New YORK, October 6.-Inez Coultre
of Grove City, Pa, who recently arrived
from Salt Lake City, where she has been
doing missionary work, today submitted
a statement to Gen. James r. O'Brien.
superintendent of immigration, with a
view of aiding those interested in stop
ping the immigration OF Mormons. She
says. having been a resident of Salt Lake
City for two years and during hat time
having made a study of Mormon people,
she desires aud in suppressing the traffic
now going on with ignorant, unsuspioious
foreigners by Mormons. The Mormon
church, she SAYS, pays for the passage to
this country Of converts, then pays the
railroad fare to Salt Lake City.
From her experience she says she knows
this to be a fact. The ignorant converts
come to Salt Lake City filed with prom
ises OF a life of ease and luxury and with
an idea the church will aid in their sup
port. Instead of this they are housed
like animals in miserable little adobe huts.
Upon the grinding labor of the converts
the Mormon church hourIshes. They
haye to pay one-tenth of all they possess
and one-tenth of all they earn to support
the church. Many Mormon settlements
use sage brush for fuel and have to sub
slst principally on fish which they dry and
keep for food in winter.
How they do manage is a mystery to
all" says Miss Coultre. why the Nor
mon elders bring over so many young,
ignorant girls is only too well known to
those of us who have cared to investigate
the matter. These girls have no voice in
the of their disposal and they
soon learn they are to be spiritual wives
to some of the basest creatures the church
produces. Oh, how earnestly they wish
they were again in their own land and
away from the clutches of these tyrants.
But there Is very little hope for them
after they are once in their clutches.
Why not stop them In New York before
they have become imbued with vice and
are beyond our power to help
Miss Coultre says she could cite scores
of cases that came under her observation.
In the case of one Scotch woman enticed
to Salt Lake by her own brother, the old
woman when she found out the practices of
Mormons refused to have anything to do
with them; but her children were enticed
from her and are now living lives of sin.
In CONCLUSION Miss Coultre says: Know
ing as | do, so well from personal observ-
alton the fate of these Mormon converts
l do hope the American people may come
to realize it as their duty to consider this
matter as one of vital importance to our
government and to have prohibitory
measures passed in regard to bringing
these people here. Not only would it be
a benefit to these people themselves but
to the whole country tor surely the people
who take the oaths they are obliged to
take would not become good law abiding

Made by the Governor.

SALT LAKE. Oct. 6.-At the general
conference of the Church of Jesus Christ
of the Latter Day Saints this morning the
official declaration of President Woodruff
forbidding in future any marriages in vio-
lation of the laws of the land was read and
a congregation numbering nearly 10000
persons, including the apostles, bishops
and lea1ing elders OF the church, by unan-
imous vote recognized the authority of the
president to issue a manifesto. and ac-
cepted 1t as authoritative and binding.
George Q. Cannon publicly announced
his endorsement of the manifesto and his
recognition OF the supremacy OF laws that
have been declared constitutional by the
supreme courts of the United States.
The conference als1 readopted the original
articles of faith among which is this:
I'VE believe IN being subject TO kings,
presidents. resident rulers and magistrates,
in obeylng, honoring and sustaining the
law" The action taken seems to be an
effectual bar against future polygamous
marriages in Utah. 1t is the most i'm
portant step taken by the church for more
thar a quarter of a century.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Gov. Prince of
New Mexico in his annual report makes
an earnest appeal for the settlement of
the question of land titles in that terri
tory. Of2l3 grants presented to the su-
p~ervisor general for action testimony has
been taken in 1862 end reports made to
the interior department. Previous to
1870, congress acted upon only forty-four
of those cases and during the next decade
has acted upon but one and since 1879
has not attempted TO consider any cases
whatever. The plan of having congress
act upon those claims, he says, is a pre-
posterous failure.
During the year the entries on public
lands aggregated LIB, of which 423 are
homesteads and 639 pre-emptions. The
total assessed valuation Of property in the
territory is $40, 04I ,010 and the territorial
Indebtedness $50, $50. Crops of all kinds
are fully up to the average and a larger
acreage is planted this year than ever
before. The cattle industry has greatly
improved OF late. Sheep owners also had
a good year. The mining industry is in a
iourishing condition. The total output
of gold, silver, lead and copper aggregated
over 81, 000, 900.
The governor, in conclusion, makes a
strong plea for statehood and says zone
of the territories recently admitted com
pare with New Mexico in population,
wealth, intelligence or in every quality
necessary to build up a prosperous state.

There is a young lady in the Clifton
Springs sanitarium who is under treat
ment for an uncomfortable appetite for
chocolate. To such an extent has she
eaten sweets of this kind that her skin
has become a chocolate color. Every
merchant in the place who sells choco-
late has been warned not to sell the
young lady anything containing choco-
late. A few days ago, however, the
young lady went to a store in Clifton
and asked for two pounds of chocolate
candy. The merchant told her he was
not allowed to sell her candy of that
kind, but upon her stating that she did
not want it for herself he sold her the
candy. The young lady took it to her
room, and did not desist uAil she had
eaten every particle. a severe sickness
was the result.-Boston Journal

DUBLIN, Oct. 6.-The magistrates
court at Tpperary before which the case
OF O'Brien, Dillon and others is being
heard, reconvened this morning. Their
counsel, Redmond and Timothy Healy,
were absent in consequence of an import
ant engagement elsewhere. In behalf Of
O'Mahoney Dillon produced certificates
from two Clonmel doctors stating he is
seriously i'll, and that it is impossible for
him to attend the trial. Roman, prosecu
tor for the crown objected to the %certii-
Gates as not a valid excuse and insisted
that the doctors be summoned TO testify
as to the patients condition. Dillon said
the doctors certificates would have to be
accepted as evidence. The doctors them
selves distinctly refused TO come to court
to substantiate the statements they had
already made.
Roman said that O'Mahoney through
his solicitor had placed the court at de-
dance.
Dillon declared Mr.. Romans statement
untrue. He had done his best to procure
the attendance of O'Mahoney's doctors
In court O'Bnen said the defendants
mad a right to complain against the course
OF the prosecution.
Romans remark was addressed to an au-
dience In England and was designed to in
lure the defendants.
A scene of confusion ensued. Roman
repeated the remarks again and again.
Dillon loudly denied them. The de-
fendants in the meantime protested
against the charges made by the prose-
cutor. When order was again partially
restored Dillon warmly protested against
the court taking any further adjournment.
de maintained no warrant could be Is
sued for the arrest of O'Mahoney until
the court had heard the testimony of his
doctors.
Another heated wrangle then took
place between the prosecutor and Dillon.
The court finally granted Romans request
and a further adjournment was taken
The action of the defendants who are on
oail Is likely to result in their committal
TO Clonmel Jail for contempt of court.

done considerable work already, which
shows an encouraging outlook.
The general outlook OF this section has
not been so bright for a solid boom in
many years as at present-at least SO say
the old timers. The fact that many
monied men from Colorado and the East
have been here this summer looking at
properties, and in a few instances bonded
some, lends weight to this belief They
have all seemed satisfied with what they
saw, and left with the intention of re-
turning and investing. Several experts
from Colorado have been and are now ln-
spectinR claims with a view of buying for
companies of that state, Our only draw
back heretofore has been money for devel-
opment purposes, and being so far from a
railroad it was hard to induce capitalists to
