PATTI AND THE POSTAL CLERK.
How She Convinced a Doubtful Off
cial of Her Identity.
New York Herald.)

Here is an amusing and characteristic
story about Adelina Patti. After her mar
riage she went from her Welsh home,
Craig-y-nos. to Cannes, and before leav-
in, she gave instructions that all her mail
was 10 be forwarded to the cannes post
office. When she arrived at Cannes she
went to the postoffice and asked the Off
Gals if there were any letters for the
Baroness Adelina de Cederstrom-Patti
Lots of them was the reply In fact,
they're coming in by every mail"
Then give them TO me, she said ca
serly, being naturally very anxious TO
receive news from home.
Have you any old letters by which
can identify you?" asked the official.
No" answered Nine. Patti, Il have
nothing but my visiting card. Here it is"
the cold reply Any one can get visiting
cards of other people. If you want your
mail you will have to give me better
proof of your identity than that"
Nine. Patti, however, was not to be baf-
You surely have seen Adelina PATHS
photograph, she urged, We'll, look at
me. Don't you see that L am the same
person."
Even this argument did not convince
the official, and a moment later he alb
ruptly turned away. after throwing the
coveted pile of letters into d drawer.
A brilliant idea then struck Nine. Patti.
1t was quite early-only o,clock-and
there was no one in the postoftlce except
golden opportunity it was, and the great
artist availed herself of it. She began to
sing A touching song she chose, the one
beginning, "A voice loving and tender,
and never did she put more heart into the
melody.
And marvellous was the change as the
brilliant music broke through the intense
silence. In a few minutes the quiet post
office was filled with people. and hardly
had the singer concluded the first few
lines of the ballad when the old clerk
came forward and said, trembling With
excitement: It's Patti. Patti There's
no one but Adelina Patti who could sing
like that"
We'll. are you satisfied now?'' asked
the madame of the official who had eX-
pressed doubts as TO her identity, and
the crowd.
The only reply which he made was to
go to the drawer and hand her the pile

a moments hesitation, although terri
oly injured internally, he promptly
grabbed a pile and held on. When an
other passenger on the car was about
to sink, the injured man grabbed him
with his free arm and held him until a
rope could be let down and both of
them hauled up.
AS quickly as possible the train was
stopped, and the train crew, assisted
by employees of the Washington Iron
works, made heroic efforts TO get the
frightened passengers out of the water.
With ropes and boards every one was
quickly taken out Some were clinging
to piles, some were struggling and
swimming about, and others were
crawling up the piles and timbers.
Everything was in the direst confusion
The wrecked electric car lay on Its side
almost at right angles with the rails,
while the passenger train was some
fifty feet distant from where the cleo
trio car lay. The locomotive headlight
was broken and the cow-catcher badly
deranged. while the whole front end
was covered with broken glass and deb j.
ris from the electric car.

The graves of our dead soldiers COM
mand the respect and generation of all.
Particularly this year, when there are
at Arlington a large number of new
made mounds; when on the hillsides
of Cuba and Porto Rico, and about the
swamps of the Philippines, other
American soldiers are buried, we
should think of and decorate the
graves OF our heroic dead. This GUS
tom comes to us from the ancient and
refined Athenians. They were accus-
toned TO celebrate the virtues and
commemorate the memory of the he
role dead by decorating their graves
each year. For us to do the same thing

is commendable. This year. of all years,
should be observed with patriotic de-
votion. During the last twelve months

Shaggers has special fondness for

enemy. The bark was repeated, but no
dog was in sight, and the puzzled eX-
preston of Shaggers' face was indie
scribably funny.
About this time Shaggers discovered
that a trick was being played on him,
and he showed his good sense in this,
that, satisfied the solution was beyond
his comprehension, he relegated it 10
the realm of the unknowabie, and
troubled his head no more about it.
From that time on no barking of I'M

noises shouted through the phone

him. He just sat and never even batted
his eye at any further noises. 1t was
somewhat strange, however, in view OF
subsequent experiments on other mon
keys, that Shaggers never once seemed
to associate the ear phones or the wire
with his troubles.

New Plan of Campaign Appears At

PETITIONS FROM UTAH
APPEAL TO POLITICAL AND RE-
LIGIoUS PREJUDICE.
Three Sets of Petitions Circulated,
But Few Signatures Are Secured
Movement Evidently Originated
In the East-One of the Petitions
Addressed to Mckinley.

Springville, May 29.-Evidences of a
systematic and well-organized attempt
to unseat Congressman-elect b. ii.
Roberts have at last cropped out in
Springville The movement here is
apparent in the circulation of three
petitions. two of them directed TO con-
gress and the other to President Nc
Kinley. One asks congress to cause
the expulsion of Mr.. Roberts on the
grounds that he is a polygamist. The
other prays that congress will cause to
be submitted to the people of the
United States a constitutional amend
ment, aimed at polygamists, bigamists,
etc. The one to President Mckinley is
of the same tenor as the last.
Miss Lillian Blair. one of the two
teachers in the Baptist mission school
here, is conducting the search for sig
natures. The petitions are receiving
scattering signatures in some quarters.
but are not regarded very seriously
here. The movement evidently ema-
mates from certain quarters in the east,
and will no doubt crop out in this state
wherever religious or political preju-
dice exists

AS near as can be learned the Oregon
Short Line time table which will go
into effect on June l, will give to the
citizens of Cache valley the same old
ferk-water service that the people Of
Me north thought had been forever
done away with. The Cache valley
train is again to be pulled off and the
people up there will be at the mercy
of the through trains. and if the peo-
pie don't like it they can pack their
grips and walk over TO Corinne.
The train on which Cache valley pas
sengers will be permitted to ride will
leave here at 9:45 a. M, being the
through Butte train which passes
through Cache Junction at 12:55 p. m,
provided it is not detained at Ogden
TO make connections with through
trains. Coming down the Cache valley
business Will also he handled on the
through Butte train, arriving in Salt
Lake at $50 p. m Cache people de-
clare this is a great injustice to val
ley which gives the company as much
patronage as does Cache, and that it
will result in a torrent of Indignation
from the residents of that valley.
One of the most prominent business
men of Logan who is now in Salt Lake
said yesterday that If the company in
sists on rubbing it in to the people
up there in this way that they will
rise up en- masse and CALI halt. He
said that mass meetings would be
held in every town to protest against
such an abominable service and that
other methods of transportation would
be encouraged.
Another Logan merchant said: "Evi-
IDENTIFY the Oregon Short Line thinks
we are not worthy of any considera-
ton Yet the business done on that
Cache valley branch is as good if not
better than any piece of road on the
system"
Another prominent Loganite declared
himself in favor of an immediate boy
cott if the company does not treat the
people with a little consideration.
When seen about the matter yester-
day the passenger department of the
Oregon Short Line was in entire ignor-
ance of the details of the proposed
change and the operating department
apparently does not think it any of the
public's business what it is doing or
proposes to do.
