the city may by that time, be able TO

quantity Of irrigation water through

This appears to be now the only re-

A NEW DEPARTURES.

It IL announced that the Methodist
ministers Of Utah will adopt a new
policy in reference to 'Mormonism and
the Mormons." Instead OF devotlng
their chief energies TO denounclng one
and berating the other, they will turn
their minds and speeches toward the
PRONUNCIATION OF Methodlsm, and en-
deavor rather TO proclaim their own
religion than to attack land seek to de-
stroy another
This determination was arrived at, II
is reported, in executive session Of the
Methodist conference held in this city,
on Friday afternoon. There has been
great deal OF wranglng in times past
In some Of the sessions Of the Methodist
conferences, and It was thought wise on
their part TO go into executive session
and exclude reporters, so that the dis
putes might not appear in public print.
This shows commendabe prudence, and
leaves the ministers TO give publicity TO
that which concerns the public, or that
they desire 10 make known, and pre-
serve IN privacy such parts OF their
proceedings as are nobodys business
but their own
II our Methodist friends have really
come TO the conclusion mentioned, they

ranged that the two couples should be
married with one ceremony, the two
brides responding at the same time
and the two bridegrooms doing the
same There had not been any pre-

come a long distance and had reached
the church but few minutes before
the time for the ceremony.
All went well until it came time for
the minister to say, "And now l pro-
nounce you man and wife,"
1t suddenly became obvious to the
minister that the usual formula would
not do in the case of two men and two

A Ret md LIS Odds.

A notorious gambler who died some
time ago, once wagered thousand dol
lars to one that six would not be
thrown with a pair of dice ten times
in succession. His offer was taken up
by q fellow clubman. The dice were
brought, and his opponent actually
threw six nine times in succession. The
gambler then offered $470 to be free
Of the bet. The other man declined,
had his tenth throw and failed to get
another six.
Just to show how very little the av-
erage man knows about the doctrine
of chances a well known mathemat1c-
ian has pointed out the real odds about
this bet. The chances We're no less
than 60,466,175 to 1 against six being
thrown ten times in succession; there
fore the real bet should have been
about 100000 to 1 cent against such
thing happening.-Pittsburg Gazette.

Try This-Drop a Penny.

Have you ever noticed the interest
that money attracts even if it is only
q single cent? The next time that you
see q copper coin dropped in a street
car just observe. Every eye in the
car will turn to the spot where it
dropped, and there will be manifested
a real general concern over its recov-
cry. Two or three heads are likely
to come in contact over the point of its
disappearance, and then their owners
will draw suddenly back and try to
appear unconcerned, but in another
second they are again leaning forward.
The man who dropped the cent is
usually the first who appears to have
brushed memory Of the trivial occur
renee aside, but just as soon as the
eyes in the car have turned from him
his own are sure to go back to the
floor in the hope that the truant coin
will be seen.
When he has gone, there is re-
newed interest among the passengers,
for the stage of flinders keepers" has
arrived, and those near the spot Of
disappearance become quite diligent
until they are aware they make CEN
ter of attraction. But interest in that
little coin is not lost while there is a
passenger left, and when the car is
empty the conductor takes his turn
and resurrects the cent.-NeW York
Herald
