TWO ATTRACTIVE PICTURES.
Harry SHIPPERS Panorama and His
Grand Canyon Scene Admired.

Harry Simpler has two pictures
among those constituting his display
In hall OF arts which are drawing much
attention, One is the panorama of Salt
Lake taken from the top of the Dooly
FLOCK. This shows all the prominent
features Of the city and in the distance
can be seen the surrounding mountains
The second picture is q bromide en-
largcmcnt of Il splendid view OF the
Grand canyon. This picture is an im-
mensc affair and one becomes almost
hypnotized by looking at it for several
minutes. The nile-deep canyon with
the turbulent stream winding at the
lotion seems to be real, the onloolier
easily imagines himself looking over
its edge. The thing is wonderfully
realistic.

When the case was called this morn

for the defendant, demurred to the

that some of the Austrians wanted him

half and strenuously denied all the
allegations set forth in the complaint.
He declared he knew nothing of plot

WHY SENT.
London, Oct. s.-The foreign office
and the admiralty have confirmed the
press cablegram from Malta, saying
that British warships have been or
dered to the Aegean sea. 1t is explained
that these vessels are sent out simply
to watch events, but it is understood
from other stories that Turkey lntim-
ated she would welcome the appearance
OF the British fleet as likely to calm
the population.
Lemnos is an island of the Grecian
archipelago about SO miles west of the
entrance to the Dardaneles. It be

Servian bands are being formed and di-@

roads and the bridges on the Bosnian
frontier.
SERvIAN SITUATION IMPROVED.
Vienna, Oct s.--Ofhcial advices re-
ceived here this morning declare that.
the situation at Belgrade, Serria, Is
improving. The general excitement
among the Servians is calming down.
In Vienna the fears of q war with Ser
via are noticeably less. The morning
papers, however, warn Servia not to
play with the fire, as Austro- Hungary
viii not stand any nonsense.
In spite of the official statement that
the dispatch of river gunboats from
Buda Pest in the direction of Belgrade
is only a maneuver. this action is be-
lieWed here to be a measure of pre-
bridges near the frontier by regiments
of infantry. The hope is expressed
that this will make an impression on
Servia and prevent that kingdom from
'precipitating hostilities.

Are Rushing for Tickets.

Cincinnati, Oct 9.--'rhe members of.
the National Baseball commission left
at noon today for Detroit to attend the
opening game of the worlds cham
pionship series, which begins there to-
morrow. No statement further than.
last nights official announcement of
the conditions governing the contest
was given out, but President Pulliam.
in an interview. talked entertainngly
of the championship race. He said:
at was the greatest race in the his
tory of baseball and the best team
undoubtedly won.
But there was great glory for other
teams besides the winners in the bat
ties that We're fought right down to the
last day.
''4All honor should go to the New York
team for the gallant fight they made
to bring the flag to Gotham.
With practically only two depend
able pitchers they fought their way
from lowly position to the leadership
in the race. holding that place for q
long time by a display Of gameness
and baseball ability that has rarely If
ever beer equalled in baseball.
"Pittsburg, too. deserves the limit of
praise for the fight made by It's repre-
sentative IN the national league. Man
ager Clark started the season With
only one regular outtielder. He also
tried four first basemen during the
season Yet, despite this handicap,
the team battled gamely and success
fully winding up the season only one
game behind the leaders and remain
ing in the fight until their last game
was played.
LAS for the Chicagoes, they are a
great game able team. No team in
the league suffered more through acci-
dents and illness during the season
than the Cubs. Yet they were never
discouraged. but We're always fighting
among the leaders. In the series with.
the Tigers. believe the Cubs viii
come off victorious again. However. In
all fairness | trust chat the best team
will win, and that there Will be no eX-
cuses to offer on either side after the
worlds championship battles are over
so far as the National league race
was concerned, 1t was the GREATEST,
