Hall Programme.
MRS. SNOW PRESIDED
INTERESTING REMARKS MADE
By OLD TIMERS.

The third day Of the Scandinavian
Jubilee opened yesterday morning with
meeting under the auspices of the
ladies at the Assembly hall. A great
many well known men and women Of
the church were seated upon the stand,
which had been beautifully decorated,
while the crowd was as large as at any
previous meeting.
Mrs. Minnie J. Snow, wife OF Presi-
dent Snow, presided over the gathering,
and at the beginning of the services
conveyed TO those present the regrets
Of the president that he was unable to
attend.
Mrs. Anna Beckstrom Snow, wife of
Erdstus Snow, the hOnOred apostle was
then presented. She was the first wOm-
an baptized in Denmark, and in her
native tongue the lady related some Of
the interesting experiences Of the Nor

concluding she expressed her great joy
at being privileged to witness the cele-
bration in honor of her husband, whom
she spoke of as a man Of God.
Mrs. Widtsoe Speaks.
Mrs. Anna Wfdtsoe made a few re-
marks IN Norwegian, and this was fol-
-
te1sen's poem, written for the occasion,
bv Annie Stevenson Of Ephraim. Other
pleasing features were solos by Mrs.
Agnes Olsen Thomas and EnOch JOr-
gensen, the latter of Manti.
Mrs. COrnelia Parker, who was one
of the children to enter Salt Lake with
a handcart company, spoke for a time
on the principles of her creed. Mrs
Augusta Larsen Oblad spoke along
similar lines.
Mrs. Julia BriXen's remarks were of
special importance to the youth. She
urged young men and women to do
right anC TO try and bring their par
ents here from Scandinavia
Apostle LUnd then spoke a few
words, cOngratulating the Scandina-
Wan people on the success of the ju-
bilee, and the women upon the great
work they have performed in the up
building of the church.
Andrew Jensen introduced Mrs. Au-
gusta Dorius Stevens, who was one of
the first Danish emigrants to come to
Utah. and Mrs. Augusta Hanson,
widow OF p. O. Hanson, who was with
Apostle Snow in Scandinavia.
President Angus NJ. Cannon ad-
dressed the congregation briefly, eX-
pressing himself as being highly
pleased at the privilege of doing so. He
also congratulated the people and re-
ferred tOuchingly to the many init
mate acquaintance he had among
them who have passed from this world.
Mrs Minnie J. Snow then delivered
the closing address. She thanked all
wko had participated in the jubilee and
made it a grand success. She referred
TO President Shows regard for the
Scandinavian people, with whom he
was intimately associated in and
around Brigham City. Elder Sjodahi
promo unced the benediction.

the Southern Pacific shall have come
in on time. There a lunch will be
served, and Grand Exalted Ruler Allen
will likely make one of his entertaining
speeches.
The reception will be in the nature
of an outdoor social. No programme
Of speeches has been arranged, but 1t
is expected that the visit of the head
of the order will be very pleasant MT.
Allen will go east over the Rio Grande,
and he will stop at many cities on his
way, wherever there are a few Elks
gathered together to welcome him. de
will leave on the evening train.
Judge Allen, who lives in Birming-
ham, Ala, is lawyer of note. He was
elected grand exalted ruler last July
at the grand lodge at St. Louis.
The Elks now have a membership Of
over $4,000. Last year there was an
increase of seventy-two lodges and
II 900 members. This year there has
been an increase of eighty-three lodges
and 10000 members. California and
Kentucky, with five lodges each for the
year, showed the largest increase in
membership.

EXCURSION TO LOGAN.
Thousands Went Out to Enjoy the
Festivities.

FESTIVITIES
The excursion to Lagoon yesterday
afternoon was wonderfully large, when
it is considered that only the day be-
fore the Scandinavians went to Saltair
in great numbers. But they were both
given d place in the jubilee programme,
and. therefore, both were bound TO be
successful No less than $500 people
were at the resort during the day. They
were a happy lot, too. The committee
had sliced up over 1000 lOaves of bread
and made somewhere about 10000 sand
witches of every variety, from tongue
to venison, and all these were distrib-
uted to the throng free of charge, this
Icing, perhaps, the first case on record
where so many people have been led at
an outing o. this kind. 1t was a happy
f .ture, and one greatly appreciated.
Some of the people who are approach
ing the eightieth year of their lives got
out on the floor and danced the ma
tionai ,.ances OF Sweden, Norway and
Denmark, and they enjoyed it as much
as the crowd of OnlOOkers.
A handsomely decorated Maypole was
erected on the greenSWard below the
hOwery, and there were hundreds Of
young and old who joined in the dance
around the pole.
At S o'clock a pantOmime was present.
ed on the granusLanQ stage TINS part OF
the entertainment being in charge Of
p. JOhansen and G. V. Anderson
The Swedish choir "Svea" and the
Danish-NOrwegia choir "HaTmOnien'
also appeared on the stage and render

naviau tongues. Hugo Peterson was
IN charge Of the "Svea" choir, and the
"HarmOnien" was conducted by o. Nell

j. II. Sjodahl, one of the general COM
mittee, last evening expressed appre-
citation on behalf of the Scandinavians
who have gathered in the city from all
over Utah of the manner in which The
Herald has treated the jubilee and the
excellent accounts that have appeared
of the meetings and the excursions. He
says the gathering has been a thor
Oughly successful aud enjoyable one.

THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN.
Gates of the Salt Palace Thrown Open
to Them.

It was a merry throng of lads and
iassies that attended Children's day at
the Salt Palace yesterday The turn
stiles showed that 5000 passed in the
gates. and that doesn't count those
that came via the fence tons. This
mode o. entrance was the result Of
habit, rather than necessity for the ad-
mission charge at the gates was sus-
pended during the day.
Two splendid matinees were given in
the theatre by the stock company, to
two packed houses. Lots of fun was
the order of the programme, and more
merry laughs echoed in the portals of
the building than at any time since
the opening day.
Two thousand passengers rode the
miniature railroad, and the merry-go-
round was awful tired at nightfall.

WATER RUNS TO WASTE.
Eight Inch Main Springs a Leak on
First South.

Water by the thousands Of gallons was
running to waste at a lively rate for about
an hour last night, from 1875 o'clock, out
on First South street. between Twelfths
and Thirteenth East, where the eight
inch water main sprung q big leak. after
the emergency crew Of the waterworks
department reached the scene It did not,.
take long to suit off the mighty water-'
spout. and stop the damage 10 the streaG
and the sewer trench.
Immediately the men went 10 work 70
repair the break. but it viii require til
this afternoon to make good the displaced
Joints of pipe. In the meantime the houses
on the north side of the street viii be
without water, unless they depend upS2
their neighbors across the street.
The cause Of the break Is attributed 10
the excavation for the sewer pipe along
side Of the water main. The sewer trench
is deeper than wher the water pipe runs
and It is thought that the small space OF
ground intervening permitted the Watei
pipe TO push itself out of line, until abouS
l25 feet of IL had become dis5Ointed.
The entire sewer trench was filled to
overlooking with water and large quanti-
ties OF ground caved in, causing a consid-
cradle loss TO the contractor, Arnold a

Take Denver,s Increase.

Denver, according to the Chicago
Tribune estimate, has increased in pop
ulatiOn rs per cent in the last ten years.
If Salt Lake has done as well as her
sister on the east is claiming to have
done, her population should now be
Is, coo.
One of the best enumeratOrs that Su-
pervisor Pratt had estimates that each
of the ffty-fve enumerators who
worked in this city worked twelve
days out OF a possible fourteen, and
that they worked on the average eight
hours a day. He thinks, too, that they
averaged twelve names per hour. If
this estimate is to be relied upon, the
number of people in the city is So, $50.
Mayor Thompson will make appliCa-
ton to Director Merriam Of the census
bureau in Washington for the official
figures as soon as he thinks they can be
had, which viii be in a few days.

FIGURE ON THE CENSUS
Various Estimates of Salt Lakes
Population.
HOW BIG THE CITY IS
SPECULATION RUNS FROM 60, 900
TO $4,000.

Now that the enumeration of-the city
has been completed by Supervisor
Pratt's little army of fifty-five men
and women, there is much speculation
as to what the population of the city
really is, and there is the widest di-
versity of opinion as to the figures. h.
L. Polk & Co., in their last city dlrec-
tory, place the population Of the city
and the surrounding suburban towns
at S4,6O5, but as the number of people
in the suburban towns is not given,
this is indefinite when il comes to get
ting at the population Of the city it
self.
The Chicago Tribune gave an esti-
mate yesterday of the population IN
der the new census of twenty-five Of
the largest cities in the country. The
average gain since 1880, as shown in
these figures, was about 40 per cent.
The population of Salt Lake in 1880 was
4, 1000. If it has gained 40 per cent -
the ten years the population now would
be $1,000, and this is very close to the
estimate made at the beginning by Su-
perViSor Pratt

Why Work is Delayed

Engineer Kelsey was heard from
again. to the evident displeasure of the
board. This time the communication
made the apt inquiry Of what was the
reason for the Green & Reeve company,
contractor for the extension of the pipe
line from Parley's conduit to All Hal
lows college new grounds, not COM
pleting the work on time. The work
should have been completed on June l,
but delays have occurred on account
of the rejection by the engineer Of in
ferior pipe. No work has been done on
the pipe line for a long time, because,
as it was admitted at the meeting.
Chairman Dolly ordered work to stop
until a right-of-way question had been
settled over ground in which pipe had
been laid. Before leaving to attend
the Mckinley convention Mr.. Dolly
forgot to notifA the contractor to re-
sumo work, and he would not trust the
duty to anyone else.
The board at first wanted to lay the
matter over till 'Dooly comes home,
but it was concluded that it would be

They'd Vote for Bryan.

Three attractive young women were
going up town on Madison avenue
car last evening when one noticed the
headlines ''16 to /" in a newspaper she
carried.
.What does '16 to l. mean, anyhow"
she chattered.
"Why, it means said the women
next to her, that sixteen silver dollars
would be equal to one gold-that is
/ mean that 1t will take sixteen ounces
OF silver to make silver dollar" Then
she blushed and looked confused, and a
demure woman in blue dress who
sat beside her endeavored to help her
out OF the tangie in this way:
.sWhat they want is to make dollar
out OF both metal. part silver and
part gold. II is sixteen parts OF gold
IN one OF silver, or sixteen parts of sill
yer TO one OF gold. I've forgotten
which. They call it bimettalism."
This solution was more satisfactory,
ane the conversation turned into other
channels. :.
aWhat pity those women can't
vote for Bryan" muttered a man in the
aeat ahead.--Columbu Dispatch

Telegraph Letter Signs.

Chicago, July 22.-Telegraphy by the
use of typewriters in place of the or
dinary clicking of the keys and receiv-
ers in telegraph offices has been made
possible by two Chicago men, Zalmon
G. Sholes and Alfred G. Gilmore They
have devised a mechanism by which a
message written with ordinary spelling
on a machine that has keyboard ex-
actly like the keyboard of an ordinary
typewriter will be printed If transmit
ted over a telegraph wire by another
typewriter in the Office to which it is
sent, hundreds of miles away.
The instruments have been tested
over a circuit OF 265 miles OF wire be-
longing to the Central Union Tele-
phone Company. connecting Blooming
ton. Springfield and Peoria.
The feature of the invention is that
while it receives and delivers messages
in the ordinary alphabet spelling, 1t
transmits them by the use of the
Morse telegraphic alphabet of dots and
dashes. The transmitter turns each
letter, figure or punctuation point in
to dots and dashes, and the receiver
which contains an instrument called a
"selector,' turns the dots and dashes
back into the ordinary signs.

To Move Glass Plants.

Pittsburg. July 22.--Henry G. Fry,
President of the National Glass Comp
any, announces that one of the results
following the annual conference of the
officials and salesman of that company
at Chautauqua will be the removal of
the companys five plants from Indiana
to the Pittsburg district as soon as
proper sites can be secured.
Negotiations now pending indicate
that they will be located in the Ohio
Valley near this city. The plants to
be removed are now at Summitsville,
Greentown, Dunkirk, Marion and New
Albany, Ind. They will bring to this
section over 5000 workmen.
The reasons given by Mr.. Fry for the
change are threefold. First, the sup
ply of natural gas iii Indiana is dimin-
ishing and can not he depended upon;
second, should Pittsburg gas fail other
fuel is of easy access; third, the Ohio
river provides unusual facilities for
reaching the Southern markets.

The Nltro-aIycerIne oraInaner.

The meeting OF the City Council as
Committee of the Whole last evening
was we'll attended and the ground was
carefully gone over in regard to pre-.
pairing an ordinance regulating the
storage or transit through the streets
of nitro-glycerine, dynamite or other
highly explosive substances.
This matter has received consider
able attention during the past few
years, but an ordinance that was salts
factory to all parties concerned has
never been drawn up.
The present Council has been wrest-
ling with this troublesome question
for several weeks and two ordinances
presented by the special committee ap-
pointed to draft an ordinance for the
purpose have been turned down by the
Council.
1t has seemed impossible to get an
ordinance that will fully protect the
lives and property of the citizens of
Marietta without prohibiting the stor-
age or TRANSFORMATION of explosives, and
this ins out of the question, as it inter-
feres with the carrying on of perfect
ly legitimate business. In other cities
throughout the oil fields, it is said, or
dinances have been adopted, but have
been found impract.cable and it has
generally been left to the nitro-glycer-
inc companies to protect the people
and their property by exercising due
caution in securing careful drivers,
safe teams, regulating the travel to
certain streets, and storing none of the
dangerous stuff within the city limits.
At the meeting last night Messrs.
Bankson and Miller representing the
interests of the dealers in nitro-glycer-
inc, were present and the matter was
talked over in fair manner.
The question is still in the hands of
the special committee, and it is prob
able that they will be prepared to pre-
sent an ordinance at the meeting of
Council tonight.
