Partridge's Almanac.

A pleasant story is told of Partridge, The
one-time celebrated English almanac max.
err. Travelling in the country, he stopped
at an inn for dinner, and afterward pre-
pared to resume his journey. The hostler
advised him to stay where he was. as II
would certainly rain. Nonsense" said
Partridge, and proceeded on his way.
He had not gone far, however. when.
sure enough, a heavy shower of rain de-
seconded. Struck by the mans prediction.
Partridge rode back and was received by
the hostler with a grin. The almanac
maker offered him half crown on condi-
ton that he told how he knew it was 60
ing to rain. "Well, the truth is, sir, that
we have an almanac here, called Part
ridges almanac, and the fellow is such a
notorious liar that whenever he promises
a fine day we always know it win be The
opposite. Now, to-day. your honor, is set
down as fine day in the almanac"

The Quarantine Question.
From the Nashville American Dem. }


One argument in favor of national con-
troll is the superior financial ability of the
federal government, and this alone should
determine the question. No Southern state
is able of itself TO incur the expense of
proper quarantine regulations and for this
reason more than any other state quaran-
tines are always weak and ineffective.
However, the present quarantine status
needs to be greatly amended and such a
law as that suggested by the Mobile con-
vention would work a vast Improvement.
The very mild weather that
has prevailed this winter gives
apprehension that the fever
may appear again on the Gulf coast with
the coming Of warm weather II it does
prompt measures should be taken from the
start 10 prevent its spread and to this end
Congress should not delay in passing a
proper measure.

New York has apparently awakened to
the fact that river and harbor improve
ments are good thing. Heretofore the
New York newspapers have been in the
habit of calling the river and harbor APP
preparation bills gigantic jobs, and refer
ring to the appropriations as "slices of
pork which the members of Congress
scramble over. In the future, if the signs
of the times indicate anything, New York
will try to secure the biggest slice of pork
in the barrel. That city sees her com
merce slipping away and going to other
ports, and she has concluded that possi-
bly, some improvements in the harbor
might aid her in the struggle to hold her
own.

1t seems that divorce suit is to be
written into the rather pitiable closing
chapters of the life of Gen. Cassius NJ.
Clay of Kentucky. He believes that his
little peasant girl wife has been drugg-
ed by his enemies and is crazy, and upon
that ground he will ask that their mar
riage be annulled. 1t is sometimes to be
regretted that there is no way TO restrain
persons who are in their second childhood
from doing very foolish things. Gen.
Clay's marriage with the little peasant
girl" was ridiculous.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY is, 1898

a Denver genius has perfected an appa-
ratus which he thinks win spring into
favor at once. 1t is a spanking chair,
and is designed 10 be employed in the in
dustrial schools for girls at Denver. The
apparatus consists Of a seatless chair
on which the girl TO be spanked is placed
The chair is high enough from the ground
to permit of the play of four paddles,
which are operated by electricity. When
the victim has been placed in position
and her wrists strapped TO the chair, the
executioner touches button and the pad
dies do the rest. Il is said that there is
a spanking chair Of somewhat similar
design in use at the girls Industrial school
of Kansas at Beloit. In that apparatus,
however, electricity is not employed. The
Denver genius, therefore, is so much ahead
of the inventor of the Kansas instrument
of torture.

Gratifying evidences of the fraternal
feeling between religious bodies
and followers of the several

into evidence since the Cathedral
fire. Following the disaster a Protestant
Church proffered to the Cathedral congre-
cation the use of its house of worship
and in the list Of subscribers to the fund

appear the names of Protestants and Jews
sandwiched with those of Catholics. This
broad and kindly spirit is one of the most
gratifying signs of the times.

Mr.. Anthony Hope Hawkins, upon his
return to England expresses the opinion
that Americans are "conceited interview
ers," and otherwise disappointing. He
seems to have been impressed somewhat
as Nansen was; that the United States
are not what they had been cracked up
to be. Year after year we pay foreigners
big sums of money to come over here and
let US admire them while they discover
that We are Doors and afterwards talk
about it,. But. we never mind a little thing
like that, and straight way look around
for some other foreigner to come over
and be admired by us at the price of our
plebeian dollars

One of the strong pictures in Kipling' S

scription of the annual memorial service
of The Gloucester fisherman, which Is
held after the conclusion of the season
for cruising on the banks, and at which
the names Of the fishermen who have been
lost at sea are read out. The memorial
service for the season recently ended was
held at Gloucester last Sunday, and the
record showed that ninety-six fishermen
had persisted at sea during the year.

COURT AT VERNAL.
Civil Case of Whipple VS.. Preece On
Trial.

Vernal. April "a jury having been
secured last night in the case of Whip
pie VS.. Preece and others, the case
went to trial this morning and was not
concluded when court adjourned. This
case is a sequel to the case of Johnson
VS.. Chadwick which was tried here
last fall, and in which the plaintiff,
Johnson, obtained judgment for a con-
siderable sum against the defendant,
Mrs. Asenath Chadwick.
To satisfy this judgment a portion of
the Chadwick ranch, together with
over a hundred head of horses and
mules, and farm implements, wagons,
etc, were seized by the sheriff and
sold.
In the present case Edward Whipple
the plaintiff, sets forth that the sale
of the horses was illegal, in that he
was the sole owner of them, and the
liability of Mrs. Chadwick being a per-
sonal and not a partnership affair. his
portion of the property was sold with
out any warrant in law. In view of
the above alleged facts, the plaintiff,
Whipple, now asks damages in the sum
of $4,000.
The case is quite a complicated one
and may occupy considerable time.
The balance of the criminal cases on
the calendar have been continued until
the next term, which occurs in July

DARLINGTON PLEADS GUILTY

Will Serve His Sentence In the Cache
County Jail-End of Long
Drawn Out Case

Logan, April 12r-The long drawn out
case of the state of Utah against DR.. ].
B. Darlington has at last come TO an
end. About three and half years ago
Darlington caused the death of a wo-
man by performing upon her a GRIM
inal operation. producing a miscarriage.
The operation was performed at Brig
ham City, and the woman was brought
to Salt Lake, where she died.
Darlington was charged with murder,
but before he could be arrested he fled,
but few days later was arrested on
a train bound for Denver, was tried and
convicted of performing the operation,
and sentenced to seven years imprison-
ment in the state prison. On appeal to
the state supreme court the verdict and
sentence was set aside on the grounds
OF various errors at the trial. Pending
his appeal he was allowed his liberty
on bonds, but just before the opinion
of the supreme court was handed down
he again fed, and. after some work.
was captured in Denver and the sure
ties on his bond surrendered him, and
since then he has spent the time in the
state prison. couple of weeks ago he
was taken up to Logan for retrial.
His health was very much broken
down, and it is said he was losing his
reason also, and tfat confinement OF
long duration would certainly result in
death. Taking this into consideration
and the fact that the greater part of
the past three years he spent in jail,
the prosecution agreed to accept from
him a plea of guilty of involuntary
homicide, and when brought into court
today before Judge Hart at Logan he
entered the plea as stated. and was
sentenced to one years imprisonment
in the Cache county Jail

UNcoMPAHGRE LANDS.
Settlers Willing to Give the Indians
a Chance.

Vernal, April 9.-The recent order is
sued from the interior department, in
Structing the Salt Lake land office to
receive no filings on land on the I'm
compahgre reservation, has put a
quietus on the movement of home
seekers in the direction of White river.
The party that was to have left here
has postponed the matter until there
are other developments.
The impression seems to prevail that
the order to the land office is a move
to hamper the white settlers and give
the Indians an opportunity to get their
allotments. Contrary to what would
naturally be expected, this is looked
upon by a great many as only an act
of justice to the red men, as it has
been pretty generally understood that
they were to be allotted their lands
first.
The present condition of affairs is
laid at the door of the allotment COM
mission, who, it is considered, have had
ample time to complete their work be-
fore the day of the opening
There never has been, nor is there
now, any disposition on the part of the
majority of the people of this section
to deal unjustly with the Indians, but
policy that has resulted in bringing
such confusion and misunderstanding
is condemned by all. That there is no
earthly reason whatever why the In
dams should not have all been located
by this time on both reservations, and
the balance opened for settlement, is
the general opinion here
