the Thirty-sixth district, vice Bruce
Johnson, will tomorrow resume his po-
litical duties. The p. L. desires The
Herald to voice his regrets over the
fact that his comparatively unimport-
ant work as q director of the state fair
kept him away from his constituents
last week. From this time forward he
and his fast going automobile will be
at the service of his constituents of the
Thirty-sixth. The color line will not

Political Notes.

A meeting of the Republican city
committee was scheduled for last night
in the new headquarters in the Com
merciaI block At the last minute,
however, it was found that there were
no lights. and so the meeting was post
poned until Monday. Old-time politi-
clans say it is the first instance on
record in which the Republicans of
Salt Lake wanted light on their pro-
ceedines. But Fireman Devine is used
to a blaze and he will find it hard to
accustom himself to the darkness.

Sophie Mounnier, married at 18 to an
irascible, Jealous, narrow-minded man
of 70. Curiously enough, her parents,
who evidently had taste for elderly
husbands, had previously nearly mar

nothing, and two years later the re-
luctant girl was made a marquise in

Webster Said Nay.

worked in paper mill when a boy,
and had to make such long days that
he had no time to go anywhere dur.
ing the day.
He had learned that Mr. Webster,
who lived some four miles away, had
imported some fine cattle, and being
very fond of animals, induced his
mother to allow him to go to see
them Sunday after church service.
So he and another boy went down.
Upon arriving at the farm they met
Mr.. Webster, who inquired what they
wanted. When Mr.. D. explained Mr..
Webster said:
Boys, did you not know this is
the Lords day, and you cannot see
the cattle?"
Mr.. D. explained that they had no
other time, and had been to church
twice, and that his mother had given
them permission to come; but Mr..
Webster would not change his original
decision.

Bois de Boulogne-has lost it's ele-
phant Said. Ills death may make
biologists reconsider their views on
the differences between animals and
mankind, for Said seems to have had
more than vague notion of what was
right and wrong. Said never was any,
thing but kind-hearted and willing un-
til he was taken with fever a few
years ago. Then neither his temper
nor his limbs knew any bounds, and
after much rampaging he killed his
faithful keeper Neef, who brought him
over from London in 1883. The chill
dren soon forgave Said, but he could
not forgive himself. He became
morose and melancholy, and wasted
away. The laEt few months he had
been but skin and bones. Two genera
tions of Parisians who have ridden on
his back will mourn the loss of him.

AsoDEs OF ROUGH PEOPLE.
Markets the Natural Abode Of Strong
Language, Says Writer.

The unpublished phraseology, native
though not peculiar to this quarter Of
London, has given rise to the proven
bial use of the name Billingsgate. "One
may term this the Esculine Gate of
London" says old Fuller. Here one
may hear linguas jurgatrices." The
seventeenth century references to the
rhetoric" or obscene language of the
market are frequent, and hence foul
language itself is called "billingsgate." 4"
In Vanity Fair" too, Thackeray tells
US how Mr.. Osborne cursed Billings
gate with an emphasis worthy of the
place
1t is curious how markets are the
natural abode of strong language.
Thus the French equivalent for You

those of the Place Maubert," the Place
Maubert being noted for its market
In the good old days the Billingsgate
rorters seem to have thoroughly en-
i0yed themselves, for one Bagford
writing in Ills says, This being to my
mind another ancient custom that
hath been omitted of late years. 1t
seems that in former times the porters
that piled at Billingsgate used civilly
to entreat and desire every man that
passed that way to salute post that
stood there in a vacant place. If he
refused to do this they forthwith laid
hold of him and by main force bumped
him against the post, but if he quietly
submitted to kiss the same, and paid
down sixpence they gave him a name,
and chose some one of the gang for his
godfather. l believe this was done in
memory of some old image that for
merly stood there, perhaps of Belus,
or Belin."
The original porters of Billingsgate
belonged to one of the oldest labor
guilds in the country, the Fellowship
of Porters, and at one time the carry
ing work both at Billingsgate and from
the wharves to the warehouses Of the
city within a certain radius was entir
ly performed by them.

LOVE STORY IN
CAREER OF THE
GREAT MIRABEAU

A book by Mounnier Faguet has
just appeared in Paris, giving the love
stories of some famous French
authors, and from them Les Annales
takes the fiery, overwhelming, dra-
matic, touching and unIovely story of
Mirabeau and Sophie MOunnier as an
example of the manner and method Of
the writer of these fresh reminis-
cences. Everybody knows that Mira
beou was hideous, but 1t is less gen.
orally realized that his eyes were
beautiful and his voice extraordinarily
fascinating. Moreover, though in pri-
vate his manners were coarse and
over-familiar, to strangers he was al
most too elaborately polite and cere-
monious. In addition, strength
strength of every kind-was the char
acteristic impression conveyed by
him; no one could be in his presence
and not feel the sense of a forceful
and dominating personality.

| Langdon's place on the evening of
March l, 1888, when Dunn entered.
From this point in the story there is
wide divergence in the alleged facts
Dunn, always vain and always boast
| full, gave a version to the effect that
he was attacked by Elliott and fought
him single-handed for half an hour
after everyone else had fled in terror
Elliott was more than six feet tall and
a giant in strength. Dun claimed he
shot his enemy only after the latter
had forced him to the floor and was
holding a cooked revolver against his
breast. The other side of the story is
that Dunn entered the place, found El.
lott sitting at table and, without
warning and without giving Elliott
any chance for his life, shot him.

Luther Latin Mills was states at
