A Big Price Tor q Ride.

In The Century there is an article on
1.-THE River Trip to the Klondike" by
John Sidney Webb. The author says of
his trip to the mines:
And here let me make n confessional

imagine what a sensation this created
along the creek. No one had ever in
dulged in such extravaganza before.
Though man should wash out $50, 900
in day, he would be content to walk.
But rode at 80 cents per pound to FL
Dorado and 30 cents to return, or lsG
pounds for SLIGO. They did not, how
ever, put me On the scales like o sack

his goods packed over by Indians. "An

UNCLE SANS MENAGERIE.
Animals Kept st the Dcpartnept OF Ar.
riculturc For Experimental PurposSs.

Animals Kept et the Departments Of A..
riculturc For Experiments, Purposes.
1t is not generally known that the de-
pa-tment Of agriculture has n menaserie
in connection with it, but such is tho
case. The menagerie is not q very largo
one, Tor docs it contain any rare or
strange animals. Nest Of them are Of
the domestic variety.
1t is part Ct the division of animal
industry, and the animals are used to
develop interesting cases of disease and
to illustrate the effects of an endemic
of particular kind which the division
may wish to experiment On with view
of stamping it out and to test various
kinds of foods of which trial is thought
to be efficacious.
Comprised in this collection of ami
mails are rats and mice, guinea pigs,
rabbits, different sorts Of fowls, some
| cattle and sheep and few others. The
larger OF the animals are kept ut the
breeding place of the department, on
the Benning road, while others are DOM
iciled in the basement Of the division
Of animal industry laboratory, near the
bureau of engraving and printing.
Down i'll the basement, under the lab
oratory. which was visited recently by
reporter, were seen a number of coops
and cages, in which were grouped gum
ca pigs, rabbits and chickens. The
animals seemed 70 be perfectly at home
and formed seemingly happy family,
as some guinea pigs were III the cage
with rabbits. One Of the little white
and black creatures was nibbling at the
whiskers Of q sleepy looking rabbit,
which blinked coltentedly, rs if it en-.
joyed the operation or was too lazy 10
resist any trespass on the part of the
guinea pig.
A dilapidated looking chicken. which
had much the same appearance &c has a
tramp who has been forced to saw wood
for q meal at friendly inn, 4" rested
ON top Of cage. The guinea pigs SEEM
ed to be the life OF the place aud ran in
and out with apparently little or 10
concern whether school kept or not. {"
On some OF the cages whe-c the rlb-
bits were confined, printed in Largo
black letters, was the word rabies. ~
Upon the cards also were the warnings
to the attendants and others not to put
their hands in the cages. This meant
that the animals had been inoculated
with hydrophobia virus, and it was
therefore dangerous to handle the ami
mails. A further precaution taken in
such cases, it is said, is rot to inoculate
animals carniyorous by nature, as they
become terribly ferocious, or any ami
mails whose chief means of defense is By
biting.
A cat or dog, for instance, will strive
to bite when afflicted with the disease.
while rabbit, which is purely n vege.
tartan, will simply NOPE and die with
out making any resistance.
1t was stated that one steer, which
had the "blackleg," remained at one
of tho experiment stations for about
eight years, and the persons there really
became attached to Washington
Star.

Der. You will, know, kindly overlook
the presumption implied in this self
promotion, and receive in brotherly
spirit my congratulations on the open
ing of new year of usefulness, and on
your first programme of the season,
which is in itself an earnest of the
high nature of your aims and of the
serious character of your labors.
When the history of music in the
United States is finally written, this
im9ortant fact will have to be recog-
niZed, that its progress and establish
ment as a factor of civilization We're
chiefly due to the combined efforts of
gifted and devoted amateurs. whose
golden lips preached the gospel of art,
while sturdy hands were struggling for
mastery over fields rocks and waters
Truly typical of the extraordinary re-
suits accomplished by amateur musical
societies, is the spectacle which the
Euterpe club will give to the world on
the oath of September, the spectacle of
an American inland city, far remote
from the great centers of art, bringing
with the authority of cultivated intel
ligence and technical ability, its COM
manding voice to the philosophical dis
cussion and artistic Illustration of that
gigantic genius, whose personality and
theories, lie and work have dazzled
from the first, but puzzled, so far the
Judgment and admiration of mankind.
1 heartily wish. sir, that your first
meeting. and all those that are to fol-
low. will be decided successes. [ wish
it for the sake of the Euteroe clubs
good name. for the DerDetuity of it's
organization, success being the best
spur to continued endeavors. 1 wish it
for the sake of the community which
shares in your honors and is to benefit
by your sustained efforts; for the sake
of art that needs you and counts upon
you. Banded together with the mod
estly declared object of mutual i'm
provement within their own ranks, the
EuterDe club cannot help being con-
scious Of the educational influence
which their worl. must exercise out
side. They are not only students, but
missionaries. They can no more shut
their eyes 10 this fact than shirk the
RESPONSIBILITIES which it imposes upon
them.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-09-25

AS individuals, some of the soldiers
of the EuterDe club might falter on
the march. AS a well-eauiDDed army,
it is their plain duty to go on with the
holy fight Our heroic young men are
returning to us-wbat is left of them
after having dared hardships. fever and
death itself, that the nation might live
and be great. In all noble enterprises,
patience, endurance, perseverance are
cardinal virtues without which bothing
can be gained. What / would impress
on the mind of each and every member
of the Euterpe club is that first of all,
the club must last; that it has become,
by the force of things and by the ma
ture of its composition, a power for
good. to the maintenance of which all
should work with earnest enthusiasm
and, if needs be, at the cost of personal
sacrifices. 7 am aware that there is
such a thing as the lassitude of doing
good, such a thing as the worry of
benefcence. I am aware that the
strongest spirits are sometimes discour-
aged by disappointment, injustice, in
appreciation and ingratitude. But all
these drawbacks should be expected in
life. and be met with the fortitude
born of a high purpose. That the
Euter9e club will have a smooth and
even course, / fervently hope. But
with my knowledge of what it is called
to accomplish, L pray that it may have
the strength to prosecute its work I'M
der all circumstances, and grow to be
a glorious and permanent institution.
Accept for yourself, sir, and convey
to the Euter.oe club my very best re-
CARDS and wishes, with the assurance
of my deep respect and sincere graft
tude. l remain, yours very truly,
CLEMENT TETEDOUX.
The new local dramatic company
which presents The Cotton King" at
the Salt Lake theatre Wednesday and
Thursday, Oct. and s, will be known
as the New Empire Stock company. The
play selected for the initial performance
is Sutton Vane's melodrama, THE Cot
ton King" play of absorbing interest
and filled with dramatic situations. One
scene represents the Ashton cotton
mills and shows the operatives at work.
In this scene the villain attempts to
murder the heroine by putting her I'M
der the elevator
This is only one of a series of start
ling and dramatic situations. The full
roster of the company is as follows:
Messrs. Cummings, Blair, Swenson,
Rogers, Sloan, Young. Ritter and Nc
Cam, and Misses Boyer, Calder, Nell
Blair and Blanche Thomas.
The play has been carefully rehears-
ed, new scenery and effects prepared.

The second week of the season has
passed, and the roseate hues which the
opening one caused to play about the
horizon of theatrical hopes have as
sumed tinge distinctly less rosy. The
Henderson engagement was, III fact a
frost of so biting a kind that any bud
of promise must have been nipped the
instant it showed its head. While one
cannot avoid a certain sympathy for
Mr.. Henderson, recalling the days when
his extravaganza companies, with Ed
die Foy at their head, made a sort of
triumphal progress across the CONT
nent-stiIl, that sympathy would be
much livelier- were it not that Mr.. Hen
derson is old enough to have known
better. a manager of his experience
must have known that people in Salt
Lake keep well enough posted on cur
rent thea trical events to be aware that
his company was one of the second
grade, organized to play in the cheaper
theatres, and that it played TO reduced
prices in Denver only the week before
II appeared here. he should also have
been well enough acquainted with
western taste and diScernment to know
mat the audiences in Salt Lake and
Denver (where the frosts descended as
keenly as they did here, who might
be attracted TO the theatre by the once
potent name Of Henderson would mot
tolerate the grade of players he had
selected. 1t is urged by Mr. Hender-
son friends that he was the victim of
unforeseen circumstances; that he re-
lied on Sarah Truax to remain his
leading lady, and that he expected
Harry Mainhall to join him as leading
man. This only partially excuses him
Even with those two capable players
he could have met with no success in
this field playing a repertoire like
Held by the Enemy" Young Mrs.
Winthrop and claire" and the
'Forgemaster, plays which were
placed upon the superanuated list years
ago, and which have been done so well
in the past that the sharpest kind of
comparison and contrasts must have
been inimitable. The thought of Henry
Miller or Mr.. Wells Colonel Prescott
alongside that of Mr. Willard, is
enough to induce night sweats.
When Mr.. Henderson discovered that
he had TO make his western tour with
out his two leading people, he should
have promptly Cancelled his dates.
saved a big railroad bill, and flied his
time in such art centers as Kokorno or

enough to believe that the name of

many pleasant digs at the local mill
tary, its gay costumes, pretty music
and catchy specialties; and as it comes
now for one night only, Thursday, it
will doubtless draw big house. Miss
Mary Marble is the principal lady of
the company.
Regarding the forthcoming produce
ton of 1.-The Queens Lace Handker-
chief by the local opera company, Di-
rector Weihe says: In attempting
Strauss great work we have left the
beaten paths of comic opera and gone
into field much nearer the legitimate.
There is as much difference between
work like said .Pasha" and THE
Queens Lace Handkerchief as there
is between the works of Mr. Hoyt and
those of Bronson Howard. Those who
love Strauss music-and who that ever
heard the "Rlue Danube Waltzes" does
not?-will ind in THE Queens Lace
Handkerchief something entirely to
their tastes. The music, while essen
TALLY tuneful, is much more difficult
than anything we have attempted, and
our chorus, which has always been
our strong feature, has been specially
selected this time, with a view to the
requirements of Strauss work.
At the recital OF the Euteroe club
last evening, the IOIIONlIS cndTdCleTIS-
