VICTORY FOR THE ANTI MORMON
LAW

That the Edmunds anti Mormon
law, if rigidly enforced, would be an
effective remedy for the evils attend
ing the practice of polygamy, was
evident to all who gave the matter
any adequate thought, and the results
have justified all who predicted the
discontinuance of polygamy among
the Mormons as one of the effects of
the passage Of that law. The report
of the Utah commission, which has
just been made to the secretary of the
interior, declares that polygamous
marriages in Utah are things of the
past; and the chances are strongly
against return to this practice SO
long as the present anti Mormon law
is kept in effect.
The success Of the effort to prevent
polygamous marriages in Utah has
led the commission to recommend
that an amendment to the federal
constitution be adopted, inhlbiting
polygamy and also empowering Con
gress to prescribe the conditions of
marriage and divorces and the man
ner and effect of authenticating each.
There are sound sufficient reasons
for advocating such a constitutional
amendment. The anti Mormon law
which bears the honored name of
Vermont's distinguished ex-senator
was an experiment in the direction of
the exercise of the authority of the gen
eral government to maintain the purity
of marriage among the Mormons, and
the success of the experiment furnish
es another argument for national ju-
risdiction in the matter of marriage
and divorce. Uniformity Of laws re-
lating to these subjects is the end de-
sired and this will in all probability
never be secured except through the
exercise of national authority.
An amendment to the cons titution
like that suggested would not only
draw under the exclusive cognizance
of one legislative body and one judi
ciary all questions affecting the condi-
tions of marriage and divorce, with
the manner and effect of proving
each, but it would forever remove all
doubt as to the constitutionality of
the power of Congress to legislate in
relation to marriage and divorce, and
thus hasten reform which is needed
almost above all others in the United
States.-Free Press.

WHY He Left the Farm.

Express companies and railroad
managers are waking up to the mag
nitude of the business of train rob
bing. President T. c. Platt Of the Uni
ted States express announces that his
company is not afraid of robbers, and
is prepared to do considerable shoot
ing If its trains are attacked Mana
ger Julier of the American company is
less laxative than Mr.. Platt, but SAYS
his company is ready for the bandits.
Manager Evans of the Wells Fargo
company says the men on their trains
have been instructed to take care of
themselves, and are equipped to do
SO. Manager Hoey Of the Adams ex-
press says the men Of his company
are all prepared; extra men have
been sent out on the trains, and men
are also stationed along the line and
at terminal points. A Chicago dis
patch says the railroad companies are
also arming their men. The Michigan
Central has ordered each man on ex-
press and mail trains to be provided
with two revolvers and repeating
rifle. The Pennsylvania railroad has
issued a similar order, and the Wa
bash, Illinois Central, and Rock Is
land will do SO. The outlook is get
ting decidedly serious for the men
who practice train robbery. There
will probably be ''let- up" in "hold-

VERMONT FOR VERMONTERS.

Vermont has passed through the fl

with only three bank failures and their
failures were not incident to any local
Industrial enterprises. There are in
deed very few places in the state de-
pendent upon any one branch of in
dustry. Diversified manufactures, like
diversified farming, gives stability to
business. The individual losses sus-
tanned in southern boom towns and
western boom securities have already
prepared the way for local prospe Gritty.

has been broken at last, and the suf-
ferers of the latest break, that Of the

ANCHOR ICE
A Strange Formation Of Zee Crya.a at the
Bottom Of Halhnrs

A Strange Formation Of fee Crye at the
Bottom of Harbors.
The ssanchor ice by which the steam
er City of Boston was imprisoned in the
Thames river at Norwich, is one of tho
strangest of wintry phenomena It goes
by various names. West of New Eng
land 1t IS known as .'slush ice," and
abroad it is called ground ice, ''"botto1n
ice' and s'loppered ice'' Tt is not formed
upon the surface of water, but collects
on the beds of streams. This IS the mos
remarkable thing about it. Many thco-
ries have been advanced to account for
it's formation. One scientist claimed
that it was the result of radiation of heat
from the river bed, and that it was de
posted on the same principle as dew.
Another stoutly maintained that it was
produced by little spiculse of boar frost
falling from the atmosphere into the
water.
The most acceptable hypothesis, how
ever, Is that the whole body of water in
which it Is found is thoroughly chilled
by q mechanical action of the currents
of the stream, and that the anchor ice
then naturally forms on the stones and
other rough bodies at the bottom. After
this general cooling of the water to
temperature in the neighborhood of SO
degrees Fahr., the anchor ice will speed
lily coat q pole. for example, that is low
cred into the stream. The nucleus hav-
ing once been formed, the small masses
of ice that cling by adhesion to the asper-
tiles Of the river bed grow in size and at
length attain sufficient buoyancy to
loosen their fastenings and rise to the
surface. In doing this they frequently
tear up small stones and clumps of
gravel.
The anchor ice is clearly crystalline in
structure, and in the water resembles a
kind OF fungus or vegetable growth. At
times a stream will be seen full of little
masses of anchor ice floating along near
or at the surface. It's consistency IL
often very slight, SO that if an attempt
is made to grasp it in the hand it readily
melts and disappears. 1t is confined
mainly to swiftly running streams hay
ing grayelly or stony beds, and it is a
feature of the winter that proves trouble

The American Woman and Her Bath.


There is no doubt that women are be-
ginning to realize more and more the
Importance of the bath. It no longer
continues to be perfunctory duty, to
be gone through with as a matter of
course on Saturday nights, much as the
family washing is undertaken on Mon
day.
The relation of cleanliness to goodness
has ceased to be of Importance. The
bath has grown to be considered, on the
contrary, close adjunct to woman's
beauty The fair sex has learned to
study the bath and its effects upon their
feelings, and incidentally the action of
tep1d or hot water on their fair skins and
its efficacy in softening and identifying
their compilations.
No longer can it be said that with the
majority of American women bath
means simply wiping the face with cor
ner OF wet towel, even if the statement
was ever true
The women of foreign countries in the
past undoubtedly had a greater appreci-
alton OF the near relation of the bath to
personal beauty than the women of the
United States. That a great change in
TINS direction has been wrought is shown
by the greater intelligence shown by
American women today in the matter of
bathing, and their growing prediction
