A coherent and intrinsically interest
ing plot would indeed be astonishing in
a musical comedy, and / am not so sure
that it would be liked by the majority
of theatrical fur seekers. No such risk
of originality is incurred by ''Mamselle
Sallie." However it plays new ana
winning trick by placing gTotesquely
ugly woman i'm the lead of its half nun
dred singing and dancing girls. THIS
starred actress is the little cockney,
Katie Barry. and she makes a fresh de-
rnand for laughter by appearing in one
scene with her skirts off, while i'm their
stead she wears a tight pair of black
trousers with a red and green checked
seat It isn't worth while to raise the
question of Dropriety; but the most
sticking uurist wouldn't deny that <a-
tie is funny sight when she faces the
footlights liz those trousers, and ten
times funnier when, turning her back
to them, she stoops to tie her shoe. Why
scold her? She's got to make folks
laugh. you know. And then. too, she
causes the fifty girls &c look prettier by
contrast.
There are three sorts of the girls. One
sort are short-frocked pupils at a
boarding school, and they have been Sc
| lected for youngness and SmallneSs. in
New York slang they would be called
| "brOilerS." Another Sort are clasSa Die
technically as 'show girls" that is to
say, they are tall. straight, handsome,
young women in long gowns and con-
descendirgly ladylike demeanor. A
third sort. numbering only six, are a
pony ballet of gymnastic dancers. Tn
their most remarkable miX-up of stunts,
| their hands serve as feet. their legs are
flung like arms. and the half dozen
young athletes look like full gross of
circus f1ip-happers.
| "Ah," sighed an 0ldish man at my
right, 'you should have seen Marie
Bonfanti She wouldn't have profaned
| the art of grace like that"
! "And Fanny Ellsier" muttered an old
er man at nv left. never would have
so outraged the poetry of motion"
Just then the ponies fell on their
backs, danced a moment with their feet
In air, and went cartwheeling off the
stage. The two venerab BILE critics looked
grim. and clapped TO hands. but could
not help suspecting that they didn't
mind it when the applause compelled
| those girls to come out and do some
more circus feats. marie Bonfant
never did that" said one, nor Fanny
Ensler," said the other. And then, too,

A FINANCIAL CENTER.

Salt Lakes clearingS OF the week
ending last Thursday were s6,14s 49s, an
increase of 46 per cent over the clear
ings for the same week of last year.
The total is almost exactly as large as
Denver's, it is within a few dollars of
Indianapolis, and it places this city
twenty-seventh in the clearings list for
the week.
Portland is almost a million behind,
Memphis has about one-third as much
to it's credit. Toledo, Rochester, At
lanta, Tacoma and Spokane are way in
the rear. In a word, Salt Lake out
ranks every city of its class in the
United States for financial activity, as
evidenced by the best barometer of
trade; and it equals several cities of
much greater population and larger
commercial opportunities.
The reasons for Salt Lakes prom
inence in financial operations are easily
understood when one studies its geo.
graphical location with relation to big
operations in mines and commerce. Be
tween the Wasatch and Sierras it has
no competitor. From Butte on the
north to Los Angeles in the south, il
holds undisputed command OF dis
tributive business, including supplies
merchandise, mining machinery and
the necessities of the MINER the ranch
| try no other city is the inevitable, nat
ural center of such an empire, and none
is so certain to maintain it's supremacy
in its field
| What this position means to the peo-
pie of Salt Lake is only beginning to
be realized. Wherever any favorable
opportunity offers for mining opera
tons, the Salt Lake operators are or

they can command the capital tc

Their smelters are the natural outlet

In the whole realm of mining invest
ments, no securities are regarded witt
greater favor than those of the com
panies directed from Salt Lake. TIL,
dictum of the best operators here is o
itself sufficient TO guarantee confidence
in Boston or New York or London
Naturally, great sums have come her
for investment, and still greater SUM
are ready to come whenever Salt LAX
ers say the word.
Commercially speaking, the position

tUG-HANDLED JUSTICE.

According to Justice Peterson OF Lo-
gan, 1t is no crime to take official bal
lots out of the custody of election
Judges: all that is needed to prevent
prosecution is to assert the absence Of
any criminal intent-and stand in with
the authorities.
The justice who bases his ideas of
the law on this curious theory, heard
the preliminary proceedings in the
cases Of President w. c. Parkinson of
Hyrum stake, Cache county, and a. NJ.
Israelson, his first counselor. Evidence
showed these two leaders of their COM
munity had secured two official ballots
from one of the judges of election, and
retained the ballots until a curious
Democrat who cast the first vote at the
polls noticed that his ballot was No. 3,
and made inquiry as to the where
abouts of the missing blanks.
Neither of the delinquents questioned
the facts adduced, and the only plea in
their defense was the bald assertion
that they had no guilty intent in their
action. To explain just how the pros
ecution in any criminal case could show
intent except by the circumstances sur
rounding the act would befuddle even
a Justice Peterson. The law assumes
that if an intelligent or unintelligent
man violates its provisions he has done
wrong: it does not charge justice
with the duty of mind-reading to find
20 CefanAar do
wrong or not, but it does make it in
eumbent on him to observe his oath of
office and do his duty no matter what
the position or influence of the men who
come before him.
Apparently the Cache county court
regards lightly the abstraction Of bal
lots and the utter disregard of the law
governing their custody. In its eyes
she protection of the franchise is a
convention that may be overruled with
impunity by any man who has influ-
ence enough to secure possession of bal
lots and power enough to forestall
prosecution. In other words, in his
opinion all the safeguards thrown
around the vote Of a free people by the
laws of the state and nation are mean
ingless.
OF course, if some misguided saloon
bum violates the law, he is to get the
full penalty in such cases made and
provided; or if any other man of small
repute and no pull" is caught defy
ing the sanctity of the ballot no sem
tence is too severe. But if men of in
telligence and high standing, men OF
influence who are supposed to furnish
an example for their followers, happen
10 override the law and get caught al
it, they need only explain that theil
action was really without any crimina
intent. sort of Sunday amusement a:
it were. in order to secure immunity.
The only wonder is that the defend
ants did not Indignantly demand al
apology from the court and the prose
cutting attorney for their effrontery. il

A FOE OF MORMONISM.

Sir: Our Senate has spent three years spreading
out the denominations of Mormonisu. when three
hours were quite sufficient learn all that Smoot
could tell them. Many years ago spent a week In
salt Lake City, and a Presbyterian minister who
had boarding school there told me the programme
that the MormonS going to pUrSue-namely,
that they would spread their ahoTninable system
until they would get a majority In the United
States Senate and then they would spread Nor
mOnism over the whole country. 10 is said they
have majority in five six states of the Union
now. and have already an establishment in Har>
lem, New Ork City, which is utter disgrace TO
country. Why punish man for having two
wives. but permit who has half dozen TO
go free?
