a Mnch-Abused Citizen

Mr.. Alphonse Castor Weber called
al The Herald Office the night before
last and gave three reasOns-al in the
nature Of grievances-for his visit. In
the first place, said Mr.. Weber, in
broken tones, he wished 20 serve no.
tice on all the newspapers that he pro-
posed shortly TO file a suit against
them for personal injury done him
through the act of a thoughtless re
porter some seasons back. This re-
porter. Mr.. Weber explained, had
conferred upon him the title of Duck
foot" an undignifed cOgnomen that
caused Mr.. Weber much humiliation
during about twenty-nine days of each
month. Another suit, Mr.. Weber
stated, would shortly be filed against
the directory publishers for printing
on page 955 Of the current issue, con-
spicuously at the top Of the right hand
column of said page, the following:
Weber Duckfoot rms 100 T. First
South"
ply sCdndalOus. BY this means the
false and malicious name "DuckfOOt."
is given wide publicity. Nor is this
all that Mr. Weber has against the
directory publishers. No. 12O East
First South. where the directory al
leges Mr.. Weber rooms. is the Salt
Lake City Jail AR. Weber sets out
that he spends several hours every
thirty-one days outside the city Jail
and should not by any means be held
ont 20 public scOrn. contumely and
ridicule as a steady roomer at the city
jail. tt is, he explains, a WOlhsh at
tack and gives him a terrible pain.
Mr. Webber's third complaint was
against the present management Of the
city Jail. Comparing the city Jail ed
ministratiOu TO the Turks i'm Macedonia,
. r- q
runaway automobile to a horse hitched
20 a post. Alongside Of the Salt Lake
CITY jailer. Mr.. Weber continued. Cap
tain Kidd looms up as a paragon OF
virtue and a mild-mannered gentleman,
/ kind, tsOughtful. generous, noble and
true. In the jail recently, Mr.. Weber
says he undertook to reproduce for
the benefit of a party Of gentlemen who
dropped in. COmanche war dance ne
/ had Witnessed some years since. In
| the course of the dance Mr.. Weber
/ broke thirteen chairs. one table. a
water pitcher. crippled eight police
men and WrenChed q cell door off, and
for this little manifestation Of good
/ fellowship and a desire to please the
company he was thrown into a dark
some dungeon and provided with a diet
/ restricted to bread and water for a
period extending through eight con-
/ secutive days. This brutal treatment.
Mr.. Weber says. has substantially
wrecked his career. His condition bore
out the assertion. In fact Mr. Weber
| had al the outward signs Of a craft
I that had been wrecked about the time
/ of the Renaissance and had been q
I derelict ever since. Mr.. Weber eX-
! pressed a willingness to fight all mem
| bers Of The Herald stan and voiced a
/ confidence in his ability to successfully
consummate what he undertook to do.
/ The college\boy grasped Mr.. Webber's
arm at this juncture and dropped the
guest out Of the window TO the pave
ment. which brought the visit to a
/ pleasant termination.

been incarcerated has been finally done
away with. The wonder is that the
city was not made defendant IN a series
OF damage suits as a result Of that old
jail.
Reeking with filth and swarming
with vermin it was an eyesore and a
disgrace 10 the city. For something
like three years or more the question of
a new jail has been agitated, Before
the council which goes out Of Office next
January was elected a large lot Of city
property was sold with the express un-
fderstanding that the proceeds were to
De used in the erection Of a new jail
The money was not so used. At LEAST
all OF Il was not. Instead it was turned
into the general fund for current exc
penses.
Then other property was disposed Of
and at last work on the new jail was
begun. Il has dragged along for an
unconscionable number of months. The
date o. completion was postponed again
and again until, when the structure was
turned over. weeks more than the con-
tract time had expired The contrac-
/ tors say the completion Of the jail was
Impossible because they could rot get
| their steel The council has been eX-
tremely liberal with them on this ac-
count. only part of the penalty pre-
lscribed for the delay has been exacted.
As to the justice Of the action, and
when we say justice we mean justice to
/ the taxpayers as well as to the con-
tractors we are not prepared to say
/ The city has not been damaged In any
important particular by the failure to
deliver the Jail within the specified
I time. but it is not good practice to be
overly indugent with contractors. II
such a course is pursued the men who
do the citys work win shortly get into
I the habit of taking their own time
about finishing their contracts. If it is
worth while TO put penalty clause into
/ a contract at an &c is worth while 10
[ enforce it for the penalty clause is as
much a part Of the paper as the ton
/ tract price.
/ However, let ms rejoice in the compile
/ tion of the Jail. Personally, we hope
Wen be able to stay out of it. and we
4 hope all good citizens viii never do any
| thing to warrant a protraCted stay
/ there. but those who do become entan-
gled with the law are at least entitled
3 TO a decent babitation, and this they

PRACTICAL JOURNALISM.

~ a BOOK which ne calls Practical
4 Journalism" recently issued by
eastern publishers. z. l.. Shuman tells
good deal about the making OF a
newspaper. AS illustrative of the Prog
ress made I'm the newspaper business
since the nation was new Jr. Shuman
tells of the Declaration Of Inoepend-
ence. The document was passed by
congress at Philadelphia July 4, but
was not published i'm any Philadelphia
newspaper until July IS. and no BOs-
ton paper had il until July p.
1t is needless TO say that if action
anything like so important should be
taken by congress today every news
paper Of prominence in the United
states would print a synopsis of it
within a very few hours in extras and
the full text in the regular editions.
More. newspaper all over the world
would publish it within twenty-fOur
hours at most. OF course the telegraph
and cable systems are responsible for
this fact. but the methods Of gathering
news and of playing" IT, to use
newspaper term, have been very much
improved since the old days.
In his book Mr.. Shuman pays a hand
some tribute to the American press in
general. OF it he says. in his closing
summary:
1T has the vivacity Of the French
journals, without their proneness to
financial corruption. 1t has as full
command OF official news as the Ger
man papers. without being the tool Of
governmental manipulators. To a large
degree Il has the dignity and solid
worth OF the British journals, without
their ponderosity. It's faults are those
Of lusty and honest youth. Its future
is unquesuonahly one Of unsurpassed
power and prosperity"
But Mr.. Shuman's book Is not de-
voted entirely to paying compliments
/ to the newspapers. however thoroughly
: the compliments arc deserved. He pre-
sents an array of facts and figures that
place the newspaper industry we'll to
/ the fore i'm the list OF great American
industries For instance. 100000 peo-
pie. I'm rouzd numbers. derive their liv-
ing directly from the newspapers.
Every year the newspaper proprietors

I hard work to penetrate the thick
seams about the arm holes, and the
sleeves should be removed before the
dyeing is done. If the goods are dyed
in breadths, the workman is able to
give to these the manufacturers fin
ish, and the stuff Will come out look
ing as good as new. But there are
still many things that can be dyed
unripped.
All-WOol Goods Best for Dying.
All wool is the best goods for dye
ing. Silk is seldom entirely satisfac-
tory, although it need not have the
cracking surface usually associated
with dyed silk. 1t can be given the
dull finish. if this is desired. But 1t
is rarely satisfactory, except to use
as Innings. Ribbons, also, while they
clean admirably, do not dye we'll. AZ
ter going through the process they
are only good for facings and the
like.
Cotton goods are so hard to dye
well that many housese refuse to I'M
dertake them. They are always Likely
to dye in streaks and do not hold the
color so we'll as other fabrics. Yet
] have known of persons who had
cotton hangings dipped more than
once with excellent results. 1t is all
ways something of a lottery, how
ever.
In colors there is a great variety of
choice in dyeing. General opinion to
the contrary Notwithstanding, there is
no reason why a dyed fabric should
crack or fade. All colored stuffs were
dyed once, and the care given to re-
dyelng is no less than that bestowed
upon the work in the first instance.
some tints, of course, stay better than
olhers, and some colors of goods can
not De made to take certain tints. For
example, light colored fiannels will
not dye blue, because of some cheni-
cal used ins their manufacture. Vel
veteens and corduroys are not always
satisfactory, although a really good
quality of silk velvet will dye very
well. There are dark shades, like deep
green or blue or crimson, that almost
any material will take.
Even Carpet May BE Dyed.
clothing dyed, however, must not fall
into the delusion that any old thing,
no matter what it's condition, can be-
dyed any color. If it is faded in
streaks, the streaks will show after it
comes out of the vat, unless the dye
is black. This hue, like charity, COW
ers multitude of sins, and there Is
practically no wooden fabric that cam
not be made a good black. The goods
must be cleaned first, as a matter of
course, for the spots that are in it be-
fore it is dipped will show after
wards.
1t may be news to some persons
that carpets will dye, but they will
take certain colors, notably crimson
and dark green or blue, remarkably
we'll They must always be ripped
before dyeing, or the stretched places
in the seams will show afterwards.

at least, and, fancy, in most others.
But that art has made such strides in
the past few years that it has become
an entirely different matter from what
it was a quarter of a century back.
There are still certain restrictions
upon dyeing-more than there are upon
cleaning-but even these may vanish
with time.
For instance, once it was impossible
to have a garment dyed without hav-
ing it shrunk as we'll. The present
habit of sponging wool goods before
