BEAUTY FOR THE BEASTS.

Pretty Mormon Converts Refuse to be
Digressed-They Go to Salt Lake.
New YORK, Oct. 1.-The authorities at
the barge office this morning used an
immense amount of moral persuasion ON
the thirty-two young Mormons that ar
rived yesterday on the steamer Wyo-
ming, to induce them to forego their in
tention of becoming proselytes to the
Mormon faith. The girls were sep
arated from the other passengers as they
landed, and placed in a room by them
selves. Three female missionaries from
the emigrant girls home went among
them and tried to convince them of the
folly of the course they propose to fol-
low. 1t was very hard undertaking.
One of the girls, Karen Sylversten by
name, who acted as spokeswoman for
the party, frankly acknowledged that
they were all willing to be one of seven
or eight wives. and were fully aware of
the principles of Mormonism. The
girls are all young, and some of them
remarkably pretty. The attempt of the
missionaries to influence them proved
an utter failure, and as ali that the
barge Office authorities can do is to use
persuasion, the entire party will pro-
coed on their journey tomorrow by the
old Dominion Line via Newport News,
Va. The party comprises all told 202
souls, of whom thirty-two are children.
Among the lot is married English
woman who left her husband in En-
gland to take up the Mormon faith.
She said she was called and compelled
to go. She refused to tell her name.

COlored Virginia Congressman and the
Little Fire-Eater Are at War.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 2--John M.
Langs toi., the Virginia colored con-
gres sman who was seated last week, is
on the warpath for ex-senator William
Malone, snd there promises to be
blood on the face of the moon. Lang
ston was not the regular Republican
nominee in his district, nor did he
have the countenance or support of
the Republican county committee.
Mahone's personal feelings towards
him are said to be of the bitterest kind.
In the last Republican national conven-
vention at Chicago, Langston made a
speech in support of Senator Sherman.
This angered Malone, and the latter is
said to have applied the vilest epithets
to his fellow delegate, both in the
convention hall and in other places.
Langston, however, knew nothing
of this until he was tod of it by Wis
consln congressman a few days ago.
Langston says that he has been abused
by Malone long enough, and that the
time is come when he can and will re-
sent it, as it ought to be resented.
Those who know Langston and also
know Malone, are of opinion that
there will be some interesting develop
ments before they have gotten through

AFTER 100 YEARS,
The Heirs of Benjamin Franklin Contest
the VIII.

In the orphans court at Philadelphia,
on the Doth, a petition was filed by the
heirs of Benjamin Franklin praying that
the 100000 now held by the Board of
City Trusts, and known as the Frank
lin Fund.-" be turned over to them, the
ground for the claim being that the pro-
visions of Franklin's will are in viola
ton of the law and void. By this will
Benjamin Franklin bequeathed in trust
to Philadelphia and Boston each Ct ,00O
to be invested in loans at per cent. to
married young artifcers not over %,
to assist them in establishing them
selves in business" Franklin had in
view the accumulation of a large fund
for the purposes specified in his
will at the expiration of the pc
Rod Of 100 years, the remainder
to be re-invested for another 100
years. The first period of 100 years
having elapsed, the city of Boston has
increased the nucleus to about $500, 900,
but the Philadelphia fund only
reaches about 100000. The object
of the suit is to compel the
distribution of this fund to the heirs of
the Franklin descendants through the
only daughter. Sarah Franklin Bache.
1t is estimated that there are over fifty

A YANKEE TRICK.
London Brokers Squeezed by Our Own
DR.. Warner.


The London Stock Exchange have.
complained through Consul General
New, to the State Department of the
United States, that Yankee trick had
been played on it by DR.. Warner, of
Rochester, n. Y. the patent medi-
cine man, and it is affording much
amusement. A year ago DR.. Warner
went to London to sell his business for
$4,000, 900 cash. The proposed pur-
chasers found that he paid $4,000
year for advertising and cleared $780,
600 year. But they failed to raise the
$4,000, 900, and DR.. Warner went into,
the syndicate business himself, organ
lied company with s5,OO0,00O stock in
$50 shares and got it listed ON the Lon
don Stock Exchange. The stock, it was
shown, would pay 10 TO Is per cent div
idend, and the British public fairly
cried for it. The doctor meanwhile
kept three-quarters of the stock him
self. Soon brokers had sold more than
they could get to deliver, and there was
squeeze that carried the stock uD to
$3.50 per share, and many settlements
were made on that basis. DIR. Warner
intimated when asked for stock that he
thought it worth about $500 per share,
and has disposed of considerable on that
basis. He will make from $50, 000,0 900 TO
$40, 100000 on the deal, and the Con
sular bureau of the state department is
not worrying about it.

Business Men Built 1t.

A Spokane Falls, Wash. dispatch of

ever held in the state of Washington
opened here to-day. Despite the strike
of the union carpenters the building
was completed on time, scores of the

and taking the places of the strik-
ers. Society ladies banqueted the
non-union carpenters, and formed
themselves into a committee for
the purpose of getting the whole city to
turn out. Gen. Carlin marched down
from Fort Sherman with 500 regular
troops, and whole cities apparently
made it a point to attend the opening.
The exposition is not confined to Wash
ington, but includes exhibits from Ida
no, Montana, Oregon and British Co
lumbia. Half an hour after the doors
opened $4,000 persons passed into the
great building. W. H. Calkins, former
