IN M emoriam.

We. the women OF the Colorado
Woman's Club wish to offer a
tribute of love and respect to the
memory of Mrs. Julia Hoselton, who
on October 10. was called to her
eternal home.
Whereas, God in his allwise and
mysterious providence has removed
from our midst one whose presence
and helpfulness in our club we miss
so much. we bow in humble submits
sion to the will of him who doeth
all things well, trusting what we
know not now we shall know here
after.
She was a conscientious member
of the C. w. C. ever ready and will
ling to help with anything for its
good, and one whose example OF
helpfulness, cheeriness and kindness
of heart has won her the love and
respect of all.
May comfort from above be grant
ed the husband and dear ones who
have been bereft Of loved one.

According to an English newspaper

According to an English newspaper
Aldershot has been much excited over
the death of cat, and there will prob
ably be much conversation between
the Scots Guards and the North Stat
fordshires. The colonel commanding
the latter was riding down the lines of
the Scots Guards with two fox terriers.
There was bit of tiff between the
dogs and the cat with three kittens,
and the colonel threatened to kin the
cat. The cat was caught, but escaped
from the hands of three drummers Of
the Scots Guards, who were looking
after their pets. The colonel dis
mounted, caught the cat in the fork OF
a tree and killed 1t with his riding
whip. The case against the colonel
was preferred by the s. p c. A. The
Aldershot magistrates who refused to
convict the colonel said in effect:
Guilty, but don't do it again." Now
the question which agitates the royal
long-named society is, what would
have happened II drummer had
killed the colonel's fox terrier. Which
was the agressor?

The bureau of engraving and print

signs by Postmaster General Meyer
for new issue of United States post

each instance, giving bas-relief ef-

Laws in Direct Conflict.

The club women Of Chicago are puz-
zled over the question Of lawful cos
tune for working women. They point
out that only little while ago wom-
an in Chicago was arrested and fined
for wearing trousers while earning an
honest living as hod carrier. Now
they are informed that there has been
a ruling in the post office department
holding that women employed as mail
carriers must wear trousers. There
is a movement on foot to send dele
cation to Washington for. the purpose
of consulting President Roosevelt on
the subject.

Cheap Power Production.

What is probably the best record OF
steam power efficiency of which there
is any record is reported in the test OF
new type OF engine which originates
in Darmstadt. The particular engine
under test had capacity of 100 effec-
tive horse power. The steam con-
sumption per effective horse power
was determined as S.6 pounds, and
the coal consumption as 1.04 pounds.

the fuel cost per horse power comes
out as low as 0.22 OF cent an hour

College Men.

Neither in scholarship nor in fitness
for the business of life does the prod
uct of the great colleges of the pres
ent day compare with the graduates
turned out from the little colleges of
a generation ago. Then, it is true, the
boy with the diploma was often too
stuffed with Latin and Greek and phil
osophy to be much of practical man;
now he knows little about manners.
more about clothes, something about
"grinds," peaches" and ''profs," but
the sumum bonum of his knowledge
relates to drop kicks and line bucking.
The old type was better, says the
Washington Post, because, though i'm
practical, he had trained mind and
was Injured to discipline, whereas the
new product has gotten most of his
training in the ways of good time
College life is, or should be, period
of training which prepares the youth
for the business of broader life 1t
will not do to cultivate exclusively the
superficialities, which the atmosphere
at most of the larger universities is
doing. One of the reasons why men
who come up from rude walks Of life
without the benefits of education fire.
quently outstrip the college graduates
is because such men have trained
their powers through hard work, while
the college man has vitiated his tai
ents through overmuch play.

Worthy versu. Worthless Citizens.


A professor in the Andover Theo-
logical seminary once met man going
to the town meeting. Said the pro-
fessor: What are they going to bring
up at the meeting to-day, Brown
Brown replied, with snarl: Il dun
no what they're goin' to bring up, but
whatever it is, I'm goin' to oppose it"
The zeal of this particular citizen was
of questionable advantage to his town
Some socalled reformers have spirit
unfortunately similar, says writer in
Appleton's Magazine An Irish team
ster in certain New England town
hires man to drive for him when
ever the license question is put to
vote. He takes the whole day off. He
votes no license himself He gets as
many others as he can to vote the
same way A gentleman asked him
one day why he took so much trou-
BILE. He answered: Me boy died of
rum an | do what can to keep other
folks boys from dying the same way"
This ignorant teamster is a citizen of
the highest type. A gentleman of
high standing in the same community
boasted that he never voted at local
elections. He said: why should | go
through the farce of casting my bal.
lot? This town is run by a lot OF low
and corrupt politicians. My vote
doesn't count. I've no time for senti-
mental shams" This scholarly gentle.
man is citizen of the lowest type
He is stupidity selfish Were he intel
ligently selfish, he would protect his
interests as a citizen just as he pro-
tects his professional interests.

Clergy Forbidden Use Of sicyc,es.

Cardinal Couillie, archbishop OF Ly.
ons, has issued sterY prohibition
against the priests and clerical stu.
dents of his diocese riding bicycles,
holding that the practice is contrary
to the gravity of the priestly calling
and distinction OF conduct which
should mark the clergy. An appeal to
Rome, it is believed, would be fruit
less, for Plus x, when he was Cardi-
nal Sarto and bishop Of Mantua, took
the same step forbidding clergy the

sympathizes with those that are be-
reaved. passes resolutions. possibly in
diets somebody who is never brought
to trial-and again forgets.
When the country was startled by
the Iroquois disaster and it was learned
that hundreds of women and children
had lost their lives because the doors
of the theatre opened inward instead
of outward, a country wide crusade for
| outWard-sWinging doors was inaugu-
rated. City councils passed ordinances
on the subject. legislatures enacted
laws, prominent men gave out inter-
views. Then everybody forgot; that is,
everybody except the relatives and
friends of the women and children who
lost their lives in the Iroquois disaster.
And presently their cries were stilIed
little opera house in small Penn
sylvania town burned one night. When
the debris had cooled sufficiently, near
~ two hundreds bodies were taken out
of it. The fire escapes weresinadequate
and the doors opened inward Again
the wave of horror, again the loud
outcry, again the indignation, the reso-
lutions, the ordinances, the indictments
that never come to trial. And again
the public forgot. this time even more
quickly than usual.
For, grass had not grown on the
graves of the Pennsylvania victims
when school building near Cleveland.
o.. was destroyed by fire Agonized
parents, seeing the flames and the
smoke, hurried TO the building and ar
rived only in time TO have their hearts
torn by the most appalling sight their
eyes had ever witnessed. They saw
their children burning to death, they
saw them suffering torture unspeak-
able-because the doors opened inward
and there were no fire escapes. Anoth-
er tragedy of forgetfulness.
So it has gone. and so it will go. In
spite Of all the pleading, ali the warn
ing, all the means of the dying, the
lamentations of the bereaved. There is
sort of fatalism about it. There does
not seem to be such a thing as contin-
ued wakefulness for the public con-
science. And yet there should be such
wakefuiness. 1t means so much to the
public, so little to the men whose duty
IL is to safeguard the public
The Herald hopes the local authori-
ties will see to it that every hotel and
every public building. every school
house and every theatre in Salt Lake
City, from the most important to the
least important. is thoroughly equipped
with fire escapes, with Outward-swing-
ing doors and with every other appli-
ance necessary for the protection of
those who dwell, have business or seek
pleasure within. 1t is the stitch in time
that counts.

of contents, and he began TO chuck
over the use that he saw that he could
make of them. Daggett told me that he
called for Clemens to go TO the brew

write-up read the copy as it was pro-

wrote anything funnier than that story.
The next day was d busy one and
Clemens did not have a chance To look
at his story until the edition was run
