EXPERIENCE OF A LADY MISSIONARY

| were gathered, open to sll alike; thsf
thetreaildren were well born, well bred
and well educated, and the women IS well
informed and cultured as the masses CT
American women: that the men do not
swear, drink tntoxicants or smoke, were
all swallowed up in the one cry, "Polyga-
nous Mormons!"
NOW do not believe In polygsmy, and
sm not convert to the Mormon faith;
but do believe in humanity aud Justice;
IN the lnVlolAbiltty Of personal and prop
erty rights; In the sSRctity and freedom
OF the religious convictions of every
human being under the sun, and their
protection from coercion, intrusion, or
undue influence.
NOW that polygsuy has been sup
pressed, the non-polygsmous male popu-
lation OF Utah, comprising four fiths of
her present voters, having called s con-
VeItlon in due Iorm, formulated sn0
adopted constitution, Rave presented il
to the United States Congress, and for
the fifth time are asking admission
as state, aud Ia this constitution
nave incorporated SIS follows CART. XIV,
Sec. IL, p. ~: "Bigsmy and polygamy
being consideI ed incompatible with q re-
publican form OF government each Of
them is hereby forbidden and declared q
misdemeanor.n
ANY person who shall violate this Sec
tion shall, on conviction thereof, be pun
ished by fine of not more than $1,000
and Imprisonment for term not less thaA
six months nor mere than three years, In
the discretion Of the court. Z"
provided, that section II Of article
Nv, shall not be amended, revised, or In
any way changed until any amend
ment, revision or change as pro-
posed therein shall, in addition
TO the requirements of the provisions Of
this article, be reported to the Congress
OF the United States, and shall be by
Congress approved and ratified, and such
approval and ratification be proclaimed
by the President Of the United States;
and II not so ratified and proclsimed, said
section shall remain perpetual" it would
seem IS though sufficient concessions
had been msde in this instrument NOT
ouly to.sa.isfy the United States Congress,
but popular clSmor.
BuL now the cry is raised by the news
paper press, "These Mormons are insin-
;ere." Aud yet insiDcerity In the past
has not been feature of the Mormon
character, either as pertains to their re-
1gion or their business relations. In the
after especially there has ever been
manifested marked probity and re-
liability.
In my opinion, II there is any substan-
ial reason why the FittIeth Congress
should not admit Utah as 8 state, 1t is the
act that they temely submit to the dis
Of their women, and have
ntirelY left them out of their new state
onstitdtion. BELvA A. LOCKWOOD.

with offers to all mines in operation to

VOLCANO UNDER WATER.
Tongues of Fire hoo Up From a

The Noumea mail brings an account
OF an extraordinary phenomenon which
occurred during an earthquake at Port
Sandwich, in Mallicola island, on the
2lst OF October, says the st. James Ca
zette. In Tthe middle of the port tho
waves were rolling as usual, whom sud.
denly a column of water vas projected
high into the air, and at the same mo-
ment flames issued out OF the cavity
thus formed, lighting up the sea
for some distance round. This phe-
nomenon, which occurred in the even
ing, lasted only a few seconds, but
throughout the night there were fire.
quent shocks OF earthquake. The spec
tators of this strange sight related that
flames proceeded from the spot at which
the ships were usually moored. Tho
Dives, a government vessel, returning
TO the island some weeks afterward,
made soundings, but ascertained that
there had beer no change in the depth
| OF the sea at the anchorage. 1t Is, how
ever, objected that the precise spot
whence the flames issued may not have
been examined. This phenomenon has
produced some trepidation, IL being APP

The Great Difficulty of Driving a Fast
Train Across Western Prairies.

Chicago Herald: The starting out of
so many limited trains in the west has
caused quite a shaking up among the
locomotive enginees of the Chicago
roads. Not a few ambitions have been
stirred, only to be disappointed. for
only one engineer in q hundred of those
anxious to get a run with n flyer could
be accommodated. Only half a dozen
men on each road could gain the honor
which q hundred craved. A run on the
limited is about the top notch of loco
motive engineering. Yet those who
were lucky enough to gain the prizes
find the tasks anything but easy ones.
The new fast runs out of Chicago are
not very fast, but they are exceedingly
difficult to make OF schedule time.
This is because of the largo number of
stops which it is necessary to make, on
account of railway crossings and other
distractions.
The schedule time of the new trains
between Chicago and Council Bluffs is
rather less than thirty-five miles an
hour, but in making the trip the engi-
neers often find it necessary to steam
ahead at the rate of fifty to sixty miles.
Between Chicago and the Missouri river
a train must come to a halt about thirty
times for railway crossings or other
causes that may be depended upon day
after day. In addition to these certain
stops are several contingent ones, maxi
ing an average Of probably forty full
stops en- route. AS each full stop is
equivalent to the loss of four or five
minutes at least, a little calculation
shows us that the time spent in
stopping and starting amounts to
nearly three hours on the trip. This
brings the running time up TO almost
forty miles al hour, and as along a
goodly portion of the line it is impossi-
Bile to make any such speed on account
of steep grade outs and passing through
towns and cities at street grade, the en-
gineers find it necessary to speed up to
sixty miles an hour on the most favor
able stretches of road. The fast runs
out of Chicago are all night runs, and it
is the night run that tries the engi-
neer's courage. Driving ahead at a
mile a minute into a sea of darkness
which human eyes cannot penetrate, is
work such as no cowardly or timid man
could perform.
Among the engine drivers there are
bold and timid men, but only the for
mer are selected for these last runs. A
timid man, prone to shut off steam for
every shadow seen on the track or every
imaginary danger, for engineers are
| called O continually TO beat back
their own -apprehensions, could never
make time on a run like n OF these
limited trains TO the west. Some OF the
best and bravest and best engineers in
the world are on these footplates, and
in this climate and under the dl~sadyant-
ages besetting them they will lind
enough to try their mettle.

Montana,s wealth IN Copper.

ST. Paul Pioneer Press: About three
years ago these same companies who are
now forming the back bone OF the trust
decided TO crush the growing copper in
dustry of Montana, then having an OUT
put of less then ten million pounds per
annum. The price OF copper was placed
at 10 cents per pound, and finally at 8
cents. The money ores, carrying
enough gold and silver to pay the cost
of smelling, no attention was paid To the
action of tho trust, and the works were
extended, until the year just passed
shows us an output of copper from these
same despised mines OF one-quarter OF
the total output Of the world, with a
come will be fully One-third Of the
worlds total. The fall Of tho year just
passed the trust decided to try another
