LILIES OF THE DESERT
WHO HAVE BEEN RELEASED
FROM MORMON FETTERS.
FAIR DAUGHTERS OF AN UNLA-
MENTED SIRE.


Now that Mormonism has been eff
fectively squelched by the United States
government, a glance at the personnel
of some of the free women of Utah will
not lack interest. Among them are the
fairest of the fair. Most notable are
the women who claim the parentage of
Brigham Young, the great foster father
of Mormonism in America. The direct
decendents of the late president are
noted above all other women
of Utah for beauty of face
and form. The blonde type of beauty
is predominant. In girlhood they are
willowy and dainty in figure: in
womanhood short and inclining to en-
bonpoint.
Fannie Young, who recently became
the wife of Isaac Clayton, is the young
est of the group of lily blondes which
comprises Winnie Kimball, Mrs. Albert
Young, Lulu Clawson, Mrs. Spencer
Clawson, Bessie Dean, Minnie Claw
son and others. She is a
woman of 90 or % of medium height
and with round, girlish figure. Her
face is full, soft oval in outline, her
complexion is creamy and colorless.

HAS SLEPT SINCE JUNE
And 1t Is Now Believed That Death Is
Near.


Miss May White, the young woman
who has now been asleep for $50 days,
is losing her strength, and though DIR.
Brown, who has attended her during
her strange sickness, thought until
quite recently she would recover. he
now admits that she cannot live. He
write from Ingham township, Mich,
where he and his patient are, that Miss
White is losing strength and cannot
last many days.
Miss White is % years of age and is
the youngest daughter of Palmer White,
who has been proprietor of a general
country store in the township of Ing
ham for a score or more of years, and
whose family is known all over Ingham
and jackson counties, says a Lansing
correspondent in an exchange. May is
the youngest of three children. She
has brother and sister and the latter
has been in constant attendance upon
the sleeping girl since she was over
taken by the strange, nalady which has
so sorely puzzled the physicians. In
1890 May was taking a course in book
keeping and shorthand at Cleary's

PHANTOM SAILORS.
The English ship GIengarry in Charge Of
Spirits.

Spirits.
The English ship Glengarry engaged
in the carrying trade between Liver
pool and San Francisco has become a
terror to seamen. On a recent trip and
in the midst of one of those fierce
storms that occasionally disturb the
generally placid waters of the Pacific.
the sailors while reefing the gallant
sail were Mortified to find that they
were assisted by pantom companions.
To San Francisco reporter one of the
sailors gives the following account of
the spectacle.
at all lies with the Captain who
formerly commanded her. and whose
name was Lisle. That man would
'hoodoo' the best ship that ever floated.
and no matter what Captain has charge
of the Glengarry now he always has
trouble with his crew. Why. on the
trip to Sidney every seaman in the fore
castle was locked in for fourteen DAYS.
The Captain said it was for refusing to
bend the main-Sail. so he fed us on
bread and water until we agreed to
bend the sail after dark.
The Glengarry is a fast ship, and
Capt. Lisle used to drive her for all she
was worth, and in consequence has lost
more men than any two masters who
ever had charge of vessel. One night
while on the passage from Liverpool 70
Baltimore he carried sail until she
drove into big sea that took twelve
men off the deck at once, and every man
of them was lost.
On the next passage the foretop-
gallant mast was carried away, while
seven men were on the top-gallsnty yard
furling the sail, and not a man of the
seven was saved.
THAT was his last trip in the Glen
