HAnd that is?'
HWhy, the speaker ought not to be
permitted to waste so much good muscle
pounding that empty desk with his gavel.
These are Unitarian times, and our states
men ought to see the advantage to be de-
rived from conservation of all their
forces. Now, if they would only put q
big hammer instead of gavel into the
Speakers hand, and place an anvil in
stead of useless desk before him, he

mighty effort go for nothing more than
noise.'
"But if we are to have reform why
not go to the root of the difficulty and
cast out the gavel altogether" sug-
gested. f'It is apparent that the gavel
has lost its power TO produce order in the
house. The speaker may rap until the
COWS come home, but the racket goes on
just the same. The gavel only adds its
own noise to the other. Would it not be
better to let the speaker stand behind q
heap of bricks and fire one at every
member whom he might wish to call to
order?''
Mr.. Mast had to admit that this was au
idea, wholly in keeping with
Bhe growing spirit OF the times.

the twenty -one-year- old son of John I. Mosier,

the cellar of the family residence at midnight
last night by shooting himself throgh the

one of the brightest of the high school
graduating class, and had been selected by tn
Attic debating society to compete in q prize de-
bate for valuable medal. The debate was set
for last night, and the coptestants appeared on
the rostrum. After delivering a part of the
speech which Mosier hid ably prepared his
memory failed him, andss.he could not
finish his argument, and wassc, forced
to take his seat, having failed
in what he had hoped tamake the fnest-effort of
his life. HumiliEesd at the outcome of the de-
bate, the young nnen declined to accept the in
vitation OF party1f friends to join them at an
ice cream parlor, but repaired Immediately to
his home whereNle secured the revolver and
thus ended his life. He was found q few min

with a bullet hole in his breast. He was
dead when found. The boy had substituted an

It is supposed that his mind had been somewhat

New YORK, May 14.-The steamship
Wyoming this morning brought to this
port 1877 Mormons from Norway, Sweden
and Denmark, who were brought over
by Adolph Anderson, Mormon mission
airy from Logan City, Utah.
At the barge Office they were
carefully examined by contract
labor inspectors with view to excluding
them as contract laborers. They were
allowed, however. MIR. MIlholland,
chief inspector, said that although he be-
lieved they could rightfully be excluded,
it was not deemed expedient to have this
done at present. They came under con-
tract, and employment had been assured
to them. A test case of this kind, he
said, would be made soon.

Speaking OF ensembles. know there ara some
women who take the position that it is wrong, in
fact, time and money wasted, to strike for q
brilliant ensemble. Say they, and with some
reason, a woman should aim to do some one
thing well and stake her fame it. In dress,
for instance, she should make study of her
good points, and select one for her best thought.
1t may be bonnets or shoes or wraps OF dresses
or even gloves. The philosophy of the position
is that no man or woman OF intelligence goes
over toilet like secondhand dealer previous
to making bid, A woman's foot or face or fig
ure attracts mans notice, and ask him ques-
tons relating to any wart OF her toilet and he is
dumb.
