''IN DREAMLAND"
 PLEASING SKETCH
Unique Electrical Effects Help Novelty
 of Playlet.

Enarnet Devoy & Co.,, in a dramatic fantasy entitled "In Dreamland," pre- startlingly original sketches ever wit messed at Polls before large audi ence of frst-nfghters, last night. The sketch elaborately staged and includ- ing some bewildering electrical effects, tells an amusing story, having to do with Bob Hammond, his wife, the of- flee boy and the daughter of Venus. Hammond inclined to be f1irtatious and wife's feelings lies down on a couch, after domestic spat and falls asleep. The daughter of Venus. clothed in raj ment befitting a goddess of the skies, Bob through the sprouts with a fire emitting wand. The electrical novel; ties are truly surprising in this scene. Finally just as a tragedy has occurred in his dreams. and he has shot his wife to death for planning to elope with another man, Hammond awakes from his nightmare, a repentant and thoroughly Toured" man. The conn edy in the piece is well timed and ed by Hermine Shone, a clever and beautiful actress. and by a good com pany. Mile Fregolia is the added feature this week. The petite French woman offers a protean act running about fifteen minutes, during which time she makes nearly forty costume changes, and portrays nearly a score or Q1nerent CnaracterS- The act was amazing to say the least, and it was difficult for many in the audience to believe that but one woman interpret ed all the characters. award & Curran, the old favorites, in a new version of 'The Terrible Judge" were warmly received. This team has not forgotten how to make folks laugh and they were at their best last night. A. C. Duncan gives a clever ventrilo- quial act using mechanical dolls.
 Luce & Luce are very good in nov city instrumental musical act. Les SilVas in a ladder balancing stunt are sensational and give the audience bunch of thrills.
 Cooper & Brown in a Hebrew and st-aicht skit are clever.
 The pictures at the close are new and interesting. &

NO ATTACK UPON
 THE EX-PRESlDENT
"Nonsense to Send ont Such a Story
 Says Mir. Roosevelt at the Azores.

Porta, Azores, March 3O.-Ex-Presi- dent Roosevelt took occasion during the few hours that the steamer Ham burg stopped here en route to Ma pies, to express his indignation over the reports cabled from here that an attempt had been made on his life on the Hamburg by an insane Italian named Giuseppe Tosti, a steerage pas senger. Its nonsense to send out such a story MT. Roosevelt said with characteristic energy. "The man may have made the remark credited to him, but I never saw him and didn't know anything about it until the poor fel- low was put in irons"
 The Hamburg's captain also minim- ized the Tosti affair and it was by his orders that none of the correspond ents were allowed to send back a wire less message concerning the incident. Not until the Hamburg touched at this port and a telegraph office available was the news sent out
 MT. Roosevelt never appeared in more robust health than when he came ashore here. The weeks compara- tiev inactivity aboard the Hamburg has increased his weight slightly des- bite the fact that he is undergoing a rgeime of two meals a day but he says he will quickly reach his '.real fighting weight when he reaches Africa.

TO SETTLE TROUBLE
OVER THE AQUEDUC1
Councilmen Submit Proposition
to Mayor Bransford Regard
ing the Contract.

"A number Of councilmen have pre-
sentcd proposition to Mayor Brans-
lord which will settle the trouble with
Davis e. Hcuser over the completion Of
tho North Temple street aqueduct, work
on which has been at standstill ever
since the recent floods in City creek.
The proposition is to make a new con.
tract with Davis g. Heuser for the com
Rletlon Of the aqueduct only to Ninth
West street, instead Of running il on
to the Jordan river, an additional 1900
1eet. Beyond that point it is claimed
that there is good canal, which is
capable OF taking care of the waters of
the stream. The money which would
have been used for running the aque-
duct to the river will be used in fix
ing up the banks of City creek to the
mouth Of the canyon, The matter was
talked over yesterday by the mayor and
Mr., Hcuser and it is believed that the
proposed settlement will be satisfactory
to all concerned. 1t is probable that
the board of public works and the coun-
ell committees Will consider the PROPOSE
ton during this week.

about $52 ,lsS, Cos. which is an increase
of S3,lS7 ,432 over the assessed valua-
Llon of city property last year. This
Will mean an increased revenue to the
city of approximately $4,000, which
may avoid the necessity of increasing
the city tax levy, which was Is mills
last year, The county commissioners
have already announced their intention
of increasing their tax levy and the city
board of education will also ask for Il
slight increase for school purposes
The work of completing the assess

III the assessment of the Rocky Noun
tain Bell Telephone company.
The valuation of county property this
year is $65,373, ,705, which is an in
crease of $3.50, 1893 over the assessed
valuation of last year. This will give
the county about $4,000 additional
revenue, but that amount will not be
sufficient on account of the new iail
being constructed. Hence. the county
commissioners will have to increase the
county levy.
The city board OF education estimates
that it will need $735 900 for school
purposes the coming year. as compared
with S65O,000 for last year It will
also have TO ask for an increased levy.

UTAH SILVER PROPOSED
FOR BATILESHIP UTAH
Proposition Is to Use Utah
Metal for Silver Service
Upon the Vessel.

The suggestion has been made, and
tho subject is now being considered by
Governor William Spry, that the silver
service which will be given by the state
to the battlcship Utah, now under con
stluction. be made Of Utah silver. The
chief executive will call the attention
of the people OF the state to the sub"
Ject in the near future
In this connection 1t has also been
suggested that the various mining com
panies Of the state would gladly donate
n sufficient quantity of the white metal
TO make the complete service. This,
ii is considered would be n wonderful
advertisement of the state : mineral
wealth and it would he eminently be-
fitting that the ship Utah should carry
4 silver service made of Utah metal.
Governor Spry is at present in cor.
respondence with several of the largest
silversmiths in the country for the pur-
pose of learning the probable cost of
such Il silver service. Sufficient time
has not yet elapsed so as to receive
replies, but when the figures are re-
ceived largo and influential commit
tee, representing civil and official life,
will be named to secure the necessary
funds for the manufacture of such Il
service that will be an honor and a
credit to the state and to the navy.
Such a silver service as 1T is contem-
plated to give would cost. it is believed,
between $4,000 and $l2,500. In the
event that the silver used in its manu-
facture is donated by the mining com
panles. an amount equivalent 10 the
market price of the silver at the time
of manufacture will be deducted from
the contract price of the manufacturer.
