Perhaps. Nevertheless, it waited to a

The attempt to abolish the "claque''

London Chronicle, has been followed
by some lively times. An instant re-
suit was that each performer provided |
a band of private supporters. Not con- |
tent with applauding their employers, |
these hirelingS thought it necessary to |
hiss all rival singers, and the auditor |
ium became almost as lively a place |
as the reichsrath. Accordingly, the ad- |
posted up a notice forbid |
ding any applause whatever, but this
decree was no so worded as
to prohibit signs of approval. Thus it
came about that the prima donna, Frau
kupferstein, had to face a storm of

struction of the cargo of tea in Boston
harbor by a band of disguised patriots.
They recognize in the tremendous and
ever memorable tragedy, enacted upon
bloody battlefields, between north and
south, the Intervention of Divine Provi-
dence in securing the triumph of the
noble principles for which the war was
fought Logically. they cannot fail to
discern the same supernatural agency,
molding and shaping the institution of
the south, that such a triumph over hui
man slavery might be forever register
ed, and its righteous indictment her
aided to the world.
This assumption of supernatural in
Prevention is only in keeping with
scrlptural philosophy. upon which the
whole Super-Structure of Christianity
is predicated. An evil principle was
an indispensable part of the divine
economy in the enactment of the first
scene in the long drama of the trans
actions of men. The race could not
have been, but the yielding of the prim-
tive pair in paradise to the tempta-
tons of the evil genii, which was but
the execution of a part of an indefinite
plan determined upon by a council of
the gods before the foundation of this
world was laid. The legacy of sin and
death transmitted to subsequent gen
erations, consequent upon the disObe-
dience to the divine mandate, must for
ever have been the unhappy lot of
mankind but for the treason of Judas
Iscariot, whose mission upon earth was
as much to betray the Master as the
Masters mission was to redeem.
The argument therefore resolves itself
into the existence of well-established
psychological and physiological law:
That the naturalization of virtue and
excellence in human affairs can only
be understood and appreciated in their
proper relations by opposition and con-
traSt; that the Hottest and purest
pleasures of life are the children of
and that the noblest
of civilization are butt
triumphs over degeneracy, retrogres-
sion and decay The inevitable deduc- |
ton to be drawn from this philosophy |
of the racial problem is that the ulti- !
mate destination awaiting the children |
of Adam must be the product of some |
great, incomprehensible, infinite de- |
sign. but sufficiently patent to the'un-
ierstanding of mortals to imDart rea-
sonable assurance of ultimate security |
in the domain of definite peace and or
Ter and earthly perfection.
The foregoing premises granted, then,
will the war confer a benediction of
infinite value to the cause of evolution,
whatever may be the momentary IA
,alities strewn in its pathway?

CHASED A FLYING DUTCHMAN
PICTURESQUE INCIDENT OF THE
CUBAN BLOCKADE.
How the Flagship New York Over
hauled Lumber-laden Bark From
Norway-Skipper Was Scared.


Copyright. 1895. by the Associated Press
Key West, May 2S-The New York
had left the fleet far behind and was
speeding toward Key West with the
Vesuvius as consort- AS the sun was
going down a sail was sighted. Incl
dentally, the New York has a habit
of getting a prize the minute she leaves
the fleet Consequently, the jackieS
became jubilant and the propellers
churned the water as they had not done
since the tardy monitors made a lag
gard out of the fleet, and when the
New York towed them.
With foam swishing from her bow
the flagship steamed toward the
strange sail, then, growing dim again
with the fading background of the dy
ing sunset Like the sunset scene off
cuba, II was glorious, more beautiful
than any remembered, even by those
who have chiefly cruised the tropics.
For two hours the smoke poured from
the New York's tunnels. The sea was
perfectly calm, and the flagship was
going as speedily as when she captured
the steamer Pedro on the first day of
the war.
Gradually the strange sail doomed
black against a light cloud. There was
no need to fire a gun, because the flag
ship was going up alongside the stran-
ger, though down below stood the gun
captain with itching fingers. Sudden
ly the searchlights were turned on the
chase, and there, a. living picture shed
on dark screen, was an old-fashioned
bark under full sail. The rays of the
searchlights just embraced her from
the water line to the royals. She lay
there like a second flying dutchman, a
sudden apparitiOn- The man at the
wheel shaded his eyes from the glare
Of the searchlights. and her crew gath
cred about the deck house On her
poop stood a phlegmatic looking red
bearded man, wearing a blue shirt,
open at the neck. Apparently he was
the skipper of the bark.
What boat is that?" asked Lieuten-
ant Marble, the officer of the deck, |
rem the bridge of the New York.
In came torrent of words in an I'M |
Known tongue from the red-bearded |

Again Lieutenant Marble shouted his |
question. and, with a German accent, |

"Eh?' asked the Varonica'S skipper,
i tones which embraced fear.
In order to set at rest the disturbed
hind of the bark'S commander, the
eutenant yelled his message of good

''Ahr' was the exclamation of relief

Dear Hal.


Dear Hal: May IS.
1t is a serious thing to trihe with
our theatre-going public
Reginald Bunthorne, who remarked to
Archibald Grosvenor that he was very
terrible when thwarted, was not a cir
cumstance to the Salt Lake theatre
goer when he fancies a snide theatrical
attraction has been foisted upon him.
The unanimity with which our the
tre-loving public can stay away from
a performance that it has made I'D its
mind to frown upon, is only equaled by
the way it can flock to a show that i'm

The week past has brought two Illus
trations of this fact. Marie Jansen

her a rose scented past, but a mildewy
present.
She fancied that the memory of those

REED OPPOSES ANNEXATION.
Consideration of the Question Waste

Chicago, MAY ga special to the
News from Washington says: Speaker
Reed is using the following argument
as his reason for opposing the annexa-
tio-. of Hawaii:
IAN annexation resolution cannot
pass congress. An attempt will result
in a debate that will be a continued
one and dilatory. This discussion will
be acrimonious and profitless. 1t will
prolong congress indefinitely and keep
the members here when they should be

The debate would inject into the con-

Dangerous Thief.

A French actress, travelling about the
country, had 70, use III one of her plays
a lay figure, skillfully put together and
dressed in a travelling suit. So says the
New York Herald, which proceeds to
tell a comical story about it:
At Marseilles it vas left in the lug
gage room with other things. The curl
osity of two of the railway employees
being aroused at the sight Of it, they
took off the coverings and resolved to
play u joke on their comrades. They
placed the figure in an armchair at the
desk of the cashier and shut the door.
When the employees on night service
came, they opened the door and were
surprised to see a man sitting before the
cash box. They Immediately closed and
locked the door and ran for assistance.
A policeman arrived, revolver i'll
hand, believing, like the employees,
that ho had to deal with a dangerous
thief. He called on the figure to sur
render and follow him to the station.
AS it did not obey the summons, the po-
liceman shut the door and went in
search Of re-enforcements to surround
the place and thereby prevent the cul-
prit from escaping.
The door was again opened, the arm
ed force entered, and it was not till they
had 81 ddenly pounced on the poor lay
robLor that they discovered the joke.

"Talking about the humanity Of man

Of a sportive disposition, had more in
genuity than most cats or understood
better how to relieve the tedium of a
domestic existence. This cat caught a
mouse. Being well fed, her sporting in
stinct came into play, and she kept the
mouse to amuse herself with. That is a
feline custom, as you are aware, but
where this cat showed superior mental
ity was in hitting upon a place to hide
the mouse, thus protracting the amuse-
ment. She kept it in IN old shoe in a
storeroom. The man Of the house dis
covered the proceeding, and was almost
as much amused as the cat. Did he put
a stop to it? No, indeed. For several
days he fed both the cat and the mouse,
after which the cat would take the
mouse out for its daily exercise, to the
delight of both conspirators Then the
mans wife found them out. She took
the mouse away and let it go. New
