A man in Chicago theatre cried
"Brava" at the leading actress, and
she liked it, but when another and
intoxicated admirer shouted "Bully
for you, old gal" and "You're daisy"
she stopped acting and demanded his
expulsion. Four ushers undertook
the task, but he laid himself on the
floor, put his arms and legs around
the seats, and was immovable until
they pried him loose with broom
handle.

Defiant attitude of the Mormous

Salt Lake Correspondence of the N. Y Herald
The new Mormon Tabernacle, which
has been three years in course of erec-
ton, was opened on Saturday by the
Saints in conference which contin-
ued till yesterday afternoon, during
which the supporting priesthood re-
newed their covenants to preserve the
faith, institutions and fame of the
church. Before the close of the SER
vices Apostle President Taylor at

verely censuring the nation for oppo-
sition to the choice institution of Nor.
monism, which, he maintained, was
a divine institution, saying the Lord
had told him so and made him become
polygamist. Now he wanted to see
whether Heaven or Uncle Sam was
going to prevail; for his part he was
going to stick to the Lord. He insist
ed that polygamy was the true exercise
of the Latter Day faith, and defed
the United States to abolish it. He
ave-red that no nation on earth could
prevent it, nor all the nations combin>
ed. The tabernacle was crowded.
He called for an expression from the
audience, which embraced FIVE thou
sand people at least, asking them to
raise their right hand before God if
they sympathized with him in his de-
fisnce of government interference.
The enthusiasm was intense. All
hands but one went up. Mothers
even lifted aloft the hands of their
children. Apostle Joseph t. Smith
followed. speaking in the same strain
and exhibiting the same defiant atti-
tude. The whole affair now SINNERS

Hays and Congress submit to this i'm
