GERMANS AT TIE TABLE.
A Banquet rendered to E.
A. Otto. the Artist.
1t Was in Consideration Of the Valuable
Services BE Rendered in Behalf of
the Altenheim Fair.

A pleasing sequel to the recent AItenheim
fair was an honorary dinner rendered to
E. A. Otto, the artist, by members of the
Verein Arion and some other admirers of
the admirable work performed by Mr.. Otto
before and during the fair.
The dinner was served in a restaurant on
Bush street and forty covers were laid.
The table was richly decorated with
flowers and evergreens and a pretty little
boutonniere laid alongside Of each guests
plate.
In the room lifelike bust of the guest of
the evening, executed by +. Peano. occupied
a prominent position.
John H. Sievers, the president OF the
Arion, was toastmast ter, and it was he who
made the opening remarks.
Mr. Sievers said that the splendid results
obtained by the management of the fair
were largely due to MIR. Otto's tireless
efforts and to his artistic taste.
E. A. Otto responded at length. He
modestly dlsclalmed any particular merit
of his performance. and CALAMITY said that
all the praise so literally bestowed upon
himself was really due to the ladies. who
by their efforts made the entertainment a
grand success.
lie then mentioned SeNeTal Oh the leaulDR
workers. especially Mrs. Caroline Rooster,
the president of the fair. and proposed the
health of the ladies, which was responded
to enthusiastically.
William Westerfeld was the next
speaker. He talked humoTously, but dur
ing his remarks he came nearly TO grief,
because he incantiouSy referred to those
present as "old faces" The graybeards
around the table resented this allusion 10
their age and the speaker was forced 10
coTTec: himself by stating that lie really had
meant familiar faces" only.
Henry Plagemann and John L. Roster
spoke briefly, and Fred Hitzigrath, the
manager OF the German Theater Company,
made some very entertaining remarks.
The menu was elegant, and as the good
things IL contained passed around the jolly
spirits Of the banqueters rose higher and
higher.
Cheers were given for the guest of the
evening, the ladies, the Verein Arion, Claus
Spreckels. who donated $1,000 10 the Alien
helm fair, and many others.
1t was a late hour when the party ad-
journed, singing and speechmaking being
the programme of the evening.

No MORMON CAN VOTE.
The Idaho Test Oath Is Declared to BE
Constitutional.

The Idaho Test Oath Is Declared to Be
Constitutional.
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 16-The Supreme
Court mas unanimously sustained the con-
stltutionality Of the idaho test-oaIh law.
The decision in which this conclusion is
reached was handed down this afternoon by
Justice Huston in the case OF Joseph r.
Sheppard VS.. Hyrum Grimmett, Registrar Of
Paris Precinct, in Bear Lake County. The
plaintiff is Mormon who offered to reg
lister, upon subscribing to the oath embrac-
ing the constitutional provision and ignoring
the additional qualification of the test-Oath
law enacted by the first State Legislature.
The additional qualification is that the
eleetoT shall not, since January. 1888, have
belonged to any organization that teaches
or has taught, encourages or has enc0ur-
aged polygamy, the constitutional provision
being simply that be shall not practice
p0ygamy or belong TO an organization that
teaches or encourages it.
An application was made to the Supreme
Court for writ of mandamus to compel the
Registrar to register Sheppard, and it is
upon this application the ruling has been
made.
The constitution provides that the LeRis-
nature may provide additional qualifications
for the exercise of the right of suffrage, and
under this provision the Legislature
adopted the additional qualification re-
ferred to.
The principal objection urged to this was
that it was retroactive and ex post facto,
and was therefore void. The court, how
ever. finds that the provision does not come
under the character Of an eX post facto
law. Ex post faeto laws are defined as
laws relating to penal and criminal pro-
ceedingS which impose punishments or for
feiture, and not TO civil proceedings which
affect private rights retrospectively, and
are not applicable to civil laws, but to
penal and criminal laws only"
The right Of franchise is next considered
and is shown to be privilege rather than
right, over which the law-making power,
when 50 authorized by the constitution. has
entire authority 70 prescribe such Qualifca-
tons as are deemed best. Numerous cases
are cited and the history Of Mormon legs-
lation In Idaho is briefly reviewed.
In refusing TO grant the mandamus and
in holding the law to be entirely c)nstitu-
tional the court states that il conditions
have arisen since the law was passed
which make ii desirable that the law should
be changed application must be made
direct to the Legislature.
This decision will prevent the M0rmons
OF Idaho voting at the election next month.

She was 80 years of age and married.
The g:ipman in charge of the dummy
from which the unfortunate woman fell
when asked about the matter said that two
women sat on the dummy seat aud had a
dog with them. They were playing with
the animal and as the dummy vas making
turn the elder Of the two women. who had
turned partly In her seat toward the dog,
fell. The train was stopped within short
distance from where the woman fell and the
gripman went 10 her assistance. In the
meantime the dog jumped from the dummy
and ran off and the younger Of the two
women went after it, The PROSTATE woman,
who was unconscious, was picked up and
she was subsequently sent to the hospital.
When the gripman learned OF the death
Of Mrs. Spiesz he surrendered himself to

nor was any charge preferred against him.
