MILLION FOR BUILDINGS.
Splendid Public and Semi-public
Structures Under Way.

The buildings of a public or semi
public character now in course of con-
struction or planned for construction in
the immediate future furnish a good
idea of the breadth and depth of the
movement that is carrying Salt Lake
into the front rank of western cities.
They demonstrate too the cosmopolitan
nature of the city's growth and hold
out splendid inducements to good peo-
pie everywhere TO make Salt Lake
their permanent home.
AT the head of these buildings stands
the federal building to be erected at a
cost of not less than S375,000, and those
familiar with such matters assert that
this amount viii be increased to $780,
600.
Next in Importance comes the state
university The sum of 100000 is to
be expended by the regents on build
ings and improvement of the grounds
as soon now as the work can be done.
1t is we'll known that this expenditure
of 100000 is but the first step toward
building UP n great educational insti-
tuition that may cost millions before it
is completed.
Catholic Buildings.
Then there is the Catholic cathedral
the excavation for whose foundation is
about completed. The size and cost of
this structure will depend wholly upon
the liberality of the wealthy members
of the Catholic church, but from the
start already made II is fair TO assume
that the completed structure will cost
not less than 100000
Closely associated with the above is
the orphanage, the corner stone of
which was laid last Sunday. This
structure, exclusive of grounds. is ex-
pected to cost $4,000. or the great
plans for building mapped out by All
Hallows college by the same denomi-

BUSINESS INCREASING.
The Union Pacific Doing a Heavy
Freight Traffic.
Especial Correspondence.)


Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 1.-Some idea
OF the magnitude of the business now
being handled by the Union Pacific can
be gained from the following figures:
During the month of July, 1894, the
Union Pacific handled $4,000 cars at
this point. During the month of Au-
gust of the same year. 26,0C0 cars Were
handled here. During the month of
July, 1899, $500 cars were handled at
Cheyenne, and during the month just
closed the number will reach $4,000 cars.
During the month of October. which is
always the heavy business month of
the year, it is expected that these fig
ures will be swelled to 10000

on in the Cheyenne yards, making five
engines and crews to do the switching

PROFESSOR NEwELL's VIEWS ON

Gives His Ideas as to What Would Be
Best Method of Accomplishing a
Greatly Desired Result-Audience
Was Disappointed Because He
Could Not Speak Last Night.

-
A small audience gathered in Assem-
bly, hall last evening to listen to lee
ture by Professor Newell, photographer
of the United States geological survey,
but was disappointed because the lights
went out, and before an electrician
could be procured the hour became so
late that it was thought best to post
pone the lecture. Professor Newell
fixed the date as Friday evening, Sept.
Is. when he will speak, taking The
Public Lands" as his theme.
The electric plant at the temple re-
ceiyes 1T power from the Union Light &
Power company. The current is trans
ferred through the tabernacle, and
thence to Assembly hall, and although
the tabernacle was lighted, connection
with Assembly hall was cut off, and the
electrician being absent, nothing could
be done but call another meeting.
Speaking to The Herald on the subject
of irrigation of the public lands in the
western states, last night, Professor
Newell said:

Two Dangerous Trades.

File cutting and glass polishing are
the two trades in which the operatives
are constantly subjected to the slow
and stealthy growth of industrial dis
ease. The danger in their case is even
more alarming than in those which
have been previously dealt with, as
the power which daily menaces them
is that most pernicious and treacherous
evil, lead poisoning. In the case of
file cutters the mischief is contained
in the bed upon which the file is
placed for cutting. This is composed
of metallic lead, for although other
substances have been tried it is de-
clared that none of-them give the de-
sired amount of resistance without re-
silence obtained by lead bed. My
committee has recently reported IN
great detail on the hazardous nature
of the file cutter industry. 1t is suf-
fcient here to state that the risks in
separabIe from his occupation are
greatly augmented by the evil condl-
tions under which the trade is con-
Quoted. Cleanliness, ventilation, san
itary conditions and legitimate hours
of labor with all that is entailed and
understood by these simple sounding
remedies would revolutionize the
health statistics of the file trade, but
the difficulty is to obtain these condi-
tons. The rooted customs Of this IN
dustry are such as in many cases to
battle and defy the administrators of
the law.
Glass polishing is very dangerous
in that the powder with which the
edges of cut glass are treated contains
60 to 70 per cent of oxide of lead.
Here again the same remedies are de-
handed, and fortunately they are not
so difficult Of attainment. In both
these cases the poison pursues its VIC
tins with a malice as relentless as it
is appalling, which kills or mains as
surely as does any explosion or acct
dent by violence.

Mclean Tyler Criticisms.


The New York Sun is not wholly
displeased with the acting of R. D.,
Mclean as evidenced in the following
criticism of his Merchant of Venice:
when Edwin Booth played Shy
lock for us the Jew was of all account
in The Merchant of Venice. The
play was ended with the court scene,
and nobody cared for the completion
of the love story of Bassanio and Por-
tia. Even when Mr.. Booth and Mr..
Barrett got together, and Mr.. Barrett
enacted Bassanio, the Shylock of Mr..
Booth remained dominant. But Por-
tia came to the front when Ellen Ter
ry represented her, even though Hen
ry Irving's Shylock was one Of his ex-
cellent performances. In the recent
revival of the comedy of Days, the
Portia by Ada Rehan was so good,
aud the Shylock SO insignificant, that
the Jew sank into subsidiary villainy.
At tie Herald Square Theatre last
night, however, Shylock resumed his
place of former Importance. This was
not because he was great in the acting,
but because Portia was so small. 1t
is only fair to say, though, that r. D.
Mclean gave a more than merely
respectable Interpretation of the char
acter which Shakespeare is said to
have created in jest, and which a sue
cession of actors turned into serious
ness. In the early passages he sug-
gested Mr.. Booth dangerously, yet
bore the test of comparison surpris-
ingly well. He treated the complex
scenes of his interview with Antonio,
and Of his mixed grief and Joy over
dis daughters flight and his Christian
enemys misfortunes, with technical
skill and popularity appreciate effect.
When he came to the trial, which has
been regarded as easier to succeed
with, he fell off singularly. Here he
seemed to be striving after novelty in
both elocution and pantomime, and,
failing to accomplish anything praise
worthy in the way of departures from
usage, he lost ground correspOndingly
through his endeavors in that direc-
ton. Still, Mr.. McLean's Shylock
was the best impersonation in his three
Shakespearean assumptions at this
theatre. 1t proved him an actor with
a Grst-rate brain, if not with complete
ability to express all his ideas graph
ically."

The Chinese Lost Their Queues.

The incoming mails from Manila
bring many queer stories of events
connected with the war now in pro-
gress between the United States and
insurgents. When McAuthur led the
first onslaught to the north upon the
insurgent stronghold the United States
military commanders were amazed at
the extent of the lOoting practiced by
the non-combatants. The Chinese
took leading part in these stealings,
beginning it before the retreating in
surgent forces were fairly out of the
town. They apparently had no con-
ception Of the enormity Of their Of
tense, and it had been reluctantly con-
Guided to shoot some Of these Chinese
looters for the sake of example when
young officer cut off the queues of a
half dozen Chinese who had been taken
red-handed, and looting stopped and
the Chinese disappeared from the
whole province as if by magic.

This is one of the wonders Of the
age--that Mclean and Hanford should
successfully interpret the classics on
Broadway and that Odette Tyler
should prosperOusly step from farce
and melodrama into the greatest hero
ines of dramatic literature. 1t is no
use, as many Of the newspapers have
done, to attempt the explanation of
this puzzle. The fact remains and is
evident at the box office that Shakes
peare, ousted from Days, has estab-
lished himself with ample financial
prosperity at the Herald Square. The
time may be ripe for it; the audience
may be unfamiliar with classic por-
trayals; there may be some womanly
charm in Miss Tyler and some sonor-
Gus grace in her husband that have
not been perceived by the critics; but
after fIetting over these and other ar
guments it is still apparent that
Shakespeare has drawn larger audi
ences by the aid of Odette Tyler than
were attracted by Ellen Terry Or Ada
Rehan, and that r. D. Mclean is a
bigger man in the Herald Square than
Henry Irving was at Abbey's. This
is inexplicable but, in present circum-
stances, commendable. Ada Rehan
has gone into melodrama, Sir Henry
has taken up with Sardou. Shakes
peare, without friend, found Odette
Tyler, and through her found new ad-
mirers. Therefore hail to the Herald
Square and more power to the elbow
of Odette Tyler l-Hillwy Bell.

Conductors AS Policemen.

1t is not generally known, although
it has been given in the various State
papers recently, that the last Leglsla-
ture passed a bill that made it posi-
bic for the management Of all railroads
operating in West Virginia to protect
the patrons of their lines from lawless
persons who chance to ride on trains.
The bill provides that at the solicit
tation of the officials Of any railroad
in the State, the Governor shall have
the power to name any or all employees
of said road as special police officers,
who shall have power to arrest any Of
Tenders on the trains and hand them
over to county authorities at the near
est stopping place.
All the roads operating in the State
are preparing 70 take advantage OF
this law, and the B. & 0. is to be among
the very first. The conductors on all
passenger trains will be nominated for
such appointments and the men given
full authority to make arrests.
With such provisions made, it will
be most difficult for pickpockets, sneak
thieves and riotious persons to disturb
the passengers on the trains, and il
they do so, the conductors, as special
officers, will have the power to take
such persons into custody and land

Housekeeping Accounts.

The habit Of keeping strict ac-
count of every cent received and spent
is one of the most efectual checks to
unnecessary outlay. If it is to be Of
any service this account must be kept
regularly and precisely. The entries,
however trifing, should be made daily,
and at the end of the week the sum
total on either side should be added
up and balanced, care being taken to
notice whether the cash in hand agrees
with the statement Of account. At
certain fixed dates, such as the end OF
each week or the end OF each month,
the details of payment should be ex-
amined, and each item carried out and
placed under its respective head, such
as meat, bread, milk, etc.
By this means comparison can. be
easily made between the expenses of
one week and those Of another, and
excess or unnecessary expenditure can
be discovered and checked. When the
ready money system is not adopted in
the family, and bills are sent in for
payment, separate book should be
kept, in which an entry can be made
of every article supplied for household
use, and this book should be compared
with the tradesmens accounts when
they are presented for payment, so
that any discrepancy between the two
may be pointed out and rectifed,
