Special Correspondence az he RtoI.ttr.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-There Is very
small chance for q poor man to win
fame in the higher ranks Of the Ameri-
can diplomatic service. The first class
missions can be held only by men who
are able to spend each year large sum
from their private purses. Ex-Secretary
Bayard, for instance, will pay dearly for
the honor Of being the first ambassador
this country ever sent across the water.
At London he will receive salary OF
S17,500 q year, and his expenses will
probably be just about twice this sum.
When Mr.. Phelps was minister at
London and Ex-Governor Waller OF Con-
nectcut consul general at the same
place, the minister and the consul gen.
eral occasionally compared notes on
their financial status. One day after
conversation on this topic Minister
Phelps proposed to Waller that they ex-
change places during the remaining two
years that they expected to remain
there. You see. Waller" said he, 81
get sala.Y Of SIT, 500 year and spend
little more than S35, 900 year, as
discover by looking over my handbook.
On the other hand, y6I take In, salary
and fees together, about $40, 900 year,
and you say your living expenses do not
much exceed 81 200 q month. So II you
will agree, we'll simply exchange places
for the next two years, and that VIII
bring US both out even. What do you
say?"
Wien congress gave the President
the power to send an ambassador to
countries sending an ambassador hither,
1t did not authorize any increase in the
salary. and hence ambassador Bayard
and ambassador Eustis and the other
ambassadors, il we have any, will have
to meet the demands upon their more
exalted rank out of their own pockets.
France and England, on the other hand,
allow their ambassadors good deal
more money per year than they do their
mere ministers, and it is believed Sir
Julian Pauncefote's salary and allow
ances from the British government as
EN- bassador at Washington will run well
up toward $4,000 year,

Some Mormon History.
Special Cerrssponasnes 70 tie Rsgts1.
SALT LAKE CITY, April 6.-The
Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day
Saints has at last completed, and even
as write this is ioyously dedicating
the most remarkable structure, all
things considered. In the United States.
1t has been the subject OF more ardent
hopes and trembling fears, or more con-
fident and more virulent prophecy, the
cause of more wild rejoicing as we'll as
OF heartburnings and bitterness, than
any other American building, and 10
stands to-day q monument OF sustained
hope and perseverance which is truly
sublime. Say, IL you will, that IL is
also monument OF folly and fanatic
cism-it Is at least splendid and harm
less one.
In 1855 Horace Greeley spoke OF peo-
pie aud temple with philosophic con-
tempt. In 1860 Richard +. Burton, the
noted AsIstic and African traveller,
took slightly more favorable view,
but declared that no Pacific railway
would be built In this century. Rich
ardson, Bowles and Colfax In 1865
thought the temple might be finished In
time to serve as statehouse for the
GENTLE state, soon TO rise on the ruins
OF Mormonism. In 1870 Beadle, the
frantic antI-Mormon. declared that the
temple would never be completed. Mrs.
Waite, another radical writer. declared
that the Mormons would soon fee to the
Sandwich Islands. And so the stream
OF prophecy flowed on, but here the
temple is, and 100000 Mormons are
celebrating 1t.
Leaving details OF this week to the
talking wire. present = few points OF
history which will serve TO explain these
proceedings. Sixty-three years ago to-
day, In the house OF Peter Whitmer, 10
Fayette, Seneca county, n. Y, Joseph
Smith and five others organized the
"Church OF Christ" as they called It,
The other words were added to the title
at Kirkland, o.. but their new revela-
ton being designated the Book OF
Mormon" the world gave them the
name of Mormonites. Next year they
founded Kirkland, o., and located the
site Of their great temple TO be at Inde-
pendence, Mo. There all faithful saints
IMormons) fondly believe Is there last
gathering place on earth, and there
they will have temple far surprising
Solomon's.

DO YOU SEE THE CATi

al (this Is Judge Maguire's story. re-
member) looked and looked and couldn't
see any cat. ] twisted my head this
way and that, shut one eye and
then the other, called all my powers
of imagination forward. but the
agile cat euded me. Concluding
that the thing was q humDug
and that there was no cat IN the pic
ture, walked away, feeling that the
shopkeeDer had imposed upon me. A
good many people are the same way
with single taxing. They don't see the
point and say the whole thing is fake,
But couldn't ges the cat out OF my
mind and In an hour went back again.
The result was the same. The figure
OF the cat never presented itself to my
vision.
Next morning found me once more
before the window. l had determined
to see that cat or die. Finally friend
standing near me cried out: There II
Is. Don't you see his tall?' And look
ing where ne pointed l did see the end
OF Mr.. Cats tail, aud In another second
the whole feline had flashed upon me.
He was almost as big as the picture IT.

almost obscured everything else on the

single tax principle. All Of sudden 1t

and it can never be removed there

Another man who Is fast acquiring
fame la queer way is Frank LAWYER OF
Chicago. An odd sort OF fellow Is
Frank. He served several terms In Con-
gress from Chicago, and though an Hit
crate man who had graduated from
saloon and the Board OF Aldermen he
made good Congressman. lie nearly
killed himself working as an errand boy
for his constituents. Once he was well
to do, but he spent all his money In pol
tiles, and now his little home Is mort
gagged. he wants to be postmaster OF
Chicago. To back up his application he
brought to Washington with him the
most remarkable petition which was
ever presented 10 President. IL con-
tains In all 63, 497 names.
But even this unparalleled petition,
which he brought TO the capital with
him in a trunk that had travelled around
the world, been In two steamship dis
asters and any number OF railway acct
dents and come oat unscathed, is not
likely to do him as much good as the
fact that at a church fair In Chicago a
year or more ago where Baby Ruth and
Benny Mckee were rivals for beautl-
full chairTFrank rushed In and conduct
ed BABY Ruth's campaign with so much
energy that the chair was voted her as
the most popular baby In America.

virtue Of the impact Of itself in motion
against the surrounding atmosphere.
Countless experiments have been made
in this direction also, bat all have failed
for lack OF proper adjustment OF weights
and absence Of the necessary power.
He deserves fame and is almost sure TO
attain it.
There are many different ways Of at
tanning fame. Some men acquire 1t,
and Others have 1t thrust upon them
As an example of the latter, take the
case of Judge Mcguire, OF San Fran
cisco, who is coming down here as

not much of story either, but Its sue
cess lay in the application OF II.
Perhaps you have heard or the single
takers. The single takers, led oy
Henry George, have one OF the most
perfect organizations known to the art
OF propagandism. All the single takers
hang together. There are single takers
all over earth. In nearly every country
they have their national society, con-
trolling and cooperating with innumer-
able local societies. No religious sect,
no secret society, no social or political
organization that l know anything
about, is one-half so much in earnest as
the single taxer.
hardly know what single taxing Is
myself, and yet confess to great deal
of admiration for these men who, out OF
pure earnestness OF conviction, very
love OF their principles, are going forth
to try to conquer. 1t happens that a
great many people can't see through
the single tax doctrine. No matter how
clearly il may be explained 10 them,
they fail to see the point. And yet II
is claimed that they do see II all at
once, and with such vivldness that the
impression is left upon their minds ever
afterward. IL was in Illustration OF
this that Judge Mcguire told the story
which made him famous. will try to
tell his story for him.

the government. The latest form be-
! ing a crusade led by Hammerstein in
the Dreuz Zeitung, insinuating that
there is a misunderstanding between
Caprivi and the Prussian ministers.
The Associated Press is in a position
to state there is not the slightest foun-
dalton for these reports connecting the
chancellor with the crisis. Caprivi is
firmer in office today than ever before
He has the perfect confidence of En-
peror William, while the alleged friend

dergast was more cheerful this morn
ing. After a good nights sleep he ex-
pressed himself as confident of escap-
ing the gallows He thinks he will
get a new trial easily, with a different
result
Attorney Wade, for the condemned
man, says there is no possibility of the
final decision being reached inside a
year; that attempts will be made to
get a new trial; that if this fails. the
case will be appealed to the supreme
court.
Lawyer Wade says he has been re-
ceiving kilograms from lawyers in all
parts of the country urging him to
continue the fight for his client, and
that he. could raise 5000 for the de-
Tense from the bar alone.
John Prendergast, the Nssassin's
brother. says the attorneys for the de-
tense made a fatal mistake in refus-
ing to accept the states offer of a
compromise on life Imprisonment. i've
been TOLD said the brother, that one
of the jurors made the remark, when
summoned. that he would hang the
miserable cur. 1 hope a new trial will
be granted.
