mormons and the Government Authorities.


We believe there are no where in the Union
more l0yql people than the Latter-day Saints.
They know no other country except this. They
expect TO live and die on this soil.
To be st peace with the government and in
harmony with their fellow-citizens who are not
OF their faith, and to share IN the confidence Of
the government and people, our people have
voluntarily put aside something which all their
lives they haYe believed to be a sacred princi-
pie. AS shepherds OF patient and
suffering people, we ask amnesty for Them and
pledge our faith ana honor for their future.

To the President:
We have the honor to forward herewith a pc
tition signed by the president and most infuen-
tial members of the Mormon church. We have
40 doubt Of its sincerity and doubt that it is
antended in absolute good faith. The signers in
clude some who were most determined in adher
ing to their religious faith while polygsmy
either mandatory or permissive was one of its
tenets, and they are men who aOotili not lightly
pledge tier rain and honor to the government
or subscribe to such docu ment without having
fully resolved to make thei words good in let
ter and spirit.

Some were purple passion flowers, 9th

ers were crumplcd roses, but the most
of them were gorgeous poppics of every
hue.
Instead of forming partial screen
from the light these poppics cover the
entire globe of the chandelier or gas
jet. They look as if they had dropped
over the globe, but in reality the petals
are fastened to brass ring which fits
around the top of it. The ring is con-
ccalcd by n narrow band of the pistils
of the flower. The petals are large and
are only three deep to avoid dimming
the gaslight too much. Altogether but
an hours work should complete one of
these effective gifts. Another shade,
which is fastened to partial screen
against the globe, is wide opened
rose.
The petals, which are small and hard
to curl near the heart of the flower"
are sewed to foundation of silk which
has been stretched tightly across cir
cular frame. Two or three buds and
long rubber stems fall gracefully beside
the flower.
