CONVERSATION ON THE DRAMA.


A Belgian millionaire has offered
prize OF $1,000 TO be divided among authors
OF the best plays brought out in his coun-
try the coming season, provided "they
contain no mention of marital infdelity."
One would naturally suppose. without
further ado. that the object OF the prize
is to filter and elevate the drama OF Bel
GUM. but this is, in the main, wrong 1t
is not intended primarily TO refine the
stage, but to improve the moral tone OF
the conversation at dinner parties. The
altruist himself explains that he is very
far from wanting "goody goodness" on
the stage, but plays furnish the principal
subject OF conversation. and this means
TINT "in the present dearth of bright
talent all dinner tables are persis tently
occupied with a theme which is perforce
unsavory. and bore therefore, If con-
versation is TO be uplifted he argues that
the drama must be given purifying
treatment He traces the effect straight
back to the cause First of all, he
would cleanse conversation: but neces-
sarily, he first OF all must fumigate

HEADACHE FROM HIGH COLLARS.

ran MAIL GHEctlc
That high collars tend to produce
nervous headaches among both meA and
women is the most recent discovery of
a well-kDown Viennese physician. Quite
accidentally the Doctors attention was
directed to the very high and very tight
style Of collar worn by n patient who
was always complaining Of headaches and
giddiness. The collar was laid aside.
thus removing the compression of tho
neck. and the patients headaches and
giddiness disappeared. Struck by this re-
suit, the doctor paid particular atten-
tion to the kind OF collars worn by his
headache patients" and In very many
instances the change to lower and easier
fitting collars brought Immediate relief.
In the case of wealen wearing high, stiff
neckbands II was found that doing away
with these had similarly beneficial re-
suit. The doctor declares that nobody
with any tendency 10 headache should
wear high collars.

KISSING THE BRIDE.

English journals are having some dis
cussion over a question raised by
clergyman who would abolish what he
calls the foolish and Irrelevant custom
OF kissing the bride after the wedding
ceremony,
II is comforting TO note that the cru
sade is not being made on the over
worked microbe theory. but solely for
the reason above described. And that la
enough. Perhaps even better than call
ing It irrelevant would be to say that ID
Is immaterial; that is to say, there Is
nothing In it. 1t is empty mockery
for the bride whose thoughts are far
away-at least several feet away-from
the immediate object OF her cold saluta-
tion. and II Is likewise a vain mockery
for those who are favored with the bridal
kisses. The small boy who is mpelled
by reasons OF policy to kiss teacher. OF
The man who for similar reasons In
dulges in the practice OF kissing open
mouthed infants, is in the same boat IiE

There is mountain god, they say. who

Remote. untouched by prayers or temple

A god lrrevocably who coTnpels
The hidden fountains and the secret wells
Upward and outward from their cloisIered

He calls them, calls them. all the lus-

Aud not one ripping child dare disobey.
There Is god who dwells within your
eyes
Like that yelled god OF mountain mys-

Compelling all my secret soul to rise
Unto flooded brim OF still surprise
Flooded and flushed beneath the gods

SLAUGHTER FOR MILLINERY.

Ladies who patronize the use OF birds
feathers In millinery may be interested
TO know that certain species Of birds
are threatened with extinction by the
prevailing fashion. The French organ
L'Aviculteur reports that in one market
recently, and at one sale, there ware
disposed OF 10000 humming birds, 2S, 900
parrakeets, $4,000 kingfshers, 10000 al
grettes and many thousand other birds
OF gorgeous plumage, Germany sends to
London every year 90 900 900 feathers to
be worked up into trimmings. The one
hope for the poor birds Is that the day
may soon arrive when to wear the feath-
ers of wild birds will be deemed bad
form. Nothing else can save them. The
greater their beauty the worse their I'M
pending fate.

AMERICAN FREEMEN MEET.

That was a magnificent assemblage in
the theater yesterday afternoon, tho
first State convention Of tho American
party. In fervor, earnestness, and elo-
Quence of the utterances, it cannot be
equaled In Utah; for, aside from tho
emincnce Of the speakers and the splen-
dor OF their sentences, the cause they
were advocating is the only real cause
before the people of this State. The
issues presented by the American party
are tho actual things which occupy and
divide the minds Of the people. 1t is
noble cause that was being presented
to tho public, and nobly was it pre-
sented.
The nominees are worthy Of the great
principles which their nomination rep
resents. Both are eminent citizens, Of
the very highest standing.
Mr.. Weir is one Of the finest types
Of business and mining men, success
full, Independent, thinker, scholar,
to the position of Representative in
Congress is ono that is superb; no other
party can show so distinguished and fit
a choice. His election would confer
such honor on Utah as would be pride
to every citizen.
Mr.. Maloney, for Justice Of the SUI
preme Court, is also a nomination of
the very best sort. As lawyer, MIR.
Maloney has long been eminent for his
keen intellect, his sound knowledge Of
the law, and his high standing in his
profession. His nomination is an honor
to the State and compliment to him
which is worth much In appreciative
regard.
The best of feeling pervaded the con
ventiop It was nm enthusiastic meet
ing: the applause was earnest and over
whelning, showing the deep feeling
that moved every breast, and the heart
felt appreciation of all that the Amor
lean cause is the cause OF freedom,
right, and justice.
The American ratification meeting in
the same place last evening was mon
ster affair. The theater was packed
from the upper gallery to the floor, and
the stage was filled with chairs, which
we're all occupied. Every one was in
the best Of humor, and in full harmony
with American principles, and with the
purposes for which the meeting was be-
ing held.
Ex-Gov. George A. Black, as chair
man Of the evening, opened the ball
with a speech in his happiest vein,
which frequently brought down the
house, He was followed by Councilman
terry, who gave some figures on mu-
nicinal affairs that are a complete vim
dication on all the charges made by ig-
norant, malicious, and mendacious per
sons against the American city admins
tration.
The other speakers earnestly pressed
home the principles Of the American
party, and demonstrated the necessity
for that party and for the triumph Of
its faith and it's work.
It was great day for American
ism; the brilliant success Of these pre-
llminary gatherings is an excellent be-
ginning of the campaign; it presages
a victory in November, in which its
opponents as we'll as its friends will
reap large benefits in freedom and in
the spread of right American sentiments
in Utah.

DEATH KNELL SOUNDED.
Georgia Legislature Passes Bill Out
!. having Bucket Shop and Exchange

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. s.-The So
called Boykin anti-bucket shop bill,
saopted by the house of represen-
tatives several days since, today
posed the senate by the decisive vote
Sa So to 3, and needs only the COVER
nor,s signature to become law.
This bill makes no distinction be-
tween bucket shops and exchanges,
but provides for the closing of all
places in Georgia where options on
futures are bought and sold, after
January 1, 1907.
A substitute bin making a sharp
distinction between bucket shops and
exchanges which was favorably re-
ported by the senate committee was
lost by the vote OF 20 to IA
81 The effect of the bill viii be to pro-
hibit all buying and selling in this
state of futures, and if signed by
Governor Terrell, which is reported
to be a. practical certainty, will result
in closing a large number of ex-
changes in Atlanta as Well as in othef
cities of the State.
