COUNTESS A BUDDHIST NUN.
Csan Francisco Chronicle)


When the Nippon Maru came into
port yesterday she brought among her
first-class passengers the Bhuddist
nun, Sister Sanghamitta, who is none
other than the Countess de Canavarro.
wife of the one time minister from
Portugal to the Hawaiian islands, for
merly the wife OF the late Samuel G.
Bates of this city. She was born in
Texas, but reared in Mexico and Cali
fOrnia.
With some ceremony and widespread
talk the countess entered the sisterhood
in New York in September, 1897, Dhar-
mapala, the Buddhist priest. officiating.
At the time her TheOsOphicaI friends
regretted her course, as they felt that
in Joining any religious order she was
narrowing her views They further
claimed that in leaving her husband
and 13-year-old son she was acting
contrary to the TheOsOphicaI teaching
which holds that no man or woman
should renOUnce early obligations for q
life of ascetiCism.
The countess. who is a brilliant WO-
man of striking appearance, was SOb-
dUTate and renowned the world, taking
first the two-year vows, and last year
she pledged all her life 10 Buddhist
missionary work. About a year ago she
wrote to friends in this country for
money, and it was supposed that she
was not happy and would return home.
On the contrary, she has come to this
country for a year in the interest Of
the Maha B0dhi society, which aims to
give out the true teachings of Buddha.
In speaking of her life Sister Sangha-
militia said:
Il became a nun because wanted TO
give up the material interests Of this
life, and felt sure that I could serve
humanity in no better way than by
working for the betUerment Of cOndi-
tiOns among the women of the Orient
and by translating the philosophy of
Buddha. I shall lecture during my
year in this country, and on my re-

UTAH RAPIDLY COMING TO THE

Reed SmOOt of Provo passed through

after a two weeks visit to New York
and other eastern points. VIII, a tHe
metropolis Mr.. Smoot attended ...-
ing Of financiers interested in the
Pedro. Los Angeles & salt Lake rail-
way, in which company Mr.. Smoot is a
director. 1t was decided that nothing
could be done until the California In
vestment company. which owns the
Los Angeles Terminal. has disincor-
porated.
When this is done articles of incor-
poration for the new road will be filed
and work begun on construction. I
expect to see the road finished within
three years." said Mr.. Smoot. 1T IS
sure to be built now. In common with
others, / might have had doubts about
1t because IL means so much to salt
Lake. but, after the meeting in New
York, which was attended by practical
" everybody who was at the Salt Lake
meeting except T. E Gibbon and j.
Ross Clark, i feel certain that the line
will be pushed 10 completion.
There win be no trouble in finding
plenty of capital. Senator Clark is
deeply interested in the proposition
and viii spare no pains or means to
insure its successful completion and
operation. He has put too much money
into the company now to draw back.
1t has long been one of his ambitions
to run an independent railroad, and he
is going to see his ambition realized.
Utah is coming to the front rapidly
in the east in a financial way, and the
next few years viii be times of Won
deTful prosperity out here. 1 talked
with capitalists who contemplate nut
ting money in here for manufacturing
plants and to develop our coal and iron
Industries. They feel that Utah invest
menUs are perfectly safe as business
propositions, and they will make good
times for u.s.
Mr.. SmoOt found business generally
looking up in the east The Christmas
trade was brisk and the people gener-
ally were buying lavishly. Everybody
seemed happy and prosperous, and all
were predicting more prosperity ahead.
This was one OF the subjects of con-
VersatiOn at a reception given by Sen
atOr Clark at his New York home,
which Mr.. SmOot attended on last
Sunday.
Why, did you attend a reception on

SUGAR FACTORY MACHINERY.
Bids Under Consideration-New
Street Cars.


David Eccles returned yesterday from
his eastern trip. which was made for
the purpose of negotiating machinery
for the Logan sugar factory. and for
the purpose Of securing additional
equipment. in the way of cars and the
like for the ogden Rapid Transit COM
pany. Mr.. Eccles purchased four new
street cars for the street railway, SINH
lar in style to the new ones now in use,
but with two additional pairs of trucks
under each car, as they are for use on
the Washington avenue line He stat
ed TO The Herald that it viii be some
time before they can be used, because
the factories are crowded with orders,
and it may be several months before
the cars arrive.
The machinery for the Logan sugar

Mr.. Eccles says they are considering
bids and negotiating, and the entire
matter viii likely be decided one way
or the other within ten days. Mr.. Ec-
cles is still confident that the factory

AwED BY THE GUARDS.
Suspicious Characters Sink Away
from U. P. Train.
Especial to The Herald)

Especial 10 Inc hSEald-1
Cheyenne, Wye, Dec. 22.-Several
weeks ago the Union Pacific placed
armed guards on its mail and express
trains between this city and Ogden be
cause of the appearance along the road
or several suspicious looking men,
That hOld-uD was feared there is no
DOUBT, for the guards received the most
minute instructions as 10 certain points
on the road at which the threatened
attack would in all probability be made
The guards have been WatChful at all
times, and especially so during the
past few days, as the company had
been advised that a gang of suspicious
looking characters had been seen in the
vicinity OF RaWlins. Since receiving
the warning extra guards have been
pressed into service and everything
made ready to give the robbers u warm
reception.
Nothing occurred, however, to excite
further suspicion until this morning
when No. l02. the eastbOund fast mail,
stopped at Dana station, twenty-five
miles east of Rawlins, to take water.
Under the tank we're grouped several
hard looking characters, a number of
whom were armed. Al sight OF the
guards. however, the strangers backed
away and vanished in the darkness
While the men did nothing that
would lead to the belief that they in
tended to commit robbery, still the Of
flcers think they were there for no
good. At this season Of the year
tramDs do not hold forth under water
tanks. and especially at O'Clock in
the morning
AS the guards are experienced Off
GERS and know how to use a rifle, the
would-be hold-ups will probably be
given a warm reception If they make
an attemDt to rob one Of the treasure
safes between this city and Ogden.

The latter is a grandson of the famous

The discovery of a species Of elephant
much smaller than hitherto known.
which produces no ivory, or. in other
words, has no tusks.
IN addition to these practical results
Mr.. Cherry has cOllated invaluable
written and Photographic data dealing
with the anthropOlOgical aspect of the
natives with whom he came in contact,
especially those that inhabit the terri
tory between the Waday and Nobangui
rivers.
Upon this he has formed the interest
ing theory that all the countless native
tribes of Africa, except, of course. the
Arabs. sprang from common origin
Mr. Cherry's experience with hundreds
of widely scattered tribes convinces
him that there are traces of common
art, customs and religion which point
Enthusiastically To their being of the
same race, despite the physical and lin
guiStic differences which exist at the
present day.
This was Mr.. Cherry's second trip to
Africa. He has proved that without
large equipment, special knowledge,
advertising or the expenditure of much
capital explorations in Africa can be
conducted by simply applying the
methods Of the western states to the
CoIulJOnS existent near the equator
For one year he did not see a white
man, and for over three years not a.
white woman. For four years he slept
in his clothes, a revolver strapped to
him and a rifle by his side. For sim
liar period of time he lived on the diet
OF the country, a native in all respects
except in color and in mind. Yet he is
as healthy. strong and civilized today
as when he left Chicago.

The project is being promoted by
T. w. Bates" said Mr.. Pierce, who
was at the Knutsford, and he has
eastern money behind him. The pros
pect is exceedingly bright right now,
the city having given the rights of way
necessary, a depot site, and sub
SCTibed $685. 900 for bonds. Mr.. Bates
has been working on the proposition
for a long time, and rot until recently
has he received all the encouragement
to be desired. Part of the road has
been graded, and I confidently expect
to see dirt flying in earnest next spring.
I believe that the road viii be pushed

This road would open up an entire
