NAUGHTY CORA PvTTER.
Enslaves a Flashy Western Million
aire of the Border Type.
(Chicago Chronicle.


While Kyrle Beilew is starring in the
country with sweet girl ingenue, Cora
Urquhart has been left 10 her own de-
vices on the other side of the water, and
she certainly has been unusually busy
even Tor ner. First she set the EplSco-
pal constituency by the ears, by persuad-
ing one of the eminent clergy to entertain
her with flourish of trumpets, and
atterward 10 let her take a declamatory
part in the church services and have her
picture taken in the act, and now she has
turned her attention TO one of her own
countrymen whose only god is gold, and
VINO probably never goes to church except
when the alluring Cora is to be seen
within the chancel rails
Very likely Cora is a devotee at the
Shrine of the golden god herself, hence
the sympathetic bond between her and
her latest conquest.
Mr.. Gardner is a robust, dashing west
erner OF the border type, who. after all
sorts of ups and downs in america, struck
luck in Australia and returned TO San
francisco, worth, SO report says, nearly
SlOOOO,VtO. He married there a retiring
girl in modest circumstances but with
splendid physical and intellectual gifts
Two years ago the couple suddenly
flashed upon Paris society. Nobody knew
their precise antecedents, but Mr.. Gard

Wife was sWeetly charming, while their
unbounded wealth and open handed hap
py ways combined to make them univer-
sally liked. They lived in a rich palace cn

The mutual devotion was constantly
held UP as an example until Gardner
whose vast If quiet handling of stocks
frequently took him TO London, met Mrs
Brown Potter. Tn Il everything smashed.
According to Mrs Gardners friends,
Frank was soon enthralIed His own sup
porters say his wife simply misconstrued
his purely artistic interest in the actress
career. However, universal pity was
felt over the rapfsp eStrangement, for
nothing could seetbe Mrs. Gardner s
wifely love. Finally both agreed to a
separation as quiet as possible, Gardner
was too generous minded not to have
settled a handsome fortune on his wife
Besides, Mrs. Gardner owns $500, OO1
worth of jewels. Nevertheless, il is
greatly deDlOred here that Mrs. Potters
beauty should have caused this great
heart tragedy.

TELEPHONE NEWS SERVICE.

4 TELEPHONE NEWS SERVICE
Il which a Budapest genius put into
successful operation is being tried on
a small scale by an enterprising Indi-
ana editor. He calls up all his sub
scribers at the same hour, and when
each of them has his receiver ready
the news of the day is transmitted, the
same talk being made for all. The
editor, if course, does not attempt to
give anything but the merest outlines
of the most impo-ta events, but his
people certainly get the news while it
is news.
The progress Of the enterprise. which
is yet in the experimental stage, will
be watched with much interest by
newspaper men and others. It is not
at all likely that the telephone news
paper, if it may he called that. can
ever supplant the printed page. In
deed, it will be more likely to help
the paper printed in the orthodox way,
for the news skeleton furnished will
whet the appetites of the listeners for
such further details as they can only
get from their dailies.
manifest disadvantage of the sys-
tenn lies in the fact that all subscrib-
ers are not interested in the same ar
ticles. 1t would be very trying. for in
stance. to a man who wants to know
who won the fight to be obliged to lis
ten while the editor reads a half col
umn of gossip about the latest Paris
fashions. A man might be very much
interested in the quotations on butter
and eggs and yet not care a CONT
mental whether the revolution in Vene-
zuela was over or not.
The aim Of the newspaper is TO salts
fy a clientele of widely divergent
tastes. 1t is poor publication, in
deed, that doesn't furnish some one or
more articles which are exactly what
the individual who happens to be read
ing it wants to know about. AS a pro-
moter of patience the telephone news
paper may supply the long felt
want of which We have so often
heard, but it won't do much else.

SHOUP AND THE HERALD.

T. EX-SENATOR SHOUP-GDn't forget
Il the "ex''--is stewing considerably
because The Herald has been printing
some Idaho news. The former senator
goes so far as to say the Herald has
been dishonorable because it gave the
people the report of the charges made
oy the civil service commission against
Surveyor General Perrault. Mr.. Per
,ault, as Mr.. Shoup says. was appoint
ID by him, the former senator, and he
'eels very much aggrieved at the
thought that this newspaper should
make public the troubles Of the sur
yeyor general
Of course, we are sorry to incur Mr..
shoup's displeasure. but Wen try to
Dear up with equanimity. We cannot
say how grieved we are, but If it all
lad to be done over again it wouldn't
De done differently. Judged by the
Shoup standpoint, it is dishonorable
,or a newspaper to print news, if it re-
ates to one Of his pets. We once more
1esire to express cur regret, hat We
cannot agree with him.
The Herald made no charges against
Peyrault: it has no fight with him. AS
an individual The Herald is utterly in
different to Mr.. PerTault. But when
The civil service commission made
some ugly charges against him he be-
came interesting, from the news stand
point, and the news was printed. If
the surveyor general is successful il
disprovins the charges. and We will go
so far as to hope he will be successful,
The Herald will gladly print the fact;
Tor that. too. will be news
We don't like to set our judgment
up against Mr.. Shoup's, but we cling
10 the opinion that it is a newspapers
business to print news, no matter who
is. concerned. The Herald was print
ing news when Mr.. Shoup was in the
senate, it is printing news now that
ne is out Of the senate, it viii print
the news no matter whether he ever
gets into the senate again or not.
Therefore, regrettable as it may ap-
pear, The Herald has no apology 70
offer to ex-senator Shoup Of the state
OF Idaho.

GERS of G. company. Twelfth regiment
The dinner was given al the Arena. Thir-
ty-second street, off Broadway, and the
host did not sit at the head of the table,
for it was a military affair, and the men
were seated according TO their rank. Cap
tain j. G. Bernhard had the place OF
honor. and to his left was Second Lieu
tenant Vanderbilt.
In the center of the table was a diminu-
tive Christmas tree. about six inches n
height. Its tiny branches were loaded
with candy cannon, guns, sabres and
other military insignia, apparently the
gifts of q LilliputiOn Santa Claus, whose
chef. as the feast proved, must have been
from the land of BrObdingnag. The red
holly branches of the holiday season were
scattered over the white cloth, that

scene of the banquet.
There they saluted their superior. the

caps and coats were properly checked.
The men shook hands with Mr. Wander

missiOned officers really like their second

Soda and Free LUNCHES.

For many years saloon keepers have
furnished their patrons with luncheon at
certain hours, the only cost being the
price of a drink, and many men have
taken advantage of this to get a mid
day meal for nothing Now in some east
ern cities their wives may do the same
thing. thanks to the enterprise of GER
tain proprietOrs of soda water fountains.
For some time past ii has been the Gus
tom TO set out plate of sweet biscuits

ARIZONA HAY. CROP LARGER.
Alfalfa in Salt River Valley is Val
ued at So, 100000. s.
lChicag0 ChronicleD-


Phoenix, Ariz.-Buyers from the mid
die states are here for the purpose of Sc
curing all available hay for shipment and
have succeeded in contracting for about
$1,000 tons. A small amount of barley hay
has been purchased, but the principal
crop Is alfalfa. The recent drouth of the
middle states is responsible for the heavy
demand for hay from Arizona. Shipments
will be made to Kansas City and possibly
to st. Louis and Chicago.
The alfalfa crop in the Salt river valley,
surrounding Phoenix, has been the mar
vel of agriculture in this young territory.
The total acreage this season amounts TO
100000 acres, and il is estimated that the
value of the crop will amount to g, 900,
600. An estimate has been made that fully
10000 tons of hay and perhaps more will
be shipped from Arizona. The rapidly in
creasing Importance of the Arizona hay
crop is surprising in that but a few years
ago mining constituted the only industry

Salt Lake has rarely heard one Of
the gentler sex perform upon a grand
organ. 4 recital given at the First
Congregational church last night by
Mrs. L. c. Miller was therefore some
thing of a novelty, besides a most en-
jOyable event. The invitations issued
by Mrs. Miller were eagerly responded
to, the church being almost filled by
the brilliant assemblage. In her work
at the organ the performer showed I'M
usual skill, her registration being es-
pecially fine. All the numbers were
heartily encOred and to select a favor
lite in the programme, which ranged
from a ponderOus Bach fuge to a Lee
mare romance, would be difficult.
Mrs. Somers- Cocks assisted the or
ganist and sang with characteristic
fervOr. OF her several splendid num-
bers, none was better than the Cava-
tina from Roberto II DiavOlo.'
A reception followed the musical pro-
gramme.
