MORMON INHUMANITY

There is a man in this city who is a
polygamist; who stands high in the favor
of the authorities of his church, and who
would be pointed out to Eastern people
as living evidence of the malice and
falsehood which fill the hearts of decent
people when they denounce polygamy.
By his real wife that man became the
father of several children. Upon her
death and the assuming of power by the
second wife, the father drove every child
by his first wife away from home. He
gave one delicate child a little girl of
eleven years of age, to brutal farmer in
the country; that man sent the child to
tend stock on the mountains, and com
PEELED her to sleep alone in a tent on the
mountain side, where every night the
child suffered the agony of the damned
in natural childish fear. Now the child
States and Territories, and though this
child is here in the city, the unnatural
brute of a father has not called to see
her for seven months. And he is well
off, he has abundant means to provide
for his children, and were it not so. he
has two strong arms and could earn a
comfortable living for them. But the
shame of her place haunted the second
wife until the first wife died, and then
the hate which had been smouldering
through the years burst into flame, and
she determined that the presence of that
woman's children should not be a re-
proach to her and her children any
longer. And the father, embruted by
his former acts, having learned to think
of his children as he did of his calves by
different COWS, turned his heart against
his first-born, and drove all the children
which the wife of his youth had borne
to him into the street, at the bidding of
the woman who in that way sought for
a respite from the cries which her own
wounded womanhood had been assailing
her soul with for years. The foregoing
is no fancy sketch. The little girl who
was sent to the mountains alone to herd
stock and to sleep alone in tent onthe
mountain side, is right here, and can be
seen by any who are curious to investi-
gate the case-SdH Lake Tribune.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Arthur sent to Congress,
Monday, his annual message. 1t begins
by announcing that the foreign relations
ofthe Government were entirely friendly.
An agreement with Spain as to natural
ization certificates may be expected,
and the immigration of Swiss paupers
has ceased. A convention to stop law
lessness on the Mexican border and an
other relating to an international
| boundary between Mexico and the
United States await the approval of the
| Senate. The President recalls the war
between Chill and Peru, states the steps
taken and the position of non-interven-
ton assumed by the United States, and
deplores the rigorous exactions of the
conquerors
The President regards the rapid pay
ment of the National debt as cause of
apprehension, suggests the advisability
of abrogating all internal taxes save
those relating to distilled spirits and
recommends large reductions in customs
| duties and an extension of the free list.
He mentions the inadequacy of the Ma
tional Notifications, hopes that no River
and Harbor appropriations will be
thought necessary during the present
session, suggests that large grants for
internal improvements should be the
subjects of separate and distinct legisla
tive enactments or that the President
should be empowered to veto separately
any item in an appropriation bill. He
would oppose putting the telegraph I'M
der the control of the postal department,
favors a reduction of letter postage, and
says that if in the Star Route trials any
guilty persons escape it will not be for
lack of earnest prosecution.
The President dwells at length upon
the present methods of appointment in
the Civil Service and the burden thereby
placed on the Executives, sets forth the
fewness of his own appointments to va
cancies made by removals, and expresses
the hope that decisive action may be
taken to remove the evils of the existing
system. He would cordially approve a
bill which would effectually suppress
political assessments. The message re
fers to the grave questions relating to
the Presidential election and succession,
summarizes the Department reports and
congratulates the country upon its great
and general prosperity.

New Jersey has the credit of being the

New Jersey has the credit of being the
first State where bar-iron was made
from the ore. In 1874 iron works were
established in Shrewsbury, Monmouth
county; and from 1926 to 1776 many
forges were built in Morris county, some
of which are still operated. These
served valuable purposes to the Ameri-
can cause in the war for independence,
in the casting of cannon balls and other
implements of warfare. In 1915 Peter
Cooper, the almost centenarian, engaged
in the iron business at Trenton, and
erected the largest rolling mill at that
time in the United States for the manu-
facture of railroad iron. Now we have
immense mines of iron ore in several of
the New England States, while New
York is largely represented in the list,
some of the most extensive producing
mines being found in the Empire State.
Pennsylvania, of course is prolific in this
respect, and in most of the Southern
States, iron is produced in large quanti-
ties.

Congress convened at Washington on

Congress convened at Washington on
Monday at noon. In the Senate very
little business was transacted, and that
body soon adjourned out of respect to
the memory of the late Senator Hill, of
Georgia. In the House of Representa-
tives there was some little excitement.
The members who had failed of re-elec-
ton took the result loosely, although
there was now and then sour visage.
Speaker Kiefer appointed Mr.. Robeson
chairman of the committee to wait upon
the President with the usual official an
nouncement that Congress was ready
for business Mr.. Robson, the tele-
grams state, was in his rosiest manner,
and seemed to take his defeat gracefully.
After the reading of the Presidents
message, a resolution on Civil Service
Reform was presented by Mr.. Kasson,
of Iowa, and made the special order for
December 10th. Hon. John Hill, OF this
State, introduced a bill favoring two
cent postage. No other business OF mo-
ment was offered, whereupon the House
adjourned in memoriam of the late Con-
gresham Updegraff, of Ohio.

GREAT STORM PREDICTED

Professor E. Stone Wiggins, LII. d,
Astronomer Of the Canadian Finance
Department" has addressed letter to
President Arthur directing his attention
to the fact that he Ghe professor) had
announced last September the on-sweep
of great and destructive storm over
this country on the 18th of March next.
He says in his letter:
No vessel, whatever her dimensions,
will be safe out of harbor, and none of
small tonnage can hope to survive the
tidal wave and fury of this tempest.
As the wind will blow from the south
east, the planetary force will be sufficient
to submerge the lowlands of the Ameri-
can coast, especially those bordering on
the Gulf of Mexico and washed by the
Gulf Stream, while the air currents for
several hundred miles along the east
side of the Rocky Mountain range,
owing to the great atmospheric pres
sure in those regions, will spread uni
versal destruction.
The New England States will also suf-
fer severely from the wind and floods.
No point outside of harbor in the whole
area of the Atlantic, especially north of
the equator, will be place of safety; for
this will be pre-eminently the great
est storm that has visited this continent
since the days of your illustrious first
President.
In view of this event, therefore, take
the great liberty of representing to your
Excellency the advisability of ordering
all United States ships into safe harbors
not later than the 9TH Of March, till this
storm be passed.

On Thanksgiving Day a terrible trag-

On Thanksgiving Day terrible trag-
edy occurred at the Coliseum Theatre,
Cincinnati. The play was Isl Slocum,n
apicture of Californialife. Inthe fourth
act it becomes necessary for Ruth Slo
cum, the part taken by Miss Won Behren,
to save her husbands life, to allow an
apple to be shot from her head by her
husband. When the play reached this
point there was breathless silence in
the theatre. Every eye was fastened on
the stage when the pretty young actress
stood immovable with the apple upon
her head, while thirty feet distant Frank
Frayne the actor, was pointing the pol
ished rifle backward over the sholder.
He pulled the trigger, there was muf-
fed report, and Miss Won Behren fell
dead, shot through the head. This is
another warning that should be needed.
Such performances ought to be prohibi-
ted by law.

At the opening of Congress Monday,
Speaker Kiefer' desk was decorated with
a large anchor made of flowers and i'm
mortelles Hon. S. S. Cox, of New York
scanned the beautiful tribute carefully
and remarked that emblems of that
character were generally used at funer.
ais. Then the House laughed. One
member, defeated at the late election
also remarked that the House was a
morgue-full of dead men, as it were.
And this caused another laugh.

of the 36,761, ,407 inhabitants of the
United States and territories over ten
years of age, 4,923, ,451, or over 13 per

The number returned as unable to write

The percentage of illiteracy is at its
height in New Mexico, where it ranges
from 60 to 65 per cent. In Alabama,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and the
Carolinas the percentage is from so to

THE LEOPARD DOESN'T CHANGE HIS
SPoTs.-Some of the loudest takers
three months ago in favor of civil-service
reform were Democrats. The bulk OF
these same reforlners now are planning
how they can most speedily GUST the
present officers and replace them with
Simon-pure Democrats. Judging the
party by it's entire history, thinking
people were long ago convinced that
Democratic civil-service reform meant
filling all offices with Democrats-noth-

The Garfield Fair at Washington,
closed Saturday night, after eight days,
which were in the main successful,
though two days of poor weather proved
a slight misfortune. 1t is estimated that
the receipts will reach $21, 200 and per-
haps $4,000. This will give net profit
of several thousand to the fund. The
fund before the fair amounted to $16, 1872
of which $75OO is drawing interest in a
st. Louis savings bank, and the balance
is awaiting investment in per cent.
bonds in the Metropolitan bank.

The Democrats carried New Jersey at
the election in November by a bare two
thousand majority, and this in a year
when everything was in their favor
throughout the country. This indicates
that the Democratic party can be beaten
in this State when proper nominations
are made Next year with the nomina-
ton of such a man as Hon. John Hill
for Governor, there will be fair chance
for the election of Republican Execu-
tive, and thus secure control OF the State

Republican, at Washington, is a candl-

Senate. Mr.. Gorham is the man who in
the columns of his journal has repeated
ly insulted the memory of our late Pres
ident Garfield. He is also the apploglst
of the Star route thieves. The Republi-
can Senators will do the country favor
by promptly sitting down upon Gorham
and his aspirations. The people have
decided that men of his class must go to

CHURCH DESTROYED BY FIRE.

Shortly after three o'clock Sunday
morning, the M. E. Church of Glouces-
ter City, Camden Co., located at the cor
ner of Monmouth5 and Willow streets,
was discovered to be on fire, and by five
o'clock the beautiful edifice was a mass
of ruins. The flames were first discov-
cred by Mrs. Brown, the pastors wife,
and were issuing from the windows on
the east side of the building, adjoining
the parsonage. None of the furniture
in the church was saved, the handsome
carpetings, church organ, and the organ
used in the Sunday school room, to-
gether with the valuable library, being
consumed Most everything in the par
sonage was removed to place of safety.
The church records and the library of
Rev. Henry M. Brown were also saved
from the wreck.
The church which was of brick, had
seating capacity of about eight hundred
in the main auditorium, and about three
hundred in the Sabbath School depart
ment. The value of the edifice, includ-
ing the parsonage, was placed at about
$4,000, exclusive of the furniture, which
cost several hundred dollars additional
The property was insured for $4,000,
$4,000 on the church and 81, 900 on the
parsonage. The total loss on the church
will be nearly $1,000, exclusive of the in
surance, while the loss on the parsonage
is more than covered by the insurance.
The origin of the fire is attributed to
the heating apparatus, and no blame is
attached to any one, the sexton, Mr..
John Kenworthy, being a most careful
man, having occupied the position for a
number of years.
