HER BOOK FROM THE KIPLINGSl
a Washington Girls Funny Expert
ence During the Authors Illness.

washington PoSt)
1t is only few weeks ago that q
young woman who lives here in town
brought back with her from New York
a treasure, compared with which the
erstwhile apple of her eye is nothing
but the meTest bargain counter SOU
venir. 1t is a volume of Kiplins's verses,
and how it came to be so precious IN
it's owners Sight-well, this is the story
of it, She was in New York during
Kipling's illness, and by good fortune
happened to be staying in the very
same hotel. There was just one thing
in all the world she wanted, and that
one thing was the Kipling autograph
When it was announced that the great
young man was at last on the road 10
recovery she could refrain no longer,
and she hit upon what seemed to her
an especially ingenious method of OBJ
tanning her end. She waylaid the Kip
lings' maid in the hail just outside their
door one day, and asked her to carry
the book to Mrs. Kipling, with the re-
quest for her autograph 1t was, or
course. Mr. Kipling's signature that
she really pinned for, but she hadn't
courage to ask for that. so she hoped
her very timidity would hint to him
what she wanted. The maid took the
book and the 25-cent piece which the
Washington girl gave with it. and dis
appeared into the Kiplngs rooms. Y
moment later the washington girl
heard issue therefrom perfect gale OF
laughter. in which slightly weak. but
Enthusiastically masculine voice, mingled
with the lighter ripples of feminine
merriment. The listener fled down the
hall, where presently she was disc9v-
cred by the maid, who returned to her
the book.
Mrs. Kipling said she was very glad
to write her name in your book" said
the maid, but she didn't know what
the money was for"
The money!" gasped the Washing
tonian.
Why, yes ma'am." went on the in
genius maid. Il gave il to her. Wasn't
that what you wanted me to dO?'
Later in the day. from the depths Of
her humiliation, the Washington girl
wrote a humble note of explanation TO
Mrs. Kipling, and later still she was in
vited to come in person and meet the
Kiplings, who were smiling yet over
the wholly unexpected honesty Of the
guileless maid-servant. When the
Washington girl examined her book she
found in il not only Mrs. kipling'S
name, but in one corner of the fiyleaf
the coveted signature, ''Rudyard Kip
ling"

Uintah Case.

The board of county commissioners
held a session yesterday and disposed
of the petition asking for the division

ficient to permit of two districts with
out lowering the school standard.

There were firm fast friends of the

had performed as from habit. Gilbert
Mem. Ross, an old-time Nevada friend,
came in from Virginia City for the
services. Judge Miner, Charles S. Va
rian, Alexander Howat and other
friends We're present from Salt Lake,
and the pupils from the State Indus

signs down to simple bouquets and
blossoms. The members of the Ogden

cross and crown; Weber lodge No. 6,

The pastor took as his text the words
He Being Dead, Yet Speaketh, and
spoke with great power on the illus

of James H. Macmillan. The pastor
spoke of his own knowledge and asso-
citation with the rugged, sterling, af-
fectionate, lovable character of the de-

Rev. T. c. Tiff also spoke with much
feeling on the character of the dead

by Commissioners.
ANGRY WORDS PASS.
Landlord Trowbridge Will
Have to Apologize for
Insinuations.

Stern fate seems to have marked
Landlord Trowbridge of the Lincoln
House for her own. The charges pre-
ferred by Principal Abercrombie of
Worcester Academy, 10 the effect that
minor attendants of his school had been
sold liquor at the hotel are still pend
ing, and there is still another phase
which has not been generally known
heretofore.
The commissioners met yesterday
morning, but took no action. They
state, however, that the Lincoln House
license is on the suspended list and win
remain there until the proprietor takes
time to apologize to the secretary of
the commission for remarks INDUCED in
last Friday afternoon, which wera to
say the least, uncompiimentary to Mr..
Early and his associates.
Last Friday Mr.. Early went to Mr..
Trowbridge for the purpose of notify
ing him that charges had been pre-
ferred against him, and to invite him
to a hearing before the commissioners,
in order that both sides of the story
might be heard. The commissioners
say that the invitation which was ex-
tended for Mr.. Trowbridge's good, was
the signal for a TRADE of abuse, in the
course of which the hotel proprietor in
dulged in remarks not altogether
proper The commissioners feel that he
may have been unduly excited at the
time, and after having a chance to cool
off, will realize the mistake aIal take
back the insinuation uttered during a
moment of excitability.
The commissioners met yesterday
morning and granted A. A. Brigham a
common victualler's license of the sec
ond-class, to be exercised in the prem
ises described in his application. The
third formal protest entered by various
branches of the government of Grace
Church was received by the commits
sioners some time after they had voted
to give Mr. Brigham a license.
In granting the license, the commits
sioners are acting on the advice Of the
city solicitor that their action is legal.
Members of the board of trustees of
Grace Church say they don't know
whether further action will be taken or
not. The law gives them a right to APP
peal to the courts in case they feel that
the license may not be legally granted.
The commissioners also voted to
grant a common victuallers license to
James J. Gilrein in Connie" Murphy S
old place at 80 Grafton street and an
innholder's license to Landlord Jacques
of the Hotel Brunswick, to be exercised
in the new barroom.
There are two licenses now pending,
the Worcester Brewery and the Ex-
change Hotel, which are going through
a process of advertisement at the pres
ent time.
