The Convention Resolves.

DENVER, Col, May 21.-At the
morning session Of the Trans Missis-
sippi congress the representsti> es of
different sections urged the selection
of their cities as the next place of
meeting. Omaha seemed to have
many friends, but the matter was not
settled. A large number of resolu-
tons were introduced favoring the
Nicaragua and Hennepin canals, urg-
ing the early admission of Arizona
and New Mexico, favoring the re-
striction OF immigration, recommend
ing the amendment of the naturali-
cation law, favoring free coinage of
silver, the Torrey bankruptcy bill,
etc. Congressman Bedford, of Col
orado, made speech for free silver,
river and harbor improvements, etc.
The time was not far distant when
the clamor of the West would de-
mand that the nation give its atten-
ton to developments of the Vests
resources.
Hon. G. G. Symes spoke on silver
coinage. "The East" he said, twas
mistaken by the papers circulated by
Eastern bankers. Free coinage
would break up three-quarters of the
English commerce on the seas" Ex-
Governor Anthony, of Kansas, spoke
against free coinage, and Chairman
Ferry for it.
AT the evening session the COM
mittee on resolutions made two re-
ports on the silver resolution. The
majority favors the free coinage of
silver, but limited to tho American
product, while the minority favors
free and unlimited coinage.

The Presbyterian general assem-

presume without regard to length,
whether Ga span long" OF more, or
less. Oh! how kind, how tender,
how sympathetic of this general as
sembly to cause the eternal roasting
of innocent infants to cease! The
general assembly" would deserve
to be embraced but for the fact that
they were forced to knock out that
most beautiful plank of the creed as
mere matter of policy, for the rea-
son that the electric light of progress
and purer thought and feeling is too
bright for the Shiny form of such
doctrine, which will very soon be
forced to leave all other creeds and
crawl off into its dark den. Surely

The Mormon and Gentle Demo
Gratis of Utah have come together,
and if the union proves lasting the
Mormon party there will become
a thing of the past, and the only par
ties will be the Democratic and Re-
publican. With the forces of the
Genties again divided the Mormons
of course can soon again gain com
plete control of the Territory. Nor
mon Republicans and Gentle Re-
publicans have also coalesced, and it
looks as if the Mormons will rule each
of the parties. But if they are not
playing little sharp practice, and
the breaking up of the union of
church and politics proves as real and
sincere as it is cow apparent, 1t will
be good thing for Utah.

But few men, says the Tacoma
Globe, have ever fallen into a pot of
molten metal and escaped with few
trifling burns, yet John Adams, of
Tacoma, did it the other night. He
is an employe of the Ryan smelter,
working on the night shift, and it is
only through great presence of mind
that he was not burned to death. By
some misstep he lost his balance and
started to fall headlong into an m
mense pot of molten metal. A, he
fell he caught the rim of the pot, and
although he was immersed almost to
his armpits he drew himself out, and
with almost superhuman effort threw
himself into an adjoining pot filled
with cold water. Some of his fellow
workmen saw him cast himself into
the second pot, and, rushing to his as
sistence, rescued him. His hands
were badly burned, but otherwise he
had hardly scar on him. The Sc
cret of his escape was that he had on
heavy WOODEN underwear and outer
clothing, and before 1t had been
burned through Adams was in tho

MISUNDERSTANDING 90, 1901
AN AWE-INsPlgIxG LIE.
New York Tr bune.

In all the change of views now so
prevalent among the clergy, most of
it tending toward greater liberality
in the idea as to future punishment,
it is gratifying to see that no one has
yet predicted any milder future state
for the liar. The prospective por-
ton of the liar is pretty definitely
stated in Holy Writ, and we do not
believe that there is anybody who
wants to see it modified. How beau
tiful thing is truth-and how rare!
Usually the perverters of truth, whom
we know as liars, are, at first, at least,
thoughtless rather than vicious. In
a sorry attempt to be humorous they
forget the duty they owe to truth.
The vice grows upon its hapless vic
tins. From being, perhaps, good
citizens, they gradually sink into
common liars, undermining society
and exerting peculiarly hurtful in
fuence upon the mind Of youth. The
liar should be legislated against the
same as the lightning-rod agent.
While speaking on this painful
subject it Is our sad duty to announce
the appearance of one of the most
colossal lies of recent years. 1t comes
from Nebraska and is cold, plain
lie, without an extenuating circum-
stance. We repeat it only that we
tells it. His name is Thomas, and he
is said to be an Alliance man with
Congressional aspirations. He would
be very dangerous man to have in
Congress. The story which he tells
is this; He has a farm on the Mis-
souri, River bottom, near Elk valley.
The river began to rise and he saw
that his land would all be submerged.
He transferred his family and also his
stock and movable property to high
err ground. Here begins the lie, it.,
indeed, the farm, family and property
are not fictitious. There was on his
farm, so he says, exactly two miles of
barbed-wire fence. 1t was fve-w WIRE
fence and there were thirty-two barbs
to the rod, or grand total Of l02, 400
barbs. Yet this industrious liar and
the other no less enterprising prevar-
lcator, the hired man, baited every
one of these barbs with a small bit of
meat. They finished and escaped to
the bluffs just as the water came up.
For twenty-six hours the water re-
NAMED FIVE feet above the top of the
fence. Then the river receded and
the hardened and disreputable man
Thomas went down and examined
his fence. He found, so he has the
assurance to say, fish hanging from
every barb except three, or 102, 29S
in all. There were pickerel, bass,
pike, suckers and many other varie
ties. They averaged ten pounds
each in weight, giving him the as
tonishing total of 1923, $50 pounds of
fresh fish. He discharged the hired
man because he had not properly
baited the three barbs which failed to
catch any fish,

sam Small is Hot.

An Atlanta, Georgia, special says:
"Rev. Sam Small, who is low in To-
ronto, has addressed circular to the
people of America concerning his
trouble with the Ogden, Utah, uni
versity, of which he is President. He
says the kilograms attacking him are
sent out by that "infamous liar, Rev.
j. Wesley Hill, of the First Metho-
dist church at Ogden." He goes on
to say that the Ogden University
scheme was ga private snap specula-
tion," and that the aforesaid Hill
elves double life." Small is equal
ly severe on the board of directors,
boldly charging them with getting
up bogus subscription lists and rob
bing Salt Lake of the institution.
He concludes; Cup to this hour |
have stood between the church | love
and the exposure of this whole scan
dalous Utah situation, but now
must let the truth be known"

FsreteiIing storms by tho Telephone

The telephone is about to have a
new application-that of foretelling
storms. A new discovery has been
made as to one of the properties Of
this means of transmitting sound.
by placing two iron bars at seven or
eight meters distance from each 9th
er and then putting them in commu-
nication on one side by copper wire
covered with rubber, and on the 9th
er side with telephone, storm can
be predicted at least twelve hours
ahead through a dead sound heard in
the receiver. According as the storm
advances the storm resembles the
beating of large hailstones against
the window. Every flash of light
ming and of course every clap of
thunder that accompanies the storm
produces a shock similar to that of
the stroke of stone cast between
The diaphragm and the instrument.

IMPRISONED FOR LOVE

A Lads Unhappy Fascination for
Baltimore's disappearing Girl"
BALTIMORE, Sept. 14.-Beatrice Nye,
the disappearing girl" whose trimmings
away from home have frequently
brought her into public notice, has been
the cause of the committal to the house
of refuge Of Charles Bond, a bright
young lad of 18, who had fallen in love
with her. Mrs. Bond, who looked with
Horror upon the possibility of an elope-
ment, begged her son to cease his at
tentions to the girl, but the fascination
of Beatrice was too strong for him to
overcome.
His mother learned that Charles was
at the house of Mrs. Nye and straight
way had him arrested and sent to the
house of refuge.
Beatrice was in the court room when
the sentence was passed. She attempted
to give Charles parting embrace, but
was caught and led to seat, when she
fell sobbing on her mothers bosom. She
then told the justice that though she
loved young Bond she would never
speak to him again if they would only
release him, as she did like not to see
him committed for her sake.
This was not allowed, as the boys
mother graphically declared that she
had passed night in prayer over the
matter and was positive her course was
the correct one to pursue.

Policeman Baker fired shot after him.
The fugitive at once dropped to the side
walk and lay there as il dead. The Of
ficer summoned help, and the uncon-
scious man was taken to tho Hahne-
mann hospital. The physicians at the
hospital could find no marks-of injury
on the man, and they commenced to
make tests to see if any life was left.
The mans feet were barred and full
electric current applied to the soles
This was something that the corpse"
had not anticipated and with a horri-
fed yell he bounded to his feet and COM
menced abusing the physicians for their
methods, which he claimed were cruel.

An Adventure with a wild Cat.

On August 20, Mrs. Mary Smith, who
keeps segar store at No. 403 East
Ninth street, and Miss Vena Mayne, a
young lady who boards with her.
started from this city to visit Miss
MayDe's brother who resides at Still
water N. Y. On Wednesday, Septem-
Der ., the ladies started on horseback
to visit Delaware Water Gap, 10 miles
distant. AS they were passing over
the top OF the Blue Mountains, large
wild cat, Weighing 35 pounds, which
was concealed in tree, sprang on the
horse ridden by Mrs. Smith, and sank
its claws deep into tho animals flesh.
The horse reared and Mrs. Smith was
thrown off. when Miss Mayne, who was
armed with Winchester rifle. shot the
vicious brute through the heart.
Mrs. Smith recovered her horse, and
the two rode to an inn, about one
mile.distant, whore the horses wounds
which were slight, were dressed. The
wild cat was sent to New York where
the skin will be tanned and divided
between the ladies', as a souvenir of
one of the most exciting adventures
of their lives. Mrs. Smith escaped
with a few slight scratches, and Miss
Mayne, who is very skillful in using
a rifle, is justly proud of her aehleye-
ment. The ladies have now gone up
the Hudson, to visit an uncle, but will
return to this city in a short time.
