Especial Correspondence

Especial Cor~respondence.1
Trenton, March S.-The assembly con-
current resolution for sine die adjourn
ment of the legislature has been refer
red by the senate to its judiciary COM
mittee. The resolution fixed on Friday
of this week, and of course II will not be
adopted in that shape. The impression
prevails tina final adjournment will &C.
cur on Thursday. March 80, and unless
some unexpected obstacles intervene
there Is nothing to prevent the carry
ing out of this plan. 1t Is just posi-
BILE, of course. that the date may be de-
ferred for one week, but at all events
The legislators will be ava before April
/. One of the indications of approach
ing dissolution Is the assiduity with
which the joint appropriation commit
tee has been laboring this week to make
up it's schedule OF annual appropria-
lions. Doubtless the most trying prob
lem before the committee Is that con-
corning the disposal of the Railway re-
formatory matter. The committee con-
sidered this question Monday n again
last evening. hearing expert evidence
as to the least possible expense at which
tho institution can be placed on a basis
Of operation. The value of a reforma-
tory In dealing with our criminal popu-
lation Is recognized n admitted, but
the scale upon which the commissioners
set about founding the institution is
above the present standing of the states
resources.
The appropriation committee has also
been rather startled by the large bills
put in by the so called !. y judges of the
SQUIRT OF errors and appeals. These gen.
tlemen took advantage Of the new law
allowing them compensation for the
time they spent writing opinions at
their homes. n the freedom with
which they occupied themselves in this
work rs entirely unprecedented. Sena-
tor w. NJ. johnson OF the appropria-
ton committee this week introduced a
bill amending the law and providing
that these judges shall be paid only for
the time they spend in attendance at
court. They get $40 a day for this.

preparation of breakfast for 1900 en-

served usually before the earliest rising

be breakfasting at such an hour.

alarming rate.

When senate bill 81, which provides
for the payment of wages in money at
least once every two weeks, came up
in the house yesterday, Speaker Wat
kins advocated it at some length. 1t
was unanimously passed. The bill re-

Governor Voorhees, sent the following
nominations to the senate yesterday:
T. w. Trenchard for county judge,
Cumberland county, and ]. Hampton

They were referred.
The senate passed the following bills:
| Amending the provisions of the cleo

ter so provides was defeated in the
senate. This bill was opposed by Mr..
McDermott, who held that it conveyed
dangerous powers. Mr.. Stokes stated
that the bill simply renewed the law as
it existed previously to last winter.
Senator w. NJ. Johnson said the bill was
imperfect.
Odds and Ends.
A petition was sent in this week by
a score of boys and girls from Bergen
county asking the legislature to pass a
law similar to that of Massachusetts
against the use of the bodies or feathers
of SONG birds for ornamenting hats or
bonnets. 1t was referred.
The Democrats of the house again
this week made attempts to get from
committee various equal taxation and
anticorporation measures. and there
was a lot of speechmaking on both sides
of the political fence. The endeavors
failed, however.
The adoption by the house of Assem-
blyman Abbett's resolution indorsing
election of United States senator's by
the people was rather unexpected. 1t is
not likely to get through the senate.
The senate, it is thought. will be a
stumbling block also in the way of the
5 per cent interest bill. which has pass
ed the house. The sentiment in favor
of reducing the legal rate of interest,
however, is growing.
Some New Measures.
Quite a HOOD of bills keeps coming in
every week. Among the more interest

rey, trombone, and w. Williams, bass.
The orchestra at the Grand is also
very popular and a splendid organiza-
ton. 1t has been augmented this seas
on, and is doing excellent work One
frequently hears remarks between acts
at the Grand about the excellence of
the orchestra, and undoubtedly has
been an important factor in making the
little play house so popular The di-
rector is Mr.. Walter c. Coleman, who
has been closely identified with music
in Salt Lake for many years Mr.. ALT
Masterman is first violin; Mr.. Cal Car
rington is at the piano, Mr.. Chris Jes-

pert performer on the xylophone.
Christensens' orchestra is a SPLEEN
did organization and is in great de-
mand for balls and parties during the
winter months. 1t has furnished the
music at Saltair for several summers,
and gives a series of sacred concerts
there on Sundays during the season.
Professor Olson leads an orchestra
which also makes speciality of dance
music.
Salt Lake boasts of several excellent
brass bands. These include Christen-
sens First Regiment band, Held's
band and the knights of Pythias or
ganization.
Among the other prominent organiza-
lions in Salt Lake is the Chaminade
chorus, which is comparatively new,
and has thus far been heard only at
private entertainments. The chorus is

BOOTS AND SHOES
A GROWING INDUSTRY
Salt Lake Manufacturers Pro-
dueed $4,000 Worth.

During the year just passed the boot
and shoe manufacturers of Salt Lake
have enjoyed a period of great pros
perity. All of the factories have been
run full time and had to rustic to keep
any where near even with the orders
that poured in upon them.

SALT LAKE BREWERIES
AND BOTTLING WORKS
Report the Most Prosperous
Year in City's History.

The four breweries of Salt Lake City
have enjoyed the most prosperous sea-
son in 1899 of any in their history. In
all, there is invested in buildings and
brewing plants in Salt Lake the sum
of S765.00 and the volume of business
is second to few manufacturing indus
tries in the state.
During the past year the business
has increased to such an extent as to
render the enlargement of the plants a
matter of necessity. This increase of
business is greater than in any one
year before, even in boom times, re-
ports from all the concerns showing an
increase of from % to 40 per cent on
the business of 1898.
The four breweries give employment
to $50 men, their aggregate wages
amounting during the year to s165, 900.
The beer brewed by the Salt Lake
breweries is of a very high order and
finds a ready market. not only in Utah.

The Euterpe club is. the only one OF
its kind in town. 1t was founded by
Mrs. Fidelia y. Hamilton for the pur-
pose of studying music for its own
sake, and for mutual benefit. Its ca
reer has been most successful and it's
condition today is very fourishing.
Some time ago it was found necessary
to increase the membership limit from
thirty to sixty, and many valuable
members have recently been admitted.
The work of the club is all done in
social way. which makes it doubly
pleasant TO the participants. Miss
Flanders is the president and Mrs Fa-
bian the secretary and treasurer.
The many teachers and soloists we
have in town are constantly striving
TO advance the cause of music and the
list of their names is growing too large
for individual mention. The recent
Corners are Mrs. Knappen, Professor

affairs of the year are the pupils re-

EVENTS OF '99.
The 'Orpheus club concerts stand out
in memory, as very important musical
events, and have been fully covered
elsewhere in this article. Moritz Ros-
enthal was the only famous pianist who
had the temerity to venture on the
frosty platform at the Tabernacle and
met. with the usual chilly reception
The experiment cost his manager a tidy
sum, and it is safe to prophesy that it
will not be repeated.
The Bruno Steindel company, includ-
ing Bruno Steindel, Mrs. Steipdel Min
ME Fish Griffin and Helena Stone, gave
most artistic concert in the Taber-
nacle to a small audience. Clementine
de We're appeared once at the Theatre
and once at the Tabernacle. The latter
part of August, Helen. Sherman Cue,
assisted by Mr.. Cue, gave a most ar
tistic song recital at the Cotgrega-
tional church. The Bostonians played
three nights engagement at the Salt
Lake theatre and drew extremely well,
although the new prima donna, Helen
Bertram was by no means equal to
Alice Nelson. 800
The coming season promises a few
good things in the music line; besides,
Emma Nevada, Paderewski and Dam
rosch, Bishpham and Gadski are booked
to appear here. The best feature of
these anticipations is that the Salt
Lake theatre will be the concert hall

The Orpheus club has a membership

reasons of its success. The club mem

lend their aid to whatever work there
is in hand. 1t is not too much to say
that Director Peabody deserves the

An organization whose fame has
spread outside of Utah is the tabernacle
choir. This wonderful band of singers
is an object of great interest to all who
visit Salt Lake and few leave the city
without having heard it. The member

bers 200. and is almost all made up of
Mormons, although there is no sectar-

church, of whom many are always alb
sent from the city, are included in the
membership, so the regular attendance
varies 1t averages from 800 to 400.
Mr.. Evan Stephens, the director, de-
serves great credit for the success of his
enormous task. But one complete re-
hearsal is held monthly, in. the taber-
nacle, with Professor Daynes, the or
ganist. The sopranos and altos re-
hearse every Monday evening at a large
hall on Richards street, and the tenors
