not sick at all. "It was OF account of the per-

Perseeuted Mormon Proselrte.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, April 16. - Ten
months ago two mormOns commenced to preach
their doctrines to the people of Calhoun
county, and after some exertion succeeded in
gathering quite a large congregation. They
also visited among the families of those who at
tented their meetings and continued their
pTOselyting work there. IL was noticed that
their visits were generally at homes where
there were young unmarried women. Things
went on thus for several months until rumors
became current that the missionaries" were
practicing their precepts to the scandal and
disgrace Of the community. They were then
given two hours TO leave in. The apostles,
however, had one friend William Metz who
stood by them through thick and thin and il is
said, paid their expenses. Since they left,
Metz has been continually prosecuted. lie sold
his farm and bought another and before he
could move in the building was burned down.
Another bought by him was also burned and
warnings were sent him to leave the county.
His cattle have been poisoned his wells choked
and other things done to make life a misery.
Formerly of excellent standing he has not now
one friend and is little better than a tramp
His family are equally as badly treated and
should Metz remain in Calhoun county it is
feared that he will be foully dealt with. Amid
all his trouble Metz adheres to his new belief,
mornonism.

MAYOR Hewitt an Ame,ie lean.

NEW YORK, April 1O.-AIayor Hewitt to-day
transmitted to the common council a stirring
message disappearing the resolution taking
from the mayor the power of directing what flags
shall be displayed upon the city buildings. In
it he shows that while the Irish born popula.
ton amounts TO 1916 per cent, q per cent OF
the board of aldermen are Irish more than one
and one-half times the normal ratio of repre-
sentation, and that the same ratio of represen'
tation prevails in all the departments except
the police, where $50 per cent. are Irish born,
nearly double the normal per centage. This, he
declares, is at the expense of the German ele.
ment. He gives a tabulated account of national
reDresentations in offices and in charitable in
stitutions He states that he does not publish
the tables to invoke comment, but declares that
under our free government and boundless re-
sources, the Irish malcontents should exhibit a
modest restraint in claiming privileges not now
known to the law and not desired by the more
conservative portion of the nationality in whose
favor the exception is demanded. He advised
the board of aldermen TO adopt some measure
whereby the vexed question may be made
sauarely an issue before the people.
