Questions of Importance.

Eleven of the fifteen directors of the
Manufacturers & Merchants association,
at meeting last evening, passed re-
solution pledging the support of that or
ganlzation TO aid the authorities to put
down the laWlessness that now seems to
be running rampant IN this city. In part,
the resolution reads:
we earnestly recommend the imme-
diate employment of sufficient special
nifty of the undesirable, vicious and Grim
city, defying it's laws and trailing its
good name in the mire of criticism"
Resolutions We're also passed protest
ing against the parcel post bill pending
IN congress, as it will mitigate against
the retail merchants of the intermountain
country region in favor of the great de-
partment stores of the east. Other pro-
posed legislation, notably the Philippine
tariff and the tax on teas and cOffees,
We're discussed.
The question of making breakfast foods

PLEADING FOR PATRICK.
Prominent New York Citizens Ask
Executive CIemency.

Albany, Dec. Ex-Governor Higgins an
nounced tonight he had received a let
ter from DR.. McLane Hamilton of New
York City, in which the we'll known
alienist asked for executive clemency for
Albert T. Patrick, the New York lawyer
now in Sing Sing awaiting execution
for the alleged murder of William Marsh
Rice
THE grounds on which DR.. Hamilton
has asked me to interfere" said Gov
ernOr Higgins, ARE. first, that he be-
lieves there is no proper evidence that
Mr.. Rice's death came from unnatural
causes, and, secondly. that no confidence
should be placed in the testimony of
Jones, the valet, on account of his con-
flictlng stories"
Governor Higgins said he had received
other letters from other people through
out the state who were interesting them
selves in Patrick's behalf. One OF these
letters was from former Judge John Il.
Dillon of New York who took the same
grounds as DR.. Hamilton. No execu-
tive action has as yet been taken re-
garding the letters.

GREENEST OF GREEN.
Dick Egan Tells of Greatest Busher
of Them All.

Dick Egan, the former Salt Lake short
stop, tells a funny story on a hoosIer
who blew into the ball grounds one day
and asked Manager Nichols of the Peoria
club for a chance to show what he could
do,
From his appearance" said Egan
the stranger looked as though he had
been sojOurning in the tall pines for
many moons, but Manager Nichols, being
short on Outfielders. decided TO let him
have a Whirl at playing in right field
After we had tossed the ball around for
few minutes the gong rang for the first
practice and Nichols turned to the Rube
ana said; You go out in right field -
Wen. would you believe 1t, that hayseed
was 50 green that he didn't even know
where right field was located After
being told 10 meander out to right field
he stood for a moment scratching his
head and then blurted out, Tell YOU the
truth, MIR. Nichols. 1 am not familiar
with these grounds. Which is right
field?
1T is needless to say that this busher's
soJourn in fast company was short and

MAKING WELklN RING
Leaders of the Great Political Parties
in England Nightly Harangue
the Voters.

London. Dec. 29.-Sir Henry Camp
bell Zimmerman, the premier, and
Arthur ]. Balfour, the former pre-
rlier. respective leaders Of the two
great parties now drawn up in battle
array in the United Kingdom, ad-
dressed large audiences tonight.
The premier spoke at Dunfermline,
Scotland. making fiscal reform his
battle-cry. In answering a question
he said he did not favor separate
Independent measure for Ireland, put
iptimated that that country should
have legislature subordinate TO the
imperial parliament
Mr.. Balfour, talking to SYM
pathetic audience at Queens hall,
London, asked 'Will you have fiscal
reform or home rule, for this is the
true issue of the campaign
VIII Fight Protection.
Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman
said that the Liberals would fight
protection and fiscal reform during
the campaign as they did while in OPP
position, while the former premier
said that fiscal reforms would be the
first great question with which the
Unionist party would have to deal
whenever IL was TGLuTlCO 10 pOMNl
because it was a question in which
the welfare of the country was bound
10
Mr.. Balfour plainly indicated that
the whole attack of Unionists
throughout the present campaign
would be centeTed on the assumed in
tention of the Liberal party to give
| Ireland control Of it's own affairs
through an executive directly respon-
sible to an Irish elective body. This,
Mr.. Balfour believed, would inevita-
bly, lead to a separation, which he ad-
mitted would be preferable to the con-
tinued parliamentary turmoil conse-
duent on half way measures.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerlnan de-
voted almost his entire speech to an
attack on the fiscal propositions of
the Unionists, and said 1t was the
duty OF the Liberals to bury any
party supporting Joseph Chamberlain.
Sir Edward Grey, the foreign secre-
tary, speaking to his constituents at
Bedford, Northumberland, today, said
that the carrying out Of Mr.. Cham
berlain's policy would mean the ruin
OF the national prosperity. He as
sured his audience that the Liberals
had no intention of granting home
rule, but that they hoped to do much
for Ireland.

FAVORTTE NUMBERS.
Some People Have Habit of Repeat
ing Numerals to Themselves.

Most people have favorite numbers
| says the Chicago Chronicle. One man
who does much travelling likes 5 above
| all others. Every time his train stops
/ at a station he looks out eagerly 10 see
/ if there is a freight car or two about
| bearing a number with the digit in it.
| If the 3 happens to be the last figure
/ in the number he is particularly pleas
ed and should the number be made UP
entirely Of fives his happiness lasts for
/ days at a time. Whenever he sees one
| OF his favorite numbers out of the win
dow he timidly closes his eyes for fear
| that the next number will contain no
| f1ves.
Another man who has a chronic case
of numeral fever is distressed for blocks
after he sees a No. 13 or a number the
sum of whose digits is 13. The pain of
40, 81, So, 139, 148, 157, 166, IT'S is just as
great as that Of plain Is, and, going by
familiar houses on the street cars, he
learns not to look up at them If they
bear figures that bring gloomy 13 into
his mind.
This mathematician is as eager to
find certain kinds Of figures as he is
anxious to avoid certain others. Any
number the sum Of whose digits can be
evenly divided by the number of those
For instance, 345 VIII send a thrill Of
delight through the amateur mathe-
matician. The sum Of the digits is u,
and that, divided by the number of
digits, 8, leaves the even number, T.
OF course, the larger the number the
less chance there is for success in the
little game, and, therefore, the serious
minded man who plays it avoids so
far as possible long streets where there
are many digits If he must travel
along such a route he takes a look at
several numbers out of the corner of
his eys, and after he has found one
that satisfies the test he follows the
custom of the Out-Of-toWn freight car
enumerator and tries ~ best to see no
more numbers of any kind for the rest
of his journey.
Another citizen is compelled to keep
track Of the steps he takes in crossing
streets from curb to curb. His chief
object is TO cover the intervening dis
lance in 1. 3, 8, Is or any other number
of steps that is based on the principle
underlying all these. In his youth ne
learned to count things In fOurs, using
these words instead Of numbers in the
process: silk. satin, calico, rags" and
repeating them, if necessary. over and

ing run over by q street car or an auto

Now and then, when he is in a great
hurry or is walking with some digni-
fed friend, he is obliged to reach

tense today in the suit of Mrs. Mary, or
Media, Leafgreen, who claims to have

Laclede ]. Howard and the condition of
his hair. whether he was bald, and. if
so, at what age.
Mrs. Virginia LuptOn, sister of Laclede
J. Howard. created much amusement
when she said in her testimony:
II know positively that my brother was
bald in 1881, for 1 distinctly remember
having rubbed his head TO make the
hair grow"
The Witnesses for the defense in most
part were relatives of Laclede J. How
ard and employees of the EVans-HOWard
Pressed Brick company.
Horace II. Baldwin, witness for the
plaintiff. testified that he was ticket
agent for the Wabash at Palmer, Ill, in
1881; that he knew Charles Howard the
man who married Media Moore, now
Mrs. Leafgreen; that he was present
when the deposition of Charles Miller,
the TumWater mayor was taken in Olym-
pia, Wash. He testified that the Turn
