Since the Minister presented his credentials to
the President on April 16 he has begun syste-
matte study of municipal and National govern
ment in the United States, visiting the Capitol.
State Department and Postoffice several times
a week and closely observing the customs and
methods of Americans. He is an ardent ad-
mrer of the Congressional Library, taking
particular interest in the architecture and stone
work. well as in the paintings and the sys
TEN of delivering books. The Minister hopes
to arrange to visit the shipyards at Newport
News, the public school institutions in the
East and various manufacturing establishments
with view carrying back with him ideas
to promote the commercial interests of his
country.
An Illustration of his readiness in adapting
American customs is his final consent to have
a photograph taken. 1t took considerable per
suasion on the part of his secretary. Mr.. LOTUS
for the Minister said it not dgnfed nor
modest to have ones photograph published in
his own country, and that it directly
against his principles. But upon being told that
it was the usual custom here and that a Min
lister important parsonage whose photo
graph ought to be published he allowed himself
TO become Americanized in this respect and
was photographed five times by a local pho
tographer.

birth and education, and he is held in the same
opinion by his colleagues at the National CAPT

Provo, June 23.-Sheriff Storrs re-
turned from P. V. Junction today, hav-
ing in custody a tramp whom he ar
rested as a vagrant at that place. The
fellow was found in company with an
other tramp who was sent up from the
courts here about a year ago for
larceny. The man arrested by StOTrs
gives the name of Ed Welsh. A search
of his person disclosed the following
valuables: Six gold watches, thirty
two rings; $731 in currency, gold and
silver; two deposit checks, one on the
Traders National bank of Spokane for
$500 and the other on the Exchange
National Of Spokane for $500. Both are
dated Oct. 81, 1898, in favor of one
Ed Joyce. When asked why the de-
posits were made to Joyce, Welsh SIM
ply said his mothers maiden name was
Joyce and that the checks had been
drawn IN that name for that reason.
A telegram was sent to the Spokane
banks, but no word has yet been re-
ceived from them.
Welsh claims to have obtained his
means by peddling jewelry throughout
the country. He will be kept in jail
until Monday, when he viii be ar
raigned on a charge of vagrancy.
Sheriff Storrs thinks he has a shrewd
crook, and expects that some clue Will

OIL AND GOLD MINES.
visitor Speak of the Food used.

Major DesbOrOugh, writing from
Fresno, Calf, says: II found Grape
Nuts food 40 miles in the mountains in
an old oil camp, where the whole
crowd, ten men, eat it for breakfast
every day and every Sunday have it in
a pudding for dinner"
General E. c. Machen, an old Confed-
crate soldier, has just returned from
an extended trip through the South
west and along the Mexican border, in
vestigating mining properties. He says:
mo matter where I Travelled, I always
found it possible to get Grape-Nuts
and Postum Food Coffee, of which
am very fond"
The Grape-Nuts breakfast food
especially valued by campers ..
frontier people, as il is already coo.
and ready for instant service, and
ing concentrated, furnishes unus0
strength and nourishment in a small
quantity. 1t is believed that man
can travel farther and exercise more
continuously, on a few teaspoons of
Grape-Nuts than on like quantity of
any other food known.
The reason for this is that there are
selected elements in Grape Nuts that
furnish direct to the brain and nerve
centers, the necessary particles to re-
build the delicate gray matter con-
tanned in these parts; therefore a man
continuously fed on Grape-N Nuts is alb
soluteiy certain Of a good condition of
the nervous system. which is really the
controller Of the entire body.

.PICKPOCKET CAUGHT At WORK
BOLD THIEF NABBED BY SHEETS
AND JANNEY.
Was in the Act Of Pilfering Valu-
ables From a Woman's Pocket
Good Catch.

The bold pickpocket who for some
time past has been practicing his art
upon unsuspeeting women on the
streets and in a number of the stores
Of the city was caught by Detective
Sheets and Sergeant Janney on the
corner of Main and South Temple
streets while in the act Of picking a
pocket. The woman, whose name was
not learned, was standing on the cor
ner waiting for someone, when the fell
low came up to her and, after making
some excuse for addressing her, began
to talk to her. While he was talking
he edged as close to her as he could
and ran his rand through his coat
pocket, which was fixed for the pur-
pose, and slipped it into the wOman's
pocket. The act was so cunningly per-
form. ed that the woman herself did not
know what was happening until the
officers grabbed the man.
At police headquarters he gave his
name as Edward Nugent and claimed
to be from Butte. A search failed to
reveal anything on him except a few
personal effects. An examination of
his coat, however, revealed a unique
arrangement of the pockets, which al
lowed him to apparently keep his
sacking the pockets of his victim. Each
pocket was provided with a neat slit,
which reached through to the bottom
of the coat, allowing him to run his
hands through and out under the bot
tom.
Nugent has been observed by the
clerks in a number of stores lately,
who say that he would come in the
store ostensibly to look at the goods,
but that they had noticed him cycling
women who had their purses, and that
they had missed articles after he left.
He has been detected by several wOm-
en- in the attempt to put his hands in
their pockets, but was cunning enough
to escape before he could be caught.
A description of the man, who had
been seen in the stores, was furnished
Detective Sheets and Sergeant Janney
yesterday morning and they started
out to locate him. Nugent, who an
s,vers the description, was soon 10
Gated in the Z. c. NJ I. and was shad-
| owed until caught in the act of theft
from the woman on Main and West
Temple The police think Nugent is
a bad character, and it is likely that
his picture viii be taken to add to
their art gallery.
