as
soon as she can find him.
1t took a great deal of persuasion
to convince her that the object of her
wrath was not in the house, but fin
ally she was induced to leave. She
went away still in anger, and carrying
her bottle of vitriol along She re-
manned in Ogden last night, but an
nounced her intention of continuing in
the pursuit of her recalcitrant hus-
band, and at least dishgurirg him for
life by means of the vitriol.

ASTOUNDING STATEMENT,
CONTINUED From Page ~

reporter last evening sought an inter-
view with the choir's leader Profess
Sor Stephens made the following state
ment:
Il heard only part of Apostle Tay-
lor's discourse. 1 was not within hear
ing when the apostle made reference to
the moral reputation of the singers,
but when 1 returned to my post / was
told by several choir members of the
purport of this particular portion of his
remarks. Immediately / conferred with
President Joseph F. Smith, and he as
sured me that the matter would re-
ceive attention. The effect of Apostle
Taylor's remarks had already been IN
der consideration by the presidency,
and later, as doubtless you know, Pres
ident Cannon made an explanatory
statement.
II have no doubt that Apostle Tay-
lor's intentions were of the best-that
he merely wished. in his zeal, to adj
monish his hearers to care well for their
good regulations, but 1 question the
wisdom of his remarks. Possibly some
proprietors of resorts of ill-fame and
roomkeepers have falsely stated, in or
der to give out an impression that they
have patronage from Saints or Nor
mons, that members of our choir are
on their visiting lists, and likely also
such a report has reached the ears of
Apostle Taylor, who; without due in
vestigation, repeated the gossip before
this vast audience. Naturally the MEM
bers of the choir felt hurt over the ref
erence of Apostle Taylor to this mat
ter. The lady singers especially had
their pride and feelings wounded until
President Cannon offered an explana-
ton for the indiscriminate charge.
ALL GOOD regulations Ii
BELED.
You say that the people look to me
as the father or sponsor of the choir
to express my sentiments Well, /
have, and 1 want you to say further
that L regard each and every member
of the large choir as moral, exemplary
young men and young women. Some
are of mature years. All belong to good
families and many are connected with
families whose responsibility is of the
highest order. OF course. am not, and
cannot be held responsible for the con-
duct of the choir members, but 1 am
a close observer, and have never seen
nor heard anything that would cast a
breath of suspicion on the good, vir-
tuous name of a single lady or gentle
man in the choir. The parents, kindred
and friends of the choir members, 1
can assure L DO not and Will not be-
lieve there is the slightest foundation
for any gossip or scandal that would
jeopardize their justly eminently re-
spectacle and chaste reputation.
L regret very much that this mat
ter should have been spoken of from
the pulpit, and in the newspapers, but
since it has been made public 1 am
glad of the opportunity to make this
statement, if anybody has considered it
necessary to cure the wrong uninten-
tionally inflicted by Apostle Taylor"

BITS OF INFORMATION.

In the earlier ages dancing was adj
vocated as cure for sickness. Lycur-
gus brought back from India and
Egypt to Lacedemonia notions of
medico-religious dances and enacted
that the Spartan youth should be
brought up gracefully and symmetri-
cally. In Greece, Socrates commended
dancing with a view to educating the
mind and body. for he looked on it as
a health-giving device.
Because they did not have fire en-
gines enough to successfully fight big
fire down in Memphis, Tenn, last Fri
day, firemen of the companies had to
devote themselves at intervals to
drenching the various squads of hose
men to prevent them from being pros
trated by the intense heat This is said
to be the first time that a disastrous
fire was ever subdued under such pc
culiar circumstances

Miss Campbell Adopted Basket
Weaving as a Profession.
Every now and then some woman
which is so simple and so womanly one
wonders it was not thought of sooner
The weaving of baskets seems a COM
monplace enough occupation as a
means of support, yet it seems the dis
covery was only made the other day,
and by Misses Mabel and Stella Camp
bell, two young women scarcely out of
their teens. Miss Mabel, the elder of
the two sisters, is quite enthusiastic
about her work, and gives pleasant
account of their beginning and sue
cess.
The idea" she explains, first came
to my sister five years ago when she
visited Aiken, S. c. OF course, every
one who has been to Aiken remembers
the little baskets woven of pine needles
which are made and brought TO the
hotels for sale by the country women.
They are simple, rather pretty and al
most useless little receptacles, but they
gave Stella her starting point. She
visited one of the cracker women,
spent an entire day with her, and
learned just how the work was done.
In fact, she made little basket her
self, and during her stay in Aiken be-
came quite an expert.
