Christians had hunted the benighte
heather for long time; tonight one {

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: shall never
forget Salt Lake City. Here met with
an accident, the first of its kind in nv
life. l was caught in the whirlwind of
fate and hurled headlong down to the
depth of ignominy and shame. Oh. re-
lentless fate! Thou dost not respect rank
or age. The greatest of men have fallen
victims to thy wrath; the noblest of souls
have been crushed to death in thy coyet
jaws. No crime, ofense or guilt is requi-
site to incur thy displeasure.
WHEN THE STARS CHANGE,
Shafts of the sheltering roof begin tn

their own children; friends turn into
enemies, and the whole world look
