CONFERENCE CLOSED
REV. ALFRED CLARK SPEAKS
ON SOCIAL PURITY
Bishop Montgomery Addresses the
Assemblage on Divorce, De-
nouncing the Practice

The Purity conference was brought to
a close last night by the Rev. Alfred s.
Clark, the rector of Christ Episcopal
church, who preached sermon on $50
cial Purity" The meetings throughout
have been we'll attended, noticeably the
afternoon sessions.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Teats, the
state secretary Of the Purity league,
read a paper on "How to Overcome In
herited Tendencies" The paper treated
the subject in an orthodox manner,
pointing out that the work Of the league
itself was directed toward the overcom-
ing of inherited defects.
The Rt. Rev. Bishop Montgomery next
addressed the assemblage on Divorce"
The bishop, as might be expected, spoke
strongly on the subject, lashing un-
mercifully the laws and the lawmakers
who made such lax system of marriage
breaking possible. His views on the
subject were expressed vigorously and
apparently met with entire approval
from the audience. w. c. Patterson,
who was announced to speak, was un-
able to be present.
In the evening the Rev. Alfred Clarke
delivered his sermon on Social Pur-
ity" To the Christian church we owe
the debt of the development of the So
cial conscience. The first step in social
purity is the education of the young.
The speaker grew warm over his sub
ject and spoke Of the public evils
against childhood's morals.
"Clean your streets! Not by sweep
ing the paving and the cutters; not by
removing the filth from the roadway;
but by cleaning street corners Of evil
places; by preventing fences on vacant
lots from shaming our children as they
pass to school I say, clean your
streets!"
Purity in the home life, the press and
| in literature was discussed, and then art
came in for few words. Immoral pic
lures and statues were severely scored.
Put them out of sight; aye, even though
1t be a Bacchante chiseled by Mac
Monnies and presented to a Boston Pub
| lie library. Put them out Of sight, say.
Genius has no right to assault the purity
Of an unsullied nation"
After hymn, and some announce
ments by the president, Mr.. Clark pro-
nounced the benediction and the meet
| ing broke up.

Discovered a Race of Pigmies

Two Danish explorers, but recently re-
turned from the center of Asia, have
made the discovery Of race of fire wor-
shippers who must be added to the list
of known races. They are totally un-
civilized and are, moreover, pigmies as
compared with other specimens of the
human race. Their popularity extends,
moreover. to their domestic animals,
their sheep being but little larger thar,
fox terriers, and their cattle no larger
than the ordinary foal. Their only
trade is the bartering Of furs, while a
woman can be bought for five cows or
fifteen sheep. The explorers found these
natives very timid, and ready to take to
their heels at the smallest provocation

RIGID TESTS OF TRAINMEN
New Safeguards Adopted by Compa'
MES to Avoid Accidents

In their efforts to reduce the number
Of accidents as much as possible. rail-
road companies have been exercising
great precaution during the last few
years as to whom they employ. It Is
good deal more difficult to qualify in
the train service department now than
few years ago. Not only must all
men who are engaged be experts at their
various duties. but they must pass a
thorough physical examination. Spe-
cial pains are taken to see that the eye
sight and hearing of engineers are per-
f.ct before they are placed in charge Of
an engine. Years ago, when man was
a good engineer. his chances for getting
employment from railroad company
were better than they are at present.
He was not asked many questions, but
this is now all over.
One Of the trainmen who recently was
subjected to an examination gave de-
tailed description Of the examination
which he was passed through. After
appearing before a doctor who saw that
he was sound in physique a close test of
his eyesight and hearing was begun. His
hearing was closely tested with medical
instruments. To be sure that no mis-
take could be made, he says the phys
ician took a stopwatch and held 1t quite
a distance from him. The doctor then
stopped the watch at intervals. and the
trainman was obliged to cay when the
watch was stopped or allowed to run
Having convinced the physician that his
hearing was good, he was compelled to
undergo a test Of his eyes. For this the
physician had many different colors Of
yarn, which were all mixed and placed
before him. He was then asked to pick
the various shades and match them. OF
course, a color-blind person or one with
poor eyesight could not do this. Having
SUCCESSFULLY stood the test. he was furn-
ished with certificate by the doctor
that he would do for train service work

No Indelible Ink for Stamps

Try as it will the United States gov
ernment has not discovered an indelible
ink for canceling postage stamps. For
years it has been making experiments
and offering rewards for discovery OF
an ink that cannot be erased A story
is told of two well-known chemists Of
two of the leading educational instltu-
tions Of the country claiming to be able
TO make an absolutely indelible ink. The
postofIice officials tested the prepara-
tions of both in curious way Stamps
marked by one professor were sent to
the other and vice versa. OF course each
one was eager to Demonstrate the in
feriority of any ink but his own, and
so all the stamps came back perfectly

CHASED A WHITE BUFFALO
Its Eleetness Of Foot Prevented Any
Hunter Getting It

During the summer Of 1875 bands Of
Indians returning from hunt far out
on the plains brought in stories Of hav-
ing seen at different times and in differ
ent places, and always In the center Of
large herd, white buffalo. They had
used their best horses in the effort to
overtake 1t, to no purpose, never being
able to get anywhere near the animal.
At first we did not pay much attention
to these stories, but still 1t kept cropping
up from different camps, and at last, in
the fall of 1876 myself had chance to
verify the truth Of the report. had been
sent on duty north along the Red Deer
river and was camped near large band
of Blackfeet who were hunting south of
that river. The buffalo had moved
north in vast numbers, and the prairie
was black with them.
I had gone out one morning with a
party Of Blackfeet to see one OF their
hunts, and also to try and kill for my
self. My horse was good one, and
much faster than any belonging to the
Indian hunters. had got detached
from the party, and must have been at
least twenty miles from camp, when
made for a small clump Of timber not
far off, intending to build fire and
roast a portion Of some buffalo meat
had on the saddle with me. AS ap-
preached the wood band Of about 100
animals burst out Of the brush and made
of to the south, and yes, most certain
ly In the middle of them was a white
buffalo. Although they were quarter
Of mile away, there could be no mis-
take about it; he was there as large as
life and quite white and running like a
deer. There was no time to much more
than take in the scene. but gathered up
the reins and was after him, determined
to bag that buffalo or kill my horse.
oh, what race 1t was. mile after
mile, and although all the band with
the exception of about dozen had split
off and gone in different directions, the
white animal, with his bodyguard of
about a dozen, kept at about the same
distance ahead. I could catch a
glimpse OF him now and then, and there
was no doubt he was snow white. Get
within shot could not for many miles.
At last they began to tire, and, although
my horse tired also, had good hopes OF
coming up and getting shot. Alas! for
a chance. OF a sudden my horse lurched
forward on his nose, sending me over his
head onto the prairie and turning q
somersault himself, missing me by only
a few feet. He had put his foot into a
badger hole and brought my hopes OF
white robe to sudden end.-Forest

MORAN'S BONDSMEN
ARE INVOLVED IN AN UNCOM-
PORTABLE PREDICAMENT
Seventy Attachments Levied-The
Administrators of the Bridget
Wilson Estate

Strenuous efforts are being made for
the immediate settlement Of the suit
brought by the executors Of the estate
Of the late Bridget Wilson against the
bondsmen, Of former Special Admins
traitor John p Moran to recover $9316.64,
the amount Of the admitted indebted
ness to the estate,
No suit filed in the courts here recently
has tied up more property interests than
has this one. After Mrs. Wilson's death
her will was attacked and finally re-
voked and Mr.. Moran was by order Of
the court appointed special administra-
tor. This action Of the court was set
aside by the supreme court and the es-
tate was returned to the control Of the
executors.
When called upon for a settlement
several days ago Mr.. Moran was unable
to make good the amount mentioned
which belonged to the estate. The at
torneys for the executors at once filed
action against him as principal and all
his bondsmen as sureties for the recov-
cry Of the amount.
The result has been that number of
valuable pieces Of property have been
tied up, the owners of which can
neither sell or otherwise realize on them.
Mr.. Moran's bondsmen are John McCon
nachie, Frank Sabichi, j. A. Philbin,
Joseph Mesmer, A. Adolf, Mrs. A. p.
Spencer, c. J. Shepard, George w. Bur-
ton and P. McAnany. In all seventy at
tachments were levied upon the prop
erty Of these persons and the amount
involved is enormous. AS yet the bonds
men have not decided whether to pay
the amount demanded or fight the mat
ter but some concerted action looking
to an immediate settlement will soon be
taken.

Sulphuring Walnuts

The sulphuring of walnuts is done at
the request, or demand, of the consumer,
who seems to be perfectly willing to pay
a higher price for the whitest nuts-sim-
ply because they please his eye. The
grower, having no further interest in the
matter than to get the largest possible
sack Of coin for his product, does the
bleaching. When the consumer will pay
the same price for the unshlphured nuts
as he does for the sulphured. the grower
will be mighty sudden in letting go the
practice. In walnuts, as in cured
peaches, apricots and, other fruits. the
grower Is bound to give the consumer
what he calls for. Stop the demand and

TWO HOURS DISCUSSION

question as to what was the best rem
edy was discussed for nearly two hours.
The committee first suggested that If
possible it would be advisable to secure
the services Of government inspector
who should have charge of the inspec-
tion of meats all over the city, the seals
of the other government inspectors to
be respected by him. It was pointed out
khat the government would not furnish
such an officer unless he was given
complete control Of the matter and would
not be required to be subject to the
orders of any municipal department.
The matter Of the passage Of an ordi-
nance for one central depot through
which all meats should pass and there
be inspected was brought up, but this
also was deemed impracticable, 1t being
stated that no such ordinance was possi-
BILE Of passage in the present complex
ion Of the council. 1t was agreed that
the matter would have to come to this
solution some day, but not at present.
The necessity Of an ante mortem exami-
nation Of beef cattle as well as an ex-
animation Of the beef after slaughter,
was agreed upon, and it was therefore
declared to be the sense of the board that
one Of the inspectors must be a veteri-
nary surgeon.
The report Of the committee was not
adopted as made, but was referred back
to the committee with instructions to
complete it as to detail and to make
the recommendations which the board
had suggested, that is that two inspect
ors be appointed and that one Of them
be delegated to look after bad meats
and fruits
ONE ACRE, TWO COWS
The proposed amendment to the ordi-
nance regulating the keeping of live
stock in the city, by which it was pro-
posed to allow all owners Of one acre
Of land or more the privilege of keeping
thereon two cows or other animals for
each half acre, the total number not to
exceed ten, was referred to Mayor
Snyder. In the meantime. the present
ordinance will be enforced. The OBJ
lection to the amendment as proposed
was that it allows the herding of cattle
near residences.
