The servant girl problem has become
distracting by the diminution of sup
ply and the eXorbitant wages demand
ed. Young women who formerly were
engaged in domestic service are now
largely going into shops because of
higher wages, though they do not con-
slider the offset Of longer hours, in
creased expenses, and physical wear
and tear. A partial solution of the
problem in the East is suggested by
the appearance of men chambermaids
and men of all work, who are not only
quite as handy as chambermaids but
do their work even better, quicker,
and more reliably, thus justifying the
famous opinion which Bartle Massey
delivered to Mrs. Poyser as to the rela-
tive ability of man and woman. To
what extent men can be relied upon to
take the places of women in domestic
service is an unknown quantity, but
in the meantime the United British
Women'S Emigration Association has
hit upon plan for supplying COM
petent help in houSework in the colo
MES which seems susceptible of wider
adoption. 1t is the system of "com-
panion helps" A circular has recently
been issued by the association in which
the system is explained. Companion
helps" are educated women who have
fitted themselves to undertake stua-
tons by actual domestic experience
in cooking and housework. In Canada
the demand for intelligence on the
part Of applicants is still more extend
ed. They must have learned cooking,
baking, washing, milking, dairy work,
Bookkeeping, poultry-raising, and cut
ting and making simple dresses. These
conditions, however, apply to those
who are going out to the colonies. But,
on the other hand, these companion
helps" have advantages and privileges
which no domestic servant is allowed
to have. The circular asserts that
companion help" Is engaged where
no servant is kept, and where the mis-
tress undertakes some part of the
work in the same way in which mar
ried woman and her sister might di-
vide the household duties. Com
panion helps" share in the family life,
and many women have been only too
glad to avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to become companions rather
than servants and to have a life with
the family. The salaries are not large,
varying from $120 to S245 year. but
the privileges are such as no servant
can have. Some such system as this
was the vogue In New England half a
century ago, when American girls
went into service and became sharers
in the family life. 1t may be impos-
sible to revive it, because American
girls now look down upon domestic
service and prefer the slavery of the
shops, but it might be adopted to a
certain extent, for there are many
competent women who would rejoice
to have n home of this kind and be-
come identified with a family, even
as helper. There does not seem to
be any sufficient reason why this sys-
TEN should be Cefined to colonies.
Failing this, however, or some other
method of recruiting female servants.
the day of the man servant would
seem to be near at hand. In some
parts of the East he Is already COM
ing to the front.

Young men who go on missions are
not sufficiently informed concerning the
basic principles of their religion, and
the work is often seriously impeded as
a consequence
Heber J. Grant spoke of the early
training of children. He maintained
that in early childhood children should
be taught to pray. Paying tithing, in
his estimation, is much better than
preaching about it. He said that man
without the gospel is selfish and in
many cases inclined to hoard his earn
ings. This tendency, he said, is dis
PEELED by the gospel as taught by the
Latter-day Saints. He said that too
many are inclined to have "a hell of a
time, and referred to the statements
made by Eugene Young, eharacterizing
them as unquaIifiedly false and ridicu-
lous.
President George Q. Cannon followed.
indOrSing the sentiments expressed by
the two preceding speakers. He re
ferred to the different agencies of the
church, giving the function of each
and commencing it to the consideration
of all members Mr.. Cannon stated
that parents are far too lax in disci-
pline, and that as a consequence boys
are permitted to roam at will. and the
evils of smoking and profanity were
the bitter fruits of such a course.
G. w. PenrOSe then gave some sta
tistics of Salt Lake stake for the six
months ending June 80, 1900. There
was some data that the officers of the
stake had been unable to procure, and
the report, therefore, was incomplete.

AT THE MORNING SESSION.
Attendance Was Light-Ray C. Nay
lor an Elder.

The quarterly conference of Salt Lake
convened in the Assembly hall at 10
o'clock yesterday morning, President
Angus NJ. Cannon presiding. The at
tendance was very light, but larger
than on the opening day of the
last stake gathering, when President
Joseph F. Smith paid his respects to
the absentees.
DR.. Karl G. Maeser opened the meet
ing with prayer and announced that
the regular business of the priesthood
meeting, which ordinarily is held later
in the month. would be transacted.
A number of priests were, upon rec
ommendation. sustained for the Ordina-
ton of elders, Ray c. Naylor being
among them.
President Angus NJ. Cannon expressed
his regret that so few of the wards in
the stake were represented, as shown
by the roll CALL and he attributed it to
the fact that the people do not read
the Deseret News. He advised the con-
gregation, especially the bishops, to la
Dor with the people and get them to
subscribe for the church organ. He
told story about a woman who was
too poor to subscribe for the Juvenile
Instructor. She kept the New York
Ledger on file in her house.
Touching on the tithing question.
President Cannon said the people who

Elder James Griggs. who recently re-
turned from Colorado, said of the mis-
sionary work there that the wicked
ness which abOundS in Denver had
been dispelled somewhat through the
efforts of the missionaries. The elders
held four meetings a week for three
months on the street corners and had
many an interesting argument with
professors of religion, in which the
saints were always victorious
Elder Thomas G. Griggs. Superin-
tendent of the state Sunday schools
made an encouraging report of the con-
dition of these institutions, some 900
officers and teachers being employed in

Bishop Spencer of Pleasant Green
said his ward was fifteen miles long

CITY SUED FOR WATER
Mountain SummerReSort Claims
Damages in Parley'S Canyon.
BIG GRIST IN PROBATE
ROBERTS PETITIoN FOR WRIT
OF KABEAs CORPUS.

An action was commenced in the
district court yesterday by the Noun
tain Summer Resort company against
Salt Lake City to re-establish its right
to a certain portion OF the flow of Par
ley's canyon creek and for damages in
the sum of 81 600 for alleged unlawful
interference with the company's water
rights. An Injunction is prayed for TO
command the municipality TO refrain
from diVerting the volume of water
claimed by the plaintiff company and
an order was issued requiring the city
10 deSiSt and to show cause next Sat
irday why the temporary restraining
order should not be made permanent.
The complainF recites that the plain
tin company owns 22S acres Of land
in Parley's canyon and appurtenant
water rights amounting to three cubic
feet per second, which the company
values at S25, 600. The water right, it
is alleged, is good for a continuous

IONS daily for four days out of each
week by diversion from the main
creek through what is known as Har-
dy's ditch. Notwithstanding these con-
dftlons, the complaint charges that the
municipality. through its officers and
agents, unlawfuliy, on Aug 2, de-
stroyed the head gate of the company s
ditch and forcibly took all but a small
portion of the flow claimed by it TO its
damage in the sum claimed.
1t is known that the city will resist
all of the claims of the Mountain Sum
mer Resort company The defense will
show that the plaintiff company is not
entitled TO three cubic st of water
per second. half of the entire flow of
Parley's canyon creek at the low stage
1t has been for the past month or more,
but it will be cOntended that the sum-
mer resort must bear its share of the
creeks shrinkage. The city will also
set up that the plaintiff took ditch
fur of water without regard to the
cfty's rights and that the land and
water commissioner only recovered the
flow of water rightfully belonging to
the city.
The city will also plead that the sum-
mer resort company offered to sell its
land and water rights to the munich
pality for $4,000 and that the reason
the offer WAS declined was that the
price was deemed too high.

BADLY WOUNDED SOLDIER
SEEKS aid FROM The COUNTY

A physical wreck and his mental
faculties impaired from a very evident
conflict with weapons of war. Otto
BiglOW succeeded in crawling on his
clutches to the county commissioners
yesterday morning to seek aid to help
him along to friends in Omaha, where
he expects to find relief from his mis-
cry. The unfortunate man claims to
be the somewhat celebrated individual
who took such an active part in the
organization of Torrey's troops of
rough riders for the war in Cuba He
also claims that he took part in the
hlibustering. expeditions against the
Spaniards in the Cuban campaign, and
while thus engaged received the
wounds which have wrecked his for
mer strong constitution.
That BigIow or Biegler as his name
might be, for he speaks English with
a pronounced German accent, has been
most seriously wounded, and no doubt
by Spanish sharpshooters, was very
evident to the county commissioners.
Never before has SO pitiable a case
been called to their attention. On his
head is a red spot showing plainly the
pulsations of the brain. Otto said tina;
s. piece of the skull had been taken out
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1900-09-02

after a gunShot wound, While he was in
the government hospital at San Fran
cisco, and that there was pressure on
the brain which had caused paralysis
OF his left side and threatened to eX-
tend over his body.
The commissioners had no reason to
doubt the mans word on this point.
ana they were inclined to believe that
he spoke the truth When he declared
that local surgeons had told him an
other operation TO relieve the brain
pressure. using the trephining process,
would undoubtedly give him the relief
he desires and should have.
Biglow is not a stranger here. A few
years back he was employed at the
Sandy smelters, and also by local pho
tographers as a retoucher. He has
been in the city since early last week,
having come from the west.
Pending an investigation into his
case. Commissioner Whitaker gave the
paralyzed cripple a card ~of admission
TO the county infirmary, where he will
be tenderly cared for until it is decided
whether to send him to friends in
Omaha, to the hospital for an opera
ton or secure his admission to a home
for disabled soldiers, If that is possible.
