There was big land slide somewhere
in Parley's canyon this morning and
the water that comes from that part
Of the city's supply became so dense
that II was found necessary to cut it
completely off from the regular system.
On the matter being reported from
the tank house at the mouth OF the
canyon the officials in the city at once
consulted and ordered the disconnec-
tion made, a fact that reduced the
pressure In the pipes considerably, and

What "a Daub of Ink Did.

A certain newspaper proprietor had
way of APPEARING in the composing
and press rooms at the most unexpected
times, and as his visits often resulted
in a general "shakeup" of the working
forces of the paper they were awaited
with fear and trembling by the en-
ployees.
One time one of the pressmen, an ex-
cellent workman, who had been there
many years, but was sometimes guilty
Of lapse Of sobriety, had black eye
and was in quandary as to what ex-
cuse he should offer If the proprietor
noticed it. BY sudden inspiration he
seized an ink roller and daubed some
ink on his face, quite covering the dis
coloration. Presently the governor
came in and. with the foreman. went
through the room, commenting on ev-
cry detail and looking very sharply at
every workman. When about to leave.
he suddenly pointed to the inky press
man and said, what is that mans
name?"
The man quaked in his shoes until he
continued slowly: 81 want you to give
that man shillings week more
wages. He is the only man in the
room who looks as If he had been
working"

Rhodes maintains that the president
ought not In the future to hold public
receptions to which any one and every
one is admitted without question, ell
Their at the White House or elsewhere,
and many persons In Washington agree
with him. 1t Is a custom which ought
to be broken up, and the country would
strongly commend the new president
were he to be the one to do it. A
state department officer said to the cor
respondent:
"From this time forth the promiscu-
GUS handshaking receptions which
American presidents have held should
be a thing of the past. 1t is purely
American institution. / know Of no
other country in the world where there
is anything like it. The practice be-
gan when the nation was young and
during the administration Of jefferson
and other presidents, who made a spe-
cialty of their democratic manners. All
this did very we'll when Washington
was country town. and the neighbors
could be invited in to shake hands with
the president. But it has no place in
a republic of 76,O00,OOO Of people,
drawn from all the nations of the earth
and comprising the worst as we'll as
the best of the worlds population.
Having made our country an asylum
for every refugee, we should not feel
bound to invite criminals and political
outlaws. social malcontents and assas-
sins. to step up and shake hands with
our chief executive. The finest police
arrangements in the world cannot pro-
tect man exposed to such danger.
There is no special virtue in hand
shake. 1t is a severe tax to any presi
dent and should have been abolished

OLDEST AMERICAN ACTOR,
Interesting Career of the Late j.
Booth Roberts.

Booth Roberts.
The late James Booth Roberts. the
Oldest actor in America. made his first
! appearance on the stage at the age Of
seventeen, when he played Richmond
! to the Richard Ill. Of Junius Brutus
Booth In the Walnut Street theater in
Philadelphia. He rapidly attained emf
| hence in his profession and at various
times and places was one of the lead
ing stock stars, playing with Edwin
Forrest, Charles Kean, William Charles
Macready, Lawrence Barrett and Ed
win Booth, says the New York Herald.
He made a tour Of England in the
early fifties. appearing in London and
the provinces and playing Othello, Shy
lock and Sir Giles Overreach in Mas
singers "a New Way to Pay Old
Debts" In this last character he was
hailed by the English critics as the
equal Of E. L. Davenport. Mr.. Rob-
erts was the first American actor to
appear In Faust" playing Mephis-
topheles In translation Of his own.
He was also the creator of Mephisto
when the "Black Crook" made it's first
appearance in America.
1t was always said of James Booth
Roberts that had it not been for his
diminutive stature he would have rank
ed in the public estimation with and
gained the fame of Forrest, Kean and
Booth. He was about 5 feet G inches
In height, but was equipped with an
enormous and imposing head and was
compelled to wear an eight and half
inch hat.
He was noted as a fine reader and In
parts which were not associated with
men Of great physique gained public
recognition. He thus won fame as Shy
lock. King Lear, Richard ILL.,. Sir Giles
Overreach and Sir Edward Mortimer
in "The Iron Chest" Mr.. Roberts was
particularly happy as Mark Antony in
the forum scene In Julius Caesar" and
was pronounced the finest Mark An.
tony of his day, not even excepting Ed
win Forrest.
Mr.. Roberts retired from the stage
twenty-five years ago at the age Of
siXty-one and of late years had made
his home with his two nieces in Phila-
delphia. He also became a lecturer on
Shakespeare and the old English poets
at Catholic college in Philadelphia.
He was never married. He knew all
the great lights of the English stage of
the nineteenth century. Among the
men now living who affectionately re-
member him are Sir Henry Irving.
Bran Stoker William Winter and
Charles Henry Meter.
Mr.. Roberts was, with Everett King,
one of the organizers of the Shakes
peare Birthday club, which was found.
ed two years ago and which has as its
two honorary members Emperor Will
liam of Germany and Sarah Bernhard.
1t was with the assistance Of the mem.
bers of this club that Mr.. Roberts had
planned to give one presentation Of
1.-THE Merchant Of Venice" with HIM
self as Shylock, in Philadelphia this
coming winter. 1t was to have been
his farewell to the stage.
His last public appearance was on
April % in Philadelphia, when he pre-
sided at the annual dinner Of the
Shakespeare club. Toward the close
Of the dinner he said sadly:
81 am the last of the autumn leaves.
shall be waited away before we meet
again."
