this determination she announced 10 some
ons that she proposed to call on Mr. Oberly
and talk with him He heard DR.. Mary
Walker was to call upon him and deter
mined TO dodge an interview Long ago he
selected small den in the subterranean
parts Of city hall where the civil service com
mission has its Offices, TO avoid some OF tho

Mary three days to track him TO his den, but
she finally did 50. One day the "Bishop7

a Very Painful "Breakinr Out"

The New England deacon OF the olden
time was gifted with piety, good sense
and an epfgrammatic way of speaking.
In the Traditions of the Bellows Family"
mention is made of a Deacon Foster, Of
Walpole, who proposed to an aged widow
by offering ito go the rest of the way to
heaven with her. The offer was accepted.
One morning he rode up to the door of
q LADY In great haste, and told her that a
neighbor, Mrs. Carter, was in sore trouble,
as she had been violently taken with "a
serious and painful breaking out about
her mouth"
The lady at once went to the neighbor's
house, and discovered Mrs. Carter going
about her duties, and nothing unusual on
her face. Surprised, she told her of the
deacon's message.
"Well," answered Mrs. Carter, AZ
know what he meant. When he came
this morning, was giving Ben Carter q
piece of my mind for his carelessness, and
the good deacon thought my temper made
my speech little unscriptural. Youths

"Yah, dots me-" he nodded reassur-

"But don't know that you are Mr..
Schweitzercase. You must get yourself
identified"
"How vas dot3" asked the German citi-
zen, with puzzled look.
You must get some one to identify

When bedtime came a few nights ago
the mother of this little maid could not
find her. She was not in the nursery; and
carrying on the search her mother reached
the landing on the stairs There she
stayed a moment, and, listening, heard
the babes voice in the hall below. Look

see tiny Miss Mable standing on hall

THE MoRMoNS.

Annual Report of the Utah Commission IA
the Secretary of the INTERIOR tee
recommendations in Relation to the Ad
mission of the Territory to Statehood.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29--G. L. Godfrey
a. b. Williams and A. l.. Thomas, three
OF the five members Of the Utah Com.
mission, have submitted to the Seefetar,
OF the Interior the majority report Of the
commission of affairs in the Territory
during the past year. They renew the
recommendation of the last annual re-
port that the Territory should not be ad
United to the Union as State until
such time as the Mormon psco1e
| shall manifest BY their acts that
they have abandoned polygamy in good
faith, and an amendment shall have been
adopted to the constitution prohibitorv of
| Polygamy. The action Of the Senate and
House committee on the petitions asking
for the admission Of Utah, ti,e teuott
claims, Is IN support of the position taken
oy the majority. The Senate committee
recommended, as a condition Of admis-
sion, that there should be undoubted eyi =
denee on the part of the Mormon people
OF the abandonment of pofygany, srd
the House recommended the adoption of
the proh1bltory amendment to the consti-
tuition. Both political parties in Utah, in
convention utterance, the report adds,
lndorse the position of the majority,
ms repCrt urges the granting to the GoFs
ernor OF Utah the power of appointing
school supeHntendents, as, under the
present plan Of popular elections, the
schools are under the control Of the Nor
mon church. Reference Is made to the
act passed by the Legislature last
December, but vetoed by the
Governor, providing for the distribution
of the lublic school fnud for the
support Of the people among the
public schools. A letter written in
June last by the president of the
church is also quoted, which expresses
the opinion that if the children are left
to the training they receive id schools
they will grow up In Ignorance Of those
principles of salvatior for which the
Latter Day SAINTS have made SO MANY
sacrifices. The Mormon people, the pres
ident adds, generally desire to
have schools whetU tie bible.
TIC Book Of Mormon and the
Book of Doctrines and Covenants, can be
used as text books, and where the princi-
Piles of their religion MAY form part of
oLO eCoSAtuS. LILO report cO0Clude9s
from these circumstances, that the Nor
mon Church favors policy which if suce
cessful will prove destructive to the pub
lie school system in Utah. The COM
missioners also renew their recommends.
ton of last year that the Governor ap.
point county officers. The opinion is exs
pressed in the report that the work Under
the law of Congress With RESPECT
to the registration of voters and
the conduct of the elections
has been we'll performed and very satis-
factory. During the past year there
have been eight indictments for poly
gamy and four convictions. 1854 indict-
ments for unlawful cohabitation and
362 convictions. In conclusion the COM
missioners express the opinion that an |
enforcement of the laws should |
be continued, and also that political |
should be continued.

All education begins in work.
What we think, what we know, or what

76 per cent in scholarship for the year.
"A tender-hearted and compassionate
disposition, which inclines men to pity

receives much honor, is worthy of the
highest.
Be not persuaded for fear OF man or
from weak desire to please to forego
your good resolutions, and to do what
you know to be sinful and wrong. You
will have to be very brave, very manly,
very strong and very earnest in seeking
Gods help, to do all of these things;
but in the very struggle you will daily
grow stronger until you will despise the
coward heart which would unman you
to the effort. AndreaU's Cross
