THE MORMON PAPA
Had His Troubles When the Fashions
Reached Utah.
From the ST. Louis Republic

4 rom the ~. LOUIS ReDuDllC.
Many people believe that old Brigham
Young had anywhere from 50 to 100 wives
and enough children to fill all the Sun
day schools in St. Louis" said James F,
Farnsworth at Hurst's. But the
statistics-it seems proper to use the
word statistics in this case-are that old
Brigham had 10 wives and 81 children
But that's enough isn't it?
The old fellow could not have
been ashamed of his record-he
supported his families in moderate style,
and he had ON an average three children
by each wife.
But, do you dnow, polygamy was not
the great horrible bugbear that the
people In the East have made out of it, by
the aid of their imaginations and the
lurid stories told by women lecturers2
True, polygamy was wrong in both
theory and practice, and it rssts as an
incubus on I tab still | mean that even
now that pOlygamy has been abolished
tor some time, yet the very fact that it
once existed there operates against the
advancement of the territory in many
respects. Yes, 1t is trUe that pyolgamy,
Is no longer practiced. The
against it, and | think the church is
sincere in that declaration. But it is
sincere in this way: The church sees that
1t is impossible to carry on polygamy
under the alleged sanction of a higher
power from above when the practice is in
direct conflict with the United States
laws. So, while the church may believe
that polygamy is right, yet the church
deems II wise to obey the laws of the
country.
"PolyPamy was not eX pensive in Utah
before the railroads entered the territory.
In those days a man who had three or
tour or half dozen wives and maybe 10 or
II daughters could buy them calico and
bingham dresses and all would be lovely
around the variegated tiresides. But
when the railroads began bringing in
sealskin sacques, inn orued silks and
Easter Gonnets then that man with a half
dozen daughters felt trouble weighing
down on his devoted head.
If he bought silk dress or a scalskir
sacquefo one wife or one daughter, why,
those variegated tiresides were in con
slant turmoil until he bought sacques or
dresses for all his wives and daughters
1t took mighty fat pocketbOok to keep
the polSEamous papa'S peace unbroken. /
know one man who had three wives. One
day he was preparing to leave for
chicago on business trip, and one wife
took INN aside and made him promise to
bring back Il silk dress pattern. He told
me himself that he brought back just 270
yards of silk, because he knew there
would be family row, or rather a row of
families if he did not buy enough silk to
make dresses for all his wives and all his
grown daughters

Irish Comedy.

The Opera House was crowded
last evening to witness Bouc:cault's
"The Shaughraun." The play is
a most interesting one, Astounding
in light comedy situations, with
a story of pathos running through
it, that appeals to all hearts.
The part of Conn, the Shaugh-
raun, was taken by Mr.. Julian D..
Hayne, the man who claims to
have written "The Isle of Cham
payne" Mr.. Hayne may have
written "The Isle Of Champagne"
but he can't play Conn, the
Shaughraun. However, in the
second act, he brought down the
scenery, if he didn't the house.
The rest of the company did ex-
ceedingly well.
Between the third and fourth
acts, Miss Gassman gave the. SER
pentine dance. The stage was per-
fectly dark and In a narrow ray of

colors. She was obliged to submit

FIELD DAY.
The Athletic Club Will Provide
Some Exciting Contests.

The Honolulu Amateur Athletic
Club will hold it's first field day on
May 30th instead of June I'd, as
stated few days ago.
This will be the first appearance
of this club before the public, and a
good programme will be furnished.
This will be a preliminary contest
for the members of the club only,
to prepare for the Fourth of July,
when they will beready to compete
with outsiders. The list of sports
will be about as follows: 100-yard
dash, 22O-yard dash, 220-yard hur-
die race, one-rnile run, pole vault,
running high jump, broad jump
and relay race. The last race will
be very exciting as there will be
two captains and eight men on each
side. A programme of the events
will be prepared later, with the list
of competitors, and the number or
color of each man opposite his
name. so that the spectators may
know the men. The club has OBJ
tanned permission from the Base
ball Association to make track
inside of the ball grounds. This
will be an oval track, the building
of which will not hurt the ground
in the least, as no grass will be dug
up. The holes will simply be filled
up and rolled, and the track
marked out. The club has at pres
ent about forty members and a hard
struggle is expected for supremacy
In the various sports.

Miners Convention.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 2O.-The min
ers' convention was occupied with
routine business until late this fore
noon when United States Senator
Perkins was called to ad lress the min
ers. He declared that since mining
began in this State, California had
furnished the nation with S1,4O0.OOO,-
600 of gold and the State was still
producing million dollars monthly,
yet the general government has never
recognized the fact by the making of
such appropriations as would help the
mining industry. AS to silver, Seua-
tor Perkins condemned the action
which had driven the white metal to
the wall, and declared that the day
must come when the national Govern
ment would break loose from tie con-
troll Of Europe and inaugurate a pol
icy of its own. Ex-Congressman
Thomas j. Clunie also addressed tho
convention.
Clunie unged that as a practical
means Of getting appropriations from
the Government to aid The hydraulic
mining industry the next legislature
be asked to pass a resolution that any
money appropriated for building, i'm
pounding dams. ETC., by the national
Government would be credited by the
State to the account Of the three mil
lion dollars which California loaned
the Government in time of the war
and which never has been paid

one of the Nevada City schools wrote
a composition on King Henry VIII.
1t read as follows: king Henry 8
was the greatest widower that eyer
lived. He was born at Annie Domino
in the year 1906. He had $40 wives
besides children. The first was be.

the second was revoked. Henry 8
