debts; but know no one who will give
such a bond. 1 am notified that the
banns must be published certain num-
Der of times before the wedding. What
kind of a country is this, anyhow"
We did the best we could. In an inter
view with the minister of public worship
I was able to secure dispensation from
the publishing of the banns; then bond
was drawn up, which I signed and thus
settled the question regarding possible
debts in Germany AS to the baptismal
certificate, I ordered inscribed, on the
largest possible sheet of official paper,
the gentleman's affidavit that, in the
state of Ohio, where he was born, nc
Taufschein, or baptismal certificate, was
required at the time of his birth, and to
this was affixed with plenty of wax the
largest seal of the legation. The form
of the affidavit may be judged peculiar;
but it was thought best not to startle the
authorities with the admission that the
man had not been baptized at all. They
could easily believe that a. state like
Ohio, which some of them doubtless re-
garded as still in the backwoods and
mainly tenanted by the aborigines, nigh
have omitted, in days gone by, to require
Taufschein; but that an unbaptized
Christian should offer himself to be
married in Germany would perhaps have
so paralyzed their powers of belief that
permission for the marriage might never
have been secured.

OF this latter sort there were in my
time several curious cases. One morn

% One question in this cause Is
whether the acquisition by the Northern
Securities company, in the manner above
stated. of a majority of the capital stock
of both the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific companies, which own and operate
parallel and competing railroads across
the State of Minnesota, and it's ownership
of such stock is violation of the Mime
sofa antitrust law-Laws of Minnesota
1899, CHI. 359-which provides, as above
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1903-08-07
No Law Violated.

However that may be. the Northern
Securities company is but an investing
stakeholder in these two railroad compa
MES, without power to consolidate them
or to interfere with the management or
control of either. Because of its large
holdings of these stocks it may elect the
board of directors of each, who must be
composed of entirely different persons
and control the business and affairs of
it's own corporation and will naturally
seek to increase its business and proper
ty. Neither has any power to control the
other nor to contract with the other in
restraint Of trade. There is no presump-
ton that either will disobey the law or
be guilty of the commission of penal Of
lenses. Should they do these things. then
the antitrust act of Minnesota will be
for the first time violated. and the rail-
road corporations and their offending off,
Gals will be amenable to punishment, and
to appropriate legal or equitable proceed

1.-THE Climbers" begins with a funeral
and ends with a suicide During the
progress of the play one of the characters
Perhaps this is the reason the play is
called The Climbers. Those who care
for human emotions in the altogether
will like The Climbers. It was Robert
Louis Stevenson who said there IS such a
thing as indecent exposure in this line.
Certainly Salt Lake saw II last night, and
what is more. Salt Lake liked it.
The audience was not large above the
first floor There every seat we oceu-
pied, the boxes. stalls and logs being
1iled with socieFy folk And the
Climbers is be keenest satire on society
that has been put ON the Salt Lake stage.
It is doubtful If a keener satire was ever
put on any stage. The nearest approach
found in Richard III where Richard
wooes and wins Lady Anne at the bier OF
her husband.
When the curtain rises servants are
discovered removing the chairs that have
been used at the funeral Of one Mr. Hunt
er. Shortly thereafter the widow, accom-
panied by her daughters, enters and
straightway they begin a discussion of
the funeral, which, It appears, every
body attended. There the society satire
begins and It runs in a. broad vein
throughout the play.
Miss Amelia Bingham was Mrs. Ster-
ling. daughter of Mrs. Hunter and wife
OF Richard Sterling Cyyiiton Lackaye.) She
gave an example of emotional acting that
had the audience leaning forward most of
the Llllc she Was on TIC Sldi51s anu SAN Llt5
her curtain calls without number at the
end of every act. But Miss Bingham did
not win all the hcnors, nor did she de-
serve all o. them.
From Mr.. Lackaye down to the think
ers," one of whom in the second act had
the honor to be her husband, Lloyd Bing-
ham, the cast was all that could have
been desired Lackaye made you hate
him from his first appearance He looked
the weak, selfish rascal and acted the
weak, selfish rascal throughout. In his
death he was pathetic, but the audience
could not forget his sins and he passed
away without being inundated by a wave
of sympathy.
Credit is due to Miss Bijou Fernandez
for her Interpretation of the role of Miss

part of Frederick. Mason, was thoroughly
acceptable.

Mrs. Brown was born in Pittsburg,
Dec. 81, 1889. In 1872 she was married
to General Joseph A. Brown. The
honeymoon was spent in GAIT Lake
and the couple then moved to Mon

Melrose- In the early days when there
was no railroad between Salt Lake
and Helena, General Brown and Count
Creighton Of Omaha owned the toll
bridge at Browns station. It was
over this bridge that Brigham Young
