Ono question discussed at the late
missionary conference in Osaka, Japan,
was whether it is better that missionaries
should be sent out married or single.
Not only was the sentiment decidedly in
favor of their being married. bat Stats
tics from one society showed that the
term of service for single men was five
years shorter than that o. the married.

The Rev. Or. Samples Impressions

Hope Presbyterian church in this city yes

mon of great power from the text what

Old Volunteer.

"Griffin," in the Turf, Field and Farm
furnishes the following interesting talk by
Mr.. Alden Goldsmith, the owner of the
celebrated Volunteer:
One evening during the recent session of
the board of review at the Fifth Avenue
hotel. the sliding-doors had been closed for
executive session. but a few gentlemen
fingered in the outer room and spent some
time in horse talk. At least. one of them
did, while the others listened, and the ora
tor was the venerable breeder, Alden Gold
smith. Retentive in memory and pro-
nounced in his ideas, he is always most
interesting raconteur, whether or no his
hearers agree with him. His dictum that a
hard track was less liable to sore horses
than soft one, met with some dissent. but
all agreed that he was right in his opinion
that track with gentle rises and falls was
far better to work horses over than one that
was perfectly level. Naturally the con-
Yersation turned to Volunteer, whose pro-

The Minnesota Horse Breeders.

On Wednesday evening Of last week a
considerable number of the members of the
Minnesota Association of Trotting and
Pacing Horse Breeders assembled at Com
modore Kittson's Office. in this city, for the
purpose of holding the annual meeting of
the organization and electing officers. Of
course Commodore Kittson was reelected
president, although he protested against
being again placed in that position. The
cares of his own business. his expected alb
sence from the city, and a variety of other
considerations, were urged by him as salts
factory reasons why he should be
excused from serving in that capac-
ity. The association, however,
felt the importance of having Mr.. KittsOn
occupy the position, and the requests that
he should do so came from so many sources
and with so much earneStness and sincerity
that he at last yielded to the unanimous de-
mand and allowed himself to be elected
president for the ensuing year. The other
officers were the same as last year, except
the treasurer, George w. Sherwood in place
of w. X. Merriam, resigned, viz: n. w.
Kittson, president; j. G. Oswald OF Mime
apolis and G.. A. De Graft of GAINESVILLE,
vice presidents; r. G. Judson of Farming
ton. secretary, and George W. Sherwood,
st. Paul, treasurer. The executive COM
mittee consists of G. A. De Graft, George
W. Sherwood, D. S. Hall of Benson,
George Graves and r. G. Judson. The
most important business transacted by the
association was that of defining what shall
constitute the place where the foal is bred.
The Northwestern Breeders association,
which held its meeting in Chicago week
or two ago, declares the rule to be that the
foal shall hereafter be considered bred in
the state where the services of the stallion
were received. That is to say if man in
Minnesota sends mare to Kentucky where
she receives the services of a stallion and is
returned Immediately after to Minnesota
where the produce is foaled, such produce
is Kentucky foal and is barred from all
races into which Minnesota foals alone are
admitted. The Minnesota association, at
the meeting spoken of, adopted a
resolution declaring that the place
where the produce is foaled shall
constitute the place of its nativity,
and not the place where the service of the
stallion was received. The executive COM
mittee was directed to act for the associa-
ton in getting up series of stake races
and the fixing of the date and place for
holding the same. The association also de-
cided to add 500 to the stake offered for
three-year-olds the coming season to the
colt making the best time under 2:30. The
time for closing entries was fixed for the
18th of March. Two-year olds are to trot
mile dashes only, three-year-olds mile heats,
best two in three and all over three years,
mile heats, best three in five. The above
is the substance of the business transacted
at the meeting.

CAM, SOciallstic Labor party; Cigarmakers'
union; Carpenters union; X. of L., 1922.
Communications were received from five
unions stating that there had been no
opportunity to appoint delegates. The
short discussion which followed
brought forth opinions to the
effect that although a majority Of the labor
ing classes might not be in favor Of the
measure, agitation was needed; that the
movement would have been more of a sue
cess if it had been put in the hands of the
Trades and Labor assembly, owing to the
ungrounded prejudice against the Socialists;
that the difference in principles and aims
between the Socialistic Labor party and the
Knights of Labor was small; that steps
should be taken to secure fellowship and
the admission of delegates to the assembly.
and that frequent public meetings should be
held to educate the public on labor issues.
1t was decided to defer action and discus
sion until another meeting, which would be
called i'll January, and in which all unions
would be invited to send representatives.
A public meeting will be held by the So
cialistic Labor party in Arion hall next SUM-

cess to the manuscript while in
possession OF the book-publisher, had copied
it and gave it to Rigden, a Campbellite
preacher. Rigden and Joseph Smith were
close personal friends, and through them
the old Spaulding composition was palmed
off as revelation from heaven, and thus
formed the basis of the Mormon religion.
Singular enough the book of Mormon pro-
hibits plural marriages. Spaulding and
Rigden were not polygamistS. 1t was by
a subsequent revelation that Joseph Smith
claimed to have received authority
TO ESTABLISH PoLYGAMY.
The claim that the Mormon Bible accepted
the Christian Bible as orthodox was untrue.
An examination of the Mormon Bible dis
closed to him the fact that by ingenious in
terpoiation Joseph Smith had changed the
meaning of many of the important passages
of scripture upon which the MormOns relied.
DR.. Sample gave an interesting account
of Mormon wedding in the endowment
house at Utah. A Scotchmanwho had be-
come a convert to Morm0nism was required
to wed a second wife. The first wife, who
had come with him from the Highlands of
Scotland, and had given him her heart and
hand in the long ago under the impression
that he was to be her only husband, was
compelled by the laws of she church to &C
company her husband to the endowment
house and witness the ceremony OF his sec
ond marriage. The form of ceremony re-
quired her To assent that her husband should
take the other woman to be his lawful and
welded wife, which she declined to do.
But the ceremony went on and Wife No.
accompanies them home. Wife No. l
kneels by the cradle of her infant and in
the agony of her heart prays that she and
her child may be taken to another world.
This is not an exceptional case. The
rebelliOus spirit of the Mormons was
reverted to. They are despisers of govern
ment. The flags at half mast on last Fourth
of July was evidence of this. Every Nor
mon who passes through the Endowment
house registers a secret oath of enmity to
the United States government. The mayor
and officials of Salt Lake speak defiantly of
the government and its authority. The gov
eminent officials in Utah are in hourly dan
ger of assassination. In his opinion, if
steps are not taken speedily to crush Nor
monism. the government will ultimately
find that it will be confronted with rebel
lious element as difficult to overcome as was
the Southern section in the late war. Nor
mon hierarchy may be a dream of distem-
pered minds, yet it existed and was gather
ing force every day. The sermon closed
with an earnest invocation that the AL
mighty might aid the work of eXtirpating
the evil from the land.

VERY MATERIAL GHOST.
The Mystery of the Alleged Haunt-
ed House Explained.

eu H1Ouse PAa1heus
''It is strange" remarked a resident of
St. Anthony hill yesterday. ''what slight
thread superstitious people will catch at :"
On being asked to explain just what he re-
ferred to, he said he had heard the rumors
that the house 312 Summit avenue was
haunted, an account of which was pub
lished in the GLOBE few days ago, and
his curiosity being reused he concluded to
unravel the mystery and make the acquaint-
ance of the ghosts if there were any. He
instituted and investigation and found that
the ghost was very material one, being no
other than Herman Haupt Jr., whose
father for long time occupied the house,
lately yacatng it. Mr.. Haupt, Jr., it
and at times occupies it, often sit
ting up late nights to study
and always by. CRATE fire. This
fact was generally unknown in the neigh
borhood and the light of the fireplace play
ing on the walls of house, generally sup
posed to be vacant by the neighbors, gave
rise to their suspicious. Mr.. Haupt has a
favorite pet in the form of dog that goes
by the name of Flash and undoubtedly the
peculiar sounds that have proceeded from
the house at night, and have been con-
strued into walls Of unearthly beings by the
people, have emanated from the throat of
Flash. Regarding the single track from
the gate to the door" the gentleman said,
Il found that Mr.. Haupt, who wore rubber
shoes in going to and from the house. to
prevent his overshOes from filling with
snow had taken pains to step in his own
tracks, so you see this dissipates all the
romance there is about the story"
