the left side; also the bridegroom. In
addition, he has white linen cap,
somewhat on the style of that worn by
the "dusting girl" in a lodging-house.
Previous to the ceremonial there is a
representation Of the scene of the fall
of innocence in the garden of Paradise.
One of the twelve apostles, it is stated,
enacts the role of Satan, and takes an
apple from the tree with which he
tempts Eve Tor the bride), as she walks
into the garden. She then hands the
apple to Adam (the bridegroom, and
then Satan laughs ut the fall of man
kind, and disappears through side
door, supposedly to his dominions.
1t is easy TO understand whit lasting
effect this strange ceremonial has upon
the untutored and superstitious mind.
The priesthood teach that as our first
parents were married in this manner,
it is the only binding ceremonial; that
they, only, are empowered to perform
marriages, and that only those who
are married in the faith can be saved
in the life everlasting. This is why
women sink their jealousy and woman
hood and become slaves in body and in
mind. And this sacrilegious doctrine
is preached at every conference.

rooms long, tells the story.
But that is not legal evidence, and
the reason that the anti-polygamy law
has not, and cannot, suppress polygamy
Is that the marriages are performed in
secret, and thet both the men and the
women, living in polygamy, will swear
that they are not SO living. They
know that they are safe from pros
ecutiou, because no record of the mar

There have been very few convic-

few have been disfranchised. They
still hold the balance of political

special Salt Lake City (utah) Letter
The great Mormon conference meets
in semi-annual session on October 6, at
Salt Lake City-the modern Zion, where
the Millennium will begin, according to
the teachings of the Latter Day Saints.
Formerly the conference met only an
nnally, on April s, that being the ami
versary of the founding of the church
by Joseph Smith, the so-called prophet.
At each conference the faithful come
to Zion from the rcmotest quarters Of
the territory, on horseback, by buggies,
wagons, carts, old-fashioned and inn
provised vehicles, camping out, and do

Hard to XIII.

The following story of scorpion
getting into boot is told at the ex-
pense of an officer who was stationed
with his regiment at Allahabad. Hc
was putting on his boots one morning
and was just about to stamp the heel
down when he felt sharp prick. Sew
eral scorpions had been seen about the
barracks for the past few weeks, so
that he naturally concluded that it was
one of these pests that had stung him.
"Well, the hurms done now" he NUT
tered, with mental benediction upon
the head Of his servant for being so
careless; "but, anyhow, may as well
kill the brute. It'll get away ii | take
the boot Off" Accordingly, he began
stamping violently on the floor, with a
view to crushing the life ont of the
scorpion. Every time he stamped it
gave him the greatest agony, but he
stuck bravely to it until at last he
thought that the Objectionable tenant
must be dead. When he took off his
boot, however, he felt both relieved
and vexed but was glad that he had
not summoned assistance. 1t was
years before he could tell the real story
of his scorpion, for during half an hour
he had been stamping upon and trying
to kill olacliing brush which his serv-
am mad accidentally left in the bottom
OF his boot.-Pea.son Weekly.

ing their cooking by the wayside. About
q week before the conference meets tho
roads arc crowded with wagons loaded
with women and children, and camp
ing equipage, with long lines of men
and boys following III the rear, like
pioneers enigrattng from civilization
into the wilderness. These lines arc
picturesque In their primitiveness, not
SO much now Us in tho early days be-
fore the transcontinental road let civ
ilization in, but they present re-
markable picture of the early Mormon,
whose ignorance and fanaticism have
not been removed by surrounding CIV
ilization.
Railroads extend through some por-
tioDs of Utah, but there are some por-
tions where civilization has not pene-
trated-the bnckwoods districts as in
some of the states-and where igno-
rance and superstition are as rank,
and hatred to the Gentile world is as
bitter as when they were driven from
Nauvoo, ILL.,, more than half century
ago.
This type of Mormons, and their de-
scendants, prefer the primitive style Of
life, and visit the conferences in the
primitive manner; while others on rail-
road lines will not go by rail because
they are GENTLE institutions"
On arriving, they camp in the SUI
burbs until the conference is over,
usually week. At the conference the
marriages that have been Matching for
the past six months arc celebrated in
the temple. There are as many mar
riages now as before the anti-polygamy
law was passed; in fact, more, because
their numbers arc increasing, mainly
from converts from the most benighted
districts of Europe. These people ever
remain aliens, few of them learning
our language. They regard the Nor.
mon hierarchy us the only government
they owe allegiance to.
Marriages, to be binding in the next
world as well as in this, must be cele,
brated in the temple. Hence the rush
to the scmi-annual conferences. A
Jealous Mormon usually brings in three
or four brides, and in order to save
time he is married to all of them al
once. He may not bring in any more
ut the next conference unless he has
found that some of his wives possess
the "cvil spirit of disobedience," ir
which case he gets permission from the
president of the church to put he,
aside"-by the payment of a fee, regu
lated by his ability to purchase the in

reader in other parts of the country
il looks as though the business

looks also as though the town was
not big enough to support news

says: There is something wrong
there, the town is dead, business is
poor or it is merely little hamlet.
It also speaks badly for the news
paper to see it filled up with for
