THEATERS IN LONDON
Are Way Behind Those of Ameri-
ca In ConvenienCeS.
THE SCRAMBLE FOR VEHICLES

Disadvantages of Interior Arrange
ments Mould Not Be Tolerated In
This Country-Youns Women as
fishers Exact Tips For Programmes.
The fact that only two or three Of the
fashionable theaters in the west end of
London have adopted the electric car
rage call or number system, common
now even at playhouses of the second
grade in most American cities, is only
one of the many evidences of how
backward London managers are in
looking after the convenience and COM
fort of their patrons.
The wild scramble for private and
public vehicles which is the finale Of
every evening spent at the theater Is
sure to make one of the strongest i'm
pressions upon an American playgoer
In the English capital. Unlike In New
York, where the street cars furnish a
quick and easy conveyance to any part
of the city, London audiences are COM
PEELED to rely mainly upon cabs. Even
owners of private carriages and motor
cars seem to prefer the cheap and al
ways ready hanson. Scores Of these
hover in the neighborhood Of every
playhouse at the fall of the curtain.
Out on the sidewalk is the theater's
carriage man, called the "llnkman,"
and a few commissioners who work
for tips. But they are wholly made
quate to handle the rush for vehicles
when a play let's out So the odd spec
tacle is presented of men and women
In evening dress, often in the rain,
scurrying about the sidewalks and
street, gesticulating and whistling and
scrambling for means to get to the
after the theater supper or home. Only
the splendid discipline Of the London
police keeps the Strand and Shaftes

of Kings. He was enabled to do this
with Italian interference, but he later
flung aside this alliance because, as
he said, Italy desired to absorb his
kingdom. The country he rules Is very
rich in gold, luxuriant in vegetation
and in every way desirable place. It's
population is over 100000. The heir
to the throne is boy II years old,
called Jjau, a son of Meneliks .daugh-
ter The situation in Abyssinia, how
ever, is uncertain, and in the event of
King Menelik's death a struggle for the
succession is probable.

Burial Of Sir John Moore.

The city of Corunna, where Sir John
Moore was killed, is a seaport at the
entrance to the estuary of the Nero
river, 315 miles northwest Of Madrid.
The famous poem by Charles Wolfe
is a misrepresentation Of the scene of
the burial, for Moore was not buried
at night with "our lanterns dimly
burning" but in the early morning of a
rainy day, and the assemblage of Eng
lish officers round the grave was dis
persed by heavy artillery fire from the
French batteries, the gunners mistak.

COAL ADVANCES IN PRICE
Salt Lake Dealers Get Direct Adviees
From the Mines.

SALT LAKE, Aug. lit is an
nounced by the News that an advance
of 50 cents ton on coal is soon to
go into effect at all the mines. The
coal situation heer, as in all other in
termountain cities and towns, is very
acute.
Consumers have been endeavoring to
store coal for the coming winter but
they have met with practically no sue
cess. In some instances householders
have succeeded in getting some by
buying a ton at time from the diff
ferent yards; but as a rule bins have
not been filled for winter use. There
fore this announcement of a prospec-
tive advance in price creates much
disappointment.

Business so that there will be no hitch w b e n
court convenes in April Our guess is that the
cases will not become stale on the docket, as
long as Judge Whipple presides. He 8 tates
that the first term of the court will probably
last two weeks, that the first court in ris p
county lasted even longer than that. He will
select six jury-commissoners within the next
week or ten days and notify them of their ap-
pointment, and they will perhaps by the 1st OF
February prepare iury-boxes and draw the
juries for the spring term of court
Judge Whipple looks at things pretty
much from a moral, Christian standpoint and
our perdcton is that he will not be given to
com promise of cases touching moral turpitude
He is anything but politician and his administra
ton of justice will be entirely independent of
the pernicious influence that many good men on
the bench find in their way.

many good members to have such thing happen
to it, although it is reported that the Cordele
