ALPINE GUIDES.
Some Are Experts In "Snow and Io
 Work" Some In "Rock Work"

Some Are Exports In "Snow and IoQ
 Work" Some In "Rocl Work"
 Some of the Alpine guides are ex- perts in climbing. There are a num- Der who are noted for their skill in what the Alpinist calls ''snow and ice work" That means going up peak which has so many snow fields and glaciers that it's sides and summits may be nearly covered with them. The glacier guide can tell you all about "cOrnices'-snow masses which project from the edge of precipices and ,overhang the valley beneath like the roof of a house. Experience has told him whether a cornice can be crossed safely or whether 1t may break of if one ventures upon it. He Is also an expert with the ice ax car ried In his belt, cutting footholds in the glittering walls that may rise f1f- ty or a hundred feet above your head. These ice precipices are frequently found at the heads of glaciers, which, as the schoolboy knows. are merely rivers of frozen water slowly moving down the face of mountain on ac- count of the force of gravity and the great pressure of the ice masses which form their source on the upper part of the slope. Other guides make a speciality of ''rock work" conduct Sng persons up peaks which may be only partly covered with snow and ice, but having sides of bare rock so steep that in places the cliffs may be almost straight up and down. Here 1t would seem that one must be as spry and as sure footed as the chamois-the rare goat that lives up amid the Alps. While the crevasse and other dangers of the snow and ice fields may be ab- sent, the mountain may be so abrupt that the climber must ascend hun dreds of feet pulling himself up with arms aiding his legs, while often the guide hauls him to the top of the most difficult slopes by main strength.

rha anasian .Inka Taller.

Story telling and testing have d. ways been counted the favorite amuse- ments of semibarbaric people. To the first we owe the Arabian Nights'' and to the second the clowns. who were formerly the appendage of all great houses. In Russia the paid joker stin dourishes, and the people pay so much m hour to listen to bis jokes and witticisms. He provides himself with two or three hundred tickets, and. mounting a sort of ros4 trum, he announces that he is going to regale his audience with choice tid- bits of mirth provoking lore. He be- gins selling tickets at a penny each. and when lTe has sold enough to war rant his beginning he turns himself loose, and the audience remains spelE bound by his humorous stories for an hour or two. A recent traveller who saw a number of these 1okers in St Petersburg says, "I listened to them several times, and, although I could not understand one word the joker said, was sure from the way the au-
 iience greeted his stories with roars of laughter that the jokes were above the average"

Marrlaue Amonu the Aztaea.

The Aztecs, the most civilized peo pie of the new world at the time of its discovery, had curious marriage GUS. tom. The ceremony was performed by a priest, who took the hands of the bride and bridegroom, asking them if they would marry.
 He then took a corner of the wo- mans veil and the mans robe and knotted them together, and 50 they were led to the bridegroom's house. A fresh fire was then kindled on the hearth, and around this fire the priest caused the bride to go seven times. The welded couple then sat down to- gether, and so was the marriage con- tracted. An inventory was also made, which the father of the bride after ward retained, of all the man and wife brought together, of furniture for the house, of land, of jewels, orna- mentg and clothes. Then if 1t chanced that the couple were divorced Gas was common among the Aztecs when man and wife did not agree) they divided the goods according to the portion each had brought to the other, both man and wife having liberty to marry again whom they pleased. Of the children Of the marriage the daughters were given to the wife and the sons to the husband. It was enacted upon pain of death that the divorced couple were not again to remarTy.

A MANSFIELD FAILURE.
When the Famous Actor Painted ot
 Aunoep In ondon.

When the Famous Actor Painted Of Hunger In London. Mansfield was taken to the Savage club, where his cleverness was attest ed by the leading entertainers of Lon don. When Corney Grain was taken l sick in the spring of 1877, Mansfield was at once recommended as his sub stitute in the German Reed entertain ments. He was to receive E8 a week, This was 8 splendid salary for any young man as salaries went then or as they stand now on the London stage. To Mansfield 1t was a positive Windfall,
 As q member of this distinguished little coterie of entertainers Mansfield felt that his fortune was made. His whole interest. attention and hope now centered on April 20, the night of his debut. He was assigned the small role of the beadle in the comedietta "Char- ity Begins at Home," which opened the evening. After that he was to change to evening dress and hold the stage alone for half an hour after the manner established by Corney Grain. Every shilling he could scrape together went for a wardrobe, linen, boots, era. vat, a boutonniere and other fire pFoachable appurtenances,
 His friends crowded St. Georges hall for his first appearance. It was observed as he uttered the few lines of the beadle that he was excessively nervous. When later in the evening he sat down at the piano and struck a preliminary chord he tainted dead away.
 MT. Reed relieved him of his position lat once. In discharging him he said, You are the most nervous man have ever seen." It was not all nervous ness, however. Mansfield had not eat en for three. days. He had tainted from hunger.
 It was many year before he again worked up to the munihcence of E8 a week. but this pathetic incident was later made an asset as employed by him in an attractive little comedy of his own writing.-Paul Wilstach in Scrlbner's.

of Salt Lake for eighteen years. and
has become a citizen. He alleges that
he was assaulted by a mob of Syrians
who broke down his fence, smashed his
windows. frightened his wife and pun
melled him into submission. Further
more, he states, that one of the Syrians
was shot by one of his own country
men, and that a vendetta existed be
tween the men. Marine has bruised

and strange tobacco, Syrian dialect and

Syrian revealed. Yesterday afternoon
saw much more. The end is not yet.

proved their declaration that they would
save the public money in the matter OF
printing.
Ever since the American party has been
in control of the city affairs all Of me
city printing has gone to either the Trib-
une or Telegram, and most Of the notices
are inserted for 81 an inch, as shown by
the figures in the city auditors office.
Some OF the notices, those which run
for several weeks, are inserted for 90 cents
an inch, but on all work the county Will
pay only 40 cents an inch for the general
printing of notices.

scented for the printing Of the delinquent
tax list, the county cOmmiSsi )ners re-
jected all bids and ordered the county
auditor to readveTtise for the third time

quoted a price per inch and Others per
insertion. The commissioners will ask
that all bids be made for a flat rate per
name and description for this list The

BUNGALOW THEATRE.

Owing to the unavoidable detention at
| the frontier OF the Leon Morris company
| the opening of the Pantages vaudeville at
/ the Bungalow last night was not as great
a success as was expected. While the
management deeply regretted the loss of
| their best act at the first nights perform
ance, It was thought best to open as an
nOunced, and three local acts We're sub
stitUted- The Leon Morris company, in
| GLIDING La Belle Helene and her leaDing
greyhounds, viii appear tonight and the
! tull program will be given.
The leading number was the exhibition
| of Rivel and Deery, novelty gymnasts.
A number Of clever features not seen here
/ before marked the performance. and in
/ arm and extension work they are in a
/ class by themselves. Owing to the bad
adjustment of the calcium light some OF
| the most remarkable feats were not seen
/ to advantage by large part of the au-
/ dience. When all apparatus is in good
working order the vaudeville perform
ances at this theatre Will be much i'm
! proved.
La Loie Helene in an act of great
beauty The lance of Cleopatra" gave
an exhibition of pantomime dancing. II
was in three movements, Anticipation,
The Dance of JOY" and 1.-THE Death
Dance She is a beautiful. 1.-the crea-
ture, but at the last the dance de-
YelOped into a series of cOntOrtiOns. In
! parts II was a highly graceful and re-
markable exhibition. She used a live
serpent that gave a most realistic touch
/ 10 TIE SCties lie act was EEeltlIE StaGeQ
ard an Egyptian attendant added to the
| effectiveness.
The comedy offerings, Don and Thorn
son and Sampson and Douglas, were Up
/ to the standard. Sampson somewhat out
shOne the others in comic songs ana
| dancing, and Douglas, in their act, was
a fair second. One of the substitute num-
! Lers was Willard, the Man of Mystery"
WHO has been seen in Salt Lake before
Little Mile Williams, always a favor
| tie in Salt Lake, helped the bill along
wonderfully, and the management was
fortunate in securing her for the even
ing's performance. She sang in her usual
charming manner MY Rosary" Little
Johnny Rankin" and the "Airship Song
the last featured with the little maiden in
an airship singing in the clouds. No one
regretted the mischance that gave an op-
pOrtunity to near Miss Williams in these
songs. Willie Stafford and Professor
Schettler entertained in the opening num-
Der with mandolin and guitar playing
end were heartily applauded, especially
for their closing piece. The third of the
local talent offerings vas the singing bv
Miss Myrtle Ballinger of Twilight" an
illustrated song.
The Pantages are said to include on
their circuit some of the best up-tO-date
acts of the vaudeville stage and they are
promised to Salt Lake.
