fairs IN Utah.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Members of
the Utah commission have filed with Sec
rotary Noble majority and minority re-
ports of the proceedings of the commits
sion for the year ended Sept l.. 1891.
The majority report, signed by Messrs.
Godfrey, Robertson, Saunders and vii.
liams. says in regard to the Mormon
church: In view Of the fact that the
Mormon church has invariably in the past
dictated the political movements OF its
adherants and presented a united front
against any and every party that came In
contact with it, those who now doubt its
sincerity may well be excused for doubt
ing. That the church has, through the
peoples party, s~trenuously opposed every
effort whether by laws of congress, action
OF the courts or OF the Utah commission
to put down polygamy. 1t has denounced
the commission through all the years that
it has been administering the laws directed
against polygamy. and kept a united force
constantly standing and ready to oppose
every effort to compel its submission to
the laws OF the land.
When Acknowledgement stared the
church in the face, when the city and
county Of Salt Lake. the city of Ogden
and county OF Weber and Park City had
been wrested from its control and other
places were showing signs of becoming
anti. Mormon, then, and not till then, did
this change come" The commission
hopes it is the beginning of a better era.
1t is glad. says the report, to record the
steps already taken on the road to a better
civilization; will aid with all its power in
forwarding the good work, but cannot
recommend the withdrawal at this time
of any portion of the safeguards thrown
around this people by the lawmaking
power of the government and is most
emphatic in expressing the opinion that it
would not at this time be safe to entrust
to them the responsibilities aud duties of
statehood, which they so much desire.
The minority report, which Is signed

that it would not be either just or polite
to extend by law the range of existing
civil disabilities indiscriminately to al
Mormons. McClcrnand recommends
that the unreserved and Incorporated
lands of the United States lying in the
naturally arid states and territories should
be ceded to them under proper stipula-
tons.

CHICAGO, Oct. ga reporter for the
Associated Press called upon President
James Hart of the Chicago club today to
learn what steps he proposed taking in
regard to the alleged throwing Of games
to the Boston club in order to defeat Chi
cago in the race Tor theipeunant. Mr.
Hart said, In part: Il do not share the
opinion of many hat 1t was a combined
effort on the part of the Eastern clubs TO
throw the championship to Boston. That
team of late has been playing a strong
game and might possibly have won five
straight from New York on their merits;
bat it is very unfortunate for them and
all concerned that the title of the pennant
should be clouded by the suspicious ac-
tons of those in control of the placing OF
the New York team. From present In
formation and from private advlces from
Boston L canuot but feel there has been
either downright dishonesty on the part
of the New York club or gross incom
petency on the part Of those in control OF
the team in the PLAYED in Boston. y
Mr.. Hart cited repeated putting in OF
incompetent pitchers and catchers and
taking out of good fielders in the last two
games, making the team hopelessly weak,
and said if New York were so badly
broken up as they claimed why did they
consent to playing two extra games in
Boston, one of which should have been
been played In New York. Mr.. Hart
said he would leave no stone unturned to
probe the matter to the bottom and place
the responsibility where it belongs, and
insist upon the expulsion of the guilty
parties, be they "magnate' managers,
captains or PLAYERS.

Simeon HOlton, a mechanical genius.
has just died at Middlebury. In 1881 he
made the celebrated Garfield clock. which
excited the admiration of all who saw it,
and which was exhibited several weeks
at Bunnell's museum in New York
Every time it struck the hour this clock
reproduced in realistic way all the main
scenes in the Garfield tragedy from the
shooting of the president in the station
to the final appearance of Guiteau upon
the galiows. Another invention in this
line is an upright clock, the figures run
ming from the bottom to the top. The
hand moves from l O'Clock at the bottom
to y O'Clock at the top, then drops to
the bottom and begins over again. Mr..
Holton was also the originator of the
escapement. He also made a watch
which, with the exception of some por-
tions Of the works, was fashioned entire
~ of ivory and was great curiosity.
He invented the metallic thermometer
and the metallic barometer and made a
self-registering thermometer, which runs
by a clock-work and goes eight days at
a stretch. In addition to his many other
inventions he built the first sewing ma
chine ever made with the shuttle carried
on a carriage, and it is now in the Shell
don museum in Waterbury. Mr.. HoltOn
was born in Mortified, Mass, July u,
1922. and was one of large family. He
belonged to various Masonic orders and
had many warm personal friends.
