LATTER-DAY SAINTS.
Elder Peterson'S Return Last Even
ing's Discourse.

After an absence of several days,
spent in filling appointments in ad-
ioining settlements, and in prospecting
the surrounding country for mission
ary work, Elder Henry Peterson has
returned to the city, and last evening
delivered a discourse to the Latter-Day
Saints in Pythian Castle on the sub
iect. Those Who Die Without the
Gospel"
Previous discourses, 1t was stated,
had been delivered on subjects treating
of the church established by the Savior,
and the Gospel as taught by the au-
thorized agents of the Messiah. 1t had
been shown on former occasions that
the church established IN the meridian
of time had been overthrown and the
Gospel subverted and changed. This
necessitated a re-establishment Of the
church in the last days and the res
toration Of the true Gospel to the earth.
To these events the prophets of old had
looked forward, and the accomplish
ment of them they have prewritten
upon the pages of Scripture. These
events the Latter-Day Saints believe to
have taken place.
Many centuries had intervened the
taking away of the true Gospel and its
restoration to the earth. During these
centuries many people had lived and
died without having heard the Gospel
preached. Many also had rejected it
without having thoroughly investigat-
ed. The question had arisen in the
minds of some, We're those souls to be
eternally damned, or had provision been
made for their deliverance?
In answer to these questions passages
were quoted by the speaker to prove
that there is a Paradise. or place Of
departed spirits (see Luke xiii, 80
43), TO which the Savior went during
the time intervening between his death
and resurrection John Xxx, 10, and
where spirits, disbelieving or disobedi-
ent, were detained. The Savior's pur-
pose in going there was to preach the
Gospel, or open a mission to those
spirits q. Peter Ill, 1920. These
spirits were to hear that they might
believe the principles, live by the pre-
cepts and be judged by the laws of the
Gospel the same as man in the flesh
q. Peter iv., 81
The Redeemer of mankind said that
no man could enter His kingdom with
out entering through the gate of bap-

STRANGE WEATHER FOR MAY.
Cold Nights, With Frost Along the
River Bottoms.
Vineyards Between Perkins and Fol-
som Said to be Severely
Nipped.

The spring Of '96 will long be re-
menbered by the farmers and fruit
growers of California as 'phenom-
enal'' one This term is now used to
describe almost every departure from
the normal condition of things in Cali
fornia, and especially in the matter
of weather and climatic conditions.
AS a rule, our summer weather Is
manifest in April, and after the lst of
that month a frost heavy enough to be
Injurious to growing crops of any kind
is a rare. thing, while after the middle
or Goth of that month all danger from
that source is usually past, and vege-
tation in uncultivated fields and on the
hills begins to turn brown.
This season the rains have kept COM
ing right along at such frequent inter-
walls that even the shorter-lived grasses
have not been allowed to die, and now
In the latter portion of the month Of
May the fields and hills are as green
and fresh as in February or March.
But stranger than all is the fact that
scarcely a week has passed without
frosts more or less severe. The first
crops of vegetables were cut down, and
In the San Joaquin Valley, from Stock
ton southwark, also in Napa, Sonoma
and Santa Clara, vineyards were cut
down by frosts a month ago. Those
about Sacramento escaped them, but it
Is feared that they have at last received
q severe setback.
Early risers yesterday morning were
greeted with the unusual sight, for
this time of the year, of the ground
covered with frost. From Routier Sta
ton word was received by the Rec
ord-Union' last evening that the frost
was quite severe in the grape-groWing
district about there, and that many or
the vineyards were hard hit. j. f.
Manlove resorted to the "smudg1ng
process during the preceding night,
and his vines escaped, but those who
did not anticipate Jack Frost's visit
and neglected that precaution find
that their vines had suffered severely.
AT a. m. the mercury was down to ~
degrees at Routier's, and at g. m. 1T
was 80 degrees.
No word has been received from the
vegetable growing districts down the
river, but it is feared that the second
crops of vegetables have met the fate
of those that were above the ground
when the heavy frosts of a month ago
occurred.
1t is probably too late for tree crops
to have suffered, as the foliage is heavy
enough to protect the young fruit, even
of late varieties.
The Weather Bureau reports in this
city show the highest and lowest tenn
pieratures yesterday to have been 6o
and Al degrees, with fresh northerly
winds during TIE most Of the day, and
fresh southwesterly winds in the even
ing. clear weather prevailing.
The barometrical readings at . a. m
and p m. yesterday were 3O.1O and
%. .96 inches, respectively.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were rs and 5l
degrees, and one year ago to-day 10
and 80 degrees.
The north wind was with US again
yesterday, bringing clear skies and
bright sunshine, which is much better
for fruit, berries and hay than would
be southerly breezes and cloudy
weather.

WAGNER'S WEAKNESS.
Arrested on Suspicion of Having
Raided Hen ROosts.

Harry Wagner has been arrested on
suspicion Of having stolen number of
chickens that were found at the Silver
lock hovel in Paradise alley where
Wagner was also found in hiding. He
is known to have paid considerable at
tention to a fourteen-year-old girl Of
the Silverlock family, and while there is
no proof of criminal intimacy between
them, it is thought well to keep him
away from the place.
For several weeks there have been
numerous thefts from hen roosts in the
southern part of the city, and it is be-
lieved that Wagner knows the person
who committed the depredations Be
sides he is an opium fiend of the most
pronounced type, and it is proposed to
prefer charges of vagrancy against him,
and perhaps give him long job on the
county rock-crushing plant.

COMMERCIAL UNION.
That Of Saxony Has Won World
Wide Fame.

Consul Monaghan, ChemnitZ, Novem-
Der l, 1S90, reports as follows:
The tenth annual report of the Com
mercial Union of Saxony tells a tale of
ten years hard, well-done work In
the short space of ten years it has won
a worldwide fame. It was given prizes
unsought, at the Australian Exposition
III 1859, and in Chicago in 1898.
These We're given for it's publication
Beside, it's President was made a mem
Der of the Chicago Exposition Genera
Committee. The aid and counsel of the
union is sought from all sides and by
all kinds of people. 1t has aided often
and very materially to get foreign firms
to pay large and outstanding debts
hitherto held to be hopeless. It's bureau
of information, one Of the best organ
lied in the empire. is always busy.
It's sample rooms have been enlarged
and improved. These have been Wis
tied by business men from all parts of
the world; they have more than equaled
the expectations of their projectors.
THE society has sent out seven trav-
cling commissions to investigate trade
chances in Canada, South America,
Eastern Asia and South and East At
rica, paying therefor 100000 marshall
this to aid exports. 1t sent out 110, 600
German and English catalogues; cir
culars in five languages; $4,000 refer
ence books in five languages, calling at
tention to the industries Of SaXony and
Thurfngia; seventy beautifully illus
trated business albums containing illus
trations and references to Saxony's
most important houses, and $4,000 other
important articles, references and no.
tices. Since 1885, 5000 merchants have
seen the sample rooms. In the ten years
answers have been given regarding the
standing of foreign firms 5000 times
Sample orders to the number Of 13, 900,
covering 1000, 900 marks, were sent out;
these secured business covering 30,0O0,-
900 more. The membership was 476 at
the end of the fiscal year; twenty eight
firms having joined since. The finances
of the society are based on the annual
membership dues.
THE union has forty-six principal
agencies in Europe and fifty-three be-
yond seas. This years catalogue is to
consist of $4,000 copies, and is to be
sent to all parts Of the world. Every
effort Is being made, every energy is
being employed, to extend the unions
usefulness. 1t Is not necessary to say
success is certain; in some cases it has
been simply phenomenal. A beehive
best illustrates this land. Its $500, 900
people are pouring out into the worlds S
markets almost every kind Of article
known. England, alarmed at it's ener-
gies and encroachments in markets once
monoplized by Manchester, Noting
ham and London, is looking into it's
methods. From S30,000,000 to $40,-
100000 measures its exports to U.s. All
over the kingdom such unions as the
one referred to above are working to
win away from France, England and
the United States part, If not all, of the
foreign trade. Their work cannot be
commended too highly"
