Fikes, Hendy and Sorenson have recently purchased and erected a street lamp on east Third street for the covenience of themselves and neighbors. The lamp makes a very good light, and it is understood that other private parties will erect lamps of the same kind if the city will agree to fur nish the fuel and have the lamps attended to regularly. As there is not much show of securing a sys tem of electric lights, we believe it would be well for the cily to pur chase a sufficient number of these ! lamps to light the business streets, and also accept propositions to f ur- 1 . , fpi fnr nnrl rnk-p rn rp nf snrri mps as private individuals may ! desire to erect. In case the city 1 , , t should purchase the lamps, and an electric system afterward should be put in the lamps could be re moved to the outside streets on which electric lights would not be used. In this manner the city could have regular use of the lamps until wtfrn b"ut. P. W. Sitton visited his family in this city Saturday and left the same night for Ogden.

It is a delightful refreshment in this day when novels of physi cal purpose and plays of abnormal immorality have had their turn in crowding clean humanity to the wall, to see a healthy reaction in the shape of a play dealing with woman's love and man's prowess. Mr. Kester has given us in "Nell Gwvnne" a historical play, con taining most delightful touches of comedy and tender and beautiful bits of pathos, and beneath the polished speeches, pretty glints of truth and humanity. The dialogue is well written and the interest ad mirably sustained. Mile. Rhea, in the title role, is given ample room to show her great ability. From the scene in the first act, where she meets the King and un aware whom she is addressing, gives her ideas of his royal majes ty, to the end of the play, Rhea gives a lustre to her work, which can be equalled by few actresses on th& stage.
