Divine Sarah's Intrepidity.

New York, Dec. ga Paris cable
to the World is as follows:
Sarah Bernhard narrowly escaped
being swallowed up in the crater of Mt
Vesuvius during her recent visit to
Naples. Here is the story in her own
eloquent words:
Before leaving Naples | wished to
have the strange sensation of seeing
Vesuvius by night. It would be my

Hicks January Predictions.


Hicks predicts the following wealth
or for january: Look for lightning
and thunder on or about the I'd as a
result Of the moons passage over the
earth's equator. The 1st and I'd are
reactlonary storm days, hence on and
druing these days 1t will grow warmer
barometer will fall, and cloudlness and
rain and probable thunder in the south
turning to snow in most sections
northward may reasonably be expected
A Aprdmpt and sharp rise of barometer
and rush OF cold from the northwest
should be anticipated in the rear of
these mid-winter storms. A regular
vulcan storm period covers the 4th to
8th. A reactionary storm period will
be central from the 11th to 13uh, and a
regular Vulcan storm period from the
18th to 10th. On and touching the oath
to 10th, falling barometer, change to
warmer, with return of rain and snow
storms will be very natural. Another
sharp return to cold will bring up the
rear of these disturbances, but the cold
wave will suddenly moderate as we
enter the Vulcan storm period, extend
ing from the 28tn to 31st.

Bacon a EinanCier,

While Mr.. Bacon, president of the
Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern
Road, is not a practical railroad man,
you can take off your hat to him as a
meier, and make no mistake.
When he went abroad with the
avowed intention of raising $4,000, 900
to be Used for improvement of the B.
and o. S. W., and for the purchase of
new equipment, wise people shook
their heads and said 1t couldn't be
done, as the roads fixed charges at
present were as much as the property
would stand. Mr.. Bacon had secured
money before for the B. & o. s. W.,
and it was thought that the foreign
capitalists would not stand another
tap for the same road. .
They did, however, and Mr.. Bacon
while abroad made arrangements for
the needed funds, and while B. and o.
bonds and B. and o. common and pre-
ferred stock are to be issued, the mon
ey is practically loaned Oh, the B. and
o. S. W., whicn it was thought Would
not stand good for a dollar more than
is now on it. q
Mr.. Bacon is certainly born fiHan-
cier, and If the people connected with
the B. >. reorganization have. not
made money with the price of 'the
stock soaring away up uney have no
one to blame but themselves, and 1t is
good bet to make that they are all
ameless-Enquirer.

nODoFIS'S pSteilSe W TOtySdnly'
The published interview with Hon.
B. H. Roberts, the Mormon congress
man-elect from Utah, defending polyg-
amy, Is remarkable. for its boldless,
ana9<h&ee)Os} SAM {
MI. Roberts denies that he was in
tervieWed, but admits, that a newspa-
per- haai calfedi on Aifh to Ascertain MS
views regarding the opposition thSsst lhSsst
has been raised on account Of his mar
ital practices. and that he had discuss
ed the matter Whether the state
ments made. by him were intended for
puDncation or not, lie published inter
view no doubt REFLECTS his feelings with
reasonable accuracy.
Mr. Roberts intimates that his Of
Tense at most is unlawful cohabitation
i. and that the way is clear to anyone
who wants to test his right to take
his seat in congress. Moreover, he
!, claims to have legal advice that there
is no obstacle to his taking the oath
OF Office, Notwithstanding all polyga-
mists are disfranchised under the Ed
munds-Tucker law. He depends large
ly upon what he is pleased to term the
liberal and broad-minded view of the
members of congress and the Ameri-
can people to carry him through.
Right here the American people will
take issue with Mr.. Roberts and we be-
lieve that congress, which represents
the people, will do likewise. The
American people are liberal and broad
minded, but the congressman-elect
from Utah, is mistaken in his estimate
of them If he believes their generous
characteffsties win sanction anything
that is s0~obnoxious to modern civlli-
cation as polygamy. The opposition
to polygamy is not confined to religi-
Ous denominations. The American
congress does not legislate for classes
and when the Edmund Tucker law was
enacted 1t was for the whole Ameri-
can people, who are too liberal to toll
crate anything which has been stamp
ed by Christian civilization as unlaw-
full.
Mr.. Roberts has, by attempting to
thrust his DolygamOus views into con-
gress, taken issue with the American
people, who have decided that this
feature of the Mormon faith can have
40 permanent abiding place among
them While the religious denomina-
ti0ns have led the opposition that is
being waged 10 the admission of Mr..
Roberts to congress, public sentiment
Is back of 1t and congress should, and,
we believe. will. officially condemn his
views on polygamy.-Ohio State Jour
