church, though in different way, may
again become the power which it was

splendid triumphs of a living present.
And in addressing themselves to the
needs of the age, the clergy will be do

Mormons In Conference.

The ffty.thir semi-Annual conference OF
the Mormon Church met In Salt Lake few
days ago. Johh Taylor the president of the
Church, gave description OF the Church; it,
officers and their duties. Heber j. Grant, one
OF the new Apostles appointed last year, fol
lowed MIR. Tay lor, and zealously advocated Do
lygamy and tithe-pN ing. He said that after
the passage OF the Edmunds law, polygainists
prof, ssing 10 be good Latter Day Saints had
put away thtir wives and sent them 10 their
mothers. He had an utter contempt for such
men. He had more respect for Genties or

Latter Day Saints frightened by law passed
by Congress. John Taylor, president of the
Church. was the first TO send his wives away.
and he did notes them together again until
the Church concluded to test the constitution
atty Of the act.
Brigham Young, jr., said that no power on
earth could overthrow the Saints and that
stronger revelations than those they had re-
eeived were yet to come. George O. Cannon
spoke In the same strain and said that several
temples were being built in the Territory and
that God was providing plans TO preserve the
Saints Apostle Snow said that ali the powers
OF Heaven and Hell could not prevail against
the Saints. The attendance was large and
the meetings showed the determination OF the
Church to adj ere to polygamy.

The Supreme Court on Gaming.

The situation rs to gaming IS thus
summarized by the Eagle of Grand
Rapids: The supreme court of Miohi-
gan holds pool selling or games of base
ball TO be gaming within the meaning of
the statutes of this state against keeping
gaming rooms The fact that the games
upon which the wagcrs arc laid do not
take place in u room, but at distance
is declared unimportant. Betting upon
game of billiards, which is being
played in New York." says Judge
Cooley, "can as readily be carried on
in distant city, in a room appropriate
cd to the purpose. rs in the very room
where the playing is going on; and If
the latter is gambling room so must
the other be-" The court considers it
TO be gaming or gambling to bet upon
any game, although the game may be
perfectly innocent and there may be
no wager between the players them
selves. betting IS thus equivalent to
gambling whenever the bet is TO be de.
termined by the result of game, but
there may be betting which is net gam
ing, rs for example, in the. case of an
election wager. Horse races, however,
as we'll as dog fights, foot races, and
cock fights have been held to be games
within the terms of the English statute
on the subject, passed in the time of
Queen Anne. which IS the basis of
much of the American legislation.

Household says the way to make husk
bed is to put the husks into plenty of
water and spread them on the grass to
dry, first spreading sheets on the grass,
to keep away the insects, etc, if posi-
Bile. When the husks are dry, draw
them through flax hatchel. or with a
fork split them several times to make
them softer. Then ill iuto bed tick.
Don't put in enough to be hard. but
make good, comfortable bed. Have
a slit in the center of the bed tick. and
every day stir the husks up. A button
and button hole in the bed tick will
make oil secure and If you wash or
scald the husks'every few years, they
will keep sweet. and yon will have u
cheap and comfortable bed.

Three out of the twelve Arctic expe-

in meteorological work between the
sixtieth and eighty-second parallels OF

party was the first to abandon its sta

had been completely successful, AID the

The landing-place was narrow beach
protected by precipitous cliffs, and the
storc-house, station and observatory
were four miles inland. During twelve
months there was a continuous system
of watches day and night, and observa-
tions were taken every hour. The cold
was intense, but as the men were well
supplied with provisions and fuel, their
health did not suffer. The same steam
or which had carried them to Spitzber-
gen called for them about the middle OF
August and conveyed them in safety tc

The failure of the Dutch expedition
to reach its destination at Dickson Har
