the Britannia

Special Gable 70 The Call and the New York
Herald. Copyrighted. 1899, by James Cor
don Bennett.
LONDON, July 5.-After all there IS to
be a trial of speed between the Shamrock
and the Britannia. The Daily Mail is au
thoritatively informed that the spin will
take place between the Shamrock and the
Britannia al the end of this week or at
the beginning Of next. The contest will
take place off the Needles.
To give an idea of the new boats spars
it may be stated that the girth Of the
mainmast at the cross trees is upward of
sixty inches, while the spinnaker boom
from the deck reaches above that point
The steel boom and steel gaff have been
shipped. The immense area of mainsail
may be gathered from the fact that the
canvas from which it IS made weighs
nearly twenty-One hundred weight.

DIR. P. S. Keogh, city physician, IS in

much We will probably have the jan re-
fitted. ,
But most of all we need a new Jail.
The one we have is entirely inadequate
and half the time it is much over-cToWd-
ed. There has been great deal OF tax
in the last few years OF erecting new
jail and | am certain that II Will De done
before long. DIR. Daily, my predecessor
as city physician, discussed the SUBJECT
at much length in his last annual report,
and recommended the immediate erection
of a new Jail. taking occasion 10 say tnsat
the present one was In very PAD SANITARY
condition. l did not touch upon the sub
ject in my report because II was SO luily
covered by Dr. Daily.
Until we get d new jail we must worry
along with the one We have. II Is dliii-
cult to keep it clean, of course, Tor IL
is constructed in an old-fashioned way,
with bad ventilation and poor plumbing.
AS the years have passed conditions nave
grown worse in il naturally. The plumb
ing was defective when new and now il
is in very bad condition Then the people
we have in there are the lowest kind, as
a general rule, and they not only Will not
take care of themselves and keep their
own persons clean, but they take pleasure
in letting their surroundings get hlthy:

looked after, and that is our work"
said DR.. Tobey. 1T costs from S100 to
S2OO year TO support each one in the
institutions, and the large number of
unfortunateS are the indirect cause of
a vast drain on the states treasury.
Not only 90 We make the child happy
when we find a home for it, but we
save the state an enormous yearly eX-
pense. Again, the mortality in orphan
asylums is enormous, and this is not
due to lack of milk, but lack of mother.
This is a missionary work, not state
affair, and is permanent and lasting in
its results. One woman in Idaho adopt
ed fourteen children and brought them
all up, along with four of her own, and
wished she had room for a million
more. Another woman adopted male
twins and likes them so we'll that she
is now inquiring for a pair Of girl
babes A child is usually sent out on a
three months trial; as a rule the fam
lily retains it, but in some instances the
child tries the would-be adopters while
they are trying it, and then the trial
ceases, as the foster parents are under
no obligations to retain it."
DR.. Tobey made an earnest appeal to
Utahns to start a similar institution in
this state and thus save hundreds of
the poor, unfortunate victims of cir
cumstances who are drifting about
no fault of their own.

TABERNACLE SERVICES.
Apostle Cowley and Jabez West the
Speakers.

The services at the tabernacle yester-
day were opened by the singing of the
anthem, Though Deepening Trials
Throng Your Way, Press On. Press On,
Ye Saints of God" After invocation by
Joseph Simmons, the choir sang Ros-
sini'S "Infiamatus" with Mrs. Lizzie
Thomas-Edward as sOloist.
Elder Jabez W. West, who has re-
Gently returned from a mission in Eng
land spoke interestingly of his mis-
sionary labors. He said that at the
Manchester conference in '97 there were
tween eighty and ninety converts bap-
tiZed. He pleaded earnestly for a pro-
mitigation of the work in foreign mis-
sions.
Apostle Matthias S. Cowley followed
Elder West. He spoke chiefly of the
divinity OF Joseph Smiths revelations.
and the idea of a personal God. He
said that in enunciating the gospel of
Jesus we imbibe the spirit of Jesus.
Much stress was laid upon the value of
testimony. IF mans character can
be impeached. his testimony is of no
value. Joseph Smiths character was
an unimpeachabie one, so his testimony
is true. Jesus died TO complete the tes-
timony that he was the son of God, and
il is only by death in a cause that a tes-
timony for that cause is rendered per-
feet and complete. Joseph Smith gave
all that man could give, his life, to We
rify his revelations. Flesh and blood
cannot reveal the will of God; it is the
spirit Of the Holy Ghost in flesh and
blood that reveals.
After Apostle COwley's remarks. the
choir sang the anthem, Sweet Is Thy
Mercy, God" The services closed with
benediction by \. V. Jones.

THE DRUMMER'S MEMORANDUM.
1t Caused a Rumpus In the Hotel
Early Next Morning.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.)

The other evening, just before we
changed watch" said the clerk at one
of the hotels, "a fat drummer came up
and began figuring out his expense ac-
count for the day. He took the first
piece of paper he could lay his hands
on and didn't notice. that it was the
blank we used for keeping a memo
randa of morning calls. The blank is
arranged in columns headed by figures
representing hours and half hours, and
he began his penciling in the $3.50 row.
First he jotted down $3.50 for buggy
hire, then Is cents for stamps, 80 cents
for car fare, SLIGO for express package;
S1.10 for kilograms, 80 cents for a.
trunk strap, 5 cents for a paper, and a,

there was trouble, and plenty of it. The
night clerk supposed of course, THAI

terrible time getting the people up, and
everybody was as mad as blaZes, par
ticularly the fat drummer himself, who
happened to be in 10, and swore he
was going right down and lick tho
clerk. About that time the boy with
the beer got TO 40. There was 81
preacher from North Georgia in the
room and he called out to know what
was wanted. I've brought you the
beer you ordered hollers the kid, and
the preacher nearly had a fit. 'Merci-
full heavens,' he said this will ruin
me for life. I Will go down immedi-
ately and see the proprietor
He and the fat drummer struck the
office together. The drummer wanted
gore, but when he saw the call list he
turned pale around the gills and sneak
ed back up stairs. 1t took nearly an
hour to get the minister cooled off, and
when the facts leaked out next day
several people began looking for the
fat drummer with clubs. He lay low,
but he has bought a new memoranda
book on purpose to figure up his cash.

DR.. Tobey Explains Objects of Home
Society.


DR.. Tobey of Portland, Ore, gave an
interesting talk on the object and
workings of the National Children's
Home society, with which he is con-
nected, at the Tiff Methodist Episcopal
church last evening.
The National Children's Home society
was organized in Chicago sixteen years
ago, and is now represented in twenty
four states. 1t is essentially a home
boarding institution, and seeks not TO
antagonize public charitable institu-
tions Of similar purposes, but to assist
them by finding good homes for the in
mates, where they Will be individual
lied and taught by foster mothers and
fathers things which are impossible in
large institutions, where children of
vastly different temperaments are hud-
died together and reared on a sort of
mechanical diet that must suffice for
both mind and body. The charitable
institutions take the poor waits off the
streets, feed, clothe, and give them a
whack at an education; the National
Children's Home society takes the child
from the public institution and finds
for il a good Christian home and gives
il a chance to become a good citizen
and an honor 10 society.
