ever as materially enhances the value OF
real estate, but as one stands 10 Central
park and views the long rows OF cotton
dwellings with their open fronts, expos
ing the simple but neat and homelike
furnishings, and contemplates the air OF
~contentment and satisfaction with which
their inmates move about in the dis
charge of their duties, or entertain
friends as they call. he cannot but he
impressed with the fact that the valu-
able commodities OF happiness and good
cheer are abundant. / would not inti-
mate by this that these people are here
for a good time in the popular senss,
their ~earnestness and diligence forbids
any such idea. but on account OF the
necessity OF enlarged facilities for the
accommodation of the increasing numbers
coming on the ground, the day has
largely been devoted to the erection OF
tents and getting ready to live, and some
OF the usual exercises have been omitted.
At 500 a. m. Elder Colcord gave a
farewell talk, dwelling upon the impend-
ing crisis, and exhorting his brethren to
consecrated lives in view Of the respon-
sibilities and dangers before them, and
encouraging them to stand firm for the
right and principle like a Daniel. He
departed on the train east to-day for hif
} home in Battle Creek, Mich.
Elder j. q. Matteson from Colorado
arrived this afternoon.
At $50 Elder Kauble gave his closing
talk on bible hygiene. The Elder, with
his stalwart frame OF two hundred and
twenty-five avordupuis and horld coun'
t~enance is a pretty good representation
OF his subject, and his talks give evi
dence Of thought and research. He il
not what might be called a radical veg
e~tarian, but favors that system. In hn
course OF instruction he has departed
from the beaten paths of his predeces
sors and followed a line OF his own, max
ing healthful cookery a prominent facto
in the summum bonnm OF good living
While teaching the avoidance of OK
tremes, it was apparent that some in hi
audience felt that he was getting a littt
bit on the strained order when he init
mated that the Bible teaches how Il
cook.
