A dramatic writer Of San Francisco
tells the following amusing story Of
PATHS last visit TO the Pacific coast.
He was at the station with many others
to meet the great diva when che az.
rived.
''Tho diva stepped from the train"
said the San Franciscan, 'and after
inhaling lung full Of fog remarked:

This was all very sweet in the high
priced canary bird. and the newspaper
boys were nll delighted.
However, Il was only q short time
before I went down TO the train 70 meet
Patti at Salt Lake City. She was de-
scending from her car, and as her feet
touched the ground she exclaimed;
Thank heaven, breathe the air Of
Salt Lake City once morel All my trou-
bles are paid for. Oh. this is heavenr'
The newspaper boys were all delighted
with her.
''As for myself, on both Of these oc-
casions was delighted also--with the
diva's lovely hypocrisy, that nccursed
sin which the poet tells us takes the
best men in. never thought Patti
much Of an actress, but changed my
mind in this respect after witnessing
these two exhibitions.
Nothing in the way Of 'Iovely by.

NOW CHOPPING WOOD.
Commissioners Have Temporarily
Ceased Giving Away Franchises.

The County Commissioners were out Of
the city all day Wednesday. but they were
at the courthouse yesterday afternoon and
declined to say where they spent the day
before. They would neither deny nor affirm
the report that they put in the day in the
gas belt inspecting Charles L. Henry's in
Terurban lines. To all those who asked Mr.
McGregor where he had been the reply was
"Chopplng wood" II is said however. that
the commissioners did spend the greater
part of Wednesday visiting" with Mr.
Henry, and that they learned one or two
things about electric lines. The commits
eioners were informed that some of the
lines in the gas belt had been built and put
IN operation in three months. The board
was somewhat surprised at this. The mem
bers had been led TO believe that it required
about two years to get an electric line well
started.
Yesterday another petition for franchise
was filed with the board The petition was
signed by Henry w. Bennett, William p
HerOd and Francis Il. HOrd. The petition
ers ask for a right of way over the Pendle-
ton pike. upon such terms as will be agree
able to the board" Mr.. Hord said ii was
the intention to build a line TO Anderson
and that the enterprise would be backed by
Indianapolis capital. He said that he and
Mr. Herod and Mr.. Bennett represented
other people" Charles l. Henry is also
asking for a right of way over the Pendle-
ton pike.
