cruiser Reina Regente. Deputy Moreu
complained of the unseaworthiness of the
vessel and declared that somebody ought
to be held responsible. In view of the fact
that the cruiser was sent to sea when she
needed to go on the drydock. The minis

THE TWELVE COMPOUNDED.
Joseph Smith. the Mormon Leader, Up
held Through Woman's Prophecy.

The conference OF Latter Day Saints
that has been In session In Independence
, since April has closed. Prophecies were
made In unknown tongues Awe inspir-
ing demonstrations of tho power Of the
Lord were told, and Joseph Smith was de-
clared by the power of God, manifested
through Miss Mary Brewster, to DO the
recognized prophet of heaven.
The attack made on President Smith by
members of the twelve was directly re-
sponsible for the great interest taken.
"f Joseph Smith, the martyr" said
one elder, twas not n prophet OF God, and
II his son, our president is not Of God, our
leader and prophet, then 1 say unto you
the foundation Of the church has crum-
bled away"
This fact was recognized by all. 1t was
not, therefore, simple question OF the
hour that had come up for consideration.
but momentous matter of vast impor-
tance that was to determine the life and
principles of the church for perhaps all
time to come.
Joseph Smith had been attacked by
man. 1t now remained for God to defend
him.
the time Miss Brewster was delivered of
her prophecy. She is the young lady with
the godlike face. After a few preliminary
remarks she began chanting in an un-
known tongue, after which she gave q
translation.

A NOVEL PLEA.
Did Not Want to Marry Because His Fian-
cee,n Family Was Consumptive.

cee'0 Family Was Consumptive.
A new element has been introduced into
those breach OF promise cases for which the
English and American courts are so ia
nous, by the plea set up by a medical de-
fendant in trial which has just taken
place in London.
The tickle physician excused himself for
having Tilted his betrothed on the ground
that he had discovered that her mother
had died of consumption, and this, he de-
clared, was, in the opinion Of the wisest
medical and social authorities Of the day,
a perfectly adequate case for breaking an
engagement.
Unfortunately for him, neither judge
nor jury would consent to accept this view,
and he was compelled to choose between
the alternative of paying $4,000 In dam
ages snd costs or of marrying a woman
presumably afflicted with hereditary
malady likely to affect tho issue Of the
marriags.-Now York Tribune.
