MUST CEASE SPLITTING ON WALKS;
CHIEF INSISTS ON OBSERVANCE

Splitting upon the sidewalks must
cease in Salt Lake
That is the mandate ISSUED yesterday
by Chief of Police Pitt The chief was
stirred TO this action by The complaints
of women, who have been caused much
annoyance by the unchecked practice
of eXpectorating upon the sidewalks,
which in some parts of the city has be-
come a positive annoyance.
1t was explained that the habit of
splitting uoOn the sidewalk is not only
but insanitary and a men
ace to public health. The skirts OF wo-
men are soiled, and when the Wearers
return to their homes they are cot My
forced to the unpleasant TASK OF
cleansing the garments, but also nave
to face the fear OF carrying into theil
homes the germs of dangerous dis

two boys and a girl. All wore panta-
looms, and the visitors departed not AT

the girl.
Mayor Chin Chin INVITED the young peo-
pie to have tea with him. They accepted
the invitation and each enjoyed a Cup
of the beverage. The mayor and his
spouse did not join in the tea-drinking,
because the party of ten used all of the
available chinaware in the Chin Chin
household.
When it was all over the young ladies
were breathless with excitement. They
had never seen anything quite like China
town before and did not expect to see
the experience duplicated in the future.
As the Chinese shOpkeepers were gen
erous in their gifts of candy to the young
ladies and cigars to the young men, the
party departed with a very high opinion
of Chinese hospitality.

Advocates of the enforcement of the
law against eXpectOrating upon the
sidewalks claim that if spitters are re-
quired to go to the curb, the flow Of
waters in the cutters viii in a great
measure carry away The gern-bearin&
sputum, and that this viii result in
greater safety to public health.
Even this is looked upon as but
step toward a perfect system Of guard
ing Salt Lakes citizens from the dan
ger of disease. Some of the rigid enc
mics of spitters insist that a ban
should be put upon all splitting in the
streets, and that the cutters as well as
the sidewalk should be kept clean
The Old system of allowing men to
spit whenever and wherever they de-
tired, it is claimed, made Salt Lake
sidewalks a nursery af many varieties
IF undesirable germs.

Just a Fish Story.

Forty years ago, when my father was captain of an East India trading ship while of the coast of Africa near the equator the ships carpenter was taken sick and died. He was sewed up in canvas, and with him were sewed his kit of tools and grindstone for ballast to sink him. Services were held and the body committed to the sea. /
 Four days later the ships boy fell overheard. and a great shark came up under the stern and swallowed the boy before he could be reached.
 The next day the shark was still fol. towing the ship. A shark hook was baited and put over the stern. and the shark was caught, but was so large 1t could not be taken on board, and they were obliged to shoot him. He looked so plump and large the mate. who was an old whaler, wanted to go over the side and cut the fish open. He was lowered over and cut a hole in the shark and was surprised to hear voices and on looking in saw the ships boy turning the grindstone for the ships carpenter, who was sharpening his ax to cut their way out.
 My father. who Is eighty years old. can vouch for this that 1t is fish story.-Boston Journal.

His Old coIleue Chums,

"Well. you can't go to Atchison on this train, so get off." "You get" came the reply, and as the brakeman was looking into the busi- ness end of a gun he took the advice given him and got" He went back to the caboose. and the conductor asked him If he had put the fellows off. "No," he answered. "I did not have the heart to put them of. They want to go to Atchison, and. besides, they are old schoolmates of mine." The conductor used some very strong lan- guage and then said he would put them of himself. He went over to the car and met with the same experience as the brakeman. When he got back to the caboose. the brakeman said, Well. did you put them off?" Nav. they're schoolmates of mine too.r-wellington CKan) News.

No Compromise Affected.

The ''hoss" replevin case of Crow, Wells and Lewis came on to be heard before committee of arbitration on Friday of last week, the proceedings in Judge Harbert's court having been side tracked to see if the matter could not be settled without fur ther Litigation.
 The board of arbitration con- sisted of Judge Butt, A. J. Cox and D. M. Stroud, who after set ting on the case for a whole day, like the Jury previously trying the case, hung up, no two being able to agree as to how the mat ter should be settled, aud the case is again referred back to the court.
 The predicament in which the parties to this suit find them selves calls to mind a simular case that originated in Liberty township about six years ago in which some hogs valued at s ome- thing over S20.00 were replevied, John Daily being one of the parties to the suit. The case drug along with hung juries, finally landing in the circuit court and before it was dispos ed of the costs amounted to more than $500, to say nothing of time and lawyers fees. If we re- member correctly, the bondmen had to dig up the cost.
