The Mormons' Fad Faith.

SALT LAKE, Sept. 16.-The September
term of the second district court at Beaver
has just closed. In sentencing some of the
prisoners convicted of unlawful cohabita-
ton, Judge Anderson remarked, when the
accused would not promise TO obey the
laws in the future, that it seemed strange.
They were proclaiming abroad that polyg-
amy is not being practsed in Utah, yet
there was an unusually large number Of
such offenders appearing at every term for
sentence, and they would not even promise
TO obey the laws. Their pretensions Of
obedience proclaimed to the world were
made in bad faith.

Will Test the Laws.

An association of Iowa brewers and
liquor dealers have retained Chicago at
torneys to look after their interests in con-
nection with testing the validity Of tho
Wilson substitute for the original package
law. This will be attacked on the ground
that, while the United States congress has
TO control commerce between the states, il
has not power to delegate that power to
any state. Tho lawyers engaged were
those who carried to the United States
supreme court the case in connection with
which the original package decision was
given. There are several test cases await
ing trial, and these will be the most i'm
portant suits which have as yet grown out
of the Iowa prohibition law.

Great Fires Raging.

ELLENsBURG, WASH, Sept. 16.-Forest
fires have been raging in the mountains
along the line of the Northern Pacific
since last Thursday. AS the forests are
very dense. it has been feared that IL was
hardly safe to run the gauntlet of ths
flames, but the passengers have in all cases
been carried through in safety. Satur-
day night, however, all traffic was sus-
pended. The flames reached q large pile
of ties lying along the track and the heat
was so intense, that the rails for distance
of 500 feet were warped out of shape.
There was no attempt to run any trains
through Saturday night, but early yester-
day morning a large gang of men were
put on to repair the damage. The fires
are still raging.

Blnck Hair IL Expensive.

braicd for possessing MAJ vclously long
fine hair Of this coveted bluo-black hue.

with the advantages OF turning llnir
farmers, and prefer their hair to its
equivalent in filthy lucrc. The Japanese
women. who also have this bluc-blacli
hair, regard II rs n great beauty. takc
much pride In dressing IL. an operation
which they take great care not to per-
form too often, and do not cvincc the
smallest inclination TO use IL in com
mcrcial way. Their Chinese sisters,
on the other hand, frequently dispose
OF their locks. but as rule. these arc
uncompromisingly straight, rather
coarse, and possess only the advan.
iagcs Of length and color.

Listen to what Tennessee Represent
ative, one grown bald-headcd in the

"The life of Congressman is n
dogs life. lie is pack borse. lie is
cursed by his foes and ridden to death
by his friends. lie does the work Of

committees, ovcr-run with correspond

that turns to ashes on your lips"
"But, Col. T-,'-all, mustn't
give his name, for he Is already can
didate for c-elcction-"but isn't there
glory in til"
The statesman reilectively ran his
fingers through his bald hair, and re-
"Po'"su

private life affords less worry, less re-
sponsibility, and more truo enjoyment
than this highly-straincd public life,
with its garish footlights and mimic
stage trappings."
The Congressman quoted above has
had his ambition crowned, but the
crown rests heavily on his bald dome
of thought. And yet he may find
much TO console him. lie has risen to
the position of demi-god in the esti-
nation of the people of his district.

The British South African Company.

The Duke of Fife made statement
at the Mansion House recently which
will give pleasure TO everyone who is
interested in the English share in tho
civilization of Africa. At meeting
organized by the Aborigincs' Protcc-
tive Society, with the object of for
warding to the Brussels Conference
resolutions against the unrestricted inn
portation of arms and alcoholic liquors
into the African Continent, he an
nounccd that the British South African
Company, of which he is the chairman,
had resolved to carry out the articles
of its charter, empowering 1t to deal
with the arms and liquo: questions to
tho extent of absolutely prohibiting
the sale of them to tho natives. Tho
company, he further added, is working
in active cooperation with the Africa
Lakes Company in the Nyassa region,
and is rapidly making arrangements
for establishing steam locomotion on
the Zambesi and the Shire, and n
monthly postal service between the sea
and the mission stations.
Ihat Is to say, that the new CONNER
cial kings of Africa are doing what the
King of the Belgians, who is rcspon-
siblc for so large part. of 1t in the
Congo Free State, has already done to
the extent of his ability, and Inns caused
TO be embodied in the proposals which
Belgium has offered as a scheme of
civilization for the consideration of the
Conference of Brussels. The British
South African Company is in CORE
spondence with the King Of the Bel
gians, and though il is not officially
represented ut the Conference, it is pre-
sumablc that the wishes of n power
likely to be before long of so much
Importance in Central Africa will count
for scarcely less than the wishes of its
brother monarchs. This is ms it should
be. II can only be by combination
of European forces that the wrongs
which Europe has done TO Africa can
be rcdrcsscd. We have heard the
African native spoken Of often enough
as child. We ought to realize that TO
allow firearms and gin to pass freely
into Africa is literally as mischicvous
rs TO allow them to circulate in
nursery.
