WHO WAS IBID?
" r1N7 VI &Hf' IT TT 'H ID From the Salt Lake Herald.

From the Salt Lake Herald.
 Walter Wolf, the young bookkeeper for T. R. Jones & Co.,, is said to have one of the best selected private libraries in town, so that when "Trilby' Nicholson and three or four young men friends called upon him in his den recently the talk naturally turned upon books and authors. Naturally because Nicholson is a book fend him self, it was not long before he and Wolf were deep in the world of letters, while the others of the company sung low, fear ing to expose their ignorance. Books and authors, both ancient and modern, of high and low degree of merit, were trotted out and discussed by these two, who fairly fell into each others arms on the subject Finally Wolf inquired:
 MT. Nicholson, have you ever read any of Ibid's work? I run across quotations from him so often in my reading, and his style impresses me very highly; but have never been able to get any of his complete works"
 'Trilby" blushngly admitted that he had read number of Ibid's earlier books and liked them first class for light reading.
 Well MT. Nicholson" broke in Wolf, in faptures, you are the man have been looking for for the past ten years. I've hunted high and low in vain for Ibid's works, now tell me where I can get a con- plete set of them"'
 Nicholson dumped his brow and frowned, and his friends could see from his high color that he was thinking hard. At last he said:
 Well, really Mir. Wolf, since you pin me right down to 1t, I can't recall at this minute who 1bid's American publisher is; but I know that I have two or three of his books knocking around home, and I will look the matter up for you"
 This is why the friends of these two talk so much about Ibid when they catch them out in society together.

Commercial Museums Appropriation

The last congress appropriated $S00,OOO in the way of promoting the national export exposition of the Philadelphia Commercial Museum, and S5O,OOO towards establishing permanent exhibit of foreign samples of raw materials and manufactured goods. The present congress is expected to vote S2O0,0OO more to the latter enterprise. But there is opposition.
 The two great commercial agencies, Duns and Bradstreets, say the Philadel- mercial information in much the same manner that they themselves do, and that congress should not therefore aid the Philadelphia enterprise unless it also aids the two opposition agencies. The basis for the charge that the Philadelphia concern Is conducting private commercial business rests upon the fact that it makes its mem bers pay from s25 to $125 for information gathered in other countries by it's inquiry bureau. This bureau ascertains the stand ing of firms and corporations in other coun- eiiSS, anu AIllS III iilS CuS- tomary way to at least it's members. It has advertised itself as the "best foreign commercial agency"
 There are, however, two sides to the case The Philadelphia Museum says the fees it receives are not turned to individual or corporate account, but that they are used to serve the public by further promoting or building up the countrys export trade. There is nice question involved here and when the subject comes up this week in congress we will doubtless hear more about

HOW LONG

By Christina Rossetti. My life is long-not so the angels say Who watch me waste it, trembling whilst
 they weigh Against eternity my 1avished day. My life is long-Christ's word is different; The heat and burden of the day were
 spent On Him; to me refreshing times are sent. Give me an angels heart, that day nor
 night Rests not from adoration it's delight, Still crying, Holy, holy!' in the height. Give me the heart of saints, who, laid at
 rest In better paradise than Abrahams S breast, In the everlasting Rock have made their
 nest Give me Thy heart Christ, who thirty
 three Slow years of sorrow countedst short for
 me- That where Thou art there Thy beloved
 might be.

marr,aae e Hill Passed second Reading

London, May 2S.-In the house of lords to- day Lord Strathcona moved the second marriage of man and his deceased wife's sister. Earl Salisbury opposed the bill, which, he said would alter the law of in- heritance on real property in Great Britain. The bill passed it's second reading amid cneers by vote of 116 to 13. The minority against the marriage bill includes the Mar qus of Salisbury and the Duke of Abercorn. The majority included the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Connaught, the Duke of York, the Duke of Devonshire and the Marquis of Lansdown.

Virginia's New Position.

At an election called for that purpose Virginia voted to hold a constitutional corYention-voted in favor of a revision of the suffrage clause, for that is what the election turned upon. The vote was light, and the counties more deeply interested in securing the elimination of the unintelli- gent black vote boiled enough affirmative votes to readily carry the proposition.
 Virginia is simply tired of the cheating at the polls, and of the endless demorali-

The Man Who Murmurs.

Only now en do frank appreciatiVe words . F ts,per work come to hand' and when theS do they should not be con- cealed Such words should neither be hid under a bushel. nor carried in the vest pocket This time the appreciation relates to the work of the Murmurer, and 1t comes from the pen of Samuel Ullman, president of the board of education, He says
 Permit me to give you thanks for. the Murmurs' of yesterday. They are so help full, so uplifting; they are such loving words, cheering and comforting, oegotten in the womb of hope. What world or thought in these words, All men love to talk of love, and all women love to hear it talked! Woman may be the initial incident to that ennobling love or humanity which is love 10 God. Need one have a fairer creed? If we think God is everywhere, why not in man-in woman' fairest of all created things? Voicing words profane, in hours stilled in silence, we may roam, leaving fancy license free to chase or chain this fair creation.
 "Sng on, O. Poet! Ring on, O. Prophet! Thy words are writ with the waters of life, light and love, and none but thee may give them utterance."
 Many no doubt have found comfort in the column that the Murmurer fills Sunday after Sunday, but few have put that com fort in black and white; and as MT Ull- man has done so, we venture to lay 1t be- fore the reader as the thoughts that he, or maybe she, felt but did not express.

From the Indianapolis Journal.
 An English health officer recently traced cases of typhoid fever, diphtheria and simi- lar ailments to water crosses raised near London on a farm irrigated by a stream which, upon analysis, showed the presence of liquid sewage, and thus calls attention to the danger of eating water cress, let tuce and similar ''salads'' which may be contaminated by irrigation. No matter how cleanly these green foods may seem, they should be thoroughly washed, piece by piece, in plenty of water, the best way be- ing to hold each piece under the cold water faucet with the water turned on to it's full pressure,

From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 Style is born in woman and born on a man.
 A woman without any religion is just as impossible a thing as baby without any safety pins.
 Looking on the bright side after he is thirty to the average man means hoping he won't have any more babies.
 When a girl jilts one man and marries another both men ought to consider them selves lucky. One gets the girl he wants, and the other finds out she wasn't the girl he wanted.
 A woman never opens a letter with strange handwriting on it till she has looked at the postmark and had three guesses with herself who on earth could have written her from there.

spent days in the woods with railsplitters, in order to see the big trees fall.
 The shadow on the sun had greatly in- creased, and the man resumed his watch of the heavens. Sublime splendor of the moon-globe concealing the sun-globe, sur passingly sublimel The moon, seen for the first time in its globular form, looked ashen gray and the onlooker was almost pur- suaded that he saw it rolling in the inn measureable vastness of up-yonder Weird it seemed that shadow against the sun, and the light upon the earth seemed as II charged with dust of dull copper There was a chill in the air, and a southeriy breeze stirred the leaves of the trees gently as if touched by little bird beginning to fly. The light faded as the moon rolled, and shifted it's apparent position until but a little crescent of white light was left visible of the sun. The effect of the eclipse, the cirrus clouds, the opal sky, the copper dusted air and earth, was transcendently and overwhelmingly inspiring The man was bare-headed, bare-souled, exultant, eX- ated Even the rude black woodmen re- spected his silence and his peace. He knelt and plucked two of the white flowers to WedT dS u DduBe HlBnI De worn.
 The old-oak was about to fall, the wood- men informed the man. He seated himself near them, and heard the tree give forth sound as the cracked voice of an old man dying. Suddenly it swayed far over, seemed to recover for an instant, and then crashed downward it's far length along the ground.
 The man gave the woodmen of his to- baceo, and filling his own pipe watched the shadow pass from the sun and the light on earth brighten. O magic, o miracle of the 1 eclipse!
 Good-morrow was said, and he left the summit to find the road down the mountain side, a way of joy to him not to be forgot. l Half way from the summit party of maid 1 ems with two collegians attendant and a happy-faced mother as guardian came rush ing down through the leafy wood, flushed of face and joyous of heart. He smiled at l their happiness, and in his heart he called the maidens Marys. Yet they, too, were l l. Inconnue!

GOOD r1mEs FOR SENATOR'S

From the New York Press.
 Five thousand dollars a year is not the whole income of United States senator not by a long shot. There are countless little items thrown in by mutual consent which makes the statesmans life jot and little of perennial satisfaction. The mar ble senatorial bath Is worth $250 a year. Nearly every senator travels a railroad pass, yet the government pays him mile- age at the rate of 20 cents a mile for mak- ing the necessary journey to and from the capital. In the case of the far western senator this sum amounts to s1,2O0. Mile age is a fossil arrangement, introduced long before railroad passes were known; when, in fact, a trip to Washington in- volved many weeks and a heavy expense. It is manifestly unfair that MT. Perkins of California should receive an honorarium of $l20O, while MT. Mccomas of Maryland gets only $35.

Americas Buyers Were in The Mar

Ii any man in Americas figured on a

ton as prophet is moth-eaten and
valueless. So far from declining the
marked exhibited great strength from
the opening and ere the close of the
session October had jumped forty-two
points from Saturdays closing quota

vance in contracts strengthened the
demand for spots and Americas buy
ers were after the feecy at great rate.
Whereas, good middlings sold Satur-
day at 10 cents, this grade easily
brought an eighth better Yesterday,
while middlings commanded ten cents
and large sales were made at these fig
