And pious folk began 10 pass,
She deity tied her bonnet on,
The little, sober meeting. lass,
All in her neat, white curtained room, before
her tiny loolSing-glass.
So nicely, round her lady-cheeks,
She smoothed her bands OF glossy hair,
And innocently wondered il
Her bonnet did not make her fair -
Then sternly child her foolish heart for har-
boring such fancies there
So square she tied the satin strings,
And set the bows beneath her chin =
Then smiled to sec how sweet sho looked
Then thought her vanity sin,
And she must put such thoughts away before

But sitting meath tho preached word,
Demurely in her fathers pew,

About its pretty bows and buds which better

The exposition buildings at New

largest ever erected, covering under one
roof 80 acres Of space, being just one

sions, or nearly 80 per cent larger than
the main building At the centennial OK.

ment for the United States government

the educational display. In size 1t is 1856
feet by 665 feet, or almost as large as the
main building at Philadelphia, in 1876
The horticultural hall will, when en-
tirely completed, be the finest building Of
its kind in the world. It ia 800 feet In
length by 1914 in width, with tower on

Another point Of particular interest is
the art hall, a structure 200 feet long by
so feet In width, being built Of corrugated
iron, and is perfect gem OF artistic

all the machinery for ginning,

NASHVILLE, Aug. IL Full details OF
terrible tragedy on Cane creek, Lewis
county, were received to-day. The
tragedy occurred on Sunday morning,
bat as the place is isolated the news
travelled slowly. Several years ago q
number Of Mormon elders landed in
Lewis county and enlisted humber OF
natives in the cause. They formed an
organization aud located on the eAat fork
OF Cane oreeK. The feeling against these
Latter Day Saints has bsen growing aud
hss bsoome very bitter. This feeling
broke out in full foros on Sunday morn
ing. About IL o'clocl. thrss Mormon
elders met at the houss 81 an old man
named Gender aud proceeded to hold one
Of their meetings. Among the coperega.
tion was Mrs. Gender, Martin Gender aud
John r. Butson. Twenty Eve masked
men rode up to the house and were met
at the door by Gender and Hutson The
mob ordered the yourg men TO Surrender,
hut they refused and showed fight.
One OF the mob Knocked Gender on the
head, crushing his skull aud causing
instant death. Hutson, who bad by this
time seized a double bArrelsd shotgun,
fred upon the mob and killed one, who,
after his mask was removed, DIT wed to be
David Hiuson, a well.to-do farmer. The
mob drew their weapons and fred upon
Hutson, killing him instantly. They
then entered the house and opened fire
on the Mormon elders, two OF whom were
killed outright. One of the elders sought
| protection behind Mrs. Gender, aud
bullet aimed at him took effect in the
lady's leg, fraoturing that member. The
other elder, seeing his brother lying dead,
fled to the woods. He was pursued and
fred upon. II 10 thought that he, too,
was killed, On the way to Conder'a
house the mob stopped at neighboring
dwelling, owned by Mr.. Garrett, where
they captured a Mormon elder.
He was taken to the woods, and after
all was quisted down at Conder's, several
shots were heard in the direction the mob
went with their prisoner, and IL ia thought
this man was also killed. II Ia believed
that the elder who fled from Conder's
house to the woods made good his escape.
A man who lives on Swan creek said that
late on Sunday afternoon Mormon elder
passed his house and inquired the way
TO Shady Grove. The country surround.

The New York ststar's' Promised
Political Revelation.

Political Revelation
The New York Star, Tsmmany organ,
Friday printed an editorial declaring
that 1t would Saturday publish some dam.
aging disclosures in regard to prominent
Democrats high in the councils of the
party. Saturday the promised dis
closures appeared, but they proved to be
simply charges on the part OF John /.
Davenport, chief supervisor OF cleo
tions In New York-who made himself
notorious four years ago by arresting and
imprisoninR Irish voters on the pretense
that their naturalization papers were
fraudulent, and thus preventing them
from voting for Hanoock-thst the famous
"Morey letter" forgery was oounten-
anced and encouraged by William Il.
BRrnum and other prominent Democrats.
The Star's own summary Of the affair ia
as follows
Suooinotly, Mr.. Davenport adduces a
mass Of proofs upon which he bases the
following charges:
That the character, Objeo! and origin Of
the Morey letter We're known to Chairman
William Il. Bsrnum OF the Democratic
national committee in 1880, prior to ita
publication.
That William H. Barnum, William l..
Scott and Abram s. Hewitt; 0restea
Cleveland and Bradley B. Smalley, united
at least in giving the Mercy letter forgery
Endorsement, momentary character and
wide circulation. ....
That Samuel ]. Randall, Abram s.
Hewitt, William II. BarnUm and the
others already named did this with the
purpose o. misrepresentinR the views Of
General Garfield, which Mr.. Davenport
asserts were the reverse OF those ex
pressed in the Morey letter.
That Henry B. Hadley OF New York
City was the forger Of the letter in ques
ton, and that he has admitted its author
ship and also the authorship Of the
original draft.
BAREUM's CONNECTION.
According to Daverport's researches
printed in the Star, Mr.. Barnum's con.
neotion with the letter was as follows:
Meeting General George ?. Este, a claim
agent, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Mr..
BArnum, in the conversation concerning
campaign measures declared 'that il
something was prepared, presenting, in
an in0ffensive manner, General GaTfield'a
views upon the subject Of Chinese cheap
labor, it might be put to good use--ty
being printed upon a small card and
circulated as "a dodger'-in OOunteraot-
ing the effect of the tariff cards' Of the
Republicans. Mr.. Barnum inquired Of
Rste II he was familiar with General Gar
fields views and record upon the Chinese
question. Este made answer that he
was, to some extent, and could readily
inform himself thoroughly; that he was
fully alive to the situation and would at
once see what could be done in the
matter" .s-.. .-..- 49, .-...
Beyond this expression, even DAven
ports unsupported charges do not ap.
pear TO connect Mr.. Barnum in any way
with the forgery.
