break down the door and bear the

pallor deepen on the old keepers face,
rest easy, Matthew, an have faith
in the council"
Having finished his discourse, he
turned his horse about.
"One moment stay thee" the jailer
cried eagerly, laying a detaining hand
on the horses name. can should this
knight find means of escape through
the forest and ride back to save his
lady, this old prison would offer but
poor resistance"
with so much dispatch will the
council seal the woman's fate" Josiah
answered sternly, that unless La Fa-
bienne hath eagles wings wherewith
to speed him on his travels he will ar
rive too late. Fare thee well, Mat
thew"
He started to ride away, then, pulling
rein. suddenly brought his animal to a
standstlll.
"I Almost forgot to tell thee" he call
ed over his shoulder, that the council
hath under advisement the matter of
sending some other to remain with thee
until the day that thy prisoner hath
been freed or her doom sealed. God be
with thee, Matthew"
Putting spurs to his horse, he rode
away. and the keeper, calling his dog,
turned the great key In the lock and
entered the Jail.
The next morning, despite the fact
that a heavy mist hung over the noun
tain and a drizzling rain was falling,
the quiet village Of Cragenstone pre-
sented a scene OF unusual activity,
From the various houses people were
and at the Sign of the Red Heart stern
faced Puritans from far distances were
arriving constantly, for the story of
Margaret's arrest had been passed
from mouth TO mouth over the noun
tain, and In those credulous, supersti-
tious times such a sensational event
as the trial of a witch was the signal
for a general holiday. Shepherds left
their focks, housewives their spinning
wheels, the husbandman laid down his
plow, and, donning their best attire,
they walked or rode to the scene of In
terest. So all the morning along the
roadwnys and before the various shops
In the village groups OF newcomers ad-
vanced or stood listening with mouths
agnpe to the startling and fearful tales
told them by the townspeople OF 'the
accurst woman'a doings" and the suf-
fering she had caused those that had
come under her evil spell.
Precisely at the hour OF noon, as the
rusty Iron bell at the prison changed
out the tidings that the time Of Marga-
rots trial had arrived, the chief coun-
cIlor and council, accompanied by two
judges from Sterndorf renowned on the
mountain for their knowledge OF the
law, made their way through the great
conc0urse Of people gathered before the
Jail Trembling with excitement, old
Matthew threw open the door, and
they entered, walking slowly to the
council chamber. followed at q respect
full distance by The assembled people,
who took seats quietly on the rough
wooden bonches prepared for them.
When all were seated and the clang-
Ing Of the bell had ceased, the chief
councillor rose and called loudly the
name OF Matthew Allen.
Immediately the Jaller appeared ut

from Sterndorf, who, after surveying
Marsarets youth and beauty with as
tonishment, turned to Josiah, saying
softly:

possessed of wondrous beauty and
looks not like one that had sold her
soul to the devil"
Josiah's grim face darkened

one Of the first tricks she doth use to
put folk under her SPELL 'Tis wen I

The man turned about with fright
ened expression and, fixing his glance
on the audience, kept it there.
Soon the chief councillor, in large
curled wig and loose gown Of black,
rose to his feet.
Margaret Maryland, rise"
The prisoner, without lifting her
eyes, obeyed his command.
Margaret Mayland," he continued,
speaking with stern distinctness, Gin

taken into custody and now brought to
trial ON the following charges: Con-
nivance with Satan In rebellion against
God, possessing a malevolent influence
over human beings and supernatural
powers to injure them, to read their
thoughts, to fascinate and harm by a
look, to control the elements and in
other ways most wicked to practice
the awful crimes of magic, black art
and witchcraft Thine accusers state"
he continued, that already thou hast
wrought much suffering to thy neigh
bors in this village. Woman, hath
aught to say in thy defense?"
For the first time Margaret lifted
her eyes. Good sir, OF the charges
thou dost name l am not guilty." she
answered gently.
Hast thou secured any one to mr.
que in thy defense, to plead for thee"
he demanded.
NAY, sir"
Her head fell forward, and she
clasped her hands together tightly.
I'll have no friends hereabout,
save one old woman, who can do
naught but cry for me-"
Thou mayst be seated"
A murmur Of deep interest ran
through the assemblage as the old
councillor said: "Councllmen, we will
proceed with the trial. Let the first
witness be called"
He resumed his seat with solemn
dignity, while the court crier, bris-
tling with Importance, rose at once,

We understand of course, that the
old world will always draw to itself
many thousands of our people because
of it's historical and religious interest,
it's scientific artistic and musical adj
vantages and we admit that this is
proper and desirable; but we do be-
lieve that America and particularly
the western portion thereof, is entitled
from all the standpoints of interest to
more attention from a certain class
of Americans than it has heretofore
received.
AS conditions now exist many of our
people are heard raving over the beau
ty OF the Trossachs, the glory of the
Rhine, the magnificence of the Alps,
who have never seen and have but
small conception of the grandeur of
the Rocky Mountains or the splendor
of the Columbia River.
In an effort to rectify the conditions
of which complaint is here made the
Commercial Club of Salt Lake City,
has undertaken the work of awakening
interest in this subject among the bust
ness men of the western part of the
United States and of the Republic of
Mexico.
Arrangements are now being perfect
ed for a conference of the Governors
of the states and territories affected,
together with representatives of the
chief commercial organizations of the
west and of the railroads operating in
the interested section, at which the
Commercial Club will present for con-
sideration a detailed definite and
comprehensive plan of procedure. This
conference has been called for Janu-
airy IS, 1906.
The particular object of this COM
munication is to solicit the aid of your
papers in making the movement a sue
cess. 1t is earnestly hoped that, in
view of the great interests involved
and the far-reaching character of the
proposed exploitation of western re-
sources and attractions, you will find
it consistent with the policy of your
paper to lend us your help.
We have the honor to remain
Very sincerely,

"QUO VADIS," THE
BOOK AND THE PLAY
A MARVELLOUS STORY TOLD IN
DRAMATIC ART BY COMPETENT
PLAYERS.

Quo Vadis" was again presented in
most satisfactory manner at the Or
pheum, last night. The same excel
lence of staging and costuming that
created such favorable comment on the
opening night was in evidence again,
while the experience gained in the man
agement of some of the extremely Ella
borate scenery on the first night, was
evidenced by the somewhat smoother
handling of the stage devices last
night.
The play is dramatization OF
| Scienkawicz' great novel which deals
with the Christianity and the Rome of
the time of Nero. 1t has been one
of the criticisms leveled at Scienkawicz
that he adopts the conventional view
of Nero, making of him a monster of
bestiality, instead of a man of keen
intellect and reforming spirit, as some
modern writer's have claimed him to
be. But however that may be, the OBJ
| ject of the book and of the play is to
| picture the conditions of the early
Christians rather than to enter into an
inquiry into the real character of Nero,
and for that purpose the conventional,
and one may say, the accepted view
of Nero is probably the best.
This is the object and it is carried
out with master hand as all who have
read the book must know. In the
dramatization, the purpose of the book
has been carried out faithfully, though
of course in the language of a sister
art, drama, instead of literature.
1t is therefore to be expected that
those familiar with the book will be in
crested in noting what things have
been left out in the play as of necessity
all the things told in the long story
as it is written, can not be told in a
drama occupying only 2 hours. Yet the
story told on the stage is complete
Those who have not read the book will
see in the play the great theme of the
book, and in the skilful acting of
Richard Butler and his associates the
finely drawn characters of the book.
| 1t is play that throws much light on
| the history of the early church, and
interesting pupils in the Sunday School
study of the New Testament particu-
larly those parts relating to the spread
of the gospel to Rome.
The play will be given for the last
time tonight Tomorrow and the re-
mainder of the week. THE Two Or
phans'' will be presented.

he can show the President that he is
doing right in riding rough-shod over
the plainly expressed will of the people
by refusing to authorize the issue of
the entire amount of the bonds decided
upon by the Legislature. The action
of the Governor is un-American and, as
I say, if he is able to carry out his
plans, 1 can only conclude that mon
Iarchical system of government is pre-
ferable.

issuance of the whole amount Of the

CHINESE LABOR
PLAN IS PAU

ditions which precede, make 1t evident
that unless some modification can be
obtained, the progress of these islands
will be checked. Notwithstanding the
large number of Oisentals that COM
pose our population, 1t is evident from
the school statistics that we are not be-
ing Asiaticized. The conditions here
differ entirely from those which affect
the Atlantic seaboard, and provision
for a limited number of Orientals to
work in the cane and rice fields of these
islands need not necessarily antagoniza
those who believe in restricted imml-
grafton. The immigration laws in ref
erence to the entrance of Chinese are
already in force in these islands, and
those here are not allowed to enter the
ports of the Pacific coast Thus pro-
vision could easily be made for a linn
tied number under restrictions requir-
ing their return at the end of a givqn
number of years and combining them
entirely to these islands. "-Governor

The recommendation of Roosevelt is
regarded by many as the death of the
Chinese immigration proposition. 1t is
quite a coincidence that it was read
in Congress on the same day that the
Hawaiian Planters Association adopt
ed a resolution to import a thousand
families of Portuguese.

HARD JOB FOR
COLONEL JONES
JURORS DISAGREE IN BREWERY
:. CASE AND WANT A LOT OF
TESTIMONY READ.

Col. Jones, stenographer of the cir
cult court, went UP against hard job
This afternoon. The jury in the case
of Niehaus Bros. VS.. the Honolulu
Brewery and Victor Hoffman came in
to court and asked Judge Robinson to
have portions of the direct testimony
of A. Hooking read to them. The
court said that if the direct testimony
was read the cross examination must
also be read, and so the jurors took
their seats and Jones began the read
ing of his stenographic notes of tes-
timony lasting a little more than a
day. 1t was a severe test of steno-
graphic work, but the colonel read
rapidly
The jurors said they could agree on
a verdict as soon as a certain point as
to what Hooking had said was settled.
The suggestion was made that the
counsel might agree on this one fact
for the jury, and the three who were
present, ]. w. Cathcart, d. w. Ander-
son and r. d. Mead, made an effort.
In a few minutes, however, they gave
it up and agreed to disagree.
Cathcart objected to Hocking's tes-
timony being read alone. He said it
was like allowing Hooking to testify
twice, and might change the jurors
ideas altogether He said that the
only correct way would be to read the
entire case. The objection was over
ruled, Cathcart took an exception, and
the reading of the notes proceeded.

DELEGATE FOR
SALT LAKE CITY
PROMOTION COMMITTEE WILL
TAKE PART IN THE SEE AME-
RIGA FIRST" CONVENTION.

At yesterday afternoons meeting of
the Promotion Committee there were
present Vice Chairman A Gartley, F.
C. Smith and e. l. Spalding, Secretary
Wood and F.. j. Lowrey
Secretary Wood read the following
letter from the Commercial Club of Salt
Lake City:
Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 1, 1905.
Dear Sir: We beg leave to invite
your attention to the movement inau@
gurated by the Commercial Club Of
this city looking to the diversion into
western channels of a part of the tide
of tourist travel now flowing from
America to Europe.
A conservative estimate made by re-
liable authorities places the amount of
money expended in foreign countries
during the season of 19O4-5 by American
sightseers at $15O,OOO 900.
This great sum was paid in large
part by men and women in search of
health, pleasure and recreation, who,
though native to the United States,
were in comparative ignorance of the
scenic, climatic and industrial advan-
tages Of that portion of our country
lying west of the Mississippi river.
1t will, we think, be readily admitted
that any material part of the amount
named above, If spent in western COM
munities, would not only make for their
great financial betterment, and up
building, but would most desirably ex-
tend and increase the general knowl-
edge of what this important section of
the nation has to offer to the seekers
of health, amusement, recreation or in
vestment, who now crowd foreign cap
itals and pleasure resorts.
