yuu THOMAS clS,RD.

ORR readers will remember the sen
.,tlonal Thomas ease, which went the
rounds Of the American pres only a
abort time ago. Thomas aud his family
were said to have Is aped from Utah
whero his life was threatened II he
would no, Join the "Mormon" Church
This persecution was alleged to have
taken place at sc5neld. which Is about
ms mile. from Salt Lake City. the
paprr. stated that Thomas Jumped into
the Detroit river under the impression
that tho Enormous" "siill pnisued'
him, and his widow and children were
helped 10 wales by contributions from
sympa,hlz ny travellers.
We exposed tho story by the AMI
davIu Of both "Mormoif' and nom
"AIormonv residents q Sconeld, who
avowcd that no such pressure was ever
brought upon Thomas, aud by the
statement from New York that tho
whole Thomas family, the "sulcide"
inoluded, had sailed Tor the old ooun.
Try.
Now, we are In receipt 81 a commu'
nlcation from Sconeld containing the
substance Of letter from Wales with
further particulars, which are as fol
lows:
"Thomaa Thomas and wife and baby
arrived safe on saturday evening,
March 18th, 1891. When no got out OF
tho ears to look afisr their baggage no
wns loft behind, and on his arrival at
Now York he found that throo Of the
children hal boon takon on 10 tho ship
by another party golag TO Wales, arriving
at Liverpool on tho 10Th inst, md were
iakon caro- Of nh tho way to tho town OF
Abordarc. Glamorganshlrc, South waloa,
which caused great deal NJ talk among
the people In the country who wondered
what was the cnusc OF tho family leaving
sconold 70 suddenly.
"Mr. Thomas found his vito In tho
hospital At Now York and was delayed
until the 18th inst. There he received a
telegram on the arrival Of the
children afor very rough passage.
Mr.. Thomas aud his wife and baby had
asplondld voyage. lie said that he had
TO soil hi. watch aud revolver for food on
his way To New York amer tho family, a.
his wife had all the money on hor person
all tho way, on tholr arrival In Wales,
hundreds of people had gathered around
tho depot Tho occasion was one that
caused all kinds OF rumors."
The people Of Scoficld are Justly in-
censed over the stories that have been
set ailoat about their attempting to
coercc people Ia religious matters.
They are liberal minded and pro.
grcssivc citizens, and IA Is certain there
was not the slightest foundation for the
tale Of "Alormon" persecution, which
was doubtless invented by thu nme
Detroit reporter who made up the
fiction about the sulcide Of Thomas.
10, far we have seen no correction OF
the falsehoods circulated by the press
Of the country concerning this matter,
aud we do not expect that our con.
temporaries east, who promptly pub.
llsh any absurd untruth about thu
"Mormona," win makc any atiempt to
give their readers the facts In relation
10 the Thomas canard.

This morning on boarding the II. q.

qusintance with company Of tourists
was renewed.
On Friday last the party visited
Garfield Beach and many Inquiries
were then made regarding Utah aud
its PEOPLE, and n cordial invitation was
extended 10 the visitors 10 attend
Tabernacle services on SUNDAY. On
meeting the tourists this morning the
the conversation was renewed, and
many complimentary remarks were
made with reference TO tho large at.
tendance nj meeting, the beautiful
ninging, the fcrvent prayer, and Elder
Nicholson's earnest aud spirited dis
course. The writer at this point pro-
duccd this mornings Tribune and
directed attention TO the malicious and
false report published therein Of the
services referred to. Needless to say II
had the desired effect. sympathy with
n people NO assailcd and maligned was
freely expressed, and Indignation that
the public press should be thus prosti-
tuted. several hours werc then spent
In explaining the doctrines believed In
by the Laiter.day Saints, the organiza.
ton OF the Church aud various points OF
history not generally understood, such
M the character Of Joseph Smith, Brig
ham Young and other; the martyr
dom, early settlement Of Utah, etc.

throwing some light on the subject,

THE MAGAZINES.

The most timely and interesting feature
of the September nunfber of the New Eng
land Magazine is a finely illustrated article
on the late Edward Burgess and his boats.
The writer is A. g. McVey, the yacting
editor of the Boston Herald. who was for
some years an intimate friend of the fam
GUS yacht designer and builder. Outline
sketches and photographers of his best
known yachts. the winners of the inter-
national races, embelish a thoroughly we'll
written article. Mrs. Kate Gannett Wells
opens the number with a sketch OF Campo
bello and its old brass cannon, around
which linger some of those memories savor-
ing of feudal days, which William Black
has made so familiar in his stories of the
Orkneys. E. P. Powell. who is asso-
ciated with W.. o. Mcdowell. the leading
spirit in the movement to draw the republics
of the world into closer bonds, writes with
fine enthusiasm on "a Pan-Republic Con-
gress." This preparation of the world for
democracy is, he thinks, the work of this
nineteenth century and q fitting gift of this
generation to those to come after. Charles
Howard Shinn, the well-known Californian
writer, contributes a paper on 1.-The Uni
versity of California" It is wellf iilus-
trated, and very interesting. It shows the
growth of a great institution in spite of the
Indifference and political opposition of the
demaeoRues and millionaires of the Pa
cifo coast. DR.. Prosper Bender in an ar
ti,le on 1.-THE French Canadian P~easantry'
gives US an insight into the conduct of cleo
tons in French Canada. which is very en-
Pertaining and instructive. Himself a
French Canadian, he does not hesitate to
declare that there is almost universal cor
~ruption in French Canadian electorates.

ip, Pontiac and Teoumseh." the prophets

AT the rate experiments arc going on
in the atmosphere above us we shall
get into trouble yet. A North Dakota
man, melted by tho rain producing ok
periments, ia making tremendous
smudges to keep off frost. He reports
his experiments rs, entirely successful.
Serious complications are likely to grow
out OF this business. For instance, has
a lazy and belated farmer, who has not
gathered his crops when he should, any
right to besmudge the clear and invig-
Grating ether, which his neghbor could
otherwise enjoy? What with flying
machines, with no rules as to their right
of way, and gentlemen who are scraping
the skies with dynamite bombs for rain,
and the smudge tiends, the situation is
growing very threatening, to say the
least.

MEXICO has framed a Mckinley bill
OF its own, and proposes to protect itself
against the United States or get such
concessions in a reciprocity treaty as to
give her own people an advantage. All
kinds of printed matter from this coun-
try are heavily taxed for the benefit of
Mexican printers. Crude petroleum.
now paying one cent per kilogram gross
weight, has been raised to two cents per
kllogram net weight; tallow from seven
cents per kilogram to ten cents; sheep
from thirty-five cents to a dollar and a
half each; mules from two dollars to five
dollars; cattle from three dollars each to
three cents per kilogram. The Mexi-
cans will admit coal, telephone and tele-
graph material, iron pipes and wood
pulp free Of duty. 1t is q tariff for re-
taliation and a plain notice to the United
States that if this country wants to en-
large its trade with Mexico it must cease
it's exactions.
