THE MORMON PRIMER.
Facts Taught to Children In the
Schools OF Utah.
Boston Commercial Bulletin.

No one who knows the Mormon people ex-
poets that they will be loyal to the govern
ment of the United States, or to any-oSher
government except that represented by the
Presidency Of their Church. Everything in
the history of the Territory and IN its pres
ent condition goes to show that "the Church"
is to be considered, first, last, and in the
mi1st, and always. The children are taught
this from their cradles.
The pupils in the common schools are in
strueted in the history of ''the Church" as
carefully as the pupils in the schools Of
Massachusetts, arc instructed in the history
of the United States. From a geography
that lies before me, the geography in use in
the public schools, for the support Of which
Gentiles are taxed equally with the Mormons,
quote a few paragraphs which the pupils
are required to commit to memory:
'1S47. President Brigham Young, with
142 Pioneers, left Council Bluffs April 18th
in search Of a suitable location in the vast
wilderness Of the West.
During the Autumn, 2,000 emigrants ar
rived, under the direction of Apostles Par
ley Pratt and John Taylor.
1854. Patriarch John Smith died.
1856. Hand-cart missionaries make the
trip t. the Missouri River in As days.
1860. Geo. q. Cannon ordained one Of the
Twelve Apostles.
1868 Heber c. Kimball, First Counsellor
to President Young, died; George A. Smith
chosen in his place.
1862 One hundred and ninety missi0na
ries called to go to the United States. III
should be noted that the United States is
spoken of as country quite distinct from
Utahl
1873 The Woman's Exponent (the organ
of pOlygamyl first issued"
A whole chapter, entitled Historical" Is
devoted to imparting information of this
character, while most Of the chapter entitled
descriptive Geography" is permeated with
the spirit of the Latter Day Gospel; that is
to say, the spirit which eXalts the achieve
ments of the Saints, in turning the wilder
ness into garden. and building up -four
ishing community in the Great American
| Desert.
The Gentiles who are forced to contribute
to the support of these schools may object to
the course Of instruction in them, but such
objections do not count. When Utah be-
comes a State, it is probable that the Deseret
alphabet will come into favor again. This
alphabet, which was in use when we first
came to the Territory to reside, was an in
ventiOn of the Saints to keep their children
from being contaminated by Gentle books
1t was their intention to have all their text
books printed in DeSeret characters, and the
pupils iu their schools were to learn.this al
ph0bet and no other The text books in use
twenty years ago were translated in Des-
eret at considerable expense to the Terri
tory, but the children found it so difficult tO
master the strange characters that the plan
was at length abandoned as impracticable.

Explosion of xylonite Works al
Adams, Massive Men Killed.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Sept. 14.-Fire
broke out at 11.3O last night in the pulp dry
ing room of the American Xylonite factory,
about three miles from North Adams. A.
B. jerks of Zylonite and c. F.. Kimball of
North Adams were killed by falling walls or
suffocated by smoke. Five minutes after
the first alarm seven streams OF water were
pouring Oh the burning building, and SO COM
plete is the local fire service of the Zylonite
Company's private fire brigade of 40 men
that only the middle section, about 45 feet in
length and one story high, was burned, while
rooms on either side of it, one containing a
number of barrels of zylonite material and
alcohol, were left uninjured'
jerks was found about 10 O'Clock this fore
noon covered by brick wall between the
engine room and dry room. and Kimball lay
in the dry room with one hand over his head
and the other over his nose, as though to
prevent suffocation. The bodies were not
mutilated. Kimball leaves widow and sew
en- children. The origin of the fire is mys-
terry, but the theory is thata headlight out
side the building, burning kerosene, explod-
ed, and some of the burning oil went through
the window into the dry room. The build
ing was lighted at night by, means of the
headlight shining through plate glass. The
financial loss is incoDsiderable, and there
was $2500 insurance.

voyage she picked up the Norwegian boat
Ocean, with two men who were trying to
from land, off the banks of Newfoundland
The Ocean measured five feet six inches in
breadth and IA feet in length. One of the
men on the small boat told the following
story: The Ocean stared on the voyage on
May 25th, and then called at several Norwe-
gian ports. 1t then proceeded to cross the
ocean, and all went well until the 9th of
July, when two heavy gales struck them and
lasted until the 11th On July 18th another
gale swept over them and carried away their
mast. On July Goth, in latitude 50 north and
longitude 90 west, their boat was capsized,
sailed on their way. Shortly after this she
was spoken by the steamer City of Chicago
from New York for Liverpool.
From August 1St to August Sth was very
unfavorable week, and on the morning of
the 9Th they were again capsized, end oyer
end, leaving their boat to the mercy, OF the
sea- The anchor rope was carried away.
and she lay broadside to the sea for 30 hours
before she could be bailed out. On the 11th
they were sighted by the English barque
Mary Graham, and were taken on board.
On August 10th, three days after they had
been on board, heavy gale struck the
barque. The Mary Graham was running be-
fore hurricane and shipped tremendous
sea which carried away her boats, smashed
in the front of her cabin and cleared out all
its contents, spelling all the provisions but a
few canned things. The captain was killed
and the first officer with one man washed
overheard. Most of the crew were severely
injured, one man having his leg and another
his arm broken. The deck load of timber
was also washed overheard.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 14.-The confession of
Arthur Arthbuthurst alias A. L. Pitman,
alias Charles Walker, alias Parsons, who is
under arrest at Coyington, and claims to
have killed the late Mayor Bowman of East
st. Louis, Nov. 1Sth has been received by

stantially as already printed. He declares
his employer for the crime is the vice presi-

81. 500 for killing Mayor Bowman. He had
intended to kidnap Mr.. Bowman. and when
he fired he intended only to wound him. The
shot killed him, however, and he made his
sion voluntarily simply because of guilty
conscience. He knows his employers name
and his place of residence, and could easily
identify him if he should ever see him again.
He refuses to disclose the vice president S
name, but promises to do so when the proper
time shall arrive.
