LOGAN, Aug. 12.-Those who attend
ed meeting ait the tabernacle last Sum
Gay, missed the accustomed sweet sing
ing OF the choir. This was due to the
1aiot that Professor Lewis was not
leading it. Professor Lewis resigned
the leadership of the choir for reasons
that are NOT known. This was a great
blow TO the choir and also the stake.
Inc Logan choir has long been known
as one of the best in Utah. The stake
presidency and the choir held a. meet
ing to discuss this resignation last
evening. After considering the maAer
Professor Lewis was asked to again
take up the duties OF leader. To this
he consented.
Those who heard his choir sing ait
the dedication of the Salt Lake temple
said that it was second to none but thu
SALT Lake choir, which goes a long way
towards the praise of the members and
Professor Lewis.
VISITORS 50 this city if remaining over
sunday always attend the meeting in
the tabernacle to hear the singing,
which they praise not a little
Singers in the theatrical troops have
been heard to praise it on its singing
and selection of songs. It's harmonious
and melodious effects win for it a re-
nnwn than make many choirs envy it,
This undoubtedly is due to the efficient
leadership Of Professor Alex. Lewis
He has lead the choir for twenty-five
years and it had grown as dear to him
as his own family, as he said after the
meeting last evening that he felt that
leaving the choir was ike leaving his
own family. The members were also
greatly pleased ait his acceptance of
the position again.

NEW YORK, Aug. ia Sun spec

In Secretary Carlisle's mail yesterday
came a letter from Minister Ransom
at the City of Mexico, containing a
copy of the Mexican Herald, in which
was published an article calling atten-

American money. The article sets
forth that two young Americans in one
Of the Central American states-pre-
sllmably Guatemala-have been for
some time purchasing native silver
dollars at the current price of about
80 cents and coming them into Ameri-
