aged by them. Its objects are to be home
newspaper; to encourage moral and intellectual
improvement among the prisoners; to acQuaint

In dispelling that prejudice which has ever been
the bar sinister to fallen mans self-redemptiOn.

expended in the interests of the prison library.

On the Tonquin station it is very

on while Francois yearned to return to
China. The photographs and informal

time to return to Fort Tcheu, for that

The Democratic enthusiasm, that has
Increased every day as the municipal
fight has grown hotter, reached its eli
max last night in an outpouring of vot-
ers that crowded the Salt Lake theatre
from pit to dome, that crowded the
aisles and monopolized every foot of
standing room even on the stage; that
surged against the doors long after it
became impossible for another person
to squeeze in. The house was crowded
by go o'clock, and by o'clock people
were forced to turn back, unable to
g9in admittance 1t is thought that
more than 900 were shut out in this
way. AMI serious regrets were heard
that an overflow meeting had not been
arranged for
And II was a happy Democratic
crowd. 1t cheered everything. When
Heid's band struck up a medley of pa
triotic airs it cheered each familiar
tune. and when THE Star-epangled
Banner" burst forth the applause was
deafening- The big rampant rooster at
the rear of the stage was cheered; the
well known men and women as they ap-
peared were cheered; some lusty young
Democrat UP in the gallery would
yell What's the matter with Barnes?"
and the crowd would respond with a
cnSer. Inc enthusiasm vas SpOntdne-
GUS and hearty, and continued through
out the meeting to the end.
Some Handsome Decorations.
The decorations were beautiful and
reflect great credit upon the good taste
and patriotism of the ladies in charge.
Flags and bunting wera everywhere
gracefully draped and arranged. On the
stage were two fine portraits of William
j. Bryan and one OF Abraham Lincoln,
draped in flags. Across the full front
of the stage and upon the tables we're
beautiful bouquets, potted plants and
ferns. Around the house were banner
cites with such words as-these. 1.-The
Republican city administration Went
out of office condemned BY its own
party leaders,
