SAD EXPERIENCE OF AN AFRIcAy,

Missionary effort does not seem to have
made a very favorable impression upon
one Hemuhemu a native chief of Natal
This autocrat has forbidden the open pro
fesson of the Christian faith in his do
minions; on the ground that it demor
Allies the women, and leads the men to
defy his authority. A certain proselyte of
the tribe, by name Ngubane, justified the
latter part of this theory by bringing ac-
court claiming an Injunction as far as L
can make out, and damages for the loss
of his spiritual consolation and privileges.
However, in the interests of Christianity.
Mr.. Ngubane went to the court of appeals
and this time the chief was beaten.
The grounds of the judgment [ am not
able to state. 1t may be that the supreme
court declined to entertain the PROPOSE
ton that Christianity leads to the de
moralization of women and the insubordi-
nation of men, or it may be that they
held that Hemuhemu has no power to
interfere with the religious liberty of his
subjects, no matter how demoraliZing the
consequences. Hemuhemu seems to have
got an idea that the new woman is a part
of the Christian faith. Perhaps if his at
tention were called to some of st. Paul
remarks upon the position of the other
sex. he might be reconciled to Christian
ity yet.-London Truth.

ADJUSTMENTS.

MAY IRWIN.-No one looked for
great audience last evening, after the
phenomenal engagement of "1492, -
strong as May Irwin was known to be;
hence everyone ON hand was surprised
to see a very handsome turnout as
sembled to greet the new star in her
new skit. "The Widow Jones'" Miss
Irwin is entirely host by herself, as
she ever was; no woman on the stage
is so blest with a true and unerring
knowledge of what constitutes the
ludicrous, and with a play in which
she is the central figure, in which she
is accountable to no one and in which
she can give her comedy tendencies
the freest play, it may be we'll mag
ined that she is inimitable. Her new
songs, and more than all, her old-time
imitation of the negro walk around.
were immensely encored. Not very
much can be said for her play, 1.-THE
Widow Jones' and Interpreted by any
other company we fear it could only be
classed as very light-waisted affair.
But Miss Irwin, surrounded by such
people as Ada Lewis, Rice, Sparks,
Kruger (the pioneer in Salt Lake of
farce comedy, as everyone who remem-
bers Edouin's Dreams" can testify,
Miss Sutherland and the others, could
make a popular go out of 1ibretto
taken from the Congressional Record.
The performance will be seen for the
last time tonight. s--s.

is out of the way, the crowds are re-
turning to their early love and
''Queena" is played nightly to all the
Grand will hold. The last perform
ances go today and tonight No one
should miss Rebecca Warren's admir-
able delineation of Queena.

legal right of the city council to fill
the vacancy in that body caused by
the recent death of one of it's members
from this precinct, and that the said
council is not lawfully bound to con-
suit our wishes in the matter, we at
the same time feel that our inherent
right as citizens entities us to a voice
in the selection of our own representa-
tives; that through the hasty action
of the Republican majority of said
council in filing the place without a
knowledge of our wishes we have been
denied a most inestimable privilege
and are conscious that Our feelings and
interests have been neglected

EX-Selectman Morris objected to the
resolution. This is just like all reso-
lutions that have been prepared in this
meeting house. a committee is appoint
ed and then they draw a typewriter
document from their pocket"
ITS not typewriter, put in Mr..
Geddes
Mr.. Morris continued and Mr.. Geddes
sharply called him to order and asked
him to confine himself to the question.
But the eX-selectman needed not the in
functions of the chairman and then
the fun began.
Take your seat Mr. Morris sharply
demanded the chair.
Il am going to hold the floor" re-
torted Mr.. Morris. He then proceeded,
but again was interrupted.
If you don't conf1ne yourself to the
question you can leave the hall or I
will have the sergeant-at-arms put
you OUT Numbered the chair.

It looked as if the selectman and the
eX-selectman would challenge each
other to settle the point of order out
side, but the latter came to the point
by offering the following as a substi-
tute for the above resolution:
Be it resolved by this meeting of Re-
publicans of the Third precinct of Salt
Lake City, that the action of the city
council in filing the vacancy in the
council occasioned by the death of
Joseph NJ. Watson be commended as
a faithful performance of a duty i'm
posed by law. and that we congratu-
late the citizens of the whole city in
securing such an able representative
of the Third precinct.
1t is needless to say this resolution
was voted down. and the former then
passed almost unanimously.
After a collection had been taken up
to defray expenses, and a committee
consisting of ]. M. Tanner had been
appointed to present the resolutions to
the City council the gathering broke
up.

FIGHT STILL ON.
Union Pacific and Atchison Difficult
ty Not Settled,

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE fight between
the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf and
the Atchison roads is not settled as much
as it was. Complications have arisen
which may prevent the immediate res
toration of passenger rates in Colorado.
The Union Pacific Denver & Gulf has
placed large number of cut rate tick
on to redeem them. 1t asks that the
other roads help it in so doing This all
the other lines have fatty refused to do,
and they will insist on the redemption by
the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf of all
tickets which it has placed on the mar
ket. The latter road does not like the
prospect, and there are good chances of
trouble before the matter is settled.
