CLOSE CALL FOR MISS ADAMS.
The Actress Is Nearly Pushed Over
FootIights by q SwayIng Curtain.
~ York Timesl


a bunch of violets, a gust of wind. and
an unsteady curtain came near proving a
disastrous combination for Maude Adams
on the stage OF the Empire theatre yes
terday afternoon
At the close Of the third act of Peter
Pan, as Miss Adams was responding to
the first curtain call, some one threw
a large bunch Of violets onto the stage
They landed close TO the footlights Just
in front of Gustave Sanger, the leader of
the orchestra
Miss Adams did not see the flowers at
first. When the applause continued she
came forward a second time caught sight
Of the viOlets, and hurried to pick them
up. While she was bending over a
draught Of air from the stage blew the
curtain out over the footlights against
Miss Adams, almost forcing the actress
into the orchestra
AS she tOtteTed on the edge Of the stage
and the audience gasped. her hands found
a support on the shoulders Of Mr. San
ger, who sprang to her assistance With
his help she regained her balance and as
the curtain fell back into place, hurried
from the stage.
Beyond a moments scare, Miss Adams
suffered no ill-effects from the accident
The audience, however, seemed to feel
she had had a narrow escape and showed
its relief by redOubled applause.

ADJUSTMENTS FOR TODAY.
a PRECEDENT AT LAST.

Utah people who profess to be Of the
opinion that the salary grab bill
passed by recent legislature is con-
stitutionaI In it's application to the on
GERS who were serving terms at the
time the act became a law, may per-
haps draw some comfort from a deci-
sion handed down by the supreme
court of Connecticut a short time ago.
The case was an exact parallel to the
Utah grab. The salaries Of all judges
were raised by an act of the legislature
and the supreme court has held the law
to be constitutional
The fact that their own salaries were
involved. that they themselves profited
by the increase, of course had no effect
on the wise and upright judges. They
wouldn't let a little thing like that in
terfere with their judgment. But
somehow the opinion was not received
with many manifestations of approval
Indeed the newspapers of Connecticut
are almost unanimous I'm their condem-
nation Of the proceeding. The New
Haven Register, for instance, speaks Of
the decision as a bitter disappoint-
ment and cannot possibly have other
than an unfortunate effect upon the
popular estimate of the dignity Of the
courts" The Register adds:
The particular point involved in this
disagreeable case is so human in its
bearings as TO preclude the last word
being had by the court, even though
we must all accept the decision as final,
from which no appeal can be taken.
The fact that the judges are the bene-
ficiaries Of the finding leaves a dis
tinetIy unpleasant taste in the mouth,
in spite Of the impression that the
supreme court can do no wrong"
By another Connecticut paper we are
Informed that though it is quite pos
sible that the court decided as it be-
lieved TO be right and proper no lawyer
or layman who agreed with it had been
or could be found. Certainly the pro-
Ceeding was a curious one. In most
states judges are prohibited from pass
ing on matters in which they have a
pecuniary or other interest 1t is diff
cult to understand why the Connecticut
supreme court did not have the COM
mon decency TO step down and out in
this case.

MO CAUSE FoR SURPRISE.

Judge" Andrew Hamilton, chief
lobbyist for the life insurance COM
panies, thinks it passing strange that
the men for whom he spent so much
money should not remember him now
L note" says the Judge" In an inter
view, that some of these gentlemen in
New York say they do not know me-
1t certainly seems strange that any
man should be in a position TO spend
very large sums Of money of which
they are the legal guardians during a
long term Of years and yet be totally
unknown TO them"
What is there so strange about the
matter? II Hamilton is at all familiar
with very recent history, and he proba-
bly, is not because he has been spend
ing much Of his time in Paris, he must
know that our high financiers have
a pleasant little habit of forgetting
when il would be inconvenient for them
to remember. There's Henry II. Rogers,
for example. Although Mr.. Rogers is
the active managerial head of the
Standard oil trust, there were a great
many important things about that cor
poration that he could not remember
when Attorney General Hadley of
Missouri asked questions about them.
And Mr. Rogers at times grew quite
peevish in his declarations OF ignor-
ance.
From time immemorial people OF high
position who did not want TO remem-
Der have been blessed with most con-
venient memories. There is nothing at
All surprising in the Hamilton case
unless IL be Hamilton's surprise at the
failure Of the men under whose direc-
ton he expended the money of life in
surance policy holders to remember
him II they had recoiIected him, il
they had remembered anything about
instructing him as to the disbursement
Of the money there would have been a
fact at which the nation might reason
ably marvel.

VIII Make Fight,
Especial to The Herald.)

ReXburg, Ida, March 19.-Rexburg
has received her share Of the cold
wave. For several days it has been
extremely cold. On Friday and Sat
urday mornings the mercury dropped
to 20 degrees below zero. There is so
much snow north OF st. Anthony that

rupted for several days. A large force
OF Japs were put to work to shovel the
snow out Of the cuts.
The grocery store of A. L. Black
burn was robbed last week About $40
IN cash and a quantity of goods were
taken. Marshal Cahoon is keeping a
keen lookout for all suspicious char
acters.
Since the extension OF the Yellow
stone branch began the trainmen have
had some trouble with hoboes beating
their way. A few nights ago the south
bound passenger had on board three
fellows who refused to pay their fare.
The conductor sent word ahead to
Rexburg and when the train arrived
here the hobos were placed under ar
rest by Marshal Cahoon. They were
brought before Justice David Osborne
on Thursday and fined SO each and
costs. Two Of them paid their fines,
but the other still remains in the city
bastile.
Rexburg puplic schools was given a
pleasant surprise by his upper grade
pupils on Thursday afternoon The stu
dents brought refreshments and had
good time. Professor LangtOn is
held in very high esteem, both by the
pupils OF the school and the citizens
Of Rexburg. The gentleman is a grad
uate of Cornell university and has
taught and supervised schools for a
number of years,
On many of the farms OF this sec
ton new residences will be built this
spring. This is substantial evidence
OF material advancement.
The farmers OF this section have
been considering the proposition Of Or
ganizing a protective alliance. j. H.
Merrill OF Blackfoot was here last week
and outlined the proposition to a num-
Der Of local farmers.
The Ladies' Relief society held their
annual reunion on Saturday night.
"reminiscences, refreshments and gen.
eral handshaking were the features of
the evening.
Elder Ralph Cheney Of Jacksons Hole
was In Rexhurg last week. He was
on his way home from the state Of
Mississippi where he has been labor
ing as a missionary. He was released
on account of Illness. There is so much
snow between here and the Jackson s
Hole country that the gentleman will
be unable to get over there for some
time.
Rexburg is working hard for the
county seat removal. Petition blanks
have been prepared for 5000 signers,
and have been sent to the various pre-
ciEcts. The ten days required by law
has expired. A thorough canvass will
be made TO get signers for the petit
ton. The people of Rexburg will make
a hard but clean fight for their lOgi-
cal rights. Another competitor has en-
tered the arena-Sugar City. Popular
sentiment, however, is strongly in ia
vor Of the removal to this point. The
contest promises to be one of great
interest. The citizens of Rexburg are
determined to win
