SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, Sept. "a, 1890.


To Ukom II n1dU concern:
Press dispatches having been sent from Salt Lake
City, which have been widely published for politi-
cal purposes, TO the effect that the Utah Commits
sion in their recent report to the Secretary of tho
Interior allege that plural marriages still being
solcmnized, and that 40 more such marriages
have been contracted I'm Utah since last June, or
during the past year also that In public discourses
the leaders Of the church have taught. encouraged
aud urged the continuance of the practice Of POI
lygamy:
/. therefore. as President ~ the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints do hereby in the most
solemn manner declare that the charges are false.
We are not teaching poygamy or plural marriage,
nor permitting any person to enter into its practice
aud dony that either 30 any other number Of
plural marriages have during that period been SOL
emnized In our temples or any other place in the
Territory.
alleged that tho marriage was performed In the
Endowment House in Salt Lake City in the Spring
OF 1899, but have not been able to learn who per-
formed the ceremony. Whatever done in this
matter was without my knowledge. In cOnse-
quence OF this alleged occurrence the Endowment
House was by my instructions taken down without
delay.
Inasmuoh rs laws have been enacted by Congress
foTbidding plural marriages. which laws have been
pronounced constitutional by the Court of last re-
sort. do hereby declare my intention to submit
20 those laws. and TO all my Influence with the

construed to inculcRie or encourage polygamy, and
when any Elder OF the church has used language
which appeared to convey such teaching. he has

refrain from contracting any marriage forbidden by

THE ARsESIASs AT HOME.

THE ARMESIASs AT HOME.
The Armenian women OF Armenia are much
different from those of Constantinople. They
have dress of their own, and they wear red
fez caps with long tassuls, much like those of
some of the country girls of Greece. They
wear a loose jacket lined with fur, and long
plain skirt of silk or other stuff. Their hair
is very luxuriaut and in the Province of Van
girls wear trousers under their skirts, aud these
trousers are of raspberry colored silk, and arc
tied at the ankles. Some of them have long
sleeveless jackets reaching to the feet, and
open at the sides up TO the waist, and others
wear gorgeous head dresses, covering the front
of the face with gold coins, which hang down
over their foreheads. These girls often wear
their whole dowry upon their person. They
have strings Of pearls about their ears, and
their necks and wrists are decorated with gold
and pearls. The poorer girls try to initiate
their richer sisters, and they are as proud as
our American servants None of them like TO
work away from home, and some of the finest
embroiderics We get from Turkey are made by
these Armenian women. The best of the work
is done By hand in novels. and tho finest OF our
American homes have Turkish emhroideries
made by these Armenians.
SOME CURIOUS CUSTOMS.
The Armenians have some queer customs In
regard to marriage. Girls are often married as

such a war is necessary. Tho Armenians of
Turkey appreciate the situation. Four years
ago they were very anxious to have Russia help
them, but they see that they are more op-
pressed under the Russian Government than
under the Turkish rule. The Armenians of
Russia have harder time than those of Tur-
key. Religious moderation is more current in
the kingdom of the Christian Gar than in that
of the Heather Sultan. 1t Is hard to get an
accurate idea of the Armenians. The books
that have been published concerning them are

plate is tied over her head and over this is
thrown a big piece Of crimson silk which covers
her whole person. In this dress she is led into
the reception-rOom, where she opens the dance
with her father, and then takes seat on
the divan 10 wait for the bridegroom. In the
meantime the Bridegroom has been putting on
his wedding garments az his own home and he
comes in grand style with band Of music to
the house Of the bride. The two are introduced
10 each other by the brides mother, their
heads are pulled together, and upon each fore
head is tied with crimson silk little cross.
This is done by the priest. The two then cross
the room, holding each others hands, and the
bridegroom gives the maiden over 10 the
bridesmaids and they are led off to church.

marriage ceremony, and after 1t Is completed
