Sociable.

Some of the sentimental considera-
lions that may influence an elector are
suggested in this anecdote from a new
book, Irish Life and Character:
A political candidate, on paying q
second visit to the house of a doubtful
voter of the peasant class was ve-y
pleased, but somewhat surprised en-
hearing from the elector that he would
support him.
Glad to hear it, said the candidate.
Il thought you were against me-
Sure. 1 was at first" rejoined the
peasant. ''Whin the other day ye
called me here and stood by the pigsty
and talked for half an hour, We didn' {,
bulge me an inch.
But after you had gone away. sOr.

Lawson Gets a Medal.

Chairman Nelden of the Salt Palace
committee is delighted with the success
of the racing men on the Palace track.
and says that the track has exceeded
even the most sanguine expectations of
she builders. The fact that such re-
markedly fast track is located in this
city. and an adjunct of the Salt Pal
ace, is a big advertisement for the
Palace throughout the east
The Salt Palace committee has de-
cided to present John Lawson, the
Terrible Swede.' with a handsome
gold medal as a token of its aDprecia-
ton of his record mile in Isl 3-5 made
Thursday night. AS a rule, cash is
much preferred to medals by profess
sional racing men. but in this case the
medal which Lawson will receive will
be valred by him far more than any
purse which he has won in many a day
Lawson will have the name of the

CHECKS MUST BIZ STAMPED.
Orders Issued to Banks By the In
ternal Revenue Department.

Washington, July Reconnaissance
Wilson of the internal revenue depart
ment has issued a circular absolutely
prohibiting banks from affixing stamps
TO checks unstamped when presented,
and requiring them to return the same
to the drawers. In his circular to col
lectors, the commissioner says:
You are directed TO notify the banks
that are guilty of stamping unstamped
checks that if the practice is not i'm
mediately discontinued, they will be re-
ported to the United States district at
torney for prosecution"
The previous instructions to the eff
feet that there was no objection to the
affixing by the bank of the requisite
stamps tc an unstamped check pre-
scented for payment is revoked. AS the
law is now generally understood. it is
held that there is no further need OF
such permission.
This action was taken upon informa-
ton that certain banks had adopted
the practice of not requiring stamps.
as an advertisement to secure patron
age o. against rival banks.

THE FEDERAL BUILDING TITLE
INTERESTING QUESTION CON-
CORNING THE SITE.
Alleged That Mrs. Thurston Could
Not Convey the Tract-Mr. Whit
temore Considers the Matter.

4 report has been current for several
days that United States Attorney Whit
temore had struck some sort of a flaw
in the title TO the federal building Site
When questioned yesterday, Mr.. Whit
temore admitted that a question had
been raised as 10 a portion OF the site,
but he had reached no decision.
\ portion of the site fronting on
Market and Main streets was left to
Mrs. Lucy J. Thurston, now Mrs. Kin
ney. by her late husband. 1t is said
that the property was left to her in
trust; that she had only life interest
in it. The question has come up
whether she could convey title to this
tract.
Mr. Whittemore denied last night
that he questioned the title; he main
tanned that he was considering the
matter, and had not yet reached a con-
clusion.
An abstract of title to the property
is now being prepared by the county
recorder. and until ii is finished there
will be basis for legal disputes.

The Salt Palace will open with mag
after Aug. 10. That was decided last
night at a meeting of the board of di-
rectors, held at the offices in the Atlas
block last night.
The one thing that the opening is de-
pendent upon is the completion of the
Palace, but it was stated last night
that Architect Kletting was certain
that the building could be finished
in time to have the opening few
days after Aug. 10. 1t may not be
until the 21st that everything VIII be
in first-clasS order. Amusement d.
rector Talbot said at the meeting that
he could have his attractions here by
this time The spectacular reproduc-
ton of the battle of Santiago and Ha-
genback's wild animal show, with the
many minor entertainments, such as
the various villages and side shows,
will be ready for public inspection. The
Midway will blaze in all its varied col
ors and assorted characters; in fact,
the Midway is going to be a great at
traction of the exposition.
During the time between now and
the date of opening, it is possible that
entertainments will be given in addf-
ton 10 the bicycle racing. This plan
has not been decided upon, but is now
under consideration. Some of the MEM
bers proposed that theatrical attrac-
lions might be given within the bicycle
track. However. the plan is not looked
on favorably by all the directors.
An important matter which was dis
cussed was that of finances. The di-
rectors need more money. if they are
to carry out all their plans. and make
the exhibition one of credit to the city.
President Nelden said last night that
nearly $4,000 was due on stock sub
scriptions which it was urged should
be paid in at once. OF this amount
s. 900 is subscribed for by Samuel New
house, which is. however, conditional.
Then there is a proposition to sell
$4,000 more of stock, completing the
disposal of the capital stock.
IF the people of Salt Lake desire to
see the Salt Palace successful, they
should come up with their payments
and subscriptions said Mr.. Nelden.
There We're two concessions let last
night-one for the soda water. ice
cream and fruit privilege, to Fred T.
Wilson and Fred c. Lindberg for $3.50,
and another for the sale of optical in
struments to an Omaha man for $50.
There were few propositions for the
bar concession. but they were so in
definite that no settlement was reached.
They were referred to r. X. Thomas
for further investigation.

known as the Wyoming Southern, now
engaged in building a line from Fort
Steele to Saratoga, in Wyoming. says:
This new road has purchased $4,000
railroad ties, which Were seized from j.
G. Teller of Denver last spring. as the
latter had cut them from government
land. The railroad company paid cash
for them at the rate of 80 cents per tie.
the transaction amounting to $4,000.
This deal dispels all doubts which may
have prevailed heretofore regarding
the building of the Wyoming Southern.
The work of grading the line will be
commenced at once, and the steel will
be laid as soon as the grade is COM
pleted. 1t is safe TO say the road will
be in operation not later than Oct. II

WILL TREAT ALL ALIKE.
Government Will Play No Favorites
With Americans In China.

New York, July IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: While
President Mckinley will take all neces-
sary steps for the protection of Ameri-
cans and their interests in China, there
IS no likelihood that he will join with
Great Britain in coercing the Pekin
government to give extraordinary con-
cessions to American and British citi-
gems.
A high official said regarding the mis-
sion of W II. Parsons to Washington.
that the administration had no inten-
tion of combining with Great Britain
or any other government in the inter-
est of its citizens. Naturally. the presi-
dent stood ready, he said. to afford all
reasonable and lawful protection to
Americans in foreign countries and Mr..
Parsons would undoubtedly receive this
assurance.
1t has been the policy of the admin
istration not to advocate any special
American industry to the Chinese gov
eminent. Instructions sent to the
American ministry in Pekin some time
ago said:
enterprises in China, and the efforts
made in behalf of the Chinese foreign
office. you should be cautious in giving
what might be understood as this gov
ernment's endorsement of the financial
standing of the persons seeking con-
tracts with that of China. Briefly
speaking, you should employ all proper
methods for the extension of American
commercial interests in China while re-
framing from advocating the projects
of any one firm to the exclusion of
others
1t is therefore unlikely that the rail-
road syndicate in which Mr.. Parsons
is interested will receive any more
consideration or protection than any
other American enterprise in the celes-
tial empire.

WILL THE CARS BE LIGHTED
Agitation to Have the Lights Turned
On In Resort Trains.

There has been considerable agita-
ton in the past, especially by the
ladies, to persuade the managers of
the different railroads running to the
resorts to light up the cars coming in
late at night. Commenting on the mat
ter yesterday a prominent citizen said
that it would not be a bad idea for the
Saltair management 10 put a few more
electric lights on the platform along
side of the trains. At is is now at
Saltair, when there is long train, the
end cars are away off in the dark and
passengers cannot see whether the
seats are occupied or not. This gentle
man said that this addition would be
greatly appreciated by the public. In
connection with this it might be stated
that it would be a great convenience
to bathers if clock were placed some
where in sight so that they could know
what time it was without getting out
of the water.

KENNEDY ELECTED.
Friend of President Hill Director of
Northern Pacific

New York. July 14.-John S. Kennedy.
who is a director and large owned in
the Great Northern Railroad company
as well as in numerous other financial
institutions and enterprises, was IN
animously elected a director OF the
Northern Pacific company at a meeting
of the board held on Wednesday. He
takes the place vacated by the death of
John G.. Moore, who in the latter years
OF his life, was intimately associated
with James J. Hill, the president of
the Great Northern, in his railway
operations. The succession of Mr..
Kennedy to Mr. Moores place on the
board is thus to be regarded merely as
continuing the Hill representation in
the Northern Pacific directory. Friends
of both these transcontinental proper
ties said today that the election of Mr..
Kennedy possesses no such sweeping
significance as that attributed to il in
a sensational report published today.
