BEIQHAH XOUKG A SMART MAN. Mormons Still Strong Politically Throarh- oat Utah', and They Claim the Next Governor. JL GREAT DEMAXD FOE FEE1GHT CABS. la XnxUth Entfneer Says Fitttbnrr'8 Kew PostoffiCe Can't be Surpassed. A Pitlshurger who paid a visit recently to Salt Lafce City, gives the following as some of the observations he made: The claim of the Denver and Kb Grande road that it is the grandest scenic route in America is conceded by all travelers who go over it. The wonderful manner in which the little narrow cause threads its way through the P.oyal Gorge, or the Canyon of the Arkansas and the Black Canyon, and climbs the perilous heights of Marshall Pass are the wonders of the world as re markable engineering feats. Marshall Pass is over 10,000 feet high, and it is a com mon saying during the summer months that you can roll snowballs on the summit with one hand and pick strawberries with the other. This apparently impossible feata can be performed in several places in the TosemiteV"alley, jnst as there is a spot on the Yellowstone lake, where you can stand in one place, throw a line into the lake on one side of you, pull out a trout and cook it in a boiling spring on the other side, with out taking the fish off the line or moving in yonr position. These stories are always discounted by even the disingenuous travelers, until they see them actually performed. EVES MOKE INTERESTING. But there is a point on the Denver and Bio Grande that is more interesting to the student of human nature and history than the high mountains and the wild, pictur- esque scenery. It is the city of Salt Lake, the capital of. the Mormons. This munici pality is now in the hands of the Gentiles, . but some of the best of the latter admit that it had to be done, so they quietly -and shrewdly stuffedthe ballot box. The Terri tory of Utah at large is strongly Mormon, and the trreat Utah Valley, which was transformed, by irrigation, from a sandy desert into a beautiful farming country, is dotted with the pretty homes and fruitful acres of these polygamous people. The Mormons claim the next Governor, and the Gentiles concede to them, at pres ent, a good working majority. The back bone of the church, however, 'received a rude shock when the Edmunds bill was passed, and since then it has practically been broken. It is now only a question of time until this strange sect will be a thing of the past. The law is rigidly enforced, and the manner in which the United States Marshals pounce down on the sly and un suspecting polygamist often makes that in dividual's head swim. It is a common sight to see a marshal walk into a train with a Mormon who has more thin the allotted number of wives handcuffed to his wrist. X remember one .Sunday evening seeing several marshals, with as many Mormons board the train at Ogden, on a branch of the Union Pacific road. a TILLING THE JAILS. The Gentiles say that the penitentiaries and the jails are full of these offenders, and that a long period of incarceration does not make them stop their iniquitous practice. It is the opinion of leading Gentiles, also, in Salt Lake, that polygamy is as prevalent as it erer was in the Territory, but it is an exceedingly difficult thing to unearth the violators of the Governmental laws. Sena tor Edmunds is most cordially hated by these people, and his life has been threat ened should he show his face in Utah. But the marked ability of Brigham Young is admitted by everybody. He was a shrewd Yankee, and a natural leader of men. An intelligent lawyer of Salt Lake, who knew him well, gave it as his opinion that if Brigham had not been a Mormon he would have been President of the United States. Tbe Gentiles claim that if Brignam" bad lived tbe practice of polygamy would have been abolished as soon as he bad dis covered the temper of the Government. The great apostle could easily have had another vision, and in which he would learn for the first time that that part of the church dis cipline must be stricken from the books. If this doctrine had been promulgated the faithful would be in the future as pure as their lives had been unholy in the past. "With the Mormon women, polygamy is a deep religious sentiment, and they firmly believe it is right and ot divine ordination. 'WHY THE DIFFEUENCE. President Taylor is an Englishman, and this explains toe difference between Brig ham and himself. He possesses all the stub bornness of John Bull, and he decided to fight the Government to his sorrow. The result has been the confiscation of much of their property, and the indications now are that Uncle Sam will claim the great un finished temple for a Government build ing, and a mighty fine one it would make. About $4,000,000 have already been spent on it, and Salt Lake conld then boast as its share of Peroral pap one of the most . magnificent structures in America. In 1849 the Mormons commenced to build it, and they have been working at it and levying tribute on the people ever since. To the tourist there is something sad and pathetic about the confiscation of the church property. The Mormons are an industrious class, and under masterlv leadership have atrassed fortunes. Salt Lake to-day is a modei city, and is a monument to the shrewdness and ability or these people, es pecially Brigham Young. The streets are 120 feet wide, and there is plenty of room In that town for healthy lung expansion. TfOEK ON THE TEMPLE. ' About a month ago the Mormons com menced to lay the stone on another of the 'big towers on the temple.

' The great Salt Lake is nearby the city, a beautiful sheet of clear, blue water, but not s vessel except a little pleasure yacht plows its main and disturbs the pretty white caps. Only the gulls and the sbouts of bathers at Garfield Beach during tbe summer breaks the awlnl, silence that enwraps it. Cut off from the Pacific Ocean, as geologists can prore.some mighty upheaval of strata in the past, it lies lonely, but contented, in tbe great basin between the mountains, and be comes more alkaline each year. CABS Iff GBEAI DEMAffD. Shipper Hoc Them Tenderly When They Get Hold of Them. "Confound it, I only wanted ten cars for a. man and I couldn't get one," said a clerk of the Baltimore and Ohio road yesterday. yThee days when a man gets hold of a car 'Mleaosaad unloads it, keeps it as long as IliTieas. and it almost breaks hisheart when luable are cars jurt at pres- fflHlwltNl it, so vsj ent.

We haven't the equip ment to handle the business.Mid the other roads are in a similar plight." PE0UD OF THE BTJlLDIirG. An Ehb1I.1i Eulneer Says the New Postofflce I Kot Surpassed In Europe. m Inspector Pattison, of the -Government building department, was found yesterday? at the Third avenue corner of the Central Hotel looking at the new postoffice. As he complacently surveyed the building a smile lit up his face, and be made these remarks to a reporter; "There is as beautiful a structure as there is in America. Notice the quadrangular shape, and then compare it with the public buildings in Philadelphia, They are stretched along one street between Market and Chestnut. The Pittsburg building couldn't have had a prettier location, though it should have been larger lo allow of broad approaches. "About three weeks ago an English engi neer was here looking at the new postoffice. He had been sent ont to make comparisons between European and American archi tecture. He told Mr, Malone that there wasn't a finer building in Europe than this one. The French have some magnificent Dublic buildines. and the .English in recent years have erected some great ones in India, but he gave it as his honest opinion that none ot them would discount the Pitts- bnrg edifice. I have never trav eled in Europe, but I know con siderable about foreign architecture, and I can indorse this engineer's strong and flattering opinion. ' The Government, by the way, in all first-class cities has built structures in keeping with their surround ings. Nothing on a small scale or unsub stantial is put up. It takes time to build them, but the people are always proud of them when finished." A new boom was put in yesterday, and the work of laying the stone on the east tower was commenced. About 26 feet re mains to be built. JJ0T OH" THKIK LIST. An Odd Story Told About One of the Modern Traction Ulnnnate. "You say Mr. Widener will be here Tuesday" asked a middle-aged gentleman yesterday, as he overheard a reporter talk ing about the coming meeting of the Pitts burg Traction Company stockholders at the Duquesne. "Yes. Do you know him?" "No; but his name reminds me of a little incident which caused a good deal of com ment among the'neiebbors." "What was that?" asked one of the party. "Well, yoi know just after the Philadel phia Traction Company got to working, Mr. Widener's bank account began to swell at a great rate, and he bought a large place di rectly across the street from tbe Ogontz school for girls, jurt out of Philadelphia. Well, he must have Bpent several hundred thonsand dollars in fixing tbe place up and remodeling the honse, and the neighbors commenced to talk about his enormous wealth, and the girls to wonder if there was a son or two in the family, how old thev were, bow they were to meet the men, just as school girls do. They were not kept in sus pense long, for Mr. Widener put in an ap pearance, and his good looking son started driving "tandem" round the country roads. The only trouble, however, was that he would not flirt, and the belles commenced to contrive means of meeting him. All kinds of things were thought ot, but none seemed feasible, until one of the most daring decided that she would sprain her ankle in attempting to get out of the road of his cart, and of course he would have to drive her home. All the plans were arranged, and a day ret, and the girls were all in a fever of ex pectation, talking on the lawn, when an other girl, who bad been down at the vil lage, came rushing into the little group and exclaimed: "He's nothing but a mean, nasty parvenu, a noveau richel His father's brother has just .hung out his sign as butcher at the Tillage!" ITEED THE ARCHITECT. BlcElfetrlck. tbe Oriclnnl Sinn, Will Now Build tbe Duquesne. Wemyss Henderson, Manager of the Du quesne Theater, registered at the Schlosser Hotel yesterday. He came on to see how the work was progressing. The old archi tect, McElfatrick, of New York, has been re-employed, and some of his men will be here to-morrow to go to work on the house. The contractors got into a row, and Mr. Henderson has dumped them all, and will finish the theater himself. He says they must fight it out among themselves, as the work cannot be delayed any longer. The front wall has been examined, Mr. Henderson says, and it will not come down. This fact will help them considerably. Everything has been amicably arranged and the house will be built. The bricklayers will commence Tuesday morning. CB0WDED WITH PEOPLE. The Streets, Theaters and Other Places of , Amusements Throng-ed. Pedestrians in the lower part of the city did not have to be reminded that last even ing was the first theater Saturday night. It was noticable everywhere. Smithfield street and Fifth avenue were jammed with people, who jostled along, some with bas kets, some with bags and some with "jags." The billiard rooms and other places of amusement were also crowded, and it is safe to say that not one table in the city was idle during the evening. Quite a number of people also walked down to the Exposition bnilding to get a peep at the work going on, and were angry when denied admittance by the officers. , FOB BEATING HIS WIFE. A Constable Looking for a Bad Wood's Bun Cillzen. A warrant from Alderman Callen's office in Allegheny has been issued for the arrest of James Elvnnigan, a puddler, who lives at Wood's Bun.

IT WOULD NOT SUIT PITTSBDEG, because People Occupy Company Houses, and Are Paid Monthly. INTERVIEWS WITH BEAL ESTATE MrfN A correspondent asks The Dispatch why the system of weekly rent collections could not be introduced into Pittsburg, in stead of monthly collections. In New York and some other American cities the propo sition is being debated. It is the rule in England and tnroughont the continent that the poor shtll pay weekly for their tene ments. American landlords, without the authority of law, compel their tenants to pay monthly in advance. Nothing could be more onerous to poor men and womeo, who earn too little to save much money. It is illegal to make a person pay for what he has not had, and not one of the aarelully drawn leases of New York ten ants, says a writer, would stand examina tion by a competent court To pay the rent weekly, out of the weekly wages, would be handier for all (concerned and protect the poor against many losses, annoyances and vexations. The landlords -need no protec tion. They have their rent in advance and their honses insured. A reporter of this paper visited several rent collectors and ob tained their views on the subject; ONETHO FAVOKS IT. At tbe rent collection agency of Alles & Bailey, on Fourth avenue, a member of the firm said: "This is the best idea I have heard ot for a long time. It is just the thing for Pittsburg. There are lots of peo ple who come in here perfectly honest, yet not able to pay their rents because they wait until the end of the month to pay their rent and then find that other bills swallow up the money. It's a dangerous thing for poor people to put off rent But let the system be generally adopted of collecting rents weekly and then it would train them into saying money for each week's payment It would prevent them from getting too far behind, and a person saved from debt is a person blessed. We agents would all profit by it, because while the clerical labor upon us would be greater our receipts would be proportionately greater. Of course, this idea would not chant e the monthly system for rents over 15 or 520, because when you get up above that figure you have a tenant wealthy enough to pay a year's rent in ad vance rather than be bothered with weekly collections. I would like to see the latter system adopted, however, for the benefit of the poor people." , ANOTHEB WHO DOES NOT. " Mr. William A. Herron, of the firm of W. A. 'Herron & Sons, real estate agents, said: "Ob, this system of weekly rent col lections is entirely impracticable in Pitts burg. Tbe better class of tenants would re fuse to be bothered 'with it, and as the cheaper tenants live largely in the honses of iron, steel and glass companies, and have their rents deducted from wages, it could not effect them. But above all that, we real estate agents could not put in force any such system. Jnst think of what a tremendous amount of additional clerical labor it would mean for us! Why even now tbe collecting of rents does not pay us. After you count up the cost of clerk hire, bookkeeping, collecting, etc, you will find that our per centage is nearly all gone. To increase the force of collectors in order to make weekly collections and to expand our system of bookkeeping to ac commodate weekly accounts instead of monthly ones, wonld mean a large increase in our office expenses. "Another reason why the scheme would not succeed in Pittsburg," continued Mr. Herron, "is that a great many people re ceive their wages and salaries monthly or else every two weeks. On our books are many tenants whose pay day does not occur Until the 10th, 16th or 18th of the month. THET HATE NO MONET for us until then and we are compelled to wait for them. How in the world could they pay every week? The monthly system is the most convenient all around. None of the lost rents could be saved by the weekly system for the reason that we would then still have to find the standing of tenants before renting to them. Bascslly tenants would still exist under the weekly system." 'James W. Drape, real estate agent, said: "I know this plan to be very popular in England. There the agents send their col lectors around to tenants every Saturday or Monday, and they receive the small install ments ot rent men. xn nas oeen tneir system for years. The people know of no other. But I do not imagine that it would succeed in this country, especially in Pittsburg. I cannot see any benefit to be derived from a change from the present system. Monthly rents seem to suit everybody here, and while a certain proportion of them are lost, there wonld not be much saving through the weekly collections. It would add to the labors'of landlord and agent and they get little enough now as it is." WHAT TENANTS SAT. , The reporter talked to a number of ten ants out along Second avenue. Thev were divided. One woman said: "We see enough of the real estate agent now. If he gets to coming around every week we'll make him sick of it. Another tenant out that avenue, however, thought he could be found with more money on hands if the agent called every week for rent He believed that one reason why he himself has such hard work to meet his rent is that the money goes for other purposes. He pays cash for many things and knows 'that the rent will not be dne for two, three or four weeks, and so lets all the money slip through his fingers. ''If the agent would come around every week," he said, "he would get the money before I spend it" Another tenant believed the weekly system could not succeed here, because the building and loan associations are "so popular, and the number of smaller tenants who are building their own homes is increasing every year. In other words, he thought tbe number of rent-payers in Pittsburg is small in comparison with London, and would not justify the introduction of the weekly system. XTCATTLLY THE LATEST. Another Democrat Relieved From a Good PostoSee Job. J. B. McCanlly, Assistant Cashier of the Postoffice, was relieved from dnty yester day, and retires from-the office with a good record. He was appointed during President Cleveland's term and shortly after the ap pointment of Postmaster McKean, he was relieved of the cashiership and made assist ant to Cashier Swift His successor as as sistant postmaster has not yet been named but he will be by to-morrow. Wants nil Silk Returned. Eva Woods of No. 9 Broad street. East End, will have a hearing before Alderman McMasters next Friday on a charge of larceny by bailee.

Advent of tbo Elderberry on 'Liberty Street Wnyn of Making; tho Hitherto Neg lected Fralt Bloro Populnr A Commis sion Merchant Who Didn't Get Left. The scarcity of fruilthis year may be the means of bringing the elderberry into a measure of popularity it has never before enjoyed. There are comparatively few peo ple who find it palatable, as it has a very rank flavor, and, though there are those who praise tbe wine made from it, the majority who drink it make wry faces and say they only use it for its sup posed medicinal qualities. As many people will be forced to use the elderberry or go short on berries, some inventive woman mav find some method of overcoming the rank flavor. It Is a berry that so far has stood the assaults of insects, frosts, and even the husbandman who makes war on H annually. There are three days in August in which the superstitious say cutting the stock will kill the root Some people are glad, this year, that the hardy annual has survived. A commission dealer orf Liberty street received a consignment one morning last week of nearly 100 crates ot elderberries. His neighbors laughed at him and supposed the dump would get the greater part of the consignment, but by" evening the dealer was smiling on both sides of his mouth, and in the center, almost the entire lot having been disposed of at 6T cents t quart. Since then they can be seen at frequent intervals along the street, and while slower sale than huckleberries, yet they move fairly well. It is said that if sweetened with honey, elderberries are quite palatable, and make a good substitute for those which nature re fused to supply this year, or at least very grudgingly. Some housewives mix with the elderberries they can for pie frnit a small quantity of stewed apples. A CAT IN THE SPRING Causes Clinton Puddler to Quit Work for Want of Drinking Wnter The Clinton Mill employes are just now in a peck of trouble. Last Thursday nearly 300 men in the puddling department were laid off for want of drinking water. The men have been obtaining their supply of drinking water from a spring, and Thurs day one of the number was horrified when he found a dead cat in the bottom of the spring. The animal had been in the water so long that it was ery badly decomposed. The men had been drinking the polluted water all this ttme. When the supply at, the spring failed, then they refused to go to work until it was cleaned out This was done and the men resumed work. Yes terday another mishap took place. A pin ion broke and now the finishing department is laid off and the men will be idle for two or three days until the machinery is again in shape. BELAMATEB Iff SEWICKXEY.

The petroleum fever has been a great boon to Coraopolis, and has done much toward its development since the first well was struck on the George Ferrie farm last spring, but at present the town is asked to take a streak of lean along with the fat. One of the borough Councilmen, Thomas F. Watson, according to the story told, stopped a ditch in some way so that salt water from a well on his premises overflowed the property of Captain E. B. Kendall. Salt water is a good thing in its way, but in large quantities it is not an agricultural stimulant, and so the Captain proposes to sue the borough, it is said, on the ground that it is responsible for Mr. Watson's acts in the management ot the highway, he being a member of the Street Committee. On the other hand, it is said that Burgess Alfred McCabe takes the ground that Watson's ac tion did not complicate the borough, -from the fact that the Council did not direct him to stop the flow and throw it out of the estab lished channel, and that in consequence the tort is his own and he is responsible for it. The story is also told in another way, and that is that Captain Kendall sued Watson and recovered, and that Watson then fell back on the Council, contending that the borough should be held responsible for his acts. Whichever may be the correct ver sion, there is a snarl that, in the desuetude of baseball gossip, gives people of leisure in the village something to discuss equal in interest to tne tariff or the Lodge bill. The borough having neglected to elect a legal advlser; gives large play for the exer cise of guessing as to the legal status. In this connection a friend of a Councilman, who was said to have favored Arch Kowand, says that Bowand is not the bone of conten tion at all, but that there is a dark horse in tbe stable that will be entered for the raee whenever it is made. Communicated. , The Choice of the Pejpli". Seldom in the history of politics have the people taken such an interest as in tbe pres ent Congressional fight in the Twenty-third district. A round taken among the mer chants and business men has developed tne fact that beyond qnestion Mr. Shiras will receive the nomination. The feeling for Shiras seems to be the result of the disgust felt by the people at the attempt of Stone to capture the nomination without going be fore the people or receivinga single vote." And this coupled with the fact that Stone's onlv supporters are the politicians about City Hall, Allegheny, who think their own ends well subserved by the nomination of Stone, have aroused the people. So that there is a settled determination to see that time, however, it may have been in the past, that the voice of the people shall be heard at the polls, and that voice heeded by the nomina tion of SSiras, who is tne people's candidate, and that their representative in Congress for the next two years shall be of their choice and not that of the politicians.
