REGRETTED.
The Silver State was obliged to miss
an issue last night, owing to another
breakdown. If there is anything that
will drive a man crazy 1t Is when things
go crooked in a print shop. The life OF
an editor of a country sheet is not very
pleasant when everything is running |
smoothly. but when he has a bad break |
down piled onto his other troubles, 1t Is
piing up more trouble than justly be- |
longs to him. The breakdown has been |
repaired and everything is seemingly |
down to Its usual bearings in the Office |
but God only knows when the next ac-
cident may occur.

WILL SHOOT AGAIN
FOR THE GOLD MEDAL

The gold medal belonging to the Lar
annie Rod and Gun club will be contest
ed for next Sunday. 1t is now held by
Bert Holiday, former city clerk, who,
in the language of one of the members,
is shooting to kill these days" and
it is dollars to doughnuts the man who
gets the medal from him will have tn
have his shooting eye. If the medal
be won three times in succession by
the same marksman it becomes hia
property. 1t has been won twice in
succession by several members OF the
club. Last year Jack" Costin turned
the trick and had begun to figure on
having his name engraved on the
medal, but when he went to win it the
third time he broke only IA out of 20
clay pigeons n gave up the trophy
to Dick Spalding. If Mr.. Holiday
keeps up his record at the last shoot
the medal will come very nearly fitting
the lapel of his best coat for all time.

MADE TOUR OF
THESINH HOLES
GRADUATE OF UNIVERSITY OF
WYOMING GREATLY ASTON
isHEs CONGREGATION
Rev. Benjamin Young Of First Meth
odist Church Of Salt Lake Dis
guises Himself and Visits Gam
bling Rooms and Then Tells Of
Visit From His Pulpit.

Rev. Benjamin Young of the First
Methodist church at Salt Lake, a grad
uate of the University of Wyoming
and a former resident of this city, dis
guised and accompanied by a disguised
companion, made a our of Salt Lakes
gambling houses last week. And Rev.
MIR. Young took the breath from his
congregation by announcing this fact
from the pulpit Sunday. He said he
Witnessed scenes that made him heart
sick.
Wanted, a Man." was the title OF
the sermon delivered by Mr.. Young.
1t was probably the most sensational
pulpit discourse ever preached in Salt
Lake City. according to the Salt Lake
Tribune. The story of the clergyman's
trip %incognito made 1t SO. 1t isn't ev-
cry day that men walk the streets dis
guised. And it is still less often that
men of the cloth do this. When they
take their walk on Commercial street
and enter gambling halls the thing in
.creases in spiciness.
Now, the point to Rev. Mr.. Young's
sermon was this: He said he had I'M
derstood the law against gambling
was being enforced in this city. He
found out 1t wasn't. In one hour, he
said, he counted more than 500 men
before the green cloth. And, what
sounded more pointed to his hearers,
he said that he stands ready at any
time to give information as TO what he
saw to the chief Of police.
Rev. Mr.. Young went on to say that
he proposes to see that the law is en-.
forced. He didn't take this little walk
for the one purpose Of delivering one
sermon. He expects, Furthermore, to
give the public facts from time to time
to prove that the laws are broken with
the connivance of those who should
enforce them.
Now Is the time to strike at this
thing" said he. Every s~elf-respecting
citizen should use his power to kill
these present evils" Some Of these
he went on to enumerate in his SER
mon. He told among other things OF
profanity on the streets.

balance, to form an exhibit at the
Lewis and Clark Centennial exposi-
ton at Portland this year, and the sug-
g~estion met with the hearty approval

FOR MOTHERS SAKE" AT
NEW GRAND TONIGHT.

For Mothers Sake is a play pos
sessing all those attributes which go
to make up a successful drama. Love,
interest, stirring situations, good com
edy, clever in character portraiture,
and there are touches of genuine ma
ture in the relations of the principal
personages that gives a sweet charm
to Carrie Ashley-C larke's rural drama.
There is also great opportunities for
novel scenic effects, which the man
agement has staged regardless of ex
rpense, every act being carried com
plete. Marie Heath has been engaged
for the role of 10 Pemberton, a part
particularly adapted to the little lady's
caliber. Miss Heath's acting abounds
in light feminine touches and is de
void OF the rough, heavy, stilted mas
culine character see in SO many &C
tresses. The charm of her impersona-
tions Is in her grace, and the rapidity
with which she changes her moods,
and her unaffected naturalness. She
is a petite little body. as full of charm
ing grace and life as possible. With
usual self.denial and modesty Miss
Heath has refrained from appearing
in that class of plays known as one
part plays, and although a general ia
vorite and acknowledged artist, has
divided the honors with the excellent
with which she has been
surrounded by Messrs. russo & Hol-
land.
This excellent attraction will be seen
the New Grand this evening.

A BANANA PLANTATION.

/ novelty as an elephant would be in
Lapland. The 10000, 900 punches of the
fellow fruit which now are pouring
INTO this country every year were not
be found at that time even in the
Vest Indies and Central America, where
| shrewd Yankee trader discovered the
Succulent fruit. Such bananas as New
York did see were from Florida
Ten million punches seems big lot,
and when we remember that generally
there are over 100 bananas in a bunch,
we find we have something like 100
times 100000 of single bananas COM
ing yearly to our markets. No wonder
the American apple protests, that So
cieties. are formed for the restoration
to favor of this product of snowy hill
tides.
Conditions surrounding the culture
Of the banana are strictly of the trop-
ical order, and a banana plantation,
with it's wide-spreading leaves, grow
Ing palm-like, presents tropical pic
ture of beauty and luXuriance. Not a
few jewellers in the tropics and SUBJ
tropics plant near their bungalows
groups of the most beautiful of the ba-
mana trees, desiring to have them close
to their verandas, to impress the ap-
preaching visitor with a picture of
unique attractiveness. The life of these
trees is only of Is months duration, but
when they die others can be ready to
take their places.
A banana tree grows from Is to 20
feet high. Its trunk is green and sappy,
its leaves great, dropping banners at
the top. The latter are of lovely, soft
green color, of soft, thick texture. The
fruit, as all know in these days of many
pictures, of much travel, does not grow
here and there about the trees, but is
grouped in a compact, orderly manner
along stout stick of stem of much
thickness and strength. The bud, a
tight-folded, purplish affair of several
inches in length, protrudes from this
stem, fruit and blossom both to be seen
as the fruit approaches maturity.
In lands where the banana grows, the
fruit, as rule, believe, is not allowed
to ripen on the tree, as is the popular
belief. know in Hawaii the punches
were picked while still green and hung
on the veranda to ripen. This may
have been done because of those little
thieves, the mynah birds, but i know
1t was the custom and can bear witness
the fruit was delicious.
On the plantation where l made an
extended Stav there were ID different
kinds of bananas; the kind usually best
known in the United States was looked
upon there with no great favor, spoken
of as the Chinese banana-perhaps be-
cause it was the one variety the poor
celestials could afford. A delicious and
rare banana was the apple banana, a
small, light yellow fruit with the flavor
and fragrance of an apple. The cook
Ing banana was a substantial fruit with
