The Atlanta Constitution sums up the
woes OF country editor in the following
memoranda

rock thrown by unknown party.
Tuesday-Mayor threatened to horse

he called.
ednesday-Received 81 on subscrip-
ton and paid out So on a grocery bill
Thursdav-We have been officially in
formed that there is some chance of our
being appointed Postmaster before the
next president is elected.
But that is only for four days. The
conclusion of this DER true tale OF woe
runs something like this:
Friday-The paper is out and we have
muzzled the telephone and left the
office in charge of the devil.
Saturday-The pay roll is still incom-
plete and the printers are laying for us.
There seems to be no escape.
Sunday-Went to church and snubbed
the contribution box for obvious rea-
sons, but had the same sanctimonious
expression on our countenance as did
our neighbor.

would paint this town most gorgeous

..'.-: ADJUSTMENTS ''''||

1t has been said that the regular thea
tire patrons are not those who make the
fortunes of theatrical performers. They
constitute clientele, whose critical
opinion is valuable, and who decide the
fate of many an attraction. But the
productions which win extraordinary
financial returns are those which appeal
to the people who attend the theater on
ly once in a while, when they are sure
that the play and the performers will
appeal to their taste. 1t is before such
audiences that Charles b. Hanford has
had the good fortune to appear. People
who are weary of the gauzy frivolities of
the time, or who perchance, disapprove
of them on principle go to see Hanford
with absolute confidence that what he
offers will have substantial merit as well
as the qualities which amuse. Mr.. Han
ford never forgets that the public de-
mands diversion at the play house. He
supplies that by selecting the best ma
terial that playwriting has ever pro-
duced and interpreting it in a modern
and sympathetic spirit which makes the
humor irresistible. If there is any lin
gering suspicion in the minds OF YOUTH
full students to the effect that Shakes
peare is uninterestin- Mr.. Hanford's
performance NAV be relied on to dispel
it. Mr.. Hanford will be at Larsen's

Simultaneous success led to more ambi-
tious efforts and soon the inimitable
comedians were branching out into farce
comedy, where they became even more
popular with the fun loving public. Then
Murray and Mack got together a COM
pany OF their own and started out as
stars. Since then no comedians have
appeared in the dramatic armament
who could dim the lustre of these ire
sistible delineators OF Irish comedy. The
first year that Murray and Mack had
out "Finnigan's Ball" they cleared up
over S15, 600; last year with the same
piece they made almost double that
amount, having two companies on the
road at the same time, while this season,
thus far, has been the best these clever
actor-managers have yet enjoyed. With
"A Ni-ht on Broadway" they have been
meeting with the greatest success. MUIR
ray and Mack have this season the larry
est company they have ever carried,
which numbers fifty people. Lots Of

feel the same way about this coal
business. We are so thankful over get
ting the price back to the old rate OF
S. per ton that we can almost make
ourselves believe our coal only costs
US a trihe, after all. This is like the
iran who plays the great American
game Of draw poker and finds himself,

Seriously, the reduction in the price
Of coal. announced yesterday, was the
best piece Of news the Salt Lake pub
lie has had since. to use an Irish
ism, word came that the price of coal
was to be advanced from IS to S5.75
per ton. The Herald has not changed
its belief that s. per ton is entirely
too much money for Salt Lake people
to pay Tor coal With great coal fields
almost at their doors, with ample trans
pOrtation facilities, with every con-
venience for mining and marketing the
product, IS per ton is an exorbitant
price
We have no desire to blame the re-
tailers in this matter. They are not
IN the coal business from motives Of
pure philanthropy they are in it to
make money. And they do make mon
ey. If they didn't they would get out
Of the business. as sane men usually
do get out Of a business that doesn't
pay. 1t is right and proper that the
dealers should have a margin of profit.
That much is conceded to every BUSH
ness man, even to proprietors of drug
stores. In the opinion Of The Herald
the blame for the cost of coal in salt
Lake is properly chargeable to the
railroad companies.
Having the people at their mercy,
they do not hesitate to take advantage
Of the fact. A coal tariff that is out
rageous is charged, a tariff that
would not be possible IL a case against
the companies could be presented to
a railroad commission that had the
power to enforce its DEGREES. That
the companies themselves know their
charges are exorbitant is evidenced by
the fact that they have so promptly
made it possible to secure a restora-
ton Of prices existing before the re-
cent increase. The railroads evidently
did not care to have their coal business
gone into too thoroughly.
A well known dealer estimates that
Salt Lake consumes 200, 900 tons Of coal.
roundly, I'm a year. 1t viii be seen
that, figuring on this basis, the tidy
sum Of S15O.OOO a year has been saved
to the people-an amount which all of
us win agree is well worth saving.

AM INTEREsTINe DEclsloM.

A PHILADELPHIA COURT has Just
n handed down a decision which is
of more than ordinary interest in the
case OF Ehrhart Samnler against the
city OF Philadelphia Sammler's wife
and son contracted typhoid fever as a
result. so he claimed. Of inhaIng n0x-
ious fumes and gases arising from
refuse matter that neishboFs had
dumped IN their yards after the city
had raised the street grade. The city
was held responsible because Of its fall
1re to remove the garbage.
The court went exhaustively into the
case. Witnesses on both sides in con-
siderable numbers were examined, but
the final decision was against the plain
tiff. This on the ground that the weight
Of the testimony went to show that
typhoid cannot be contracted through
the breathing Of impure air, The germ
must be taken into the system through
some article Of food or drink, accord
ing to the most eminent experts who
testified.
While the theory that typhoid fever
IS not a filth disease has long been SEN
orally accepted by the best medical
practitioners, we believe. in the absence
Of Information to the contrary. that this
is the first court decision on the sub
ject. Nor has a court OF final turisdic-
ton passed on the matter as yet. the
decision referred to having been handed
down by a division of the Philadelphia
court Of common pleas, which CORE
spends TO a division Of one Of our dis
trict courts. 1t is to be hoped that the
plaintiff win take an appeal. for an
opinion from the highest Pennsylvania
court would attract wide attention and
could be cited as a precedent
Tt should not be taken for granted
though. and only the unthlnking viii
take it for granted, that because flth
does not cause typhoid fever no other
disease is caused by it. And dlth does
indirectly cause typhoid, too, For iu-
stance, it is easy for flies to transmit
typhoid germs from Pile OF ilth to
food. water and other substances that
are taken into the human system. 1t is
not productive Of typhoid except in the
sense that the breathing Of it's fumes
cannot cause an outbreak Of the dis
ease.
And while we are on the subject Of
filth and disease IT is well to suggest
that the health department insist on a
thorough cleaning up OF all premises
before the advent Of real winter. We
might just as well start in with a clean
slate for, under the most favorable
circumstances. there is going to be
enough to do in the cIeaning-up line
next spring.
