of the richest Spanish merchants of Ha-

obliged to go to the guardhouse tonight

STILL A MYSTERY.
Origin and Absolute Purpose of the
Pittsburg Tunnel Not Yet Learned.

PITTSBURG, July 2S.--The mystery of
the tunnel from the cellar of 2S Sterling
street into the yard of the western peni-
tentiary may never be solved, although
investigation is being made by penitentiary
officials and the police department of
Allegheny and Pittsburg. To-day the en-
tire length of the tunnel was explored.
1t was found to extend from the Sterling
street house under the street to the prison
wall and a distance of 261 feet along the
wall line. Here an opening was made and
the tunnel carried five feet inside the yard
The direction taken from that point was
upward and to within five inches of the
surface close to large stone pile The
work was most complete in every detail,
and measurements were evidently taken
with the greatest accuracy.
All is conjecture as to who was to bene-
fit by the tunnel, but Warden Wright is
decidedly of the opinion that it was
Joint conspiracy of the friends of An
archist Berkman and ]. c. Boyd. the real
estate swindler, to effect their release from
prison. Wright thinks the outside work
was completed and the workers left, de-
pending on those inside TO escape at the
most opportune moment. Having an ink
ling of something unusual I'm connection
with these two prisoners. the warden took
precautions that made escape absolutely
impossible The timely discovery of the
tunnel insures the retention of the pris-
oners until their terms expire Berkman
sent communication to Warden Wright
in which he denies any knowledge of a
plot to escape, and says the connection
of his name with the story may injure his
chances for the pardon his friends are
working for.

FROM THREE QUARTERS.
Assurances that the Ministers Were
Alive on July ~.

Associated Press Dispatch.
WASHINGTON. July 2s-Coming from
three separate quarters this morning, the
assurance that the foreign ministers at
Peking were alive and we'll on July a. had
q tendency TO dissipate the pessmistic view
which the State Department has been TAX
ing for the last few days as TO the situa-
lion in Peking. X is true that compari-
OF the various edicts and statements
hearing on this subject appear TO demon
strate the fact that they all came from
one fountain-head. either Yuan Shih Kai or
il Hung Chang. But the persistence with
which these stories of the safety OF the
ministers are circulated undoubtedly is
shaking the belief of those who heretofore
have been satisfied that all of the minis
trrs in Peking were dead.
To-dsy's assurances came from Mr.. Fow-
Ter the American consul at Che-Foo; from
Mr.. McWade. the American consul at Can

ernor of Shan-Tung. presented by Minister
Wa to-day stating that the imperial of
fcials have provisioned the ministers is
not looked on as reassuring, but is re-
ssrded with deep-seated suspicion. If the
Chinese government is honest. why does
il not enable the ministers TO communicate
directly with their governments? That is
the question every official now asks.
Speaking of Yuan's dispatch high War
Department Official to-day said: The
Chinese authorities took the hint about
feeding the legations from this govern
ment. and at once assured US that they
would prepare 10 feed the minister's Then
they stated that they had prepared to feed

that the foreign devils are wallowing in the
tat of the land. AS we swallowed the Con-
ser dispatch they have no fears of our

The foregoing voices the disgusted in
oredulity with which Yuan's dispatch was
received to-day This much is sure: This
government is not losing any time IN the
preparations it is making to send all the
troops possible to China. Whether Mr..
COnger be alive or dead those preparations

Der as it will be safe to advance with.

FATHER DUcEY GAVE IT A TRY
New Style of Collection Plate Gets a
Practical Test at st. Leo's.
CFrom the New York Sun Jun,


(From the New York Sun, June A.
After the sermon at the II o'clock
mass yesterday Father Ducey, pastor
of st. Leo's Church in East Twenty
eighth street, told the congregation
that during the week he had been Wis
tied by a man who wanted him to try
a number of What he termed ''ecclesi-
astical inventions" One of the inVen-
tons was a curiously constructed col
lection plate, the object of which was
to increase the average of church col
lections Is per cent.
THE invention comes from the do
ceSe of Rochester" said Father Ducey,
smilingly, and the man who is intro
ducing il said that all of the other
churches had obtained Il supply of the
boxes. The invention, it was claimed,
would prevent. for instance, wealthy
man from putting in a bright cent for
a five-dollar gold piece. 1t would be
there in the box before the eyes of his
fellow parishioners and the collector
long enough to ascertain just how much
1t was, and then it would disappear
INTO receptacle below operated by the
collector. The invention was proof
against the dishonesty of collector
and very much like the numerous tabu-
lating machines in the commercial
world. The man who was giving to
God would have the satisfaction of see
ing his contribution go down into the
lower receptacle. from which only the
pastor could take it.
Il laughed at the idea What a
charge against the honesty of the
church member and the collector Such
ecclesiastical inventions have no place
in the house of God. They are re-

lions, but, ! shall not use them more

morning to show you what they are
like, and I promise you that they will
not be used in this church again while

When the pastor had stepped down
from the pulpit all waited anxiously to
see the new machines. Soon the four
ushers marched up the aisles. The two
in the middle aisle were armed with
the machines, while those in the side
aisles had the old plates. The former
two approached the first pew in which
was an elderly man. He eyed the APP
paratus for few seconds and then
threw in a bill. The usher pressed a
button, and the parishioner saw his
money disappear. The ushers wore a
broad smile as they went the rounds,
pushing the button for every coin or
bill they received, and, true enough,
every one saw exactly what his neigh

cALDER,s MUSIC PALACE.

The oldest established music house
west of Chicago certainly deserves
distinguished notice among the repre-
sentative concerns of Salt Lake City.
To Calder's Music Palace belongs this
honor.
Founded by D. o. Calder in 1860, this
pioneer house was the first to bring
to the people of Utah a complete sup
ply of musical merchandise, and place
within the reach of the jewellers in the
wilderness the finest instruments and
choicest melodies produced in the art
centers of civilization.
At that early period Salt Lake City
had not been linked to the east by a
railroad; hence all goods had to be
hauled by ox-teams from Council
Bluffs to this point. Since then this
firm has grown with the growth of the
city and state and has advanced with
the progress of the times, so that it's
name has become a household word
in Utah and a wide extent of terri
tory surrounding the state.
The firm originally occupied prem
ises at No. Y Main street, and in 1883
moved into their own building, which
they now occupy, located at 45 and AZ
West First South street, Salt Lake
CITY
Calder's Music Palace has a measure
floors and a basement. The entire
building is filled with an immense and
varied stock of musical instruments of
all the standard makers, musical pub
locations and supplies Of every con-
ceivable description. This house is sole
representative for the world renowned
pianos of Steinway & Sons, Steck,
Mason & Hanlin, Behi Bro, Kimball,
Vose & Sons, and other leading MAX
n fn1. l,A INC Of Moc
& Hamlin and w. w. kimball. Band
instruments, guitars, violins and the
strings and other fittings necessary
for them, can be found here of super
Tor quality in infinite variety. The
house is also agent for the Gramo-
phone, the most satisfactory and dur
able talking machine on the market.
A repair shop equipped to execute
any sort of work that may be required
upon every kind of musical instru-
ment forms part of the establishment,
and is kept busy with work sent in by
dealers from a wide territory around
Salt Lake City, for it is in fact the
only complete workshop of its class
operated in this section of the country.
A conservatory of music. directed by
competent instructors, forms useful
and popular feature of this admirable
home of melody. During its long and
successful business career, Calder's
Music Palace has built up splendid
patronage extending chiefly through
Utah, Idaho. Nevada western Wyom-
ing and Colorado, while orders are re-
ceived frequently from as far north
as Montana and as far south as Mex
leo.
The same correct, liberal and pro
gressive business methods that devel-
oped Calder's Music Palace from a
small beginning to it's present import
ance and assured prosperity, still char
acterize the management, and contin-
ues to extend the commercial field of
the house, keeping pace with the de-
velopment of the intermountain coun-
try.
