UPROAR IN COURT.
In the Dillon and O'Brien Trial Much Ex-
element Prevails.

DTBLIN, Oct 3.-Much excitement was
occasioned in the court room at Tipperary
today by the evidence of one of the wit
nesses-a policeman-who testified that
he followed several Of the defendants into
the vestry of the Catholic church and tried
to overhear what was said there by them.
This testimony aroused the Indignation
of the counsel for the defense and he de-
manded to know if penal days had re
turned when the sanctity of the confes-
sional could be invaded.
The court room became Babel Of cries
and confusion so great that it was impos-
sible to go on with the proceedings. The
court was therefore declared adjourned for
half an hour.
When the court reconvened, a policeman
was cross-exalnined by Harrington. who
called the witness shadow" The mag
istra'e called upon the witness to with
draw the expression. Mr.. Harrington re-
fused to do so and was ordered to leave the
case. An uproar ensued, Mnssrs. O'Brien
and Dillon commenting freely upon the
management in which the case was con,
Quoted. Finally another half-hour
adjournment was ordered. Dur
ing the adjournment Harring-
ton s,clients decided to defend themselves
When the proceedings were resumed Dill
lon had just began to address the bench
when a cheer was raised for Harrington
This 20 exasperated the magistrate that he
ordered the court cleared and the proceed
lngs adjourned abruptly amid great con-
fusion. A large body of police was massed
outside of the court. There was no ri OF

just What NTufti Is.

What does ''mufti' mean? Is it al
American. an Anglicism, Il GaliciSn,
or pure undul;erated slang? In the
days of spelling and definition bees
fifteen years ago, it would have been
selected as a good word to torture as
plrantS for the prizes.
Briefly expressed. mufti is a military
term largely used in Europe and in less
degree in this country for the use Of
civil dress or plain clothes by rcgu-
lar military or naval officer entitled to
wear uniforms at all times, as was
actually done by officers in the army
or navy of the great nations up to the
close Of the last century.
In the present day there seems to be
such burning desire on the part of
officers in the army and navy of the
United States to get rid OF the evil
dences of their presumably honorable
calling that the wearing of mutt, or
plain clothes, is an almost universal
practice. Whether it is for the good of
the country that the directing to wear
inc uniforms on the streets, outside Of
parades or public professions, is eX-
tending to the nOn-commissioned
officers and priyates Of the regular ser
vice, is a question that is just now re-
celving considerable attention from the
thoughtful citizens.
Turning for a moment to the philO-
logical issue involved in the word
multi, " it appears that the term is of
Arabic origin, and was adopted into
the Hindoostani tongue to express the
assumption of plain clothes by the
officers in the service of the old East
India Company, which was a COM
mercial corporation invested with
military powers. In the original
Arabic ''mufti,' indicated a person, not
thing, namely. doctor or teacher of
religions or Mohammedan law, which
is its present primary Interpretation in
Turkey. The French speak of an
officer lin mufti'' as zen PekiD," thus
again recognizing the oriental origin
of the word. The German army uses
multi to express the assumption of
civilian clothes after being in uniform,
and the Russians recognize the term in
the same sense.-Saaa Francisco
Chronicle.

POLYCAMY IS ABOLISHED
The Church of the Latter Day Saints
Officially FOrbids Plural
Marriages.
Ten Thousand Persons Agree That
the Laws Of the Land Shall
Not be Violated.
The Vexed Question Of POlygamous
Marriages a Question Of
the Past.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. Cat d
general conference of the church of Jesus
Christ of the Latter Day Saints this morn
ing, the official declaration of Presiden t
Woodruff, forbidding in future any mar
riages in violation of the laws Of the land,
was read and the congregation, number
ing near y ten thousand persons, includ-
ing the apostles, bishops and the leading
elders of the church, by unanimous
vote formally recognized the authority
of the president to issue a
manifesto and accept it as authoritative
and binding. George Q. Cannon publicly
announced his endorsement of the mani
festo and his recognition of the supremacy
of the laws that have been declared con-
stitutiona by the supreme court of the
United States. The COZ ference also re-
adopted the original articles of
faith, among which is this
1--WE believe in being subject to kings,
presidents, rulers and magistrates in obey
ing, honoring and sustaining the law"
The action taken settles the vexed ques-
ton and places an effectual bar against
future polygamous marriages in Utah. 1t
is the most important step taken by the
church for more than a quarter of a CEN

ARE mOLESTED BY KNIGHTS.
The Other Organizations on the New 1or
Central Connlain

Inc other Organizations on the New York
Central Complain.
New YORK. Oct At is reported that
the management of the New York Central
railroad was asked by the other labor
organizations to drive the Knights of
Labor from the service of the company
A correspondent writes: 1T Is not geler-
ely known but it is tact that this latest
order not only has the approval of some OF
the other organizations. but that
the Central management has been
actually requested by representa-
tives of the locomotive and fremen's
brotherhoods to drive the knights of labor
out of the system. Members of the
brotherhoods, as in the switchmen
union, have been c mplaining ever since
the strike that thoy were molested. threat
ened, abused and were at times in state
of terror on account of the intimidation
practiced by the walking delegates and
other acts of the knights.
A committee of the locomotive engineers
brotherhood went so far as to tell Webb
that the company would have TO choose
between the engineers organization and
that of the knights. There is no opposi-
ton on the part of the Central manage
ment to any labor organization whatever
excepting the knights. In fact. il is
claimed, that all of the others are encour-
aged and supported

ONLY A LITTLE RIM Cg STEEL.
All That There Is Between = Railroad
Passenger and Eternity.

Il tell YOU what it is, remarked an
old railroad man, lit used to he that
they couldn't turn "a wheel any too fast
for me. but it's different now. The
way these fellows run nowadays makes
my hair s and on end. We used to
think that twenty-five or thirty miles
an hour was high running. People
were just as we'll satisfied, if not more
SO, than now, and there weren't so
| many accidents. Those DAYS when a
man got on the ground there was some
chance of his getting away alive, but
when you touch ground on one of these
fast runs now you're mighty liable to
stay there. People are getting to look
upon d mile as a common thing. and
are just bowling lad at road that
doesn't make it. They never stop to
think of the danger. All they think
about is getting to their destination.
Why when | stop and think of be-
ing whlrled across the country fifty
or sixty miles an hour, down hills and
around curves, with only an inch and
half of iron between ME and eternity,
get so scared | swear never to get on
a coach again. What do mean by IN
inch and half of iron? Wen. YOU
know what passenger coach is, don't
you? You know how they're built A
coach is a pretty sold thing nowadays,
and to look at one a person would
think they were pretty safe, but that's
becau"e you don't know anything
about it. The coach itself is all right
so far as it goes, but it's the wheels.
Did you ever look at the wheels? If
you did you may have noticed how
they're made. GOOD size, broad
enough and heavy enough, and witt
tire of the finest kind OF steel. But.
on the inside of the tire, you see a sort
of rim or hange. That flan@e is about
an inch and a half thick and about he
same depth. 1t doesn't look as ii It
amounted to much, that little piece of
steel, but that's what the lives of all the
passengers depend upon. That tlange
keeps the wheel to the rail and keeps
the coach from running off the track.
well, now, when a train is going
fifty miles an hour around ii curve you
see how much depends on that tiange.
The whole weight and speed of the
train is against that iiange on one side,
the outside of the curve, and it is all
that keeps the coach from WhirlinG
from the track. Suppose the tlange
broke, or. as is often the case, was
worn down and had been missed by
the car Inspector. The chances are
ten to one that the 1ange couldn't
hold, but would climb the rail and
there'd be another accident. The re-
porters would be told the rails spread
or something of that kind, and no one
but the company would know what
caused the accident.
There are a good many accidents
that happen that way, bat it doesn't
appear to be any of the public's bust
ness. AS a general rule coach wheel
is watched mighty closely, and the
minute flange begins to wear new
ones are put on, but many time an
inspector will miss wheel and then
the chances are big that there'll be an
accident. "-Ka2Sas City Star.
