INJURIES TO THE FOOT.

A number OF fatalities have occurred
in Utah and elsewhere during the past
few weeks, oceasioned by injuries to
the foot. Tetanus. or lockjaw. has been
the consequence and death the result.
There have been cases Of similar acct
dents TO those that befell the persons

having been attended 20 promptly and

regarded as very dangerous and liable

as lockiaw. Whether the extreme heat

towns, peopled largely by natives, the
deaths exceeded the births last year by

The suggestion Is made that the fact
may be accounted for partly, on the
ground that so many strong and
healthy persons are continually leaving
the east for the west. and that Is no
doubt true. But, for some reason OF
other, there seems TO be tendency IN
most civilized countries toward an
abnormal decrease OF the birth rate,
due to moral condition which cannot
but cause deep concern. There Is no
remedy for this either, except a moral
awakening. such as We read Of took

A JUST JUDGMENT.

The decision rendered by Judge w
c, Hall in favor OF the defendants, IN
the case against the estate OF the laie
Dr. John r. Park, as announced IN
the News Of Thursday evening, VIII
De received with general satisfaction
BY the great body Of the people Of THIS
state. The attempt to wrest from its
purpose the intention Of the deceased
10 aid IN the great cause OF education
has been regarded with general dis
favor. IL has been well understood. FOR
a great many years, that the ceremony
which took place between DR. Park and
the complainant was solemnIzed solely
with view TO relations In the next
world. and was not regarded as d mar
rage IN the common and legal accepta-
ton Of the term.
We need not so into the details OF
this peculiar case. as they have been
already presented with perhaps too
wide scope Of comment before the
public. Whatever technioallties in the
law the parties seeking TO break the
win OF the testator may have endeay-
ored to take advantage Of, the Intent
OF both parties to the religious cerc-
mony which took place when the lady
was supposed to be on her death bed,
had then no relation 10 the obligations
and duties OF marriage for this life
II has appeared TO US, all along dur
ing the controversy on this subject
that the position Is sound, that the
intent and purpose OF parties TO any
kind Of contract must be taken into
consideration, In order 10 reach Just
Judgment as to their meaning and ef.
feet.
With the friends OF DR.. Park who
were intimate with him and his career,
there IL not the shadow OF doubt as
TO his intention, when he consented to
take the place which he was requested
to assume by the bedside of the gil
then supposed TO be dying, He meant
TO act simply as one OF the parties to-
a marriage for eternity. according to
the rites OF the Church Of Jesus Christ
Of Latter-day Saints. or course it
might be argued that eternity compre-
hends and includes time. In ordinary
instances this might have some weight
In argument, but the circumstances
surrounding the Incident were peculiar,
and II was only TO secure TO the invalid
that status which she believed was
necessary TO her complete happiness
and exaltation in a future state, that
DR.. Park took the position which he
was requested to occupy.
Judge Hall has taken some time to
lock into the momentous cause sub
mltted to his judgment, and to inform
himself fully as TO the bearing Of judi
clal interpretations OF the law bearing
upon the question, and has arrived at
safe and we believe a sound conclu-
sion, which will be so regarded by near.
~ every one who has taken an interest
in the contention that has arisen. We
congratulate Mr.. Stewart and all as
ISOLATED with the defense on the judg-
ment that has been rendered. Now let
the win OF the departed be carried into
effect. and let the unpleasantness that
has arisen over the endeayor TO partial
ly defeat his intentions be banished as
soon as possible.

A LOST ART,


A dispatch from Des Molnes says
the governor of the state has paroled
L. r.. Dawson, In order to save for SCI
enoe the lost art Of making Damascus
steel. Dawson. II is said, has spent a
lifetime endeavoring to discover the
secret Of that art, and he finally sue
ceeded. In the early 9Os he perfected
his process. and company was formed
for the purpose OF manufacturing tho
steel,
But then a young man eloped with
his daughter and married her, and
Dawson killed him. He was tried and
sent to the state prison, and he took his
secret with him. Fearing that conline-
ment and his advanced years would
suddenly terminate his life. the COM
pany-so the story goes-began to seek
for Dawsons release. Rather than that
the secret should be lost to the world
Governor Shaw made use Of his official
prerogatiye, and the prison doors viii
swing open to the old inventor.
The Damt sous steel has peculiar
stresked appearance, 1t has great
elasticity, but is particularly well
adapted fol- the manufacture of swords
and other cutting instruments, on ac-
count Of its capacity for taking and re-
talnlng a very fine edge. II Is claimed
that by the method discovered by
Dawson, Damascus steel can be made
cheaper than the ordinary steel. 1t
may be a question whether the early
ancestors Of the Anglo. saxons were not
familiar with the art, since mythology
often makes reference 10 swords Of
most remarkable cutting and penetrat-
ing power.
And this reminds one that the world
stil has evidences Of arts once known
TO man In the dim past, but now for
gotten. notwithstanding our boosted
advancement one Of these evidences
Is found In the great Egyptian pyramid.
Those who have studied 1t with the ut.
most scientific care, find that as to
orientatlon and leveling, It is
more perfect than any other
structure IN the whole world. Its
foundations are so anchored into the
solid rock, that nothing but rupture Of
that can shake il. The jolntlng is so
perfect that the huge blocks forming
the courses we're once supposed to be
one solid mass. There are, in the
judgment OF Prof, Flinders Petri, no
mechanics today in existence who
could do that piece Of work, as II was
done by the pyramid builders. Their
tools We're superior to those OF the
present day, and their knowledge OF
astronomy geometry and mathematics
must have been as accurate as that OF
present scientists, perhaps more SO.
Such facts are significant They
prove that mankind, In its early ages,
when freely partaking Of divine in
struction, was raised to a most exalted
level OF perfection in every branch Of
knowledge and industry. They indicate
that the true cause OF decline from
this level Is the loss Of such instruc-
ton, and they point to a future time Of
still greater perfection. when true
knowledge, from the eternal fountain
OF light, shall flow freely and cover the
earth, as the water the bottom OF the
| vast ocean.

ENFORCING THE LAW.


Down In Kansas City they have a
little Sunday -saloon-cl closing question

there that insists on the laws being en-
forced, and it has been fighting for the
revocation OF the licenses OF those who
violate the Sunday closing ordinance.
And a committee Of the Ministers Al
lance is assisting the league In ts ef-
forts. The Rev, Dir. Hopkins was
chairman and made an appeal to the
