DEFIES MORMON SAINTS
Hon. Moses Thatcher Again Ann0un-
ces Himself for Senator.
Refuses to Apologize for His Pre-
R1Ous Candidacy Without Con-

Salt Lake, Utah, Nov. 19--The candi-
dacy of Hon. Moses Thatcher for the Of
flee Of United States Senator has started
what promises to he a renewal OF the cId
fight between the Mormon church ana

high office of apostle in the church, DE-
came a candidate for the Senate one year
ago on the Democratic side, but as MS
party failed to have majority In the
legislature he was not elected
ThaIcher's superior officers in the church
censured him for becoming candidate
for a political office without obtaining
their consent, and at the same time Issued
an edict the effect of which was that All
MOrmons were required to OBTAIN the
consent Of the church authorities before
becoming candidates for any public Of

pursued Thatcher with Il demand that he
apologize for his action and humble him

This lie steadfaStly has refused To do,
maintaining that neither as churchinan
nor as a citizen has he done anything that
needs re,rartion. Since then he has been
suspended from exercising the functions OF
ecclesiastical position and denled en-
trance to the Mormon temple.
Now he announces himself again as a
candidate for United Staets Senator as a
representative OF young Utah, an oppo-
nent of the principle of keeping the Mormon
people in chains forged by the priesthood
The legislature is tnree-quartcrs Mormon
and to what extent the members after EN-
loving several years OF political freedom
can be whipped into line by the church is
uncertain. The gentle members, most oi

EMBAlMED PALMS.
Effects Obtained by Using Imitation
Oriental Foliage.

Many years ago the tropical palm in all
It's varieties made its appearance in this
country. The first one was used at mag-
niflcent ball given by the English minister
OF the legation at Washington. This, OF
course, was the real live plant, one of the
Latania variety, and was counted among
the splendorS OF the occasion.
a method has been recently devised for
preserving this beautiful green; secret
prucess by which these plants are rendered
imperishable and yet retain all their nat
ural charm. So clever is the artifice that
it is impossible to detect them from living
gruwths, md they are absolutely impervious
Ia heat, cold, gas, sunlight or any climatic
influences.
These emhalmed palms are now In great
demand for the adornmcnt OF homes. Iuu-
seums, libraries and all public buildings,
and enter into the decorations for we'd
ding festivities, balls, funerals, in fact,
wherever masses of green are desired.
Is n corner ornamentation these plants
may be used on 4 series OF shelves of
wood, either pine or walnut, held up by
Iron brackets, and when cleverly grouped
together form an extremely decorative bit.
For this the smaller varieties are generally
employed, such as the Fan and Cyperus,

FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.
Suggestions of Value to Those Who
Are nn Economy Rent


Are on Economy Bent.
Little sticks put upon q dying fire will
rekindle it, but large sticks Will put the
fire cut.
Many things can be busted with damp
taee and this plan will remove the dust as
no dry cloth can.
An easy way 20 remove spots of paint
from glass is TO make a strong solution
Of soda In hot water and wash the glass
with a flannel dippediu in this.
Clothing that has become spotted and
whose color has been destroyed by acids
may have the color restored by applying
ammonia and afterward chloroform.
Ripe tomatoes will remove almost any
kind of stain from the hands, and they
can also he used To great advantage on
white cloth, removing ink spots as well
as many others.
Occasionally your pet canary bird should
be fed with a hard boiled egg, chopped fine
and mixed with cracker crumbs, giving ii
not more than n thimbleful of the mi Nture at
a time.
Tumblers that have been used FOR milk
should never be put into hot water until
thaV have nrst been rinSed in cold water
The heat drives the milk in and gives a
cloudy appearance to the glass which can
not be removed.
a violet perfume may be easily made by
putting half an ounce of arrowroot- broken
into small pieces, in a bottle with two
ounces of alcohol. Cork tight and shake
well. After it has been standing four or
five days few drops placed on a handker-
chief will leave the odor of fresh violets.

WOMEN AS JOURNALISTS,

ShOrtens Life.
pa
Buffalo Times,

Harriet Holt Cahoon. who is perhaps the
greatest newspaper woman of the times,
said Inc other da Y that the average life OF q
newspaper woma II in New York was about
four years.
And this being translated means that
any woma of average physique, of unusual
mental endowments and unlimited ambition
can exhaust herself in that length of time
That she can write he rseif out break down
her constitution and ruin her nerves. md be
ready to take a nice easy position of
washing dishes, and say thank YOU
They are the Specimens which the novelist
uses when he makes the new woman
anxious to again become ''old' She Is
ready to throw away her ideas of the
rights Of women, of civic reforms, and
club benefits. not because such ideas are
no longer good. but because the woman
once holding them has no longer the
strength to retain them, because she is
broken in mind and body, and Is glad and
grateful for the protecting care, which
viii allow her the opportunity for rest.

GLASS NEVER TURNED DOWN
Major Mckinley Usually Drank His
Wine at BanQuets.
So 1t Is Argued That 1t VIII Fig
ure at All Dinners Given at
the White House.

The temperance views of President-eiect
Mckinley are now the sub ject Of discussion
among the politicians of the city.
When Ma jor NICK nley was member OF
Congress he took a glass of wine whenever
he saw fit At all the banluets he attended
his glasses were never turned down.
He was not a drinker in the broad sense
of the term. He did not imbibe as do sew
eral we'll known politicians now in public
life. He could be fairly called u temperate
man.
The certificate given him by Miss Frances
Willard thus seems to be little fdr
fetched. She vouched that the President
and Mrs. Mckinley would follow the ex-
ample set by President and Mrs Hayes
But people here think that wine will not
be banished from the White House. They
base their belief on the custom of Major
Mckinley in the past. Ii that is criterion
the White House wine glasses Will be used
on all state occasions.

EcCENTRICITIEs OF FASHION.
If Happy. They Are Pardonable; If

Not, They Are to Be Condemned.
Happy eccentricities OF fashion keep on
ying in number. Ruffles of fur to
be Worn about the neck may be mentioned
as one OF the latest. The separate fancy
jacket is subject to many queer fancies.
Seen in one instance, it is made of black
and white striped velvet, plated from the
shoulders to within about two inches from
the lower edge, this arrangement forming
4 flounce. which is edged with black
trich tips. The neck band is formed Of tips
and smart bows of cerise ribbon. Feather
bands become more prominent on evening
toques, and as the height OF ecccntricity
one firm Is trimming sealskin coats with
grayand whitegrebe feathers. White NOUS
seine de sole collars, fashioned with in
Vulnerable standinC-out ruffles on the sboul
ders, are jolly looking, to say the least.
A slim waist and long, slim arms are
nicely accentuated by this sort of bodice
arrangement. The one noted was an eX-
qusite creation of white nousseline APP
pliqued with renaissance and spangled with
shaded green sequins. A high green silk
collar was finished with ruche and grace
full bow front and back of green Gibbons.
These fluffy bodice arrangements are
charming in themselves or on an extremely
slender woman, but they make fright of
one who is the least bit plump.
