MARY STONE AND IDA KAHN.
name of Ida Kahn. The girls are pupils
of Miss Charlotte Howe, the we'll known
Methodist missionary to China, who has
made many sacrifices to educate them
in America so that they may be fitted
for future work among their people.
The girls are senior medical students
and seem to take deep interest in the
work. They have been quite thoroughly
educated in English and speak the Ian
guage so we'll that they would not be
characterized as foreigners by a stranger
who heard them talk without seeing
their faces.
The home of these interesting new
women from China is at the Methodist
mission in Kew Kiang in the province of
Kiangsi, northwest of Canton. The
girls do not look at all alike. Miss Stone
is a large woman and Miss Kahn is
quite small and rather attractive in ap-
pearance. She is supposed to be Gneal
descendant Of Confucius, or Kong Foo,
her assumed name Kahn being her own
liberal translation of her actual name,
Kong. The prefix Ida was given her by
her friend and benefactor, Miss Howe,
who prepared both girls for the medical
department of the University of Michi-
gan and even taught them the Latin they
know.
Miss Stone and Miss Kahn are both
active workers in the Students Chris
tian association of the university and
Miss Stone is secretary of the senior
medical class. She and Miss Kahn are
somewhat reserved and shy, but they are
quite popular with their fellow students,
who are much interested in their efforts
to obtain useful knowledge of medi
cine With the girls are two Chinese
boys, Yung Ping Chengo and Taiyin
Chico, who are also pupils of Miss Howe.
Cheng is a medical student and Chico is
sophomore in the literary department..

July 10, 1894, and on Jan. 4, 1896,
President Cleveland issued his preclama-
ton admitting Utah TO the Union.
Utah was part of the territory acquired
from Mexico in 1S48 and was settled in
1847 by Mormons, under the leadership
of Brigham Young. In March, 1849, a
provisional government for 'The State
of Deseret' was organized, but it was
superseded by the territory of Utah, or
ganized bycongress Sept. 9, 1850, when
the territory had / $50 inhabitants.
Utah then embraced portions of Colo
RADIO, Wyoming and Nevada and had an
area of 220, 1876 square miles, but her
present area is only about So, 900 square
miles. In 1856 the territorial legislature
framed a constitution for 1.-THE State of
Deseret'' and application was made to
congress for admission to the Union as
state, but the plea was denied, owing to
the polygamous practices of the Nor
mons. The granting of statehood was
also opposed by the gentiles, as the
non Mormon element, largely in the mi
nOrity, was called.
One by one Utah's neighbors-Ne-
vada, Nebraska, Colorado, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Montana, Washing
ton, Idaho and Wyoming in the order
named were admitted to statehood, but
Utah, large and powerful, remained
territory because she chung to polygamy.
Finally the government prohibited plu-
raj marriages, the Mormon church re-
pudiated them and Utah became a state.
Heber M. Wells, the first governor of
the state, was born in Salt Lake City SO
years dgo and was educated at the Uni
versity of Utah. He is Republican and
was member of the last two constitu-
tional conventions. He was defeated for
mayor of Salt Lake City in 1892 by r.
N Baskin. For five years Governor
Wells has been cashier of the State Bank
of Utah. He is member of the Mormon
church.
