These facts were extracted from
the witness with some difficulty, and
and sometimes in a rather indefinite
form. In a statement Of his own, is
sued after the examination, he ex-
planned that the financial operations
of the syndicate were taken to enable
the road to reduce the interest on its
loans, improve its property, and re-
duce its rates. He said that the net
results of the operations of the COM
pany had been "to promote the terri

business threefold at a reduction of
rate that was thirty per cent greater

The old saying that a cat has nine
lives seems to be borne out by many
stories. One of them is told of an
old Maltese cat which has survived
many a catastrophe by land and sea,
and sits triumphant On the hearth of
a New Hampshire farmer.

lively one day to a visitor, "He ap-
peared to me one night when / come

big eater, and it did seem for one

coming engagement OF Madam But
terfly' promises to break all records
not alone for this season, but in the
history of the Salt Lake Theatre.
Founded on John Luther Longs
fantastic story OF Japanese life
Madam Butterfly has achieved a tri-
umph heretofore mnheard of in this
country and probably not surpassed
by any Grand Opera produced in
Europe in the last half century. Al
ready produced in Italian at Milan,
in Hungarian at Budapest, in Italian
in London, in French in Paris and in
English in New York, still greater
success is awaiting it III Berlin, where
the opera is to be sung in German; in
Vienna. where it is to be sung in the
native tongue and in St. Petersburg,
where a Russian translation of the
score has already been made and
where it is to be produced at. the
Royal Opera.
The ground work of the Puccuni
opera is based on the simple story of
an innocent Geisha's girls owe for an
American Naval officer who had
been stationed temporarily at Ma
gasaki. Madam Butterfly" was the
bride and she was welded according
to the elaborate ceremony prescribed
by Japanese laws. Butterfly was in
earnest, but Pinkertou the lieutenant
considered the marriage as only an
interesting episode in a care-free life.
When Pinkerton leaves he tells the
little Geisha that he will return when
the robins nest again ~rP inkerton
never expects to return and takes ad-
vantage of the japanese law which
holds that desertion is divorce.
Butterfly remains faithful during
three long years of patient waiting.
When Pinkerton returns by chance he
has a real American wife who finally
confronts Butterfly and seeks pos
session of the little boy that had been
born her. The introduction Of the
American wife of Pinkerton is the
prelude to the great tragedy of Mad
am Butterfly. Forsakcn by her rela-
tives, a shamed woman in the eyes OF
the law and cruelty deserted by the
man in whom she had buried her
faith, Butterfly decides to seek death
according to the manner other an

wife that she can have the baby if she

COMING TO THE ORPHEUM.

Next week 5 Dill at tEe Orpnetim Is
destined to set a new pace for mod
crn vaudeville in Salt Lake, for the
program includes some decidedly
strong acts, even for the Orpheum.
In the first place Salt Lake will see
for the first time the famous Eight
Bedouin Arabs, whirlwind acrobats
of the Sahara. This troupe every
where makes a hit for the rapidity Of
their work and the astounding feats
undertaken. At pyramid-building they
are the clear candy and incidentally
one of the double quartet supports
his sever companions on his should
ers and knees-a mere bagatelle Of
three quarters OF a ton of flesh and
bone.
Nellie Beaumont. a beautiful wo-
man as well as a talented coincidence,
is another winner. Supported by her
company in a merry farce My Busy
Day she fairly makes Rome howl.
Miss Beaumont appears in the sketch
as an emotional actress i'll search OF
a divorce, and the hilarious fun is
aided and abetted by Arthur Van. a
we'll known comedian of dance and
song accomplishments.
Eleanor Fake, is another come
dicnne who has left the legitimate for
vaudeville. AS Lady Holyrood i'll
"Florodora" and Mrs. Pineapple in
THE Chinese Honeymoon she is
too well known to need introduction.
She is now in vaudeville for a brief
spell prior to appearing i'll a new
comic opera next season in which she
will take the title role.
There are other celebrities on the
bill, to-wit: Egbert Van Alstyne, the
composer OF "ln The Shade OF The
Old Apple Tree" Cheyenne Back.
Back To Baltimore" and other popu-
lar songs, and Louise Henry, the
original "Sal Skinner" girl, who will
offer their latest act that is COM
posed of pleasing specialties. Mr..
Van Alstyne will play some OF his
latest successes and Miss Henry will
present "Sal Skinner
Shields and Rogers, kings OF the
lariat, have an act that savors of the
wild West i'll which a lasso and an
Indian figure prominently.
Fred Laserc, a clever aerial contor-
Zionist, will endcavor to demonstrate
that Yuma is not the only man in vau-
deville who can do some startling
stunt while swinging across the
stage.
The Kinodrome will swing into line
with some good motion pictures and
needless to say Willard Weihe's all
solo orchestra will hold up its end
i'll one of the strongest bills yet pre-
scented at the popular State Street
vaudeville house.
Nellie Beaumont, who is perhaps
without a prototype upon the Ameri-
can stage, and whose methods have
often been likened to those of the
late Rosina Vokes, will make her first
appearance in vaudeville in this city
at the Orpheum Monday night.
The sketch chosen for this oc-
.%casion is a merry c%onceit, entitled
Busy Day." written by the we'll
known playwright and l%yricist, Geo
Totten Smith, and those who have

~CONJURING.

Golfers, III describing the reorgani-
cation of Chicago and Alton Railroad
for the benefit Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. 1t appeared that
a syndicate headed by Mr.. Hartman
bought 81 per cent of the stock of
the Alton in 1890 for $4o,ooo,ooo. The
road was then capitalized at $3o,o35,-
SS7, on which it was paying seven and
7 and 8 percent. On October I, 1900,
the ~reorganizers issued 100000
of 3 per cent bonds, doubling the en-
tire capitalization at a stroke. These
bonds to the amount OF $~32,ooo,ooo
went to the stockholders at 65, and
the members of the reorganization
syndicate therefore secured 81 per
cent of them at that price. In the
same month the syndicate managers
turned over $~Io,ooo,ooo worth OF the
securities to the New York Life In
surance Company, in joint account
with Goldman, Sachs & Co., at 90
and later they sold $I,55o,ooo worth
to the Equitable at OF and SO. The
rest were sold at 90 or above. On
these transactions the profits were
about $S,ooo,ooo. The reorganizers
then paid themselves S $4,000, $50 under
the name of a dividend of 80 per
cent on the stock. This dividend was
paid out of the proceeds of the $780,
100000 mortgage on the ground that
some twelve million dollars spent
on improvements in the previous
twenty years and paid for on of
earnings should have been charged
to capital account.
The road was then reorganized and
taken over by a new company. The
syndicate received $Io,ooo,ooo in cash
for its preferred stock, which had
cost it $6,o44,4oo. For its 1924
shares of common stock it received
Io4,Soo shares of preferred and 1885,
1t also unloaded upon the company
for 100000 a little railroad which
had cost less than a million. These
operations were financed by a second
mortgage for $2~2,ooo,ooo, the syndi-
cate taking Sc per cent bonds to
that amount at a little under 90. The
proceeds of this loan amounted to
$I3,ooo,ooo, all of which went back
to the syndicate in payment for its
preferred stock and its little railroad.
Mr.. Hartman and his associates then
sold these bonds at over so, netting a
new profit of over ~$4,ooo,ooo. The
various items of profit to the syndi-
cate foot up about ~$24,ooo,ooo, no,
counting any gains on the legerde-
main of the common stock. In seven
years the capitalization of the Altor
was increased from $3o,o35,SS7 tc
$~Ia2,S72,ooo. OF this ~$6o,ooo,ooo was

DICTATES OF FASHION.

Dresden and pompadour silk foun.
dations are being used for chiffon and
voile dresses. tH
Trimming ideas are numberless.
Tiny ball drops, tassels and pendants
Of all descriptions are shown on the
new models. s
Somewhat heavier and rougher
goods will be fashionable this fall
Scotch cheviots of fancy design will
be much used in the construction of
tailored gowns.
Two distinctive features may be
noted about sleeves. They have much
more fulness at the top. some of them
even being laid in deep plaits, and
they are very ornate, even to the point
of fussiness.
When one does not have skirt with
a paneled front, plain gored front is
often trimmed with buttons and loops
This adornment sometimes goes to the
bottom OF the skirt, on both sides; at
other times 1t extends a little below
the hips,
There appears TO be some contro.
versy about the wearing of hatpins
Some say that none should be visible
at all; but, on the other hand. the
most exquisite designs are seen in
wrought gold and colors to harmonize
with hat or gown.
