MOrmOns Posing as Martyrs.

SALT LAKE, UTAH. Oct. 12.-W.
A. ROsster, manager ola theatre, and
George Romney, were both convict
ed Of unlawful cohabitation and sen.
fenced to the penitentiary for six
months and to pay $500 fine. They
got closely shaven and their hair cut
prior to sentence. When asked if
they had anything to say, they refus-
ed to make any pledges. This is
classed by the church organ as "gen-
uine eloquence," showing that they
preferred Imprisonment rather than
be recreant to obligations of a mos
sacred character. Their friends gath
cred around with words of cheer, and
they went to prison as martyrs.
Robert Swain and Thomas Percher
pleaded guilty to cohabitation. They
begged mercy, and were granted time

A Newspaper COnundrum.
Ceester, pa. } Times.

Ceester, pa Times.
Newspaper men have often asked
themSelves question, but up to the
present no one has been found who
could answer it. A paper sets off a
certain number of its columns for adj =.
refreshments, and to that space the
business manager looks for the reve-
nue. which is to keep the wheels in
motion. That space has a specified
value, and as many people constant
~ take advantage of it, its worth is
thereby proven without argument.
Yet. Notwithstanding this, eight out
of every ten persons who insert an
advertisement ask that a notice in
the reading columns be given
thrown in, so to speak-with the
other, There is only one man out Of
all the subscribers who takes any
particular delight in that paragraph
known as the notice, and that is the
man whose name it contains, and he
smilcs in sort of delirium of bliss.
Now, when the editor goes out to
buy he does not, after making his
purchases, ask that two dollars
worth of articles he thrown IN. The
grocer would kick the man out of
his store who habitually asked to
have pound of sugar thrown in for
every quarter of a pound of pepper
he purchased. The hardware man
would he aghast if he was compelled
to throw in a pound of nails for every
ten cents worth of putty he sold.
The dry goods man would go out of
business if he put in a yard of cloth
or parcel for every bit of calico
Maria Abigail Simpkins happened to
purchase.
The funniest thing about the mo,
tice" business is that the large adyer.
tisers do not ask for the extra, the
complimentary paragraph being
merely given as an act of courtesy for
their large trade in printers ink,
while the man who spends 81 month
has his feelings wounded if he does
not receive notice worth 50 so in
hard cash every time he favors the
paper with his custom.

A Proposed State Military Rifle Match.
DIR. V. l.. LETROBE,
Oakland, Md.

1t is proposed to have within the
next month military rifle match,
each command in the State to enter
one or more teams, in the CreedmOOr
style, the affair to last for two days.
The projectors plan is to have the
match at either HagerstoWn, Freder-
lex or Cumberland. which ever place
offers the greatest inducements. 1t
is understood the Fifth Regiment,
who have for some time past been
practicing at Schuetzen Park, Balti-
more, have agreed to send one or
more teams. 1t is thought that the
plan would interest the military
more than any other kind of celebra-
ton and it is believed it could be
made a success with the proper effort.
