MORMON CONVERTS.
Pretty Girls Willing to be one of Eight
Wives.

New YORK, Oct. Especial THE
authorities at the barge Office this morn
ing used an immense amount of moral
suasion on thirty-two young Nor
mons who arrived on the steamer Wyo-
ming to induce them to forego their in
tention of becoming prosclytes to tho
Mormon faith.
The girls were separated from the
other passengers as they landed and
placed In room by themselves. Three
female missionaries from the Emigrant
Girls LONE went among them and tried
to convince them of the folly Of their
course. 1t was very hard undertaking.
One of the girls, Karer Sylvestersen
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 all the
barge office authorities can do is to use
persuasion, the entire party will pro-
coed on their journey tomorrow by the
Oid dominion Line via Newport News.
Virginia.
The party comprises all told 252 souls,
oil whom thirty-two are children. Among
the lot is a married English woman who
lett her husband i'll England to take IN
the Mormon faith. She said she was
called and compelled to go. She re-
fused to tell her name.

"TIIEM STEERS"
A Pair of Cattle at the Slaughter Pen
with II Questionable Ownership

Pair of Cattle ut the Slaughter Pen
with II questionable Ownership
poorly clad countryman offered two
fat steers for sale at the market ycster-
day morning. One buSsher offered to
hay and the price asked ras $50, but the
man readily offered to take S35.
The butcher suspected from the ap-
pearance and manner of theman that he
was trying to sel] stolen property, and
asked that he produce proof of his own
ership. The man left and soon came
back with one of the most disyeputable
negroes on Railroad avenue. The ne
gro's testimony was not deemed suffi-
cient, and tramp was brought next,
but the butcher still declined to pur-
chase, and the steers are still at the,
slaughter pen, the pretended owner hav-
ing disappeared.

Don't put up" with wretchedly poor
light, even if you use lamps; and don't keep
them within reach of the children.
For the obtaining Of the first, get good
burners, even if you have cheap lamps. For
the second, fasten all lamps in brackets as far
as possible above the little ones heads.
Chandeliers can be had in beautiful designs
for lamps as well as gas, and at just as wide a
range of prices
All lamps should be filled in the daytime
and at regular hour. They must not be toe
full: they must be very carefully wiped off.
The globes and chimneys should be kept clean
and clear The wicks are best trimmed by
simply rubbing off the charred surface.
The light is often affected by the holes in
the burner becoming clogged. This can be
remedied by boiling the burners in strong so
luton of washing soda.-Good Housekeeping.

POSTAGE STAMP LORE.

The stamps of France are the most compli-
Gated and ininitabie of all stamps in use.
The tRothschilds have a collection of post
age stamps valued at a quarter of a million
francs.
Postage stamps were permanently intro
duced into France in 1913, having been issued
by the republicans.
In the Berlin museum there are 4, 800 speci-
mems, so it is said. of which 2,46O are Euro
pean and ,147 from America.
There are over 80 postage stamp sellers in
Paris, which shows what q rage Frenchmeu
have for collections Of this kind.
The French navy department in Paris has
au,assed, not merely a huge album, but a
gigantic library of such precious trlf1es. 1t
is the largest collection in the world.
There is a ''lost pleiad," so to speak, in the
shape of postage stamp issued by the gov
ernment of British Guiana in 1856, which
now commands, at public auction, about
$3.50
A postage stamp exchange and mart was
opened in Vienna in 1887. 1t holds its assizes
in a large seven Widowed room, has its
regular organization officers and even an
organ.
There exists in Paris a regular market or
exchange for old stamps. Ii is held every
Sunday afternoon in the Avenue Gabriel,
Champs Elysees, and is attended by some
fifty or sixty persons Of all ages and socia
