HOTEL GOSSIP.

Miss Isabel Ogin of Baltimore, who is
at the Kenyon hotel having come here
on her way home from San Jose. Cal,
said yesterday that there was quite q
sentiment against Congressman Roberts
In that state. due to the campaign of the
San Francisco Examiner. The people of
California who read the Examiner ma
turally see but one side of the case. with
fierce denunciation of the Utah congress-
man. So few of the facts OF the case
have been published that there Is no dis
tinction in the contest between Mr.. Rob-
erts and the Mormon church. The cam
paign has been waged. she said, much
against the church as against Mr.. Rob
erts individually.
Rev. L. T. Williams. who is at the Gull
len hotel. from Tacoma. said last night
that the progress made amongst the Jap
anese In religious matters was quite re-
markable.
II believe that it is within the truth to
say that more than half the japanese on
theA Pacific coast have become earnest
and ardent Christians said he. Some
of them were converted before they left
nome but the majority nave Joined the
Christian church here Most of those who
do not profess some form Of Christianity
are disreputable and they probably never
cared anything for their own religion.
The Methodist church alone has min
isters in eight different cities, l believe.
These are native preachers who have
charge of their congregations and seem
10 handle them with success. Some OF
them are seif-supporting. so large and
sincere have the congregations grown.
Much more headway is snade among
Japanese than among Chinese. 1t seems
to me that some of the energy spent in
attempting TO Christianize Chinese in
China might be given TO the work in San
Francisco: where there are probably $1,000
pagan Celestials.''
William e Leech of Cripple Creek who
is at the Kenyon hotel has an invention
which. though very simple in appear
ance, may become of some Importance in
mining in the west.
He has what is known as the fulmin-
ating mining cap protector. which is to
be used in damp mines to keep water
from contact with the cap when blasts are
being prepared His invention is a SIM
pie little rubber tissue TO cover the con-
nection between the fuse and the cap
when these are surrounded by water At
the present time when miners drill in
damp ground they cover this connection
with soap or axle grease. which keeps
out the water in most cases. But the
process of putting on this protection is
slow and tedious and to certain extent
uncertain.
Mr.. Leech claims that his rubber tissue
Will make the connection between the
cap and the fuse absolutely water-tight.
while it is true that there is smallpox
In Sanpete county. there is no need that
should have a panic of fear said r. l..
Andrews of Sanpete county at the Cuiles
last night.
THE disease is well in hand and I am
confident from what physicians have told
me that it will soon be stamped out I
would not advise people TO attempt TO go
TO 10 those places where there are cases
They had better keep away. But there is
no need of fright. The disease is not half
so dangerous nor does il spread so quick
ly as some persons think. In fact. ii is
not so dangerous as many other diseases.
i have always supposed that the hOr-
ror arose from the marks which are left
upon the faces and bodies of many per-
sons who recover from the disease. They
lead many persons to think smallpox the
most dangerous of plaques"
