Il the Church or Ghe LAtter-Day Saints.
Several weskz ago FIVE of the daughters
of Brigham Young, late head Of the
! Mormon Ohurch, were expelled from the
church for the crime OF having gone to
| law With certain Of the brethren who Of
tempted to rob them. Afterward the
| eIdeFG wishing to make peace with the
expelled htgants, sent a couple Of
teachers" to interview them. They re-
paired to the residence of Miss Dora
Young. What occurred there Is told by
the Salt Lake Tribune, as follows:
ffWe want 30 see, Sister Dora, If you
viii not come back to us.
t4 have received note calling on rna
to appear to answer charge; what would
you ao"
''Oh," replied Brother Morris, II
should go by all means-by all means. "
'tBut I won't do that" replied the
heiress, 'tnot for the world. +"
''Oh, come now, Sister Dora, don't
say that II you have done anything
wrong It will be forgiven"
eyes, but I haYn't done an Aing
wrong. What have I done2"
''YoH had suit with your brethren
didn't your"
'fXes, and wish to graz as I had an
other one"
'fWhat, with the brs' Gren2"
'fYes, with the breF 4renP"
Don't say that, IAster Dora; we don't
want to burt yow ceilings, but"
'tAnd I don't want you to hurt my
feelings. If you do you'll go out Of my
house good deal iYelier than you can
In. I have stood just as much from tie
MorncnE as intent to bear, and if you
two offend me any way you viii go out
Of that door which carpenter put there
for Just such people"
''Oh, We don't want to hurt"
'TWeIl, then, don't ask me to return to
the church; you can't insult me- worse
than by requesting that"
Sister Dora, think of your father and
mother, and"
Morris, +" she interrupted; ''you and the
prophet though you called him, broke
many woman's heart. If it is required
of me TO break as many hearts and ruin
as many women as my father did,
should go to perdition before I would go
back into the church again, and"
"Oh, Sister Dora!" exclaimed the
teacher.
'Its fact, and you know it is q fact.
You know that many Of his wives died
of broken hearts, and how did he leave
the rest2 Look at my mother and look
at all the rest of the1al A religion which
breaks women's hearts and ruins them is
of the devil That's what Mormorism
does. Don't talk to me of my father;
bat III tell you one ching, if my father
we've living at present Won wouldn't dare
to do what you are doing now. You
wouldn't have stolen our money from us
either You profess to regard my father
as a prophet, and yet you have John
Taylor standing il my fathers shoes,
when you know he is the worse enemy |
my father has ON earth. And around |
him are gathered those brave apostles,
ell swearing against father, while in his
lifetime they couldn't be servile enough.
They are brave now.

WESTERN BLOODSHED.
A Horrible Affair in a Dance
House.

A special dispatch from Fort Robin
son, Nebraska, received at Chicago on
the Goth, says that terrible carnival Of
blood occurred in low den Of iniquity
near that post, the day before, in which
two men were killed, two perhaps fatal
" wounded, and several severely bIuis-
ed. Saturday night it appears there was
a large attendance of cowboys and sol
dIers in the place and half dezen lewd
women. Poor whisky and lively dane
ing soon caused bad blood. It began by
a drunken Mexican brandishing a rev0l-
yer and threatening to shoot the barten-
der for swindling him. A dozen cow
bows drew reVolvers. simultaneously 3
shot was fired, and one of them, Ed.
Collins, was wounded, having shot him
self while drawing. The dance was re
sumed twenty minutes after his body
was removed. Jim Joyce and desper-
ado named Page, soon got into rough
and tumble fight, however, over the pro-
prIetorship of girl known as Beaver
Tooth Nell. 1t ended by Page shooting
Joyce fatally. Sergeant Green, of Co
NJ, Fifth Cavalry, in attempting to dis
arm Page, received a shot which neces-
STATED the amputation of his leg. He
will probably die. The soldiers at once
retaliated by emptying their revolvers
into the Page crowd as they rushed ou-
on the prairie, The women scantily
dressed here returned from the roems to
| which they had Withdrawn and ran
screaming about the place, and the scene
that followed battles description. The
melee ended in a rough and tumble fight
between the cowboys and the boys in
blue, which would have resulted in q
terrible loss of life but for the timely ar
rival of the military from the post. One
of the females had an eye knocked oul
during the melee, while two cow boys
names unknown, were badly wounded
The murderer Page is in the guard
house and the soldiers threaten to lyncl
him.

Prof. Palmieri on Earthsuakes.

Prof Palmieri has been lecturin9 on
the possibility of foretelling earthquakes.
After mentioning earthquakes as known
and remarked in ancient days, he illus
trated the three signs of the coming
earthquake, which, from time imme-
mortal, have been popularity believed in
namely, the sultry, oppressive state OF
the atmosphere, the drying up of wells,
and the 7 mess shown by animals,
observing though these signs donot
always, yet -.oy undoubtedly " often, occur.
Prof PRlmieri went on to say that earth
quakes have no doubt shorter or longer
periods of preparation. The earth iR
never perfectly quiet for some time before
and after a great shock, but gradually
sinks into repose or increases in agita-
tion. The Professor believes that, by
registering the slight preliminary trem-
blings, and noticing their increase or de-
crease, it would he possible to foretell an
earthquake about three days in advance,
just as tempests are now foretOld If
connected system of seismographic sta
tions were to be organized-the different
stations communicating with each other
by telegraph-it would be quite possible
In most cases to issue warnings to the
threatened district in time, He scarcely
expected to live to see it; but he hoped
that, after he was gone, posterity might
benefit by such a system, universally and
permanently established. The seismo-
graphic stations should be erected by the
different Governments In quiet places,
where the ground was not liable to be
shaken by heavy railway trains. ns.-LO1adoa

"Reminiscences of Early Railroadlng.

Nj. J. Fl. Jackman in recent letter
shows khat, In the matter of speed, loco
motive engines of to-day are not greatly
superior 80 those of earlier times. BE
says "In 1910 Ross Winans, OF Balt4-
more, built locomotive for the Boston
and Worcester railroad It had q seven
foot driving wheel, and was intended fOg
very high speed. It had steel springs
to support the weight, and was fitted
with many new devices. 1 was sent to
Baltimore to look after the construction
and delivery of this locomotive, and also
10 study the matter of coal-burning,
which wss a new thing on roads in New
England at that time. ran the engine
for about six weeks, and should have
run her longer but from the fact of her
driving wheels breaking. They were
made entirely of cast iron, with chilled
faces. These broken drivers were re-
placed with imported wrought-iron
wheels, the first of the kind ever import
ed. The locomotive was named the
Carroll Of CaTroltons Its speed, under
favorable circumstances, was one mile In
| sixty seconds, the fastest ever ran 1t (;
the trial was not accurately noted, hay
ing enough to do to attend the machine,
and those with me were too much hus-
tered with the excitement to accurately
note anything. I have Travelled many
thousand miles ON locomotives since
that day in order to speed and,
| while I have seen 81, - high speed
made, still I have never seen the loco
motive that could lay right down to it
and outrun the Carroll of Carrolton.
In those days we had no power brakes.
and to run at such high rates OF speed
sometimes became dangerous, l re-
member one instance in the night time
of rounding a curve at about sixty miles
an hour, when danger signal met my
view; I shut off steam and whistled
down brakes, but they did not seem to
check me. 1 whistled again. Still the
speed kept up. / gave the third signal
| for brakes, and then reversed my en-
| gine, saying to her: DO your duty,
nay beauty, or In twenty seconds it is
good-by to yailroading.' We came to a
/ stand-still eighty rGds from train on
the main track, having run one mile and
quarter from the place where l first

The woman whs pretends to have
been responsible fo- the Boston swindle,
known as the Woman's Deposit Com
pany, claims to have been only an agent
for dozen men, who paid her $1eO a
month for her services. She refuses to
give the names of these persons, but
says they are eminent lawyers, clergy
men and the tlike. The latter half OF
the statement is not believed. Some o.
the cases of loss and calamity among
the depositors are very pitiful, although
Il is hard to convince some OF thein'
even now, that they have been robbed
they prefer thinking that their beneiae-
tors are slandered and prosecuted.

RnsgiaPs Dead Emrras.

Empress Maria, Of Russia, was the
daughter of the Grand Duke Ludwig T.,
of Hesse Darmstadt, and was born AH
gust s, 1924
Alexander III, her husband, rAet hel
first IN his travels through the continent,
when comparatively young prince, and
married her In 1841. The reign In which
she has participated has been a most
eVentful one IN the history of her adopted
country. She became Impress by the
accession OF Alexander in 1856. The
ukase OF 1855 granted pardon to a large
class OF the Polish exiles and changed
considerably the political complexion of
that element of Russia's subjects, and
the ukase of 1851 freed twenty-three
millions of serfs and made the Gar and
Czarina intensely popular with the lower
class OF people. The Cars picture was
regarded with superstitious love by the
people, while the national antagonism to
the nobility has caused various compi-
cations until the recent socialistic move
ments have again solidifed the union be-
tween the crown and the traditional
aristocrats.
The offspring Of the marriage of Alex
ander and Maria are the Grand Duke
Alexander, heir-apparent, married to
Maria Dagmar, daughter of King Chris
tian TX, of Denmark; the Grand Duke
Vladimir, the Grand Duke Alexis, the
Grand Duchess Maria, wife of the Duke
of Edinburgh; the Grand Duke Sergins
and the Grand Duke Paul.
The royal family of Russia is descended
in the female line from Romanof, Gar
in 1913, and in the male line from Duke
Karl Frederick Of Holstein Gottrop, the
union of these two families being one of
those diplomatic matrimonial strokes of
policy intended to unite the interests of
Russia with those of the Western States
of Europe. After 1870 other alliances
made the Romanoff family still more
Teutonic in blood, among which the
marriages with the royal houses of
Baden, Wurtemberg and Prussia are the
most notable.

nA Pleasure q wealth.

TA4 prosperous always say, With grave
shakes of the head, that ''mOney brings
little happiness, yet they seem to enjoy
It's possession, are proud Of it In various
ways, according TO character, use il
freely as q power, and viii not surrender
1t without the very toughest fighting A
complete surrender Of wealth, of the diff
ference between substance and compe-
tence or riches, is, except In a very few
cases of religious convection, the rarest OF
all forms of self-sacrihce. So different,
indeed, is the disconsolate talk Of the
well-to-do from their actual condition
that the world suspects them of little
hypocrisy, or of an intention to avert
envy by declaring, what Is unquestiOn-
ably false, the equality of all earthly
conditions. 'Dives Is sad with wealth"
sighs the man with too RstAe, 'Fbut how
I wish I had touch Of his complaintP
A few men, indeed, have boldly declared
the regrets of wealth to be Pretenses,
and have asserted with Macaulay, that
every guinea they acquire gives them
distinct and appreciable pleasure. he
was the most generous of mankind, but
he liked money, and avowed his liking,
as he would have avowed his liking for
pleasant bindings for his books. There
was solid truth In macaulay's idea, par
ticulariy as to earned money; but he put
his truth, as usual, a good deal too
broadly, nothing being ever quite so lit
tie complex as he imagined everything
to be. Very few men, indeed, part with
wealth voluntarily, because very few
have the courage to deprive themselves
Of any faculty or power they may here
after want; and few are without that
pride in it which any distinction tends to
raise; but we believe the constant depre-
citation of it's value in which the weL-of
indulge is not hypocrisy. They see, or
many of them see, failures in the effect
of their wealth upon themselves, and
even directly bad consequences springing
from it, which quite justify their shakes
of the head, though they are slow to ex-
plain, even to themselves, why the apple
tastes so ashy.-L01sdOa Spectator.

tn some business and would not be
able to get back before Tuesday
night. Instead Of going away he
secreted himself until night. He Ie-
turned to his house after bedtime.
and entered the room occupied by
Hawks in the rear part of the store'
which building was in close proxim-
ity to his residence. Here he DIS
covered his wife and Hawks togeth'
or, and drawing a revolver killed
Hawks instantly, and shot his wife
through the breast and abdomen

their bodies on the floor, and surren-
dered himself. Hawks was about
25 years of age, and Mrs. Allison
80. The young man was handsome
