proved, expanded and kept step With
the active spirit Of the times, but the
innocent fun. the ripping smile and the
hearty laugh are still the universal con-

So true is this that now, whenever the
advent of familiar minstrel company
is heralded, the mere anticipation of
the laughing treat in store creates a
feeling of universal satisfaction. 1t is
claimed that minstrelsy is the most
dignified form of amusement. and above

The week has been devoted to the
university commencement exercises in
the opera house, class reunions. alumni
banquets, and fraternity luncheons,
breakfasts and high teas. The streets
are full Of mothers and fathers. per-
sonally conducted by their sons in blue
cloth upon whom the mother looks with
the same pride and tenderness that some
painters Of the Madonna have caught.
A sight more beautiful than all the
colUrs OF spring and more fragrant than
the flowers are these radiant self-for-
getful, plainly dressed little mothers
who have come from the farms and
small towns Of Nebraska to see their
sons and daughters receive the diploma
for four years. work, diploma which
represents self sacrifice and devotion on
the part of mothers and fathers as we'll
as study and self denial on the part Of
the sons and daughters.
The class play which was the first Of
the conventional numbers Of the uni
versity week. was presented at tho
Oliver on Tuesday morning. Instead Of
the customary burleeque, sparkling with
brightly polished gems Of local satire
and wit the class chose 10 present Col.
ombe's Birthday by Robert Browning,
1t was the first play by Mr.. Browning
ever presented here and it was easy to
see even in performance by amateurs
why the poets dramas are dramatically
impossible. Not particle Of action in
Colombe's Birthday from the first to the
last. All defamation and literary dia-
logue. Never a CONVEX sational episode
that might have occurred, only the re.
Elections which a writer sitting at q
library table puts into the mouth Of his
puppets. Still there are those who
teach Browning as the four sacred
books OF the Veda, are taught the
Hindus. Nevertheless the defamation
and dialogue was we'll done and dis.
covered careful and cultured training.
Miss Mary I. Wallace was graceful
Colombo. Miss Ellen Gere was charm
ing lady in waiting. John H. Boose,
naughty and scheming courtier, was
well conceived ard presented. Allan r.
Congdon as Valence, the incorruptible
and patriotic lover, had moments OF
inspiration which yielded only to the
jeers of the Juniors in the audience.
Claude S.Wilson succeeded in appearing
TO forget the audience and merged his
personality in that OF the secretary to
the Prince Berthold-Jesse s. Smoyer.
Other Courtiers were: Messrs. Rain,
Snuff, Weaver. Griffith, Thompson, Har-
man, HClett, Hills and Lands. The
Court ladies were: Misses Haskell,
Cleveland Weeks and Prentiss. The
Court scenes were very pretty and gay.
Taking into consideration the fact
that the cast was not responsible for
Browring's ignorance Of the purpose OF
dramatic action and also that they were
tempted to select a Browning play not
because he could write play but be-
cause OF tho exalted place he holds in
the literary hierarchy at the university,
the performance was very creditable.
To Mrs. Mannings faithful and efficient
coaching the fine effects OF the whole
were due.
The series was concluded by com.

BIG SAOHSTORM FOR OCTOBER
FALL OF FOUR INCHES IN SALT
LAKE.
Did Considerable Damage to Trees
In the Residence District-May
Have injured Crops.

A snowfall of four inches in the mid
die Of October is an unusual thing for
Salt Lake, yet that is what the read
ings at the local weather bureau
showed yesterday. The rain which has
continued through the week changed to
snow at about 4 o'clock yesterday
morning, and for about two hours the
weather was very suggestive of win
ter. At Intervals during the day the
snowfall was renewed, so that by .
O'Clock yesterday afternoon four inches
had fallen.
On the pavements in the business dis
tricts ofNthe city the snow melted al
most as soon as it fell. Out in the resi-
dence portions, however, a little dam
age was done to the trees which line
the sidewalks, but it was not of a very
serious nature. The green leaves of
summer are still on the trees. and the
snow chung to those leaves with all its
four inches of weight. Branches of
quite large size were broken off and
Uttered the sidewalks all over the city.
Poplar trees, which have held their
leaves the longest, were the worst
sufferers. In several places the side
walks were blocked by the bent and
fallen boughs, so that pedestrians were
obliged to wend their way out into the
muddy streets.
Just what damage was done to the
late crops is not known. The farmers
who have second crops of wheat in I'M
irrigated land had greeted with reioic-
ing the rainstorm of last week. 1t IS
feared. however, that the snowstorm
of yesterday will undo the Dement'S
accruing from the rain, and that some
of the cropS will be ruined.
