ado Springs did dwell

In Colorado Springs did dwell
Once on time dasning belle,
Whose name was Hannah Hunniwel.
A blooming buxOm lass YVES she,
And she wss sweet as sweet could be-
So oil the fellows did agree.
But Hannah Hunniwell was vsin;
That fact. alas. WAS all too plain,
Aud caused her family much pain.
For Hannah laid uncommon stress
Upon the vanity of dress
A weakness OF her sex, We guess.
She had a lovely sealskin sacque
That often grSced her cOmely back.
And sealed her doom at last, alsckl
For when the winIy winds did How,
Proguostit auDg ice and snow.
Unto her trunk did Hannah 90.
And straight she hauled that seGlSkin out.

She put the nois0me moths 10 rout.

Alas, the poor, MISGUIDED child

Was lulled into zephyr mild.
Then Hannah waxed uncommon pale,
And walled great and gTievous vail
TO see her pet ambition fail.
Much to her family s oismay.
she stayed at home day after day,
Aud, as she stayed, she pined away.
And still the weather milder grew,
The gentle south wind balmy blew,
And warmed the people thro' and thro'.
And while all other folks were glad,
Poor Hannah Hunuiwell was sad
Or, what was sadder ct. was mad.
And so one calm, soft eventide.
She pressed her sealskin 10 her side,

The chattering gossips love to tell
The fate Of that vain, foolish belle

The Great Mormon Temple.

SALT LAKE, Nov. 1O.-The last stone of the
setting upon the Mormon temple wall was
put in place to-day. There have been in all
six courses set during the present season,
which includes the turning of forty-two
arches. About $500 tons or stone
were laid this season. The walls are
now ready to receive the roof timbers
and stand eighty feet four inches high
and are six feet thick at the top
The battlements are to be carried up some
twelve feet higher, and will be two feet two
inches thick except at the buttresses, where
they will be three feet six inches thick, The
roof will not be commenced for some time
as the walls are sufficiently strong to sus-
tain themselves for an indefinite period, and
any change in the. hosting apparatus would
involve considerable outlay, consequently
the towers will be carried up considerable
distance without any change of machinery

masses, the Monsignor said: "Bofo,e Luther
was born the Catholic Church translated
the Scriptures into the language which
was the mother-tongue of all people
of learning" He argued that Christianity
does not depend alone on reading the Bible.
During the first three centuries of Christian
ity there was no New Testament. The Cath
olic Church says: Read the Scriptures, but
do not place your own Interpretation upon
them" 1t is said the Chinese, when sud
denly attacked in a certain place with oph-
thalma, ascrbed its origin to the fact that
bridge had been built across a stream about
that time, and destroyed it, To say that
Luther was the cause of progress learning,
and the growth of human liberty, was to
reason with equal force. In conclusion, he
begged his hearers to look at this matter in
the light of history and reason, and not
bIindly follow the shibboleths of prejudice
repeated by four centuries

Professor Auchev,s yindication.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 10.-Some months
since this State was startled by the an
nonncement that Professor Aughey, of the
State University, had committed forgery.
At meeting of the regents he rendered his
resignation. The Professor stated to friends
that he had been the victim of man who
owed him money. He told long intricate
and improbable story about the mysterious
individual who had duped him. This was
regarded universally as subterfuge, almost
everybody believing him guilty. Ata sup
elemental meeting of the board of regents
held in this city to-day Professor Aughey
introduced evidence clearly establishing the
existence of the pretended friend and his
own innocence The case is regarded one of
the most strangely romantic in the annals of
Western incidents 1t is the sensation of
the hour.

ROME Nov 10.-The Lutheran celebration
was observed to-day in all the Protestant
communities of Italy. To commemorate the
event La Rassegna, powerful organ certain.
ly not tinged with Protestant sympathies,
publishes to-day remarkable article alluding
to the dictum of a cotemporary that Luther
could never die. because his writings and
works were the work and writings of the liv-
ing spirit of God. After setting forth how
yenal religion had become in the sixteenth
century, it says: Luther rises up against
this system of barren Journalism. He shifts
the center of gravity of the religious life
from the hierarchy to the individual con-
science. His watchword is, The just shall
live by faith 70 the authority OF popes
and councils he opposes the Bible; to

science, and the outcome of this pru-
ciple is the reformation, together with
liberty and conscience. Luther gave the
world liberty. He thought conscience and
liberty the twofold basis of modern life-the
twin inspirers OF all poetry, philosophy, art
and literature worthy of the name" In
conclusion it traces to Luther's attack on the
spiritual power of the papacy the final over
throw of the temporal power, and dwells
eloquently on the special debt of gratitude
which free, united Italy thus owes to the

CELEBRATIONS ABROAD.
The Reformer's birthplace and the Church
in Which He Preached.

IN which He Preached.
EIsLEBEN, Nov. 1O.-Four hundred years
ago to-day, between IL and II o'clock at
night, Martin Luther was born here. On the
following day the ceremony of baptism was
performed by mass and priest, when the
child received the name OF Martini after the
patron saint of that day Sxty-three years
later, on the 18th of February 1547 the great
Reformer died here OF all the towns and
villages throughout Protestant Germany
where the memory of his birth was celebrated
to-day none can vie in importance with this
little place, which was the beginning and
end OF the Reformer's life.
Esleben, which now numbers some /. 800
inhabitants, is an ancient town, having been
already in existence before A. D. 1000. Its
chief points Of interest are naturally above
all others the two buildings in which
Luther began and ended his life. The build
ing in which he was born is commonly
known as Luther's house. 1t is small two
story structure, with high gable-ends in the
large Case or Luther-strasse, not far from
the postoffico. Above the door is a relief
representation of the reformer. In the
popular belief the house was formerly con-
August 16S9 by which the upper story was
destroyed, but four years later the damage
was entirely repaired by donations from all
parts of Germany.
Luther's birth-room, however, in the first
story, was actually proved incombustible,
and remains unscathed to this day. The
Luther relics preserved in the house include
his oval writing table and SEAL showing q
heart and cross in rose, A wedding-ring
also shown here is the only copy of the we'll
known original, with a crucifx and the in
scription doctor Martin Luther, 1926" The
rooms of the building, which are now used
for a school for children, are decorated with
a number of interesting old paintings or
eptaphs the largest of which represents
Nebuchadnezzar, by Lucas Kranach. 1t is
some ten feet wide, and the center figure of
three three men en- in fiery oven protected by
painting shows ancient Esleben with the
resurrection of Lazarus in the foreground,
with portraits of Luther, his wife Catherine,

Luther at Westminster Abbey on Sunday.

MADRID, Nov. 10-The fourth centenary
of Luther was kept to-day in Spain by ma
tive Protestants at Madrid, Seville, BARGE
Iona and about dozen other places where
congregations and schools exist. The Prot
estant clergymen had prayer-meetings and
services this evening in the Presbyterian
Chapel, and discourses were delivered on the
work of the reformation. The schools in
Madrid include 1 200 children, and there are
adult classes for both sexes at night of several
hundred under native German, Swiss and
English teachers. In Barcelona there are
nearly 800 children, and adult classes and
four chapels we'll attended. In the rest of
Spain there are forty congregations, and
from fifty to three hundred Bible societies
and missions. Under the Sagasta cabinet
and the present ministry Protestants enjoy
more toleration than in the first years after
the restoration. To protestantism in Spain
the only recruits are converts from the lower
classes and few middle class people.
