her in his usual careful and artistic
manner.

the program was Miss Helen E. Rowe's
rendition of Stern's "Printemps." Miss

CATEGORICAL REPLY TO
BE ASKED OF VATICAN
Negotiations Over Friars'
Lands Not Broken Off.
Governor Taft Authorized to Deliver
Note in Nature of Ultimatum to
Cardinal Rampolla.

Notwithstanding the obstacles in the
way Of successful termination of the
negotiations at Rome. caused by the un-
| satisfactory answer Of Cardinal Ram
polla to Governor Tafts propositions,
looking to the sale by the Vatican of
the friars' lands in the Philippines. the
officials here believe that it will not be
necessary to break off the negotiations.
Governor Taft was clearly disappoint-
ed with the Pope's reply to his COM
munication. 1t evaded the details of the
proposed transaction, and discussed
generally the subject Of the church in
terests in the Philippine Islands.
The Reply a Surprise.
Governor Taft had made it so plain
that his mission related entirely to a
settlement of business propositions. that
he was not prepared to receive a long
diplomatic document, which failed to
come to the point He had expected
something definite and was therefore
surprised when he found that no ac-
tual progress had been made toward a
settlement of the questions involved.
In the opinion of both the Secretary
'"4 oAu tAt iieSluenl, tnere was lit
tie need for negotiations in the pur-
chase OF the friars' lands. Governor
Iafts object in going TO Rome being for
the purpose Of dealing with the princi-
pal and avoiding legal proceedings in
the Manila courts.
In view OF this situation Governor
Taft believed that final communica
tion should be sent to Cardinal Ram
polla, calling attention to the obiects
OF his mission and the Importance of
securing something definite from the
Vatican.
In reply to Governor Taft's cablegram
urging that such a paper. in the nature
Of an ultimatum, be Immediately dellv-
cred to the Pope, Secretary Root late
Monday afternoon cabled Governor Taft
authorizing him to request Of Cardinal
Rampolla categorical reply to the
propositions Of the United States Gov
ernment.
Satisfactory Reply Expected.
1t is not thought here that the Vatican
will again seek to avoid the plain bust
ness proposals of Governor Taft. and
the officials are of the opinion that tbje
new demand will be promptly met by a
satisfactory reply. Should another ef-
fort be made by the Vatican to Drolong
the negotiation It is thought that II
will then be time to deliver a final note
Governor Taft has cabled the Secre-
tary of War Of his intention to leave
Rome not later than July 10, and should
he fail to secure satisfactory settlement
by that date, the negotiations will not
be continued at Rome.

Passes Away at the Home of His Son
in This City.

in This City.
John P. Quigiey, father of Charles
A. Quigley. manager for Sudebaker
Bros. of this city, and a veteran ply
siciap. died at the home of his son
in this city yesterday. Old age and
general debility was the cause of
death. Mr.. Quigley was IS years Of
age.
For a long time past Mr. Quigley
has been in poor health and of late
has been confined to his bed at his

days in that place. In 1881 he moved
TO Dubuque and was one Of the pio-
neer settlers of that place. He stud-
led medicine when young and for many
years was one of the leading prae-
ticing physicians of that place For
a time he also ran a newspaper in
Michigan.
About four years ago he came TO this
city and has resided here with his son
ever since. Mr.. Quigley leaves two
sons TO mourn his loss. Charles A.

SHOP LITTER CAUGHT.
Was Getting Away With Silk Waists
at Big Boston Store.

at Big Boston store.
While at the Big Boston Store last
night, serving attachment papers on
part OF the stock of goods, Chief Dep
uty Sheriff Joe Eldredge made an i'm
portant arrest. in the person Of Rob-
ert Mason, who claims TO live in Den
yer. and that he is a cook by trade.
Instead of being an expert in the Gull
mary line, il Is believed that Mason
is one of the most expert shoplifters
in the country, for in his possession
when arrested were seven new silk
waists. value at $40 to SIS each, and
five new pocketbooks, worth $40 in the
aggregate.
The chief deputys attention was
called TO the man by clerk in the
store, who, pointing 10 telescope grip
setting between the aisles, said that
the owner of it had fallen under sus-
picion, because he had been seen car
rying the grip outside OF the store,
where he placed something in 1t, and
then returned. The deputy watched
the valise. for the owner; and was re-
warded when the latter called for II
AS he stopped TO pick up the valise
the officer noticed that he had some
thing under the back OF his coat, and
with a quick movement reached under
IL and drew out two handsome SILK
waists. When asked what he was 90
ing with them, the man answered that
he was going TO buy them, but the
story did not go, and he was taken 10
the county jail. When his valise was
searched IL was found to contain five
other new silk waists. FIVE leather
pocketbooks and the personal effects
Of the prisoner.
Mason told the officers that he came
10 Salt Lake from Denver, but as his
laundry Is marked as coming from
Pocatello laundry. very little credence
is placed in his story. He admitted
stealing tie two waists found under
his coat but denied that he had stolen
the others.

MoFFAT BONDS SELLING.
Expected to Run Trains One Year
After Work Commences.

In an interview several days ago A.
G. Ridgeway, manager Of the eonstruc-
ton company which will have charge
OF the construction work OF the Mof-
rat road. said that IL was expected
20 have trains running for business in
q year after the work is begun. The
work this winter. he said, will be de-
voted mainly TO rock. He believes that
better results can be obtained in the
mountains In the winter than in the
summer. There are few days when the
men cannot work In the hills. In the
spring the company expects TO be ready
% grade for the steel.
II is expected that the exact route
viii be announced next week after a
conference OF the officials of the road
A temporary line viii be built around
the mountain until the tunnel is COM
pleted. Orders for rail and equipment
viii be placed the first OF the year.
and il is believed orders viii be filed
before the rails are wanted Subscrip-
tiOns are being received for the bonds
OF the MOffat road, and one of these
includes an order for $4,000 worth Of
the securities from a party in Ohio.

The sub-postomce.

That a sub postoffice will soon be es-
tablished at Five Points sooner even
than was supposed couple of weeks
ago when The Herald published an ac-
count of the plan OF the postofiee de-
partment for locating one there, seems
now to be assured beyond a doubt.
Postmaster Davis is in receipt Of in
formation making the fact of such es-
adjustment positive. This improve
ment in the service is due entirely to
the growth Of the Ogden postal busi-
ness in that direction. The postmaster
also received official notice Of the mat
ter contained in The Heralds special
dispatch a few days ago to the effect
that suggestions from citizens on the
location of the public building viii be
received up TO Nov. 20. and the choice
of a site made Immediately thereafter
