lists of Dortmund. has become involv-
ed in a libel suit between the bort
mund AnZeigdr and the Arbeiter Zeit-
ung, Socialist organ. The AnZeiger

genan had been alone in n private
room attached TO restaurant owned
by a man named Osthues, a Socialist
friend of Lutgenan's, with Frau Os-
thues, and that the two were playing
chess for kisses. The Anzieger asserts
that the servant in the restaurant Dor
ed holes in the door of the private
room, through which they observed
the alleged exchange of kisses. The

behalf of Lutgenan and called the edi-
tor of the AnZeiger all sorts of names,
whereupon the latter brought an ac-
ton for libel against the Socialist pa
per, which was fined fifty marks. A
further result of the trial is that Lut-
genan has become publicly comprO-
missed and whatever usefulness he
may have possessed as representative
legislator has been greatly impaired.

ton to him. Teller's nomination will
come from the south, where It is
claimed he is particularly strong, not
only on account of his record as a sill
yer leader, but also because of his
vote against the force bill and his
well known opposition to the more
radical actions of the Republican par
ty on the tariff question. Colorado
will offer no resolutions and it's dele
gates will not be particularly con-
spicuous in the convention hall, but
it is proposed 10 send from this state
a delegation of citizens which is eX
pected TO attract attention.
1t is asserted that from 800 to 800
men, including many of the wealth.
est and best known business men of
the state, with a mammoth brass
band and the famous Leadville drum
corps, will be in Chicago to shout for
free silver and Henry NJ. Teller. The
friends of Mr.Teller say the endorse
ment of the Populist party is assured
for him if the Democrats make him
their candidate, and that this would
not be possible should a straight
Democrat be chosen.

States Senator II. +. w. Tabor, tenn
porary chairman and David Day and

Chicago, April IA special from
Washington says:
Senator Cannon, Of Utah has intro
duced a joint resolution which if it is
enacted into law, will give the city Of
Washington one Of the most gigantic
attractions for tourists and curiosity
seekers possessed by any city in the
world. Mr. Cannon proposes to have
constructed in this city a monstrous
map of the United States, sho wing ev-
cry physical feature Of the country, ev-
erv hill, mountain, valley and plain, ev-
ery lake, river. every hamlet, village,
town and city and probably every rail-
road. All this is &c be done in miniature
but on such a scale a. will give a map
about two-thirds of mile in length by
one-third of a mile in breadth The
cost Of such a project may be imagined
The Joint resolution provides for the
appointment Of q commission of FIVE
persons, who are to serve without con-
pensation; three 70 be appointed BY The
president. one by the president OF the
senate and the other by the speaker Of
the house. whose duty il shall be to in

5ility, Practicability and cost of estao-
fishing such a map, which Mr.. Cannon
describes as a ground map of the United

ture.'
"The map Is TO be constructed on such
a scale that one foot of map surface viii

fulfilled promise, prophecy that he

the fact that the Mormon church was

looked upon it as the fulfllment of

He closed by reading afidavits from
the Book of Mormon and said that the
Latter-day Saints had heard the voice
of the True Shepard, and that Jesus
Christ would come again in person to
reign over the world, and all the Nor
mons wanted was to earn at the end the
praise, ''Well done, thou good and faith
full servant"

from the Messiah" and the service
closed with a benediction by Mr.. Shep-
herd.
a crowded house last night showed
San Francisco's appreciation of the work
of the Mormon tabernacle choir. 1t
was the goodbye" concert and the
adieu was said by the vast audience, join
ing in she "Star Spangled Banner" with
the singers. Evan Stephens turned
around and waved the baton for the I'M
trained choir-the music lovers who had
grown enthusiastic and were quite ready
to "join in the chorus"
Notifications in the programme intro
duced some agreeable secular numbers.
AS upon previous occasions, the organ
solos had to be omitted because of the
uncertain results 10 be obtained.
The Harmony club, one of the many
choruses, in the great choir, proved to
be an attractive feature. 1t sang as an
an opening number, THE Bridge" for
the first encore pretty negro melody,
and for the second "l'reezes of the
Night" The boy alto, Charlie Pike,
captured the audience as upon all for
mer occasions.
The chorus work was, if it were pos
sible, better than at any other time. The
first anthem "Let All Israel Sing" by
Joseph J. Daynes, the erganist was
written for the dedication of the Nor
mon Temple in 1898. The choir gave
also "The Soldiers Chorus" from Faust,
1.-THE Hallelujah" from the Messiah, the
Mormon Hymn 90 Ny Father" the ia
vorite Welsh march, by request, the
"Triumphal March," from Naaman, and
the dedication anthem "Hosannah," by
Stephens.
The soloists Mrs. Lizzie Thomas Ed
wards, Miss Mabel Cooper, I. E. Easton,
w. E. Weihe, George D. Piper and H.
S. Ensign gave agreeable renditions of
the parts assigned to them.
The choir with their travelling friends
numbering in all over 800, leave to-day
by special train.
Sacramento, Cal, April 2I.-The
choir tour came 20 an end here tonight,
very notable style. Despite the severe
storm which was raging, the Congrega-
tional church was thoroughly filled with
a brill ant and fashionable audience.
On leaving San Jose this morning, the
party was overwhelmed with roses, and
the ladies all appeared tonight with
white dresses, set off with many co!ored
flowers, immensely adding TO the effect.
The choir has never looked so pretty
and it never sang better. All its num-
bers were encored in enthusiastic fash
ion. And each individual was greeted
with warm favor.
