Finances Considered.

The question of finances was els
cussed, and the concensus of opinion
was that all the money necessary for
the big celebrat ton could be raised
without any difficulty. Governor Wells
directed attention to the fact that ar
tistic placards printed in blue and red
on white, and containing the announce
ment: Contributions to Aid In the Re
ception TO Utah Volunteers Received
Here" are on display in the banks, and
he expected large returns from these
sources. The cards were printed gratis
by the George Q. Cannon & Sons COM
pany However, for the purpose OF
swelling the contributions to the de-
sired sum to meet all requirements, 1t
was decided. on suggestion of Chair
man r. p Morris, thatk a meeting or
the finance committee should be held
this morning az 10 o'clock in the state
Bank of Utah, to devise plan of max
ing a systematic canvass for funds
from merchants, business men, trans
portation companies and all patriotic
citizens, not only in this city, but In
every part of the state.

Plans For the Feast.

When the subject of entertainment
was preached, Mrs. w. w. Ritter,
chairman of this subcommittee, made
many valuable suggestions that met
with the hearty approval of the entire
committee Mrs. Ritter desired that
fiery stimulants be kept from the SOL
der boys until after the ladies were
through feasting them with a cold
collation. in the park. Suggestions were
also made by Mrs. Ritter as to the sub
sisting and lodging of the already re-
turned volunteers living out of town
who have no friends to stop with in
the city during the festivities Mrs
Ritter believed the residents of other
counties would contribute as part of
their mite TO the fund chickens, butter,
fruits and other edibles for the SOL
diers' banquet.
1t was decided that Governor Wells
should make the speech of presentation
of state medals to the volunteers, and
that short patriotic addresses Will be
made by Major r. w. Young and
others of Utah's orators. The chair
man of the committee on speakers will
report more definitely on this feature
of the programme at the next meeting.
Vice Chairman OMeara represented
the committee last evening.
Chairman Whitney of the committee
on music reported that the Mercur
band and doubtless every band in the
state outside of Salt Lake would vol
unteer their services free. but while
he expected the crack bands in this
city to make as generous a proffer of
services, he did not feel at liberty to
request them to play for nothing.

NEW RURAL POSTAL SYSTEM.
Small Outdoor POStoiiice Invention
to BE Given Trial

Small Outdoor PoStomce Invention
to BE Given Trial.
The postoffce department has anoth-
er big improvement for the rural free
delivery system 1t is a small box in
vented by Thomas Crowder, a Virgin
ian. Mr. Crowder is friend of Major
General Lee 1t was through General
Lees interest in him that his invention
was brought to the favorable notice of
the postoffice department The box
which is of metal. is about three feet
high and two feet wide There is a
great door which swings open and re-
veals a number of small COMPARTMENTS
for letters, just such as are to be seen
in the metropolitan postoffice. Each of
these small compartments has a glass
door with Yale lock In each of the
compartments is button to which an
electric wire is to be attached. which
will head directly to the house of the
farmer owning the box To the end of
the wire in the farmers house is at
tached small dial, upon which the let
ter carrier, when he deposits the mail
can Indicate that fact by merely press
ing the button in the box
The idea is to have the box located at
some central point along main trav-
eled road The carrier can deposit in it
all the letters for the farmers in that
vicinity and they can deposit the let
tiers they wish taken up 1t will be
optional with the farmers to have in
their house the electric attachment
which will announce to them the fact
that there are letters for them in the
box. The connection must be estab-
hshed at their own expense.
The battery which will furnish the
electricity to run the enunciators
will be attached to the boxes and
will be kept in good working order bv
the carrier who delivers and collects on
the route. The box is really nothing
less than an outdoor postoffice. It would
have to be located near some public
house where the key to the outside door
could be kept, just as the keys to fire
alarm boxes are kept in the cities.
The postotfice department has decided
to give the box a thorough trial in one
OF the thickly populated Massachusetts
country districts. The test will be made
under the supervision of the inventor,
who will be accompanied by a special
agent of the postoffice department.

charge Of the case of Christ Monberger.
who whistled 100 hours, recently de-
scribed some Of the peculiar medical
features of his late patient.
"When Monberger was brought to
Buffalo, " said DR.. Allan, "there was a
bad fracture in his skull about three
inches above the left ear We trephined
the fracture and removed one square
inch of bone. The operation evidently
did not relieve the pressure on the
brain, and to this fact l attribute the
whistling which Monberger kept up
until death.
1.-The pressure was on what we call
the speaking center of the brain. Mon
berger had been a shepherd at the stock
yards and was in the habit of whistling
to the sheep while driving them from
the cars to the yards. When the skull
pressed on the brain, it naturally forced
it to perform the duty it was most in
the habit Of performing For that rea-

GIANT RATS PROPOSED.
French Plan For insuring the Safety

French Plan For insuring the Safety
OF Transatlantic Passengers.
IN connection with the construction
of new French transatlantic lines to run
between Havre and New York the
French government is being urged to
test practically plan to place two great
well equipped RATS, so constructed that
they cannot be submerged, on each ship.
These RATS would be used as shade
decks, and in the event of a ships sink
ing, as La Bourgogne did, the passen-
gers would have prospect of being
saved.
The French experts who present this
scheme would make the raft to be car,
ried forward 80 feet long, 23 feet wide
externally and 10 feet wide internally.
The after raft would be 100 feet long
and of the same widths as the forward
raft. The two RATS would temporarily
accommodate 1000 persons. -Special
