A good deal of interest conferred in

not knowing the facts. who assumed
that she had followed the stage 2t least
several years. Her talent is not in her

Society Braved the Storm for
ssFatinitza.''

'Fatinitza" was given it's initial rem
ditions by the Salt Lake Opera com
pany at the Theatre yesterday after
noon and evening. Both houses were
of the kind that makes amateur events
paying propositions. At popular prices
there was hardly breathing room at
either performance. blizzard was
blowing outside long before the doors
were opened last night, but it had no
apparent effect on the ardor of the
company's admirers. While the con-
ference visitors swelled the attendance
materially, society was out in force,
and the comDany's reception was enthu-
siastic
There are many pleasing hits in the
opera as rendered by the local company,
but .Fatinitza, as a production, does
not quite come UP to the standard es-
tablished by some OF its predecessors,
notably The Queens Lace Handker-
chief Suppe made il a continual de-
light to hear, certainly, and the man
agement gave special attention to the
mounting of the piece, which is elabor-
ate indeed But somehow the principals
have not the same opportunity they are
accustomed to, and one cannot enthuse
over their work to the usual extent. But
were the question asked, il would be
readily admitted by any one who heard
the opera last night that it was a sump-

OF one thing there is no doubt The
chorus is in better form (musically)
than ever. They sing with more vol
ume and greater warmth, and, better
still they sing together. There was
no amateurish uncertainty observable
in their work, but the whole piece was
sung with dash and spirit and accur
acy-indispensable elements If a high
standard is to be attained. For the cap

Eloquent Tributes to the Worth of
the Deceased


The funeral services over the remains
of Boman Cannon, who died at his home
in this city on Thursday evening. were
held in the Thirteenth ward meeting
house yesterday afternoon in the pres
ence of the members OF his family and
a large gathering Of friends. The serv-
ices were in charge of Bishop Nelson a.
Empey, and brief addresses were de-
ivered by him and President Angus NJ.
Cannon. The many sterling qualities
of the man were set forth and a brief
sketch of his life given. 1t was shown
that he was the only man in the his
tory of Utah TO serve in the office OF
the United States marshal for twenty
years, and his popularity there and in
the other offices he subsequently filed
was proved by the number of his assoc
ciate officers who were present at the
funeral.
The music was furnished by a special

MILLER ARRESTED.
Old Jail Bird Taken on a Charge of
Stealing.

Stealing.
August Miller, who has already
served two terms in the county jail
for housebreakfng, the last sentence
expiring week ago, was arrested at
an early hour this morning for turn
ing another trick.
Late yesterday afternoon when Mrs.
John Powell returned from market to
her home u East Fifth South street,
she heard suspicious noises at the rear
OF the house, and going back to inves-
tigate saw a big, s5urly fellow just leav-
ing the premises. Mrs. Powell asked
what his business was and received an
evRsive reply. and her son came just in
time to see and recognize the tres
passer. After the stranger had gone a
pocketbook containing % ana some
small change was missing.
The case was reported to the sheriff
and from the description given the Of
ficers soon reached the conclusion that
Miller was the nouesbreaker. At first
the officers kept watch OF a house near
Sixth and J streets, where Miller
sweetheart lives, expecting him TO
make an evening can. but he did not
show up and another clue was followed.

Sheriff Mayor, accompanied by Depu-
ties Eld-edge and Arnup. found Miller
and took him TO the county Jail. The
fugitive was preparing to leave the
house on tip from a man who admit

Mr.. Hayward's Interesting Talk at
University Club.


At the University club last evening
Engineer r. F. Hayward of the Utah
! Light & Power company entertained /
, large assembly Of varsity men and
their lady friends with d lecture on
electricity. From the nature OF the
topic and the manner of its treatment
the lecture was one of the most inter-
eStlng of the clubs Saturday night
events.
A corner of the large reception room
resembled busy corner in an cleo
tfical supply station and when the
strong current from the street wires
was tapped at intervals TO demonstrate
some particular point the lecturers
corner looked like power plant. With
the. nrSt illustration of how electricity
is produced the talk was practical but
none the less entertaining. Telephones,
/ llShts, motors and other eXemplifiCa-
lions of the might of the subtle power
were shown in operation and all OF the
many features of their construction and
efnclency that appear to the uninitiat
ed as wonderful secrets were shown
with familiarity that soon convinced
the assembly that Mr.. Hayward knows
his business.
At intervals the demonstrator showed
lhal even the greatest students of cleo
u1clty, from Tesla and Edison down,
are sun working out problems of how
TO overcome deficiencies in the appl-
cation OF the mighty forces of ma ghetto
action To all of them the science is
stu in the realms Of the unknown. For
example. Mr.. Hayward made il plain
that there is a tremendous loss of en-
ergy in the conversion Of electric cur
rents illumination through arcs and
incandescents. much of the wasted
power going into heat and for this
reason he predicted that vast improve
mentS viii yet be made in the produc-
ton or light. very much more so than
IN the matter of generating power
solely
NOT the least interesting of Mr.. Hav--
ward demonstrations was how cleo
lIlcaI energy is transmitted many miles
through wires at a comparativelv small
loss OF power at high voltage and then
transformed into currents of lighter
voltage. 7e~'
When Mr.. Hayward tapped a cllrrent
