Fisher Harris Speaks.

Fisher Harris created . laugh when he
opened his speech by saying:

election this fall will be the second one
since statehood that hasn't found me
running for office.
II went down to defeat once on the
same ticket with Mr.. MOyle; but / would
rather be defeated for the highest office
in the state on the Democratic ticket un-
til the crack of doom than be elected on
the Republican ticket under present con-
ditions."
Mr.. Harris painted an eloquent picture
Of the present prosperity of Utah and Of
the possibilities of the future He de-
clared however. that the full measure OF
prosperity could never be obtained while
the state was rent and torn by dissensons
at home. and while it's reputation was
being injured abroad. He blamed these
existing conditions upon the Republican
party. and created great laughter by re-

COLLEGE IS LAID
Ceremonies Are Held at the
New Westminster institution
of Presbyterian Church.
GREAT PLANS FOR FUTURE
PRESIDENT SAYS THAT 1T WILL
BE SECOND TO NONE.

One of the big steps In the foundation
of what promises to be a large institu-
ton of learning for this and the sur
rounding states was taken yesterday when
the cornerstone of the new administra-
ton building of Westminster college was
laid with appropriate ceremonies. The
building is not the first OF those proposed
by the Westminster college people, the
Gunton memorial chapel erected some
years ago antedattng it. But the build
ing now begun is to be the first of the
college buildings proper.
The ceremonies attendant on the laying
or the cornerstone were held at 4 clock
Yesterday afternoon and were attended
by over hundred persons. The block
Of red sandstone was dropped Int) it's
place on the northeast corner of the
foundation at 10 o'clock and the dedice-
ton was read Immediately after by Rev
G. McNeice.
Review of Work Done.
The actual laying of the stone was pre-
ceded by q short program, chief of which
was resume of the work of the West
minister committee by Dr. McNeice. The
speaker told of the various efforts TO Sc
cure land and money for the erection of
the building following the struggle for
the past twenty-four years. He eulO-
giZed the late Colonel W. NJ. Ferry, to
whose generosity the ownership of the
present site is due, and Sheldon Jackson.
whose gift made possible the erection of
the building He spoke highly of the
hopes at present for the permanency and
success of the institution whose material
foundation was laid yesterday. and he
predicted that within another twelve
months three large college buildings would
be seen on the site. The money for one
of these-the woman's building-has been
donated in part by Mrs. w NJ. Ferry of
Park City, who since the death OF Colonel
Ferry has given $4,000. and the remain
der is to be raised by the women of the
church.
The land embraced in the gift to the
college lies on the hillside above Thir-
teenth East and Eleventh South streets.
1t is high. rolling land. well watered and
admirably adapted for the purpose in
tended. 1t consists OF twenty acres and
is large enough to hold many college
buildings.

GROWTH OF INSANITY.

1t is not pleasant to realize that
In the United States the growth of
insanity is outrunning the increase
of population. But it appears to
be so. AS result, MANY thought

Is Modern life driving US crazy9
Not long ago the New York
State Commission Of Lunacy stated
that, whereas, in 1892, there was
one insane person to every 677 Of
the population in that state, the
present proportion is one to 299.
Startling increase indeed, al
most in the same proportion-are
also shown by figures from other
states. During the same thirteen
year period the mentally afflicted

willingly. This fact apparently
has increased the number of stated
insane.
Modern treatment also serves to
prolong the lives of afflicted ones,
and this also results in a larger
number of inmates.
At the same time, there is an
alarming spread of insanity.
Alienists attribute this fact to two
principal causes undesirable i'm

He Got it Fixed.

The following story illustrative
of the red tape that used to pre-
vail in certain department of the
federal government at Washington,
is told by an official who began his
service there in the humble capac.
ity of clerk:
Shortly after entering upon the
discharge of my duties" said the
official, Il witnessed a scene in the
division to which | had been as
signed that astonshed me to a de-
gree. One day an elderly clerk
whose desk was near mine sud-
denly rose from his seat, dragged
his chair to a fire place, and, seizing
a poker, attacked the offending
piece of furniture with what APP
peared to be maniacal fury. When
he had broken a leg of the chair
his passion seemed to be exhaust
ed. He flung the damaged chair
into a corner of the room, and,
getting another chair, calmly re-
sumed his work just as if nothing
had occurred.
When the time came to leave
the Office that afternoon, ventur-

been witness of the scene, what
it meant, rs that clerk" en-
