MYSTERY UNS0LNED
Yellow Sign on Gate Post Creates Some
thing of Sensation,


Hey, pop, there IS smallpox next
door - This pleasant bit Of informa-
tion startled the Smith family, of South
State street. rs father mother and three
children were partaking Of their Sat
urday morning meal. Willie had arisen
early and had discovered a yellow sign
on the gate post at the nelghbor s
house. Usherod by Willie the whole
Smith family left tho breakfast table
to view the sign which had caused the
alarm.
Mr.. Smith soon discovered that it
was an oversight on the part of Willie,
for the placard bore the mysterious
motto 1900 Many families were
also on the front walk gazing at similar
placards, but none knew the meaning
TO the motto. Smiths thoughts imme-
diately turned TO the Black Hand, but
one of the neighbors allayed his fears
by asserting that in his opinion it was
an lad - for show.
On his way downtown Smith could
not read his paper because OF the many
inquiries as 10 the meaning of the mys-
terious "300,'' Many solutions were
offered, but Smith leaned back and
again tried to read-his face animated
with a know-it.all smile. But as he
stepped from the car he was again con-
fronted by numerous '300' placards,
some of them worn on the lapels of pc"
dcstrians' coats, and this completely
undermined his show "ad' theory, so
he relieved his mind by thinking that
he was the only one of the members of
Salt Lake S great fraternity which is
trying to solve the 1900" mystery.
It is said that ono odd looking little
old man has been walking the streets,
and every time he sees a 1900" sign
he smiles knowingly, but if he knows
the answer he will tell no one, and so
the mystery remains nnsolyed.

The Realty Narket Is Especially
Strong, Active, and
Helpful.
BANK CLEARINGS HIGH;
WHOLESALE TRADE HEAVY
The Stock and Bond Market
Shows Many Heavy Sales,
Strong Prices.

Every succeeding week brings more
pronounced and unmistakable evidence
of the approach of an unprecedented
period of local business activity. In
most mercantile lines this season of
the year is the "GreaJ Divide, as ii
follows the period of cut-price sales
and precedes the heavy spring activity.
It is an acknowledged fact that the ap
proach of spring always marks a more
radical departure in mercantile lines
than any other time or tho year, for
with tho arrival of warm weather the
buyers demand spring goods and in lib"
eral quantities, whereas IN the fall the
change from light To heavy goods is
more gradual. The local establishments
are therefore well stocked to meet this
demand and the. only reason that they
are not crowded TO their capacity is the
fact that the factories cannot furnish
the goods and that the railroads are
still behind time in making deliveries
Easter trade is already beginning to IN
fluence conditions, especially IN the
matter of women S wearing apparel,
and as this is somewhat earlier than
usual it is anticipated that the Easter
business will far surpass all former rec
urds.
The Bank Clearances.
The weekly statement of local bank
ing conditions is again encouraging, as
IL shows n steady advance IN volume
and reflects a general prosperity. The
demand for loans was about the same
as during the week preceding and the
fnanciers assert that speculation in
mining stocks is becoming gradually
more active. and that much of the
money is being diverted in this 1,rec
ton, The deposits for the past month
exceeded those of the same month of
the preceding year by S615.00o, and
the bank clearings for the past week
showed an increase over those Of the
same period of 1906 of S76S,6l6.16.
Following are the statistics;

Price of Copper stiffens.
TO The Tribune

BOSTON, March 9.-Recent heavy
sales Of Lake copper by the Calumet
and Hecla company at 26la for April
and 26 for May and June delivery, have
operated to stiffen the price of electro
lytic copper. May and June delivery is
now selling on the basis of 25,65 cents
for New York at the time Calumet and
Hecla sold it was quoted in New York
25k cents, Calumet and Hecla could
have doubled its recent sales had the
management been willing to sell copper
in greater volume and ahead of June.

Cloth to Stop Bullets,

"a new protective principle for sol
dlers has been discovered by an italian,
Sig. Benedetti," says the Technical
World Magazine. Experimentation
shows that great resistance is offered
by substances that have air within
their cells. The principle may be Illus
trated In this manner: Fire under pre-
cisely the same conditions In both cases,
a bullet at each of two calendars, one
Of which consists Of thick sheets Of pa
per, the other Of thinner sheets The
ball will penetrate farther into the cal
endar Of heavier material. This diff
ference Is due to the elasticity Of the
layer Of air that Is imprisoned between
the successive sheets. The thinner the
cushion of air. the more elastic 1t Is,
and the more sharply 1t reacts.
Benedict, adopting this principle,
has constructed a cuirass OF kind of
felt 1t is not rough, however, like or
binary felt. The special features Of
this new device for stopping bullets the
inventor has not as yet disclosed In
any detail"

the morning, and often by daybreak
the scratch Of her pen may be heard
In her study. During the day she often
takes little maps, resuming her writing
with fresh vim, and frequently she will
lie down from s or 8 o'clock In the
evening until 10 or II, rising then to
go vigorously to work and write busily
until or 2 o'clock in the morning. One
Of her most faithful companions states
that frequently, when she has had some
difficult piece Of writing to be done,
she would 60 to the kitchen and work
energetically with her hands, at can
ming or ironing or some domestic task
all the while revolving her subject
and Its arrangement in her thoughts
Then suddenly she would go to her
room, take up her pen and write her
article with scarcely the change Of a
word. She insisted that her thoughts
came much more clearly and smoothly
when her hands were occupied.
During the summer months Miss
Barton generally goes to her old home,
the little town Of Oxford, Mass, where
she was born and where her remaining
relatives still live. She Is dearly loved
and reverenced there, and Is usually
the patron saint Of the young men and
maids Of the graduating classes She
has an unfaillng interest In young peo-
Pile, and enters into their ambitions and
troubles with real sympathy. Another
Of her great pleasures Is the annual re-
union Of the G.. A. r., where she Is
always a beloved and honored figure.
The old boys" have never forgotten
the heroism and courage with which
she went among them, helping to save
their lives, and here at least there goes
out to her gratitude which never for
gets nor takes for granted the great
work she has accomplished.
